Escaping Fame

The Unlucky Ones

Cat walked into the trailor with her new friend Tori.

"I got so scared, I thought no one could save me
You came along scooped me up like a baby

Every now and then the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?

Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time"

They heard the music, Jade was clearly singing, and paused in the doorway so they wouldn't interrupt. They watched as Jade sung and Beck strummed his guitar. They watched as Beck and Jade leaned in while she sang and he played, as if the music was pushing them together.

Cat started clapping making them slightly jump apart from each other and turn to see their best friends in the doorway.

"That was great, Jade. New song?" Cat asked walking over.

Jade cleared her throat. "Yeah. I was just working with Beck to get the music right. He plays guitar."

"I see that. So.. I went shopping with Tori and you decided to work on a new song without me? Like I'm not your partner?"

"No. No, no, no. It's not like that. I just- I saw Beck's guitar in the corner and I asked if he played, and then he started playing one of our songs, but ya know, I didn't write those. So I wanted to show him one of the ones I wrote, but I didn't have my binder and all I could think of was the newest one because it's in my head until I write it down."

Cat sighed. "I saw what you were doing Jade and you can't. We didn't fake our own deaths, we just ran off, but eventually we will have to go back. You know that." Cat said with a huff.

Jade shook her head. "I wasn't doing anything and after a much needed break we'll go back."

Cat nodded. "Good. Don't. Now, come see the outfits we got you."

Jade spared a glance towards Beck then she stood and followed Cat out of the Rv to Beck's car.

Tori sighed and sat down near Beck where Jade was sitting. "So, you two seemed really close."

Beck sighed and strummed his guitar absent-mindedly.

"Seemed like you were about to-"

"Tori, please, she's a celebrity. I know nothing will ever happen between us and I'm okay with it."

Tori rubbed his shoulder. "You are a terrible liar, Beckett."

He sighed again. "I know, but I also know this isn't forever. It's a week, maybe two, and I can't be with her for that long. If I even had a chance with a girl like Jade I would want it to be forever and it can't, so I can't make a move."

"Well, you could still make a move, if she wants you too. How many average guys can say they saved then kissed a celebrity?"

He shook his head. "I will never kiss Jade West. Not if it's only for a moment. If I kiss that girl once, I'll want to kiss her all the time."

"Your romantic nature is biting you in the ass right now dude." Tori started chuckling.

Beck groned and fell back with his guitar. "I know." He whined.

Tori laughed and leaned over to strum his guitar. "Buck up, Beck."
