I Need You chapter 1

Cat's POV

As, Tori and Beck ended Finally Falling, I wondered why I felt a little bad while I clapped.

The feeling was strange...sort of like something I never felt before...

"Good job guys!" Andre' congratulated them from backstage, where we were.

"Thanks." Tori said smiling at Beck.

I looked down, then continued to clean up the ice-cream Tori knocked out of my hand, before the performance.

While everyone else, including me told them good job, Jade, Beck's girlfriend just stood near the curtain glaring. She's the jealous type...

I can't blame her though, because I'd feel the same way with Tori always prancing around him in too-tight/short clothing, and getting close to him during every exercise in drama class!

Woah Cat...Where did that anger even come from?...anyways, sometime's Jade has a good reason to be mean.

After the show ended, a party was thrown at Tori's house.

"Hey guys!" she greeted me, Robbie, and Jade as we walked in.

"Whatever." Jade said walking away.

I couldn't help but notice how short her dress was, and scrunched my nose in disgust.

"What's wrong Cat?" she asked.

I put on my fake smile as usual, that everyone found so real.

"Oh nothing. Just tired that's all." I said with my "nice" voice. The only voice I use around my friends.

"Well wake up! It's party time!" she yelled running over to turn up the volume on the stereo.

As everyone danced to the upbeat tune playing, I looked to my right and noticed Jade dancing awfully close with Beck.

The feeling happened again. I was still trying to figure out what it was! Whatever it was though, it made me angry.

I turned away and walked into the kitchen to get something to drink. Hopefully nothing had alcohol in it.

As I turned with my drink, I accidently bumped into someone.

"Oops, sorry." the male voice said. I looked up and met eyes with a really cute guy and smiled. All my anger vanished.

"It's alright." I said. He handed me a napkin, and I did my best to clean off the top of my shirt.

"So, you know Tori?" I asked as we walked over to the living room trying to avoid crazy teens on the dancefloor.

"Well...yeah. I'm actually shocked she invited me." he said.

"Really? Why?" I asked.

"Well-..." but before he answered Robbie ran over to me with Rex.

"Hey Cat! Sorry to interrupt you, but Rex wants to dance." he said.

"Come on Sweet Thang!" Rex said loudly.

I was extremely embarrassed cause, for one, Rex is a puppet, and two, Robbie isn't the coolest guy.

The guy I was talking to looked at me funny.

"Um...now isn't a good time Rex..." I whispered. Now, he'll think I'm crazy for talking to a puppet!

"Oh come on sugar!" Rex said only making matters worse.

I covered my face in embarrassment.

"Uh...you can go. It doesn't really matter." the guy said.

"No no!" I said.

"Really, it's cool." he reassured me.

I nodded and before I was pulled off asked him, "What's your name?"

"Danny." he responded. I smiled at him once more, before being pulled off to dance with an impatient, annoying, Rex.

Finally, after the darn song was through, I was free to sit back down and enjoy the party. After refilling my glass once more, I sunk down into the sofa and chugged down the liquid until the cup was empty. I felt the cushion next to me sink in.

I looked up right into the eyes of Beck.

"Hey Cat." he said.

I gave him a nod along with a small smile.

"Enjoying the party?" he asked.

Right before I could respond, Danny found his way over to me.

"Hey, uh Cat right?" he asked.

I nodded my head.

"You wanna dance?" he asked. I looked to Beck who didn't seem at all fazed before agreeing.

"Sure." I responded. I stood up and hooked arms with him, before being dragged onto the dancefloor for the second time that night.
