F is for Fighting

"It's been a week and a half and she still hasn't spoken to me." Beck says to Andre as they walk down the hallway to third period. He looks at Beck with confusion written all over his face. "Seriously? Well have you tried talking to her?" Beck sighs and nods, "Yeah I've tried talking to her, I've been over her house almost every single day which resulted with us arguing, she locked herself in her room until I left. It's tearing me apart, I've called and texted her but she keeps ignoring me. Trina called me last night telling me that she hears Tori crying at night, I don't see what I did wrong." He says, Tori walks by Andre and Beck feeling a tinge of hurt flash through her body, she begins to shake a little. "Well let's see, your dad's mom disapproved of her and you didn't even defend her because you were too scared to, yeah I'd be mad too." Beck frowns. Tori continues to walk by, feeling distraught, "Tori, can I talk to you for a minute?" Beck asks her and walks up to her.

Tori races away and ignores Beck's question, "Tori!" Beck pleads as she walks into American History. Tori rolls her eyes and finds her seat which is in between Jade and Cat, "Why was Beck just calling you?" Jade asks and smiles at her phone as Andre texts her, they have been dating for about a year. A light laugh leaves Tori's lips as she sits down in her seat. "He says he wants to talk but I could care less." Cat sighs, and runs her hands through her long dark red curls, "Seriously? You're that mad at him over the fact that his grandma didn't like you?" Tori rolls her eyes, "Well he had the option of standing up for me, instead he just stood there." Tori says, a few tears run down her face, Cat and Jade look at each other as Tori wipes her eyes. They both nod at each other and rub Tori's back, "Well why don't you just give him a chance to explain it? I mean you both look really upset." Cat states, Tori raises her eyebrows at Cat's idea and rolls her eyes.

Mr. Thorn's class starts, "Okay class today we're going to finish our lecture on the Black Plague." Tori leans forward on her desk and listens as her teacher teaches about one of her favorite topics in history.

Beck sits in Calculus and runs his hands through his long dark brown wavy hair, "I just don't know how I'm going to get her to listen to me." Beck says feeling devastated, "You've been in this whole depressive state for a week and a half, I'm sick of seeing it." Robbie says and pats Beck's arm. "Yeah man, suck it up and talk to her." Rex says, "Shut up puppet." Beck groans and puts his head in his hands.

"Guys, is there something you'd like to share with the class?" Mrs. Smith asks the guys, "No." The three of them quickly answer. "Well actually, Beck is upset about he and Tori being in an argument." Rex says, Beck smacks Robbie in the back of his head. "Ow!"

Mrs. Shore laughs and lets out a sigh and walks over to Beck, Andre, and Robbie. "Beck, arguments happen in relationships, you and Tori have been together for the past three years and are one of the most amazing couples I've ever seen. Whatever argument you two are having, I hope you two solve it. I want to see you both smiling the next time I see you guys." She smiles at him and walks back to her desk.

Beck turns his attention back to his calculus book and tries to not think of Tori.

Twenty minutes later the senior bell rings signaling that it is now time for fourth period, Beck packs his book into his bag and waits for Andre to finish packing up. "Thank you for the talk Mrs. Shore." Mrs. Shore smiles at Beck, "You're welcome sweetie, I meant what I said though." The both laugh. Beck and Andre walk out of class and start walking to third period, Beck glances at Tori as she walks past them. They have the same class yet Tori decides to take a different way to fourth period. "Hey Tori." Beck says and tries to talk to Tori who looks heartbroken, Tori keeps walking and wipes the tear that fell from her eye. She walks into fourth period and takes her seat next to Jade who rubs her back. "Just talk it out with him."

"Nope, I'm not doing it." Jade rolls her eyes at her stubborn best friend and pulls out her tablet as class begins. She and Tori begin taking notes when Beck glances at her from the side, "Oh who are we kidding we're not taking notes, Tori, Beck, get up here." Sikowitz excitedly yells. Tori hesitates and gets up, waking to the front of the stage, Beck follows. They both stand far away from each other and try to avoid eye contact, "Okay, you two are going to do alphabet improv on anything you guys want to, okay go!" Sikowitz says and sits down.

"How are you?" Beck asks Tori, "I really don't want to speak to you."

"Just sit and talk to me, it's been almost two weeks."

"Kinda told you no. Remember?"

"Let me explain." Tori shakes her head as tears threaten to fall out of her eyes, "No, Beck, what part of the words I don't want to speak to you do you not understand. Do you really not know why I'm upset?!" Tori screams in frustration, "I really don't understand why you're upset, it was not my fault." Tori grabs her things and angrily walks out of the classroom, Beck heads over to Cat and Jade, he gives Andre a quick glance. "I'm going to go talk to her in the janitor's closet, can you unlock it after fifth period?" Beck whispers to Cat and Jade, "Yeah sure." They both whisper. He grabs his bags and heads out of Sikowitz's classroom, Sikowitz looks entertained as well as completely confused. "Okay, Katie, Jade, Andre, Robbie, and Cat, you guys are up next."

"Tori!" Beck screams and follows his upset girlfriend, Tori continues to walk, Beck gently grabs Tori wrist and walks into the janitor's closet. "Let me go!" She yells, he shuts the door behind them and lets her wrist go. Tori pouts and sits on the floor and runs her hands through her hair, trying to avoid all contact with Beck. A few tears roll down her face as Beck kneels down in front of her and sighs, he hates knowing that he hurt Tori. "Yes?" Tori says with a slight bass in her voice, something that alarmed Beck. He wipes Tori's cheek and she moves his hand away. "We're not leaving until we talk about this." Beck says in a stern voice, "Okay then, why didn't you just say something to your mom and grandma? You saw how they were like with me." Tori snaps, Beck sighs and starts to talk. "I was in complete shock when that happened and I had no idea what to do which is why I just stood there." She looks at him in disbelief and a tear rolls down her face again which makes Beck want to reach out and hug her, "Beck, you could've still said something, but you just sat there." Her voice cracks. Beck immediately wraps his arms around Tori and sways back and forth, she pushes him off of her.

Beck's eyes begin to water, "Tori, listen to me you know I would never ever do anything to hurt you and I love you with everything I have in me. You are the key to my heart and if you're still upset with me I understand. I should've said something from the beginning, not when it was just me and my grandma by ourselves. You are my world and I love you so much. I don't want to lose you because of my grandma." Beck now has tears in his eyes which makes Tori feel upset.

He gulps and sits down on the floor, mentally beating himself up over making Tori cry. He stares into the corner, not wanting to look into Tori's eyes, Tori lets out a long sigh and glances at Beck. She looks away and sits in deep thought, "What did you say to her?" She says breaking the silence.

"I told her that you meant the world to me and you're the best thing that's ever happened to me, she didn't care though. It hurts because I really want her to see how much of an amazing person you are." Beck wipes his eyes again which makes Tori feel slightly bad for being mean to him.

Beck grabs her hand and this time Tori does not move it or try to fight it. Her eyes begin to well with water so she climbs into Beck's lap and hugs him. Neither of them say a word and hold each other in their arms, she lets out everything that she held inside of her, confusion, anger, heartbreak, and love all in the form of tears. Beck holds her close as she cries on his chest, he holds her tighter and soothingly runs her back. "I'm so sorry that I hurt you Tori."

"I'm sorry for not speaking to you." She says and her voice cracks again. Beck lifts Tori's chin up and connects his lips with hers, Tori closes her eyes. The kiss was just soft and simple but sent sparks all through Tori's body. They both pull away, Tori places her head on Beck's chest as he repeatedly kisses her forehead. "Do you know how much I missed this?" He asks, Tori shakes her head, still not saying a word. She looks up at Beck and plays with her hands, Beck grabs her hands. "What's wrong?"

"Why doesn't your grandma like me?" Beck holds Tori close to him and kisses her forehead, "She didn't tell me why, all she said was that you were bad for me or something, which I snapped and told her that I love you and that you're not going anywhere. If it helps I'm grounded because I snapped." Tori closes her eyes and lays her head against Beck's chest, "Thank you for telling me that." Beck presses another kiss to Tori's forehead and nods his head. He lets out a deep sigh and continuously kisses Tori's forehead, "So how long are you grounded for?" Tori smiles, Beck kisses her cheek.

"I don't even know." He groans. The bell rings for fifth period and Tori leaps up, Beck follows her lead and instantly kisses her lips, his hands cups her cheeks as hers find his midsection, "I love you." Tori murmurs and goes back to kissing Beck, he pulls away and rests his forehead on Tori's forehead, "I love you too Tori." Beck wraps his arms around his girlfriend and lets out a deep and thankful sigh, silently thanking God for giving Tori back to him.

"I kinda told Cat, Andre and Jade that we were going to be in here until the end of fifth period because I wanted to spend time with you." He and Tori laugh, Tori pulls Beck's face down to her's and kisses his lips once more, Tori pushes Beck against the door and continues kissing him. "Whoa." Beck breathes, Tori laughs as Beck begins to kiss her neck, she happily sighs and kisses Beck's cheek. "Thank you for telling them about fifth period." Beck kisses Tori's cheek, "No problem."

"I missed your lips." Beck whispers, Tori laughs and feels her face heating up from the butterflies she just got. "I missed yours too babe."

Eight hours later a happy Tori is seen in her bedroom with Beck by her side. They have been laying on Tori's floor talking about everything they missed from that past week. "Did you hear about Jenna's little brother?" Beck shakes his head, Tori laughs, "He apparently ran around school in his underwear singing the national anthem." Beck's eyes widen and he lets out a huge laugh, "What? That's crazy."

"I know right." Beck grabs Tori's hand and removes his sharpie cap, "Keep your arm still."

Beck begins to write on Tori's arm, "Forever and always. 2/15/2012."

"Forever and always."
