Hours later…
Cat came back into her bedroom and walked out into the hallway, towards the living room, where she saw her older brother there, watching TV. "Where's Beck? I have great news!"
Andre shrugged. "He went for a walk to stretch out his muscles…about an hour ago. I let him take my phone so he wasn't without one."
Cat nodded. "Oh, okay."
Beep, beep.
Cat grabbed her phone from her back pocket and saw it was from Beck, well, from Andre's phone. She smiled, excited to tell him the great news. But when she saw the text…her world froze.
Goodbye, Cat. I loved you. Thanks for everything.
"Houston, we have a problem." Cat squeaked out, tears streaming her eyes.
Andre looked to her with a confused expression. "Who's Houston?"
Cat glared back at her brother. "Dude, this is NOT the time! Get up! We need to save Beck!" And she ran out of the house.
Andre stood up quickly, rushing after her. "What? Wait, what's happening?"
…
Beck gripped the slippery railing of the rickety bridge that was out of everyone's way, but there was a tiny creak at the bottom, surrounded by large rocks. If someone jumped from there, they'd die upon impact.
That was the main plan.
He couldn't stay with his dad.
He couldn't take the beatings.
He couldn't take the evil words.
He couldn't take the betrayal.
He couldn't take the guilt.
He couldn't take the pain on Cat's face when she sees him wince in pain.
"I'm so sorry, Cat." He whispered after he set the phone down on the side. They'll trace the phone. Then they'll find Andre's phone and his body. "I loved you so much." But it must be done, as he thought and continuously told himself, over and over. He knew no one would really miss him, besides Cat and Andre, but they would move on. They just met him, after all. They'll have no trouble making friends at Hollywood Arts in the fall.
She'll be fine. Beck convinced himself as he thought about Cat and how upset she'd be.
"BECK!"
He could almost hear her voice now.
"BECK OLIVER!"
He immediately stepped back as he realized that wasn't in his head…Cat was here…and not happy.
He was confused. "How did you find me?" He asked in shock.
Cat was still on the safe side as she was inches away of entering the bridge. "My uncle's a cop. I had him trace the text. Beck, get over here! This bridge is totally unsafe!"
"That's the plan, Cat." Beck told her in desperation. "Leave. Don't watch this."
Cat grabbed onto the railing as she tried walking towards him. Her fear of heights almost getting the best of her, but she gulped it down. Beck was in danger. She had to talk him out of this. "Beck, I have to tell you something."
"No, I don't want to hear it!" Beck snapped, growling at her, backing away. "I'm jumping! I'm ending it all!"
Cat glared as she was halfway to him. She stomped her foot. "Beck- AH!" Suddenly the wood planks from under her gave out from her stomp and she fell through, but wrapped onto the railing closest to her. Since it was slippery, she was losing grip. "Beck! Help me! Please!"
Beck's heart was pounding as he carefully was walking towards her, realizing how unstable the bridge was. "Don't panic! I'm coming!"
Cat couldn't help herself as she looked down and saw the sharp, large rocks below her. The impact would kill her, definitely. She whimpered as she felt herself losing her grip. "Beck, please! I'm slipping!"
Beck crawled over and tried to reach for her, but it seemed to be too far. "Cat! Hang on! Please! Don't let go!"
Cat let her tears fall. "Beck, don't let me die! I can't!"
Beck tried to keep his own tears in as he focused on getting closer. "You won't. You're never dying." He growled in anger and determination as he finally was able to reach her hand. "I'll protect you forever."
Cat felt her hand let go and she screamed sharply, but was relieved when Beck had a grip on her hand. She held his with both of hers. She gulped. "How can you protect me if you kill yourself?" She whispered.
Beck gritted his teeth together as he held her hand with all his might. "You made me realize that I can't leave you. You need me and I need you."
Cat nodded. "We can get through this together."
Beck grunted as he used all his strength to pull her up. He wrapped his arm around her back and swung her up, both of them falling back onto the boards behind him, breathing heavily. Cat sobbing into his jacket, while he held her tightly, vowing to never let her out of his sight again.
Andre ran towards the bridge in fear. "Cat! Cat! Beck! Are you guys alright?"
Beck nodded. "We'll be fine, man." He sat up carefully, helping Cat up. "Help me get your sister over there. This bridge isn't safe." Andre nodded and did as Beck demanded.
Beck changed on that bridge that day…
Instead of feeling the helplessness and weakness he had been feeling for the past few years…he now felt power and love.
No one would separate him and Cat.
…
So Cat's big news was that Beck's father agreed to give up custody to the Valentine family while he went to AA meetings and therapy and more to get help. After talking to Mr. and Mrs. Valentine, they immediately agreed and moved Beck in from the RV to Andre's room, getting him a second bed and dresser.
Everyone noticed a difference within Beck that day. He no longer was a pushover or a weakling. He was a boyfriend to who he thought was the most beautiful, innocent girl in the world. He was her protector and shelter. He would always be there for her. He didn't want the scare of almost losing her like he had on that bridge when she almost fell to her death trying to save him. He wasn't making that stupid mistake again.
And also…Cat wrote a song out of this experience too and sold it.
After opening his birthday present and receiving what he already knew Cat was going to get him, which was a Pear-Phone, all of his own, he leaned over to her and kissed her lips. "I love you, beautiful girl."
Cat giggled. "I love you too, baby boy. Happy birthday."
Beck watched as the Valentine Family reacted with each other and with him. Love, cherish, and freedom.
That's what he felt.
From all that he suffered, he was glad when Cat Valentine came into his life and saved him.
