"Beck?" Tori asked as she stepped in front of him in the hall that day. He hadn't talked to her since they'd slept together. He'd said he was confused, that he was still unsure about his feelings due to his relationship with Jade, or lack of relationship Tori amended as she wiped her sweaty palms on her hands. It had been over a week since it happened and Beck couldn't avoid her any longer. She wouldn't let him. She couldn't let him. Even though she was scared as hell she knew she had to tell him. "Beck please!" She exclaimed as he tried to side step her.

"Look, I've got to go to class right now Tori. Could we do this later?"

"Well we could, but you're probably just going to avoid me again so I don't think so." She replied and folded her arms over her chest. The last time she'd checked Beck was just as a willing participant in this as she was.

He sighed, "I'm not avoiding you!" He spread his arms wide and Tori felt anger bubble in her chest.

"You're not?" She asked sarcastically and stepped forward so that she was invading his personal space. "Because it sure as hell seems like you are. You've been running off every time I walk into a room and when you are stuck with me you ignore the shit out of me!"

"Okay Tori? Don't curse, it doesn't suit you."

"Stop changing the subject!" Tori shouted, her breathing erratic. She didn't mean to but she was hyperventilating and her eyes were filling with tears.

"Hey, are you okay?" Beck asked grabbing her by the arm. The look in his eyes was one she hadn't seen on him since they'd done it and it reminded her of how he was with her before.

"I wish we'd never had sex." She groaned with a shake of her head and Beck looked around in alarm.

"I thought we'd agreed to keep it quiet." He replied his eyes wide.

"No, you'd told me we were going to keep it quiet and I listened. Besides, its going to be hard to do that now."

"What do you mean?" He asked kindly.

"You know, you should stop switching your personality so fast, you're making me dizzy. And if you make me dizzy, I'm going to be sick."

"Charming." He replied with a smile and Tori shook her head.

Tears were spilling out of her eyes against her will and she wasn't sure whether she could do this any more. Beck was messing with her head and she knew she couldn't take it any longer. She needed to do this but she couldn't do it right now, if she tried she'd fall apart right now in the hallway.

"I gotta go." She choked out before she turned and ran into the girl's bathroom. She felt like she was going to be sick.. and she was.

Tori emerged from her stall 10 minutes later to find Beck waiting by the sink. "You can't be in here." She said as she washed her hands, "This is the girl's bathroom."

Beck sighed and pushed his hair back from his face. Tori knew he was trying to figure out what to say to her, she could see it in his face, so she washed her face and rinsed out her mouth giving him time to think up a sentence.

"I'm sorry." He managed when she was finished and Tori arched an eyebrow. Really? All she was going to get was an 'I'm sorry?'

"I'm sorry I was such an ass-hole." He said sensing she wanted him to continue, "I'm sorry if I hurt you by acting the way I did, but I'm just confused. I've been in a relationship with Jade for most of my life, you know? I thought I was ready to move on from her, I thought I was ready to love someone again, but I'm not. I still love her. She annoys me and makes me mad, she argues with me all the time and doesn't always think of other people as much as I'd like her to but I can't help it. A part of me will always love her." He paused and stepped forward, "But a part of me already loves you Tori." He grabbed her hands, "A part of me has loved you ever since I laid eyes on you when you first started at Hollywood Arts. You're so different than anyone I've ever met, you're special, you glow...you shine. You're the one I can never get out of my head. The one that makes my heart skip a beat just by being in the same room as me. I love you Tori Vega but I love Jade too, and I hate myself for it."

"Is that why you've been avoiding me?" Tori asked tears filling her eyes again. Only this time, they were tears of happiness. Beck just told her he loved her! She'd needed to hear those words so badly and she hadn't even realised how much until now.

"Yes. I've been avoiding you because I don't know what to do Tori. I hate myself for sleeping with you when I still love someone else, even if I do love you too."

"You were drunk Beck. We both were, it's not like you planned this. Neither of us planned this."

"That's supposed to make it okay?" He asked his brown eyes piercing, "That's supposed to make it better?"

"I don't know. I really don't." The weight of her situation hit her and Tori leaned wryly against the counter for support. She knew she had to tell him, she had to do this. But she couldn't. When she opened her mouth to say it Tori found the words dying on her tongue. She just couldn't get the words out! Maybe it was the way he was looking at her right now, with his eyes all wide, lost and vulnerable that made her keep it to herself. She wasn't sure, she didn't think she ever would be. Her body was moving without her permission, her mouth forming the words she knew Beck needed to hear before she even told it to.

"It's okay Beck. We'll just forget it ever happened, okay? We never slept together."

"Are you sure?" He asked a small unbelieving smile cracking slowly across his face.

"Yeah I'm sure. It never happened."

"What never happened?" He asked with a cheeky smile returning to his old self in seconds.

"Ha ha, very funny." She replied, faking a smile was they walked out of the bathroom together.

Jade exited her stall a few minutes after she heard the door close and looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't believe it! Beck and Tori slept together? She shuddered. Just when she'd thought she and Tori might of been friends. But what she really couldn't get out of her head was Beck's words. He still loved her! Beck was still in love with her. Of course, he was also in love with Tori. But that wouldn't last very long, Jade thought as she smiled to herself in the mirror, she was going to win her man back.
