The sun rose, and soon Tori's alarm went off, waking both her and the guy beside her up. She lifted her arm, turning it off, before lying back on his bed. "I have to go..." She said, in a lazy voice. He tightened his arms around her, still keeping his eyes closed, only half awake.

"It's too early." He told her, in the deep, husky, sleepy voice she was already familiar with, but still gave her chills. "Just stay." He now said, almost like a whisper. Pulling her closer, he wrapped his arm around her neck, and rested his forehead against hers.

"Okay." She answered, giving him a brief kiss. He ran his fingers on her cheek, until reaching her hair-line, brushing some hair away from her face, and kissing the place his fingers previously were. She traced down his jaw line with her fingers, tilting his head towards her mouth, kissing him deeply. They rolled around the sheets, an effortless giggle came out of her, as he pushed her down to the bed, with the dust of sleep in his eyes. She squeezed his shoulders, he moaned softly on her ear. They enjoyed the morning in ways they only could when roommates weren't around.

"I love you." Tori said, giving him one last kiss before getting up, and starting to get dressed as he fell back asleep.

She walked out of his building with just as much doubt as the night before. Should or shouldn't she go to the blind date? As she walked on the main street, observing the students walk to class with their fresh cups of coffee. She tried to go to her happy place, clear her mind and just live. But it seemed impossible, the only thing on her mind was Beck. She didn't want to hurt him, she didn't want to lose him.

Tori turned around the corner, finally getting to the conclusion that it would all work out if anonymous had lied to her. She hoped that this person ended up being a girl, or someone completely different from who he actually said he was. That way she wouldn't take the risk of losing Beck, for falling for this other person. Or getting stuck in a love triangle she never wanted to be part of.

'What would Jennifer Aniston do in this situation?' She asked herself, grabbing her keys and walking inside her room. She found Robbie passed out on Cat's bed, under her pink sheets. She grabbed a towel and a change of clothes, and locked herself in the bathroom.

After a few minutes under the water, she heard her roommates high pitch voice, and her high heels clacking on the ground loudly as she walked inside room. Tori went in to take a long, hot shower. But the smell of food Cat had dragged in, and that somehow had taken over the entire place, plus her empty stomach, spoke louder.

"Morning." She said, walking out of her bathroom.

"Hiii!" Cat said, pointing at the bag of bagels and muffins she had bought. "Want some?!" Tori didn't even answer, she just grabbed a banana muffin, and sat back in her bed, eating as she began to get ready for the day. She took a nap, since she had barely gotten any sleep through the night, and was woken up by her friend, telling her she would be late to class.

Tori put on her makeup and finishing getting dress as quickly as possible, waited for Cat to give Robbie a goodbye kiss, and rushed out with her. "Today's the big day right?" Jade asked, catching up with them on the way.

"Don't even mention it." Tori told her, making her best efforts to forget about her meeting with stranger until... Until she was putting on her 'Carried Away' shirt, and had no other choice. "How was the family dinner with Andre's grandma?"

Jade rolled her eyes, as they got inside the auditorium. "A dread." They each went to their places as Helen began to speak.

It was a standard class, Helen gave them some vocal exercises and in the end called the students who seemed to be either drunk, or hungover to the front, for them to perform 'Alicia Keys' 'No One', which made most students afternoon rather unpleasant. "I hope my ears don't have to go through that next week." Helen announced, going back to her table, as students began to head out.

"Tori, may I have a word."

Beck walked inside his room, and crashed on his bed, exhausted. He hadn't slept more than a few hours during the night, and right after Tori left Moose came back, forcing him to go for a run, since he needed to vent about his fear of commitment. So, his day so far had been very productive, he had come to the conclusion that he was embarrassingly out of shape, and that being hit on the head by empty beer cans was better than running for thirty minutes, while listening to Moose in denial of his feelings.

He grabbed a towel, and went in to take a shower, since Moose was still running and doing all of the work Beck hated just by thinking about it.

A few hours later, Beck had his Florence and The Machine shirt on, as he laid in his bed, counting the minutes for his blind date. He had a new goal in his mind: Not fall for the stranger. He wanted to meet her, he needed to put a face on the person who was on the other side even if he ended up being disappointed, which he actually wanted right now. If he ended up disappointed, his life would be a hundred percent easier, things would pretty much stay the way they were, and he had no problem with that.

"Sup dude." Moose said, walking in the room. "I talked to Brook." Beck rolled his eyes, looking over at his friend. "I meeting her parents, and I-" He was cut off by Beck's cellphone, that had never come more in handy.

"Hey!" He heard on the other side of the lining, putting a smile on his face.

"Hi, how was vocals class?"

"It was good." Tori told him, and he ran his fingers through his hair.

"And was it worth leaving me abandoned in bed?" She giggled.

"It actually was."

"Now I'm offended!" She giggled again, and Moose pretended to choke, looking at him. Beck rolled to his side, and stared at the wall, ignoring him.

"But I have my reasons." He waited for her to go on. "Helen got me a meeting with LA Reid! She sent them a video of me, singing a song in her class it was from that band you like, Florence + The Machine... Anyways! They came to the showcase, loved it and want to record a demo with me!"

"No way, that's amazing!" Beck exclaimed, sitting up. "This is so great!"

"I know! You're screening on a Festival, I might start recording my own singles..."

"It's like ever since we met things started to work out." She sighed, lovestruck.

"I love you." She said, and Beck smiled.

"I love you too." They stayed silent for a few seconds, and he sat up, resting his back on the wall. "Do you want to go for some late lunch?"

"I can't, I'm with Helen right now we're meeting with this agency, can you believe it?!" He head a woman's voice talking to her, and he instantly recognized the strong, scary tone of voice, it was her teacher. "I really have to go, Love you!"

She hung up, and Beck threw his phone in his bed, sighing. "Stop!" Moose yelled from the bathroom door, aiming a can in Beck's head. "You're annoying when you're in love."

"What?!" Beck said, revolted. He grabbed the same can he was attacked with, and threw it on his friends direction, but he shut the door before it hit him.

Tori got out of Helen's car, and felt the cold breeze as she walked to her building. It was another beautiful California night, and she couldn't be happier. The meeting had gone incredibly perfect, and everything worked out, she would be out of college, and recording her first single in a few weeks. She walked inside her room, and was surprised by all of her friends, popping open a cheap champagne bottle.

"Congratulations!" Cat yelled, giving her a hug, and everyone joined. "We're so happy for you!"

"Even Jade!" André completed, and his girlfriend gave her a friendly smile. They drank it up, laughing and randomly singing at times, while Tori got dressed for her 'date'. She went inside the bathroom, put on her Carried Away shirt, and fixed her make-up. Though this time, she wasn't so worried about looking perfect. Going back to her room, she sat down in her bed finished her last glass. "You two and Beck and on a roll." André told her, and she smiled. "He called me tell about his short film, do you believe he's giving me credit for it?"

She glanced over at the her watch, she needed to leave in the next ten minutes if she wanted to be there on time. "Right, you helped him with it!" Tori said, putting on her shoes. "Funny, I never watched the film... What is it about?"

André chuckled, just by thinking about it. He didn't know why, but the dog thing always cracked him up. "It's about a suburban family, only through a Dog's eye-"

"WHAT?" Tori got up, her heart racing, her legs changing. Their friends were held back, looking at her like she was going crazy. "Wh-what did you say?!"

"...He directed a short movie about a dog-"

"Holy shit!" Tori yelled, grabbing her purse, panicking. "I gotta go! I-I... Holy shit!"

Beck slipped on his combat boots, and sat down in his chair. "What were you two and Tori yelling about earlier today?" Moose asked him.

"She booked a meeting with LA Reid, he's one of the biggest producers in the business." Moose nodded, surprised, when Brook walked out of the bathroom.

"And are you excited for tonight?" She asked him, and Beck shrugged.

"If the anonymous even bothers to show up." He said, getting up, and glancing at the clock on the wall. "I should actually head out now, wish me luck." He walked out of his room, looking down at his shirt, that had the name of the band stamped on it, from the concert he went. He sat down in his car, thinking about what Tori had told him earlier.

"She sent them a video of me, singing a song in her class it was from that band you like, Florence + The Machine... "

Suddenly his mind started to connect the dots. The same he had a date with anonymous, Tori showed up in his room, devastated about a 'friend.' A friend who happened to go to the hospital in the same night as Draco. He thought about Tori's taste in music, she never listened to any indie songs, even the most mainstreams ones, she wouldn't be able to sing a word of it, and yet she knew the one song from Noah and The Whale he had told the stranger to listen...

"Holy fuck." He said, shutting his car door, and driving away as fast as he could. He parked the car near Doblers, figuring she would already be there, and ran to it, his mind rushing a thousand miles per hour. He wanted to be right, he had to be right. She had to be the anonymous, it made perfect sense. He got to the door, and lost his breath when spotted her in the bar, in a Sex and The City shirt.

He walked in.

The End.
