Average Boy – Episode 39
Chapter 39
(Semi Final)
Beck Oliver’s POV
Benedict ran to her and they did some sort of super handshake. Seems they are close friends
Everyone was trying to watch what she would do to me. Even Tessa
She walked to me
Me: Jade
She crossed her arms
Jade: Beck
Me: it’s nice to see you again
Jade: give me your hand
I gave her without hesitation. Tori smiled at me
She walked me to the pool and I quickly removed my phone from my pocket and threw it to Benedict who caught it with ease
Jade threw me in and everyone laughed except her of course
Jade: you crazy horse! Why the heck did you run away!
Me: cause I saw a truck
They laughed. That was a silly answer
Jade: I’m not done with you Beck. I promise I’ll make this week miserable for you
Me: I might take the next flight to New York then. Cause I’m tired of living miserably. I’ve never even been tortured by a witch and I ain’t risking my life to see that this week
We laughed
Andre helped me out
Jade: and who do we have here? Tessa, right?
She stepped forward
Tessa: hello… It’s nice to meet you
Jade didn’t answer
Tori: Jade this is Tessa, my daughter and Tessa this is Jade, my other best friend
Cat: I’m the first…
Tessa smiled at Cat but Jade glared at her
Cat: what? I met Tori before you
Jade: it was just two hours before me
Cat: two hours ain’t no joke
Tori chuckled
Jade: it’s nice to meet you too Tessa
She gave a smile without showing her teeth
Me: I’m going to change. Andre, you’re coming with me

Tori: your room’s the first one on the left. Upstairs
I nodded and Andre and I walked to the house.
I was dripping and a maid would need to trace the water up to clean them. Immediately we entered the room, I grabbed a towel and dried my hair
Me: so what exactly is you and Jade?
Andre: long story man. Long story
Me: I have all the time in the world
He sighed
Andre: well, Jade and I became good friends. Though I had left to Beverly Hills. That’s why I live now. We kept talking and seeing sometimes. Like once in four months. Mostly at Awards or a Celebrity’s birthday party
He paused and looked at me straightway
Andre: she surprised me by asking me out four years ago. She kissed me and said I was automatically her boyfriend.
My eyes widened. Trust Jade to do that
Me: so she fell in love with you
Andre: I wouldn’t say she fell in love with me. She just liked me then and wanted to prove to some rival Alisha Jerold that she could get me. The Alisha had a crush on me. She’s a black girl too
Me: how about now? You guys love each other
Andre: of course we do. I love her and she loves me
I smiled, then something came into my mind
Me: wait man. Are you some sort of celeb now? Because with the things you’ve talked about, you ain’t no ordinary person
He chuckled and sat on the bed
Andre: maybe I’m one of the best love singers who play their own instruments
I laughed and punched him jokingly
Me: I knew it. I knew you’d hit it big!
I was really happy.
I mean. Andre is the most talented kid I knew back then. group. With a breathtaking voice and amazing song writing skills ( More interesting stories available on Topster Stories App)
And a guitar lord? Who wouldn’t hit it big with that much.
And he was really determined and focused.
Me: I’m happy for you
Andre : you’re the only one left now
Me: wait… What of Robbie?
Robbie : dude’s working at Disney now. He’s a cartoonist there in Florida
Me: whoaaah…. And Rex?
Andre: Rex? Ah, that one was taken by some NGO. I don’t really care about that
Me: I’ve missed you guys so much
I pulled out a Jean pants from my luggage and took a red T-shirt.
I changed into them and brushed my hair
Andre: Robbie’s dating Cherry Peterson… Some model
Me: he finally got a girl
Andre: a hot girl
I smiled
Me: is Cat dating someone?
Andre: some British guy
I nodded.
I’m happy for them all
Me: let’s go down
We went downstairs and joined in whatever they were doing
Tessa’s POV
Jade: Tori, I’m spending the night here
Tori: great… I’ll get a room ready
Cat: I’m sorry I won’t be able to stay Tori. I have to get back to London because one of my client has a photoshoot tomorrow afternoon and I need to be there
Tori: it’s okay. I understand
Cat: I’ll be back maybe next week to spend some quality time with Tessa
She looked at me. I smiled. Yeah I’ve fallen in love with her
She even sang with me earlier. She sings so well, I wonder why she preferred fashion to music. Well, fashion suits her. She’s the diva girl
Cat: so I gotta go now. Bye Tessa
Me: bye Cat
She waved at me and walked away with cat steps.
Tori: let me go and see to your room
Jade nodded and sat down.
I hurried upstairs and brought the book
Me: uhm Jade I have something for you
Jade: what is it?
She was looking at her phone
I placed the book on the table before her. She was sitting at the dinning table
She looked at the book
Jade: Ancient Weapons
That was the title of the book. She dropped her and opened it. Read the foreword and opened the first page
Jade: wow… Where did you get this?
Me: I bought it from my History Teacher specially for you
She looked at the picture of a spear from Ancient Chinese
She read out the words under it
Jade: this spear is capable of swaying through the air, ten meters from the holder. It can thrust deep into the body through metal armors.
She opened the next page
Jade: wow. I like it
She looked at me
Jade: thank you
I smiled
Me: you’re welcome
I tried to walk back upstairs
Jade: you know where Benedict is?
Me: yeah, he’s upstairs

Jade: call him and get your jackets. We’re going bowling
I smiled and ran upstairs. I think I just got on her good side
Beck Oliver’s POV
Andre and I are at a restaurant in town. Some special type of restaurant where everyone minds their businesses. I was thinking since he’s now a celeb, they’d all stare
But then he told me that almost everyone in here was one way or another a person of fortune
We’ve been taking just drinks and talking about my life in Mexico. How everything happened
Then he got to my mom’s part
Andre: I went to see your mom sometime ago. About seven years ago
I sighed
Me: how was she then?
Andre: well, she was okay. She was just worried about you. Hell worried
Me: she should be
Andre: I think you should go and see her Beck
Me: I don’t have the nerves yet. I can’t…
Andre: the earlier, the better. You need to see her before anything else. I know what she tried to do was absurd but, she’s still your mother. You don’t have to hate her
Me: no no. I don’t hate her at all. Just that I feel like I’m not ready to face her.
Andre: okay. Just take a little time to compose yourself then you’ll see her
He sipped his drink and I sighed again.
Me: do you know the jail she’s at?
Andre: yeah.
Me: let’s go there now.
Andre: are you sure?
Me: yeah. Let me do it then get it off my mind
We left the restaurant with Andre driving. I was just in thoughts throughout the ride, wondering how she was and what she looked like.
She must have suffered a lot. She never left suffering. She wanted to escape it but landed herself deeper in it.
If only she didn’t make that attempt to kill Tori. Our lives would have been better now
Andre parked outside the building and we got out. We went inside and told the Police Head Officer why we were there. Luckily it was still their visiting hours. So after being scanned in case of any contraband, we were taken to a room with just a big table and chairs.. There was a large glass in the wall and two policemen were standing there.
The room was sound proof. Nothing we would say could be heard outside.
Andre didn’t follow me inside though. He hung around the outside
As I waited, my heart pounded against my chest. I was too eager to see her
Then she walked in with handcuffs. A police man walked her in. Immediately she saw me she froze and stopped walking
The policeman left
Me: mom
Mom: Beck. Oh my God
She was at the verge of tears
She sat down and I placed my hands on the table. She was looking fragile and getting old. Premature wrinkles had formed on her hands and neck
Mom: Beck you came back. I’m so glad you’re okay and alive. I was worried sick all these years they said you disappeared. Beck I’m so sorry for the things I did. I’m so sorry Beck. Please don’t hate me too. You’re the only one I have. Please
She began to cry. I held her hands
Me: I can’t hate you mom. I can’t. I’ve forgiven you for what you did. It wasn’t totally your fault mom
Mom: so you don’t hate me too
I smiled
Me: I rather drink sewage water than to hate you mom
She chuckled as tears rolled down
Mom: I love you my son. I really do
Me: I love you too mom
Mom: and when did you come back?
smiled Me: today
Mom: you came back today and came to see me today? How blessed I am. I don’t deserve this
Me: that’s how much I’ve missed you
She began to cry
Me: hey hey… No crying please
Mom: has Tori forgiven me? I begged Andre to beg her to forgive me years back. But that was the last time I saw him
I didn’t reply
Mom: please. Tell her to forgive me please
Me: I will. She’ll forgive you
Mom : thank you
Me: guess what?
Mom: what?
Me: you’re a grandma
Her eyes widened
Me: Tori was pregnant. She has a son for me. And I adopted a girl years back. You have two grandchildren
Mom: OH my God! Why is God so merciful to me
I rubbed her hands as she cried
Me: I’ll bring them to see you soon
Mom: thank you…
She smiled happily
Mom: I’ve never been happy in ten years. Today is the best day of my life
