Chapter 1

Tori POV

Jade and I walked down the street, our hands intertwined, and our shoulders pressed together. We'd been together for nearly a year now and it was going great. Our anniversary was coming up and we were planning on throwing a party. We just felt like we needed to, most of our friends and family didn't think we'd last this long.

I looked over at Jade and smiled. She was dressed in a black shirt with a skull on it, also wearing a skull necklace, and a matching skirt with pants underneath. She had somehow managed to get me into a similar outfit, a black shirt and black pants with tears at the knee. I didn't match her boots though, but only because she couldn't find some in my size.

She saw me smiling at her and asked, "What's got you smiling?"

I shrugged softly and leaned my head against her shoulder, "I don't know. You."
"What'd I do?"

"Just being you."
"You're so weird sometimes." She said, rolling her eyes at me.

"You love it." I said.

"That doesn't mean your not weird." Jade fought a smile.

"So, about our party in two weeks." I said, nudging her gently.

Jade raised an eyebrow, "Oh, God, what're you going to ask for now, V."

"I want my cousin Santana to come." I said.

"What?! Hell no!" Jade snapped, as I expected her too.

"Oh, come on! I haven't seen her in a while and she might bring something." I tried to convince her.

"No. I don't like her and you know it Tori!" She stopped walking and stared at me.
"Why don't you like her?"

"She told me I didn't deserve you and you'd dump me the moment you got someone better! Beside that she's a complete bitch." Jade let go off my hand to cross her arms.

"Jade she's family!"

"I don't care. Besides she's in Ohio anyway!"
"Yeah but-" My phone went off and I pulled it out of my pocket. Jade rolled her eyes. "Hello?"
"Tori, I need you to come home." My mom said.

I sighed, "Why? Jade and I are going out to eat."
"Your father broke his leg and Trina's not giving me any kind of help right now. You can go out with Jade later."
"Alright. I'll be there soon." I hung up and pocketed the phone.

"What's going on?"
"Trina isn't helping my mom and my Dad's got a broken leg. She needs me to go help."
"But we had plans!"
"I know babe. I'll make it up to you I promise." I said, giving her a kiss.

"Fine, but we're talking about the party later too."
"Alright."
"I guess I'll go over to Cat's. Love you babe."
"I love you too Jay."

She turned and started walking back the way we came, I sighed and kept walking forward. Stupid Trina, always messing with my plans somehow. Why can't she just grow up and get over herself? I know she's my sister but I really hate her sometimes.

A van passed by me and I could swear that it was too close to the curb. I kept walking, though, choosing to ignore it. I shouldn't have ignored it however. Moments later there was a car door slamming and the sound of shoes pounding against the sidewalk. Before I could turn around a rag was shoved over my nose and mouth and soon everything went black.
