Beck smiled as he rolled over to meet Jade's face.
She was sound asleep and he kissed her on the lips and then her forehead.
She suddenly stirred and he knew she was awake now.
Jade groaned and rolled over.
Beck sighed and tried pulling her back to face him again, but she stayed put.
He put his head over her neck and gently lowered it.
Jade sighed, but still tried to go back to sleep.
Beck let out another irritated sigh and rose his head looking at her neck again.
He lowered his hand to her neck and pressed his lips against the soft, smooth skin.
Jade couldn't help but smile, which gave away that she was awake.
"Awake yet?" Beck asked moving away.
"I guess," Jade said and opened her eyes slowly.
Beck looked down at her eyes and smiled.
"You have to get a new girl," he frowned.
Jade nodded. "I told you, I'll find someone."
Beck nodded and kissed her.
He reached out a hand and touched her chin.
He stroked it and Jade's hands found their way out of the blanket and to the ruff of hair on the back of his neck.
They kissed and kissed and then Jade's phone went off.
Beck looked at her confused and she gave him and apologetic look and reached in her bag for her phone.
"Shit, I'm going to be late!" she realized looking at the time.
Beck sighed. "See you after school... I'm not going today, I called in sick." he added with a wink.
Jade rolled her eyes as she put on her clothes and laughed.
"Like I'd go anywhere else," she told him and gave him a quick kiss before she left.
Beck sighed and fell back on his bed.
Jade walked to school and met up with Cat.
"Hey," Cat called after Jade once she spotted her walking through the grass of the school's front lawn.
"Cat!" Jade exclaimed and came running to her best friend.
They hugged and when they pulled away Cat could see that Jade was upset.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Jade sighed. "God, how do you always know?"
Cat giggled.
"Know what?" she asked Jade sarcastically.
"When I'm in a mood, you always find out or just seem to automatically know." Jade told her.
They slowly walked into school Beck called in sick and wasn't teaching that day but Jade still looked around to see if anyone was looking and pulled Cat into the Janitor's closet.
Cat raised her eyebrows at Jade and crossed her arms with a sigh.
She knew something was up; something happened and they both had to do something.
"What is Beck making us do now?" she asked.
Jade sighed. "You know how he killed Trina last week? Well, he wants a new girl."
Cat looked at Jade horrified. "But who? ...And what if they try to run away or back out too?"
"I don't know..." Jade whispered. "Let's go," she added reaching for the door handle .
Cat nodded and they walked through the halls looking for their new girl, otherwise they both may be killed and they really needed all of the money that they earned.
Cat pointed to a lot of pretty girls, but Jade knew that they didn't just have to be pretty to make the cut.
"How about her?" Cat pointed to a red head.
Jade wrinkled her nose at the girl she was pointing at and shook her head.
"Her?" Cat pointed to a very small, goth-looking girl.
Jade looked in the direction that Cat was pointed and shook her head.
"Ugh, why does this have to be so hard?" Jade complained.
Cat sighed. "I hate how hard this has to be. I hate the way Beck treats us and I hate-"
"There!" Jade stopped Cat mid-sentence and mid-thought.
She lifted up her finger and pointed to a tall, thin, dark-haired girl.
Cat giggled and clapped her hands. "She's perfect... God, I'm glad we found someone!"
Jade smiled and they both walked over to the girl.
"Hi, you must be new," Jade smiled and blocked the girl's way to wherever she was headed to.
She ignored her and tried walking around, but Cat stood on the other side of Jade and blocked the way even more.
The girl sighed and hugged her books to her chest nervously and adjusted her bag on her arm.
"Yes," she sighed. "I'm new..."
Jade nodded and looked at the girl from head to toe.
She'd be perfect and she knew that Beck would probably like her.
"What's your name, New Girl?" Jade asked.
"I'm Cat," Cat smiled trying to make the new girl feel a little less nervous and pressured.
"And I'm Jade," Jade told her and waved her hand.
The girl just sighed. "I'm Tori..."
Cat looked at the girl.
She was obviously scared to death.
She gave Tori a welcoming smile and hoped that it would calm her down.
Tori looked back and smiled nervously.
"So, Tori, do you have a job? I know they are pretty hard to find in this town..." Jade asked.
Cat gave her a quick look but looked away.
"No, actually, I don't," Tori told them.
"Want one?" Jade asked.
Tori shook her head.
"Thanks, but no thanks," she stated and walked away.
"Well, you know where to find us!" Cat yelled after her.
Jade looked at Cat with a sigh.
"Who now?" she asked.
Cat smiled. "Her. We just have to wait. Everyone needs money in this town. Remember how desperate I was? Now I'm living in a one room apartment..."
Tori got home from her first day of school and went straight to the kitchen.
She pulled out a bunch of left overs and sighed.
Her mother walked in and stared at her.
"Hungry?" she asked.
Tori shrugged and took a bite of some chicken.
Her mother sighed and grabbed a piece of chicken and joined in with Tori's upset eating moment.
"What's wrong with you mom?" Tori asked.
Her mother hardly ever sighed.
"We… Ugh, I hate to say this, but I have to come right out and tell you." he mom started.
"What is it?" Tori asked a little scared.
"We are out of money," she told her daughter.
Tori's face went stolid.
The two girls she met today, one with bright red hair and the other with dark, long, black hair with blue highlights, came to her mind.
"I could get a job," Tori suggested remembering the girls' offer and words.
"Oh Honey, that would be sweet, but where are you going to find a job around here?" her mother asked.
Tori shrugged. "I don't know but these girls came up to me and offered me a job."
"That was generous of them." her mom thought aloud.
"I told them I would think about it..." Tori lied.
"Well, you should find out if it's a job you'd like and start working as soon as you can. Ugh," he mom kissed her on the head and plopped her chicken bone back on the counter by all of the other ones they'd eaten. "I'm sorry, Hun. I'm going to bed now, goodnight."
Tori nodded and her mother headed downstairs where her room was.
"Don't forget to clean everything up when you're done!" she called back up to Tori.
"Okay, Mom!" Tori called back down to her mother and started cleaning up.
Tomorrow she'd go find those two girls she'd met today, Cat and uh... Jade, she remembered and find out what job it was exactly, but really she didn't even care if it were a strip club!
She needed the money so badly that she didn't even care what she had to do to get it...or so she thought...
