Author's Note: Hi guys! Well, here you are, reading the first chapter of the sequel "Best Days of Our Lives". In this chapter: Cat, Tori, and Jade discuss wedding plans, but Jade opens up on her relationship with Beck. They also talk about what they're going to do after graduation and high school. I do not own Victorious, Dan Schneider, or any shows related. Enjoy! :D ©
Cat's floor was covered in bridal magazines as Cat tried to read through them. On her bed, there was many dresses that were longing to be chosen for Cat's graduation. She was squirming around as Jade tried to measure her for the wedding dress she was going to make for Cat.
"Hold still Cat. I'm trying to get your measurements." Jade complained.
Cat giggled as Jade measured her body.
"I'm sorry Jade, but I'm so ticklish." Cat laughed.
Cat threw the magazine onto her bed and gave into Jade. She spread her arms out and stood still while Jade measured her. She tried not to giggle, but gave a few grins to Tori, who was sitting on a chair.
"So, how does it feel to be the only engaged person in our group?" Tori asked.
"Well, I think it's nice. I'm going to get married to the man I love and there's nothing more that I want. I hope that maybe the both of you will get engaged soon." Cat said.
"Ha, I highly doubt seeing me and Beck getting married anytime soon." Jade declared.
Jade finished measuring Cat and put the measuring tape away in her sewing box. She got up from the box to see concerned looks on Cat and Tori.
"What do you mean that by that?" Tori questioned.
Jade rose to her feet and sighed.
"I don't wanna talk about it since it'll ruin the good vibe that's coming from Cat and Robbie's engagement." Jade said.
Cat walked over to Jade and hugged her. She beckoned Tori to hug Jade and they group hugged.
"You know, you can tell us anything. It won't ruin anything, I promise." Cat chirped.
Cat and Tori broke from the embrace and Jade pushed the hair out of her face. She rolled up her sleeves and showed Cat and Tori. Jade's arms were covered in scars, bruises, and scabs. Cat shrieked from the sight of Jade's arms as she saw them.
"Oh wait, there's more." Jade said.
Jade then rolled up her pants and showed the bruises on her legs. Cat had started to cry in anguish as Jade fixed her outfit.
"Who did this to you?" Cat yelled.
"Is it who I think it is?" Tori interrogated.
Jade nodded her head in affirmation. Cat couldn't believe what was going on:
"Jade West, my best friend. The one that never takes nobody's shit and could beat anyone up if she wanted: she is now beaten." Cat thought to herself.
Tori balled up her fists and headed towards the door in anger. Jade ran after Tori and grabbed her arm tightly. She had tried to resist, but given up on trying to go after Beck.
"Tori, it's not worth it, me and Beck aren't together anymore. I ended it last night: no more worries you too. We have a wedding to plan, right?" Jade confirmed.
"When did this happen?!" Tori yelled.
"A month ago. Me and Beck were fighting about something stupid and he took his anger out on me. After he did that, he was like 'I'm so sorry Jade. Please forgive me!' Don't worry you two, me and Beck are over." Jade confessed.
Tori stopped in her tracks and tried to calm herself.
"You're right. We gotta worry about the wedding." Tori said.
"Guys, we're forgetting something. What about graduation?" Cat interrupted.
"Good point, we haven't even thought of graduation. Thank you." Jade commented.
Cat walked over to her bed and sat. She looked through the fog of magazines and found an old yearbook. Cat picked it up, began to look through it and started to smile.
"These memories were great. I'm gonna miss high school so much!" Cat thought.
"Hey guys, come over here! I found a yearbook!" Cat chimed.
Tori and Jade hopped onto her bed and surrounded Cat. They looked through each of the pages, pointing out the different students and teachers in it. They had also looked at most of the pictures from Sikowitz's theater class.
"Hey look, there's the 'Bird Scene'!" Tori called out.
"I remember that! You were so tired from doing it over and over again. Ha ha, that was so much fun!" Cat laughed.
Tori gave her a dirty look and Cat went back to the book.
"Guys? What are we gonna do after high school now? Graduation's in three days." Tori said.
The room became quiet as the girls thought of their future.
"After I'm married to Robbie, would I try to get my education done or will I try to become famous?" Cat thought.
"I don't think I should bother with show business you guys." Cat declared.
"What?! Why not?" Jade said.
"Most of the time, it's very hard for people to make it big in Hollywood. Tori, you have a better chance of making it than I do." Cat complied.
"What are you talking about Cat? You have an amazing voice!" Tori complimented.
"I don't know about that, but I'm thinking realistically here. I'm getting married in two weeks and I'm not gonna make Robbie the only one that makes money in our marriage. It's not fair to him." Cat implied.
"You have a good point, but what are you going to do then?" Jade mentioned.
"I'm thinking of going to college to get a business degree, that way I'll be able to help Robbie with the store. While I'm going to school, I'm going to get a job." Cat remarked.
"And the wedding?" Tori asked.
"We're still going to have the wedding. After I get married, I'm moving into Robbie's new apartment." Cat said.
"Seems as if you have this all planned out." Jade commented.
"Yep!" Cat said eagerly.
Jade got up from the bed and grabbed a notebook from her sewing box. She wrote down Cat's measurements and began to draw a design of the dress. Cat leaned over Jade to see the design and applauded loudly as her reaction.
"Well, what are we waiting for? We gotta plan a wedding!" Cat squealed excitedly.
Jade and Tori got up from the bed and headed for the door. Jade exited the room, but Tori waited for Cat.
"You coming?" Tori called out.
"Yeah, I'll be down there in a sec." Cat answered.
Tori left and went to the living room. Cat got up from her bed, picked up the magazines, and put them in their proper places. She grabbed her purse and left the room. Before Cat went down the stairs, she stopped to take a look around in her mother's apartment.
"I've spent 18 years in this place. Am I ready to say goodbye yet?" Cat thought.
Cat walked past Jack's room and saw how neat it was. Since he left for college, it seemed as if their household was, for once, normal. She entered the living room and began chatting away with Tori and Jade. All three of them went out of the apartment and traveled down the long hallway. They were taking the steps of making the youngest member of the group a married woman.
