Sorry for taking so long, but here is the sequel to 'In The End'. This story takes place 6 months after 'In The End', and my 2 OC's, Carlos and Jace make a return throughout. Carlos is still Tori and Trina's cousin, but he doesn't show interest in Jade like he does in 'Unexpected'. Jace is still Beck's cousin, but I don't know about him getting with Cat like my last story. Carlos is not a student at HA, but Jace is. Characters or OOC at times, and it is mainly in Tori's POV.

Eventual Jori, but no other relationships as of yet. All characters are all currently single. There will be parts will Tori and Trina will speak spanish. Not a lot, but I figure they're latina, but they don't speak spanish in the show that much, so I put some in here.

Chapter 1: Searching The Debris.

It's been six months since she left me. She hasn't looked my way since. She won't even sit with us at lunch or anything, and no one can talk to her. She either gets up and walks away, or just glares at them until they walk away. Cat seems to be to only one she lets near her, but she won't talk to her either. Sikowitz tried multiple times to get us to talk during class by doing various Improvs, but she stays silent and looks away. I keep trying to get us to talk, to explain what happened with Ryder all those months ago, but it fails every time. I just want us to talk. Is that so much to ask?

"Good morning class. Who would like to hear about my new play?"

With the majority of the class excited for another one of Sikowitz's play, there's a lot of cheering in the class. Minus Jade and I, of course. We both lose interest in acting or singing. We still do when it's required for class, but that's it.

"I'm glad so many people are interested. Now, this play takes place..."

I don't even bother paying attention. I zone out, knowing he won't ask me to audition or anything.

After he talks about it, he tells everyone that auditions are after school, then tells André, Jade, Beck, and me to go to the stage for Alphabetical Improv. I thought he gave up? Oh, well. Might as well try it. Don't want to fail for the day.

"Before I forget, there's a new student today. His name is Jace Oliver, and I believe he is Beck's cousin?" Sikowitz says, looking to Beck for confirmation, which he receives as a nod from the Canadian. "Good. Jace, you join them."

When he says this, the student mentioned heads to the stage. He's slightly shorter than Beck, good looking, which I guess is a family trait considering the two Oliver's look like the could pass as male models, with short hair. He dresses like his cousin, but his shirt is just a plain t-shirt, not a muscle shirt under a button-down. He's slightly less tanned than his cousin, with light brown eyes, that show his emotions more than his cousin.

"Good. The scene can be whatever you wish. If you get the letter wrong, you're out. Cat, give us a letter."

"G!"

"G. Ok, Beck, you start."

Beck - "Good to see you again, Jace. It's been a while."

Jace - "Hey, it happens when you only come home to visit in the summer usually."

André - "I didn't know Beck had a cousin."

Tori - "Just found out myself. How about you Jade?"

Jade - "Kill me."

Beck - "Let's not talk like that, shall we Jade?"

Jace - "Maybe we should talk about something else."

Tori - "Never mind. It was a worthless attempt anyway. I don't even know why I came up here."

Jade - "I'm out."

Sikowtiz - "Jade. Sit. But don't make it a habit of purposely walking away. Beck, O to you."

As Jade sits in her seat, we all look at Sikowitz because of his comment. We can tell he's talking about more than just the class, but usually he stays out of our personal lives.

Beck - "Obviously we're all confused now. What was that about?"

Jace - "Probably not my place to ask, but why did she ignore you throughout this whole thing?" Jace asked me, looking to Jade at the beginning of his question.

Tori - "I gotta go."

I don't give anyone a second glance, or let Sikowitz stop me as I grab my bag and walk out of class. I thought about going to the Janitor's closet, but everyone would guess that. So I go out to the Asphalt Cafe and go on to the stage and lie down, turning my phone off, hoping no one thinks to go there, and that there are no performances during lunch today.

I don't bother to go to any classes after lunch, I just lay on the stage and cry. The new kid notices Jade's reaction to me, and she doesn't show remorse. Hell, she doesn't show any emotion. She willingly walked out of an acting challenge, something she's never done before, just to get away from me.

At the end of the day, I meet Trina at her car. She's silent the whole way home, which she has been lately. I asked her about it during the first week she did it, and she only responded with "Silence is needed more than words some time." Who know Trina could say something so deep?

When we get home, we see another car parked in our driveway. We don't recognize it, so it's definitely neither of our parents cars, so we figure we might as well just figure it out. I'm still in a bad mood from Sikowitz's class, so I don't really say anything, so we go in with little words between us. Walking in, we see our parents at the kitchen table. talking. There's no one else there, so we go over and sit with them. After a few moments, our mom looks to me with sadness in her eyes, no saying anything while our dad sits in silence with the rest of us. Finally, mom speaks to me.

"Honey, it's been six months. Don't you think it's time you forget about Jade? I know you don't want to hear that, but it's not helping anything by sitting alone and ignoring everything."

"What do you want me to do, mom? She walked away from me. She wanted the relationship to end. Not me. She won't even talk to me. Won't look in my direction or anything."

"That's what happens with most breakups. One side is afraid of looking at the other for fear of what may happen."

"Then how come she didn't act like that with Beck? She still looked at him and spoke to him after their breakup. Even if she didn't say much at first, she got over it. Why am I so different that after six months, she won't acknowledge me? Why?!"

Not waiting for an answer that she can't give, I grab my bag and go to my room, slamming the door and crying again because no one knows what to say to help.

After a few minutes, Trina comes up and knocks on my door, asking if she can come in. I tell her yes, but only because she's the only one in my family who actually tries not to pressure me into talking. She became more silent after Jade and I broke up, I don't know why though. I am grateful for her, I just wish I knew her change when she wasn't like this after my breakups with guys in the past.

"Mom and dad asked me to tell you that they want you to talk to someone. A professional."

"For what? I wouldn't be in this mess if Jade wasn't such a jealous bitch and actually talked to me instead of treating me like I'm not even there anymore. I don't need a 'professional' to talk to. I need to talk to Jade, but she doesn't give a shit."

"I know, baby sis. I want you to try it though. We don't like seeing you like this. I know you're depressed, so don't say you're not. Please? At least think about it."

"I will. Thanks Trina. Can I just be alone now? I don't feel like talking or arguing or anything."

"Kay. You planning on going to school tomorrow?"

"I don't know. I'll let you know later. Hey, did you find out whose car that was outside?"

"Mom said it was a rental. Her car broke down and dad said his is at the police station for some reason, so they rented that until moms car is fixed."

"Kay. See you later Trina. And thanks again for not pushing me to talk or anything."

"De nada, sis. See ya later."

With that, Trina leaves, and I go to lay down. I turn my phone on again, deciding to check if I have any missed calls or messages. I may be in a sour mood, but I still miss not talking to my friends.

Cat and André have called multiple times looking for me, and left a few voice mails each, but I don't listen to them right now. I also have some missed texts from André, Beck, Cat, and Robbie. All asking me where I am and if I'm ok. I respond back to each person saying I'm ok, I just need to be alone. Cat of course asks if she can come over to hang out, but I decline, not wanting to talk to anyone. Everyone else lets it go, remembering the pain on my face when Jade walked out of the Improv scene earlier today.

I sit im bed for a few hours, only leaving to go to the bathroom and when mom calls me for dinner. I don't say anything, just sit in silence. Dad doesn't say anything, though I see the pain in his eyes when I look at him.

After dinner, I go upstairs and get ready for bed. After a quick shower, I get changed and go to bed. I tell Trina I might stay home tomorrow, and she says she'll tell everyone I wasn't feeling well when I woke up and stayed home sick. It'll be the first time I skipped school, but Trina understands I need time away from everyone, especially the goth girl.

I go to bed shortly after, hoping tomorrow is better than today, even if by a little.

I can't guarantee all chapters will be as long as this, but I will try so nothing is missing or crammed in. I don't know how long it'll be until the next update, but I hopefully won't take too long. Feel free to review and give criticism if need be. Thank you for reading.
