AN: Giving a new multi chapter a shot. I hope everyone who read my recent one shots enjoyed them, and thanks for all the reviews on them. Every chapter name should be lyrics from Demons by Imagine Dragons. Set in Sophomore year shortly after Tori joins the school. Expect a fairly dark story with self harm, but don't worry. Love ends up conquering all. If anyone ever gets so depressed they consider self harm or suicide, please ask for help. I know it can be hard, but people will miss you and the world is a better place with you in it.

Saying Jade West is an unusual person would be an understatement. She was morbid, mean, angsty, self confident, attractive, and the list could go on. Tori had made it her mission to try and stay away from Jade. Andre was a really nice guy and had been splitting his time trying to show her the ropes and still hangout with his friends. Robbie, Cat, and Beck all seemed nice enough, but there was no way Tori could even get near them without Jade practically taking her head off. She just didn't want any of that anymore, she had enough bullying at her old school. Yeah, being ousted as the school lesbian wasn't fun, and the kids at her old school were even less nice.

It was all Trina's fault she had been ousted anyway, but Tori had honestly gotten too tired to pass blame along anymore. Trina's fault, the jerk who Tori had tried to "date" to seem normal who blabbed after Trina told him she was lesbian to try and get him to make out with her, Tori herself for ever coming out to her family in the first place; all that ended up mattering was it was out and there was nothing she could do about it.

…

"Out of my way Vega," Jade pushes past Tori making her drop her books, Tori let out a sigh while picking them up. Jade just couldn't go one damn day without without messing with Tori. Tori walked towards Sikowitz's class with her head down, hoping no one would bother her between here and the classroom. Tori opened the door rushing to a seat in as far back of the class as she could get. Thankfully Jade always sat up front, meaning Tori could blend into the back of the class with the other kids who weren't just quite as talented as the ones who sat up front.

"Today we'll be trying a new exercise," Sikowitz says while climbing in through the window making Tori giggle just a little. Sikowitz's antics could always make her feel a bit better. "I'll be choosing one of you hooligans to lead a little skit. You'll get to choose everyone who will be in it, assign them characters, and you guys try to play out a scene while improving."

"Now," Sikowitz continued while scanning the class. "Jade our little resident hellion, why don't you come up front and setup the scene." Tori tried her best not to groan, she just tried her best to blend in hoping Jade would overlook her.

"Beck," of course Beck would be her first choice. "Cat, Andre, aaaaand Tori." Tori froze up, she could feel her heart racing so fast she wondered how she wasn't having a heart attack. Please god no, she just wanted to have an uneventful day. Tori gulped while standing up and started walking towards the front. She felt like she was walking the green mile. Jade's eyes had a cruel look in them, Tori could only think what she was planning.

"Beck, you're going to be a rich and successful actor, I'll be you're successful actress wife, Andre and Cat are our friends we're going to dinner with. While Tori will be a homeless child begging for money, we couldn't careless about her but she won't stop hounding us as we try to enter our restaurant." Jade finished with a smirk on her face.

"Jade," Beck said while grabbing her to look into her eyes, "you don't have to do this, just let Tori go sit back down while you have a chance." Jade looked at her boyfriend and was obviously irritated. "Sikowitz, please remind everybody I get to set this scene up," Jade looked over to their teacher.

Sikowitz himself looked like he was regretting choosing Jade, "As much as I wish I could go back on my choice now, she's right Beck. AND ACTION" Sikowitz practically yells the last part.

Tori sits down on the ground to lower her height to child size, "Please, sirs, madams, could you spare a bit of change so I could get something to eat?" Tori said in her best child voice she could come up with while looking up at them with big eyes.

Jade scoffs, "No sorry, we don't give out change to talentless beggars." Beck steps up, "Well honey, I think we could spare the poor child a few bucks." Andre reaches into his pocket pretending to take out money, "Yeah, here you go have a fiver." Cat claps and grabs Andre giving him a hug, Tori assumes for being so nice. Jade takes a step towards Tori thought and pushes her down while taking away the pretend money. "No, she isn't worth a single dollar. As a matter of fact let me call the police to take care of this cretin." Jade spits at Tori. Tori can't take it anymore though and jumps up and runs out of the classroom.

…

"JADE!" Beck practically screams. "Why? Just why did you have to do that?" Jade just looks down at her fingers, feigning disinterest. "It was just a scene, I didn't push her down hard enough to hurt her. She obviously doesn't have what it takes to make it here." Beck was done though, this was just too much for him.

"Jade," Beck sighs sounding tired. "I can't take this anymore. Tori has done nothing to deserve this. You've had it in for her to the point of absolute absurdity since she came here while she has only ever been nice to you. We're done, over. And this time I mean it, done. Never again."

Beck walks out of the classroom after that shaking is head, Andre, Cat, and Robbie all follow him. Cat stops when she gets to the door and looks back, "Jade, you went way too far this time. I've never seen Beck this mad at you, and frankly I'm disgusted in you too."

Jade lets out a sigh before taking her seat again. Damnit, why does she always have to push and push. She never meant for things to get this far out of hand. She just targeted Tori for her rubbing on Beck, which she knew Tori never meant it as hitting on him. She just loved to torture people, and Tori had made herself an easy target. Well damnit, looks like she may have to try and make things right.

…

Tori practically ran all the way home from school, she just couldn't anymore. Jade on her own was almost worse than the entirety of her old school put together, and Jade didn't even know her secret. Tori ran up to her room and let out a scream. She pushed over her dresser, pulled all her clothes out of the closet and threw them around her room, punched her mirror shattering it. All before collapsing on her bed and sobbing into the pillow. Why, why, why? Why her? Why couldn't people just leave her alone and let her live her life. Why couldn't Jade just pretend she didn't exist?! Why did Jade hate her so much?

Tori pulled up her sleeve and looked at her scars. She reached under her mattress and pulled out the razor she kept under there. She drew red lines across her arm, adding three new scars to her collection. The only respite she could find was when she hurt herself. After getting most of her anger and frustration out she curled up into a ball on her bed and passed out.

…

Jade had gotten Tori's address from Trina, promising if she gave it to her she'd give her information on what Beck liked girls to wear. She drove to Tori's house in silence thinking of how she was going to handle trying to make things right. After being dumped, told off by Cat, and doing a lot of thinking, even Jade was starting to feel bad for everything she had done. She knew she had gone far before, but this was definitely the worse she had ever been. She had just made it her mission to make Tori quit school, and she honestly didn't even know why. She just had this mean streak in her that she couldn't overcome. Well, to be fair she didn't put much effort into really trying to overcome it either. She had just accepted it as part of herself.

Jade finally arrived, and rang the doorbell a few times. God damnit Tori, just answer the door. After a few more rings Jade busted out her lock picking scissors yeah that's right, bet you've never seen someone pick a lock with scissors. After finally hearing the very gratifying click she opened up Tori's door.

"Tori, you home?" Jade yells into the empty house. "Don't worry I come waving a white flag. I just want to apologize." Still no answer, so she steps inside and closes the door. She looks around as she walks towards the stairs. The house was nice and cozy, pictures of Trina and Tori smiling and having fun were all over. Well, at least little miss Vega had a loving family, more than Jade could say for herself.

"Tori, you up there?" Jade calls as she reaches the stairs. No answer, so she heads up hoping Tori's room will be easy to find, and it was. Outside the first door on the right was a sign that said "Make It Shine", all lit up just like her locker. Bingo. Jade opens the door only to become mortified. Tori's room looked like a war zone. Dresser was turned over, clothes everywhere. A mirror sat off to the side completely shattered. And on the bed Jade saw Tori, and her stomach dropped.

There was blood all over Tori's arm and sleeve, and Tori was unconscious Jade ran forward, "Fuck, fuck, fuck. Tori what did you do?" Jade was practically yelling.

…

Tori hears a voice that is vaguely familiar, but causes her instant terror. She is slowly being pulled out of her sleep by someone talking. "J-Jade? What are you doing here?" Tori asks scared that Jade may have come to just kill her and finish it all off.

Jade didn't even respond, she grabs Tori's arm, being as gentle as she can. She narrows her eyes while studying it. "Did, did I cause all these? Is this because of me?" Tori just stared up at her in shock. "Well, some yeah. Some are much older than when I met you though." Jade just shook her head, Tori noted that it looked like she was trying to process this.

Tori was very unsure of what was happening, why was Jade here and why did she seem concerned? Instead of getting an answer she got a huge surprise, Jade pulled her into her arms and hugged her, which then turned into holding her. "I'm so sorry Tori, I didn't know. I swear I didn't know. I never wanted this." Tori was still very unsure but returned the hug. It felt nice to be hugged, it wasn't something she got a lot. Jade started petting Tori's hair, and something inside Tori just broke. Tori tarted to sob, "Shh, don't worry I'm here. I'm so sorry, shhh."
