I don't own Victirous just this idea

"Is that macaroni," Derek said trying to have a friendly conversation with Tori.

"Who cares!"

"I'm just asking. Geez you're in a mood"

"Well after the way you acted in Lane's office," Tori snapped, "Does that surprise you?"
Lane happened to be in the theater as well and he spoke up.

"Now Tori you don't have to take your aggression out on Derek"

Tori took a breath trying to control her anger.

"Lane," she said, "I have said this before and I will say it again. I don't know how Jade got her black eye but I did NOT hit her.

"I am more then willing to take the blame for something I DID DO but I will not take the blame for something I did not do and I'll take this one step further. If a person really does have aggression issues punishing them is not going to help. It is just going to make them more ticked off leading them to be more aggressive and as someone who is trained in psychological understanding you should be aware of that. Am I angry? Damn straight I am.

"My best friend didn't even believe what I said. Do you have any idea how hurtful that is? Can you imagine how it feels to be telling the truth and to have your best friend doubt you?"

Andre was passing by the theater and overheard. He walked in with Beck.

"Tori," he said, "I saw what I saw. I'm sure it was an accident but-"

"Yeah I would agree it was probably an accident," Lane said and Beck muttered his agreement.

"If you're sure it was an accident," Tori asked Beck, Andre and Lane, "Then why did you act the way you did"

They had all been in agreement.

There was murmuring and the guys looked down actually ashamed of the way they'd been treating their friend.

"That's a good question," Beck said

"I agree," Lane replied

"Uh-huh," Andre said

"Thanks," Tori said, "now can you answer it!"

"Honestly," Beck said, "I can't because I don't have an answer. I'm really ashamed of the fact that I've been such a rotten apple of a friend."

"So you're-"

"Sorry"

Andre and Lane nodded in agreement.

((3 days later))

Lane called Tori into his office.

"This is for you," he said handing her a check for $500.

"WOW NICE," she exclaimed, "What's that for?"

"$250 was for cleaning up the theater," Lane explained, "$250 was for the two weeks. I can't undo the past but I wanted to atone for it."

"TOTALLY FORGIVEN," Tori said running out excitedly
