A/N: New Story! First off I want to say that the idea for this story came when I saw this: : justicegillies . tumblr (.com) / post / 20361395208 / fake-movie-challenge-title-winter-genre So credit goes to this wonderful person.

I always pictured Liz and Ian playing siblings in one way or another so I thought I try my hand on a story. It's loosely based on the movie poster above but of course it plays in the Victorious universe and I also couldn't stay away from throwing in Jori romance (Like I always do. I'm horrible.)

So here's the introduction. Tell me if I should continue or if I should just leave it at that.

Shattering Glass

He is the most dangerous man she knows.

It doesn't help that he is her brother.

There was a time when she had been so scared of him, that she locked the door to her room whenever he was at home and she would only come out when she knew that someone else was in the house with them. That was the time she found out that her brother was a murderer.

She was 12 at the time. She knew the girl who got killed: Melissa Clark, her babysitter. The girl had been 15 or 16, Jade couldn't really remember her exact age anymore. And, as most girls, Melissa had a crush on Jade's big brother, which really wasn't something unusual. Aiden was a handsome guy, his boyish smile and piercing blue eyes working like a magnet on girls. And even though he never brought a girlfriend home, Aiden loved to flirt and use his charm on girls whenever he could. And he did use it on Melissa. One night, after Jade's parents were back from their dinner and Aiden was back from soccer practice, he offered to walk her home, which she gladly accepted. But less than three nights later an old couple had found her body, lying in her own blood behind a bush, various stab wounds in her chest area. The police immediately knew it was murder and they suspected Jade's brother because according to witnesses, he was the last person Melissa was seen with. And Jade knew that too. There hadn't been enough proof though, so the investigations against him were dropped.

But as much as Jade didn't want to believe it, she knew it was him. She had seen the tiny stains of red on his shirt before he disposed it. For a split second she had seen fear in his eyes when the police officer showed up at their house, before he quickly masked it and acted surprised. Her parents were clueless though. Her mom had been outraged that someone would suspect her son, her baby, to have murdered a young girl. And her father had sat there, shaking his head and asking the officer over and over again how he "dared to pull up the nerve to come here and suspect a perfectly innocent young man".

But he wasn't innocent.

After a while, everyone pretty much forgot about the incident and moved on. Everybody except for Jade. She couldn't look at her brother the same way anymore. She always looked up to him, her entire life, she wanted to be like him, but the possibility that her big brother could be a killer was enough to shatter her view of him. The love and adoration she always felt for him was quickly replaced by disappointment and pure fear. She was so scared of him to the point where she locked her door and refused to stay alone with Aiden. Jade needed her time but eventually, she calmed down and almost forgot about Melissa.

Almost.

Just a year and a half later, shortly after Jade's and Aiden's parents got a divorce, another girl was murdered. They never found her body and she is still believed to be missing but Jade knew that she wasn't alive anymore. Her name was Anna and she had been only one year older than Jade. The girls had met at school and soon befriended each other, apparently much to the dismay of Jade's brother. He didn't like her really much and he made it very clear, always trying to persuade Jade into staying away from her, telling her that she could find a new friend, a better one. Jade's mom always brushed it off when Jade asked her why Aiden was so against Anna, telling her that he was just being her overprotective brother who, after the divorce, was just concerned for his little sister's well being. More than once did he tell Jade that Anna was a bad influence on her, but she didn't listen. Now, thinking back on it, she should have, because then Anna would probably still be alive. She went missing, from one day to the other and up to this day no one ever heard from her. But Jade didn't think it was a coincidence that Aiden seemed to be happier again, almost relieved that Anna wasn't with his little sister anymore. Jade knew she was dead.

And she was sure that Aiden was involved.

After the Anna incident, Jade decided that she would never bring anyone home again. The only person who Jade allowed to come to her house was Caterina Valentine, a bubbly little brunette - now a red head - who could always bring a smile to your face. She and Cat had grown up together and Aiden looked at her like his second little sister. Jade knew he would never do something to her, let alone kill her. Cat was safe and always welcome in their house. So Cat stayed the exception.

Until Beck Oliver stepped into her life.

Jade had tried her hardest not to fall for him. She had tried to avoid him, she had tried to push him away but he kept trying, much to Jade's annoyance. He didn't care about her crude and bitter attitude she had constructed to keep people away from her, to keep them at a certain distance, simply to keep them safe. Beck tried everything to make her let him in.

And he succeeded.

He peeled off the layers of fear, one by one, and made her fall in love with him. And she couldn't stay away from him any longer. She wanted to be with him, every minute of the day because he made her feel safe, he made her feel normal. But she was still scared. She was scared for Beck, scared that he would die if they would keep spending time with each other. So Jade snuck out and started seeing him without telling anyone. Beck had been more than wary, but he didn't question her behavior. Because he was just as smitten with Jade as she was with him.

But Aiden eventually found out about them, although Jade really had no clue as to how he did. He just asked her one afternoon how her boyfriend was and Jade's heart nearly stopped. But strangely, he was extremely okay with Beck and Jade's relationship, which surprised Jade quite a bit. But nevertheless, Jade avoided bringing Beck home, mostly spending all her time with him in his RV. After about a year of dating Beck, Jade finally started to open up to him after they had a horrible fight with each other. After much hesitation from Jade's side and a lot of pushing from Beck, Jade told him about Aiden and why she was the way she was. He was more than shocked and he needed quite some time to let the new found information sink in, understandably so. After the first shock wore off, they talked it through some more, Jade making Beck swear that he wouldn't tell a soul about this. After all, Beck was the only one who knew about Aiden. Not even Cat knew, Jade not wanting to taint clueless Cat's view of her brother. Besides, Jade thought she was far too innocent, too sweet to really grasp the fact that Aiden wasn't the nice person Cat always saw. So Beck swore to secrecy and with Beck finally knowing everything about her, Jade felt a huge burden being lifted off of her shoulders.

Now at 17, Jade isn't really scared of her brother anymore. Maybe because he isn't living at home anymore, but far away, off to college. She became a little more carefree, more relaxed. And after she fell in love with Tori Vega, she didn't think her life could get any better.

It came as a surprise to both girls when they realized they had feelings for each other. Especially since Jade was with Beck. But soon enough Jade found herself falling more and more for Tori and Beck became the guy she used to love. He had been devastated when Jade broke up with him and he felt even worse when he found out that she had left him for Tori. He wasn't mad though. He could see that Jade was happy and that's all he ever wanted. But he couldn't bring himself to act like he was completely okay with Jade's new relationship.

So Beck and Jade avoided each other as much as they could, which was a pretty hard task considering they had mutual friends. But somehow it worked and they managed to get on with each other normally. They didn't talk much anymore which saddened Jade but she knew that this was how Beck was dealing with her and Tori.

After 3 months of dating Tori, Jade finally plucked up the courage and introduced her to her parents. Jade's father hadn't been thrilled by the fact that his daughter was dating a girl (Jade really didn't expect anything else from him though), but he accepted her decision. Her mother on the other hand was hesitant at first but the second she met Tori, all her worries were blown away. She loved Tori and fully supported their relationship from the beginning on.

But now, everything seems to be spinning out of control.

Because he's back.

Jade's past comes back to haunt her, destroying everything that she built up for herself and she feels like a puppet, dancing to her master's tune. It doesn't matter that Aiden loves her. She doesn't know what goes on in his head and that scares her. A lot. But there is one thing she most definitely knows: she needs to protect Tori.

It doesn't matter to what lengths she has to go to.
