Cat walked down the halls of Hollywood Arts feeling very sad. A week ago her little brother had killed himself and now a few bullies told Cat that Austin was in hell.
"Cat," Tori said coming up to her, "Cat what's wrong?"
Cat put on a fake happy voice.
"Nothing's wrong," she said.
"Right," Andre remarked, "and I'm white. Come on baby what happened."
Cat burst into tears. Andre hugged her and comforted her for a long time; until she had stopped crying. Tori rubbed her back.
"It's okay Cat," she said, "Just tell us what happened?"
"Well Heather and Mia said that Austin is in hell because he killed himself. It's not fair. He was suffering so much and even..."
Her voice tralled off.
Andre and Tori exchanged a glance.
"Cat," Tori said reassuringly, "Heather and Mia are jerks and idiots. I don't know what their problem is but I assure you that Austin is NOT in hell. He's in heaven and Heather and Mia need a reality check."
Andre nodded.
"Exactly," he said putting an arm around Tori.
"But Austin killed himself," Cat said.
"I don't care what Austin did," Andre said, "Austin is not in hell."
Just then Heather and Mia walked up.
"Hi Cat," Heather said, "Shame your brother's in hell."
"HEY," Tori said, "WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE CAT ALONE?"
"Who are you to tell us what to do," Mia said, "We can do whatever we want."
"Okay clearly you two need a reality check," Tori said.
Heather looked at Andre.
"Do you hear the way she's talking to us," she asked.
"I'm not deaf," Andre replied, "My hearing works just fine."
"So tell her to shut up," Heather said.
"No. I'm not going to do that," Andre replied, "She has every right to give you two a reality check. How dare you say Cat's brother is in hell?"
"He committed suicide," Mia said.
"He was suffereing," Tori responded.
Heather and Mia both laughed.
"Well he's suffering more now," Mia said.
Tori grabbed her and tossed her up against the wall.
"Apologize," she demanded, "Right now."
"Fine," Mia said, "Cat I'm sorry your little brother is the freak that killed himself and is in hell."
Heather laughed.
"HEY," Jade said coming up to them, "DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM?"
"No but the freak's sister does. Her brother is in hell now. He killed himself."
Jade started to respond but Tori handled it.
"Oh that's funny," she said, "Of course it's not nearly as funny as the fact that your brother is in jail."
She said that loudly enough for the whole school to hear it.
Jade laughed.
"You're brother is in jail? I love that one," she said.
"That's not funny," Heather growled.
"Really? Because unlike what you said to Cat your brother actually IS in jail. Cat's brother is in heaven."
"Oh please," Mia said, "You don't know what you're talking about"
"Really? I know that you cheated to get into Hollywood Arts... on the test you had to take and your audition wasn't as good as many people think it was but just because your best friend was one of the judges you got in."
"Shut up"
"I will not shut up," Tori said, "and you both need a reality check."
"Andre wouldn't approve of that," Mia said.
"Andre is fine with that," Andre replied, "Now get lost."
Mia and Heather stamped away.
"Vega that was impressive," Jade said.
"I'm so proud of you Tori," Andre added kissing her.
Tori smiled.
"Thank you," she said, "Cat are you okay?"
"Not yet," Cat said, "But I will be."
