As Tori was walking towards the West residence, she couldn't stop thinking about what is happening to Cat. Yesterday was the third time she covered up for her this month only. She was worried. Cat had been acting differently for quite some time now. Everybody had noticed. But whenever someone tried to talk to her about it, she would simply go back into being her usual self. Jade told her that it's because Cat's parents are arguing all the time. It makes sense. Cat hates when people are arguing around her. Hell, she fainted once when Beck and Jade got her into one of their arguments. She finally arrived at Jade's place. She sighted and knocked on the door, hoping that everything would be fine.

Jade woke up that morning without feeling rested at all. Cat must have had a nightmare or something because trough the night she would start crying or shaking. Jade was worried. She didn't know what to do. Cat wouldn't tell her what exactly happens at her home. After a while Jade stopped asking altogether. She believed that Cat would talk to her about it herself when she felt it was the right time. But seeing her be scared like this made Jade feel both angry and helpless. Angry at the Valentines for putting Cat trough all this, and helpless because there is nothing she can really do to help the little redhead. Right now Cat had her arms wrapped around Jade as she was sleeping peacefully. Jade didn't want to wake her up, but she couldn't stay in bed any longer. She slowly tried to remove Cat's arms from her, but Cat whimpered a second and held on even tighter. Jade hated that she had to do this. After another try, she removed Cat's arms enough so that she could slip out and replace herself with her pillow, which Cat was now hugging for dear life. Jade gave Cat a small kiss on the forehead and went downstairs to get something to drink. A nice morning coffee would do wonders.

Jade then heard the knock. She knew who it was. It was almost a routine by now. Cat comes to Jade. Tori covers for her. The 3 spent the weekend together to take Cat's mind of the situation at home. She walked over to the door and unlocked it. When she opened in she greeted Tori with a genuine smile, something the half Latina still had to get used to.

"Hey." Tori greeted her friend and gave her a quick hug.

"Hey." Jade greeted and hugged back. She was happy to see Tori. That girl had been her rock for quite some time now and Jade knew that she would still be that bitter, angry and scared girl if it hadn't been for Tori.

"You look tired, Jade." Tori said in a worried tone.

"Thanks for kindly saying I look like crap." The Goth answered. Tori simply rolled her eyes. She knew that as long as Jade stayed sarcastic, everything was fine.

"No, I mean you look like you barely slept at all. How is Cat?"

"She is upstairs, still sleeping. She was having a nightmare or something. I heard her whimpering every now and then. She even started shaking at one point." Jade said, her voice being full of sadness. Tori sighed.

"I wish she would tell at least one of us what is going on. I didn't sleep well either. I kept thinking about all this. It's like a big déjà vu to me." Tori said, shaking her head. Jade placed her hand on Tori's shoulder.

"She will. She just needs more time. I know how she feels…"

"I just want to be able to help her before it escalates, you know."

"Trust me, neither do I."

They then heard footsteps coming from upstairs. Cat came down, rubbing her eye and letting out a big yawn. She brightened up when she saw Tori standing there with Jade.

"Tori" she screamed and ran over to the younger Vega, giving her a big hug.

"Hey Cat. Did you sleep well?" Tori asked, although she knew the answer. Cat shook her head.

"No, not really, I had a nightmare. I don't like nightmares. One time I had a nightmare where some little kids ate me. And Robbie didn't help me. And then…", while Cat was continuing her story, Tori got an idea.

"Hey, Cat. Would you like us to have a picnic in the park with the others?"

"Yay! I love picnics." Cat said, jumping up and down from excitement.

Tori rolled her eyes while Jade just shook her head, a little smile forming on her lips.

"Come on, let's go make the sandwiches." Tori said, leading Cat into the kitchen.

While Cat and Jade were making sandwiches and Cat was telling Jade how her hair was the same color like that tomato, Tori texted Robbie, Andre and Beck to meet them in the park at 1 pm. She looked up and saw Cat laugh at Jade who hade a piece of salad in her hair. Jade then took the cereal that was standing on the table and fed Cat with it until she would stop laughing. Tori shook her head at them. They had fun there, in their own way. Tori just wished it would last, but she knew better…
