AN: So this is kind of new to me I don't normally reply to the reviews. Although I do appreciate them a lot it is hard for me to come out of my comfort zone and answer people directly.
Scottybgood: I just want to say thank for always commenting it does help when you hear different views from other people.
Midewilloughby: Thank you for being interested. As far as frequency on updates I like having someone read over my work before it is posted just to make sure there are minor errors and it makes sense and right now with our work schedules conflicting it is a little hard. But sometimes when I hit a wave of inspiration or creativity or whatever I end up writing more than one chapter in a day so there might be more than o8ne update a week.
Megameneko:Jade and Beck do in fact live together in this story. It goes with them being best buds and each others wing men.
Thank you everyone for the thanks, favorites and follows!
Chapter 2
"Jadey!" Cat screamed as she jumped into the goths arms surprising her as she caught the flying red head.
"Cat! Don't do that to me. And don't call me that!" Jade yelled scaring people who were passing by. The onlookers were even more confused when the only response the red head showed was to giggle even more making them wonder who was crazier the angry goth or the air headed red head.
"Come on Cat let's get a table before I have to write your obituary." Sam said dragging her into the restaurant.
"Already starting to regret this Oliver." Jade seethed.
"Come on dude. She is just happy to see you outside of your room and you know you love her like a sister." Beck argued.
She was quiet for a little while until she entered the restaurant mumbling "Shut up." under her breath. Beck was shocked by her actions. He was not used to winning this many fights with the stubborn woman. He kind of misses the old Jade. The one who would never admit defeat and argue that the sky was green just for the hell of arguing.
"Tonight is going to be amazing. I was told that Andre's friend Tori is going to be singing. T is really one of the only reasons I want to go tonight. Give it a little while and that girl will be on the top of the charts with hits.' Carly claimed.
"She sings pop songs she can't be that great." Sam argued and Jade had to agree. It isn't that they hated pop music but it definitely wasn't even close to their favorite genre of music. "Plus if she really is that great of a singer how come we never heard of her?"
"WE have heard of her. You and Jade are stuck in the 90's when it comes to music. Only reason you two even know who Justin Bieber is is because you hate him and his fans."
"Hey that is totally justifiable. They act like little demon spawns from hell and that kid acts like a douche a lot of the time." Jade shot back in defense.
"Jadey don't say that! Also if you hate him so much why did I overhear you singing along with Beauty and a beat the other week?" Jades eyes bulged at the fact that she had been caught singing a song by Bieber.
"It is a catchy song. I'm going to go get a drink from the bar. Anyone else want something?" Jade asked.
"You know we are going to a party right after we are done eating right? Free alcohol and you could maybe hold a conversation before you are trashed." Sam tried to reason.
Jade leaned over the table and said softly, "There is only one problem with that. It would mean I have to tolerate people. Something I don't think I am capable of doing." and with that she was gone to get something strong enough to forget where she was.
"What can I get you sweetheart?" The bartender asked. Earning a growl from the raven haired girl.
"I know you are supposed to seem friendly but please don't call me sweetheart. Also I will take a Red Death and a Snake Bite." She ordered.
The bartender started mixing her drinks. "You day going that bad? Also I can get you the drinks but bar rules are you can't have more than one drink at your table so you will have to take your shot here."
"That is fine and yeah my friends decided that today is the day I should rejoin the single world and jump back into the dating pool. I would rather jump off a bridge into a sea of spikes." Jade vented.
The bartender placed her Snake Bite in front of her, "Now that is no way to start your night. I am sure your love life couldn't have been that bad."
She narrowed her eyes and proceeded to tell him about her ex. At the end of the story the bartender grimaced at the thought. "So you might have had one of the worst break ups I have heard of this year but it could always be worse. At least you found out before you ran off and got married or anything that crazy."
"Ain't that the truth. Well thanks for the little pep talk. I am going to go back with my friends before they start to worry. God knows how mad they would be to find out I talked to a bartender before I talked to them about what is bugging me." Jade said her goodbyes and moved back towards her friends. Who were eating their meals. As she looked to her left she noticed half of her fries missing. Her face turning into a scowl as she scans through the others sitting at the table trying to figure out who has been eating her meal. It doesn't take long before her eyes fall on Cat who looks nervous and just as Jade opens her mouth to yell she is dumbstruck by the blonde beside one of her best friends reaching over the table and grabbing another fry grinning up at her. She is speechless this girl really has some damn balls! Jade isn't happy for her friend who seems to be falling for this girl, or sorry because this girl won't be alive much longer.
"So Jade you looking to hook up with someone tonight or just planning on getting shit faced and dealing with the consequences tomorrow? Oh and don't worry about your fries." As Sam said this a waiter walked up with another two orders in her hand placing one beside Jades plate and handing the other to Sam. How the hell does this glutton stay thin when she eats like this? "Also I paid for your meal since I ate most of your original meal. That and Cat made me." The last part came out as a whisper but Jade heard it and she couldn't help but smile at the knowledge at her friend might actually stand a chance with her crush.
"You're lucky Pucket. I'm just not in the mood to hide bodies right now. Wait until I had a few more drinks. Than I should be up to it once again." Jade smirked as she took a large gulp of her alcoholic drink.
"I thought people were supposed to get happy when they drank alcohol." Cat sounded confused as she looked to the others for answers.
Sam was the one to respond. "You see that is where you are normally right. In a NORMAL situation some people get happy others get mad. In Jades case she is happiest when she is mad. And violent."
"So like you?"
"I am happiest when I am eating good food. It is why I like living with you so much. You know how to keep Mama happy." Cat was blushing as Sam said this and Beck decided to save her friend.
"How about we get this show on the road huh? Jade you can eat in the car just ask for a doggy bag or something."
"I hate eating in cars." Jade complained.
"Well then you should have been here eating with us instead of trying to get drunk." Beck shot back.
"My friends are all assholes." She mumbled as she downed the rest of her drink and tried to eat quickly, still leaving half of her meal to waste.
At Andre's the party was just getting started and already the large house was filling up quickly. Rooms were packed with people playing poker, beer pong, smoking weed, just letting loose. Tori was in the VIP section of the house trying to stay away from as many people as possible. She would normally try to mingle with people, especially her fans but tonight. She wanted none of it. After two weeks of partying at Andres she was tired of guys groping her or hitting on her even knowing she was batting for the home team.
She went looking for Andre so she could sing her set and get out of there but was stopped when some brick of a wall moved into her way. "Hey, why does an angel like yourself look so down at a party like this?" he asked moving a stray hair from Tori's face.
"This is the VIP section you know that right? I could have you kicked out of this party for intruding." Tori bit while shoving his hand away from her.
"Not to worry about doll face. I am VIP my father is the VP of the CPM company." Tori was getting even more annoyed as every second passed. If Andre was going to sell out passes to pricks just because they have rich families he was going to have to make a secondary VIP room.
"CPM? They work with child prodigies don't they?" The buff man smirked down at her and nodded. Her next comment wiped his smile away and replaced it with a growl, "How pissed was your dad when he got you then?"
"What the hell did you just say to me?" He growled as he grabbed her arm roughly. Tori went into panic mode and kicked the man in his family jewels and rushing off. Where the hell is Andre? She thought until she caught a glimpse of him ushering a group of people into the same VIP room she was in. Good now I can get this over with and leave, I have already had enough of this night and it's just starting.
"Tor! There you are. You almost ready to go on?" Robbie asks, it looks like he was making last minute preparations for my short show tonight. She nods at him and follows him until she sees that CPM jerk looking around the crowd for her. She starts freaking out trying to think fast. Tori pulls the first lonely girl she sees towards her and start kissing her just as he passes them. She thinks it worked because he keeps moving.
Once Tori feels safe she pulls away from her partner and is surprised when she recognizes her as a member of the group Andre was bringing to the VIP room not to long ago. "I am so sorry about that. I just needed to hide from that guy. You just happened to be the closest hiding spot." Tori explains with a blush.
"So you were just using me?" The girl asks with a glare although her lips give away her playful intentions when the start to form a smile. This intrigued Tori, the goth girl in front of her was gorgeous to say the least and didn't seems to mind her kissing her.
"You could always just consider it an audition. I am Victoria Vega. My friends just call me Tori." Tori explains leaving her hand out to properly meet the new girl.
"It was nice meeting you Vega. If we meet again tonight maybe I will give you an audition of my own." The goth moved around Tori with a smirk.
"I don't even get to know you name?" She called out t her but the raven haired girl was already gone in the crowd.
"Earth to Tori! Come on you have a show to perform." Robbie said coming back and grabbing her wrist dragging her towards the stage.
