Vega Residence, 5:30pm
-AHHHHHHHHHH DAMN IT! - Jade exploding and throwing her glass against the wall
-JADE PLEASE CALM DOWN! - Tori yelled as the goth girl was out of herself
-WHERE DOES HE LIVE? - she asked
-I don't know... honestly - Tori said
-I swear... I swear that if he did as little as touch a hair on her I'll kill him...
-Jade you better calm down, that's not a good to thing to say and
But Tori was cut off by the look of pain and sadness mixed with rage in Jade's face
-Are you that stupid Vega? Cat is too innocent... if he... he... takes advantage of her... and then dumps her.. do you know how much that will hurt her? Do you?
-I...
-No you don't... I have been protecting Cat from guys like that for the past two years since she came to Hollywood Arts... I... I don't know how she managed to meet him before I noticed... now I understand why she asked me if Beck and I do it...
Tori glared at her.
-And... do you? -she dared to ask
Jade glared at her.
-That's none of your business... - Jade said
-Anyways... Jade... Cat is 16 like you... -Tori said
-She's too innocent, haven't you noticed that? DIDN'T YOU HEARD WHAT I JUST SAID? - Jade replied
Jade sunk on the sofa, she was almost crying...
-I don't want her to be hurt...
-Look... Dany is not a bad guy... I'm sure that... if Cat says No... he'll respect that. - Tori said
-What if she's too scared to say no? What if she thinks that by letting him... him... do it... he'll love her more? - Jade said, her voice breaking
Tori got closer and held Jade's hands just when it began to rain outside.
-We'll have to trust her - she said almost in a whisper.
-God... don't let her be hurt... - Jade said
-I'll get you some tea - Tori said
As minutes passed and the rain intensified, Tori finished preparing the tea, she sat in eerie silence beside her friend who hadn't uttered a word, she kept dialing to Cat's phone only getting her voicemail.
-Voicemail? - Tori said breaking the silence
Jade only closed her eyes and nodded.
-Drink the tea... it'll
Tori was cut off by Trina coming downstairs
-Can you believe it? Someone has been crying on the lawn under this rain for over an hour.. pathetic... - the elder Vega said as she helped herself to the fridge.
Jade's eyes opened wide
-Cat?
-I don't think so... she had brown hair... - Trina replied
Without a thought Jade got up, she was the only one there who knew about Cat's real hair color, running as fast as she could she ran to the front lawn, Cat was kneeling there, crying as hard as she had ever seen her cry, the red dye from her hair was all over her clothes, washed by all the time she had been under the rain, her hands clutching the box of condoms she had bought earlier on.
-CAT! Cat are you OK? God Cat...
-I... I said I don't want to...
-Come on, let's get you inside... - Jade said helping her up
Upon seeing them Tori was fast to provide them with towels as well as hot tea as Cat was shivering from the cold.
-Cat... what happened? - Jade asked with the softest voice Tori had ever heard her speak with it.
But the red haired girl just kept crying and clutching the box in her hands, trembling, both of fear and cold, Jade took it from her hands, some relief came to her as she saw that it was still sealed.
-Cat... did you and Dany... - Tori said
-Cat answer the question - Jade said
-he... he hates me... I... I... I... I couldn't be a good girlfriend...
-Cat... you're not a bad girlfriend... - Jade softly said
-You... you said that you and Beck do it... that's why you're happy... and he loves you...
Tori just glared at Jade who responded with an icy glare to then turn back to the soft Jade who was tending to Cat
-Listen to me.. Listen to me very carefully Cat... you don't need to have sex to prove your love to anyone... OK?
-Dany said I had to... but I'm scared... I... I said I don't want to and he got mad at me...
Jade hugged her as she started to cry again.
-Why don't you take Cat to the shower while I prepare some clothes? -Tori suggested
Jade nodded and guided Cat upstairs, an hour later, the red-haired girl was sound asleep on Tori's bed, Jade sat on the edge of the bed, holding the box in her hands.
-Jade...
-That bastard tried to hurt her...
-Jade... nothing happened... Cat is safe... I'll talk to Dany and
-NO! I'll talk to him... - Jade interrupted
-Jade please...
-I'm going home. You make sure Cat is fine...
Tori ran after her.
-Jade wait.
-WHAT?
-About you and Beck... I won't say anything... just... be careful OK?
-Thank you Vega. - Jade said
The following morning at Hollywood Arts, Jade was having coffee near her locker as Dany walked in, he started to ask about Cat to the pupils walking around in the hall. Trying to control herself she walked towards him.
-You're looking for Cat?
-Oh yeah, you're her friend right? Jade? - he asked
-Yes... her friend.
-I need to talk to her, do you know where she is? - he inquired
-Come with me, I know where she is. -replied Jade
He followed her and she pointed to the janitors closet.
-In there? - Dany said curiously
Jade noded.
He walked in and the moment he was turning around to tell her that the place was empty she felt Jade's hands impact his chest and two seconds later his body was hitting the wall and the floor, he then felt a small box fall on his chest, above him, the kind face Jade had just a second before, was now filled with pain and rage, in her right hand, were her scissors.
-Now, we're going to get things straight about Cat you sick bastard...
