A/N: Ok this is the second chapter and I have decided that I will write one chapter in the present and one in the past, like to slowly reveal things and to not over describe things and to not leave anything out. I hope you like it and don't forget to review.
Chapter 2
Back to the present day, Hollywood Arts.
"Jade come on, we can't do it at my house, it's being fumigated, Beck's RV is too small, André's grandma is crazy and Cat's parents are out of town, so we have to do it at your house"
"Forget it Vega, never going to happen" we had to do this project for Sikowitz's class and it was due tomorrow, I knew there was no choice but to do it in my house, but I was trying to procrastinate as much as possible.
"Come on, babe, we have no other choice" Beck nudged me gently and I gave up.
"Fine, but we do the project and you leave" I told them and walked away, I knew Tori and Robbie were dying to see where I lived, André had been there many timed ever since we were kids, Cat slept there more often than not, the same goes for Beck, but I had never really wanted to invite Robbie or Tori, I knew they were going to be shocked. They probably thought I lived next to ex cons, not in a huge mansion filled with expensive stuff and parents that loved me. People thought that I wore black because it bothered my parents, and that they neglected me, they had no idea how far from the truth they were. Both my parents loved me very much, and they supported my career and clothing style.
The last bell rang signaling the end of the day and the gang and I met up front.
"So, how are we going to do this?" Tori asked "I don't really know where you live"
André chuckled and Beck answered for me "Jade, Cat and I will ride in my car, you, André and Robbie can go with André, he knows how to get there"
"You've been to Jade's house?" Tori whisper/asked André; he smiled remembering the good old days when he, Cat and I used to be inseparable and responded, "You have no idea".
The look on Tori's face when we got to my house was priceless; she stared in awe at the huge house, it was actually very big, not at all what anyone who didn't know me very well, would have thought I lived.
"Well, Vega, you could stand there drooling for the rest of the evening, or you could come inside and start working on the project" I said with a smirk heading towards the door, Beck trailing behind me.
"You really live here?" she asked. 'No, I brought you to a total stranger's house so we could work on the project' I thought "Yes", I answered instead.
We went inside and my mother greeted us. "Hey André, long time, no see" she turned to André, "Well, I have been very busy lately".
We ate in silence and I lead them up to my room, but I stopped just in front of my door, I turned to Robbie and Tori. "You two will never mention this to anyone" I glared at them, they both looked and me frightened and nodded, Cat, André and Beck just chuckled.
I opened the door, my once pink walls were now painted a pearlish white, my bed now had black covers. The stuffed animals were replaced with pictures of Beck and I, some with André and many with Cat.
Next to my bed was a wooden desk with my laptop and some other stuff, I had a small piano on the left corner, a few guitars hanging of the walls, and my violin and cello nest to each other on the right corner.
"Are you sure we are in the right room?" Tori asked and I responded with a glare, she immediately shut up and sat on the bed.
"Do you play all these instruments?" Robbie asked, I nodded and sat on the bed as well.
We silently worked on our project for the rest of the evening, pitching in a few ideas every now and then. We were about midway through our project when Tori decided to tell us that she had forgotten her jacket at school and that she was cold.
"Will you please lend me one of your jackets, Cat's is too small, and I am freezing cold" she was practically begging me.
I was really concentrating on my share of the work and her chattering teeth were distracting me, so o told her to grab one from my closet.
"Do you have anything that isn't black, or stained with something which looks suspiciously a lot like blood?" She asked, God she was whiny.
"Ugh, I don't know check in the other closet" I kept all the clothes my mum bought me, but I didn't want in there. I forgot about the one thing I had stashed there when I was a kid, hoping very much to forget about it.
Tori stepped into the closet and grabbed a light blue jacket, but in the process she knocked over something I was sure I never wanted to see again.
"Jade, what's this?" I groaned and looked up to the piece of paper in her hand, Cat immediately recognizing it took a sharp intake of breath.
The room went quiet and all eyes were on me, I didn't know what to say. I stood up took it from her hand, I threw it back in the closet and pretended it never happened, I went back to work but the tension was still in the atmosphere, no dared to say a word.
We finished our work and Cat headed over to her house, it was just a block away. André drove Tori and Robbie home, but Beck stayed a little like always, I knew I would have to tell him the truth sooner or later, I was hoping for later though.
A/N: lol, Don't worry I will reveal what she is hiding next chapter. Currently I am in semestral exams and I don't have much time to write specially if I am failing biology, but i will try to update as soon as possible. Don't forget to review.
