This is my new story I might continue depends on you guys…

I don't see why this is even required or relevant but just for those idiots out there I don't, never have, ever will, own Victorious… Ok

Tori's P.O.V:

The walk back home was peaceful I actually had time to think. The state had collected enough information to say I was emotionally unstable; they wanted me to attend mandatory therapy session, with the new clinical social worker they had assigned me this morning. If having the state already in business at home was bad enough… to have them in my business at school my place; the only safe place I had. Well let's say it would probably not sit right with my parents. I was a block away from the house when I notice a boy standing across the street staring at me, just when I was about to say something smart he disappeared into the woods.

'Hey mom, dad I'm home' I shout putting my bag near the coat closet. I walked over to the kitchen grabbing a pear and shedding my shoes somewhere along the way. I never got an answer which is weird considering we have the social workers coming over in an hour or so. I go upstairs and grab my laptop and headphones when I notice a note on the grand piano in the foyer.

Dear Tor Bear,

Your Father and I decided to go on a little get away we will be back soon in the next few weeks or so but until then we need you to hold down the fort. We understand that you have a new clinical social worker at school and thinks it's a great opportunity. Remember your father and I care deeply about you and we want you to be safe. We will call and check up on you once we board. Be safe my little love bug…

Sincerely, Holly (Mom)

Its funny how her letters made it seem like they cared but what little game was she trying to play, why was she trying to get to me. She hasn't called me love bug or Tor Bear in over three years, that's when it started the beatings, the hatred I remember Trina and Gavin trying to protect me and help me through it. They would tell me stories on when they were thirteen the beatings started to get worst and the words they said tore them down. I remember when Gavin hit my dad back and he ended up in the hospital the nurse said he was lucky. I remember all the bad things but never the good.

I threw the letter across the room and called Cat she said she was on her way. Cat has been there from the beginning when I was struggling she helped me get through. When I lost Gav and Trina she stayed over and watched me cry she held me and told me everything was going to be fine. Cat was the only one that didn't abandon me when I needed her she actually stuck by me when everyone left. I guess that's why she feels the need to make sure I'm ok all the time.

'Tori I'm here' Cat yells from downstairs

'Hey Kitty Cat' I say pulling my best friend into a hug

'So how long this time?' she asks sitting on the couch

'She claims a few weeks but I say a couple of months or so' I say, recalling my parent's last trip. They didn't return home for a whole two and a half months but that was before the disaster.

'So sleep over it is' she says jumping up and down. I used to be just like cat high on the popularity rank, captain of the cheerleading team, happy, bubbly but that girl was long gone no that girl died the day her older brother and sister died.

'Yeah sleep over it is' I say taking her stuff and put it by the stairs

We talked for hours and hours about life, and what we would do after we left high school. I knew specifically what I wanted; I couldn't wait to leave the small comfort of my home to actually be out on my own. My parents had applied for colleges for me but I slipped in some applications to colleges I wanted to go to. My mom claimed she didn't want to lose her baby girl, but we all knew she just didn't want to be the only one left here with my dad. Cat and I knew very well my parents hated each other and it surprised us that they could be gone for so long.

Trina and Gavin used to joke and say that they were both having an affair and the only reason they went away was to fill their pleasure needs. It seemed crazy then but my parents fighting got worst the beatings, the hate, I now suspected they knew what the other did when they were absent. I don't think it's a joke anymore I believe it's my reality.

'So Jade called her and Beck and André will be back at school tomorrow' Cat said snapping me out of my thoughts. When I heard those names everything started spinning and then it went black.

So New characters introduced next chapter If you want me to continue comment and fave and follow and I might post tomorrow… Tell me if I should introduce more characters next chapter or focus on Cat and Tori's relationship as friends and what happened to the gang. This is new based on things I've experienced and what I'm going through now so please no harsh comments just constructive criticism.
