The next day, Tori saw Jade sitting by herself at lunch. She walked over and sat down with a smile. "Hi Jade! Sooo... How's it going?" Tori asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Why should you care? Shouldn't you be somewhere hanging out with myboyfriend?" Jade said sharply.
"Jade, I'm not rying to take Beck from you. We're just friends." Tori said, slightly irritated.
"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to get between you and your 'best friend'." Jade said sarcastically.
"That's it, Jade. I've tried to be nice to you since this whole thing started, but you're just being stubborn and... and... you get the point! So just stop. Now I can see why you and Beck broke up." Tori practically shouted.
That got Jade's attention. Tori slapped her hand over her mouth like she said something she wasn't supposed to. "What...?" Jade said slowly.
Tori couldn't think of anything to save her.
"We did not break up, K? We just had a fight. We always have fights. It's no big deal!" Jade was getting mad.
"... I think you might want to talk to Beck then." Tori said, as she got up and took her tray to her usual table. Jade looked down at the table. She didn't feel hungry anymore. She decided to just let the tears out.
...
Tori and Beck stood at Tori's locker talking the next morning. "Sorry you had to get sucked into this whole thing. You know how Jade is..." Beck said, smiling sympathetically.
"It's okay. I'm sure she's very upse-" Tori began, but stopped when the doors on the opposite side of the hall slammed open. There stood Jade, looking as if she was about to destroy a city.
"Hey Vega. I wanna talk to you. NOW." Jade demanded.
Tori looked at Beck, who shrugged as if to say 'I have no idea'. Tori walked over to Jade who was giving her a death glare. "Um, hi Jade?" Tori said, confused.
"You've really done it now, you know that?" Jade said.
Tori didn't know what to say. Everyone in the hall was watching them now. "What?" Tori said.
"You will never take Beck from me!" Jade said, pushing Tori hard. Tori stumbled backwards, quickly catching herself.
"Hey, what's going on?!" Beck said, rushing up to Tori.
Tori turned to face Beck. "Do you know what her problem is?" Tori asked Beck, pointing back to Jade.
That did it. That set Jade off. Jade punched the back of Tori's head so hard it made her hand hurt. Tori turned towards Jade, a look of pure terror on her face. All of a sudden, Tori grabbed her head and shrieked in pain. Then she collapsed. "Tori!" Beck shouted, dropping down beside her.
Everyone in the hallway crowded around them. "Is she breathing?" "She's not moving!" "Is she dead?!" The whole hallway was buzzing by now.
Beck felt Tori's wrist for a pulse. "Her pulse is slowing down, someone call an ambulance!" Beck yelled. Beck held Tori's hand. "Hang in there Tori... Don't let go." Beck whispered, tears in his eyes.
"The ambulance is here!" someone shouted.
Two uniformed men came in with a stretcher and put an oxygen mask on her. "Are you with her?" one of the men asked Beck.
"Yes." was all Beck said.
"Then you can ride with us." The man followed the other out the door with the stretcher.
Beck walked after them, but stopped short. "Hey, where's Jade?" he said. But he gave up quickly and followed out to the ambulance. But Jade was no where to be found.
