A.N. Sorry that this Chapter is short. I'm working on making them longer. I'm welcome to any constructive criticism or suggestions. I know I'm not the best writer but I'm working on it.

Trina POV

I sat with Tori's group of friends. Trying to decide who I was going to leave her with. I don't know why I was putting so much though into it. There's only one person at the table I would trust with my sister, and Tori's going to hate it. Not that she'll know it was me that arranged for it.

"What the hell are you looking at Trina, why are you sitting here anyway. One Vega's bad enough, Is it really fair we have to put up with two. "I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Jade West. Her stare is fierce and I know she observes too much.

"No one cares what you think gank" My voice is typical Trina. I'm so used to it by now sometimes I forget witch me is real.

Beck lets out a long sigh and Tori sends me a sharp look while the rest of the occupants of the table remain oblivious.

Getting up I send Tori a glance that conveys all I need to say. I know she'll come looking for me in a little bit and I have something I need to get done before then. I continue on until I reach my destination.

"Sikowitz!" I shout stomping into the room. The man startles up whipping his head around to me. I can see the annoyance on his face. I don't blame him. I had made his life miserable as of recently. It was for this reason that I did. People always think being a happy genuinely good person is the way to get favors but they always underestimate what people will do to get rid of an annoyance.

"What do you want Trina?" There's a small glint of the confusion that I always see when he looks at me.

"You know those auditions I've been going to lately for your little acting club or whatever" My Trina is on point, just the right mixture of ego and obliviousness.

"There not an acting club there… you know what never mind. Where are you going with this.?" I can see his patience wearing thin. Good, that means I didn't waste all that time for nothing.

"I'll stop going if you do something for me. You see Tori played an aweful prank on me at home. I can't even speak of it. I need to get her back. And we all know how well Jade and Tori get along. If you tell them they have to spend until Friday living at Jades house to prepare for a role I will never burden your little club with my presence again." I can see the wheels in his head turning. Today was Monday

"When would this have to start exactly and what roles will I be asking them to prepare for?" There's uncertainty in his voice. This was pushing it in his crazy assignment category.

"Tell them it's about two girls making their way through life and learning to be there for each other. I'll even have a script ready by Friday to complete the look. You can tell them in class after lunch today and the assignment will start tomorrow as soon as school is out. There both too serious about this school to decline and this will get Tori back good." I could see any hesitance he had fading. It was too good of an offer to decline. She had been causing Sikowitz trouble lately with his little group.

"Alright… But this one time only. I'm not your personal revenge disher" Sikowitz stated before going back to drinking his coconut milk, a clear signal that he was done with this conversation.

A few minutes later I was waiting in the janitors closet knowing Tori would be showing up any second. Not to disappoint Tori walked in a few minutes later. She stood waiting a worried look on her face.

I took a deep breath preparing myself for the conversation coming up, tears already building up in my eyes. "I have to leave for a little bit Tori. I'm Sorry" As hard as I try to keep my voice steady it doesn't work.

The result on Tori is instant. In an second her face goes blank and fear contorts it into an expression few others besides me have ever seen. It's hard and distant, her Jaw was locked into place and a slight furrow of her brow was the only physical features that gave it away. It's her eyes that give it away, vacant and cold.

"Ok, when will you be back" Her words were clipped and to the point. I'm not surprised she doesn't ask why. Tori didn't ask questions.

"Red, I know your pissed, and I'm sorry but I'm pregnant and I need to get it taken care of. You know why you can't come. I've got to go a few states over. And I need a cover for leaving so I'm going to Wyoming. They're having some auditions there throughout the week so that'll be why I'm going officially." My voice is shaking at this point. She approaches slowly before giving me a hug.

"I'm sorry Mercy. It'll be ok, well get through this. Don't even worry about me here. I'll be fine, you just focus on you" Her words were soft a feeble. Stepping back I can see that her eyes are back to how they should always be. That's just how she was. Quick to put it all aside if it makes me feel better.

"Don't worry, I have it all taken care of. You'll see soon enough, now get to class. You don't need to be late." With my words the conversation is over and we part ways. I head to my own class content with the knowledge that my sister would be okay. She will be angry at me but she'll be alright.

I have my reserves though and throughout class I try to stop the feelings from crawling up my throat. I'm taking a risk here. A big one and one that I would much rather not. It'll be fortunate if she talks to me at all before I leave. She'll surely know it was me who did this and she won't be happy with my choice in the least.

I'm right. She ignores my gaze for the rest of the day. Got as far as to be snappy to her friends. Just barely managing to play her Tori right. The ride home is silent and she refuses to acknowledge my presence. Her breaths are harsh and fast with her fists clinched tight. This is more of a reaction than I was expecting from her. It's not until we pull into our drive way that she speaks. Her voice stained with anxiety.

"I know you made him do this. And I know he took it farther than you suggested." Her words are quick like she's about to give me unwelcome news. "He has insisted that I stay at Jade's until Friday starting tomorrow after school. We are to be in the same room together unless were using the bathroom or in a separate class. While in the same room he insists that we hold had as often as possible. He says he'll know if we don't. Says he'll be able to tell by our behavior. Jade's annoyed but insistent on doing it right. She doesn't know it isn't real."

It's then that I understand what it is I've done. Tori had always been an amazing actress. Besides the teachers who saw my audition tape there was only one other person in the school who I've ever noticed noticing. But I know from experience that if your holding her hands you can tell when her reactions are false. See while Tori's eyes are often window to her soul. If you were holding her hands they were windows to her thoughts. She had never been able to control her hands reacting. To the eyes you often couldn't see but when you were holding them any reaction in her head came out through her hands. It was why she always made a point to never hold hands and I had just set her up to do that very thing with the only person who would connect dots.

My breath catches. I should have specified to Sikowitz. Of course he would find a way to mess up an almost perfect plan "Fuck"
