This is the second chapter :D : I don't hate you.
Tori's POV.
"It's because I'M YOUR SISTER!"
Oh my god! I told her! I can't believe I told her! I'm an idiot. Jade's expression was blank and I didn't want to see her reaction. I left the room and made my way out of her house. I ran and didn't look back.
I wasn't supposed to tell her. She already hates me, now she probably wants to kill me. Thank you so much Sikowitz!
I was so deep in thoughts that I didn't notice that I was standing at my house's front door. I entered the empty house and made my way to my room. I was going to face Jade tomorrow. I didn't need more problems to deal with.
Dad and mom are never home. Trina is really annoying. I had to suffer from loneliness all the time. My life wasn't as perfect as everyone thinks. I needed a support from my 'family'…
Where were they when I needed the most? Like that time when I found out that Ryder was using me for a good grade, or when I was going to get kicked out of Hollywood arts? Did they ever help me? No they never did.
I was lying on my bed and I felt the pillow getting wet. I was crying like every night that I spent alone in this lifeless house…
They said my life was perfect. They didn't know a thing…
Jade's POV.
I blinked at the empty room. I was so shocked that I didn't notice that she left. What the hell was she talking about? Sister? I am her sister?! The girl must have lost her mind!
Vega is a bad liar and I can always know it when she is trying to lie but this time I couldn't. Was she telling the truth…?
I heard someone enter the house so I rushed downstairs. My father gave me a weird look before saying anything. "Hello Jade. Is something wrong?"
"Do I have a sister?" I asked directly. I didn't want to waste any time. His eyes widened.
"Jade what are you talking about?" He asked me confusedly but I know that he was faking the confusion.
"You know what I'm talking about."
"Maybe you should get some sleep-"
"Answer me dad!" I yelled and our eyes met. He shook his head and walked away. "That's it?! You will just walk away from me?! Is that all you've got?!"
"What am I supposed to say?" He yelled at me and I took a step back. He never yells. He was always calm and I never heard him raise his voice. "I have some work so I'm going to my office. Don't bother me please."
I stood there in shock. He was hiding something. Everyone is hiding something from me and I am going to find out.
The next morning I was at my locker waiting for Vega to come. I saw her walking to her locker but then she stopped when she saw a blonde girl walking in the hallway. I swear I saw a horrified expression on her face.
Vega's hands were shaking and she looked pale. It was probably my imagination. I made my way to her and the bell's ringing stopped me. It was such a perfect timing…
She noticed me and walked away to Sikowitz's class.
Usually I pay attention to his lessons but today I couldn't. I spent the whole time watching her. I had a bad feeling, I didn't know why I had it but I just did. It was bugging me. She looked scared but from what?
She was the first one to leave the classroom when the bell rang. She was at her locker and I took my chance to talk with her.
"Hey Vega." I said and she ignored me. I rolled my eyes and touched her arm. She nearly jumped and pulled away. That wasn't a good sign. I looked into her brown eyes and something was missing in them. "Vega…"
"Please leave me alone." She said with a shaking voice. "Nothing happened yesterday. I said nothing and you heard nothing. Let's go back to the point where you hate me and want me to disappear."
"I don't hate you." I stated. The words came out and I couldn't hold them. There was a slight hope in her eyes and I had enough crashing it. I can't believe what was happening to her. "I never hated you."
"Why?" She asked me with a pained expression. "Why are telling me this? I no longer need false hopes Jade… I had enough." She shook her head and walked away. We had the next class together. What happened to her?
The lunch time came and everyone was sitting at our table except for Vega. I looked around but didn't see her.
"I miss Tori." Cat stated sadly. The red haired girl was my best friend and she was like a child. I hated seeing her sad but I would NEVER admit that. "What's wrong with her Jadey?"
I froze. "Why should I know?"
"It's because she always gets this sad because of something you've done." She stated and I stared at her sheepishly. "You may not see it but everything you say affects her a lot. Your opinions matter to her more than anyone else. Why do you hate her?"
I dropped my fork and stared at my food. I couldn't believe what I just heard. I didn't hate Vega. I didn't hate her. I never did… I was stupid.
I left the table running. Beck was calling after me but I didn't care. I walked in the hallway and I called after her. There was no answer. I checked the bathroom but she wasn't there. There was only one place that I didn't check.
The Janitor's closet.
Tori's POV.
Why is this happening to me?
I sat in the Janitor's closet curled up in a ball. It was hurting me. Everything around me was hurting me. I was crying at first but then it turned into sobbing. No one cared if I skipped a class or two…
Look at you. You are pathetic. You are a scared cat. I thought you were more than that but it turned up that I was wrong.
Open your eyes and see the truth. No one cares about you. Did your sister call to see where you were? I bet she was too busy to notice. What about your mother? I bet she didn't notice how fragile you became.
The peoples are blind. They keep saying that you were perfect but even an ant is better than you. You are so imperfect, you will never be loved.
I sobbed harder as I remembered what I was told. It was true. I was imperfect. I really was. I was nothing.
I heard a knock on the door but I didn't answer.
"Vega? Open the door." I heard a calm voice from behind the door. It was Jade's voice. Why was she looking for me? Oh wait, she came to make my life more miserable.
"Go away!" I tried to yell but my voice came out shaking.
You're worthless.
The words repeated themselves in my head and I noticed the door open. How did she… how did she open it? I started to panic more than before. I stood and leaned against the wall. Blue eyes were looking at me, forcing their way through my soul. I looked away.
Jade leaned against the door and I knew that she was still looking at me. "What do you want?" I asked her and I was surprised that I managed to talk so calmly. She took a step forward and I wrapped my arms around myself.
"Why were you crying?" She asked. I ignored her and my eyes were fixed on the floor. "Vega answer me." She snapped and I flinched.
"Why do you care?" I looked at her after I asked. "You hate me, remember?" I shouted and I noticed that she froze.
"Vega I told you I didn't hate you."
"Oh yeah? The way you treated me all this time proved it!" I shouted again. "What did I ever do to you?! I never hurt anyone and I ended up being hurt! Why…?" I yelled at her and tried to open the door but she grabbed my wrist and stopped me.
"I don't hate you Vega…" She stated calmly. "You had everything. Everything about you is perfect. I was jealous and scared. I never hated you."
"What do you know about me Jade?" I asked her and shook my head. "My life isn't perfect. I'm not perfect! I'm far from being perfect! You don't know a thing!"
Her hand touched my arm and I backed away with a pained expression. She noticed it. Her eyes widened and she took my wrist. Oh my god…
Jade's POV
I can't believe what I saw when I pulled her sleeves. Cuts were everywhere. I looked at her and I saw a look of fear on her face. "Why?"
"I…" She started but couldn't finish her sentence. She put her hand on her waist and looked at me. I took her shirt's bottom and pulled it a little and then I saw it.
There were bruises everywhere on her waist. I stared at them but it seemed like the silence made Vega uncomfortable so I managed to get my voice back."What caused these?"
"I… I…" She broke into tears and I took her hand afraid that if I touch any other part afraid I will hurt her. "I was being bullied…"
"WHAT?" I yelled which scared her. I tried to calm myself but that was harder than I thought. "Who did this to you? Tell me."
"No. Please…" She begged and covered her mouth as she cried.
"I must know!" She shook her head and I sighed. I couldn't force her into telling me, not in her current state. "For how long?"
"Two months."
"WHAT?!"
"COULD YOU PLEASE STOP YELLING?!" She yelled back and I stopped.
"Yeah, right." I said and we stayed silent for a few minutes. "Did you tell anyone about this?"
"No."
"What are you going to do?" I asked her.
"I don't know."
"You were cutting because of what was happening to you?" I asked her and she nodded.
Something came over me as I saw her so broken. I stepped forward slowly and wrapped my arms around her carefully. She tensed at first but relaxed quickly.
"Is there something wrong with me Jade?" She asked. "Am I worthless?"
I pulled my head and I looked into her eyes, still having her in my arms. "Why would you say that? Nothing is wrong with you and you are not worthless!" I told her. "Don't you ever think that way."
"They said I was ugly too and talentless. They said I didn't deserve anything good." She stated and rested her head on my shoulder. "And that my smile made them feel disgusted and that my laugh was a torture."
"Well don't believe them because that's the opposite." I said and I was sure that she was smiling. I can't believe what I was going to say but at least we were alone. "I love your smile and your laugh."
"Really?"
"Yeah. But never speak of it ok?"
"And if I did?" She challenged me.
"You will be tickled."
"But I'm bruised!"
"Exactly."
She chuckled and I held her a little stronger than before, I ran my hand through her hear which seemed to calm her. She was shaking and I felt protective of her. Holding her was like holding a baby. I wanted to held her strongly and protect her but at the same time I was scared I will crush her.
I never noticed how fragile her body was until I held her like this. I hated that.
"You won't hurt me, right?" She asked me and the question took me off guard. Of course she thought I'd hurt her. I made her think that I hated her. "Never." I said and kissed her forehead. At that moment it wasn't important to know if she was truly my sister or not. The only thing that mattered is that I wanted to protect her.
"I'll protect you Tori."
She pulled away and looked at me wide-eyed. "You called me Tori!" She grinned and I rolled my eyes.
"THAT was the only part you heard Vega?" I groaned and she poked my arm.
"You called me Tori! You called me Tori!"
"How old are you? Twelve?" I shook my head and took her hand when we left the closet. "I want you to stay by my side from now on okay?"
I noticed a boy staring at us so I gave him a deadly glare and he left running. I won't blame him for staring because Jade West was holding Tori Vega's hand and talking with her like a normal person. I let go of her hand and followed her to her locker where our friends were waiting.
I watched Vega for the whole day. I was thinking about giving her a ride because I didn't trust Trina but a call stopped me. I answered my phone. "Hey Dad."
"Hey, Jade. We need to talk. There is something you must know."
"I'm on my way."
"Hey Vega!" I called for her and she stopped walking towards he sister's car. "Tell that talentless sister of yours that if she causes a car accident I will kill her in the hospital! I can't trust her to drive you."
She smiled and hugged me. I hated being touched but since its Vega I will try to get used to it. "Aww Jadey loves me!"
"Don't call me Jadey! I have a reputation!" I yelled but it didn't affect her. I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Stop acting like a five years old and go home Vega."
She pulled away smiling and walked to the car. I drove home thinking about what my father would tell me. I didn't want to see him yelling like he did yesterday. I opened the door and saw him sitting on the sofa.
"Hey." I said and he looked at me. He mentioned for me to sit and that's what I did.
"Jade do you remember what you asked me last night?" He asked and I nodded slowly. "The girl who helped you with your play long time ago, Tori Vega… is your sister, your half-sister."
What? It was true then…
"Why didn't you tell me before…?"
"I was afraid that will affect you, besides, her step-father David Vega wasn't happy with the idea of telling you both. He said that if Tori knew the truth that would ruin his family." He explained and his words repeated themselves in my head. "Her mother told her after her second day at Hollywood Arts. She said that she deserved the truth and I was afraid that if she told you things will never be the same. Tori promised me that she won't, but it seems that she ended up breaking her promise."
I stared at him in shock. I humiliated and insulted my sister for a whole year… such a great timing you have Dad…
I ran upstairs and threw myself on the bed trying to understand what I have been told…
I hope you liked it :) Please review!
