It was Trina who ended up driving Tori away from school that day. She was excited that day. Apparently, one of the casting directors she'd called over the weekend wanted her for a part. "It's for a made-for-TV movie. It's called ICryForHelp: The Megan Parker Story."

"Megan Parker?" said Tori. "Wasn't that the girl who was kidnapped by a crazy person and was forced to pretend to be his sister?"

"Yeah," said Trina. "I play the waitress who recognized her from the news and called the police. This is my first role and I play the lead. Not too bad."

Tori raised an eyebrow. "Trina, I don't think that counts as the lead-"

"I've already memorized my line," said Trina. "Hello police, I just saw your missing girl. What do you think? Does it give you chills?"

"Sure," said Tori. "You're going to blow everyone away."

"I know," said Trina.

Trina drove Tori straight to the dentist's office. Fortunately he had an opening in his schedule and was able to see Tori right away. He prescribed her some antibiotics and reminded her to do the salt rinses. "This should be a lesson to you that it's important to take care of yourself."

"Yeah," said Tori. "I know. I'll make sure to do the salt rinses."

"You can do it whenever you need a break from texting." The dentist laughed at this joke, sounding like an asthmatic donkey. Tori let out a little laugh to be polite, but couldn't stand his voice. While Tori found him annoying, he was right. It was stupid of her not to take care of herself. What made it worse was the reason why. Had she not been so focused on that video, this wouldn't have happened. Tori knew that if Jade found out about this, she wouldn't hear the end of it. After her appointment, Trina drove her home. Once home, Trina went upstairs to her room. Presumably, she was preparing for her new role.

Tori first went to the bathroom and did a salt rinse. Once she was done, she went to her room and laid down on her bed. She'd wanted to take a nap, but it wasn't long before she heard a car pull up in the drive way. She got out of bed and headed downstairs to see her mother walking through the front door. She turned to look at her daughter. "Tori, how are you doing? Trina called me to tell me what happened."

"I'm fine," said Tori. "We went to the dentist after school."

"What'd he say?" said Tori's mom.

"He gave me a prescription for some antibiotics," said Tori.

"Did you take any yet?" said Tori's mom.

Tori looked at her feet. "Not yet. Um, Trina said she would get it from the pharmacy, but-"

"But she hasn't," said Tori's mom. "We shouldn't have put her in charge of you."

"Don't beat yourself up too much," said Tori. "You did have those tickets."

"Do you have the prescription?" said Tori's mom.

"Yeah." Tori reached into her pocket and pulled out the dentist's note. She handed it to her mother.

"Okay, I'll go to the pharmacy and pick it up," said Tori's mom. "It shouldn't take too long. In the meantime, try to get some rest."

"I'll try." Tori's mom left the house and Tori sat down on the couch. She rested her head on a pillow and closed her eyes. Maybe this time she'd be able to get some sleep. However, not long after her mother left, Tori heard a knock on the door. She got off the couch to answer it. "How long were you at the pharmacy?"

Tori opened the door to see that it wasn't her mother who knocked. It was Beck. He was standing in front of the door, along with Jade and Andre. "Hey Tori."

"Hey guys," said Tori. "I didn't expect you guys to stop by."

"Yeah, well we figured we'd check in on you and see if you were alright," said Beck.

"We also got your homework," said Andre.

"Well I'm doing fine," said Tori. "I just got back from the dentist and they prescribed me some antibiotics. I should be good."

"See," said Jade. "She's fine. We can go."

"Are you sure you don't need anything?" said Beck.

"We got that science project to work on," said Jade. "Remember?"

"Thanks for the offer, but I don't really need anything," said Tori. "My mom just went to the pharmacy to get my medication."

Beck turned to Jade. "We're done with the science project."

"It doesn't hurt to double check to make sure everything's fine," said Jade.

"That'll take what? Five minutes?" said Beck. "We can stay with Tori for a bit."

Tori could see that Jade was clearly uncomfortable. Her face was starting to turn red and her right hand was turning into a fist. "She said she doesn't need us."

"We can always hang out for a while," said Beck. "You know, keep her company."

"Yeah," said Andre. "I mean, she probably doesn't want to be alone with Trina."

Jade shot Andre a dirty look. "Does she really need us around?"

"Why wouldn't she?" said Beck.

"She looks tired," said Jade, pointing to Tori. "She probably wants to take a nap, right? She doesn't need us keeping her up."

At this moment, a lightbulb turned on in Tori's head. She knew how she'd get back at Jade. "Actually, I just took a nap and I'm feeling fine."

"So we can hang with you?" said Beck.

"Sure," said Tori. "Come on in you guys."

"Thanks," said Beck as he walked into the Vega household.

"No, thank you," said Tori. "It was getting boring with just me and Trina here."

"Anything for Tori," said Jade, looking like she was going to strangle Tori. Tori smiled.

A/N: Sorry this was a bit short, but I'm having a bit of writer's block. Don't worry, I should be able to continue the story soon. In the meantime, hope you enjoy the update.
