Unfortunately, my challenge to you guys wasn't met. It was close, but no cigar. I do appreciate all those who reviewed thus far. I like hearing what you think. Enough of my babbling, so here is chapter three. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: If you didn't know by now, I don't own Victorious. I know, it's sad.

I couldn't believe what I saw. I was nice. I even complimented her overly bright clothes. They weren't horrible, but I wouldn't be caught dead in them. She dyed my hair. I looked at it and truthfully, I liked it. Oh yeah. I'm forgetting one little detail. I kissed Cat! What the hell was I thinking? I was drunk, but still. I'm not even sure what she thinks it was. Now that I think about it, I can still taste pancakes.

"Um, Cat?" She looked up at me. "I'm sorry about kissing you." Strange sentence, but something has to be said.

"Oh... It's all right. You were drinking and it...it wasn't horrible." her voice was quiet as she blushed. "I thought I was going to get drunk from the kiss." she said, lifting the tension.

"I can't believe I drank that much." I sighed. "Never again. Hangovers suck." I sat on the edge of the bed and held my head. The water helped a lot, but the pain was still lingering.

"What's it like?" she asked.

"What's what like? Being drunk or hangovers?" I asked. She wasn't clear enough.

"Both."

"I hardly ever remember things when I drink. It seems I'm nice and funny though. I always thought I was even more horrible when drunk." my self loathing was kicking in now. Always after drinking...

"You are not horrible, Jade." Cat told me. It didn't help though.

"Then why did Beck cheat on me? I'm not nice, most things I do I end up regretting, and I take joy in watching others get humiliated. Why didn't he just leave me. Maybe it would have hurt less..." I was beginning to feel sorry for myself.

"You're too good for him. What he did is unforgivable. You deserve someone who will treat you like a princess."

"He was so nice though. How could he do this?" Some of the many questions flying through my head at the moment.

"If I were Beck I wouldn't cheat on you."

"Thanks... I'm going to take a shower." I hurried to the bathroom and started the water. I was about to cry again and I didn't want anyone to see that. When it was hot enough I stripped off my clothes and got in. I sat in the shower, silently crying as the water cascaded over my body.

When I finally stopped crying I began thinking straight again. Fuck Beck! Fuck Tori! They can kill themselves for all I care! Cat is right. I need someone who will treat me like a princess. Not a princess. Something more dangerous and less childish, but it's the same concept. The best part is that I don't have to worry about him trying to change me. He was always trying to make me be nice and kind. If he really loved me then he wouldn't have done that. He'd let me be me.

I stood up and got out. I turned off the shower and dried off. When I was dry I looked around for my clothes. Damn. I forgot to bring the clean clothes in with me. I can't wear these again. They're dirty and reek of alcohol. Whatever. I wrapped the towel around me and grabbed my dirty clothes.

I left the bathroom and went back to Cat's room. She was scratching her nose with her foot when I went in. I didn't know she could do that. Well you learn something new everyday, right? I watched her do it with both feet out of curiosity. Why would she use her feet when her hands are right there? I audibly sigh, trying to figure Cat out is like trying to navigate a giant maze that changes constantly. She stopped after I sighed.

"Hey Jade." she was always so cheerful. "I bet you didn't know I could scratch my nose with my feet."

"Not really. Can you throw me my bag?" I asked.

"Sure." she grabbed my bag and threw it to me. I caught it and opened it, taking out the clean clothes and putting in the dirty ones.

"You don't mind if I change in here do you? I forgot my clothes when I went into the shower."

"Go ahead. I promise I won't look." She covered her eyes and I turned around.

"It's not like you'll see anything you don't have." I said while changing. It took me less than a minute to change. I don't get why girls take so long to get dressed. It's stupid. "I'm done." I turned around and she uncovered her eyes.

"Are you feeling better now? Is your hangover gone?" she asked.

"Yeah." I sat on the bed and layed down to relax.

"What are they like?"

"They are horrible. Pounding headache and sensitivity to light is what I get. I Don't really know what it's like for other people, but it sucks. Don't start drinking, Cat."

"Do you drink because you're sad?" she asked innocently.

"Yes. It helps me forget, for a while that is..." I admitted. "I'm done feeling sad though."

"Are you going to do something to Beck and Tori? I kind of think you should, but I think you shouldn't too. Do you understand?" I could see the mixed feelings Cat was having. I like that she suggested me getting back at them.

"I probably will. You could help." I offered.

She shook her head. "Then I'd feel guilty. I already feel guilty for saying you should. It's not a good feeling."

"Whatever then. If you change your mind just tell me." Damn, I'm starving. "Is there anything to eat?" I asked.

"Yeah. Let's go downstairs." she grabbed my hand and dragged me down to the kitchen. She went over to the stove and started making something. "Just sit down."

"Are you sure? I could help."

"You're a guest."

"Yeah. A guest that drinks all your booze." I responded.

"A guest is a guest. I'll be done soon anyway." she insisted on doing it herself. I could smell pancakes. Less than ten minutes later she came in with two plates of pancakes. She set them down and we started to eat.

As I was eating the taste reminded me of the kiss. I could actually remember that now. It really did taste like this. Why am I thinking about that? Am I blushing AND smiling? What is this? I forced my expression back to it's neutral position, which was a scowl, and hoped she didn't see that. Jade West doesn't blush nor does she do that and smile simultaneously. I cleared my head and focused on eating.

When we finished Cat did the dishes. I went upstairs to get my bag and pillow. After a night at Cat's house I usually left early, but it was nearly twelve now. That video was long. I got downstairs and saw Cat was done.

"Are you going home now?" she asked.

"Yeah. Thanks. I really appreciate your help." I'm not sure why, but felt I had to say this. It's true though.

"I know. Do you want to do something tomorrow?"

"Not really. Maybe another time." I said.

"Okay. Bye, Jade." she always seemed sad when I left. Soon she'd see something and forget about it though.

"See ya, Cat." I left and threw my things into my car. As I was driving home I remembered what my puppet show was about. It started out like a comedy story, but it turned into me strangling Beck and Tori with my bare hands. The thought made me smile. I'm pretty sure I'm more fucked up in the head at times than Cat is on a daily basis.

I got home and layed down on my bed. I didn't feel like doing anything today so I closed my eyes and let my mind wander for the day. There were mostly thoughts about school, but I did start remembering more of last night. I still can't believe I'm a nice drunk. It doesn't make sense.

Later during the night I start thinking about that kiss again. Why is it on my mind this much? It was just a kiss. It wasn't a "oh god take me now" kiss, but it most definitely wasn't a "just friends" kiss. Now even the word pancakes can't cross my mind without thinking about it. Do I like Cat? It can't be true. I'm not even concerned with the fact that she's a girl. It's that she's Cat, the most innocent thing alive. Something is wrong with me. I'm done for tonight. I'm going to sleep. I turned off my light and fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up from a dream that brought my thoughts back to Cat and that damn kiss. The dream was a sex dream featuring Cat as my object of desire. What the hell? I know she's hot, but it's probably just a slight attraction... I just called Cat hot. It's true. She's just so unbearably gorgeous. Okay. It's not just a slight attraction. If it were I wouldn't have had a full blown sex dream about her, or call her hot and gorgeous. I can't like her though, we're completely different.

Cat Valentine and Jade West are literally polar opposites. We're so incompatible even our names don't sound right together. Could I like her? There's no way she could like me though. I'm mean and horrible, but she even said that I wasn't horrible. I'm obviously not mean to her though because she's my best friend and why be friends with someone who's always mean to you. She even lets me come over, knowing I'm just going to drink until I forget. That doesn't mean she likes me the same way. It's just her being nice.

Why am I having feelings for someone else so quickly? I broke up with Beck on Friday. I did tell myself I was done with him and didn't care anymore. Part of me still does care, but I don't want to care about it anymore. I'm just going to try and let it go. You know what? Fuck it! I like Cat! There. I admitted it, to myself that is. What am I going to do about it though?

And that ends chapter three. I hope this one lived up to everyone's expectations. So... The awkward part where I ask/beg for reviews. They are nice, and brighten up my day. They are also nice with iced tea and toast. The next update may be a while. Completely booked schedule. I'll try though.
