Chapter 3

Tori's POV

"Ok so here, maybe you can crescendo?" Andre said as he played a riff on the piano. I looked at the notes on the sheet. This song just wasn't...me. We had been working on "Last Christmas" all afternoon. My mouth and jaw were tired, and i thought my voice was going to give out.

"Andre, how about we take a break?" I begged. He nodded, without a second thought, and i left the theatre. I ran around the corner to the vending machine. I inserted a dollar and waited for my Vitamin Water to come out.

"No! No...I'm not going to...look last Christmas you ruined me...i...no...I can't. Sorry Daniel." It was Cat's voice and she did not sound happy. My drink came out and i followed her voice.

"Look Daniel...ok yes we weren't together last Christmas but you cheated on me...with Tori! oh so you think that just because she's my best friend I'm mad...no I'm mad 'cuz you kissed her...no...No Daniel. I have to go...no don't call me back...goodbye." she whimpered.

I saw her slump down and start sobbing in her hands. Poor Cat. She's so delicate and fragile. One little hit and she's done. She's like a flower petal.

"Cat? Are you ok?" I asked walking by her. She looked up at me, with a puffy face. She was a mess. Her mascara was running, hair was a disaster.

"How...how much of that did you hear?" she gasped. I cocked my head and half smiled indicating i heard just enough. She smiled gratefully.

"I'm sorry Cat. If my jealousy hadn't gotten in the way, you would have a nice boyfriend." I mumbled, with my voice cracking. Cat shook her head rapidly and gave me a hug

"No, no no Tori don't think that! He was already looking at other girls. This is in no way your fault! Well i mean you kissed him...but he kissed you first."

"Cat, stop please. Let's just move on..." I said pleading. She nodded, followed by a groan. She opened her bag and pulled out sheet music.

"This is my song." she said handing me the thick packet. "My Grown-Up Christmas List". I love this song.

"This is a really good song. I loved this when i was little. Still do." She shrugged.

"I don't know why i got this song. It's not me, and...It hurts too much to sing anything besides heart break." she sighed. She stuffed the paper back in her bag.

"Hey. I have an idea. You hate your song and my song isn't me, so why don't we switch?" I asked handing her my sheet music. She glanced at it and a grin spread across her face.

"I love it!" she exclaimed giving me a big hug.

When i got home, Trina was already complaining. Wow, 2 hours after school. That's a new record.

"...And Sikowitz told me that the lead solo was already taken. So. I have to sing in the stupid chorus."

"That's nice dear." my mom said absentmindedly stirring a pot of Cambell's Chicken Noodle Soup.

"Hey, I'm home." I said placing my bag on the couch.

"Can you believe Sikowitz? He has the nerve to give the lead solo to someone besides me! No one else has a voice like me!" she whined.

She could say that again. Hahaha.

"Well, Cat got the solo." I said peeling open a banana.

"Cat? Your oversensitive freaky red head friend? She got my solo? AHHHHHHH!"

I rolled my eyes. I pulled out my phone as Trina screamed in a pillow. I went on The Slap. Andre says "Tori? Where are you? You left but you didn't come back. Where are you?".

Whoops, forgot to tell him i left.

I updated my status "Trina's throwing a fit. Wanna sing my fave Christmas song. Hope i do. Fingers crossed :)"

The next day Cat and I met up at the front door of the school. "Ready?" she asked jumping up and down. I nodded briskly. I put my books in my locker, and took out my sheet music.

"Sikowitz." we said softly as we entered his homeroom.

"Hum..." he droned as he meditated.

"Sikowitz!" we said a little louder. He continued to not hear us.

"Free Coconut Milk!" Cat screamed. His eyes shot open and stood up.

"Yes ladies?" he asked taking a sip of his Coconut Milk.

"We would like to switch solos." I said sweetly showing him both sheets of music.

"Hmm...aha...well...Tori are you ok without the lead solo?" he grumbled.

"Yes! I'm perfectly fine." I said smiling. He looked at our two Cheshire cat smiles and nodded

"Yes...yes you girls may switch." he said swapping the sheet music.

"Now if you excuse me, I must go talk to Beck and Jade about their duet." he said leaving.

"Duet?" Cat asked.

"Yes. They sound great together. I don't want them in a choir, but in a duet. So i chose "Baby it's Cold Outside" for them." he said walking away.

"Oh. Yay!" Cat exclaimed hugging the sheet music.

"Now you can sing how you feel." I said referring to the heart break. She nodded but i could see her mouth quivering from the tears coming.

"Let's go." I said, pulling her into the hall. She followed, skipping with excitement.

Kept my promise to make it longer. Next Chapter will take a while to write, because of Christmas and all. Bye!:)
