CHAPTER 3:
Later that day back at Tori's house, Trina found Tori on the couch.
"Hey, Tori, can I borrow 10 bucks?" Trina asked. "Some guy asked me out and I'm rather low on funds this month." She explained.
"Fine. But I can't keep lending you money, okay." Tori said reluctantly handing Trina the money.
"I understand." Trina said as the doorbell rang.
"Coming." Tori said as she went to answer the door. "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" She asked to Andre, Robbie, Cat & Beck.
"We want to talk to you about something." Cat said.
"Can we come in?" Robbie asked.
"Sure." Tori said. As they all came in, they sat down on the couch. "What's up?" She asked.
"So, what's this I hear you're leaving Hollywood Arts?" Andre asked.
"WHAT?! Tori, please tell me I'm not hearing things." Trina said overhearing the conversation.
"Sorry, Trina." Tori said feeling apologetic.
"But why?" Robbie asked.
"'Cause I have this audition for a movie that I was really psyched about. But then Jade burned the only copy of my sheet music I was gonna use for my audition. And now I've had it with Jade harassing me all the time." Tori explained.
"Aw, come on, you've put up with Jade before." Andre said.
"Why should this be any different?" Beck asked prompting a slight glare from Tori. "Never mind, don't answer that." He continued.
"Can't you just buy another copy?" Cat asked.
"Or maybe learn another song?" Andre asked.
"First of all, Trina's been borrowing money from me all month, so I'm pretty tight on cash. Secondly, the audition is in 3 days; I don't have time to learn a new song." Tori explained.
"No worries, we can help you with that. Can't we." Andre said.
"You'll really do that?" Tori asked.
"On one condition...don't leave Hollywood Arts." Andre said.
"We'll miss you if you do." Cat said.
"Deal." Tori said.
"All right, you guys help Tori prepare for the audition, I'll go deal with Jade." Beck said.
That same evening, Beck was inside his RV waiting for Jade to arrive until the doorbell rang.
"Hey, I got your text message. What's up?" Jade asked as she came inside.
"Just sit down." Beck said.
"Okay. Is there a problem?" Jade asked confused.
"You tell me." Beck said.
"Huh?!" Jade asked still confused.
"What happened between you and Tori today?" Beck asked.
"Oh, it was nothing." Jade lied.
"Really? 'Cause it doesn't sound like nothing." Beck said.
"Are you trying to tell me something?" Jade asked waiting for Beck to get to the point.
"Jade, ask yourself this: Do you REALLY want Tori to leave Hollywood Arts?" Beck asked.
"I don't care. I hated her since the first day she came." Jade said.
"But think about all the nice stuff she did for you." Beck said.
"So, it still doesn't change how I feel about her." Jade said.
"Jade, let's get real, okay. Tori told me, Andre, Cat, and Robbie about what you did, and we all feel sorry for her and don't want her to leave Hollywood Arts. So you have two choices: 1) You apologize to Tori, or 2) I break up with you." Beck said firmly.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Jade screamed.
