DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VICTORIOUS.
Chapter 3
"Hold me, Tori"
Jade did not seem to notice the presence of 4 other bodies in the RV, all of them with terrified expressions. A million and one questions were racing through their minds at once. Questions like, who shot Beck? Why did they kill him? Who had something against him? And the most important question: was Beck the intended target, or is someone trying to get at Jade? The claustrophobic room was silent for the better of 5 minutes until Cat broke the silence.
"Jade?" she whispered, her usually sunny personality warped by the sight of Beck's corpse. Jade's head shot right up and she looked around. Her emerald eyes red and puffy from crying, her mascara all over her face and her expression was what haunted the others. Jade was considered to be very tough and hard to break down, but now all that toughness gone and replaced by alien expressions, such as fear, confusion, sadness, and frustration.
"H-h-h-hi." she croaked pathetically. She sniffled and tried to pull herself together. She fixed her hair up, so that it wasn't a mess and she rubbed her eyes, spreading mascara around her face and getting some on her hands. She was shaking a lot and attempted to stand up, to no avail. Robbie rushed forward and lifted her up by the armpits. Jade, would normally have shouted and threatened him with her scissors, but under these circumstances, she allowed it. Andre went to Beck's bed and grabbed a sheet and threw it over Beck's body to help prevent Jade from looking at it again.
"Cat, why don't you go outside and call Jade's parents?" Tori reminded Cat.
"Kay kay." Cat mumbled and left the RV and closed it behind her.
Robbie escorted Jade, who was barely managing to walk, to the orange sofa and carefully helped her sit, sitting next to her. Jade's eyes never left the sheet that has the outline of the late Beck Oliver. Tori took a seat next to Jade and put a hand on her shoulder while Andre took a seat on the bed.
"Jade, please tell us what happened here." Andre encouraged Jade, who flinched at being talked to, as if she were hoping to avoid talking for a long time.
"Oh, right." She mumbled. "Beck texted me this morning and asked me to come over to talk about us." Jade went on for the next 3 or so minutes to talk about what transpired. Apparently, Back was feeling terrible about his break up with Jade and wanted to get back together with her and start anew. When she arrived this morning, Jade noticed the door to his RV was ajar and entered only to find Beck shot recently, due to the freshness of the bullet hole.
"Shit." Andre whispered, standing up. Everyone was silent while Jade burst into tears again, her face in her hands. Tori and Robbie rubbed her back slowly in comfort.
"Alright, alright; I'm going to call an ambulance and Beck's parents. They need to know what happened." Andre stated, pacing in front of the bed, trying very hard not to look at the sheet on the floor.
"I can get in touch with the police, so they can piece together what happened here." Robbie added, also standing and avoiding the sheet. Tori nodded in agreement. Andre and Robbie headed for the RV door and closed it behind them.
An hour later, the police and ambulance arrive. The area was cordoned off and the RV was being canvassed for evidence while the medics took away Beck's body, now in a black body bag and put him in the ambulance.
Andre, Cat and Robbie were talking with the police officers and told them what they knew. Tori and Jade were sitting together on the sidewalk, far enough that no one could disturb them. Jade had stopped crying and was very quiet and her face had a blank look on it. Tori looked at Jade with a worried look. Jade attempted to avoid Tori's gaze. Tori, realizing that Jade wanted to be alone, started to stand up, but was grabbed by a smooth hand. Looking down, Tori noticed that Jade had grabbed her and was then pulled down by her with surprising strength.
"What?" Tori asked landing on the concrete next to Jade, who then wrapped herself around Tori's torso and squeezed with a strong grip. Tori was taken aback by this sudden move by Jade, who was known around Hollywood Arts for hating Tori. Jade croaked 3 words:
"Hold me, Tori." She then let go of Tori and straighten up before she leaned into Tori, who was paralyzed in shock, and kissed her on the lips. Tori, suddenly felt a jolt of enjoyment and without a second thought, kissed back. Unknown to the both of them, they were spotted by someone.
Now, the love starts. And so do the effects.
