Tori cringed in fear as she watched another girl get her head cut off, falling in a pool of bloody snow. She clutched her pillow and turned to Jade, watching her chuckle in amusement at the gore filled movie. Another girl's head was sliced clean off and rolled down the ski hill, making Jade gasp for air while she clutched her stomach, the sound of her laugh raising over the screams of the victims on the television.

"That part never gets old."

Tori scrunched up her eyebrows, pulling a face. "As stupid as it sounds, I'd rather be in school."

Jade stopped laughing and wiped the tears from her eyes with a final snort. "Well, no one told you to break Beck's nose. That was pretty stupid."

"Yeah, but it shouldn't have gotten me suspended."

"But you still shouldn't have done it." Jade remarked, tapping Tori on the nose like a child.

"I was just protecting myself! Lay off or you'll be next." Tori retaliated, shifting slightly away from Jade. She was only joking but both of them knew she would really do it.

Jade raised her arms in defense, letting out a little sigh. "Ok...but what even happened?"

"I don't wanna talk about it." Tori said plainly, picking at an imaginary loose string on the sheets.

The pale teen frowned, grabbing the remote and pausing the movie. "Tell me, Vega."

Tori let out an exasperated breath and looked up at Jade, scowling. "Fine, okay. He was just...talking to me about how he doesn't approve of our relationship."

Jade raised an eyebrow, urging her girlfriend to continue.

"He uh...he wants you back." Tori lied, her scowl deepening. "I told him to lay off but he thinks you'd be happier with him."

Jade sat back and bit her lip. In a way, Beck was right. He may have been a shitty boyfriend who showed no interest in her when they were dating, but he would never hurt her physically.

"You don't think it's true, do you?"

Jade shook her head to clear her thoughts. "What?" She responded, although she heard Tori clearly.

Tori frowned and sat up on the plush bed. "You don't think it's true, do you?" She repeated, voice firm.

"I-I -"

"Save it, Jade. You'd rather be with Beck than with me, wouldn't you? I can read you like a damn book."

Jade's eyes met Tori's and she could see everything: all the anger, the sadness, the pent up hurt. There was only one way this would end, and it was not a happy ending.

She grabbed the remote to start the movie back up but Tori reacted quickly, squeezing her wrist with a deadly grip.

"Drop it."

Jade dropped the device almost immediately and Tori let go of her wrist with a slight shove. The pale teen grabbed her wrist and rubbed it, trying to ease the pain.

"What do you want me to say? I'm sorry? Is that what you want, Tori? I don't even know what I'm apologizing for! Why are you being like this?"

"My own girlfriend doesn't want to be with me and you want go know why I'm being like this?!"

"But I never said I didn't want to be with you, Tori!"

"You were thinking it!" Tori barked viciously back at Jade, making the teen flinch in terror. Tori brought her hand up and clenched a fist but lowered it again, shaking her head and sighing. Hitting Jade right now would only prove Beck's point. Jade slowly slid off the bed and approached Tori with a sad look.

"I'm sorry, Tori, but...what if it's true?"

Tori furrowed her eyebrows, confused. "What if what's true?"

"Well...what if I am better off with someone else? I love you, really Tori, but you have ... issues that you need to work out, and I'm not entirely happy with being the victim because you have problems."

"But why do we have to break up? We can fix our problems!"

"They're not our problems to fix!" Jade shouted, feeling all her bottled up anger towards Tori surfacing. "You have problems, Tori. You! And you're hurting me because you don't know how to deal with them!"
