Tori's P.O.V

Only In My Dreams

The squeaking of the door caused me to look up panic as I sat up straight sweating it was only in my dreams wow it seemed as real as it could be. Jade wasn't going to kill me.

Hey be..

Expecting to see Beck as I shock out the strange dream of Jade I started to smile..my face froze when I saw Jade walk in. Backing up out of bed I was filled with terror did she know? Did she catch us?

Jade?

What the f..

She cussed shocked to see me as she flipped on the light.

Vega what are you doing here?

I was all set with a snappy comeback when her voice came out sounding strained depressed weak very un-Jade like.

Gulping I asked myself why did I care?

Jade what's wrong?

She sat on the bed arms crossed.

Like you care Vega

Well if I didn't I wouldn't be asking

Why did I care so much though really? Jade was never really my friend.

She looked at me trying to decide trust me or not to trust me? Slowly I headed over my own arms crossed quite nervous if Beck came back with our drinks she would know for sure.

Jade I can tell your upset

Wow your a real star pupil

Jade stop with the wise cracks that's why you have so few friends

See I thought my personality was a very heart warming charming feature

Yea if someone likes witches and being burned in potions

Bump you Vega

Now come on Jade you know you love me

Like fish love land Vega

Aw come on Jade you know I'm better then some smelly old fish

Says who?

She arched a eyebrow.

Plenty of people

Your family dog doesn't count Vega

Ow

I pretended to pout she nudged me laughing.

You ever wonder why were here?

What do you mean?

Like why did our parents have us why did god let us be born?

Why go after our dreams if god has a whole other plan for our lives ones he probably crafted for us before we were even born?

Pretty heavy stuff West

Yea well

So what's going on?

When did you know Tori?

Know what West?

When did you know you wanted to preform?

I was never really totally into it until Trina

Well I knew since I was like 2 that this is where I belonged

I was always singing and dancing around the place

My mom use to say I was born to do this she made me promise to always work hard

Stay true to my dreams without losing myself

Your mom sounds like a wise loving woman

Yea she was and I let her down

No you haven't Jade uh hello you worked your butt off to get into one of the top

Preforming Arts High schools in all the country your at the top of our class

You already wrote your own screen play had it produced and made it into a west end production

I would say any mom would be proud

She wouldn't be proud of me now

Why would you say that?

Cause..

Jade's eyes filled with tears I looked around where was Cat? She has been Jade's best friend since they were kids. No one was around sighing I pushed myself closer to her putting my arm around her waist she suddenly broke down.

Rubbing her back while she cried I worried what could be so bad Jade West broke down over it?

Sniffling she stood up she hugged me I almost dropped dead from shock.

Thanks

For what?

For listening

Well sure are you okay now?

No..god..I can't believe I am so stupid so careless

Your not stupid or careless Jade Mean and bossy maybe

Hey watch it Vega I know where you live

My dad's a cop!

True True

She sighed.

I'm pregnant Tori and I'm scared

Your what? Oh my god! Does Beck know?

No and your not telling him!

She stood up angrily ..

He wouldn't care

Yes he would

No he wouldn't Beck is all about his bad boy status he likes getting girls once he's had them he's done

Jade you've been with him for four years

Really Tori cause love is suppose to mean staying with the one you love forever

Beck is forever chasing girls come on Veg your in our class you know it's true

You see him with all the other girls all the time

Yea but he always comes home to you

So were 17 it doesn't mean he wants a kid he likes sex I bet you he's hooked up with someone already.

I froze how could I deny it when I know he had . God she would kill me ..I wanted to kill me.

Jade

Don't bother you know don't you I bet it was some cheap thrill

That he met last night he'll try to cover it up but I'm not stupid I know better

Who is she Tori?

I didn't..I don't ..Beck loves you

Forget it I've manged on my own for 17 years I'll manage on my own now who cares if all my dreams

die. Beck gets to live his dreams his life typical the girl suffers when it's his responsibility as well as mine.

Jade

Forget it Vega and I'm warning you keep your mouth shut!

She stormed out as I sunk down exhausted head pounding eyes burning. The door scared me as Beck came in my throat went dry.

[An Hour Later]

Jade calm down!

Calm down why!

She shoved me hard I yelped hitting the wall.

You told didn't you is that why you don't want me?

No I swear I didn't

Didn't what Vega?

Didn't tell my boyfriend I'm pregnant didn't sleep with my boyfriend

N...

Wait did she ? Slap her hand flew against my face dang she had some power her eyes blazed as she hit me over and over.

Jade stop

Stop what Tori?

Trusting people caring , hoping, thanks to you and Beck I have..

Her voice was laced with such venom and sadness it scared me backing up I tried to escape her rage my face was on fire. She was beat red fist clenched shaking hard . My foot caught on something I was afraid she was going to kill me. I swallowed as she screamed her fist connecting with my face.

Jade please don't I'm sorry I was drunk I …

Shut it Vega just shut the...up

Jade no!

She lunged at me her hands wrapped around my throat I tried to kick her but she was strong. I couldn't wedge out she was pressing harder and harder trapping my body against the wall and bed. I felt the air leaving my body getting thinner and thinner, my fear was past alarmed I was in full panic mode, I couldn't talk ..loud noises erupted inside my ears.

Pain shot through me is this what death felt like? Everything went black.
