"Auditioning next, Madison Pope." Jade and Tori were ready for all of the auditions today. They knew it would be a long drawn out process. Even though Tori had the lead sown up, Jade had elected to not by the second main, or any other supporting part. She wanted to be as hands on as possible, and that meant focusing on the finer details.
"Hello. I am Madi Pope. Nice to meet you. Where would you like for me to begin?"
"Ah yes, miss Pope. I am Jade, the writer and co-producer. This is Tori, and she will be reading the lead. Please follow her lead as she begins on page 50." Jade was used to giving the instructions, and Tori was happy doing the same exact scene over and over again. The familiarity of it made it easier with every additional take.
"Melissa. I love you. I want only the best for you, in every aspect of your life. I know you care about me too, but why won't you let me help you?"
"Lizzy, I love you too. But I am too afraid. I have been hurt in the past. Ethan left scars that may never heal. Plus, I don't want to weigh you down with any extra baggage. You already have enough, you know."
"But, why. I wouldn't ask if I wasn't sure I could handle it. And I wouldn't stick around if I didn't want to help mend your broken heart, and help you heal."
Melissa kisses Lizzy, portraying a myriad of emotions. Love, hurt, want, need, desire. But most of all, confusion. Why should this be so hard. They loved each other, and had for over a year. She wanted to be helped, but knew if she got too attached, that she might end of getting hurt so bad, that she could never recover. It was too much of a risk. What if it didn't work out?
"Alright, Madi. Please skip the kiss. We wouldn't like to put you in a position that you may not feel comfortable in." Madison understood, but went with the kiss anyway. Jade looked up, and saw something that she wished she hadn't. It looked like Tori was enjoying the kiss, and that she was returning it willingly. Jade was broken.
Jade didn't wait. She got up, stormed off, and eventually found herself in the bathroom, throwing up and crying so bad that anyone would belive she was dying a slow, agonizing death. And, well, she was. Tori was her world, and if she lost her, then Jade didn't want to think about it. She finally found her way to her car, and went home, to start packing.

JADE. WHAT IS THE MATTER. WHAT HAPPENED? WHY WON'T YOU RETURN MY CALLS OR TEXTS?
Jade ignored it. She didn't want to face it. The reality of losing Tori was too painful. There wasn't anything that Jade could do, except go home to her parents. Sure they hated her, but at least they hadn't ripped out her heart. Jade arrived, and her parents, looking at her skeptically, allowed her in. She was a wreck, but didn't care. She didn't care about anything. All she wanted was to curl into a ball and never have to face the light of day again. And the way that her parents had perfected ignoring her, she wouldn't have to.
Tori was at her wits end. What happened? Why had Jade stormed off? The last thing she remembered, she was kissed by Madison, who probably put too much into it, and then saw Jade run off. Kevin had tried to stop her, but Jade didn't want to be stopped, and so there was nothing that anyone could do.
Tori was driving around town, frantically looking for ANY sign of Jade. She had called all of her friends. Cat and Robbie would call the instant that they heard. Beck couldn't be reached, and so she couldn't request his help. Andre was away in Europe, touring and being a successful R&B artist. And Trina, well, was Trina. She had called her parents, and Mr. Vega said he would add her to the missing persons list at the police station. Good thing having a parent as a police officer, right?
"Where are you, Jadelyn Augusta? What did I do? Please come back to me."

After a few days of wondering, and unsuccessful searching, Tori's twenty-first birthday finally arrived. She knew she wanted Jade by her side, and that she should be doing everything in her power to find her. But the pain was too harsh. Tori had found a liquor store, bought a bottle, and returned home, where it was consumed rather quickly. She didn't remember what happened next.

Jade, who was watching TV in her parent's den, which was an improvement over laying in the fetal position, saw the story when it broke.
"Actress/Singer Victoria Vega hospitilized with Alcohol poisoning." Serves her right, dumb bitch. Jade was a bit over it, but the pain was still there. But the love was still there, also. She cursed herself for saying something so bad about the girl who had her heart. She didn't want anything to do with her, but also didn't want anything bad to happen to her. Jade sat there, watching, debating over wether to go see her, or to stay put and erase all traces of what once was from her mind.
Another quick update. I am sorry I lied about my pace being slowed down because of work. It has actually given me the chance to get these done quicker. Go figure, right. But anyway, I had some reviews about there not being enough drama. I have had this planned since the beginning (Go look at what I said in Ch 3), where something happens between the girls and they are driven apart. I just got around to it too late. So sorry if there wasn't enough drama in this until now, but this is just the beginning. Please review, and the next update should be coming soon!
