A/N: Here it is! I'm soooo thankful for your kind reviews!
Disclaimer: If I owned Victorious, it would premier every day.
"Cat's parents are taking care of the funeral." Daniel announced as he walked into my room. "I can take it from here." He added, looking at Beck. He nodded.
"Call me if you need anything." He kissed my temple.
"Thanks for taking care of her." My brother told him.
"No problem."
"We need to do something." I said when I was sure my boyfriend couldn't hear me.
"What are you talking about?" He sat down beside me on the couch.
"You know what I'm talking about, Haley murdered our parents, and we need to help her." I muttered.
"I don't want you anywhere near her." He stated.
"C'mon, Daniel." I glared at him. "I don't want you dead, so we are helping her."
"Why can't you just listen to me?" He sighed. "You promised dad you would." Danny walked out of the room and shut his door.
I sat on my bed, thinking about everything. My life was definitely messed up, I was an orphan. I just couldn't get that word on my head. We didn't need to worry about adoption, because Daniel was turning 18 in two months and he could claim my custody. We only had to try not to get any police attention until then. If they found out we were alone, they would send us to those horrible adoption centers.
Fighting with my brother wouldn't make things easier. And if there was someone who had it tougher than me, it was him. He was 17 and had to take care of a 15 year old teenager who wouldn´t even listen to him. I felt bad for him.
"Daniel?" I knocked on his door. "Please let me in?"
"Sure" I entered and he was lying on his bed, his eyes closed.
"Look, I know you only want the best for me, like mom and dad did. But you can't keep me from this. This curse or whatever it is, is putting our lives in danger." I sighed as I lied down beside him.
"I know that, Jade. I just feel like I'm the one responsible for you now. Dad said so. It's not like when we were kids and mom left me in charge of you when she went shopping. If you die, I would have failed to my parents." My brother whispered.
"You know that will not happen." I assured him. "I just need to help her, that way we will be safe forever."
"Okay, but I'll help you, no matter what you say." He smirked. "The funeral is tomorrow."
"I don't wanna go." I sighed.
"Me neither, but we have to." He kissed my cheek and got up. "Are you going to school tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I think that's better than to stay here and cry all day."
We spent the rest of the afternoon packing all mom and dad stuff in boxes and putting them on the garage.
"Jade, what's this?" Daniel asked, letting me see a white envelope that read Kids.
I opened it and there was a letter.
"Daniel, we knew something could happen to us, and we wanted to make sure you know what to do. In this envelope there is a debit card. It's all the money we've saved for Jade and your university, but you will need it know. I don't think you remember her, but you have a grandma. My mom. We had a fight little before we left for our first moving. She lives in Ohio and I'm sure she will be happy to help you and know your sister. She is mad with me, not you. Please don't let Jade go to an adoption center.
I hope you never have to read this.
Love
Mom." He finished reading.
"Do you think we should go talk to grandma?" I asked. I didn't know her, but if she was a little like mom, she would be happy to help us.
"I think so, I do remember her. When mom told her we were moving she freaked out and tried to convince mom to leave me with her. Maybe she wants to take care of us." He sighed. I knew Daniel like the back of my hand. He hated the idea of asking for help, but he was doing it for me.
"We don't have to go if you don't want to." I hugged him. "You should go to the bank and ask how much money is in the debit card. I think both of us should start working. I don't know… in a cafeteria? We need the money for school and clothes and food."
"I will go see grandma." He stated. "I don't think mom ever told you this, but she was rich. I mean, before falling in love with dad. When they got married, grandma swore she wouldn't give her one more cent. Maybe she wants to help us."
"Okay."
…
"Daniel, I'm leaving!" I yelled as I ran downstairs.
"Jade! Don't forget I'm not coming until Thursday, take care and ask Cat to stay over!" He yelled back from the kitchen.
"Kay!" I got into the car and speed up to Hollywood Art's the only ones who knew about my parents where Beck and Cat. I didn't want everyone to know. I didn't need everyone's pity. I was fine. I mean, of course I missed my parents, but I didn't feel like I lost them yesterday. I lost them when I turned 7 and was able to stay with Daniel.
This would be a long week without Daniel, but I had to keep being strong and trying not to get into trouble. He would be back on Thursday, hopefully with money for us.
I got of the car and saw Beck waiting for me on the Asfalt Café. I walked towards him and he put and arm around my shoulders.
"Are you okay?" He asked, kissing my lips softly.
"I'm fine. Daniel is on a trip to visit my grandma. Wanna come over tonight?"
"Sure." He smiled and we walked hand-in-hand to our first class, improv.
A/N: Hope you liked it, next chapter the adventure and mystery stars, I pinky promise.
Do I deserve a review?
Love.
