DISCLAIMER - I do not own Victorious, or any of the Characters, Images, or any else that is in any way related to it

Jade couldn't take it anymore. Her mind was playing on every single possibility that there was, but her heart was pining for the latina too much. Almost without knowing it, Jade was in her car, headed to the hospital.

"Victoria Vega's room, please." The nurse looked up, wondering who this girl was, asking for the starlet that was in the ICU. "And you are?"

"Her fiance. Can I please go see her?" The nurse laughed. There is no way one of the brightest young stars, especially one with such a bright young future, could be homosexual. And, even so, why take HER? There were so many other girls out there. "Right. And I am the Queen of England."

"Listen to me," Jade was not in the mood. She was scared and frustrated, and didn't know what to do without Tori, "you will tell me what room, I will go to that room, and I will not slit your throat with scissors."

That was all it took. A few moments later, security showed up, and Jade was taken off in handcuffs. She was led down to the station, where she ran into Mr. Vega.

"JADE? What are you doing here. Where the fuck have you been for the last 4 days. My daughter is the hospital because of you." Mr. Vega was enraged with her. There was almost no way that he would help her, not even for his daughter's sake. "I'm sorry. I don't usually lose my temper like that."

"Mr. Vega. I need two things. First, I need out of here. I can face the assault chargers, or what ever the hospital decides to lay on me. But for now, please LET ME OUT. I need to see Tori. My heart is broken, and only she can mend it." Mr. Vega was listening, considering helping her or not. But the worry, sincerity, and love in her words convinced him that he needed to. "Also, I need some advice. May I ask a question?"

"Well Jade. I don't want you anywhere near my daughter. I also don't want you leaving here. At least here, you cannot cause her any more pain. What you did to her, I can never forgive, even if she does. My daughter almost died tonight, and you were the reason." Jade started crying so bad, that everyone else in the jail, inmate and officer alike, were forgotten. Mr. Vega and Jade didn't care what happened right now. They both just wanted the same thing, Tori out of the hospital, safe and sound.

"I know." Jade's voice was so weak and sheepish, but the love and concern couldn't be masked. "Please. Help me. I told Tori that I didn't deserve her, and I guess I proved that, didn't I?" "You're damn right you did." Jade deserved that. "But PLEASE, Mr. Vega. If you will help me, I will spend every day of my life, every waking moment and every breath I take make it up to her, to get her to forgive me, and to try and make her, you, everyone feel like I do deserve her. I fucked up, and need to make things right. How do I make this right?"

"I am not sure how you get her back, Jade. I do not know how easily she can forgive and forget. But for now, Jade, you still have to face the music for the assault charges, and will still catch hell from Mrs. Vega. But I can let you out on bond. The judge has it set at $2500. If you can pay that, I can release you. Do you have that kind of money?"

"No, but I know someone who does. May I use a phone, please?" Jade had the station phone handed to her. Why do I have to call him? Little did she know, Beck wasn't around. Probably in Canada. But she didn't know, and called anyway.

"You've reached the phone of Beck Oliver. I missed your call, but will be back with you shortly. Please leave a message."

"Damn Canadian. Still never found a practical use for one." Then another phone call. This one to the bubbly redhead who had stolen Tori from her that night.

"Oh, hi Jade. He he. What's up?" How the hell could one person be so damn happy all the time? What is her deal?

"Cat, please. I am in jail, and need $2500 for bond. I have the money, but it is in my bank account. Can you please run by my house and get my purse, or bail me out and I will pay you back with interest. I just need out of this damn place, and need to see my Tori."

"Oh, ok. One time, my brother got arrested. He had-"

"DAMNIT CAT, NOW!"

Jade heard her whimper in the background, and then started crying. Great. "How many more people can I cause misery and pain tonight?" Jade thought. Ususally Jade enjoyed inflicting pain and suffering. But not right now. She NEEDED Tori right now, and Tori needed her.

Within fifteen minutes, Jade was released. She thanked Cat, stating that she owed her a Freezy Queen. Jade rushed out the door, to the hospital. Now that she was out and going to the hospital, again, she knew what she had been through wasn't even close to what was about to happen. Mr. Vega was right. Jade knew it. She had fucked up royaly, and now had to face the music. If Mr Vega had been that hard on her, just imagine Mrs. Vega and Trina. And then of course, Tori.

There was the big problem. Jade was never scared, and didn't care what anyone thought of her. But this was different. She had let her heart betray her, and didn't care about anything other than making it right. Everyone around her could beat her down all they wanted, but as long as Tori was there and was willing to keep things going and give her another chance, then Jade could endure anything. She had some hope.

Back at the hospital, and with a message to the head nurse from the police station, Jade was given the information that she had sought out earlier. "Room 626."

"Thank you, and sorry about before. My fiance and I are going through a rough spot, and need to work this out. But it was no excuse for my actions and my anger from earlier. Please, forgive me."

Jade was saying that, though not really concerned with what the nurse would say. She just wanted to see Tori, and needed to make this right. Right as she got to the door, there stood Trina and Mrs. Vega, tears in their eyes. They looked up to the pale goth, and rage overtook, and both of them grabbed her and pulled her into the hospital courtyard.

"What the fuck Jade," Trina started. Trina was scared of Jade, but would do anything to anyone who hurt her baby sister. So Jade could do whatever, Trina would stand her ground. "how could you do something like this to Tori?"

Jade looked up. Everyone kept giving her that speech. Like Jade was the one who had done wrong. Sure, she had stormed out and refuse to talk to her fiance. And sure she was the reason that Tori was in this hospital. But that didn't mean that Tori didn't do something also. She had kissed another girl. Not a stage kiss. A real, meaningful, desire filled kiss.

Mrs. Vega took over. "David called me from the station. He told me about the conversation you two had. I understand that you are sorry. But that doesn't excuse anything you have done. What did you think Tori would do when you stormed off and competely ignored her? Just move on and accept things? You broke her heart. No, let me reiterate that. You broke HER, Jade. What do have to say for yourself"

"Did she tell you what happened? Why I ran off?"

"That's not important, you dumb bitch." Trina was starting to really lay into Jade. And Jade took it in stride, and let her say what she wanted. She would do whatever to get Tori back, even letting this lunatic say things that would normally get her killed. "All that matters is that my sister is in the hospital, and you are the reason."

If Jade had any more tears, they would be coming by now. But she had been crying for practically six days straight now, and there was nothing left to give.

"Did she say anything?"

"She said that there was an audition, and that she got kissed unexpectidly by the girl who was there. That the girl put too much into it. Tori had laughed under her breath. 'Just let the girl kiss a famous actress', she had said. Everyone dreams of it. Most people would do anything for it. So Tori just let her. Tori lamented it, and wanted nothing of it, but let her do it anyway. I guess it is her way of being who she is."

Jade facepalmed herself for this one. "I am one dumb bitch."

"You got that right, Jade."

No one had noticed that Mrs. Vega had left them alone. The doctors had come to find her. Tori was finally awake, and could have visitors, and Mrs. Vega was the first one in. "Just let those two hash it out for a while. Jade is upset, and sorry. I can forgive her. I don't have any place to make her feel worse if I am going to turn around and forgive so easily." Mrs. Vega was by Tori's side, explaining what all had happened.

"Jade is here?" Tori's voice was so weak. "Did she explain why she did what she did?"

"I don't know, sweetheart. Trina is talking to her right now. And you know Trina. Overly protective and a bit bitchy at time. I think Jade will have her hands full for a while."

Tori let out a chuckle. She knew Trina cared, and that she was protective. But standing up to Jade, that was a new one for her. "Jade can handle herself. Can I see her? I want to see her. I need to see her."

"And another thing, Jade. Tori may be willing to forgive and forget. But I don't. Not that easily. So let me tell you something. If Tori takes you back, though I don't know why she would or why she should, that is one thing. But if you EVER hurt her like this again, I will personally slit YOUR throat with scissors. You got that?"

Jade was still processing what Trina had said about the audition, but agreed with Trina. She had just heard the speech that is given from older siblings to protect their younger sisters on wedding days. That classic, I will kill you, speech. "She looked like she was enjoying it. That she wanted it. Leave it to me to fuck shit up. Why can't I do anything right?"

Jade did start crying this time, and Trina even managed to grab her and hold her in a concerned embrace. Sure this is the girl who had hurt Tori, but no one deserves to cry without having someone there to help console them.

"Wow, Jade. You are a dub bitch." Trina said this more teasingly than angrily, but saw the look Jade had. It wasn't helping. "Sorry, Jade. I didn't mean that."

"Can I see Tori, please? I need to see her."

"Sure. Just give mom a few minutes alone with her. Her daughter is unconcious in the hospital. We all take turns alone with her, a few minutes at a time. It gives us a chance to get out our fear and pain without that hinderance of someone there with us to hold us back. Just us, what ever we need to say or do to cope with it."

After a few minutes, Mrs. Vega came back. "She's awake. She wants to see you, Jade. Please go ahead. Trina and I will give you the privacy you need." Jade cried again. From the joy of knowing Tori will be okay, to the fact that Tori still wanted to see her. She was crying so hard, she didn't even feel Mrs. Vega and Trina pull her in. "Everything will be ok.", she thought.

A few minutes later, after walking down the hall, and hearing the beeps of the equipment in Tori's room, Jade composed herself. "I need to make this up to her. I will do whatever it takes. I need her to forgive me for being so stupid and such a bitch." After a short moment, she walked into the room.

Well there we have it, Chapter 10. Will Tori forgive Jade after learning why she had really left. Will it drive Tori mad thinking that Jade doesn't trust her. Will she understand? What will happen next? Please review, and I look forward to chapter 11. This is starting to unfold very nicely. Let me know what you think1
