A/N: So so sorry for the late update. I had/have a writers block but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Sorry if this chapter is short. Trigger warning: there is violence and mentions of suicide/self harm.
FLASHBACK:
"I know about your little girlfriend." Quickly, Jade composed herself. Beck was someone who didn't like not getting what he wanted. And what he'd wanted since day one, was Jade West. But little Mr popular wasn't very satisfied at Jade turning him down on multiple occasions. "Unfortunately I have no idea what you're talking about and you're wasting my time." She turned around only to have her wrist tightly caught in his hand. She turned to him, her eyes cold. "Let go of me." Beck smirked, leaning towards her again and pressed his mouth against her ear. "If you don't reconsider my suggestion, you'll be sorry." He let go of her wrist, walking away with a sense of pride. Jade's face dropped and without even thinking she made her way out of the school and to her car.
And I know
There's nothing I can say
To change that part..
She couldn't sleep. How could anyone sleep knowing that nothing was ever going to be the same. There was no going back. It was like that saying.. "you made your bed, now lie in it". Jade had royally fucked things up and she had to deal with it now. She was stuck in a chronic insomnia. Hours seemed to pass like days, and days seemed to pass like years. To be honest, Jade didn't mean to punch Tori. That was the last thing she ever wanted to do. If she could turn back time, she so fucking would. She would take back everything – the suicide attempt, the succumbing to Beck.. everything. Jade got up and began to pace her room, her arms wrapped tight around her for support – it wasn't even cold, but Jade was afraid that she'd fall apart. Without even thinking, Jade grabbed her shoes (not even caring about the fact she was still in her pj's) and made her way out of her house and to her car. Jade's parents weren't the type to really care if she left randomly in the middle of the night – they trusted her, even though they had no idea that what Jade was about to do would potentially mean life or death at the end of the day. She turned the engine on and made her way out of the drive way and headed towards the place she was least welcome. Tori's house. It wasn't that far from where Jade lived, but it was far enough to give Jade an idea of what she wanted to say. She decided to park a few houses down from Tori's before shooting her a text. After everything went down, Jade got a new number – anything to stop people from harassing her. The only person who had that number was (unfortunately) Beck.
Hey uh, think you have the wrong number. Thanks anyway?
Jade groaned in annoyance, grabbed the keys from the ignition and made her way up to the latina's house. When she arrived to the house, there were no lights on – not even in Tori's bedroom. She assumed that maybe her earlier actions had made the girl tired. Jade looked around at anything she could use to try and grab the latina's attention. Her eyes fell on some small rocks (small enough to make noise but not big enough to cause any actual damage to the property) and she began to peg them at the girls window. It took a lot to wake Tori up, but the dull pain in her jaw made it easier. She awoke to the dull noises of things hitting her window. Tori got out of bed and grabbed her sleeping gown before sheepishly walking over to observe whatever commotion was happening. She hoped it was just some punk street kids that she could quickly scare off. But she wasn't prepared to see Jade West – yes, the girl who hours before had globed her one in the face – throwing pebbles at her window. Tori frowned, not really knowing why she would have the nerve to show up at her house especially after assaulting her. It seemed now that Trina and Cat's little pep talks about how negative and mean Jade was had finally paid off. Because now the latina (who yes, may be fragile looking) was fully prepared to show her what she was made of. Cat stirred in her sleep a bit as Tori exited the room, carefully and quietly ensuring she didn't wake anyone up as she made her way out of her room and down the stairs. Thank god everyone else in the house were heavy sleepers because otherwise she'd have to explain a few things. Tori quietly opened and unlocked the front door before making her way over to the girl. Jade must not have noticed that Tori had already woken because she got a fright when Tori tapped her on the shoulder. "What the hell are you doing here?" Tori didn't even have the ability to address Jade by her name and in her view – why the hell should Tori have to address the psycho anyway? "Did I wake you?" Tori gave her a half confused and half pissed off frown. "No, your lovely gift earlier has been keeping me awake. Again, what the hell are you doing at my house?" Jade shrugged slightly, before taking a step towards Tori. The girl jumped back, holding a hand up towards Jade. "Don't you dare." Tears formed slightly in the latina's eyes. She didn't want to show weakness in front of Jade, but she couldn't help it. Even though she did the whole 'I'm strong fuck you' performance – there was still a lot of confusion Tori had towards Jade and everything that had happened in the past month or so. "Can you just let me explain." How Jade had an inch of nerve to come to Tori's house and 'let her explain' – Tori had no idea. But she was too tired (physically and emotionally) to deal with it. "Let you explain what? The fact that you acted so selfishly and then have the nerve to treat the only person who did right by you like complete shit?" Tori raised her voice, and took a step closer to Jade who was completely taken aback by Tori's words. "You put me through hell-" Jade cut her off, her own tears forming. "Don't you think I fucking know that, Tori?" The porch lights turned on, a confused Trina and Cat emerged, watching on as the argument boiled. "You can't expect me to want to give you the time of day. And I won't. I'm fucking done, so leave me alone." Tori turned and started to walk away, leaving a solemn Jade at her wits end. "I did this all for you. To protect you. You're all I care about." Tori stopped in her tracks, and began to walk away motioning to both Trina and Cat to leave. Trina however, being the big sister she was, shook her head. She made her way in an angry stride towards Jade, who was now willing to accept any punishment – she deserved it, in her view. "How fucking dare you come here and talk to my sister like that." Jade gave a laugh. "Oh yeah? And what the fuck have you done for her, Trina?" At this time, Cat was trying to comfort Tori who was now shaking – both with slight rage and despair. "How dare you talk to me like that, you little bitch. If it weren't for me, my sister would've probably necked herself. And all over a pathetic piece of trash." –
A/N: Dun dun dunnnn. I stopped here because I wanted to do more in the next chapter. Please tell me what you think. I'm aware the characters are slightly OOC but I've written it how I'd see them react in their respective ways.
