Jade heard her Mother come in shortly after she heard Cat leave, but she couldn't be bothered to go down and talk to her, so instead Jade pulled her laptop from her desk and settled on the floor next to her bed. She signed into TheSlap only to see that Beck and Tori had both already changed their statuses to 'In a Relationship' and Jade quickly changed hers to 'Single' not wanting to be that girl, the one that couldn't let go of the boy she once loved.
As she scrolled through her classmates status' and replies, her worry about Cat's behavior earlier in the day began to increase.
Sinjin: Is the rumour about Cat Valentine true? Did not see that coming!
Beck: Yup, it's true, it was all there in writing
Tori: I saw it! It's true!
Trina: Isn't it gross? I feel bad for her, she's never going to have a normal life
Tori: Since when was Cat Normal?
André: Tori's got point, but still maybe Beck shouldn't have read it out loud to everyone? I feel a little bad for her.
Robbie: I saw her crying in the girl's bathroom
Tori: Robbie, stay out of the boys bathroom
Rex: He can't it's the one he's supposed to use
Robbie: Rex!
Jade kept scrolling, she didn't know what the rumour was or what Beck had read out loud to make Cat so upset, but one way or another she was going to find out. Jade pulled her cell phone from her pocket and dialed Beck's number, but no one picked up and Jade thought that maybe finding out was going to be harder than she anticipated, after all, she was sure no one wanted to speak too her after what had gone down just days before.
Jade quickly typed her own status, hoping that someone would see it and give her the answers she was looking for, although she wasn't holding her breath.
Jade: What the hell happened to Cat at school?
Faster than she anticipated the replies began to roll in, but none of them giving her what she wanted.
André: Maybe you'd know if you weren't such a gank
Beck: Figure it out or do what I did read her diary
Jade: Why the hell would you read her diary and how the hell did you get your hands on it
Tori: He found it in the attic at school
Jade: Shut up, no one was talking to you
Tori: That's no way to get the information you want now is it
Trina: Stay away from my baby sister!
Tori: Trina! I am not a baby!
Robbie: I really think you should talk to Cat, please tell her I'm here for her no matter what
When Robbie's response came in, Jade was first hit with jealousy, she hated that Cat was dating Robbie, but then she realized something. If Robbie was on TheSlap, that meant he wasn't with Cat and Cat had lied to her. Something she though Cat would never do.
Jade: Does anyone know where Cat is?
Tori: No
Robbie: I wish
Rex: Probably still crying in the bathroom
André: Haven't seen her since school started
Jade slammed the lid of her laptop closed, she was furious, although she didn't know who with. Part of her was mad at Cat, the other part mad at Beck for doing whatever it was he did to make Cat cry.
Bracing herself for the worst, Jade made her way downstairs, where she found her Mother going over some paperwork she had brought home from her Job, "Mom, can I go out, it's important."
"You're grounded, that means you aren't allowed to leave the house or did you forget that?" Catherine said not looking up at her daughter.
Jade was growing impatient. "No, I didn't but something's wrong with Cat and I need to go look for her and-"
"Is she lost?"
"Well not that I-" Jade began to say, before once again she was cut off by her Mother.
"Then no, you may not, but if you're looking for something to do, you can empty the dishwasher."
Jade huffed and shot her Mother a glare before turning around and stomping back up stairs. 'What is going on? What isn't Cat telling me?' Jade wondered as she let herself fall on to her bed, her eyes tracing the patterns on the ceiling as she made herself a promise to stay awake until Cat returned home.
Here's a second chapter for today, because I know they are both fairly short when compared to the others.
Let me know what you think?
What do you want to see happen?
