Hey guys. What's up? It's 2013! Wooo! Anyway, onto the disclaimer and shit.

Alex: Adriana doesn't own Victorious or any of the OC's except Maddi..

Jade's Pov

I woke up to the sound of my father yelling at my mom. I hate him. I hate everybody, except my mom. She doesn't deserve this. People think I'm a mean person, that I hate almost everyone and everything for no reason. Well, I have a reason. I got out of bed and looked at my clothes in the corner piled up. I picked up the jeans I wore yesterday and quickly threw them on. Most of my clothes is already dirty. I picked up a black tank top and topped it off with my favorite leather jacket. I laced on my combat boots and quickly combed my hair. I ran downstairs avoiding the yelling from my parents' room. I heard a cry of pain coming from my mother. It hurt knowing she was getting put through hell. She made me promise that I wouldn't interrupt any fights she had with my dad. She didn't want me getting hurt. I had to live with the pain. I learned to love pain, but not this kind. When I started going out with Beck, I actually was a bit happy. I never really showed it but, Beck made me smile when things were the worst at home. Even though he will never know the pain, he understood all my problems and listened to me. The only problem I've never told him was about my abusive father. I never dared to tell Beck about that. I shook my head trying to clear the thought of Beck out of my head.

I sat on the kitchen table eating an apple. My mom came running downstairs, tears in her eyes. I instantly stood up and hugged her. "I love you Jade." she said while stroking my hair and rocking me, "I love you too mommy." Most people would laugh if they knew that I called my mom mommy. Most people I know treat their mom's horribly, it makes me want to punch them. "Where's dad?" I asked, "He passed out. He was drunk again." she explained, "What a surprise." I said sarcastically. "Jade, you'll be late to school. You should start walking." my mom would take me to school, but she can't drive. "I don't want to leave you here with him." I told her, everyday I'm scared of going to school in fear of what my father might do. What's even scarier is walking home, who knows what I'll see once I walk through that door. "I'll be fine Jade." I nodded my head, but before leaving I asked her, "Why do you stay with him? Why can't we just call the cops or something?!" This question has been bugging me for ages. "Jade, that's something you'll just never understand. You should get to school now." she answered, I'm not five, I'm seventeen. I think I would understand. I decided to keep my mouth shut and turned towards the door.

Once I got to school I was, surprisingly, early. I walked over to Dawn who's locker is near mine. "Hey." I said, opening my locker, "Hey Jade." Dawn said. Dawn was eating fries, I'm still hungry. The bell rang and we walked to first period. When we got there I noticed Beck in the corner, Cat sitting next to him, then Andre and Tori. I walked over to Andre and told him to move. He sighed, got up, and sat on the other side of Tori. "So you wanted to sit next to me huh?" Tori asked annoyingly, "Nope. Wanted to sit next to Cat." I said gesturing to Cat who is giggling at... who knows what. Alex, Amber, William, and Sam walked in and sat in the row behind us. "Where's Maddi?" Cat said tugging my jacket,"I don't know." I said simply, "She's at home Cat." Dawn said from behind us. "Why?! Is she sick? Did she die?" Cat asked, Cat overreacts way too much, I worry about her sometimes. Cat is the only other person I've opened up to other than my mom and Beck. "No, she isn't dead. She got suspended." I smirked at this. Maybe Maddi isn't that bad after all. I certainly like her more than Tori. "Why?" Cat asked, before Dawn could answer Sikowitz climbed through the window and started his lesson.

Dawn's Pov

I walked with Amber and Alex to lunch, "Dawn, have you figured out what were doing tonight?" asked Alex. "Yeah, were just gonna go to the movies and the mall." I said, "You guys better not drag me into those stupid Hollister stores. They smell like.. rotten hell." Amber said. She's got a point. "Fine. I'm probably just going to be in the food court." I said, causing them to laugh. When we got to the table everyone was already there. "Hey Dawn, you should call Maddi and tell her what we're doing." Amber said. "Sure." I replied, I took out my phone and dialed Maddi's number. "Hello?" came Maddi's voice through the speaker. I put the phone on speaker. "Hey Maddi." I said, "You are now on speaker, I repeat you are now on speaker." Cat said, Jade glared at her. "Hey guys." Maddi replied. "How's the rebel doing?" Sam asked teasing her. "Shut up Sam." she replied, "Maddi, were going to be going to the mall and the movies later, sound good?" I asked her. "Sure." she replied, "Have you asked Mason yet?" Tori asked, really? She could have forgotten. "Um no. But I will, just not now." she replied. Tori sighed, I feel like I'm winning at some imaginary competiton we're competing in. I hear a loud thump and what sounds like a muffled scream. We looked at eachother in confusion. "Hey Maddi you still there?" William asked, no answer. A couple seconds later we hear her say, "Hello?" I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. "What happened? Did a theif come into your house?!" Cat practically yelled into the mic. "No sorry. My uh, dad fell down the stairs." she said, "Is he okay?" Andre asked, "Yeah he's fine. I gotta go guys. Bye." she hung up before we could say anything else. "Ok. That wasn't weird at all." Beck said. The bell rang and we headed towards sixth period.

Maddi's Pov

My dad is drunk. Again. I'm still in the basement. I sat cross legged with my phone in my hand. I was fighting with myself. Wether I should call Mason or not. I decided to man up and call him. Even though I'm not a man... "Hello?" Shit, what do I say. "Hey Mason." I said stupidly, "Oh hey Maddi!" He's always so confident, I wish I could be like that. "Hey., I was wondering if you'd like to hang out with Sarah, Carrie, Jake and I tonight. Some of my friends from my new school will be there too." I babbled, didn't I. Shit I babbled. He laughed his adorable laugh and said, "Sure. I'd love to. What are we going to do?" I smiled to myself. "We're going to the movies and then to the mall." I said still smiling really stupidly, but he doesn't know that. "Cool. What movie?" maybe he wants to keep talking with me. I certainly don't wanna hang up. "I don't know. We're going to choose at the movies." I replied. "So how have you been? I haven't heard from you in a while." he said making my heart melt. "I've been good. How bout you?" I asked trying to keep the conversation going. "It's been awesome. I'm captian of the football team, and you know how much I love football." he does love his football. Mason is new to his school, just like me. He moved to California around the same time my dad had to transfer jobs. Being captian of the football team and being new to school, that's quite an accomplishment. "Do girls drool over you over there too?" I teased, he chuckled. The girls in our school in Nevada were all sluts. And of course they went after Mason. "Not as much as they did in Nevada. Why, you jealous?" Mason and I always teased each other like this. I was always nervous, but everytime we talked he would make me feel better, that's when I would just be confident and talk to him. Normally. "Sorry pretty boy, I'm not one of those girls." I so am. We talked for another hour. After I hung up my heart fluttered and I felt my stomach twist in knots. He even offered to drive me to the movies, to the mall, and back home. Of course I said yes. Why does he effect me this much?

Amber's Pov

It currently 6 pm. The time the gang agreed to meet up at the mall. I was still sitting on my porch waiting for Alex to come pick me up. We are going to be late. When he arrived I ran to the car and lightly smacked him on the chest. "What was that for?" he asked in mock pain, "For being late." I simply said. "Amber, this doesn't just happen on it's own." he said gesturring towards himself. "Well maybe next time you might want to do a better job." I teased him. He rolled his eyes playfully. We got to the mall and most of the gang was already there. We were missing Maddi and her friends. "Hurry." I told Alex as he tried to find parking. "Well damn Amber, I can't clear the parking lot." (A/N: Re-read that in Kelso's voice..) "Shut up!" I said. We found parking and walked towards the group. "You guys are late." Jade pointed out, "Well Maddi's still not here." I said. "She had to go pick up her friends from the airport." Tori said. "Whatever. How much longer do we have to wait?" Alex asked, "Only like ten or five minutes." Beck answered, "Fuck." I muttered, they all looked at me. "What? I'm not very patient." I said they all nodded and shrugged as if agreeing with me.

Ten minutes later Maddi and her friends showed up. "Hey guys sorry we're late." Maddi apoligized. "It's fine." Tori said with a smile. "Yeah whatever, can we go watch the movie now?" "What movie?" Carrie asked, "Pitch Perfect!" Cat yelled. We all smiled at our red headed friend and walked into the mall. We bought our tickets and I couldn't help but notice that Tori kept smirking at Dawn. So, being me, I decided to interrupt. I walked over to Dawn and asked, "Why does Tori keep smirking at you? It's fucking creepy." She laughed at the last part and said, "Well, you know how I want Wiliam and Maddi together?" I nodded knowing were this is going, "She wants her with Mason, and the odds are in her favor." she explained. "I've got an idea." I said, "What is it?" poor Dawn she probably thinks I'm going to help her, "Stop medalling and let Maddi be with who she wants?" I suggested. "Or?" she asked, I sighed. There is no way to change this girls mind. "You are impossible." I whispered. She thanked me.

Sam's Pov

After watching the movie we decided to go eat. I walked and talked to Maddi's friend Sarah, she's really funny. Dawn walked over to us and put her arm around me. "Do you have any food Sam?" I shook my head and said, "Sorry." She squinted at me and looked over at Sarah, "Do you have any food?" she also shook her head. I laughed at Dawn and put my arm around her, "We're almost to the food court." She looked at me and said, "I wanted food for the walk to the food court. Walking makes me hungry." I laughed again, I bent down in front of her and said, "Hop on." She did as she was told and giggled. "You guys are such a cute couple." Sarah said, I laughed yet again. "I know right." I answered before Dawn could deny it. "Shut up Sam. We aren't dating." she told her, "Oh sorry. But you should, I'm just saying." she replied. "Nah, I'll pass." Dawn said, "Rude much?" I teased. She hit the top of my head with her fist. "Shut up."

Tori's Pov

I just had the craziest idea. What if we go to the beach? Nobody's going to be there this time of year. We could have a bonfire or something. We managed to find a table big enough for all of us. When we sat down I suggested my idea. They all liked it, but Jade looked a bit hesitant. "I don't know. My mom needs my help with something." She looked a bit nervous, I've never seen her like this, "C'mon it'll be fun." Beck told her. I'll repeat that. Beck told Jade to go to the beach because it'll be fun. He obviously wants her to go. "Fine. I'll go." Aww. The group cheered. We ate our food and then hopped into our cars and drove off.

Maddi's Pov

Today has been the best day ever. I'm reunited with my best friends. "I've missed you guys so much!" Carrie said squishing us into a group hug. "You see Sarah and I everyday." Jake said laughing. "Yeah, but not Mason and Maddi. Or do you not want a hug?" she asked giggling. "No! I want hug." he said pulling her into a death grip. "You guys are too cute." Sarah said, if you haven't figured out yet, they're dating. "We know." Carrie replied. We laughed at them and walked towards the car. "I call shot gun!" I yelled running towards Mason's car. "Of course." Carrie said, they all know about my huge crush on Mason except, well, Mason. Once they all got to the car I was already strapped in with my shoes off. "Well, someone's excited." Mason said, "Shut up! I love the beach and you know that." He smiled at me and turned the car on. He fucking smiled at me. He is to fucking perfect. My phone buzzed with a text from William. You know how to get to Venice beach right? Cause that's were we're going. I love Venice. Yeah I do. Thanks for being concerned over me Willy. :). Haha. Willy, silly name. No problemo Maddison. I know your full name. Don't make me use it. I laughed and texted back, You don't know my full name? Do you? I really don't like my full name. I just dislike it. I don't know, Maddison Rose Anderson, why don't you tell me? It's on Willy, it's on. Whatever, William Evan Oliver. I texted him until we got to the beach. Once we were there each time we made eye contact we couldn't help but laugh. He's so weird. That's why he's awesome.

Well that'll be all. Next chapter is just going to take place in the beach. Thanks for reading!
