Okay, sorry for not posting anything for a couple weeks, I have been working on a project. To anyone that wonders, I think I'm only going to have one more chapter on this story. I'm just having a hard time writing anything for it. But I'm going to start a different story up soon (when I think of a new idea) but I hope you enjoy this chapter. Maybe? =/
A week had passed since Tori learned about what Cat did to her brother. She decided to stay quiet, and it seemed like everything was going back to normal. Cat was recovering from her injuries, yet the police still were looking into her case, Jade was just as bitter as ever, Andre was still himself and whatever feelings he seemed to have for Cat were gone, Beck was still his normal self, and Tori was trying to get her lines down for a play. The only person that was different was Robbie, and that was just because he had a girlfriend, who actually thought he was cool.
School had gotten out, and everyone went to Tori's house. There really was no reason they were all there, but they just seemed to end up there as if there was nowhere else to go. Tori, not knowing really what to do, suggested they should work on the play. Andre, Jade, and Cat weren't in the play, but Andre was doing the music for the play. And Cat and Jade could just practice someone else's lines.
No one really had any other ideas, except Jade, but her idea was to go in Tori's room and cut up all of her clothes, so they ended up practicing. Around nine, everyone left except Andre. He wanted to finish up a song before leaving.
"So how are you Tori? You've seemed quiet the past week." Andre was deeply concerned about Tori, and she was able to hear it in his voice.
Tori took a few moments to respond. "No, I'm fine, just I have had a lot on my mind. You can understand that right?" She was lying, Tori only had two things in her mind. One was the play, the other was how she would ask Cat about her brother. Tori didn't really want to wait long, but she wasn't to be alone with Cat without it being awkward.
Andre shrugged and went back to playing the piano. After another thirty minutes, they song was finished, and Andre left the house.
Tori went up to her room and laid down, not really having anything else to do. She didn't want to fall asleep, but she did anyway.
The next was a gloomy and wet. It wasn't raining hard, but it was raining enough for traffic to be bad. Trina never stopped honking the horn the whole car ride. Tori had never been more thankful to be at school before in her life. She hurried into the building, not wanting to stay in the rain too long. "Hey Cat." The red haired girl appeared from the stairs as Tori walked by.
"Hi!" The girl was in a cheery mood. Something made Tori ask the girl if she could come help her with something at the black box theater. The girl agreed and they walked to the theater together. There was about twenty minutes before class would start, so Tori thought there would be more than enough time to ask.
Like normal, no one was in the theater. "Can I ask you something Cat?"
"Sure, I love it when people ask me things!" Cat couldn't help smiling. It almost hurt Tori knowing what she was about to do would change that.
There was a hesitation. Tori almost regretted what she was going to ask, but she figured Cat would just deny it, so it would be fine. Tori was too into her thoughts, she didn't hear Jade walk in behind her, and Cat gave no indications of the dark haired girls presence.
Taking a deep breath, Tori finally asked the question that would lead to the answer she was looking for. At least she hoped it would. "Cat…what did you do to your brother that killed him?"
A large growl from behind sent a chill down Tori's spine. She turned to see Jade, who looked like she was about to kill someone. Backing up, Tori backed into Cat. She turned back really quick and saw the pain in the girls face. She was already regretting what she asked, but she was going to stand her ground no matter what.
"I am going to kill him." Jade hissed the words out. She was talking about Andre.
"He didn't say anything Jade." Tori also sounded annoyed. "Now Cat, tell me what happened." When she was speaking to Cat, her voice grew ten times softer.
The red haired girl sat on the floor and looked down. She was trying to think of what to say. Jade took a death grip on Tori's wrist and was about to pull her out of the room. "You don't need to answer this loser." Her tone was its normal harshness.
"Jade…" Cat's voice trailed off. She didn't sound too sad anymore. "It doesn't really matter. Tori knows the truth somewhat, no matter what we do, she will still know. No do you really want to keep going on with the secret, or not? It's already taking enough of a toll on the both of us. Besides, it's Tori, I don't really see her actually telling anyone. Let go of her hand before it turns purple."
Tori looked at her hand, with was now a bright red. It soon regain its color after Jade left go. "Fine. But you are telling her. Good luck." Jade stormed out of the room leaving Tori alone with Cat.
It seemed odd to Tori that Jade would just leave, but she pushed it aside and sat down so she could be level with Cat when she spoke. "So Cat, what did happen all of those years ago?"
