That Night
Tori's p o v
"Tori
My head was still clogged with sleep. I snatched the phone off the hook.
Jade's voice was on the other end shakily sounding far away.
Jade what happened? What's wrong?
I was suddenly wide awake sitting up something wasn't right ever since her mom contacted my dad last night saying she regretted what she did and wanted to see Jade.
Jade had no desire to see her talk to her or have any contact with her but my dad thought it would be good for her to try to work out some of her family issues.
We were all shocked when she called last night and said she was sleeping over but no one questioned it.
I had a bad feeling about it all night but no one listened to me.
Jade where are you are you okay?
Silence my heart was pounding hard I felt it squeeze why was she pausing?
Jade what's your mom's address?
I'm not there Tori
Jade it's okay I won't judge you I just need to know where you are
Tori I don't know where I am
What do you mean
Tori I'm wasted
Can you please pick me up I'm in trouble
I'm calling Andre
No!
Jade I have to I don't drive and if I wake Trina the whole neighborhood will know
Crap
It's okay Jade he's your friend to he cares
Look around take a deep breath there has to be some sign some clue as to where you are
I heard her take a deep breath and the phone got some static as she looked around.
63103 Sunland street
West Tujunga
Alright Jade stay calm go inside will be there shortly
I called Andre's cell and he came right away sneaking out was tough but I did it somehow I didn't want to tell my parents till I knew what happened.
Once I was safely inside the car I breathed a sigh of relief as he leaned forward and got his reward.
Thanks for coming babe
No prob Tor let's go rescue our damsel in distress
Don't let Jade ever hear you say that
We laughed.
West Tujunga is not a nice neighborhood it's filled with rundown buildings burned out cars, gunfire is always ringing out somewhere. Tonight it looked like a fire had been started smoke poured out of one building but the fire department wasn't anywhere to be seen.
Andre gripped the steering wheel tightly he was just as nervous as I was what made it worse was how dark it was and how cold.
There Andre
I pointed to an old run down building which has people streaming in and out girls in short skirts that barely covered their assets halter tops guys who ranged from pimp looking to scuzzy and in between.
Jade looked so lost and broken she got in quietly her face hidden but damn she must of poured the booze on her she reeked of it and weed.
She was half hidden in her over sized black hoodie Andre looked at me her I squeezed his arm.
Gunfire rung out she ducked down in the car as Andre slammed on the gas speeding out of this area as fast as the car would go.
Inside the house I kissed Andre as Jade went upstairs. She looked awful so pale makeup smeared her checks red bloodied her clothes had been ripped she had cuts all over her face.
My heart squeezed as Andre hugged me asking me if I would be okay I nodded watching him go hating that he was leaving.
Locking the door I took a deep breath sighing as I went upstairs.
Jade was curled up on my bed not wanting to risk waking Trina and facing questions. Her knees were curled up to her chest. I locked the door.
I didn't know what to say she had baggy black jeans on with chains a black t shirt on advertising her fav band Bloody Scissoring.
Than the hoodie.
Jade you need to get dry your soaked
No answer I couldn't force her she'd kill me if I tried to help her I went to my bathroom and grabbed a towel.
Holding it I turned away giving her privacy for the longest time she lay there unmoving so I slide next to her.
Jade I know were not close
I know you say you hate me
You can say whatever
Silence
But I am your friend Jade like it or not
I can see your hurting
That hurts me
Your a good person Jade
Whatever is going on you can talk to me
Jade looked at me lifting her eyes up to me.
She said she wanted to talk
Didn't she want to?
She shock her head.
It was a trick
He wanted to see me
Who's he?
No answer
I hate them
I placed my hand on hers..she turned away her fist curled up in a tight ball.
He wouldn't leave me alone
Who Jade?
He came into my room every night
Who Jade?
He didn't listen
Who Jade?
What did he do to you?
Why do I bother Vega
I should of killed myself
Jade no! Nothings that bad
She looked at me got up shaking her head going into the bathroom locking the door, leaving me stunned and freaking out inside what was she planning on doing?
