Hi so here is another chapter, I didn't realise until I checked that we are working our way through season 3 really fast and soon we will be onto season 4.

This chapter does spend more time on the relationship between Jade and Tori and doesn't go into depth with the relationship between Andre and Tori but don't worry, this is just one of the flashbacks that will occur for the reminder of the season so don't worry.

I am not a medical expert so I don't know if everything is accurate keep that in mind.

Disclaimer-Nothing is mine.

Please Read and Review.

Next Chapter-April Fools Blank-As Tori goes back to school she doesn't realise the events happening around her and in a flashback Tori and Ayden regroup after their accident.

Ayden

Chapter 38-Tori And Jade's Playdate

Contains flashbacks. As Tori and Jade go out as part of an assignment and in an attempt to get their lives back on track meanwhile flashbacks (italics) show the first part of the aftermath of the accident.

Tori's Point of View

It took nearly two months for the three of us to be well enough to go back to school. Cat had shattered her left kneecap and had to have it rebuilt using a combination of metal and screws. She would struggle to dance on stage for longer than five minutes before taking a break but I was relieved to see that her happy personality had not changed despite the accident. According to Robbie (who had never left her side) the only thing she was upset about was that her jeans had been ruined when they'd cut her out of them.

Jade on the other hand was a different story. She had been flung forwards and had a severe concussion. Glass had fallen into her lap and a large piece of it had pierced her left side so deep that it had nicked her ovary. Despite the Doctor's best intentions she had to have it removed. Jade had been subdued afterwards before gradually becoming her usually bitter self. If she was upset about her chances of conceiving naturally had diminished somewhat she didn't show it.

I on the other hand had been lucky. The glass had managed to avoid both bone and tissue. It had left a long scar down the sides of my shoulder and I had several cuts from the glass still dotting my face but the three of us were alive and we all knew how lucky that was.

A wall of understanding seem to spring up between Andre, Robbie and Beck. They never tried to ask questions and vice versa. They had never told us what had happened when they had rushed to the hospital and we never told them about the accident. We never told them how we felt about it, I suspected for the first few weeks everyone was so emotionally raw about what had happened that we all pretended it didn't happen.

The school had been more than considerate with what had happened. With three students down they couldn't appear to be more, especially with my father and Jade's back in town and both of them angry. How they were angry at Hollywood Arts I didn't understand but Trina told me quietly one afternoon that they were both really just angry with themselves.

For the first couple of months I did schoolwork in my bed, my shoulder was too stiff to move much and it made carrying Ayden difficult. Trina had for once been a big help. She had accepted the role of big sister perfectly and therefore had ensured that Ayden was getting all the attention he needed, especially in those first few days when I had been unable to play or stay awake for longer than a few hours.

The first thing I was aware of after I blacked out the first time was the noise. There was beeping that had started out gentle at first but as I became more and more conscious I found was getting more and more annoying as time went on.

Memories started to come back to me. My name was Tori, I had been in a car accident with my best friends Cat and Jade and I had rang Andre when I had thought I was going to die.

And I had no idea where I was or where my son was.

It was with that thought in mind that I managed to open my eyes and force myself (or try to) into a sitting position.

Someone shifted next to me as I groaned as pain shot through my shoulder.

"Easy" said a voice I knew as intimately as I knew Ayden's little words. That voice as warm as melted caramel and still had that effect on me. There was warm hands on my skin and they were pushing me back into a lying position. It was Andre.

He looked tired and had I been in the mood to ask I might have asked why but I had to admit that I was too tired already to wonder why Andre was looking at me like that. He did look exhausted and his hands seemed to be shaking somewhat as my eyes fluttered closed again, with an inhuman effort I managed to force them open again.

"Ayden?" I asked after I had struggled to water my mouth.

"Safe" Andre said catching onto the meaning without me actually having to finish my sentence.

"He's with Trina, she's been keeping him at home, he's wondering where you are but I think she's handling it pretty well...I'll call her and ask her to bring him tonight" he caught my expression and nodded.

"Jade? Cat?" I asked finally.

"Alive" Andre said grimly. "It was touch and go for the three of you, you've had two surgeries on your shoulder, Jade's had three and Cat's had three that I know about and that's without the physio attached" he caught my expression and shrugged.

"Beck and Robbie are with them, I stayed with you"

"Why?" I said though I thought I knew the answer. And the look on Andre's face showed me that he knew that I knew the answer and was only playing along because I was in the hospital.

"Why'd you think?"

When we got back to school Andre, Beck and Robbie were at our sides when the whispers started, Beck was personally responsible for shouting at a freshman who whispered about Jade to the point where she ended up in the nurses with hysteria and Jade and me were given the leads in the new play Sikowitz was showing.

Which is how we ended up in Nozu fending off the attention of two guys and both pretending that we didn't feel safer when Andre and Beck were around to help us face off all the stares that came with surviving.

It was Jade that suggested singing.

It was Jade that grabbed my hand and pulled me up with her.

It was a release unlike no other when the two of us finished the song. We had survived the perils of my ex-boyfriend and the father of my child and we had survived an accident where I knew that we both had nightmares about on top of the ones we had about Cameron. Or the nightmares that I knew Jade had and the ones that she pretended didn't exist.

I realised that in all the confusion after we'd finished and accepted our applause we were still be holding hands (neither one us remember grasping each other) and Jade followed my gaze to look at our linked fingers. For a second she looked torn before she squeezed them suddenly and I nodded. Jade and I had always been in-sync about certain things regardless of the fact that we had fought and still fought like cats and dogs on a wet roof. She knew what I was thinking and I swallowed.

I wasn't the only one who was thinking constantly about those words.

"Why'd you think?"

And a little bit of Jade/Beck and Cat/Robbie to tide you all over...and yeah, a little bit.

I will update as soon as I can, let me know what you think.
