Tori's POV
I'm still very upset. My parents done give two hoots about me and it upsets me. Jade managed to calm me down last night. Right now, I am eating my lunch with Sinjin. It was the only space available as none of my friends were out on lunch yet. "Sinjin, move." Jade instructed. Sinjin did as told and Jade sat down next to me. "What the fuck happened to you?" I asked as I saw Jade's black eye. "I'll tell you later." Jade said. She seems upset. "Jade, I know that I'm not in the best place at the moment but that doesn't mean I'm not worried. You've got a black eye!" I exclaimed. "I will tell you. But not here. People gossip." Jade said. I nodded. "Okay, I understand." I said. "So, can we talk during the Cow Wow?" Jade asked. "Oh shit, I forgot that was tonight." I said. "Hey Tori, Jade. Tori, I got you a nice outfit for the cowwow. Try it on when we go home and see what you think." Trina said. Beck has been really nice to me. He's even offered to make me sandwiches, he doesn't have to. "Okay, Treen. Have you got a date for the Cow Wow?" I asked. "No actually. I haven't." Trina said. Jade and I nodded in agreement. "Who's Cat taking? I know Robbie tried to ask her but she kept running away." Jade said. "Uh, I think she's going with Andre." I said. I didn't know that for sure but Andre told me that he has a date tonight. "Yeah, she is." Trina confirmed. She got up and left. Then, I saw my dad. He was stoned. "Oh my god." I said in shock. "Is that your dad?" Jade asked. "Yup." I said. "Hey baby girl." My dad said. "Dad, what are you doing here?" I asked. "That's no way to speak to your father." Dad said and got taken out. "Are you okay?" Jade asked. I nodded. I'm fed up of him being stoned because of the drugs. I still want to know why Jade has a black eye.
Jade's POV
I do want to tell Tori about why I've got a black eye. I'm gonna tell her at the Cow Wow. I'll tell you a bit about it. Basically, I got home at 3am this morning and my parents weren't happy. They've been beating me up recently. This morning, my dad hit me with a cane.
Flashback
I woke up, got dressed, put my jewellery on and went downstairs to wait for Andre to come pick me up. "So, Jadelyn. We want answers." Mom said, looking pissed off. She kicked me. "What?" I hissed. My parents probably won't be happy when they learn that I was at Tori's. They don't like Tori. They think she's too prissy but I don't care. Me and Tori are both mistreated by our parents and we can relate to each other's problems. Mom struck her hand to my face. "Don't speak to me like that!" Mom screamed as I held my cheek in pain. "Jadelyn West!" My father roared. "What?" I hissed. "You still haven't told us why you were out till 3am!" Mom screamed. "You won't be leaving for school until we get an explanation for your actions." Dad said. "I didn't do anything wrong." I said. "ANSWER THE QUESTION YOU FUCKING BITCH!!" Mom screamed. "I was at Tori's." I explained and my father was beyond pissed. "Jadelyn, what have we told you?" My mom asked. "You haven't told me anything, you've just treated me like shit." I said. "What did you say?" Dad hissed. "We don't want you hanging out with Tori." My mom said. "She's a bad influence on you." Dad said. At least she's better than them. Dad grabbed his cane and hit me with it. You could hear a crack. Then, I had a black eye. "I'm leaving for school." I said and waited for Andre.
End of flashback
I don't know why my dad and mom have to do this to me, but they do. If things get really bad, I'm gonna have to leave but I don't want to do that just yet. It was time for Sikowitz. I sat down next to Tori like I always do. "Jade, Trina said that you can come and get ready for the Cow Wow at ours." Tori told me and I nodded. I need to tell her the truth.
