A/N sorry guys accidentally posted the wrong chapterthis is chapter 1

College Christmas

"hey Jade, we're friends right" asks Tori

"that depends on the question" says Jade

"you remember high school grad where Cat came over to talk to me then left the school" says Tori

"yeah, she didn't even stay to pick up her diploma, what did you say to her to make her leave" asks Jade

"I didn't say anything, she confessed feelings for me, said she got a record deal and had to go to the north part of Cali, you remember when I came out I said I'd been scared to do so since I was thirteen, before I could utter a single syllable in response she was gone" says Tori

"ok I see where this is going, though why bring this topic up now its been almost three years" asks Jade

"because she told me she loved me with all her heart, now she has a new number, and she's engaged to this guy" cries Tori

"wait you didn't get her new number, that is suspicious, I'll give her a call" says Jade

"no I didn't, I've been texting her old one for about two and a half years pouring out my heart and asking her to call me, only to get a text back last week saying they have no idea who this Catarina person is and to stop texting them" cries Tori

"you go lay down, I'm going to call her right now" says Jade

"ok roomie" says Tori as she heads to bed and Jade calls Cat

"hey Cat, we need to talk" says Jade

"about what, we talked yesterday" asks Cat

"Tori, why didn't you give Tori your new number" asks Jade

"I was afraid, I'd opened a door and I was afraid she'd yell at me" says Cat

"oh Cat, she'd been texting your old number for two and a half years pouring her heart out and asking you to call her, you did more harm than good" says Jade

"so she does love me then" asks Cat

"I'd assume so, despite her and I being roommates I'm always the last person she talks to about stuff like that, normally she goes to Andre or if she's desperate Robbie, she's the only one who didn't get a scholarship, Andre got one for music, Robbie got a tech one and I got an arts one, what I do know is she's seriously thinking about dropping out and hiding somewhere nobody can find her, did you hear about the Hollywood Arts virtual mini reunion" says Jade

"ya I already took the time off my music for it, I'm flying down to Cali U for it, I can't wait to see Tori again" says Cat

"she's not going to be here, she declined to be present at the virtual mini reunion, said she already made plans to help some Puerto-Rican charity and had already booked her flight, she leaves in two days" says Jade

"can't she cancel" asks Cat

"she made a commitment Cat, you know she doesn't like to back down from those, besides she's not doing well in her classes, she's failed the past two mini exams, she's in the final stretch of her getting her teaching diploma so she can be a music teacher and her professor isn't too happy with her prized student's academic performance, her dad put so much money into Tori's college education, Tori will fold sooner or later Cat, it's only a matter of time before she gives up on her dreams, with how popular you are in the charts Cat she will never want to be an artist, she's never wanted to take the spotlight from you" says Jade

"I had no idea I had so much of an influence on her, she always seemed so grounded and never wanted to take a side in anything" says Cat

"you confessing your love for her then running away before she could say anything changed that, her fellow teacher to be students call her the bisexual stuffy queen, she spends any money she made from her part time job on stuffed animals Cat, she's become you and from my perspective it's ripping her apart, she wants to be with you so bad she's copying many of your behaviors and while it seems to calm her down her professors aren't impressed" says Jade as she receives a text from Robbie

"please tell her I want to see her" asks Cat

"low chance of that now, Robbie just texted me, Tori just lost her standing to be allowed on campus, the whole Puerto-Rican charity thing was set up by Cali U so chances are that was cancelled too, she already paid for her ticket anyway so she HAS to be on that flight but now she won't have a purpose there, so if I had to guess she's packing up and not coming back, anyway I have a lunch 'date' with Andre so I'll call you after ok" says Jade

"ok" says Cat as she hangs up and Tori walks over bags packed

"I assume Robbie told you I'm done here, I'm no longer welcome as Cal U, I'd spent the last of my money on that plane ticket so once I'm in Puerto Rico I guess I'm there to stay I guess" says Tori

"where are you going to live there" asks Jade concerned

"no idea, though it's none of your concern what happens to me now, it's where my family is from so I'm sure I will find something" says Tori as she leaves

8 days later as Cat arrives

"hey little red how are you" asks Andre

"I've been better, do any of you know where Tori lives now, I spoke to Trina and she said Tori cut off her phone service when she arrived in Puerto-Rico" asks Cat

"not a clue" says Andre

"wait I think I know, I found a site for a company that lists a Victoria Vega as an employee, the only wrinkle is that is says she only speaks Spanish" says Robbie

"then how do you know it's her" asks Cat

"because some of the info is a sprinkle of you Cat, plus she used a picture I took, trust me it's her" says Robbie

"what company" asks Cat

"one minute I'm translating" says Robbie as he hurriedly translates the site

"either way there is no way she's making a livable wage" says Jade

"the best translation I could get is islands clean" says Robbie

"it's most likely limpiar las islas de la naturaleza, or make nature's islands clean, they have a massive UN allowed land claim to keep the islands from Puerto Rico to Grenada clean and the surrounding water free of garbage and trash, they use solar powered boats to get around so no gas or oil issues, what's her position" says Jade

"from the words that can be certain are translated correctly it's some sort of Lemon shark thing" says Robbie

"I speak Spanish let me see the site" says Jade as she takes the Pear Pad away from Robbie

"hey that pad is expensive" says Robbie as Jade's jaw DROPS

"what is it" asks Cat

"it says her job title is classified" Says Jade

"classified by who" asks Andre

"the federal government Andre who else, aside from a short bio from everyone on the site everything is classified" says Jade

"Officially Puerto Rico isn't a state of America despite being allowed to move freely between there and the mainland USA" says Andre

"my guess would be that the United Nations asked for things to be classified limpiar las islas de la naturaleza, as they are funded by them, for example shark fins, if poachers or people knew somebody was working around a large amount of sharks they could be vulnerable to bribes" says Jade
