It's been nearly a month since the breakup. Jade had pulled herself away from most activities involving Tori. This gave her more time to spend time with Cat, who was fun to spend time with. She was a nice escape from the feelings even if it was mostly watching cartoons with her friend.

The week started off as normal, Beck making out with Alyssa while Jade played on her phone close by before making an entrance into school. He had stopped asking questions every day since Jade snapped at him begging for him to drop it. It still didn't stop him from bringing it up occasionally.

"So, still not talking to Tori?"

"Beck."

"What? She's my friend. You're my friend. Friends talk."

Jade glared at him as they walked into school. "She's not my friend."

"She should be. Tori is a good friend to have. She's very helpful."

"Think Sikowitz is going to release the roles to Steamboat Suzy?" Jade asked changing the subject hoping Beck would leave the topic of Tori alone.

He sighed before answering. "I don't know. You just want to feel like you're ahead of Tori."

"That's one benefit of the lead."

It took three days for Sikowitz to finally release the roles. She couldn't claim her victory with Beck by her side. Her victory that didn't come because as soon as Jade asked, Sikowitz ran away in fear. Usually, Jade would have enjoyed that, but her name was listed next to understudy of Tori took everything she had hoped to win away.

Kicking a chair, Jade let out a little steam as her friends asked about the lead role.

Seeing her ex's eyes grow concerned and apologetic as she read her name. "Me."

"Yeah, her, that!" Jade wanted to say multiple other words, but she knew it would have ended with Cat crying, and probably Tori too, and everyone in the school knowing she dated Tori Vega.

"So, what role did you get?" Cat's voice rang out breaking Jade's glare on Tori.

"I got cheated and humiliated." Jade said as she refocused her glare ignoring what Sinjin was saying and as Andre revealed her role. Of course, her sweet ex didn't know what an understudy was making Jade lose her temper again as she threw her water bottle.

Andre explained to her in much nicer terms than Jade. "Just in case you get sick."

"Yeah, in case you get sick, hurt, go missing, or get hit by a bus!" With that Jade turned and walked out of the classroom seeking her teacher to get the roles changed.

The next day, Jade was with her friends as they discussed their lives. She was still upset over the role despite venting to Beck all night, who told her not to try anything. Once again, Jade was able to get some anger out over smashing an apple Andre was eating for breakfast.

"She's still made Tori got the lead role." Rex's annoying voice explained. "Want to talk about it, baby?"

It was just in time for Tori to walk up and greet their friends giving Cat a nice laugh. She happily talked to them before asking if they wanted to go out after school for sushi.

"Not with you." Jade said over by herself making Tori frown a bit. Jade tried to hold her smile back as Tori's phone rang from a mysterious number. She watched her ex answer the phone and get excited over Lady Gaga offering her a spot in her new music video.

Then Robbie had to remind her of the play.

"Come on, you're going turn down a job in a real music video for a stupid play at school?"

"Yeah, you're right."

"Cool, then Jade can play your part in the play, and everyone will be happy!" Cat said with a gleeful smile.

Cat's sentence allowed Tori to catch up to Jade's plan. "Yeah, she would, wouldn't she?" Tori said before smiling as she raised her phone back up to her ear and spoke as she was still naïve to her plan before blowing a whistle in her phone. Tori heard Sinjin scream from down the hall and started running towards him.

Sinjin confessed immediately, and Jade didn't blame him. Tori could be scary. He was disappointed to hear that he was going to continue looking the same as he was as he dropped his gaze in shame.

"You hired Sinjin to trick me just so you could steal my part?"

"Oh, are you kidding me? I'm not going to stand here and listen to you accuse me of things I clearly did!" Jade said before she started walking away from Tori and Sinjin. It irritated her that her ex was too smart, but that just meant Jade had to get creative.

At rehearsals before the play night, Jade had done something she should have done for Tori while they were dating, ordered her flowers to be delivered conveniently before showtime. Of course, Jade would have ordered flowers that would be safe for her, but times change.

Jade sat quietly watching her friends rehearse as she sipped her coffee waiting. She did have to admit that Tori still looked beautiful up on stage and was a talented singer.

Finally, the delivery guy arrived right as their number was ending.

Tori had a smile on as she came over to inspect the flowers, but Trina, the caring sister, yelled out in time for Tori to back away before a reaction could begin. Tori and their friends discussed who would have bought her bush daises before Tori looked at Jade.

Approaching her with a glare, she looked down at her. "How did you know I was allergic to bush daises?"

Smirking as she sipped coffee. "I do my research, Vega."

"Listen to me. I am doing this play. I auditioned. I got the lead, and I'm doing it." Every word, Tori got closer and closer. Jade would have loved this a month ago, but it stung now.

Sikowitz broke them apart as Tori sat on the other side of chairs.

While Sikowitz discussed with Trina about her role, Lane ran into the auditorium announcing Robbie was in the hospital. He explained that Rex told him that a car was in Robbie's stomach. Tori and Cat asked for permission to go see their ill friend.

As everyone was about to leave, Jade stayed there sipping her coffee. This just got easier to steal Tori's role. If they were going to leave her there, she was prepared.

"Wait, Jade." Tori said turning around before walking out the door. "Is this another trick so you can take my role?"

"What, no?"

"How do I know you're not lying?"

Sighing, "Fine, I'll go, you stay."

"Ok," Tori said processing, "Wait!"

"What?" Jade whined before turning to face her ex.

In the middle of Tori trying to explain a complex plan that Jade clearly didn't have, Sikowitz yelled at both of them. They both nodded in agreement and went to the hospital with their friends.

At the hospital, Robbie explained his situation and how a car ended up in his stomach. They asked him questions and discussed his x-ray with one another. They began asking what type of car it was, and Robbie took pride in answering it is a Pontiac.

Trina took Cat with her as she went to research her role.

The doctor entered the room commenting on how many people were there. Then made the gross comment about Jade possibly being his girlfriend that Jade was far from thrilled to be receiving.

"Jade, why don't you go scare the newborn babies while we actually help Robbie?"

Jade would love to hate Tori right now, but Tori knew her feeling towards babies and giving her an excuse to go see the babies was perfect. "Where are the babies?" Jade asked with a gleeful smile.

Instead of telling her the directions, Andre asked about the car. The doctor went into a discussion of what they need to do and why they couldn't do it. When he mentioned the rare blood type, Jade immediately remembered Tori has a rare blood type.

"He has O negative blood." That sent the friends into a discussion.

Jade was quiet for a moment. "Wait, I know where you can get O negative blood." She grabbed Tori's arm and raised her sleeve. "Right here."

"Oh my god, you did read my medical records!"

Jade gave her a smirk. "I told you I do my research."

Hesitantly, Tori thought about it before agreeing to give blood. The doctor and nurse did say she should be fine to do the play. It wouldn't be a lot of blood. Jade was a little disappointed to hear that Tori would be fine.

As much as Jade wants to say she did not care about Tori Vega, she does. She knows that Tori is far from excited to give blood. Tori is not the biggest fan of needles, but she'll do anything for a friend in need. She's always the helpful, selfless Vega.

Which is why she went with Tori to the donation room.

The two had their little spat before Tori asked Jade to leave. It stung because not too long ago, Tori would have asked to hold her hand. After trying to show she would stay, she took Tori's words and left.

Jade hung around close to the room ready to leave and go back to school. The nurse came out with the blood bag and handed it to a nurse to take to the OR for Robbie. She listened to the exchange before the neglectful nurse left the blood on the counter as he continued his original task.

Jade walked by and put it on a passing cart. Tori would be alright to give some more blood, but she wouldn't be able to do the play. Everything would be ok.

With that, Jade headed back to school ready to claim her victory and take the role of Suzy. Jade happily got dressed before making an entrance for her friends.

Trina didn't look well and wasn't happy to see Jade in Tori's dress. "Why are you in Tori's dress?"

"She took a role in the hospital, so I'm taking the role in Steamboat Suzy."

Andre began explaining that Tori would be just fine and ready to play her role. "She has plenty of time."

When Jade heard about Tori giving another pint of blood, she felt bad. There's no way Tori was going to be ok. Setting the role aside that was far from a healthy idea. Jade just wanted to make her a little faint and unable to play the role for the night, not try to kill her.

She made it back in time for the play, but it was a disaster. Tori couldn't stand without Andre's help. He was whispering her lines to her and helping her dance at times.

Sikowitz couldn't take it and had Tori pulled off stage. He refused to give Jade her chance to play Suzy saying it would only reward bad behavior. He did what was necessary as he knew the role well, he became Suzy and delivered an amazing performance.

"Did the get the car out of Robbie?" Tori slurred leaning against Jade and Cat.

"They sure did, Tori. All thanks to you."

"Yay." Tori celebrated.

Jade was already defeated with Sikowitz taking her role. She felt Tori start to go down, and she moved out of the way and allowed Cat to break her fall. She watched the two girls clap for their friends finding it cute that Cat was helping Tori clap, but she gladly turned on her heel and walked out to head home for the night.

Sighing once in her car, she texted Tori. "I'm sorry. I hope you feel better."

With that, Jade started driving home. She was ready to forget this week.
