STOP! THIS IS CHAPTER 7! GO BACK AND READ CHAPTER 6 FIRST! I REPLACED THE A/N WITH THE CHAPTER.

Special thanks to my Beta for getting me this chapter back so soon! Thank you! *hugs*

You all get to find out Beck's plan for getting Tori to talk.

Also feel free to skip the * random note at the end. I have a rambling problem.

Tori's POV

Walking into school, I tug on my shirt. Should have kept Trina's. I make my way over to my locker only to find Jade standing in front of it.
"Morning."
"Whatever." We stand there looking at each other.
"Can I help you?" Why is it she can be nice when we're alone but still be a gank at school?
"Here." Jade hands me a journal. "If you won't talk to anyone maybe writing about it will help." I take it, unsure of what to say. Before I can over think it, I reach out and hug her.
"Get off me!" I pull back trying to hide my hurt look but she's not even looking at me. Turning my head I see Robbie, Beck and Andre standing there.
"Hi." I push some hair behind my ear.
"Hello"
"Hey Tor." I open my locker and slide in my new journal in. The bell rings and we all go our separate ways.

~~After school~~

Dropping my book bag on the floor, I grab the journal and lay on my bed. Opening it up I'm surprised to see some writing:

We know you're not ready to talk so we hope this can help. When you're ready to talk, we're ready to listen.

Beck & Jade

Grabbing my phone, I quickly type out a thank you and send it to both of them. Taking a pen from my bag, I turn to the next page and start writing.

Later that evening after my shower I head downstairs to find something to eat. Before I can make it to the kitchen I hear a knock.
"Coming." I stand there with my hand on the lock, "Who is it?"
"Andre" Flipping the lock I open the door and stand back.
"Hey, come on in."
"Thanks" he says as he makes his way to the couch
"So, I was just looking for something to eat. You want?"
"Cool. I could eat." Looking through the cabinets, I gather the stuff to make spaghetti. "So what's up?" I ask, putting the pasta in the boiling water. "Nothing much, finished up that song for class."
"The one about a fish?"
"That's the one. At least I didn't pull the card with a bowl on it."
"Wait, someone had to write a song about a bowl?"
"And a horse, truck, starfish, and banana."
"Wow," I say as I stir the pasta. I open a jar of sauce and pour it into another pot.
"Yeah, so what's been up with you?"
"Nothing really. Just homework and stuff." I keep my back to him hoping he doesn't notice how tense I've gotten.
"Is 'stuff' the reason you hugged Jade and have been wearing Trina's clothes?"
"What's wrong with friends hugging? And I'm back in my clothes." I turn the water off and drain the pasta.
"Since when are you friends? Last week she put sand in your salad."
"She did what?"
"Yeah, I thought you knew."
"No, I didn't know. I take the drained pasta and mix it into the sauce. I set the table then serve the food.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After cleaning up the mess from dinner, I head into the living room where Andre has CSI on.
"You going to Cat's play tomorrow?" he asks as I sit on the couch.
"Of course." Before he could say anything else his phone rings. "Hello? Grandma? Calm down, I'll be right there." He stands up and heads towards the door. "Grandma's freaking. Gotta go."
"Bye Andre." I say to a closing door. I settle back and watch some t.v.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Tori. Tori! Wake up!" I feel hands on my arms and I start to struggle. "Victoria Vega, wake up RIGHT NOW!"
I scream sitting up as my eyes open. It takes me a few minutes to calm my breathing. Looking around, I see my mom sitting on the coffee table in front of me. My dad is a few feet behind her and I can barely see Trina standing by the stairs, a scared look on her face. I clear my throat as I run my hand through my hair.
"Bad dream?" My dad asks.
"Yeah," I give a nervous laugh, "Remind me not to fall asleep watching CSI."
"Want to talk about it?"
"No," I pull at my sweat soak shirt. "I think I'm going to jump in the shower then head to bed."
"Okay, if you change your mind let us know."
After my shower I pull my journal out from between my mattress and box spring and write about my dream. When I'm done I look over at my clock; 11:40 p.m. I grab my phone and debate texting Jade. I sigh and put the phone down without texting her. As I pull my hand back my phone goes off.
"Hello?"
"Hey."
"What's up?" I ask Jade
"You coming over tonight?"
"Umm... Yeah"
Okay, I'll be there soon.

~~~The next day~~~

"Tori," I look up to see Andre sitting in the second row. "Saved you a seat." he gestures to the empty spot beside him. So much for hiding in the back. Walking up to the front I smile "Hey." Looking around the full room I can't help but feel proud of Cat. Spotting Jade and Beck a few rows back, I nod and I see Jade's lips turn up into a small smile. The curtain pulls back as I turn and I sit back and enjoy the show.

Beck's POV

"What do you mean the zippers stuck?"
"Sorry Robbie." I step back, "It's not budging."
"What do I do?"
"I'll tell you what you're not doing." Rex pipes up from the chair when Robbie walks near, "Your not sticking that furry paw anywhere near me!" Hearing a knock, I turn and open the door. I smile at the sight of Cat, Jade and Tori.
"What's taking so long? Andre came and got you fifteen minutes ago." Jade pushes past me and walks into the room. Standing back, I let the others in.
"Yeah, I want sushi!" Cat pipes up.
"The zippers stuck." Andre shares.
"So what your stuck in the monkey suit?"
"It's a gorilla suit." Robbie tugs on it trying to get it to budge. "I can cut it off." Jade says with a smile, pulling out her favorite pair of scissors. "Uh… no thanks. I'll get it off." Jade shrugs and moves over to where Tori is hiding in the corner.
"Hurry up Robbie! I'm hungry." Cat bounces "Can't you just wear it to Nozu?"
"Yeah," Andre says, "Just wear it there."
"I can't wear this out there!" Robbie gestures towards the window.
"Fine. Leave him." Jade starts walking to the door.
"No, I'll go in this." Robbie bends over and picks up Rex.
"You can leave me in the car. No way I wanna been seen with a monkey. Rex then adds, "And get that hand away from my back!"

End A/N-Okay, I know she had the chance to tell her parents but she was too scared to. She hasn't even been able to say it out loud. She has written about it and she'll be telling Jade and Beck soon.

*On a random note while this is the first time you see Beck's POV the first time I wrote his POV was for chapter 10. Then I noticed I forgot chapter 9 and had to go write it! Lol! Followed by this. The orignal chapter ended after Jade's phone call. Ending the ramble now. :)
