AN: I'm going to cry! So sad Victorious is getting canceled...

You don't have to be afraid
To put your dream in action
You'll never gonna fade
You'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy
Just remember me
When it turns out right
Cause you know that if your live
In your imagination
Tomorrow you'll be
Everybody's fascination
In my victory
Just remember me
When I make it shine

Tori:

It was Monday at school and I hadn't seen Jade yet. That made sense though I had just gotten here. I couldn't wait to see her face, I had dreamed about her all night long. I just hoped she stuck to her word and treated me better, but I knew she would; she loved me after all.

She loved me. These three words felt so weird and foreign in my head. No one had ever loved me before, of course I had never given them the chance. It wasn't my fault though every time a guy had asked me out all I could think of is how he might be like my dad. Every time a guy tried to kiss me I saw his face. It was different with Jade, yes it was still hard but I think that was more of an emotional issue. I didn't imagine him when we kissed, I didn't wonder if she was like him because I knew she wasn't; she was Jade.

I was at my locker when Cat came up to me with a huge smile on her face. "Hey Tori," she said looking around nervously which I found weird, she had been nervous and shy around me lately. "I was wondering if I could stay the night this weekend? I mean Jade got you all last weekend, and I'm asking now because you said your mom likes an advance warning."

I let out a small laugh and put a finger to her lips at which her cheeks went bright red. "Cat, of course I have no problem spending time with you! I just need to run it by my mom today after school but I don't think she'll have a problem with it. I'll text you tonight and let you know whats up."

"YAY!" she yelled and gave me a fierce hug before skipping off.

"Well, she seems more happy than usual and that's saying something," came a voice that made my heart skip a beat.

"Jade!" I exclaimed turning around to see her. I threw my arms around her giving her a hug, sorry I couldn't help it I was just so excited to see her. She awkwardly hugged me back, not wanting anyone to think we were overly friendly to fast.

"Hey there Vega," she said giving me a small smile. Then without warning she grabbed my arm and lifted the sleeve all the way up. My eyes grew huge and I grabbed it yanking it down. It was to late though she had seen what was there, the damage was done. She gave me a look that I couldn't quite figure out what it meant but it was quickly gone and she just looked sad.

"We'll talk about this later, I'm not mad Tori so don't think that for a second. I understand why you would hurt yourself but you need to understand it's not healthy and you need a different outlet. Class is about to start, I'll see you in second period, Sikowitz's right?"

I gave hew a sad smile and nodded. The bell rang and she walked away and I shed a small tear. I hadn't wanted her to know about this, at least not yet. Yeah someday when our relationship was better established and I had worked through some emotional and psychological problems, and hopefully didn't need to hurt myself anymore.

Now that she knew she'd monitor me I knew it, and to be honest I wasn't sure I was ready to give up this outlet yet. I needed time with Jade and let her work her healing magic on me before I could make that decision. I let out a sigh and decided I'd skip first period. I know what you're thinking; Tori Vega skip? Well I don't do it often only when my mind was overwhelmed and I just needed time to think.

I headed to the girls bathroom and picked a random stall and slid down against it's door. I closed my eyes and let random images pass in front of my mind. Me and Jade kissing, Cat getting me in a bone crushing hug and being well herself, me and Jade lying in my bed cuddling starring into each others eyes, Cat sitting at the asphalt cafe starting a random story about her brother.

I wasn't sure why I was thinking of Cat so much right now, maybe because she was Jade's polar opposite, who knows. I was glad I was going to spend time with her this weekend though. I hadn't spent much friend time with Cat lately, just me and her alone. We use to all the time, but as of late she had been acting weird, avoiding me a lot, and now she seemed to try her best to be around me but acted very nervous.

My eyes became wide, could Cat have a crush on me? No, impossible I think. Cat is as straight as they come I've never even seen her check out a girl before. But now that I think about it I had never seen her check out a guy before either she just seemed to end up with them, and the relationships never seemed to last long.

I decided not to think about it for now Cat was amazing and all but I had Jade, and that's all I'd ever need. Just then I got a text, I pulled my phone out and was surprised to see it was from Cat.

Where are you? I'm in first period and you're not in your seat, you're okay right? -Cat

Yeah I'm fine not feeling to well so I'm hauled up in a stall in the bathroom. I'll be fine don't worry. -Tori

She didn't reply so I guess she believed me. I sighed and started to cry. I wasn't sure why I was crying to be honest, sometimes I just cried when things felt overwhelming. I wish Jade could be here right now to hold me and tell me things would be okay. I heard the bathroom door open so I stopped sobbing but the tears still fell.

"Tori," came a voice.

"Cat?" I replied surprised. She opened my stall door, I was mentally kicking myself for forgetting to lock it, and she looked down at me on the ground. I looked up at her and she saw my tears and gasped.

"Tori are you okay?!" she instantly bent over and threw her hands around me. I just started sobbing needing someone to hold me right now, even if it couldn't be Jade.

"No I'm not okay Cat, nothing is ever okay," I said in a small voice."

But I can't tell you why and I need you not to ask me okay? Just please let this be." She didn't say anything just continued to hold me. She came into the stall and closed the door, this time locking it, and sat down next to me and pulled me into her arms. I started crying even harder and just let her hold me. Deep down it felt wrong, like I was cheating on Jade, but it wasn't like that. I was overwhelmed and just needed to be comforted. I would prefer Jade here right now but she couldn't be so Cat was second choice.

"It's going to be okay Tori, it's going to be okay I'm here now," she kept repeating over and over rubbing my back. We stayed like this for the rest of the period just locked in a bathroom stall her comforting me. Slowly I stopped crying and sobbing and just rested in her arms. Finally she spoke up:

"Tori the bells going to ring in a few minutes and I don't think you want to skip another class, though if you need to I'll skip with you, so maybe we should get you cleaned up?"

I just looked at her and stood up giving her a small smile. She took this as I wasn't going to skip next period and she stood up with me giving me a smile and pulled me in for another hug, then to my surprise kissed me on the cheek but before I could even process it she unlocked the door grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the sink. A few minutes later I looked normal again not like I had just spent a whole class period crying.

She smiled at me and the dismissal bell for period one rang. We left the bathroom and headed for our lockers to get our stuff for Sikowitz's period. Then it just struck me, I'd see Jade this period! A huge smile spread over my face as I headed towards class. Cat's locker wasn't near mine so we had split up but I'm sure I'd see her in a minute. When I got there I took my normal seat in the front of class, but realizing Jade always sat in the back I got up and moved to the back.

People started filing into the room as it got closer to final bell. Then I saw Jade come in with Cat right behind her. I shot Jade a huge smile and she smiled back sitting next to me. To my surprise Cat sat on my other side, usually she sat in the front of the room like me. After what just happened in the bathroom though I wasn't to surprised she probably wanted to make sure I was okay. Jade quickly grabbed my hand gave it a squeeze and let go. I gave her a small smile then felt guilty thinking of what had happened between me and Cat. She had kissed my cheek. She was just being a good friend I was sure, or well more hoped, but I decided I'd tell Jade about last period and Cat comforting me.

She would probably be mad that it wasn't her that was there for me, but she couldn't always be there for me and she had done enough for me this weekend.

Jade:

School was over now and I was waiting for Tori by my car. We had decided I'd give her a ride home today because she said she needed to tell me something. She had quickly told me it wasn't something to do with us. We had done a good job today, acting civil towards each other without drawing to many questions from our friends. We got an odd look or two when I didn't make fun of her, and when we sat by each other at lunch, but no one actually said anything. Maybe if we ease them into this no questions will be asking until we decide to come out.

Finally I saw Tori headed towards me and I smiled. She gave me her stunning smile back and got into the passengers side. "So what did you need to talk about?" I asked as I started up the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

"Well," she started "you see during first period today I felt overwhelmed so I skipped class to take some time to think in the bathroom. I got a text from Cat asking why I wasn't in class and I told her I felt sick and was in the bathroom. She ended up coming to the bathroom to check up on me and found me crying my eyes out. She ended up hugging me and comforting me all first period, and at the end she gave me a peck on the cheek. I think she was just being friendly, and I don't want you to be to... Jade like about this, please?"

I didn't say anything for a few minutes mulling this over. This all did sound very much like Cat just being a good friend, something she would do. She's been acting different around Tori lately though shy and nervous. I started to feel the familiar feeling of jealousy rise up in me, but I knew if I did in this relationship with what I had done in mine and Beck's we'd get no where fast.

So I simply smiled and gave a small chuckle. "I'm sure your right Tori, it's just Cat being Cat. She's an awesome friend trust me she's been there for me a few times in my life. The peck on the cheek seems kind of extreme, but it was an extreme situation and she probably thought it was called for." This seemed so logical that the jealousy went away. I was sure now this was it.

She smiled and nodded and we were quiet for the rest of the way to her house. "And Tori, I'm coming in right now and we're going to talk about your arm."

AN: Okay so I had like the next 6 chapters planned in an outline but the other day I had a dream, a Catorade dream, and I tossed the outline. Which is why this chapter took so long. I hope you like where this story is going, unsure if I'm going to actually do Catorade or not, but what do you think? I know Catorade isn't what you signed up for, and honestly I had not planned on it. I guess over the next few days I'll make another outline based on your guy's reviews!

Also in a review or PM start suggesting ideas/themes for chapters of the one shot collection I mentioned last chapter. I guess I'll make it a Catorade collection instead of Jori. So feel free to suggest Cade, Cori, Jori, and Catorade one shots!
