Tori was very excited. She just found out her favorite show was coming to Hollywood. She also found out that her Uncle "Literal" and her Aunt and 7 cousins would be coming down to Hollywood within a few weeks. All seven of her cousins were adopted. She was very close to them and yet she hadn't seen the babies (who were now 2 weeks old) yet and she hadn't seen the other kids in a long time.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Cat. Cat looked really upset.
"Cat," she asked, "What's going on? You seem upset"
Cat looked up.
"It's Jade," she said, "she had a heart attack"
"What do you mean she had a heart attack. She's sixteen. How the hell can a sixteen year old have a heart attack?"
"Her heart stopped beating-"
"Yes I know what a heart attack is," Tori said patiently, "but how did Jade get a heart attack. It doesn't make sense"
"Jade was born with a heart condition," Cat said, "but it was minor. This was apparently her second heart attack."
"When was her first?"
Cat looked down.
"Cat," Tori said in a slightly more firm voice, "When was her first heart attack"
"It was the day you kissed Beck during the improv scene."
Tori felt like she was going to throw up. She didn't like Jade at that point. They had since become friends. But she felt like she was a killer.
"How bad was it," Tori asked.
"Lets put it this way. She needs a heart transplant."
She needs a heart transplant! It was THAT SERIOUS! GOD if I had never kissed Beck that day...
Tori knew she had to go see Jade. She brought up the idea to Cat. Cat shook her head.
"She's in isolation," Cat explained, "Too many germs"
"I feel like this is my fault," Tori said, "If she had been stronger maybe-"
"FOR GOD SAKES TORI DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF. YOU NEED TO GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK," Cat scolded
Tori nodded but she was still upset. Jade was in serious trouble. Her life was at stake. Jade was very likely to die. Cat stayed for a little while and then they had to part ways. Cat had to go back to the hospital to keep Beck company. Tori had a date with a new guy from Hollywood Arts named Andre Harris. She liked him. She liked him a lot. He seemed to like her too. There was something special about him. She couldn't place her finger on exactly what it was but there was something about him that screamed unique. She had a few hours before the date so she went to the mall to pick up something for Jade. She found the perfect gift in the bookstore. It was a book.
The book was called HOW TO MAKE YOUR MAN DO WHAT YOU WANT AND THINK IT'S HIS IDEA. She laughed sadly. Jade would love it.
Tori could remember when she and Jade first became friends. Jade had been going through a difficult time through no fault of her own. Beck was going to a summer training program. Tori confronted him about why he was going.
"I don't want to go," Beck said, "I have to"
"Your family would-"
"That's what I told Jade," Beck said, "I got a letter saying it's mandatory for me to go. I DON'T HAVE AN OPTION"
Tori flushed embarrassed. She didn't know that.
"I'm counting on you," Beck said, "To take care of Jade for me while I'm gone. I'll be gone for the whole summer. Jade's going to need a friend and someone to keep her in control of herself."
"Have you met Jade," Tori asked, "That girl can be very stubborn"
"Yes I know that," Beck said, "Which is why I need you to take care of her. She can be dangerous when she's emotional. I LOVE her but she can be extremely out of control sometimes. Please Tori, do this for me."
"Fine," she agreed, "How do I handle it if she loses control."
"Just say the word BLOODBATH. It makes her laugh every time"
"Ew," Tori said, "That's so gross"
"No. There's a story to that. We were watching the movie and she didn't know this but Robbie was hiding behind the couch and tried to scare her but she growled at him and scared him instead"
"Oh... and it's funny that she scared Robbie"
"Yeah because he dropped Rex and Rex farted"
"Okay how does a puppet fart"
"Well I'm sure Robbie did the sound effects," Beck said
