October 30th 2013, one entire year since the murder of Cat Valentine. The friends had taken the day off school together to meet up and remember their friend. They had decided to meet at the Hollywood sign, so it almost felt like they were high up in the sky, next to Cat. The group of friends sat in a circle, most of them taking in the breathtaking view.

"It doesn't feel like it's been a year." Beck sat next to his friends, his feet kicking into the ground in front of him, making a dust cloud in front of his tired face.

"It does. It feels like forever since I've seen her." Robbie sat with an empty look on his face. Since Cat's death he just found it entirely hard to move on at all. He tried for her sake, but every time he closed his eyes he could see her body. Her cold and lifeless body lying there, crying out to be saved.

"At least we're famous now." Trina bragged.

"We aren't fucking famous." Jade scolded. "We're only on TV half the time because the police can't decide if we are suspects or not."

"Whatever. My face is on TV and people know my name, so that's fame for me."

Everyone rolled their eyes at Trina.

"Do ya'll ever wonder what she'd be doing now? I mean she'd be graduating this year with us. Do you wonder what college she'd have applied for? Who she'd be dating? You know?" Andre felt his heart ache. Those questions haunted him daily.

"All the time." Tori mumbled.

"I think she'd have applied to Sea World by now." Jade looked at Tori with watery eyes. She would not cry in front of anyone but her, but talking about Cat with all her friends made it hard not to.

"I think she'd have gone to prom with me." Robbie smiled slightly. "At least I like to think she would have."

"I'm sure she would have, man." Beck patted his friends back.

"It's just weird saying it's been a year. Like before it was a week, or a month, or a few months. But a year makes it seem so long. Three hundred and sixty five days since she was here. It's such a long time and it's only going to get longer." Jade held her locket tight.

"I hope we're making her proud." Robbie looked up at the blue sky above him, a content look on his face.

"I'm sure she's real proud of all of us. None of us dropped out of school or got into some crazy shit because of what happened and we stuck through it all together. Hell, even Tori and Jade are close now. That's got to be one positive of it." Andre chuckled slightly.

Tori smiled at Jade. "That's true. I got my Jade and she's got me."

"Shut up, Vega. You make it sound like we're dating."

Tori chewed her lip as she was brushed off by her friend. "No." She uttered.

"I just hope that they catch the fucker that did it to her, so I can torture them myself." Jade held up her scissors from her bag. "The things I'd do to them." She looked sadistically towards the shiny blades in front of her. The shape of them reflecting in her evil eyes.

"Killing them won't bring her back." Tori pushed Jade's hands down, forcing her to drop the scissors.

"I know. But it'll make me feel a whole lot better." Jade replied bluntly.

"I'm with Jade for once. An eye for an eye." Trina chipped in.

"Can we stop talking about murder please?" Tori looked around at her friends, a weird look on her face.

"Yeah, this was supposed to be about Cat today. Let's keep it as nice as we can. We need to remember the good times we had with her. Not dwell on the bad times." Andre smiled. "Whats your favorite memories with Cat? Mine's when she made us do that dumb Diddily-Bops performance and we had to write that song about food. It was so Cat in every way. She was so into it. You could just tell she loved performing and being around children. It always made me think of what a great Mom she would be one day."

"She sure could sing." Beck smiled. "I loved hearing her perform. Her voice was just so unique and she emoted so much during every song. She would have made an amazing singer."

"It's hard to think of one memory I cherish the most. I have a lot. Like the time she met my Grandma and they argued about their hair color. That made me laugh a lot." Robbie laughed slightly. "And I love remembering when we went around school singing bad news to everyone."

"Yeah, you gave me some pretty awesome bad news." Beck chuckled. "I still haven't got that stain out." Beck faced Andre.

"Hey man, it wasn't my fault!"

"I loved how she was so sweet. When we drove to get that mask glue stuff for Tori's zombie face, we were rapping and she wouldn't say any of the bad words. That always made me laugh. She was so naive." Trina felt herself well up. "I promised myself I wouldn't cry today. I've cried enough this past year."

Tori placed her arms around her sister. As she began to speak she was cut off by Jade.

"What the fuck!" Jade cried out, standing up so quickly she almost tripped over her own feet.

"What?" Tori stood up beside her in a panic. "What happened?"

"I have to go." Jade grabbed her black bag, swinging it over her shoulder as she stormed off.

"Jade, wait up!" Tori called after her, half running towards the angry girl.

"Go away, Tori." Jade kept walking, not looking behind her.

"Jade, please tell me what's happened!"

"It doesn't concern you, go away."

"Jade!" Tori screamed. "Stop!" She watched as Jade finally faced her. "Don't do this to me. I thought we were close. I thought we were friends now."

"We are but I don't have to tell you fucking everything. Calm your tits, Vega."

"But you used to tell Cat everything?"

"That was different. She and I had a different relationship." Jade turned back around. "I don't have time for this."

"Let me come with you." Tori followed after Jade again.

"Why won't you just take a hint?" Jade pushed Tori over when she span around for a second time. Jade stumbled back away, her face in total shock as she saw Tori on the ground. "I'm sorry."

Tori stood us, equally as shocked as Jade was. "I just wanted to help you, Jade." Tori's eyes filled with tears. "I love you."

Jade stood still, not knowing what to say. "My brothers been arrested. My Mom just text me telling me to come to the station. She didn't say much, only that is was to do with Cat."

"Do you think the police know about your Halloween party?"

Jade shook her head. "I have no idea. He's going to kill me." She began to shake in fear. "I act big and tough, but only because I have to be like that. If I show fear, he'll hurt me. But truth is, I'm so fucking scared of my brother. That's why I didn't stop what he did to Cat. I was so scared. It's killed me every single day for the past two years. I was a coward that night and I let him do that to Cat. I watched her cry for help and I did nothing." Jade screamed loudly, her voice cracking. "I should be the dead one, not her."

"Do you think he killed her?"

Jade shook her head. "He may be a total dickhead, but he isn't capable of murder."

"Do they have evidence against him that connects him though?"

"Fuck knows. I know what he did was so wrong, but he's my brother and I can't let him get the blame for her murder."

"But why? He did that to Cat. Doesn't he deserve to go away."

Jade raised her eyebrow. "He made a stupid fucking mistake while he was drunk. He deserves to pay for that, not for Cat's murder."

"But you were scared of him, Jade. He used to hurt you, he hit you so many times."

Jade paused. "How do you know that?"

"I-I don't know."

"How the hell do you know he hits me, Tori?" Jade squared up to Tori, her eyes in complete contact with her's.

"Cat told me." She lied.

"You're lying to me." Jade felt herself getting angry. "Cat knew, that's no lie. But she was loyal to me and she kept her word. She never told a soul about secrets that I told her. We were closer than that, closer than you and her were and closer than you and I ever will be."

"Why did you like her so much? She hated you!" Tori finally broke, screaming at Jade.

Jade laughed in shock. "No, she didn't."

"Yes she did." An jealous and evil look consumed Tori's fragile face. "She hated you."

At first glance, Tori looked angry, but a scared kind of anger, until Jade looked deep into her eyes, and a sudden chill flew down her spine as she could sense a horrible evil within Tori. "What's the matter with you?"

"I just don't get why you liked her so much when she resented you for so long. How did you not see it? You know I was there that night. I saw what happened, I saw Cat running out of the bedroom in tears. She wouldn't tell me what happened but I comforted her and whenever I mentioned getting you she froze up. She didn't want you anymore."

"That's not true."

"But it is." Tori laughed. "From that day on she hated you. I didn't really realize it either until I read her diary that weekend and that's when things changed."

"What do you mean?" Jade suddenly began to panic, her heart started to race and she began to sweat.

"She wanted revenge, Jade. She wanted to hurt you like you and her brother had hurt her." Tori's anger turned to pain. "I couldn't let her hurt you. I love you, Jade. I couldn't."

"But, you didn't let her, did you?" It all suddenly became clear.

"Cat?" Tori stood in the hallway, meeting Cat from the staircase. The darkness was fading, the moon going down in the horizon.

"Tori, you gave me a fright!" Cat jumped at Tori's voice. "Why are you awake?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I remembered what you had said about last Halloween and so I found your diary and I just scanned through to begin with because I was worried about you."

"You read my diary?" Cat said defensively. "That's not fair!"

"I read everything, Cat. I know everything you're planning. I know what happened to you and what you said about Jade."

Cat stood with her hands on her hips. "So? I've had to live with this pain and this shame for nearly a year now and no one paid for it. Jade watched me, she watched her filthy brother rape me and she did nothing. She knew it was me in there and she stil did nothing. Someone has to pay for that."

"If you lay a finger on her, I'll kill you." Tori threatened.

"You've lost your mind. Why are you so obsessed with her? She isn't all that great you know. I mean she's hardly a saint now, is she?"

"I love her, you idiot. I've always loved her. I've tried for years to make her like me, yet alone love me. Why does she love you so much? You don't even want her love!" Tori admitted, anger and pain deep in her voice.

"Then you really are insane. She doesn't love you, not even a little bit. In fact you are the last person she would ever be seen dead with." Cat glared at Tori. "You are so naive and vulnerable to her."

"I mean it, if you hurt her, I will make you pay."

"No you won't." Cat turned to face the staircase again. "Go to bed, Tori."

Tori followed Cat down the stairs and outside of the cabin. "Where the hell do you think you're going?"

"Oh my god, leave me alone. I'm getting away from you!" Cat felt a sudden panic as she realized Tori wasn't going to leave her alone that easily.

"I'm not leaving you alone until I know you won't hurt Jade!" Tori chased after Cat.

Cat picked up her pace, her little legs running into the forest. She jumped and skipped over branches and ditches in the ground. "What do you think you're doing?" Cat screamed as she reached a dead end at the lake.

Tori stopped behind her. "Protecting Jade." She examined their reflections in the lake, both of the girls looked small and Tori was sick of feeling so small all the time.

"Do you honestly think she'll love you if you hurt me?" Cat laughed in Tori's face. "Don't you get it? She loves me, not you. It's a messed up kind of love, but she's in love with me."

"Take that back." Tori spat.

"You and I both know it's true. You've always been jealous of our friendship. You try too hard, and that's only pushed Jade away from you."

"Shut up!" Tori screamed, throwing her hand across Cat's face.

Cat stumbled back, falling over a rock and falling hard onto the ground. "Get away from me!" Cat sobbed, fear had overtaken her anger as she sat on the floor, tears falling down her pink cheeks. "Leave me alone!"

"Who's the vulnerable one now then?" Tori stood over Cat, her shadow covering the small girl.

"I was never going to hurt her!" Cat pleaded. "I only wrote down those things so I didn't actually hurt her. God, I hate her like crazy but I couldn't do that. You must know that, Tori. You know me. I'm Cat, silly, innocent, dumb Cat."

"And why should I believe you? You wrote how you wanted to watch her suffer under your hands. How would you like that?" Tori screamed.

"Leave me alone, Tori! Please!" Cat tried to stand up, being pushed back down hard by Tori.

Quickly Tori sat over Cat, placing her hands firmly around Cat's neck. Cat's hands moved onto Tori's in a weak struggle. She tried to let out screams, the only noise leaving her mouth was desperate gasps for air. She kicked her arms and legs around as she felt Tori push harder. Cat scratched at Tori's bare skin, only making her angrier. Tori's face twisted into evil anger as she watched Cat struggle beneath her. Cat's eyes watered, tears falling down her cheeks as she kept her eyes on Tori. Fear became all too real as she realized just how serious Tori had been.

"I love her, Cat and I won't let you hurt her!" Tori watched as Cat stopped struggling, her body going limp under Tori's body.

Tori stood up slowly, all the anger and pain she had let out had evaporated into pure fear. Her whole body shook, her heart thumping so loud around her head. She began holding her hands up to her face in horror. "Oh fuck." Tori cried out as she comprehended what she had just done. She collapsed onto her knees beside the quiet red head. "Wake up, Cat. It's me, it's Tori. Wake up, please." Tori shook her body, Cat's limp limbs moving abruptly. "Please wake up!"

"Oh my god." Tori ran her fingers through her hair. "What have I done." Tori looked at her bare hands again before looking back at Cat. She had only wanted to scare her a bit. She knew deep down Cat wasn't really going to hurt Jade. She knew, but she let her obsessive anger take over.

Minutes passed of Tori just sat still beside Cat. A few tears dripped down her face as she finally stood up, moving Cat from her back and onto her side, gently placing her hands under her head and tucking her legs into her stomach slightly. She'd moved Cat so carefully, making her look as though she was asleep. For a moment, Tori believed she would just open her eyes and sit up. Tori waited and waited, but she didn't, she remained in complete silence. Tori stood up finally, looking at Cat from a slight distance. "Sleep tight." She whispered to the silenced girl, before heading back to the cabin.

Tori crept in in complete cabin was beginning to fill with bright, colorful light from the sun rising. As she reached the girls bedroom she was filled with guilt. She opened the door a crack, looking in to make sure everyone was asleep before heading in. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror as she walked into the room. She couldn't bare to look at herself, her hair was a mess, her face was drained and her clothes were a mess. She threw her clothes off and into her suitcase, leaving her dirty tshirt on to sleep in. She crawled into bed, still shaking from everything as she curled into Jade.

Jade stumbled back, a million different emotions rushing through her body. She felt like she'd been hit by a train, knocking her out totally.

"I didn't think I could kill her. When she stopped struggling I thought she had just given up you know. I thought she was messing with me." Tori cried out.

"You killed her." Jade whispered. "You killed my Cat."

"I never meant to cause this much pain." Tori pleaded. "But she was going to hurt you, Jade. I couldn't let her hurt you."

"Fuck." Jade screamed. "Get the fuck away from me you psycho." Jade stepped away from Tori. "I hate you. I HATE YOU."

Tori broke down, tears streaming down her face as she gasped. "No. No you don't. I saved you. I save your life, don't you see that?"

"You ruined my fucking life." Jade shrieked. "You watched me cry, you held me while I broke down and the entire time, you knew what happened. You watched as everyone cried for her, even your sister was torn apart by this and you sat back and just watched everyone hurt while you knew everything. You lied to the police, you lied to everyone and now you've tried to frame my brother for it?"

"He should take the blame for it. It's his fault."

"No you fucking idiot. It's your fault. You killed her. You put your hands around her tiny neck and stole every last breath from her. You watched her fucking struggle and you didn't stop." Jade became hysterical, her breathing becoming deeper and faster.

"Jade, you're scaring me." Tori felt fear knock her out as she watched Jade become more and more angry.

"Get away from me, Tori Vega." Jade rushed down the hill, running faster than before.

"Where are you going?" Tori shouted from behind Jade.

"The police station." Jade screamed, making sure Tori was well behind her.

"You can't tell on me!" Tori cried out like a child would, trying to catch up with Jade.

"Fucking watch me." Jade stopped at the bottom of the hill, her breathing heavy as she caught her breath.

"I thought you loved me now. I thought we were friends, like you and Cat were?" Tori stood away from Jade as she spoke, a crazy look on her face.

"I never loved you. You're deluded to think I ever did. The only person I've ever loved was Cat, and you took her away from me." Jade moved towards Tori. "Do you remember what I said I would do when they caught her killer?"

Tori gulped, taking a step back from Jade. "You can't hurt me." She whispered in fear.

"If you hurt Cat, why can't I hurt you?"

"Because I did nothing wrong. I was protecting you!"

Jade slapped Tori hard around the face, making her hand sting. "You killed Cat, you killed my best friend." Jade snapped. "Now I'm going to make you suffer." Jade pulled her scissors out, opening the blade across Tori's neck in one quick movement. Jade stumbled away, half in shock and half in anger still. Her eyes fell onto the shiny scissors covered in blood before moving onto Tori's neck. Crimson blood trickled down Tori's tanned neck, dripping onto her white blouse. She watched Tori's eyes, terror driven deep into them.

Tori froze, her hands finding her warm neck. She pulled her hands away, hot blood being the only thing in her sight. A single tear fell from her brown eyes as she fell to her knees. "I love you." She slurred as she held onto her neck tight.

Jade formed an evil smirk at Tori as she watched her fall onto her back, her hand still wrapped around her neck. "I've never loved you." She kicked dirt across Tori's shaking body. She wiped the scissors on her dark skirt, wiping the weapon clean before throwing them down beside Tori. "See you in hell, bitch."
