I do not own Victorious
Chapter 5
Jade's POV
I couldn't stay in that place after I saw the two of them together. I ran out trying to keep myself from breaking down. As soon as I got into the car, I began to cry harder than I had ever cried before, not really caring who saw me as they walked passed my car. After I had calmed down a little, I pulled away and drove home.
After I got home, I slammed the front door, ignored my parents as they began to yell at me for slamming the front door, and locked my bedroom door. I didn't want to see anyone. I just wanted to cry by myself. I laid on my bed and cried until I fell asleep.
Robbie's POV
I was running a little late the next day, and I got to school right as first period was beginning, which was Sikowitz's class. I walked into the room, and I took my seat. After about fifteen minutes of teaching, Lane walked into the room.
"Hey Sikowitz, Helen needs to see you real quick."
"Alright, well children, sit here and mingle amongst yourselves."
And with that he left the room. Soon, Beck, Andre, Tori, and Cat pulled up chairs next to me. I noticed that Jade was not at school today. I began to wonder where she was, when my thought was broken by the sound of the bell signaling that it was the end of class. My next few classes went by quickly, and then it was lunch.
The gang was seated in our usual spot. I sat in between Cat and Andre, and Beck and Tori sat next to each other on the other side of the table. I had begun to notice that those two were getting closer over the past few days. I would have to ask Beck about it later. We all sat there while eating when Rex was the first to speak up.
"So where is the queen of the gank at today?"
We all just looked at each other and each one of us said we had no idea. She had not told me or anyone else that she was not going to be at school. I told myself that maybe she was just sick, but I had a feeling that there was something seriously wrong with her. She was a good student who didn't usually miss school, especially since she hated being at home so much. I decided that after school, I would go see her and make sure she was okay.
So like I planned, after school I headed straight for Jade's house. On the way, I stopped to get her some coffee just the way she likes it. Shortly after, I found myself knocking on the door to her house. After a few seconds, the door opened and revealed Jade West. She looked horrible. Makeup running down her face, she had obviously been crying for a long time. She just looked at me, and it wasn't until I showed her the coffee that she allowed me to enter.
We went to her room, which looked exactly like you would imagine the room of Jade West would look like. It was dark; the only light source was the light that was creeping through the cracks in the drapes. We both just sat in silence while she drank her coffee. She had finished when she finally spoke.
"I'm guessing that you are wondering where I was today?"
"We all were kind of wondering actually, even Rex."
She just rolled her eyes at the last part of that statement. She got up and threw away the cup, then sat back down. I thought I heard a small sniffle as she prepared to speak again.
"I didn't come to school today because I was in here crying."
"You want to tell me what happened?"
She took a deep breath and wiped a small tear that was beginning to escape from her eye, and then she told me her story.
"Well, after I left your house yesterday, I decided I wanted some coffee. So, I went to one of the cafés downtown. While I was waiting in line I saw….."
She began to cry at this point. I sat patiently as Jade attempted to regain her composure. After a few seconds, she found the ability to continue.
"I saw Beck, and he was with Tori. I didn't stay any longer to see what was going on between them."
Well, I knew they were getting closer to each other, but I didn't think that Beck would already be moving on from Jade. Especially when the person he was moving on with was in the group and Jade hated her. I really needed to talk to him now.
I spent the next few hours at Jade's, make sure she was alright. When she told me that she was going to be fine, I told her I would see her at school tomorrow. I then left and headed straight for Beck's RV, wanting to find out what was going on.
It was about a ten minute drive from Jade's to Beck's. I got there right as the sun was beginning to go down. It rapidly knocked on the door to the RV and Beck opened the door. He looked surprised to see me.
"Hey Robbie, what are you doing here so late?"
"Hey Beck, we need to talk, mind if I come in?"
"Yeah man, no problem."
We walked into the RV and sat down on his bed. He grabbed us some soda, and I began to think about how I was going to ask him about Tori.
"So what did you want to talk about?"
I took a deep breath and prepared myself for what I was going to say.
"Well I went by Jade's after school…."
"Really, you did? Did you figure out why she was not at school today?"
"Actually, yeah I did. She told me that she had been crying all day because she had seen you at some café downtown, and said you were with Tori."
After I said that, Beck just kind of stared down in his lap. After a few seconds of awkward silence, he finally spoke up.
"I'm dating Tori…." He said ashamed.
AN: Dun, dun, dun….. Well there you have it. What does the realization mean for Jade? And how is Robbie going to react to this? Find out in the next chapter. Please don't forget to review and let me know how you like it. Y'all have been great so far.
