Hey there!

So I decided that I'll make this into a story and not the one-shot I had planned on first.

I hope you guys like it!

And yes, I've changed my name. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious! :(


''Guys, we've been worrying about Cat for too long, it's time we actually do something.'' Jade said in an irritated voice.

''The only thing we know is the name of the city she's at. It's going to take ages.'' Beck stated.

''Anything for Cat, though. We should go there for our one week break. We'll have a full week to search the city.'' Tori said. ''What was the city called again, Robbie?'' She asked.

''It's called Lakes'' Robbie answered.

They all agreed to go to Lakes. The break started the next day so after they were done with school they went home and began packing their stuff. André and Beck had fixed them a hostel where they could stay that wasn't too expensive.


They had been traveling for a whole day and finally arrived in Lakes. All tired and worn-out they stumbled in their hostel and checked in. They had two rooms, one for the boys and the other for the girls. Jade and Tori had tried to fight it, but getting seperate rooms was too expensive. They won't be in the hostel a lot anyways. They unpacked a little and had a bit of a rest. When they felt like they were ready to go and explore, they started to walk around. When they set off it was 4 pm.

''All right, I guess we will just walk around and keep our eyes out.'' Beck said.


When the red haired girl woke up on the cold stones of the alley, she was shocked to find some money next to her. People could be nice sometimes, probably someone who passed by and saw her just dropped her some money.

Cat took the money and noticed a spiking headache. These were the times that she would sniff some cocaine, it would help to make the pain less. This was exactly what she did. After she was done she slipped on her leather jacket that she earlier had used as a blanket to drape around her and keep her just the slightest bit warm. She had worn shorts, just for the purpose of making herself look better for a potential 'client'. The weather here in Lakes wasn't what you called hot though. Short weren't exactly the type of pants you should wear.

She stood up, a little bit shaky because of the cold and the drugs that started to kick in. She looked down at herself and noticed a lot of bruises on her legs and a few cuts. She couldn't do anything about it though. The only thing that she could do now was get some food, with the money a generous person had left her.

She walked a few blocks to the nearest supermarket, one where she once before had succeeded to steal something, the adrenaline rush she had when she did it was the worst feeling and since that one experience she had never done it again.

Cat walked up to the bread section and got out a brown bread, she wanted something that could last a few days and would fill her. Then she got a bottle of jus d'orange and as last thing she got a pack of chocolate cookies, just to treat herself.

She noticed that people were looking at her weird, but she had gotten used to that, that didn't mean she liked the reputation she had, though. She hated it.

The red haired girl walked out of the supermarket and went to a park where she could sit on a bench. She got a piece of bread and took a bite. The flavor that filled her mouth was one she had really missed. Finally the feeling of hungriness was fading away. A great feeling.


The gang hadn't succeeded on finding Cat the first day. Beck had come up with a great idea though, they would go to all the schools in Lakes and ask for Cat. The schools in Lakes didn't have a break.

They walked into the first school and Beck took the lead. ''Excuse me ma'am, we are looking for a friend and we were wondering if she was here.''

The woman looked up and nodded. ''If you wait here I can look in our register. What's the name?'' She asked.

''Caterina Valentine.'' Tori answered.

The gang had high hopes. They hadn't spoken to their little red head for too long and were extremely worried. They had expected that Cat would text them every day and e-mail with them. When they hadn't heard for her in weeks they began to get worried. Cat hated to leave their friends, she would do anything to stay in contact with them.

The lady came back. ''I'm sorry to say that we don't have her in our data base.'' She smiled. ''There's one other school on Jackson street. You could try there.''

They all looked disappointed. ''All right, thank you for the effort.'' Robbie said.

''If we don't find her in the other school I'm going to be seriously worried.'' André stated. ''Well, of course she is going to be registered in the other school, she has to go to school somewhere.'' Jade snapped back.

When they walked out of the doors of the other school, though, they looked heartbroken. ''Where can she be?'' Robbie asked. ''Okay guys, I don't like this.'' Beck said.

''Let's raid the city. She is here, I feel it.'' Jade said. ''You can't feel it.'' Tori stated. ''Shut up! Cat is my best friend and I feel her presence.'' Jade snapped.

''Let's go downtown.'' Beck said.


''Come on girl, come with us!'' A random boy screamed at Cat. ''We gonna have a paaaartyyy!''

Cat laughed and got in the car with the unknown boys. She put the stuff she had bought in the supermarket in a plastic bag and had hid it in a dark alley.

The boy draped his arm around Cat's shoulders and whispered in her ear. ''And what's your name?'' Cat smiled. '' It's Cat.'' The boy smiled as well. ''My name is Drake, you're going to be my girl tonight Cat, you don't mind, do you?'' He said, sounding a bit scary. Cat had built up a personality that wasn't scared that easily. ''Yeah, fine.'' She answered, giving him a wink.

They drove to a house where the music could be heard streets away. They walked in and Cat was surprised by all the people. Directly when she came in she was offered a drink, she gladly accepted and began drinking.

Drake was dancing with Cat and Cat was loosely hanging onto him, she was drunk, very. This seemed to be what they wanted because every now and then someone would offer her a drink and she could never say no to that.

''Hey Cat, wanna go upstairs?'' Drake asked, giggling. Cat couldn't say a thing, she was feeling too dizzy. She walked up the stairs, getting supported by Drake.


Everyone was tired, they had been walking around for a while now. ''I really hope Cat isn't somewhere near here, it's quite scary en I feel like there's drug dealers all around.'' André said. They all agreed.

''Would splitting up be a better idea?'' She asked, tired. ''We'll get more ground covered.''

''I guess. We will see each other back at the hotel and keep in contact with our phones.'' Beck said.

''Beck and Tori can go together and then we could go with each other.'' Robbie said. They all agreed, though Jade looked a little disappointed.

''See you guys later!''

''Bye.''


Sooooo... I hope you guys still like it!
