Chapter 7

A/N: Once again I'd like to thank you all for your continued support on this story. I also suggest listening to the songs that I listen to when I write chapters for this story. The songs are as follows: Ookay by Perigo, Bezerk by Eminem, Survival by Eminem, Lose Yourself by Eminem, When I'm Gone by Eminem, and the whole Recovery album by Eminem.

Note: I was stuck in a rut between choosing Casey Novak or Alex Cabot for Jade's Attorney. So I'm making my own decision on this one will be the attorney and one will be the judge, forgive me on this decision because I wrote this after an odd night filled with surprises.

Jade's POV:

Today's the day, well in about four hours it will be the day. I haven't been able to sleep since Tori calmed me down earlier. I have the feeling that Tori isn't exactly asleep but I don't want to wake her if she is sleeping. The nerves are just so overwhelming that I'm not going to be able to sleep until this court shit is over. I took a small nap today but that was for my sanity. I don't want to get out of bed but I really need something to drink so my thirst is going to win.

Tori's POV:

Jade just left the room to do 'God-knows-what' downstairs. Part of me wants to go down and scare her but I'd feel bad doing that with what's going on in six hours. I think I'll just go downstairs I could use a drink anyway. I hope I didn't say anything that insulted her, I really don't want to mess up with Jade. But enough mind-stalling Tori just go down and talk with her.

No POV:

Tori moves across her floor as if she was on a secret mission. Her objective: find Jade. This was probably hands down the most goofy idea that had come to Tori's mind in months. Jade had been sitting in the kitchen when she heard the barely noticeable footsteps on the stairs. As the steps came closer Jade's signature smirk flashed across her face.

"Hey Tori I know that's you so just come here", Jade said trying to sound as stern as she could without laughing.

"Damn it how'd you know I was coming?"

"Well Tori your footsteps was one giveaway, oh your breathing as well."

"I'm sorry I'm not as sneaky as you Jade but I did my best."

"Yeah I guess you did so why are you down here Tori?"

"Well after you left the bed I wanted to see if it was my fault."

"No don't worry Tori I just couldn't sleep so I came to get a drink."

"Oh, okay I thought I said something so I stayed up to see what would happen."

"Well Tori if singing doesn't work out you could always be the dead lady on Law and Order", Jade said with a huge grin.

"Hey I just learned to do that through all the Christmases that I'd stay awake and wait for Santa."

"I rest my case, but come here let's go back upstairs", Jade pulled Tori into an embrace and kissed her forehead.

Same time across town:

"Cat so do you have your story straight for the witness stand tomorrow", Beck said with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Yeah you want me to say that you and Jade were going to have sex for the first time. But then Tori came in and caught you guys together and Jade made it look like you were attacking her."

"And why did she make it look like I was attacking her?"

"Because she was working on a friendship with Tori and she didn't want to make Tori feel like she was going to blow her off that night."

"Okay good job Cat."

"Alright I have to go home to finish that paper I got in Impressions class today."

"I'll see you later then."

Cat's POV:

I really hope that this will work out later. See no one knows that I've been talking with Jade since the incident, I know what really happened that night. I've had to do a couple of things that I didn't want to do, especially having sex with Beck. Knowing what he had done to my best friend, no my sister is hurtful. I plan on turning on Beck tomorrow so I need to make sure that I get to Tori's house to meet the lawyer and discuss the plan then. Jade is supposed to fill Tori in on everything before I come to her house so I just pray she can forgive me for what I did.

No POV:

"Hey Tori."

"Yeah?"

"There is one thing I need to tell you about."

"What is it?"

"It's about Cat."

"Alright let me hear it."

"Cat's actually helping us with the court case."

"What do you mean she's helping us?"

"She's going to turn on Beck in court."

"Wait so you're telling me that everything Cat said about you was an act?", Tori inquired doubt evident on her face.

"Yeah I wish she would of just let me take care of it myself."

"Why?"

"Because she was saving her first time for Robbie", Jade said with regret.

"So she really did have sex with Beck."

"I asked her not to but she said she knew she could get information from Beck if she showed that she trusted him."

"Does Robbie know any of this happened?"

"He helped me and Cat plan it out, but he doesn't know about her having sex with Beck."

"Well it's not your fault Jade just remember that."

"Alright when is the lawyer going to be here?"

"Four hours, so can you promise me that you'll get some sleep until then Jade."

Jade nodded and Tori snuggled closer to Jade, who responded by wrapping her arms around Tori. Within minutes Tori and Jade's breathing had slowed down and was replaced with relaxed inhales and exhales. Jade knew this was the comfort she wanted for the rest of her life.

Three hours later:

Tori and Jade was awakened by the familiar laughter of a certain red-head they knew. After they had taken showers and got ready for the court appearance today. Luckily for Jade there was almost no possibility of a second appearance. Once the made their way downstairs the addicting smell of Tori's favorite hot chocolate mixed with the aroma of coffee which had drawn both teenagers to the kitchen. Once they were situated there was one face that neither girl had recognized. There in front of them sat a woman with strawberry-blonde hair.

"Good morning, ladies my name is Casey Novak."

"So you're my lawyer", Jade said studying the woman in front of her.

"Yes I'm a former Assistant District Attorney."

"Okay so how are we going to do this."

"Well your friend Cat has been telling me a little bit about what happened that night but I need your statement as well.

"Okay well the night it happened I had been hanging out with Tori. After we finished the work on a project we had due the next day, when Beck came to pick me up he said he wanted to take me to dinner. The dinner went alright but when we got back to his trailer to talk he started going on about he was ready to have sex with me."

"I'd been questioning my sexuality for a couple months so I wasn't sure if I wanted to be with a man. But he got real impatient with me and he kept going on about if I didn't do this then I didn't love him. He started to tear my clothes away, once he pulled off my shirt and bra he started to unbutton his pants and started growling like an animal. Before he could do anything else Tori came to his trailer with my bag since she knew I'd probably be there for an hour or so. Once she saw saw was going on she dragged me out of there and since then I've been staying with her."

A/N: This will be where I stop the chapter the next chapter will begin with Jade finishing the same statement in court so if the last two paragraphs are in the beginning of chapter 8 then you guys know why. Also what is your guys' opinion on a Cat and Trina relationship story. It wouldn't be related to this story at all if you guys are wondering but let me know in the reviews.
