A/N: Very late. Very badly written. Writer's block sucks. Next one is pretty darn... interesting, and will be on time. By the way, I proof read this myself, so they're might be mistakes. (Usually I have my best friend edit because I can't stand proofreading)

Chapter 8: Fix a Heart


Baby, tell me how could you,

Be so cruel

It's like you're pouring salt on my cuts

Baby, I just ran out of band-aids

I don't even know where to start

'Cause you can't bandage the damage

You never really can fix a heart


Everyone sat in Beck's living room. "I've never been in this room." Tori commented, looking around the spacious and beautifully decorated room. Beck's parents liked expensive. "Yeah... so we all have a problem that needs to be resolved. Tori is a possible drug addict."

"No I'm not!"

"Anyway, Andre is having trouble at home. I have a drinking problem. Jade is having an identity crisis. Rob is apparently wanted by Trina and Daniel, and then Cat... Cat's the only normal person." Beck began, wanting to get it over with as soon as possible.

"I say we start off with..." Jade paused to think... "Let's start off with how Cat is the only one without a problem." Cat looked around the room, meeting everyone's eyes. She met Robbie's and looked away quickly. Her face tinting red. "We have to be serious for once." Beck said, running a hand through his hair out of frustration. Everyone sat in silence, waiting for the next thing to be said. "Tori... we're your friends. Open up to us about your problem."

"I'm not a drug addict!"Tori screeched, causing Jade to roll her eyes. "I am not a drug addict! Oh, no! Little ol' me would never do such a thing." Jade said in her Tori impersonation voice. "I don't sound like that!"

"Whatever."

"Then what is all the crap about?"

"I tried Meth once! Just once. I promised to never do it again. It was a one time thing, I swear." Tori explained, making her friends look down, regretting the fact that they believed the masses instead of asking her.

"So, who's next?" Beck asked, ready to move on. "What's going on at home Andre?" Cat asked, as everyone turned their attention to the African American teen. "Well, you know... just trying to help Nicole out. Apparently she really likes Sinjin, but she can't stop sleeping around."

"That's nice of you to help out a friend." Robbie said, directing it toward Tori, knowing that she still felt Andre and Nicole were more than friends. "Yeah... so uhm, Jade? What do we call you?"

"Jade."

"Then what's the whole identity crisis thing about?"

"...Nothing."

"You have to speak about it Jade." Beck instructed. "It's complicated."

"They're your friends." Jade frowned. "Fine! I'm tired of acting like the misunderstood, bitch of the group. I want to embrace the old me, but I don't want to lose the self-esteem I have now. Happy?" Jade said, pulling a pair of scissors out of her bag, she started to trim the ends of her hair. "So what about you, Robbie?" Tori asked. "Oh… you know Trina is just trying to get with me. Daniel hates me, and so does Roma. No big deal. Beck, your turn."

"Uhm… I'm addicted to drinking, and I'm going to try to stop." Everyone stayed silent. "Let's have a group hug!" Cat spoke up, a smile on her lips as she stood up from the couch. "Cat's right. We just put everything out on the table why not hug away the problems?" Tori agreed. Jade shrugged, standing up to join the girls. The guys frowned as they stood up, huddling together to form a giant hug. "See, this is nice." Cat commented. The group of teenagers stood there for a moment. Beck felt something hard against his leg, making him break away. "Please tell me that was someone's phone!" Robbie and Andre freaked out looking down to make sure it wasn't what they thought. "It was mine." Tori said, pulling her phone out of her front pocket.


Tori looked over at Cat, as the two were on their way to meet Trina at a restaurant. "You don't find it weird that we are getting ready to eat lunch with Trina and Roma?" Cat looked out the window of the car, thinking. "Yeah, it is, but it was nice for them to invite us. Maybe they want to talk things out."

"Or, they're up to something."

"Tori, do you remember when Dory, from Finding Nemo, told Marlin to 'just keep swimming'?"

"Yeah... but what does that have to do with Trina and Roma?"

"Oh, nothing. What were we talking about? Ooh! Look! Its a cute little old couple enjoying their dinner outside." Cat said pointing to the couple that they passed. Tori shook her head as she continued down the road.

"Hey, Tori. Cat." Trina smiled as the two younger girls arrived. "We're upstairs on the balcony." Trina guided them to their seats. Roma was already seated at the table. She stood and gave the teens a hug before they took a seat. "So..." Tori began, not knowing what to say. "How's Robbie?" Roma asked Cat. Tori's eyes widened, this probably wasn't going to end well. "Well, you know. He really misses you, and doesn't like that you aren't talking to him."

"Oh really? Well maybe he shouldn't hurt the people that he loves, then he'd be able to keep them."

"What do you mean?" Cat asked, confused. Tori kept her eyes on Roma, there was something off about this Shapiro. "He didn't tell you? What kind of boyfriend wouldn't tell you all the horrible things going on? It seems Robert can't keep his hands to himself lately. First he broke into Daniel's house, and beat him up pretty badly. Then he mislead Trina, and of course he had to push our mother when she tried to be nice to him. He's just one angry boy." Tori wanted to jump in and tell Cat that Roma lied about everything, but she didn't have proof. Cat frowned, "That doesn't seem like something..."

"Oh, poor little naïve , Cat. Don't you get it? You're in love with an abusive, cheating monster."

"No..."

"I'm afraid it's true, Cat." Trina spoke up. Cat stood up from the table. "What's that supposed to mean? !"

"Last night, Robbie came over and things got a little physical. He got mad that I wouldn't sleep with him." Trina shown Cat her arm, huge purple bruises visible. Tori shook her head, those 'bruises' were not there earlier... "I don't believe you!" Cat screamed, taking everyone by surprise. Trina somehow ended up out of her chair, with her back against the railing of the balcony. Cat freaked out, making her way towards Trina, Roma did the same. Cat held out her hand, ready to grab Trina so she wouldn't lose her balance. Too late. Trina fell over, screaming as she fell into a bush. "Ow... my leg." Cat and Tori stood horrified. "Look what you did!" Roma screamed, running down the stairs to be by Trina's side, calling the ambulance on her way. "Come on, we have to go." Tori said, grabbing Cat's hand and pulling her away. Cat began to cry. Was it all her fault? Now she did have a problem like everyone else. She seriously hurt Trina.


The waiting room was a horrible scene. Tori paced back and forth, trying to figure out what really happened at the restaurant. Cat sat in one of the cold metal chairs, still crying. Roma was currently in the room with Trina. Tori's phone began to ring. "Mom? Dad? Where are you guys? San Diego! Why? Ugh... fine. Okay. Bye." Tori hung up the phone, making her way towards Cat. "My parents aren't going to make it tonight. What are we going to do?"

"I'm a murder, Tori."

"No, you're not Cat. This is all one big accident. Plus, Trina isn't dead."

"No, I pushed Trina off of a balcony. Why am I such a bad person."

"I don't think you pushed her..." "Cat? Tori?" Andre called out, as he, Robbie, Beck and Jade came running towards them. Tori got up, hugging Andre tightly, before pulling him, Jade, and Beck away, to explain what happened. Robbie walked over to Cat, putting his arm around her. Cat pushed him away, "I'm a horrible person. I don't deserve to be cuddled with right now."

"I'm sure its not your fault, Cat."

"I'm looking for a Tori Vega?" A tall, slender, Doctor asked, looking around the waiting room. Tori walked up to him, "I'm Tori Vega. Is everything alright?"

"Everything is fine, just a broken bone that will heal in time. Your sister wants to speak with you."


"Trina? Are you alright?" Tori asked, as she walked in, Roma walking out and giving her a death stare. "I'm fine actually. Can you get me some water?" Trina asked, pointing to the red canister on a table near by. Tori did what was asked. "You wanted to see me for some water?"

"No, I wanted to see you, to talk."

"About?"

"Why didn't you say something to Cat at the restaurant?"

"What could I have said? It would have only made things worst."

"It probably could have prevented this." Trina said, pointing to the huge ugly green cast on her leg. Tori's eyebrows raised. "What?"

"I never realized how mean I was to you, and your friends, until my life flashed before my eyes during my fall."

"Uh.."

"Robbie didn't do any of the things Roma and I said he did. We just want to make his life hell, but its not worth it."

"Trina..."

"I'm not finished. He hates Daniel and Roma can't stand that. She wants him to feel the pain she felt when she found out that he was serious about Cat. Did you know that they are not blood related? Robbie thinks they are, but they're not. Roma is practically in love with him, well she was until Daniel came along... then she really wanted me and Rob to work out, but like I said, Cat came in the way and screwed everything up. I don't want Robbie the same way I used to. I just wanted to help out my close friend. The guy I really want rejected me because of his new blondie. Do you know how much it hurts to have your heart broken? I mean, sure I played hard to get with Sinjin, but they're supposed to chase you, not give up. And now, I'm broken legged, I know that isn't a word, and you can't fix a broken heart. Can you? No!" Trina frowned, as she stopped talking. Tori just stood there, not knowing what to do.


A/N: So yeah... next chapter is... i'll let it be a surprise. :)
