Disclaimer: still working on owning Victorious, not quite there yet.
Jade's POV
Avery and I are on a basketball court playing a little one on one, and Avery is beating me ten to two, "Face it Jade, you're not going to catch up" she said to me as she made yet another shot, then turned to me a small smirk on her face.
"Oh wipe that smirk off your face," I smile at her, then I dribble the ball up the hoop shoot and the ball falls over the side of the hoop. I groan frustrated that I missed the shot yet again and Avery started laughing hysterically the ball gripped to her chest, I run up to her and snatch the ball from her grip going to make another shot and it bounces off the hoop, and Avery laughs even harder.
"How's that catching up working for you?" she questioned me between breaths.
"Oh shut up," I smile at her, handing her the ball, "I'll be back to play with you later, I have to go check on the others," I tell her. She nods still with a huge smile on her face and turns back you shoot more hoops, I walk away to go and see what everyone else is up to.
Seirra and Noah are sitting on the swings trying to get started pumping their little legs as fast as they can, but still not going more than a couple of inches. I run up behind them and put one hand on each of their backs and push them up.
"Thank you Jadey," Noah laughed going back and forth on the swing.
I grabbed Noah's swing stopping him and the back position, "No problem kiddo," I tell him, then kiss his cheek and let him go after giving him and huge push. I give Seirra one last big push then walk away to see where the other kids have gotten to.
I see Molly and Lilac climbing on the jungle gym, but I soon realize I will never be able to climb into a three year olds jungle gym and slowly walk away after checking to make sure that they both seemed like they were doing ok.
May is sitting under a tree alone, with a notebook and pencil in hand drawing; I walk up and realize that she is humming to herself. Debating whether I should go and talk to her or just leave her by herself for now because she seems perfectly content siting there alone. Finally I decide just to leave her be for now and walk by her giving her a wave as I walk past.
Carson is sitting not too far away under another tree, playing on his DS. What a surprise! "Hey dude," I say as I sit down next to him.
"Hey," he responds not looking up from his game.
"Why don't you go and play on the jungle gym with the others instead of playing video games all day," I questioned him. I have been trying to get him to stop playing so much videogames lately.
"No, I need to pass this level!" Carson told me, still concentrating on his game. His lounge slightly sticking out of his mouth in concentration.
"Whatever," I say standing up and walk away over to a bench that looked over the park so I could see all of the kids, Lily was sitting on the bench next to me rereading Harry Potter I believe for the fifth time. "Hey Lily, how many times are you going to read that series?" I questioned her. She shrugged her eyes still glued to the page in concentration, "Haven't you memorized them yet? I sure you can repeat the whole story to me without missing a word." I tell her a smile on her face.
She puts the book down with a small smile on her face as well, "Not quite yet, but I'm working on it," she laughs and I laugh with her for a few minutes, then her head turns back to her book, eyes once again glued to the page.
Will was sitting on the ground in front of me working on some math equation. I look over his shoulder to see what he is up to, on the paper all I see is complicated equations I wouldn't even know where to begin with, "Dude, why don't you go and play with Carson or Noah?"
"Because I need to complete this math equation for the day, part of my club," Will responded to me, leave it to him to join a math club.
"Whatever dude, but you're missing out on having some fun," I tell him.
"Oh I can assure you that this particular problem is quite fun to complete, one of my favorite types," he tells me, then looks back down to the problem he has sitting on his lap, I shrug then lean back on the bench again waiting for something exciting to happen, besides Harry Potter and math problems.
Just when I have just about given up hope of something eventful happening, Lilac and Molly came walking up to me holding the hands of a little girl that looked no older than three years old. The small girl had light brown hair with blonde highlights and blue green eyes. When the three girls made it up to me, Lilac began making introductions, "Jadey this is Madi, we found her on the jungle gym and she says she lives in a foster home," the three year old said to me, then turned to Madi, "this is Jadey, she watches out for us, she's the coolest person in the whole wide world.
Madi gave me a small smile and gentle waved her hand in a hello.
"Hi," I said to her gently, "How old are you?" I asked her. She held up five fingers towards me and I raised an eyebrow. Madi was so small, she looked no older then maybe three years old but to hear that this little girl was five years old shocked me. "What's your full name sweetie?"
"Tabitha Madison Clover," she answered me in a gentle voice, "I like being called Madi best though, but you can call me Tabby if you want."
I nodded, "Which foster home did you come from?" I questioned her.
"Mr. and Mrs. Miller, but please don't send me back there, I don't like it there, please don't," Madi begged and tears started streaming down her little face.
"Come here," I requested opening my arms up, Madi ran into them and wrapped her skinny arms around me clutching onto the back of my jacket for dear life, "Shush, I will see what I can do, ok?" she nodded against my chest.
Back at the House- Beck's POV
The gang and I pulled up in my truck to the alley; we walked straight into the house not bothering to knock because Jade was expecting us. When we made it inside I stopped in shock the living room was a mess glass all over the floor. I walked farther into the house with Andre while the rest stayed by the door. In the living room we found Brett, Ryan, and Mel all holding ice bags on different places of their body. Jess was examining her swollen hands, and Peyton was swinging her arm around her shoulder popping several times.
"What happened in here" Andre questioned the group, eyes wide in shock.
Ryan lifted an ice bag from her jaw, "there was a little fight," she whispered her jaw in obvious pain, and then laid the ice bag back on her jaw.
"Little," I commented raising an eyebrow in disbelief, this is far from little, "who was fighting who, I am very confused her, I thought your five were very close.
Brett told us the story of Stevie having sex getting in a fight then leaving, Millie being a Bitch (which I don't get because she is normally pretty nice when I saw her), then Jess attacking Millie and in the process hurting Ryan, Mel, and Peyton. Of Jade getting mad and leaving with the kids to the park.
By the end of the story the rest of the gang had migrated into the room with me and Andre, we were all standing there shocked of what had happened while we were gone, "How is Millie?" I asked then girls and Brett just shrugged.
Marie walked in and I assume she overheard us talking because she reported what she had just seen upstairs, "Alright I guess, she woke up a few minutes ago and her head hurts really badly, so she has ice".
We held them clean up and before we knew it the house looked back to new besides the lamp the was missing and the picture down from the wall.
Twenty minutes later, we were down stairs watching TV and getting along fairly well I might add, even with the few rivals sitting in the room, only way you could tell was Jess and Mel were sitting on opposite sides of the room and the slight arguments over what to watch.
Soon Jade walked through the door holding a little girls hand, the rest of the kids traveling in behind her, she walked straight upstairs followed quickly by Molly, Lilac, and Seirra. The rest of the kids came in the living room with us, "Who was that?" I questioned the kids.
"Madi, Lilac and Molly found her on the playground by herself she ran away from her foster home," Avery answered nonchalantly sitting down on the floor beside me to watch TV, her sweaty arm brushing against mine.
"Yes young Madi, was discovered by Lilac without a coat, she has informed us that her mother has passed and her father beat her, she was sent to the Miller foster home with her sister, but ran away not too long ago," Will retold us.
Avery rolled her eyes beside me, "Yes I just told them that, whimp," Avery growled to him.
"I believe I gave them a few more important details," Will answered back them walked to the other side of the room and sat down to watch TV, yet another rivalry to deal with. From beside me Avery grabbed the remote from Jess's hand behind her head, pressed a few simple buttons and Barney came on the TV, and Will stood up running out of the room as Avery laughed.
Oh goodness, one thing was for sure in this house, you are never bored.
