Could it mean something more?
A Cori Fan Fiction
When Sikowitz gives the class an assignment on stage kissing none of them ever thought it would mean so much more. Deciding to make it more challenging he pairs Tori and Cat together, unaware that this decision would lead them into a discovery of true feelings and more.
Tori's P.O.V
My Dad was gone.
Not in the literal sense, no. Instead the screaming and banging that had aroused my suspicion was due to the fact he had left home.
I sprinted downstairs and saw my sister and mother kneeling on the floor both in tears. Trina's mascara and eye make-up was running but for once I swear she didn't care. Instead her arms were around my Mom's and they were both sobbing endlessly. I saw pieces of glass shattered across the floor and a picture of our family torn so that my Dad was no longer in it. That hit me the hardest. It was then that I heard a constant ringing in my ears as I stumbled my way down the rest of the stairs. Then I remembered something, something that pierced my lungs making it hard for me to breathe. The last thought that crossed my mind was;
He never said goodbye.
And then everything went black.
…
I could hear faint voices but the whole world sounded as if I was underwater, swimming amongst colorful fish. The mesmerizing scene now before me was breathtaking. Lights danced in front of my eyes and seaweed tickled beneath my toes. I giggled, not even taking a second thought about how I could breathe even if I was underwater. In that moment all I cared about was getting away from my life, from the horrors that lurk around every corner, never seeming to stop. Suddenly I saw a red object floating amidst the swaying colors and so I decided to move towards it. Soon I realized the object was in fact hair…attached to…a body. A silk dress was draped loosely over the beautiful girls figure. The way it hung made it seem as though it was a forever moving waterfall. Shocked I reached my hand out to touch the figure only to realize I knew who it was. The figure turned and I saw the warm smiling face of my best friend, Cat. Suddenly her features shifted as her eyes widened and she clutched her stomach. A red liquid started to appear around the area she was holding and soon it was swirling amongst the water making patterns, which would have been beautiful, if it wasn't for the horrific reasons they were being made.
"Cat," I yelled as she started falling backwards, backwards into a dark shadowy realm that had ceased to exist moments before.
"Cat!" I yelled again watching as my fantasy started to merge into a nightmare.
"Cat…" I whispered as I found myself too weak to stand, "Cat, Cat, Cat, Cat?" I murmured over and over again as a soft hand gripped my wrist pulling me back up to the surface, away from the nightmares and fantasy dreams.
"It's ok Tori, I'm here." A melodic voice soothed calling me back to the darkness I had just left.
…
It seemed like hours later but soon I felt my heavy eyelids begin to pry themselves open. Bright lights blinded me as I rubbed my eyes and silently stretched. Looking around I noticed that I was in my room which was strange because before I could have sworn I was in the living room when my Dad…My thoughts trailed off as I remembered what had taken place before.
I reached over for my pearpod to see how long I had been asleep for and found that I had been unconscious for two whole days! I sighed when the thought of the project came to mind and what I was going to do about the situation with Cat.
I'll do it.
It was as simple as that. It's only one assignment after all and anyway it is just acting. With that thought consoling me I decided to start getting ready. It was 5:00 am so school started in another 3 hours that meant I could nab the shower before Trina wakes up AND have enough time to check TheSlap.
After peeling my pajama's off my damp skin I tossed them in the laundry and grabbed my towel from my room. Once in the bathroom I started to run the taps until I felt the hot water slip through my fingers. Satisfied, I turned the shower head on and stepped in. The feeling was glorious. The water ran down my back gently caressing my skin and refreshing my body. Instantly I felt a calming sensation grip me as I let the water take hold. Sighing I grabbed the bottle of shampoo and poured some onto my hand. Lathering it up I started to work it through my hair, right from the roots all the way to the tips. I felt my hair start to become more vibrant (if you can feel that?) and I started smiling slightly. Rinsing the shampoo from my hair, I stepped out of the shower (after turning it off of course) and wrapped the velvety towel around my wet body.
I stood there in the bathroom for a while remembering my dreamish nightmare. Cat was there and I'm pretty sure that was Cat's voice bringing me back to reality…
…
There was an hour left before I was due at school so I logged onto my page only to be swarmed by hundreds of notifications. They were all pretty much the same; OMG Tori we're so sorry to hear about your Dad! x, Are you ok? Etc. It was all pretty much from people in my class at Hollywood arts but some were from older or younger students as well. Sighing I shut the lid and stuffed it back under my bed. I was just about to gather my things when my phone beeped.
Cat
Tori are you ok? :( x
I frowned at her concern. It was really sweet of her to worry so I texted back immediately.
Tori
Aww thanks for asking, I'm better now. U didn't come round at all did u? :S x
Cat
Yeah! It was so cool your Mom baked me cupcakes! But it was sad because you were still asleep and also kept saying my name? :S x
Tori
I did? x
Uh-oh this wasn't good. I don't normally sleep talk but I guess the occasion must have influenced me slightly. Great! This is just what I need.
Cat
Yeah. It made me feel special cuz it shows u r my best friend! :) :) :) :) x
Phew, for once her naïve nature came in handy.
Tori
That's cuz u r! My BFFLEWWDAEATT (Best friends for life even when we die and even after that too) :) :) :) x
Cat
Yay! But I don't want us 2 die :'( x
Tori
Hey now, don't worry ok BFF ;) x
Cat
Kk see u at school! BFF :D x
I shut off my phone and slipped it into the pocket in my bag. Then hitching it onto my shoulder I was ready to face the day ahead.
…
When I arrived at school I saw Sinjin sitting on the steps. Not really wanting to socialize with him I turned abruptly and walked straight into Beck.
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you like that, are you ok?" I asked deciding I would try out my acting and pretend I had amnesia (a normal morning at Hollywood Arts of course).
Beck look at me, his face showing that he was slightly confused before replying, "I'm o…k. Umm Tori you do know you can call me Beck you know?"
I tilted my head to the side before taking his hand and shaking it.
"Oh...ok. It's nice to meet you Beck." I giggled.
He still looked confused until it hit him, "Oh my God you've got amnesia don't you? Do you know who I am?" He asked panicked.
I pretended to survey him before shaking my head. Then once seeing his face drop I couldn't help but start laughing.
"What?" he asked, even more confused now.
"Beck…I…do…know…who…you…are…silly! I…was…joking!" I said between fits of giggles.
"Oh…good," he sighed relief flooding his features. Suddenly he started laughing too and soon we were both breathless.
After chatting some more and me explaining what had happened (even though I wasn't 100% certain myself) we were joined by the rest of our gang.
Jade, Cat, Andre, Beck, Robbie and I were all standing there pleasantly, well Jade was just standing there but still, until Sinjin walked up to us.
"Hi Jade," he whispered before pulling a Justin Beiber mask over his face. He pulled out his pearpod and soon the tune to Baby by Justin was filling the hallway. Sinjin started dancing coming closer and closer towards Jade. When the lyrics started up Jade's face turned into a scowl as she started to walk towards Sinjin. He decided to make a break for it and unfortunately for him Jade followed. We all just burst into spasms of laughter as a terrified Sinjin tried to escape the wrath of Jade West.
Like I said a normal morning at Hollywood Arts.
So what did you all think? I know it's not great but this was kinda just a filler chapter to explain some things and also to have Tori wake up. The chapters will get better I promise :) I have a speech due Friday so I might not get around to uploding until Saturday afternoon (GMT England time) at the latest. Please bare with me because I actually haven't started the speech and it's worth quite a bit of our final grade :/ Wish me luck :)
What did you think of the Cori moments? What about the Jinjin (OMG love that lol) moment? Tell me by reviewing! Please review it really means a lot to me and I'm aiming for 30 reviews before I upload the next chapter in a few days time, so that means 8 for this chapter :)
Next chapters gonna have a plot twist in it! DUN DUN DUNNNNN! Whether you like it or not well you're just gonna have to wait and see...MWAHAHAHAHA!
(cue random music :P) Until our paths cross once more...BYEEEEEEE!
