"Please, Ren, just let me explain!" Tori reached out for the tall boy when he tried to retreat back into his house, after he realized that it was his ex-girlfriend standing on his doorstep.
"What is there to explain, Tori? I saw it, everyone saw it. You got caught, just let it go."
"I want to explain myself to you! I didn't mean to hurt you, I never wanted to hurt you, Ren! I care about you!"
"If you really cared about me so much, why would you cheat on me with Jade? How did you and her even happen? I don't understand, I thought you hated each other." Ren grabbed at his temples as he developed a migraine, appearing in his mind when he began to think about the giant spectacle that had happened on Friday. The event that caused both Jade and Tori to be suspended for two weeks, put on probation for the rest of the year, and destroyed any relationship they had with friends or otherwise prior. Their lives were ruined.
"I.. I started this thing with Jade before you and I even got together! She seduced me, I was ready to be with you, and she got jealous." Tori held on to the boy in front of her, she searched his eyes for any spark of forgiveness. Any sign that would tell her that she would had a chance at fixing her relationship with him, even if they just remained friends. She couldn't lose him, he was the only one that she could trust not to turn his back completely on her.
"Jealous?"
"I don't know, the chick's a psychopath!"
"Yeah, okay, I agree with that one." Ren chuckled, briefly letting go of his unforgiving demeanor.
"So, can I come in and talk to you? Please."
"Sure. Come in, but don't think that our relationship's going back to what it was. I may forgive you, but I don't trust you anymore. I hope you understand."
"Yes, I do, thank you." Tori walked into the warm house past Ren, brokenhearted that she had lost another boy that she really cared about. She had thought that he might be the one, and she ruined it.
Ren frowned slightly when he watched the girl he once loved walk in past him. He had that she might be the one, but she ruined it.
...
Damn it, Beck, if you don't pick up this phone... Jade placed the phone to her ear once again, hoping that her ex-boyfriend would pick up already. This was her fifteenth time calling him since the ordeal. He's lucky I'm even attempting to explain, Jade thought as she listened to the phone ring, hoping that finally she could hear him speak on the other line, and not have it be his voicemail.
"Jade?" Beck sighed, "What do you want? Stop blowing up my phone."
"Whatever, Beck, I just wanted to talk to you. Try to explain."
"We're not getting back together, Jade. What would I look like, getting back together with you, and you humiliated me in front of the entire school? Can you imagine how I felt when I saw you and Tori together in that closet?"
Jade suddenly felt a twinge of guilt for all of the people she had hurt: Tori, Ren, Beck, Cat, Andre', Robbie. Her actions had caused drama in a lot of people's lives, and all because she couldn't keep it in her pants.
"Okay, Beck, I already feel like a shitty person. I just don't want to leave us like this, avoiding each other, no closure. We've been together too long to just leave it at that."
"Oh, wow! When did Jade West grow feelings?"
"When I realized that I really hurt and disappointed someone that I love."
"Why Tori? I thought that you and Cat had a thing," Beck asked, the thing that had been troubling his mind since the discovery, finally escaping his mouth.
"No, Cat has a thing for me. I don't want her, she's my best friend, and plus, I'd feel like a child molester. The girl is mentally, like, 6 years old," Jade said, matter-of-factually.
"Okay, I get that, but again, why Tori?"
"Why does it matter?" Jade sighed.
"Because, I wanna know why you chose her over me. What does she have over me?" Beck asked, insecurities sinking in. What does Tori have that I don't? A bigger dick? Why would she choose her?
"Who said that I chose her over you?"
"You made your decision Jade, when the entire school caught you fucking her in the janitor's closet," Beck said, voice brimming to the top with malice. "I know you went after her first. Tori is too good to do something like that to a friend, without influence."
"See? Why is everyone siding with Sweet Sally Peaches? Everybody, the school, our friends, everyone is acting like I raped her or something! Like she's so innocent, I forced her. I didn't force her! She's not innocent." Jade became enraged when she thought about what Beck was implying, again, that she had forced Tori into sleeping with her for all of that time, that the other girl's choices were never a part of the equation. She hated the fact that she was being blamed for everything that had happened recently.
...
"I got that boom da boom boom, boom da boom boom bass! I got that Super Bass!" Trina sang as she came bounding down the stairs, irritated that she had to answer the door just because her sister was 'depressed'. Her happy-go-lucky-fun-singtime immediately ended as soon as she saw who was at the door.
"Hello, Trina," Jade said in obvious distaste for the Vega in front of her, "is your sister here?"
"Yes, but I'm not letting you speak to her, Jade. You ruined her life." Trina flipped into big-sister-mode, ready to use her karate training if the evil goth got too close.
"Look, I don't want to fight with you, Trina. I just want to speak to her." Jade was beginning to get annoyed.
"No, you're not. You got what you always wanted, Jade. She's gone."
"What?" Jade couldn't believe her ears. Does she mean that Tori killed herself? But wha-?
"She's not coming back to Hollywood Arts, just like you wanted. You ruined her life, humiliated her, and now she's done. I hope you're happy with yourself."
"I ruined her life? Listen here, Trina, and you spread the word: Everything that Tori did with me, was her choice. I didn't put a spell on her, rape her, or anything you and those idiots choose to believe. She's not this innocent little victim, she responded to my advances willingly. We ruined each other's lives. I don't think that I can face the humiliation at Hollywood Arts, either."
"Jade?" Tori walked down the stairs, planning to retrieve a bottle of water, when she spotted the raven-haired girl at her door. "What's up?"
"Your arrogant sister won't let me in to talk to you."
Tori sighed, "Trina let her in. I need to talk to her, too." She walked up to Jade, who was now out of the rain and into the house, and grabbed her hand. She then led her to her room, ready to get the record set straight.
I hope you guys enjoyed this slightly longer chapter. Took a lot out of me, for I still have writer's block. Sorry that this chapter is dialogue heavy, but it's needed to bring the story forward. I may need to clarify why the friends are mad so:
Andre: He's mad at Tori for not telling him what was going on with Jade. He's mad at Jade for betraying his best friend with his other best friend.
Robbie: He's mad at both of them for lowering his social status even more. People are teasing him, saying that the girls would rather be lesbians than date him. It's messing with his ego.
Cat: She's mad at Jade for going after Tori instead of her. She's mad at Tori for sleeping with her best friend who is in a committed relationship. Kinda hypocritical, as she had wished that Jade would go after her.
Also, I know that Hollywood Arts is located in a more liberal area of the country, and so realistically, the student body wouldn't be that much opposed to LGBT students. But that wouldn't make for much a good story would it? Conflict, people, good stories need it.
Anyway, thanks for reading and review. I hope I'm doing well with this story, I think I might go back and change some things, as I should've planned out the plot more. But eh, I'm lazy as hell. I'll update later, see ya'll.
Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious, and I'm really craving spaghetti tacos for some reason. Damn iCarly.
