AN- I think I might me losing my touch in writing this story. I had a bit of writers block so sorry if this chapter is a bit "loose". I might not get the seventh chapter up anytime soon because I have to do a lot of things before school starts again. But I will try!
And let me thank you all for reading and reviewing! I really do appreciate everything! Even if you don't review and just read it, thank you so much and I really hope you liked it. And thanks too DimondSunshine for helping me!

'It's not going to be the same again. Living with people who aren't my family. Living in this house that isn't my home. But what can I do?' Jade thought as she sat on Tori's couch.
This isn't her first time in Tori's house. There's the time when she asked Tori to help her get back together with Beck but that was months ago.
She sat there alone, Tori was talking to her mother. Her mother was sweet and caring; of course she wouldn't mind Jade staying. Tori said her dad wouldn't mind either. But the only one who would care was Trina. Trina wasn't thrilled to have Jade living here but her mother told her to deal with it.
"Jade?" Mrs. Vega said coming down the stairs. Jade looked up at her.
"Tori and I agree on letting you stay here. And I would like it if you were to move in by the end of the day. We have a spare room. It has its own bathroom and everything!" Mrs. Vega explained. Jade half smiled. Her smiles were so empty.
"Um, ok. Then I'll just go pack then."
"Alright. Tori why don't you take Jade home and help her pack." she spoke to Tori.
'Part of me hates Tori for doing this but part of my also loves her for this. It's all controverting.' Jade thought.
Tori and Jade left Mrs. Vega in the kitchen.
"So I'll help you pack first or do you want to stop for ice cream first?"
"I hate ice cream...let's just go pack my stuff." Jade told Tori. Tori just nodded, slipping into the driver's seat as Jade slid into the passenger's seat. IT wasn't that long of a drive, Jade lived about 7 blocks from Tori. Jade's house was part of the "rich" block, or at least that's what everyone else who doesn't live there call it.
Once at Jade's house, they began to pack her clothes.
"Hey are you going to want to take any books from your shelves?" Tori asked pointing at book shelf. Jade sighed.
"Listen Vega, I said I would stay at your house. As in I would sleep there at night. I'm still coming to my house where all my things are. I'm just taking my clothes ok?" Jade hissed. She couldn't help it. She was a bit annoyed with Tori right now. Tori stood silent, not wanting to argue she just continues cleaning out Jade's wardrobe.
"Hey I'm a use you're bathroom." Tori said. Jade nodded and watched as Tori went into the bathroom. Five minutes later, Tori came out holding an object. Her face was paler than usual and her hand was shaking.
"Jade, what's this?" Tori said holding up a pregnancy test. Jade's face dropped.
"..." Jade couldn't find words to say.
"You-you're not pregnant...are you?" Tori asked.
"N-no! Well...I think not."
"What do you mean you don't think?"
"Look, James didn't use a condom...but it's too early to tell if I'm pregnant or not...you can't tell anyone!" Jade yelled. Tori swallowed hard looking at the pregnancy test box and then back to Jade.
"I-I won't I swear."
"OK then...I'm done packing. Help me carry theses bags to you're car." Jade told Tori. Surprisingly Jade only had 3 bags.
After hours and hours of unpacking and settling in, Jade was finally moved in to the Vega's house. It would take a long time to get use to living there but she would have to or else she'd have to move. But why doesn't she want to move? Does she want to stay in Holly Wood Arts? But why? Her rapist goes to that school. Why does she want to stay? She'd be staying in a place full of bad memories, full of hurt and anger. Though it brings her pain to stay, she doesn't want to leave. Something inside of her tells her to stay. If she moves it's like admitting to James that he won. That he had taken over her...it'd be showing weakness. And Jade has shown too much weakness. She has to get strong like before. She already decided she would move on no matter what. James wouldn't get the best of her. She won't allow it.
A distant knock got her attention back to the real world. She looked at the door. She was lying in bed.
"Come in." She said. The door opened. She expected it to be Tori but no it wasn't her. It-it was Beck. He stood there just looking at her. She sat up.
"B-Beck...what are you doing here?" Jade asked quietly but he had heard.
"I came to see you." He said stepping closed. Jade tensed up.
"H-how did you find me?" Her voice was so soft and quiet. It had fear in it.
"I called Tori. I know what happened. I know why you're here. It's ok Jade. I understand why you didn't want me to know." He explained. Her heart sank.
"You know? A-and you're not mad at me?" Jade said. He shook his head.
"I would never be mad at you. I mean it's not you're fault that you're mom died and you're father left you. I get it now."
Jade was confused. That's what he knows...for a second, only for a second, she felt happy to think that he knew everything about her rape. But no he spoke of her parents and that sudden feeling was taken away. She didn't care that he knew about her parents.
"And that's all you know?" Jade asked.
"Yeah and that you didn't want me to know because I would be so worried about you."
"W-who told you?"
"Tori. I can't believe it though. I mean, I thought you hated Tori."
"I needed a place to stay...I mean I-"
"It's ok. Tori told me that too." He said. Jade felt a bit of anger inside.
"What exactly did Tori tell you?"
"That you didn't want to move in with me 'cause you wouldn't feel comfortable. But don't get mad at Tori."
Jade only smiled. Beck walked over to her and hugged her. Jade froze with fear but he didn't do anything. He didn't push her down. He didn't do anything to her. Beck wasn't there to hurt her like she thought. Tears escaped from her eyes and on to Beck's shirt.
"It's ok. I'm here for you." Beck reassured her. While he kept thinking it was about her parents, Jade cried over the feeling of relief that she could once again let Beck hold her without having such fear.
They pulled away from each other. Jade smiled at Beck.
"I should probably get going before Tori's mom gets back." He said. Jade nodded and watched him leave. Only seconds after he left, Tori rushed in.
"What happened? Are you ok?" She asked out of breath.
"I'm fine chill. I'm actually…sort of happy." Jade admitted. Tori smiled.
"Why?"
"Because…I can let Beck hug me Tori! I can actually let him come close to me without feeling scared, without feeling the need to push him away." Jade cried. Tori sat down next to her. She felt happy for her. To most people it would be nothing to let someone hug them but to a victim of rape…it means the world to them. Its like a huge weight has been lifted up. It's a sign that prove this is where Jade belongs. Not hidden in the shadows of her pain but out with reality. That was the best feeling she could feel. And Tori, she couldn't feel but to take a little credit. She was the one who told Beck.
…..
'A month has gone by, the agent agreed for me to stay. And at school I made the excuse of being sick and things went back to normal. My life was falling back in to place. That was until…I didn't get my period. I-I can't understand why though. I should get it. Maybe I'm over thinking it. Maybe its just late…I can't be…p-pregnant right? But I will check tomorrow…I'll go tomorrow morning to my house before school. I'll take the pregnancy test just to reassure myself that I'm not pregnant. There's no way I can have James little runt. But why I thinking I'm pregnant? Jade, you are not pregnant. Stop thinking you are!' Jade thought as she paced around her room. Tori knocked on the door.
"Jade the guys are here! Let's go!" Tori said. Jade had forgotten about that, they made plans to go to the movies. Jade was fine again, being with her some what friends made her feel better. She and Beck had kissed, she didn't pull away. Everything was so right yet it felt so wrong.
AN- And it's a cliff hanger. A very bad one but it's one. So review pretty please!
