AN- So sorry it took me a LONG time to write this, I've been stuck on writers block and I've been way too busy to write. So sorry but please read and review And i apologize if its not...good. I am not fully over my writes block :/

She use to be so confident in everything she did. She would take pride in everything she did. Regardless of what everyone else said she knew she would out shine everyone. She had courage. But where has all the courage gone? She can't seem to find it anymore. When told her that she was due to her trial in a week, she lost all courage to even go through with it. She had no faith in what she was doing. For once in her life, she was not so confident. She had doubts. She wasn't so sure if she would be able to out shine him. To put him in jail for once and give him what he deserves. She's scared, down right scared and its seems she can't rid of that fear. Beck, Tori, Cat, Andre, Robbie and even Tori's parents keep telling her she's going to win. Oh sure, they can all be so confident but she can't be. They didn't go through what she did. They were not pined down to the ground while someone ripped them apart. They are not going to feel what she feels. So tell her all they want but they will not understand how she feels right now. Mr. Vega probably told her the most terrifying thing yet. He told her that if she wanted to win, she was going to have to tell every little detail of that night. She would have to tell them how she was thrown to the ground so viciously. How he stumbled on top of her that night. How she went to that party with him regardless of the fact that she had a boyfriend at the time. How she agreed to go into the woods with him. How she knew she could have said no but she didn't, instead she took his hand and followed him to the woods. She would have to say all that and all the small details in between. What's worse is that everyone was going to be there. Tori and her parents, maybe even Trina, and Beck. Her boyfriend, the one person that she loves, is going to have to listen to all those horrible details. He's going to have to listen to everything and how she's pregnant. Pregnant with someone else's child.

"Jade?" A distant voice pulled her out of her thoughts. Jade sat up on her bed and looked towards the voice. Tori stood at the edge of her bed.

"Hey." Jade said as Tori took as seat on her bed.

"I know my dad came to talk to you. And Trina finally found out was going on through my mom. I was just wondering if you were alright? I know this is pretty stressful for you."

"Yeah, I'm fine. I don't really mind that your mom told Trina. I knew she would figure it out on her own anyways. She's not that stupid."

"Well I actually meant about what my dad told you. Have you thought of what you are going to say?"

"No, I don't even know what to say. Tori, I can't do this! What am I suppose to say? That I went to the party with him and drank beer and then willingly followed him in to the woods to see a damn lake that I knew really wasn't there!" Jade yelled. Tori only looked down. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out.

"You said no, didn't you? You said no and he didn't listen to you! You can't let him get away with that!" Tori yelled back.

"But who's going to believe me? Where am I going to get the proof?" Jade asked softly.

"I believe you. And there's something called a doctor, eye witnesses and you're having his child. Jade, you have to believe that you will win." Tori said to her. Jade was shaking. She has to at least try to believe that she will win. If not, then there's no point in doing this now is there? Why would she go through with something that she's terrified of and not even believe that she can't win. It's pointless.

Tori's POV

I walked downstairs after having my talk with Jade. I know she's terrified and stressed out. You can just see it in her eyes. And it makes me feel bad. I want to help her so badly, if only I knew how. But what worries me most, is the baby. She can't keep stressing out like this. She needs to relax. But the more I tell her to relax, the more she stresses. All I want is for her to be calm and to wait until the trial. Because god knows that she will be nervous as hell in her day of trial. The more stress she gets, the bigger the chances will be in it effecting the baby.

I got pulled away by my phone vibrating. It's Andre. I'm surprised it's not Cat. She's always calling me to see if Jade's ok. It's just like Cat to worry for everyone else.

"Hey." I said smiling through the phone. I'm not sure why but speaking to Andre makes me feels a lot better.

"Hey there Tori." He said through the other end of the line.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Oh nothing. I just got bored…and I'm not sure why but I got the sense that you were stressed out a bit." He said.

"I swear Andre, how do you always know what's going on with me?" I laughed. But it's true. He always has a way of figuring me out. It's like I'm his puzzle and he always figures me out.

"It's just intuition...that and Jade text-ed me. Apparently you two talked and when you left she said that you looked worried."

"Oh, no wonder."

"So what's wrong?" He asked. I sighed.

"Nothing I can't handle." I said proudly.

"Ah, see that's your problem Miss Vega." He told me. I raised an eyebrow, not that he can see.

"What are you talking about Mr. Harris?" I questioned.

"You always think you can handle things on your own. But that's going to explode in your face one day. Look, be read in about 10 minutes."

"What? Why?"

"I'm picking you up and we're going for ice cream. You need some distressing." He said. I didn't even get a moment to protest because he hung up. How dare he just leave me speechless on the phone! But maybe hanging out with him isn't going to be such a bad idea. I mean ever since this whole thing that happened, I never really get to hang out anymore. I'm too busy being there for Jade. I'm not complaining, I would never complain, but getting to distress sounds…fun.

I sighed as I went back up stairs to Jade's room. I didn't bother knocking and just went in.

"You told Andre? Seriously?" I asked standing in her door way. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Look, you just need to stop stressing. Take some time to relax." She said, I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, I will. But you should take your own advice and RELAX." I said. Hell, if she's going to tell me to relax then she should do it too.

"It's easier said than done." She grinned. Once again I rolled my eyes and walked out of her room. She's can be such a hypocrite sometimes.

I went to my room and got ready. I tossed on some jeans and a white shirt…err, maybe I should changed it to a black shirt. If I'm going to eat ice cream then I don't want to risk getting a stain on a perfectly nice white shirt.

I walked downstairs yet another time and hurried to put my shoes on as I heard Andre honking his horn. I practically ran to the car. He smiled as I jumped into his car.

"Hey there." I said smiling. He pulled out of the drive way.

"So, ready for some distressing?" He asked as he drove to Dairy King. I sighed loudly.

"Yes. I want to but I'm not so sure it'll happen. I mean Jade-"

"Come on! You have got to quit worrying about her. I know we're all worried but if you keep trying to help her, you only stress her and yourself out even more. Right now she needs to worry about herself. As should you."

"I know! But its hard when she's all depressed looking. And I can't help it if I worry!" I protested.

"I know we all are worried. But you are like all up in her case. That's the whole reason she called me. You keep smothering her. She needs to figure things out at her pace. Let her breathe, and let your self breathe too. And of course she's going to be all depressed looking after…what she's been through." We fell quiet for a second. Rape in general is horrible but when you actually have a friend that has gone through that, it makes you hurt a bit too. I sighed, well what is it with me and all this sighing?

"You're right. So lets just get me some ice cream!" I cheered. We parked and got out of the car. We walked into Dairy King and ordered our ice cream. I got my banana split and Andre got his ice cream Sunday. My eyes widen when I saw my delicious ice cream coming towards me.

"Mhm! My ice cream's here!" I said happily as the lady handed me my banana split. Andre chuckled as he got his.

"Somebody's eager for her ice cream." He said as we picked a booth and sat in it.

"Yes, I haven't had a banana split in such a long time!" I said. We ate our ice cream slowly. It was just silence between us. He looked so cute when he's eating his ice cream like that. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Did I just say warm and fuzzy? I'm sounding like Cat more each day.

I laughed at the thought of me becoming Cat. Me…Cat…ha! I laughed loudly and looked at Andre. He's looking at me like I'm crazy.

"Why are you suddenly laughing?" He asked with a small laugh. I shook my head and stopped laughing.

"I just thought of me becoming Cat and how I would be all happy and cheerful. And would be wearing all theses shinning colorful clothes. And I would be so bipolar." I ranted on and on about that while Andre just looked at me confused.

"How exactly did you think of becoming Cat?" He asked. I opened my mouth to tell him that I thought of it while admiring him. But that would be weird. So I just shrugged.

"So…Jade's trails in a week. Beck's going. Are you?" I asked, I can't help it if I start talking about her.

"Um, I don't think its such a good idea for me to go. I mean, its hard enough as it is having to go to trail but having your friends listening to every detail…its intimidating. And she probably doesn't want us hearing the small details of that night." He explained. I nodded. He's right though. I mean, if I had to do that, I wouldn't want my friends anywhere near that place.

"Ander, how do you always have the right answers?" I asked softly. He shrugged and grinned.

"I don't know. Must be because I'm such a smart person." He bragged.

"Yup, you are smart."

"And handsome, lets not forget that part too." He smirked. I rolled my eyes. But he, once again, is right. He has brains and beauty. I felt my self turn red.

"So…now what?" I asked having finished my very delicious and creamy ice cream. He shrugged.

"No sure, we else do you want to go?" He questioned.

"Any where's fine with me." I flirted. He smiled at me and grabbed my hand. He leaned closer to me and for a moment I though he was going to kiss me. But he just whispered in my ear that I had ice cream on my upper lips. I felt my entire face go red as I quickly whipped it away. He laughed, must he enjoy my embarrassment.

We decided to go back to my house and watch a movie or something. As we walked to the car, out of the corner of me eye, I saw James and his posy. I groaned. I guess Andre must have noticed what I was groaning about because he groaned too.

"Look at him! He's laughing and joking around with his friends! Not even feeling one bit of guilt! God, he's such a cold hearted demon." I told Andre as we looked at him. We must have starred to long because James looked right at us. I glared at him and he smirked. He walked over to us, leaving his friends behind.

"So, where's your little friend, Jade I believe?" He asked mockingly. I felt the anger begin to rise. Andre grabbed my hand and began to pull me away.

"Yeah, teach her to keep her dirty eyes away from me, Andre." He said. Andre stopped pulling me and turned around. He glared at him.

"What did you say?" He asked angrily. I swallowed hard and looked at Andre.

"Teach your stupid girlfriend to keep her eyes off me. I know I'm tempting but I'm taken. My girlfriend, Jessica", he pointed at her who was standing with his friends, "Yeah, she doesn't like it when other girls rape me with their eyes. So Vega, keep your raping eyes to yourself." He said. I couldn't keep quiet.

"Rape? Please, I was not the one who raped you! You raped Jade! You destroyed her! You are just a cold hearted bastard! And I hope your put in jail for the rest of your life! I hope you rot in hell for what you did! You RAPED her!" I yelled. His eyes grew wild.

"Shut up!" He said quietly.

"Why? So your stupid girlfriend doesn't hear what I said! So you can pretend that you did nothing wrong!" I shouted. I felt all eye on me and small whispers from passing costumers. James glared at me.

"I'm not afraid of you, James. And you should tell your girlfriend the truth. Before I tell her for you." I threatened. With that, I grabbed Andre and pulled him into the car. We sat in the car for a while as we watched James wrap his arm around his girlfriend waist and puller her away.

"Tori…" Was all Andre could say. I know, it was unlike me to just yell. But he…god! He gets me so mad!

"Tori, that was…" I cut him off.

"I know! It was stupid of me to have yelled at him and to have told him off! It's just he…he pissed me off!" I exclaimed. Andre shook his head.

"No, that was amazing." He said. I turned my head to him, he was starring at me. I smiled as he drove me home. We decided it was best if we just saw each other at school on Monday, I can wait until tomorrow.

He pulled into my drive way.

"Thanks, Andre. For today." I said looking into his eyes. He smiled.

"Yeah…it would have been better if stupid James didn't show up." He complained, glaring at the air as he said James name.

"But…I think that's what I needed. I needed to see James's face. I needed to tell him off, to get rid of the anger." I said softly. Come to think of it, I do feel better. Like a giant weight has been lifted up. I needed to take me anger out on him. Andre was right, I did explode. But it was good.

I focused back on Andre who was smiling at me. This is what I need…

I leaned towards him and hugged him. I wanted so badly to press my lips against his but no. Not now. I said good bye and walked to my house. I opened the door to see nothing has changed. My parents where off at work. Trina was over at her "friend's" house. And Jade…well I'm guessing she's upstairs. I walked to her room, to check up on her. When I saw her she was sleeping in her bed. I smiled. I felt thankful that she called Andre. It was what I needed.

OK so I didn't intend for it to be all about Tori…it just sort of came out. But I thought that since she's been so involved with Jade that she deserved to have her own chapter. I'm sorry if it wasn't good...it most likely wasn't good but i tried :/

And I will try really really really hard to update! But until then, I would be very VERY happy if you reviewed. And thanks to all who do review and like this story. It makes me really happy (: thanks!

Love
