Tori's P.O.V

It had been a couple of hours since I had spoken to my mom about everything, I felt a little bit better but to be honest the only person who could make things better was Jade. What I did was stupid and I know that Jade is never going to forgive me for it. We were never really friends to begin with, well she didn't consider me as one but now I had given her an even bigger reason to hate me.

I had completed most of the homework I had, god only knows how I managed to finish it all with Jade still on my mind.

It had only just turned 10 o'clock but I decided the best thing I could do now was to try and get some sleep. I highly doubted that it was even possible for me to get to sleep when thinking about Jade but what else could I do?

I took my glasses off and placed them on my bed side table before turning the lights off and crawling into bed. Feeling my head hit the pillow made me realize how tired I actually was. I guess getting rejected by the person you love tends to do that to you, who knew? Definitely me now.

After tossing and turning a while I managed to drift off into a light sleep, just as I'd thought Jade was still on my mind.

The Next Day

I walked through the doors of Hollywood Arts, a coffee cup in my hand as usual and my pear phone in the other. I scrolled through the messages to see if there were any new ones. Well to be more specific, a new message from Tori. It disappointed me when I saw there wasn't any.

Seriously why wouldn't that girl just break? I know that it's only been a day, but usually she would have texted me to say sorry again or something. I actually kind of miss her, I know I'm always tormenting her but there's just something about her that draws me to her. I can't help but feel that when we don't talk a part of me is missing.

No. What am I thinking? Of course I don't feel like that. This is all Vega's fault; if she hadn't kissed me then I wouldn't be having these feelings right now.

Maybe I did overreact a bit, but what was I supposed to do? Tori Vega, the girl I'm supposed to hate the most, kissed me. She kissed me! I couldn't admit to her that I shouldn't have acted the way I did; I never admit I'm in the wrong, never.

I looked across the hall as I walked towards my locker and noticed that Tori wasn't there. That's strange, I thought. I looked at my phone to check the time and saw that it was almost 9; usually she would be here by now with her preppy attitude talking away to Andre or Cat. Where is she?

I unlocked my locker and grabbed the books I needed before slamming it shut, being careful to not touch the scissors that covered the whole of my locker.

Sighing I started walking in the direction of Sikowitz's class throwing my coffee cup in the bin, I really wasn't in the mood for it anymore for some reason.

I walked into the room and sat down in my usual seat, Beck was already there but I didn't bother talking to him, it's not that I didn't want to I just really wasn't in the mood anymore.

I looked towards the corner of the room where Tori usually sat with the slight hope she would be there, she wasn't.

I felt someone nudge my arm and turned around to look at Beck.

"She's not in today" he said, obviously noticing where I had been looking.

"Like I care where Vega is" I snapped, it was mean but I couldn't let him think that I actually gave a damn about the girl.

I turned my attention to the front of the room when I saw that Sikowitz had came in, I listened to him drone on about something I didn't really care about.

Today is going to be a long day.

Tori's P.O.V

I silently cursed as the light shining in through my curtains woke me up, I turned my head and saw that it was just after 10. I was happy I didn't have school today, I couldn't face Jade.

I grabbed my phone and saw a few text messages from Andre, Beck and Cat asking where I was. I even had one from Robbie, but none from the one person I wanted. Jade.

I answered the messages telling them I just didn't really feel like coming in and telling them not to worry I was fine. I turned my phone off after that; I just needed one day away from everyone. That sounds really horrible but I just can't handle people. Not today.

I made my way into the en-suite and washed my face then brushed my teeth, I threw some sweats on and lose tee before putting my glasses on. Today I really didn't care how I looked, no one was going to see my anyway.

I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen pulling certain packets out of the cupboard before making some oatmeal.

Once it was ready I put it in a bowl and grabbed the remote from the table before sitting down on the couch. I kept flicking through the channels not really finding anything interesting to watch, I landed on a channel that was playing CSI all day, and deciding I didn't have any better options left it on.

It didn't take me long until I had finished my breakfast and I placed the bowl down on the table, before grabbing the fleece that was thrown over the back of the seat and wrapping it around myself.

...

Three hours later I was still sat in the same position watching the TV, I couldn't help but think that this is something Jade would be interested in. Sure CSI isn't all gore but she loves crime shows, she just doesn't tell anyone about it. She's only ever told me.

I grabbed the remote turning the TV off deciding that I'd had enough, somehow Jade always managed to take over my thought. I hate the control she has over me, even when she's not trying to.

I walked upstairs into my room sitting down on the edge of my bed and picked up my phone turning it on.

I read the messages and looked at one I didn't expect to have.

Jade: You can't hide forever Tori and you know it
