A/N: To my two very wonderful flamers, bravo. You just wasted a few minutes of your life writing something that I read maybe two words of and then deleted. But hats off to you for those extremely creative insults. They had to have taken a while to think up. Here's a tip: If something's not even gramatically correct, I'm going to assume that the person writing it is illiterate and if I'm being honest, an insult from them isn't really an insult at all.


Tori Vega had always thought of herself as a caring person. One who would go out of her way to help others, especially friends, whenever they needed her.

So why hadn't she done something?

At first, she told herself it was the shock of the moment, because watching Jade do that to herself was certainly not what she had been expecting when she opened the door. But the more she thought about it, the more she realized she didn't want to know. She didn't argue because if Jade was anything less than the rock solid figure she'd always known... It gave Tori a headache just thinking about it. So she didn't.

At school the next day, Jade barely threw a glance in her direction. Not that that was out of the ordinary. Tori wasn't expecting her to want to talk about what happened, nor was she expecting her to act like nothing had changed. So when Jade continued to spin her scissors on her finger and point them threateningly at Sinjin, Tori couldn't help but cringe. Jade had even caught sight of her twitching.

"Take a picture, Vega. It might last longer."

It was a middle-school insult at best, and they both knew it, but Tori could see Jade's leg slightly shaking as the words came out. Was Jade really scared of her secret coming out? Did she really think Tori would just blurt it out in the middle of class?

Would she?


AN: Yeah, it's really short. I know. Don't kill me. I haven't had a lot of time to write but I will get these chapters in as often as I can. They might be short, but it's better than waiting a week, right? Anyway, thanks to all of you who reviewed, and special thanks to those who put it on their favorites or alerts. It means a lot c:
