Chapter 10: Photoshop

Ever since Tori got accepted into Hollywood Arts, things were wonderful. The class she taught, her classes she has while being a student, and the people there adored her.

However, not everything is gonna be an amazing sight. Some of the people are actually quite cruel. Surprisingly to say, even more cruel than Jade.

How so? Well, this one student had been following the two around school. Snapping pictures just like Tori. Usually just of Tori and Jade kissing or their loving moments really.

This is definitely creepy, yes. What's even worse is that this particular student started to photoshop the photos. It showed Tori kissing another girl. Tori hugging the same girl, and even holding hands with this girl.

Another student who pretended to be the girl was in on it too. She helped the person create photos in the same spots so that the photoshopping would be a bit easier.

It was now lunchtime during a school day. The gang sat down at their usual table. Tori at this moment? She was feeding Jade some fruits that she brought from home. "Ah, open.." Jade put her top lip underneath her bottom to keep it shut.

"Please?" Jade then opened her mouth to eat the strawberry. As she started to chew though, her phone dinged. "Who is that?" Tori asked. Jade turned on her phone to see that it was a message from an unknown number. "I don't know, the name or number doesn't show. Let me check."

It was a message filled with those photoshopped photos.

What Jade saw, made her jaw wide open. To the point to where she choked on the strawberry a bit. "Baby? What's wrong?! Hey, calm down." Tori said, patting her lover's back.

Jade finally got back to normal and shook her head, moving away from Tori. "I should've known.. I should've known that you'd emotionally hurt me! You think this would hurt less than physically abusing me?!" She started to tear up, and it's rare to see Jade cry.

Tori got so confused, and worried of course. "What are you talking about, babe?" Just a minute ago, they were being all cute as a loving couple. "What am I talking about?" She chuckled out of being so upset. "Oh don't play stupid, Vega!"

Vega? She hasn't heard that since before she got accepted into Hollywood Arts. "Vega? Okay, what did I do? Seriously, what?!" Jade let out a few more tears before bringing her phone right in front of the teen. "Must be fun having another chick on the side, huh? What, y-you feed her strawberries too?!" Her voice grew, but it broke due to how hurt she was.

Tori looked at the photos in so much confusion and shock, who would do this? "Jade, I don't even know who this girl is! I don't have anybody else, I promise! These photos are fake!"

Jade wiped away her tears, but that didn't do any justice. Her makeup was also a big giant mess. Everything was a mess. "I-I don't even know if I can trust you anymore!"

"But Ja-" Jade interrupted her immediately. "Don't but Jade me.. we're done!" Tori felt her heart sink in an instant. "Did I hear you correctly? Please, listen to me.. those photos are fake!"

"I said we're done okay?! Don't even think about speaking to me, or be anywhere near me again! I don't want to look at you! I don't want you in my life anymore, you two timing asshole!" Before Tori could say anything, Jade ran off in tears. She went inside her car and drove off.

Tori sat back down, her world just fell apart. "Did you really cheat on her?" Robbie asked, just to be sure. The Latina shook her head slowly. "N-No.." Her voice broke. "Why would I cheat on someone who I truly loved? And I lost her for not doing anything to her!"

"Someone made those photos of me with another girl. I promise, that I wouldn't do something so low.." Tori looked down. "And cause of that, the love of my life doesn't want me in her life anymore. That's just great."

Tori grabbed her bag and stood up. "Tori.." Cat looked very worried for the brunette. "Leave me alone." She walked away. Getting a bus ride back home. Once she arrived, she fell on top of her bed inside of her room.

It was then when she finally bursted, crying her heart out. Looking on her nightstand, it was a framed picture of Jade. It was her headshot that she printed. The one that she said she'll keep? With Jade laughing in the photo?

That only made Tori cry even harder. She lost her, and she didn't even do anything bad to cause this to happen. Whoever did this definitely has no heart. Breaking relationships like that.

The person actually saw the whole fight happen, she smirked at everything. This is exactly what she wanted. But why would she do this? Does she do this for a passion, or did she have an actual reason as to why she'd do this?

With Jade back home, she ripped all of Tori's pictures that she had. Even pictures of them together. She was that mad and upset. When she fell on top of her bed, she sobbed with her tears. Her eyes, all red and puffy.

"She loved me.. yeah right.. I-I'm not good enough for her, she has another girl anyway. So, why is she so upset for?!" Jade talked to herself. She threw a pillow onto the wall quite hard. It made a loud sound before it fell onto the floor.

Tori didn't know what else to do. She felt so lost. After crying for so long, she took out her phone. When she checked her Instagram, she saw that Jade had blocked her. Not on just that, but everything. Even TheSlap. Seeing her relationship status from 'Taken' to 'Not in a Relationship.'

Tori went back onto her Instagram to post something. It wasn't a picture she took or anything, but a black screen. Her caption stated the following.

I can't believe that this happened to me. Why me out of all people? Someone photoshopped photos of me with another girl. Cause of that, I just lost the most important girl in my life. I guess.. I guess I'm single now. Whoever you are, you are cruel with no heart. I'm way too broken. I feel weak, and I can't stop crying. I loved her. I still do. She wants me out of her life forever, so thanks a lot to whoever you are who did it.

The comments started to come in. They felt so bad for her, wishing that they could do something. They would do anything to find the person who did this, but it would be quite difficult.

Tori is broken, and so is Jade. All cause of photoshop. Photoshop is a very useful tool sometimes. But, it could also be used for evil. Making and editing photos to ruin people's lives.
