Tori's POV

"Jade please wake up!" I was sobbing so hard. What if she had actually died? No, that can't be, she's still breathing...or at least that is what it seems like. I think I did a good job cleaning and bandaging Jade's cuts up. Man, I'm just glad I got here in time. We would have to talk about this later, when she woke up... if she ever woke up. 'Gulp' Gosh Tori, you seriously have to stop thinking so negatively. It's actually funny that me thinking so negatively and being paranoid all the time as opposed to the calm, positive Tori that I show myself to be. Oh the irony, wait is that even irony? I was so deep in thought I didn't notice she was finally starting to wake up... or was she having convulsions? I was paralyzed. Judging by the violent moves she made she probably is having convulsions, is she dying? Oh my god what do I do?

Jade's POV

I somehow managed to slowly flicker my eyes open. "Jade!"

"V-Vega" I barely managed to get out in a voice so weak and silent, I doubt she even heard me, I quivered.

"Oh my god, I started fearing for the worst" Vega huffed.

"Well, bad luck Vega, I'm still alive" I groaned.

"Jade, STOP!" Vega yelled at me. I flinched at her sudden burst of anger. "I'm sorry, but I mean we can overcome this...together, there was no need to try and commit...suicide." I looked up a Vega, my puzzled face spoke for me. "Jade, don't look at me with a perplexed face, you well damn know what you were doing, you were on the verge of having a heart attack when I walked in and you where slicing your arm open."

"Oh..." is all that I could think of, my mind went blank, for once I had no sarcastic or offensive remark I could spit back at Vega.

"Oh is all you'll say?" Vega looked so frustrated and disappointed.

"Tori, I-" Vega didn't even let me explain myself; she cut me off as soon as those words left my mouth.

"No, Jade... I always thought you were a tough girl who would never give up, I always admired you for that, but I apparently looked up at the wrong person" OK, that did hurt a little.

"Well, if you let me explain" I argued back.

"I am hearing" OK, now Vega will know one of my biggest secrets, great.

"First of all, I was not trying to commit suicide. Second, I didn't even remember you were here, that's why I freaked out. I passed out, yes, but we both damn know why, we were both ripped apart yesterday, haven't eaten since then, and I barely got to even close my eyes the whole night all thanks to those damn guys that caused all of this. You know why I try to rip myself apart all the time Vega?" I glanced at Vega; she just shook her head, but kept quiet "For the first seven years of my life my family and I lived over in Florida. We loved each other like hell, but we both damn well know happiness can't last forever. My dad was fired from his work, the company he was working for closed. We went bankrupt and had to come live with my dad's mom over here in Los Angeles. My mom had an affair with my dad's brother. My uncle used to come over when my dad left early for work. They both went to my parent's room, they locked the door, and we both know what happened inside that room. I was left alone all day; my dad came home from work until late. I was threatened by my uncle that if a word ever escaped my lips whenever my dad was around, he would personally make sure I didn't even make it through elementary." I paused for a moment, the worst part was coming.

"Jade, I had no idea-" I cut Vega off.

"Exactly you had no idea, know I'll continue." Vega looked surprised, but said nothing. "One day my dad, mom and I went to the park, I was chasing a butterfly. I was not paying attention; my mom shoved me out of the way. She was dead within impact. The driver escaped, I ran away all day. I went back home really late just to find my drunken dad waiting for me. He blamed it all on me, and I knew he was right, it was my entire fault. He left that day and didn't return but a week after. I was relieved of seeing him back home. I ran towards him expecting him to hug me back, but he didn't. Instead he pushed me away and struck my cheek sending me right to the floor. He beat me up several other times claiming it all being my fault. I was getting used to the constant beating every day. One night, however, my dad wasn't the one that came through the door, it was my uncle. He raped me and again threatened to kill me if a word ever escaped my lips. I was just a rag doll to both my uncle and dad. I had nothing left, but one day I met Beck and I knew we were both made for each other. Just as I thought my life was finally beginning to change course, my dad found out about mom and Uncle Brent. He came home early that day just to find my uncle and me on the living room's couch. He chased my uncle out and instead of comforting me he beat the hell out of me and called both my mom and I sluts. I found relief in a knife since that day when I came to realize there was no one left, I could trust no one, and I was alone. Changing my personality and look helped keep everyone as far away as I wanted. My dad married again and found a new job. He has always thought being a lawyer or doctor is the only way you become someone in this world. He hates creative people, I somehow managed to convince him to let me go to Hollywood Arts...I guess you know the rest." Turning back to face Vega I found her teary eyed staring back at me.

"Jade, I..." She was speechless, so she just hugged me, "Just know I'm here for you whenever you need someone."

I didn't know what else to say so I just stayed silent.

"Well at least something good came out of this." I attempted to cheer things up by giving a small smile.

"And that is?" I could come up with about...ZERO reasons as to this being good.

"Well, we became friends!" Vega attempted on a cheery voice.

"Yeah, I guess" I replied with a slight smile threatening to form.

"Really?" Vega hopefully asked.

"Yes really, but if anyone asks I will, no doubt, deny it." I argued back.

"I can live with that." A smiling, happy looking, Tori replied.

Beck's POV:

"OK Cat, I'm just glad to hear you're okay." I knew Jade was just freaking out about anything, she's always like that. "Yeah OK thanks I'll tell her, take care, bye Cat."

"So, she okay?" Andre questioned by my side.

"Yeah, she's perfectly fine. She just caught a cold of some sort, that's why she couldn't make it to the party."

"OK, poor little red she takes every sickness the hard way."

"Yeah, but at least she is safe."

"Hum, I guess so." Andre sighted

"Hey do you know where Jade is?" One second she was by my side, the next she´s gone.

"Um, I think I actually saw her going out the door a couple minutes ago, but Tori went after her so they should be okay."

"Are you sure? I better go make sure myself they´re alright." I knew Jade could take care of herself, but I felt the need to make sure for myself she was okay.

"No Beck, you should give them space. Finally they might be able to understand each other and become friends. Besides you don´t want to interrupt a girl talk, I´m serious man." Well, that was true maybe, just maybe Tori could comfort and help Jade in a way she might even get Jade to become friends with her.

"Yeah, you´re right I´ll just text her and let her know Cat is fine. Bye Andre, see you tomorrow." With that I left Andre and made my way over to the front door. Knowing Tori I decided to leave, they would both probably end up having a sleep over at Tori´s. I would call Jade tomorrow in the morning.

Sorry for not updating lately. I am going to finish this story here, but would you like me to make a sequel? What other story ideas do you have that I could write about?
