First off, I want to say thank you to all the awesome reviewers and to the people who subscribed or added this story to their favorites. Also, sorry for not updating, but I kinda had writer's blocke. Anyway, this is is chapter 2. And it's kinda crappy. Also, there was a minor summary change, to avoid confusion.

Disclaimer: As much as I want to... I don't own anything.


Jade's POV

It was 1 am when everyone finally left. Andre had called his cousin, and offered Beck and Tori a ride home. When everyone was gone, I let out a sigh of relief. It had been an exhausting evening, and not being able to touch Beck, to be with Beck, well... it had been torture. Whenever he made eye contact, my gaze flicked away because I couldn't bear it.

But hanging out with Andre was fun. Growing up we had been best friends, but after his grandma went insane, Andre and I drifted apart. At first, I don't think he wanted people knowing about his grandma. That was back in 5th grade. We didn't really speak to each other until freshman year, when he started hanging out with Beck. We talked a bit more that year, but when Vega showed up, he started chasing her. Then he had no time for me... and his opinion on me had changed completely. Now he called me "gank" and thought I was "scary." And I had lost my oldest friend. But it seemed like times were changing. Maybe things could go back to the way they were; maybe... if things betweenAndre and me could get better, things could get better with Beck too.


Chad's POV
Man, I can't wait to go on a date with Tori again. Last time was so much fun! She even sang a song for me. And her play… WOW! I mean, I've never seen a teenaged girl play a middle-aged man so well. And her bio, well, it proved she was just the girl for me.

Tori Vega is excited to return to the Hollywood Arts stage for the fifth time. Her last appearance was in Steam Boat Suzy, but she was unfortunately unable to complete the performance opening night due to giving three pints of blood earlier in the day. She can't wait for you to see her play the role of Walter in For the Love of Astronauts.

Man, she sounds so sweet and caring. She's perfect for me! And soon, she'll realize how great I am. I looked her up online, and found her address. I'm going to surprise her with a great romantic gesture!


Tori's POV

It was almost 2 when I got home. Fatigued, I unlocked my door and trudged to the stairs, not bothering to turn on the lights. My parents were in Santa Barbra, and Trina had gone to a "friend's" party, where she would probably end up passed out on the couch like usual. I'd pick her up in the morning when somebody called. I yawned, and scratched my arm. For some reason, my body seemed like it was on fire. I tripped a few times while walking up the stairs, but I reached the door to my room unharmed.

I opened it up and reached for the light switch. The bed was covered in flower pedals. Then it clicked in my mind. There was a trail of bush daisies. The trail must have started at the door. My throat started to close up, as I gasped for air. I scrambled over to my bedside table, hoping my EpiPen was there. I jumbled through the first drawer, but nothing. The second and third were the same. Desperate, my eyes wandered around the room, passing over the bookshelves, the window, the bed, but something drew me back to the window. There. A Shadow. Flickering, but still there. Then, I saw the face in the tree, one with large eyes and dirty blonde hair that I would never forget. Chad. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was his face moving out of sight.


Wow. Almost as short as the prologue. I"ll try and update again soon. Blondie was definitely Chad. And grey jacket dude will be called either Steve, Adam, Jason, or Jake.

Building castles.
