I meant to update yesterday. but forgot. So, here it is!

Robbie's POV

Cat took one step

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"Cat, we just didn't want to worry you. We thought it was nothing. We–"

Beck was cut off by a loud slap across his face, his tan skin turning a bright red, as red as the hair of the girl that hit him.

"You didn't want to worry me? What, like I'm not already worried? I've been worried out of my damn mind. And what do you mean, it was nothing? Jade and Tori are MISSING!" Her eyes were furious, almost crazy, but there was a twinge of sadness mixed in. "They were counting on you," she said, her voice cracking.

She ran out of the room, sobbing. Beck followed close behind. I tried to keep up, but I'm nowhere near as fast as them. When I turned a corner, I saw them.

They were engrossed in their own little world, and he was doing what I should've done; comforting her, hugging her, whispering soothing words into her ear.

I went slowly back to the waiting room, and the truth finally sunk in. Jade and Tori were missing, possibly dead, and with some creepy dudes who were obsessed with them. And to make matters worse, we didn't know who the hell these guys are, what they wanted, or where they were.

That was thirty minutes ago, but I was still sitting with my jaw open. This 'news' wasn't just news. We were halfway to hell, and our guides neglected to tell us. But, to be honest, it wasn't just the "news." It was Cat's reaction. I'd never seen her so angry or violent. It was like she had woken up from a thousand year slumber and finally found out about all the shit in life.

I'd learned long ago about life. I mean, my mom moved out for god's sake. And, she moved out because of me. Now I just live with my dad, who barely gives me the time of day.

But Cat, she was lucky. While her brother was odd, to say the least, her parents still loved her. Her brother too, messed up as he is. They were just about as crazy as their kids, but they were just one big happy family. A fucked up Brady Bunch.

I guess life just decided to slap her in the face, and she just transferred on the motion. You can't blame her. But you can't really blame Beck and Andre either; they didn't really know what was going on either.

So who's to blame? Life's a bitch, but I'm going with the fucked up weirdoes who kidnapped Jade and Tori.

I stared at the wall in front of me for almost an hour. When I woke up out of my day dreams, Beck and Andre were talking with Tori's dad. Cat was sitting next to me, hugging my arm and resting her head on my shoulder.

"Hey," I whispered, my voice hoarse. "It's gonna be okay Cat."

She looked up at me with big, sad eyes. "How do you know that?" She had certainly calmed down.

"Jade's there. They're probably peeing themselves with fright by now. And even though she won't admit it, she's got Tori's back."

Cat giggled softly. "Yeah, I guess Jade can survive anything. She's invincible! Like a superhero."

"I don't think she really does the whole 'good thing.'"

She giggled again. "Not well. She's tried, with disastrous attempts."

I raised an eyebrow. "Like how?"

"Remember the last time that they broke up, before this one?" I nodded. With that, she launched into the story of how Jade almost killed Beck's dad. We laughed and talked for awhile, before Cat suddenly grew quiet.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that we're sitting here, laughing, and for all we know, they can't even speak right now," she admitted, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You can't think like that Cat. You gotta look on the bright side." She looked like she was about to reply, but Beck and Andre returned before she could say anything.

"What'd Mr. Vega say?" I asked eagerly.

Beck shook his head. "They said that they'd do what they could, but without knowing who these guys are, we don't know much. They're looking at the security feed now, but it doesn't look good."

"Don't they have any leads?" Cat pleaded.

Beck looked reluctant, but he finally gave up one more piece of information. "They found a body in the loading bay. The only good news is that they can trace a license plate, hopefully find them that way.

Cat and I looked at each other, wary. Now we knew these guys were killers. The story just gets better and better, doesn't it?

"They're doing a story on it on the news right now," Andre said as gently as possible, nudging us closer to the TV and turning it on.

After the tail end of a weather report, a blonde haired woman in a black pantsuit appeared.

In local news, two teenage girls, Jadelyn West and Victoria Vega, have been kidnapped from Los Angeles Children's Hospital. Their pictures showed up on the screen. The girls had been admitted for different reasons at different times, but the police have informed us that they were classmates at Hollywood Arts High School. They also stated that the girls had been approached and later harassed the previous night by two teenage boys after a performance. The boys reportedly followed them from local sushi restaurant Nozu, where the two girls rejected the boys. The girls are still missing, and any persons with information regarding their whereabouts should call the hotline at the bottom of the screen.

A number appeared for a minute, before the story changed and a new reporter came into focus. I couldn't help but sigh. The report was too clinical; it was like they weren't people. Not real people. It was like they were some kid's dolls that could be replaced when they were lost. But I guess all people are just that: replaceable.

Read and review!

Did anyone else notice that line (I think it was in Locked Up) where Robbie said his mom moved out but was giving him a second chance? I feel like all the parents in Victorious are neglectful. Anyway, have a nice life!
