Fighting For Jade

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Victorious nor do I have any affiliation with it or any other fan fics!

"Did they really just say that?" asked Cat.

"We've got to move!" shouted Robbie.

Without even bothering to clean up our lunches, we bolted from our table and ran towards the school building. The problem was that since Jade hadn't eaten with us that day, we didn't actually know where she was. We had tried calling and texting her but she wasn't responding to anything on her phone. It could either be because she forgot or lost it, or maybe it was smashed during the beating. But we all knew we had to find her before she got to her parents.

"All right. Tori, Robbie, Cat. You guys spread out around the school and try to find Jade before she gets to the office. Beck and I will go to the office and wait for Jade," said Andre.

"You got it. But what are you going to do if you see Jade's parents?" said Tori.

"We'll just have to use our imaginations," said Andre.

I couldn't help but notice Andre's fist clench when he said that. This wasn't like Andre at all. Just the thought of what Jade's parents were doing to her must have really struck a chord with him. I was actually started to get scared; maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. But it was too late now. Tori, Robbie and Cat had already sprinted off down different hallways and Andre was storming towards the principal's office. I had to half run to catch up to him.

"Andre, slow down!" I shouted.

"No way. I'm not letting them get away with this!"

"I understand that but if you don't go in there with a level head, you're only going to make things worse!"

Andre however kept going and actually picked up his pace. Both of us started running towards the principal's office. It took us about five more minutes to reach the door. Andre and I stopped to catch our breaths and then Andre opened the door and ran inside with me right behind. We could see the faculty working behind the desk at their computers. However, there was no sign of Jade or her parents. Andre walked up to the desk and got the attention of a secretary.

"Excuse me, miss? Has Jade West or her parents been through here?" he asked.

"Yes, Jade was resistant but she was successfully escorted here. She and her parents just left about two minutes ago," replied the secretary.

"Crap! Let's move!" shouted Andre.

The two of us ran out of the office and looked around in the hall. On our right, I noticed that one of the doors leading to the school parking lot was closing. I figured that was the direction in which they were headed. We ran for that door and burst through it. Just in time to see Jade being "escorted" by her parents, with her father keeping a tight grip on Jade's wrist.

"You've had a nice time with your friends here. But did you really think you could get your friend finding out about us to slide by? Now it's time to go home, pack your things, and get out of here," appeared to be the words coming out of her father's mouth.

"Jade!" I shouted.

Jade and her parents turned around to see us. Jade was shocked to see me and Andre but tried to warn us.

"Andre! Beck!" she shouted.

"You better let her go or else! We know what your sick game is and we're not going to let you get away with it!" shouted Andre.

"You told him? I told you not to say anything!" shouted Jade.

"We want to help you! Of course I was going to tell them!" I replied.

"Them? You mean everyone knows now?"

"Yeah! Now let her go or we're calling the cops!"

"You mean you actually care for this dirty pile of rubbish?" taunted Mr. West.

He let go of Jade's wrist and shoved her into her mother. Jade's mother kept a strong hold on Jade who tried to break free but could not. Jade's mother began to drag her towards their car.

"Don't you dare!" I shouted threateningly.

"How can anyone love this wannabe punk whore who is single-handedly responsible for the death of the greatest gift to the world?"

Andre and I were both tensing up as her father laid in these insults to Jade that we simply knew weren't true.

"Whatever. I guess it takes a bitch to love a bitch, right?"

And with that we just snapped. As soon as I heard that last comment, I found myself running over to Jade's dad. Before I could stop myself, I threw a right hook straight into his jaw. Andre had run alongside me and thrust his leg into her father's stomach. Mr. West stumbled back as if he were surprised. However, he quickly looked up back at us.

"Jade is not a bitch!" I shouted at him.

"Don't you dare call her that again! Jade's coming with us!" added Andre.

"You don't actually think it's that easy, do you? Silly, silly boys," said Mr. West.

He stood straight up and suddenly started to run towards us like a freight train. Andre ran towards him and threw another punch but Mr. West quickly dodged it and then thrust his elbow straight into Andre's back. Andre shouted in pain and fell down. I tried to go around him and thrust my leg into his back but he caught my leg and then crushed his elbow into my knee, bending it in a way it shouldn't be bent. I groaned as I crumpled to the ground. I have to admit, Jade's dad may look old but he's one hell of a fighter. Must get the practice from all of those beatings.

"Andre! Beck! Noooo!" Jade shouted.

"Shut up! Get in the car!" shouted Jade's mother.

"Jade!"

Tori, Robbie and Cat had arrived on the scene. They were all shocked to see Andre and me on the ground.

"What have you done?" shouted Robbie.

"I just simply put those brats in their place. Speaking of which..." said Mr. West.

Almost as if on cue, police cars came into the parking lot and multiple police officers with guns came in. I was relieved to see the police. We could set the record straight and get Jade's parents rightfully arrested. Jade would be freed from their wrath and she could live with me and Robbie. She would probably choose to live with Andre but even that was safer than her current situation.

"Those two boys on the ground! They were the ones who tried to assault me! I'm lucky I was able to defend myself before they could seriously harm me!" shouted Mr. West.

Wait...what? This was not right! How could they have called the police when we found them and then fought Mr. West, let alone have the police come so quick? Were we set up?

"No! You've got the wrong guys! He should be arrested! Do you even know how he and his wife treat their daughter! I watched him beat her!" I shouted in protest.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Mr. West argued.

"Why you..."

I got up again and started to charge at him again. I wanted to hurt him as much as I could for what he did to Jade for all of these years and I didn't care how much I got hurt in return. But before I could get to him, the police grabbed me and restrained me. I felt my arms get gripped and pulled behind my back. I could feel the slam of the handcuffs. I looked behind me and Andre was getting cuffed to. Tori ran over, grabbed one of the police officers and tried to force him off of Andre. Robbie tried to do the same for me as Cat tried to get Jade away from her mother.

"Let go of him! Jade's parents are the criminals!" shouted Tori.

"Step away from the boys or else you'll be arrested too!" demanded the police officer.

The police officers pushed Tori, Robbie and Cat away from us and pointed their guns at them as well as us in case any of us tried to pull anything.

"Are you OK, Mr. West?" asked one police officer.

"I'm fine now. Thank you, officer," said Mr. West, feigning innocence.

As soon as the police officer looked away, Mr. West turned to me and gave me the sickest look of arrogance and triumph.

"You may go now. Have a nice day," said the officer.

Mr. West thanked them, gave me and my friends another evil glare, then he got in his car. Jade's mother had forced Jade into the car as well. Jade, had appeared distraught, yet for some reason didn't stand up for either me or Andre when we were getting arrested. It was as if we both disappointed her. The policemen pushed me and Andre into a police car while still keeping Tori, Robbie and Cat from getting close to us. Once the two of us were in the car, the door was slammed and the police men drove off with me and Andre.

Man, I felt really stupid. So many mistakes...Maybe I shouldn't have said anything about Jade's parents abusing her. Maybe I shouldn't have gone to Jade's house in the morning. Maybe I should have tried harder to calm Andre down. Maybe I should have contained myself and not turned it into a physical fight that, as it turns out, I could not have won. Maybe I shouldn't have tried again with the police watching. And maybe I should have done a lot of things differently. But all I know is that right now, Andre and I are off to jail and for all I know, I may never see Jade again.

ohsnapitzJess: Good to hear from you again! (You probably feel the same way about me reviewing your stories) Glad you're loving this one! And if you're interested, feel free to give Survivor a read! Multiple ships are represented and I think it's one of my best (even though I keep screwing with my readers).

Im Right Here 13: Why? Because I'm an ass.

yogabbagabba18: Who doesn't love a good cliffhanger? =)

kikudog6: How about now?

CallieSCissorLuvJogia: Unfortunately, it looks like the evil parents are winning.

666LuvJayC: I never ran you over with a car (I actually reread all of the reviews and my responses to make sure). O_o And you brought up killing you and bringing you to life so now I'm just really confused. It's like I'm talking to Cat. O_O
