It's been a couple days (2 to be exact) since Jade saved me from my former house she keeps saying that I need to see a therapist for all of this, but I don't want to. It's just one of those things that make no sense to me. I mean, like, I know what's wrong with my, my dad hurt me. There's nothing psychological about it, I just have some screwed up life. That's all. I don't need some person that I don't even know to tell me that because I already know it. You know what I mean? Besides, shrinks are stupid. They remind me of stalkers. They should all just keep their nose in their own business and stay out of mine. Plus, they always try to hypnotize you, and if you've ever seen Donnie Darko, you know that that's a bad thing.

So now here I was in "my room" at Jade's apartment. Her oh so very, very dark apartment. And on top of all of that it was raining outside. Jade was in the living room watching something on MTV. The whole thing just fit my mood perfectly. I've been in somewhat of a funk lately, if you couldn't tell already.

"Hey, Cat, are you ok?" Jade asked me walking into the room without knocking.

"No, I'm just sitting in this dark depressing room with the lights off and hiding under the covers cause I'm just so happy and peppy right now."

Oh, ouch. I don't like this side of me. It was so nasty and just downright mean. I'm not good at being mean to people. I'm not like Jade. Oh, God! There it id again.

"Sorry… I didn't mean it." I said coming out from underneath the covers.

Jade walked out of the room and I reluctantly followed her into the living room. The door bell rang just as we sat down on the couch. As if I wasn't annoyed enough, now me and Jade had to deal with someone. Oh, Cat! Stop thinking that way! You love people! I love people.

"God, who could that possibly be!" Jade grunted

She opened the door and just guess who was there. Tori. I was somewhat disappointed when I saw her face in the doorway of Jade's apartment. I don't know who I was expecting exactly.

"Hey—"

As soon as Jade had opened the door, she slammed it. Smack! Right on Tori's face. I couldn't help but let out a little giggle. Jade definitely looked satisfied at her door slamming abilities.

"Jade!" I heard Tori yell from the opposite side of the door.

Tori banged on the door with force that I didn't know she had possessed. With every pound, I cringed. Scenes of Friday flashed through my poor, rattled brain. I don't like the noise of thumping against wood anymore. The "thump, thump, thump" is just so ghostly to me now. Images of splintering wood flew right through my head. In and out. Everything from Friday went in and out. I really just wanted Tori to stopping hitting the door like that. What did I have to do to make her stop?

Jade finally unwillingly walked to the door again and opened it to find a very, very unhappy Tori. She did not look happy. Not one little bit. I guess she didn't appreciate the door to her face. To be quite honest, I don't think I would either. It doesn't help very much that Jade and Tori didn't really enjoy each other's company. Yeah, no. That didn't help at all. If anything, it must've made it even worse.

"I want to talk to Cat!"

"Well maybe, just maybe, she doesn't wanna talk to you. Ever think of that?"

Tori looked somewhat offended at this. I don't blame her; I would be too. That is, if it were me being yelled at by Jade. But it wasn't. It was Tori. Not me.

"Maybe she does!"

I got up off the couch and walked over to where Jade and Tori were. Right by the open door. For a second, just one little second, I thought about making a dash for it. But that thought was quickly overruled by the completely blocked door way. Dang it. I guess now I'll just have to deal with my two bickering friends. What a joy. And yes, they were still arguing back and forth and back and forth. I swear, Jade was on the verge of slapping Tori right across the face. and Tori wanted to runaway, just like me. But she stood her ground. Did a good job of it, too. Heads were staring to poke out of the other apartments.

"Stop fighting!" I finally yelled at the both of them.

I grabbed both of them by the wrist and pulled them into Jade's apartment. They were starting to becoming quite a spectacle for the heads sticking out of the other rooms. I slammed the door when Tori and Jade were completely inside of the apartment.

"What could you possibly want with Cat?" Jade hissed in Tori's direction.

Jade was right, I really didn't want to talk to Tori. Sure she's kind and all. And sure, she's my friend, but everything in her life is just so perfect. She the nicest family, they almost never got mad at her. Her and Trina did stuff together, sometimes. She didn't even have to audition to get into Hollywood Arts, like the rest of us. Everything I could do, she could do a million times better. Boys practically threw themselves at her and she didn't even notice it.

Wow… Why is this all coming out now? It's so unlike me to be this angry toward someone. Well, I guess everything has really been ordinary lately…

(AN I feel like I have to explain. You see, I believe that Cat has a lot of pent up anger toward Tori. In this chapter I really wanted that to show. Plus I just really don't like Tori all that much. Just one teenager's opinion)
