So here was the plan: Tori was going to answer the door. That was it. She already said that she never met my dad, all she had to do was change the sound of her voice a little bit and then… BAM! She would be… Vori Tega! Or something like that. I guess the name doesn't really matter right now; she can come up with that when the time comes. She was smart enough to figure something out.

"All you have to do is stay under here. Just like you are now." Jade told me. I was still underneath the bed, hiding from my not so father.

"That's it? that's your brilliant plan?" I asked her kind of skeptical.

"Yeah, what's wrong with it?" she replied with an attitude

I thought about. There were so many things wrong with this idea that I didn't even know where to start. I guess I could start with the fact that it's pretty obvious that this is Jade's apartment. Who else has so much black in one housing area? Again, no one! There were so many other things that could possibly go wrong. And for one, Tori already told him where I was, so he must obviously know that we would be lying.

"Well for one thing, he knows who you are… so what are you going to do?"

"Well, I guess I'll have to crawl up under there with you."

And so she did. She ducked down into the small space underneath the queen sized bed with me.

"Hello," I heard Tori say in some fake Russian accent that she was terrible at. "How are you?"

"Fine..." That was my dad, I was positive that it was "Is there a Cat here?"

"Well, there was last week." Tori replied somewhat glumly.

God, Tori! You are terrible at this secretive stuff.

"Well? Where did she go?"

"She died…"

Great! Thanks Tori. Really, thanks a lot; I really appreciate it. Now she's killing me off? What a great friend she is! I just love dying for no reason at all. Who kills off their friend like that? No one!

My dad continued talking. The sound of his voice pierced me like nails. That reminded me of the broken bottle that had impaled my abdomen just a couple of days ago.

"My God! How?"

"Yep, my poor little cat got ran over by a car…"

There was a little bit of a silence. I couldn't tell what was going on, but I did understand that Tori wasn't killing me off. She's saying that she has a pet cat. Or well, she had a pet cat. Now I get it. Whew, I thought Tori didn't like me anymore and she wanted me dead. Thank heavens she didn't.

"You're lying to me girl."

My heart beat went a little bit faster. Dang Tori can't act; and she's somehow a better actress then me and Jade? How could that possibly be? She is a terrible actress. Absolutely terrible. I have to stop talking (or thinking) about her this way. She was my friend, no matter how badly she screwed up.

"Um… Um… I'm not… lying." Tori stuttered with every word.

"Hey!" it was Tori…

I heard a thump. What was going on? Jade reached over and put a hand on my shoulder. She knew I wanted to go out there. I wanted to see what was going on, but she would not let me go. Nope. I finally had to wriggle my way out of her strong grip. How did that chic get so strong?

"Jade," I whispered "We have to go see what's going on."

"No, Tori said 'No matter what, don't come out here.'"

"Well I don't care what Tori said, now do I?"

I crawled out from underneath the bed and walked over to the door. I paused for a second to look at the aurora that was painted on the walls. You know, really take in my surroundings before I turn myself over to the bad guy. It might be the last time I'll ever see this room again. There I go again, being all dramatic like always. I won't dye, I really doubt it. I can't dye, it's impossible. I way too young to dye.

"Cat…"

I turned around and Jade was right behind me. She had this pleading look in her eyes. I didn't want to see her like this; it was so weird to see Jade have feelings towards someone (or something) besides Beck.

There was the sound of someone walking towards the room we were in. I didn't know if it was Tori or my dad. Most likely it would be my dad. I would be surprised if it wasn't. maybe this time I wold be lucky and he wouldn't be drunk. But in my world, there is no such luck…

"Oh Kitty Cat…"
