Sorry if Jade seems a little OOC for this chapter…since nothing really bad ever happens on the show, there's no way to know how she would really react if something bad like this happens. So this is how I think she'd react.

Jade's POV

"Gahh, I'm so bored." I grumbled and threw my phone next to me.

Beck sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Jade, we live in LA and it's Friday night. Plus, you're with me." He reached over and tucked a few strands of hair behind my ear. "How could you be bored with me?"

"Oh, come on." I said and glared at him. "I love you, Beck, I really do, but people annoy me."

"Aww, even me?" he asked jokingly.

"Yes, even you,"

"Ouch," he said, but then pulled me in his lap. He ran his hands over my cheeks and pushed my hair out of my face. He gave me a long, full kiss. When we finally pulled apart, he said, "Do I still annoy you?"

I rolled my eyes at this boy. "Just shut up and kiss me again."

Twenty minutes later, we were in my car and I was driving us around. We had a small little make out session while in his RV, but after awhile, we decided we wanted to get out and drive and see what we could get ourselves into.

"So where do you wanna go?" I asked.

"Well, we are in LA, so I'm sure there are a bunch of parties going on right now."

"We are not going to any kind of parties." I told him sharply. "With it being Friday night, over half of the parties most likely include drinking and smoking and I'm not getting myself stuck in that situation. It could ruin both of our chances to get a good break in Hollywood."

"Good point," he said. "But, come on, babe, you know me…I wouldn't wanna get in that situation either. I just meant a fun party without any of that stuff."

After a moment of silence and of driving around, I thought of a place to go to. Without telling Beck where we were going, I drove to our destination.

When we drove up to it, Beck looked at it in shock. "Jade, what in the heck are we doing here?" It was the search center people went to if they wanted to search for Tori. It was November 30 and had been six months since she went missing. No one had a clue as to what happened to her.

"Got any better ideas?" I asked with a shrug and jumped out of the car. Beck followed suit and jumped out as well.

Walking around the search center made me depressed. "Remember when she first went missing?" I started off. It was just easier to not say her name out loud anymore. "This place was crawling with people. Now look at it. All it is now is a deserted area with random tables, chairs, and a bunch of trash. It makes me so mad to know that people have given up hope."

Beck nodded. "I know, me too."

"It's just…if I could find the person that took her away from her family, I would strangle them." I said angrily. "And if it's some nasty old man that is raping her…" Beck flinched. Since Tori was one of Beck's closest friends that was a girl, he didn't like the thought of some old man hurting her like that. "I swear, I will kill him."

"Jade, we don't even know what happened to her." he said. "She…she might have just ran away."

"Beck, be realistic," I said. "She wouldn't run away. Besides, the majority of the time that teenage girls run away is to be with their boyfriend and we know that's not the case here." I sighed heavily. "Her boyfriend doesn't even know what happened to her."

He slowly shook his head. "I just don't get it. I mean, her dad's a cop. Don't you think that if a man really came in to kidnap her, she would have used that as a threat? The words 'My dad is a cop' could be really threatening."

"Yeah, well, I'm sure if that were the case, he would have some threatening words of his own." I said. "Words that would most likely scare her half to death,"

"I know, but–" We were cut off by a crumpled piece of paper that blew up to us. It landed in between us.

I reached down and picked up the piece of paper. I unfolded it and saw that it was one of the hundreds of missing flyers of Tori with a headshot picture of Tori smiling in the direct center. It was a recent one since the reward money on it was now up to one hundred thousand dollars. The last I knew of, it was only at eighty thousand.

I sighed heavily. "I hate these missing flyers."

Beck closed the space between us and wrapped his arm around my waist. I rested my head on his shoulder while still looking at the flyer. "Me too," he whispered.

I dropped the paper as my eyes filled up with tears. "I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but…I miss Tori. I wish I could see her."

"But I thought she wasn't your friend." said Beck jokingly.

"Beck, I'm serious." I said shakily. "Sure, maybe I outright said many times that she wasn't my friend, but it was all a lie. To be honest, she was one of the best friends I've ever had. She helped me out with so many things and I never thanked her for any of those times."

Beck sighed. "I know, it's okay." He pulled me in a tight hug.

I wrapped my arms around him and cried.

…

Two days later, on Sunday, my mom made me go to the store. I really hated coming to the store. I hated all the people and all the traffic on the way to the store. Mostly, I just hated people. Everyone was so annoying. The only reason I was at the store was to get a few things for my mom. She knows how much I hate going to the store and that's probably the very reason she asked me to go to the store for her.

The first thing I did was go down the cereal aisle. Cereal was the first thing on the list, but the problem was that she just wrote down cereal. I had no idea what kind she liked. Now do you know why I hated people?

As I stood there and tried to figure out what kind she liked, a girl walked up next to me. I glanced at her and scrunched up my nose. By the looks of her, it seemed like she should have been looking at the steaks and not the cereal. She was way too thin. I was also confused by her clothes. She was wearing old tennis shoes, jeans, a black hoodie, and a black wig; she was also wearing sunglasses. I rolled my eyes and turned away. "You know were inside, right?" I said sharply. "There's no need for sunglasses inside."

She quickly looked at me and gasped. I turned and looked at her. She was staring at me and I couldn't figure out why. "Do you have a staring problem? Stop looking at me."

She visibly gulped and looked away.

"Ally!" We both looked off to the right and saw a creepy looking guy standing there. "Come on, we gotta go." he called out.

The girl nodded. "Coming," she said.

I had a box of cereal in my hand, but when I heard her voice, my eyes widened and I dropped the box. Her voice…oh, my gosh, where have I heard that voice before? In that split second, it was driving me crazy! I knew I'd heard that voice somewhere before, but…where?

The girl walked around me and headed to that guy. I vaguely heard that guy ask her, "What did you say to her?"

The girl shook her head. "Nothing," I heard her say.

In that instance, I recognized the voice. With my hands shaking, I grabbed my phone from my back pocket and immediately called the police. They were still in the middle of their greeting when I said, "Hi, this is Jade West and I'm calling to say that I've found Tori Vega."

…..

Without the police seeing me, I looked down the aisle they were on. They were talking to Tori, but it didn't seem like she was admitting to who she was. She was telling them lies about who she really was.

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and called Beck. "Hey babe," he said when he answered. "What are you doing?"

I hesitated for a moment as I continued to look at Tori. I was looking at her backside, but I could still tell it was her. I couldn't believe she was standing right there. I walked towards another aisle while saying, "I'm at the store right now."

"Uh…okay and?" said Beck confused.

"Someone…someone is here."

"Well…yeah," he said as if it was obvious. "People go to the store, Jade."

"It's not just anyone, Beck, it's Tori." I said quietly. "She's here in the store."

"What?" he practically screamed. "Are you kidding me?"

"Yes, Beck, I'm kidding." I told him sarcastically. "I called you just to play a horrible prank on you."

"Not funny, Jade," he said. "So you're sure it's really her?"

"Yes, I'm positive." I said. "I didn't know it at first, but when I heard her voice, I was sure that it was her."

"Wait, you talked to her?"

"Well, not exactly…" I explained to him about my little encounter with her. He listened carefully the whole time without interrupting.

Once I finished explaining, Beck said, "So what's she doing right now?"

I walked back to the aisle and looked down it. "She's talking to a cop right now." I looked at the man ten feet away from her and gritted my teeth. "The man that took her is being questioned right now."

"You're sure he took her?" he asked me.

I walked away from the aisle. "Either that or she ran away with him, but I'm pretty sure he kidnapped her."

"Gosh, I hate that man! I'm gonna kill him." said Beck angrily. "I will come down to the store right now and rip him to shreds."

"That's very sweet of you, Beck, but that won't be necessary." I told him. "He's still being questioned right now and I'm sure he'll get what he deserves. It's obvious he'll go to prison for the rest of his life. And don't come down here. I'm about to leave anyway. The questioning has already lasted twenty minutes and my mom is probably getting agitated. She sent me to the store to buy some stuff."

"Okay," he said. "Well, just call me later if you know anything else."

"Alright," I said. "Bye, I love you."

"I love you, too." he said. "Bye,"

We both hung up.

I took one last look at Tori and then left the store. All I could think while driving home was, "Oh, my gosh…I just saw Tori Vega" and also "Andre is going to be so happy!"

Who's happy? :)
