A/N: So here is where the angst comes... prepare yourselves.- S.K.
Jade
I am gonna kill Tori when I get home. The recital is over and Cadence is in tears. She was supposed to be here. I called Mrs. Vega. "Hey, Jade How is the recital?"
"It's over, and Tori isn't here." I stated with a growl.
There was silence on the other end. It was uncertain, as if she wasn't sure of what she had heard. "She left over an hour ago." Holly said with a tremor in her voice, "Laila and Carolina have been here for three hours."
Now I was worried. This was not like my wife. Tori should have ben at the camp. I fought to keep the panic from my voice. "She's not here… Holly you haven't talked to her?"
"No," She answered. I could hear the concern in my mother-in-law's voice. Tori had never been the safest driver. She was a bit distracted and reckless. The total opposite of me as everything else in our lives.
"Can I call you back?" I asked and hung up without waiting for an answer. I dialed Tori's number, I got her voice mail. "Tor, where are you the recital is over."
I sighed and hung up. "Mom, did she answer?" Cadence asked.
I shook my head and and dialed again. Voice mail again. So I didn't leave one. Now I am awfully ticked. "Cadence lets go get your sisters." I grumbled It was gonna be tight because Tori had the bigger car that could carry all three of the kids, and both of us comfortably.
I drove off and there was a major accident in the opposite lane as we got out of dance camp. How annoying is that. We were stuck in traffic for more that twenty minutes, and Tori was not answering her phone. I called Andre and he answered the phone groggily. "Yo…"
"WERE is your girlfriend?" I screamed into the receiver. Because I am still upset that THIS is STILL the public persona MY wife has.
"Why would she be here?" he asked with a yawn.
"I don't know, I can't find her anywhere," I said with a huff. I took a deep breath and sighed. "If she shows up there tell her that she is sleeping on the couch tonight."
Andre laughed, "Sure chizz, " he said and hung up his phone.
HE, hung up on me! That man, still wants my wife. She had confessed to me when we were first married that he'd had a thing for both of us at one point. Then I started watching him. Watching how he always seemed to look at Tori. He never tried anything though. But he LOOKED and it bothered me.
It doesn't help that the lable have their fans buying into the idea that those two are much closer than what they appear. Tori and Andre have always been close. They are best friends, They hug and hang out an awful lott, and they work together too. There are pictures all over the world That remind me of this. And it isn't that I'm a hidden piece of the puzzle. There are pictures everywhere with her and I out on dates holding hands. She and I are always together. The world believes I am her best friend. And I am her best friend, even better than Andre, even if she doesn't see it.
All of this, just put a strain in Andre and my friendship. It has been this tense since Tori and I started having more children but it is really getting out of hand how cold he is to me sometimes. It is almost like how I used to be in high school.
I was out of options so I just went to get my daughters and headed home to wait for my wife. It wasn't until midnight that I heard anything. It was HIM. "Is she settled in your couch?" I growled into the phone.
"Jade…" He stated, pain evident in his voice. My heart began to beat faster, waiting for the next four words. "Tori's in the hospital." I sat up in bed and I flashed to the accident on the other side of the road near the dance camp. 'There was an accident."
"Why didn't they call me? It's been hours!" I stated beginning to pace the room. "She's famous, why is it not all over the news?"
"Jade, She doesn't remember who she or you or anyone is… but for some reason she remembers me and the Label wants me to be whoever she wants me to be."
My heart dropped to my stomach. He means whoever they want him to be. "I want to see my wife!" I said menacingly.
"Jade—" he started.
"Andre!" I interrupted, "I have to see her, she has to come home."
"Come in the morning but don't bring the girls, they think that too much information could be too much for her."
I swallowed the sob that threatened to come up. "I'll be there bright and early."
