Really glad y'all enjoyed the last chapter even though it was short! As promised, here's Tori's POV of things! :{)

Tori's POV

I feel so lost. So confused. These past days have been hell. I went from having a boyfriend to being cheated and abused. Then I decided to act like a slut. Going to bars getting wasted with guys who's names I didn't even bother asking. But every time when I was about to go to bed with one of them, something kept getting in the way, I couldn't go through with it.

I still can't get over the fact that Jade of all people came to see me. She had to leave because of school a short while ago but, I wasn't ready to go back and face everyone yet. Jade was being nice which is a first. She even said that she was worried about me, she let me cry in her arms, and held me while I slept. Why?

I shouldn't read too much into it should I? my first instinct was probably right, she just wants something. But then, why would she say everything she said? Maybe so she could just use it against me and then publicly humiliate me by telling everyone at school why I broke up with Andre and what I did after.

I can't deny my attraction towards Jade all this time, her being a gank and me always going back to her, trying to be friends time after time. She would never want me as more than a friend and she's made it clear that we aren't even that.

Although Jade always did come to me when she needed help. She claimed it was because she didn't want anyone cool to see her in that state, but I chose to believe it was because she trusted me, even though I could probably never get her to admit that.

What really makes me wonder is the fact that when I looked into those emerald green eyes, I think I saw genuine concern and maybe just a hint of love? No I'm probably mistaken about that. Jade would never love me, not even as a friend.

I'm shaken from my thoughts by a knock on my door.

"Tor, can I come in?." Trina's voice came from behind the door.

I sighed "Sure." I wasn't really in the mood to see anyone, except Jade whatever her motives and intentions were.

Trina walked into my room and walked towards me, taking a seat on the edge of my bed.

"Hey baby sis.. how are you?."

"I'm fine Trina, don't worry about it." I said hoping she'd lay off.

"You wanna, like talk about it?." She put her hand on my leg in a comforting manner.

"No I really don't. Please just let it go." I sigh.

"Well um, you seem better. You know, after Jade's visit. Did she help ya out? I noticed she stayed the night. Were you two like, talking?." I rolled my eyes and closed them for a couple of seconds in annoyance, hoping she'd take the hint and wazz off.

"Yes Trina, Jade did help me. We talked a little and then fell asleep. What's with the third degree?." I sat up straight to face her.

She furrowed her eyebrows. "Uh, nothing I'm just concerned about my baby sister, who only leaves her room to go get wasted and doing who knows what with whoever because she broke up with her lame ass boyfriend ." She snapped at me.

At first I was shocked at her fit, then I changed my expression to one of indifference, of no emotion. Her expression however softened and she seemed to regret what she said.

"Tori, I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you. The only person you've apparently spoken to since Friday is Jade. Don't get me wrong, it's good that you talked she seemed genuinely concerned and distraught for you, I just wish you would talk to me too." Her eyes grew sad, as mine sparked up with, I don't know, hope? At the mention of Jade.

"I'm sorry Treen, it's just been really rough for me." I managed to keep my voice steady, as I felt tears begin to whelm up in my eyes again.

"I know Tori. But remember how we used to talk, like real sisters?." I nod 'yes' and she continues. "Now we never talk. I mean, of all your friends to worry about you, Jade was the one. Jade who I didn't even know was your friend, I thought she hated you, yet she was the one that begged me to see you. I didn't know that you two were friends, I didn't know about you and Andre until Sunday night when you told me while you were drunk. You just, never talk to me anymore Tor."

I could hear my heart as it starts to race. Jade, begged to see me? I reached out and placed my hand on Trina's shoulder. It was true, we used to talk, but since we both got to high school, we just kinda stopped. She became more self-involved, and I.. well I focused on Hollywood Arts, my friends and my dream of becoming a pop star. I did always love when we used to talk. Now we had lost that sisterly connection, and I knew I had to make a step forward to rebuild it. I sighed, bracing myself to tell Trina what happened. I also told her how Jade went from hating my guts to being nice, see what she could make of that.

After I finished telling her what happened Trina just looked at me wide eyed, her mouth hanging half open. I brushed away a few stray tears and waited to hear her opinion and reaction to things.

"Better close your mouth, you'll catch flies." I offered a bitter smile trying to break the silence that had fallen between us.

"Tori, I don't know what to say. I'm so so sorry." Tears slowly falling down her cheeks as she reached up to brush her hand against the bruise on my face. Luckily only one cheek bruised from the hit. I leaned forward and hugged her tightly.

"You know we can't let him get away with this right?." My gaze dropped to my lap where I was nervously fidgeting with my fingers.

"What is there to do Treen? As crazy as this sounds, I don't want to hurt him, I still love him." I said instantly feeling embarrassed at saying that I still loved a cheater and abuser. It was true, before he became those things he was my loving, caring boyfriend, and best friend. I can't just erase my feelings for Andre so fast, so easily, they run deep like scars.

"Wait, you told all this to Jade?." She furrowed her eyebrows in question.

"I did." Was my answer.

She huffed. "You know she's going to destroy him right." She stated in a matter of fact tone. I never thought that Jade would ever hurt Andre for what he did, especially not on my behalf. Why would she? She doesn't even like me.. or does she? As a friend I mean of course!

"Why do you think that?." I felt stupid asking, as I could hear hope creeping into my voice.

"Do you really not see it, or are you just playing dumb lil' sis?."

"What do you mean?." I'm not following what she's saying.

"She likes you. And I mean likes you. She might even love you." My mouth dropped open, and my eyes widened so much it felt like they'd fall out of my head.

"Close your mouth sis, you'll catch flies." She mocked my previous joke and smiled at me. When I finally regained control over my speech I said, "What are you talking about? Jade hates me. She's made it crystal clear again and again. She poured iced coffee on my head, lied about me hitting her to get me in trouble, assaulted me when she thought I had a phone conversation with Beck, ordered me flowers that she knew I was allergic to, so she'd get my part in the school play and she almost took my spot at the PMA's. shall I go on?." I was rambling, although I wanted to believe Trina, I knew it couldn't be so.

Trina just shook her head and chuckled. I furrowed my eyebrows quizzically.

"Okay.. She gave you your spot in the PMA's back, got revenge on Ryder for what he did to you, don't you dare interrupt me, I'll explain later.!." She said as I was about to ask what she was talking about. Then she continued "She was the ONLY one of you friends that asked about you, she begged me to call her when you'd be home so she could come see you, you two talked, she comforted you, held you while you cried and stayed the night all while she held you to her. In the morning you woke up in her embrace, she comforted you some more, gave you a kiss on the forehead as you said and you still have a doubt in your mind about her feelings?." She stated as if it was that obvious, that even Cat would've figured it out.

I just shook my head in disbelief.

"Tori that girl loves you, and from what you've said, I think it's safe to say that the feeling's mutual. You didn't see her when she came to find me to ask about you. The desperation in her voice, the pleading look in her eyes. The love in her eyes. I just must've missed it in that moment. The relief in her voice when I called and told her to come over. You don't react that way when someone's absent from school unless you really love and care for them. Sure she may have acted like she hated you because maybe she wanted to protect herself or didn't think you'd feel the same." She finished with a genuine smile at my dumbfounded expression.

Could it be true? Could Jade ever feel that way about me? My heart stared racing again and my stomach felt like it was going to burst with butterflies or something.

I felt my lips form an incredibly large and stupid smile as I leaned forward and hugged my sister. I had forgotten how good it felt to talk with Trina. She's not half as bad as people think. Here she is now saying that Jade loves me, but I want to hear it from Jade herself not Trina. Though I don't think I'm ready to jump right into another relationship, what if I get my heart broken again? If Andre hurt me this bad, who knows what Jade could do. I frowned while pulling away from the hug, at my thoughts.

Andre was supposed to be the safe one, Jade on the other hand, not so much. I had seen how she acted during her relationship with Beck. Jealous, obsessive, possessive and she'd overreact over the littlest of things. Could I handle that? Especially now, while I'm like this?

All these thoughts and information are a lot to process in such a small amount of time. I'm not even sure about how Jade feels. She hasn't said anything or done anything to indicate that she could be into girls. She was with Beck for 2 and a half years after all.

"Thanks Treen, I really needed to have this talk with you, but now I need some time to think, if you don't mind." I smiled at her, and she smiled back.

"Of course baby sis, just know I'm always here if you need to talk." she squeezed my arm, then left the room.

Now I'm left with my thoughts and mixed feelings that I don't know what to make of.

BOOOM!

There ya go, Tori's POV as promised!

Sooo

A cute little sister bonding went down in this chapter huh?

Trina was able to figure out Jade's feelings, do you think it was right of her to tell Tori?

Tori still loves Andre, she can't help it.

She wants to be with Jade, but she's afraid.

She doesn't trust Jade with her heart?

What did Jade do to Ryder?

Do you think Tori and Jade are gonna finally admit their feelings to each other?

I thought a little sister talk was necessary, don't you think?

Anyways leave your thought, comments and all around reviews about this chapter! Y'all know I love reading your guys' input on things, so have at it!

Till next time folks!

XOXO
