AN: Hey guys, thanks for all the support I've been getting, I keep checking my email for notifications, I'm glad you all like it. The point of writing this was to experiment with different situations and to get me more comfortable with writing and to get a feel on what works and what doesn't. This chapter is more so me experimenting with POVs, writing in first person and being able to really showcase a character. Like I said I'm still learning so if there's some criticism you have to offer feel free to share.

Vedriti: Part 2

Jade Pov

The radio was off; the only sounds that could be heard were the window wipers and the rain pelting hard against the car. Vega had squeaked out a small "Thanks" when she got in the car, but that was all.

She hadn't even asked me where I was taking her.

The heat was cranked up at full blast and I turned on the passenger's seat warmer. Vega's shivers died down significantly, but I could tell Vega was still freezing with all those wet clothes on. I had decided to take Vega back my house, it was closer and she needed to get warmed up fast or she'd end up with pneumonia or something. I tensed at the thought. Gripping the steering wheel tightly; my foot inched forward against the pedal.

Of course, I didn't care or anything, but everyone else would whine at me for not helping the poor girl out.

By the time I pulled up in my drive way, she was fast sleep.

Tori Pov

I woke up to the sound of yelling and groaned, Really Trina? It's too early for your complaining. I rolled over and snuggled further into the covers, trying to drown out the noises.

That's when I froze. This was not my bed. My body shot up, losing all sense of sleepiness and my eyes snapped open. This was definitely not my bedroom either. The walls were black with various posters and decorations. The room was mostly black and red furniture, and there were little trinkets and stuff scattered around the room, it looked oddly familiar.

I looked out the window and saw water cascading down the panel.

That's right, it was raining.

I raise a hand up to my hair, feeling the damp locks.

I had to walk home

I had been drenched in my shorts and tank, but now I wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants. I frowned and looked around the room again.

One thing in particular caught my eye. There was a huge poster on the wall the stood out the most. It was poster of a pair of scissors that had blood dripping down the blade and a pale bloody hand that held them. The top of the poster read, "Snip, Snip" and at the bottom, "The Scissoring"

Jade Pov

I threw Vega's clothes in the dryer and turned it on. Thankfully, these hadn't been too hard to obtain. The girl had been half asleep and down with fever when I told her to change into something else, but luckily, she was able to manage it on her own. Then, I gave her some medicine and let her sleep in my bed.

"WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU?"

That was the response I received from the older Vega. Tori's phone must've died, which explained why the girl hadn't called someone to pick her up. Vega may have been stupid, but not that stupid. After a long and exhausting conversation with Trina, she finally stopped bothering me.

"ANOTHER BUSSINNESS TRIP JOHN!?"

That lovely voice belonged to my mother. I quickly moved up the stairs back to my room. Once the yelling started, I was painfully reminded of the reason I had been driving around aimlessly through Hollywood.

Tori heard the door open and slam shut. She looked away from the poster and wasn't that surprised to see jade standing there. It took a while, but Tori finally figured out why this room looked so familiar. Jade's slap videos only showed a part of her room, but it looked just like the rest of it.

Jade handed Tori her phone, "You're clothes are in the dryer." Tori smiled, "Thanks, for everything" The other girl shrugged and moved to sit on her bed and turned the TV volume up.

"YOU'RE SO SELFISH!"

Tori flinched and couldn't help but notice Jade's small cringe.

Jade was confused when Tori launched into her story of how she ended up walking home, but still listened. She snickered at Tori's reenactment of her horror-stricken face and later when the two were watching The Scissoring, Jade would chuckle whenever Tori got scared.

It wouldn't be until after Trina came to pick Tori up, that Jade realized it. Tori Vega had completely drowned out the sounds of her parents fighting.
