Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious it belongs to Dan, no cash is made out of this work of fiction since it's simply written for entertainment purposes only so uh yeah, DONT SUE! Kay?

Since today is Halloween I decided to post yet another "spooky" story, this one is sort of based on the relationship I had with my grandma when I was growing up.


"So? What are we watching?" Jade asked her grandson.

"Oh, mom told me this was your favourite movie when you were a bit younger than me, grandma" Matt replied, I thought maybe I should give it a shot"

"You won't regret it kid" The woman smirked proudly "It's a classic of the horror genre... Not to mention one your Abuelita hated, she never could stand this movie, said it gave her nightmares"

"Will it me nightmares grandma?"

"I doubt it" Jade replied "You're my grandkid after all, so you should love it as much as I do"

"Are you sure you still can watch it?"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Mom says this movie made you cry a lot" Matt said "Because it reminds you a lot of Abuelita Tori"

Jade closed her eyes, a lone tear running down her cheek "She would always cover her eyes in the crook of my neck every time Tawny would start stabbing... I miss that"

"You miss her"

"Yeah... I do"

"She died twenty five years ago, right grandma?"

"Indeed" Jade agreed, and not a day goes by when I don't think of her, she was the best thing that ever happened to me"

"So I got to ask... What keeps you here? Why don't you move on?"

"Ugh, not this again"

"Yes, this again!" The young man snapped "Come on grandma! I remember the day Abuelita Tori passed away, you were a crying mess!"

"She was... Is the love of my life, Matt" Jade shot back "When you get older I just hope you never have to experience the sort of pain I went through when your Abuelita moved on... I never felt so... Alone"

"But you were never alone grandma" He said with so much sympathy "You still had mom, aunt Dani, uncle Tony, me and all your other grandchildren, sure we would never been able to replace Abuelita Tori but my point is you still had people who loved you as much as she did."

"And I appreciate that" Jade replied kindly "she sure was a unique woman and I was so lucky to have her in my life"

They were each other's first time.

They bought their first home together.

They started a family together.

They dealt with real problems for the first time.

They went to Europe for the first time together.

They grew old together.

And never stopped loving each other.

"Exactly my point grandma" Matt said, his lips trembling "So why won't you go into the light? I'm sure Abuelita is waiting to see you"

"And I sure want to see her" Jade cried out "But you see Matt, the day you were born? It was one of the happiest moments of my life, I promised myself that I would look after you, that I would protect you and death be damn!"

"But grandma..."

"No buts Matt!" She interrupted "I may be dead and I may miss my wife but I know she understands why I'm still bounded here on Earth... I miss her more everyday that goes by but I'm gonna have all eternity to spend with her when I finally cross over... You need me now"

"What if I didn't need you anymore?"

"Then I would move in to the afterlife"

"Ok then... I don't need you anymore"

"Nice try kid"

Matt lowered his head "It was worth a shot"

"You're just like you mom in that way... You want what's best for me, but you only think what's best, I don't want to leave this world just yet, when the time is right then I'll go"

"Grandma?"

"Yeah?"

"When I die, will you be there to show me the road to the afterlife?"

"Would you want me to?" Jade asked.

"Yes"

"Then I will... But that won't happen for a very long time"

"I know" He sniffed "And to be honest... I don't want you to go, it's just that I don't think it would be fair to ask you to stay when Abuelita Tori want to see you again"

"And she wil... Not just yet"

"You're very stubborn Grandma"

"So are you kid" Jade says proudly "Must be a family thing... Oh that reminds me, I need you to do something for me"

"What is it?"

"Get some pan de muertos" She ordered "Tomorrow's the day of the dead and you leave something for your Abuelita, she might make the trip back from the afterlife and I would love to see her again, even for a day or two."

Matt grinned "Consider it done."

"Good... Let's make sure to honor your Abuelita tomorrow, because the moment family is forgotten only then are they truly gone and I would be damn to let that happen.. Because Tori is unforgettable."


Well watcha think of this one?

Like I said this chapter was sort of a parody of the close bond my grandma and I had when I was growing up, needless to say that I was very close to her, which is why this story is dedicated to her memory, since last week it's been two years since she passed away.

By the way, yes... November 1st and 2nd are when the "Dia De Los Muertos" is celebrated in Mexico, and the pan the muertos or bread of the dead is one of the offerings we give the dead for them to have when they come back to the land of the living.

The word Abuelita is the Spanish word for Grandma, it was probably rather obvious to some of you but I still need to translate it jut in case.

Also, part of the idea was inspired by the movie Para-Norman, which is where the idea of Matt being able to see Jade's spirit came from, not very original but I wanted something to go with the theme of Halloween/Day of the Dead."

Finally, in case you're all wondering, Matt can see plenty of spirits, not just Jade... So he will be able to see Tori when she comes to visit her loved ones.
