Chapter 9 – A little light
No One's POV.
It was beyond strange, what Jade had just witnessed. A simple mention of Cat, caused Tori to suddenly explode in utter rage.
Then the Latina screamed that Cat was not only never to be mentioned, but Jade was not to mention she was staying here nor invite cat over. Once that was done, Tori stormed off to her room and slammed the door shut.
"What the fuck?" Was all the shocked Goth could say.
After a few moments, Jade collected her confused thoughts and started to clean up dinner by herself. Looking down at Tori's plate, Jade could see the Latina hadn't even gotten halfway through dinner.
As she put the dishes in the dishwasher, Jade thought back to her own relationship with Cat. Right after Hollywood Arts, Jade and Beck went to school in UCLA and Cat went to a private Arts college named 3 Oaks University, in Boston.
At first the friends kept up, using email, texts and skype. Jade also know that Robbie and Cat, who had started to date over the summer, continued with a long distance relationship. But soon enough classes, projects, auditions and her turbulent relationship with Beck, caused those contacts to start to become more infrequent. Also thinking back, Jade remembered, that Beck would frequently say they needed to just focus on them and their future.
Jade didn't mean too, but after the first year of college, contact between her and Cat had almost ground to a halt. Jade was too busy trying to keep Beck's bad side to come out.
Half way through their second year, Beck convinced Jade to move to New York because he got a small TV part and they did. Jade by then was in her own private hell and Cat never came to mind.
Sitting down on the couch, Jade realized she hadn't spoken to Cat in almost 2 years. It only made Jade realize that over the last 3 years, Beck had slowly become her whole universe, to the exclusion of pretty much everything else.
Jade shook her head and mentally cursed herself for letting this happen. As much as she wanted to knock on Tori's door, she knew the effort would be futile. Tori would either not respond at all or just blow her top again. Tori would not come out of the room for the rest of the night.
She picked up her phone to call Andre or perhaps Robbie but stopped when she heard movement from Tori's room.
"She might hear me." Noted Jade quietly.
Instead, she pulled out of her bag, one of her favorite horror films, 1979's The Brood and watched it.
But she found herself unable to enjoy the classic horror film, as she kept wondering just what happened between Cat and Tori.
Looking back at the untouched keyboard, Jade wondered what, if anything did Cat had to do with Tori's abandonment of music, not to mention her whole changed attitude. It was just another piece of a puzzle that all in all, made no sense.
Laying on the couch, half asleep, Jade could only reflect on how damaged everyone, seemed to be now.
"Nothing makes any sense anymore." Jade said to herself, as sleep closer.
Just before she did fall asleep, she had one final thought, "Then again, maybe it never made any sense."
The next morning was Friday and as usual, when Jade woke up, Tori was eating breakfast. Hoping the Latina would be in a better mood, Jade stuck her head in the kitchen.
