Tori's pov

It's the day before my court date and I don't want to go. I know I'll go to prison. I killed someone. I deserve it. I'm going to miss everyone so much. I need to make sure Bella is safe before I go. I can't leave her. She can't be in the courtroom. It will be too hard. She won't get what's really happening. She's only four.

We pull into the apartments lot and get everything out if the car. Walking in we put everything away and change into other clothes. I put on grey sweats and a white tank top and Jade outs on shorts and a tank top. We put a movie on and climb into bed. Our legs are entangled and I'm practically laying on top of Jade.

After the movie I start a group chat.

I just told everyone to come over.

Once they get here I'm greeted by my daughter latching on to me waist.

I crouch down to her level. My eyes watery.

"Bella. I love you so much okay. Always know that. I love you." I day letting a tear fall.

I stand up.

"Guys. I don't know what's happening tomorrow." I say.

Johnnie lets a tear fall. He never cries. I hate that I'm the reason for it.

I walk over to him and wipe away his tear with the back of my hand.

I'm crushed in a group hug with Johnnie, Alex, Elena, Chris, and Jade. After a few minutes I hear someone clear their throat behind us. I pull back and turn around to see Beck, Andre and Cat.

"Who invited them?" I ask.

"I'm sorry I thought you guys were friends." Elena says.

"It's okay Lena. Why are you guys here?" I say to Elena softy before my voice turns cold when I speak to them.

"What do you mean? Your our friend. Why wouldn't we be here?" Cat says.

"If that's why your here you can leave. Your on Becks side. You guys want me to go to jail. This isn't some game you guys are playing with me. This is serious. This could ruin my life. My career." I say to them.

Oh my god what am I supposed to tell Jack?! What about my album?!

"I'm not actually. I don't think you should go. I think you did what you had to. If I were you I would have done the same thing you did." Andre says. (I feel there friendship in the show made them really close and he should still be there for her.)

Cat and Beck look at him shocked. Becks shocked face quickly changes into a glare. He goes to pull Cat out the door but she pulls her arm back.

"No. I'm not leaving. Tori is our friend. Friends stay together. They don't turn on each other. I know that what Tori did was what she had to do. He would have killed her. It was her only option." Cat says.

I smile at her and Beck storms out slamming the door behind him.

"Okay guys what do you want to do now. We only have a few hours though.

"How about we hang here and order pizza. Then for the last hour we can go over to dads house." Johnnie says. I nod and he orders the food.

I quickly change into dance shorts and the band tee that Jade was wearing earlier.

I walk out of the bedroom and walk to the couch.

"Okay guys get up. We need to move everything out if the living room." I say.

Once everything is gone I plug my phone into the speakers and have Jade pick which song. She's picks crazy in love. I get in position and start the dance. Once I'm done I look at Chris.
