The Scissoring

Chapter Three: Hey, Big Sister

"Ugh." Jade sat crossed legged on the chair in the corner of his room "I thought she'd never leave."

"Why are you here?" He asked curiously as he pushed the covers off of himself and sat on top of the bed.

"You're not happy I'm back?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Of course I am." He smiled "I didn't tell on you did I."

"No, I suppose not." She thought.

"I know you didn't mean to hurt me, Jade, it was an accident." He smiled innocently, noticing her not saying anything "right?"

"Right." She smiled.

Victorious

"Something doesn't feel right." Andrè spoke up as they all sat around downstairs.

"You mean Beck missing?" Tori asked.

"No, it's Jacob," Robbie agreed "don't you think he seemed, I don't know, odd, when he came back?"

"It's the anniversary of his sisters death," Cat defended, joining in on the conversation as she walked downstairs "I'd be worried if he wasn't acting weird."

"Did he say anything about Beck to you?" Andre asked.

"No," she shrugged "I just told him a story about a giraffe and he went to sleep."

"What, he didn't say anything?" Tori asked, doubting that very much.

"No." She looked around at her friends as they all stared at her, looking for answers "I told you, I read him a story and he went to sleep."

A loud bang came from upstairs and everyone looked at each other.

"You sure he's asleep?" Tori asked, looking up the stairs to see if she could see Jacob on the landing.

"I think so." Cat said, feeling not so certain, she was sure he had fallen asleep, maybe he'd just got up to go to the toilet, she tried to reason with herself "come on, Robbie." She grabbed his hand, proceeding to drag him up the stairs.

"What, why have I gotta go?!" He exclaimed, pulling his hand out of her grasp "that kid creeps me out."

"So?" Tori looked at him "you creep US out, just go and help Cat tuck the kid in, would ya?"

"But..."

"Please, Robbie." Cat said sweetly, batting her eyelashes as she stroked his arm up and down, making Andre and Tori smirk as he stuttered nervously.

"I-I, but it's, he's, could you keep doing that, please?"

"Doing what?" She smiled, holding his hand as she continued to flirt with him.

"Oh fine." He conceded, holding his head down as Cat clapped happily.

"Yay!" She cheered, picking up his hand again "come on."

They walked up the stairs to find nothing but a closed door at the end of the hallway, Cat tried to open it but it seemed it was locked "Jake, what have Jade and I told you about locking your door," Cat knocked on it lightly "come and open it, please."

"Maybe I should open it." He said to his sister who was now sat next to him on the bed "it's only Cat, she's not gonna hurt us."

"Just ignore her, she'll go away soon." Jade sighed.

"Jake, who are you talking to?" Cat continued knocking "you're supposed to be asleep."

"She won't go." Jacob whispered to her.
