The Scissoring

Chapter Four: Nobody knows

It's been a couple hours since Beck found Jacob, I can't stop looking over at them, I've never seen Beck like this, he's usually so chilled out but you can tell he's stressed right now. Even whilst sleeping, he's definitely not the same Beck I met three years ago. Then again, none of my friends are. They've all changed this year, I had no idea just how important Jade was to our group until we lost her.

I look around the room, everyone's asleep but me and Andre. I smile a little, seeing Robbie with his arms around Cat as she sleeps on his chest "I always told you they needed a crisis to bring them together" I whispered to Andre, looking up at him, his arm over my shoulder.

"Jade wouldn't be happy about it" he whispered back, frowning a little at the dork with our cute little red headed friend.

"No, I think she would actually"

"Nah, she hated Robbie"

"Jade hated everyone" Tori remarked

He chuckled dryly "You really didn't know her as much as you think you did"

I frowned, looking at him "Oh, thanks, I thought we were just starting to be friends actually" she pouted a little

"You were" he whispered, trying not to wake everyone up as they talked "but you didn't KNOW her"

I looked back over at Beck asleep with Jacob and wondered if maybe he really has changed or maybe I just didn't know him either.

"It's late" she whispered to him.

He nodded "Yeah, you should go to sleep, Tor, this is really late for you" he teased her

"Um excuse me, who stayed up until 3 at your birthday party, AND last Halloween" she pointed at herself with her thumbs "so I think you'll find..."

He nudged her and gestured to her to lower her voice, pointing to Cat, noticing her waking up, not a very heavy sleeper since we got the call Jade had died...

They had all come back from seeing the movie and Tori was around Cat's as she was scared after watching a horror movie. The first one she had ever seen if you don't include Jade's self written and starred in short films. It was worked out the only way they could convince Cat to come was Jade had to promise to sleep round afterwards. Even though she hated sleeping around Cat's in her bright pink bedroom, she begrudgingly agreed.

We're told she died about 10 o clock but didn't receive the call until late in the night. Cat's mom picked it up, it was my dad, he'd asked her if he could talk to me. I thought he was joking at first. But no, Jade really had killed herself. At least that's what I thought for a year. I just don't understand why Beck would prefer believe she killed herself rather than get murdered.

After it finally sank in that my, I dont even know what to call Jade anymore. My frenemy? We went and tried to wake Cat to tell her but she had taken her "special medication" so was out until morning.

Victorious

She put her pear shaped phone back down after checking the time, magically getting it back from demon Jade back at her house. Midnight had just passed. They'd turned the films off ages ago, everyone worried about Jacob. He was no longer crying out or screaming "Jade" and whilst it wasn't the nicest thing to hear, it wasn't as harrowing as the stone cold silence that had settled in him. The only light offered to his cheeks was the light coming from the fire, giving a warm enough presence to the room as it heated up everyone. But Jacob.

If Tori closed her eyes for a second, she could almost pretend they were just all having a sleepover like before the craziness started. That's the only word she could think of for this right now:
