Tori stood up kicking her chair behind her. "Talk! Both of you just talk! Right now! Yell at each other if you're mad, but for God sakes just talk to each other!" She screamed. "I can't take this! I hate silence! I hate it! Talk!" She grabbed the coconut out of Sikowitz' hands and smashed it on the stage making milk splash Andre.

"Woah now!" He yelled quickly backing up. "Tori, calm down." He wiped the milk off his face. "You got me all covered in nasty smelling chiz."

"I won't calm down until those two start talking or yelling! I don't care what you do just speak! Make noise! Grunt! Groan! Scoff! I don't give a fuck what you do, but I can't take any more of this silence! I've had enough!" She stormed over to Cat and grabbed the red head's phone out of her hand. She knew it was safer to grab Cat's than Jade's, Jade would kill her if she even tried. "Say something now or I'll break it! I'll smash it, Cat!" Tori yelled rushing back onto the stage.

Cat looked from Tori holding her phone to Jade. Both of them to stubborn to break the silence first, but Cat couldn't afford a new phone. She opened her mouth to shout at Tori.

"Stop!"

Cat gasped.

"Put her phone down nicely, Vega, and no one will get hurt." Jade said as she stood to approach Tori, but Tori backed away holding Cat's phone higher. Jade held her hand out. "Give me the phone,Vega. Don't piss me off."

"Don't try it, Jade!" Tori snapped. "I am done with this silence and the only way she is getting her phone back is when you two talk!" She yelled grabbing a hammer, that no one understood why Sikowitz had. "I'll smash it into little pieces, Jade!"

"I am talking!" Jade yelled back.

"Not to me." Tori took a deep breath and looked over at Cat. "Now or the phone gets broken." She held the hammer near the phone in her hand.

"Alright!" Jade yelled. She turned and looked at Cat. "Hi." Then she turned back to Tori. "Are you happy now?!"

"No! Work it out!" Tori shouted. "You and Cat better work it out or Cat can kiss her pear phone goodbye!"

"Fine." Jade grumbled. She turned to look at Cat again. "I'm sorry." She muttered under her breath. "Cat."

"I didn't hear you, Jade!" Tori called out. "I don't think Cat did either!"

Jade huffed. "I'm sorry!" She yelled. "I am so very sorry!" She sighed. "I got jealous and pissy. It was stupid."

Cat pouted. "I didn't even know why you were mad. You just kept ignoring me and then you called me a baby."

Jade rolled her eyes. "Well you are."

Cat made a whining noise.

"But it's okay. I don't mind. I like how innocent you are." Jade shrugged. "I just- sometimes I need you to be the mature one. I want to tell you about all this crap I'm going through, but I can't because you start crying."

"I only start crying because I love you so much and it makes me sad when you're hurting. I wanna help you, but I don't know how." Cat sniffed.

Jade rolled her eyes. "There you go again. Crying like a little baby."

Tori slowly lowered Cat's phone as she watched them talking to each other.

"I can't help it. I'm sad. You shut me out and got mad at me. Why?"

Jade gulped. "Because I needed you and you weren't around. You were with Vega." She frowned. "Like I said I got jealous and pissy. I'm sorry, Cat."

Tori frowned. Suddenly, it made sense why they were texting about her.

"Jadey, Tori is my friend, but you are my best friend forever. If you would have told me you needed me I would have left Tori's in a heartbeat and she would have understood. She knows you're my best friend. Forever." Cat gave Jade a reassuring smile, a smile that said she was always there.

Jade rolled her eyes again and held her arms out to her best friend. Cat grinned and leaped at Jade wrapping her arms tightly around her. Tori handed her back her phone over Jade's shoulder and Cat grinned.

Beck smiled at the sight of his girl and her best friend finally making up.

Robbie grinned brightly knowing Cat wouldn't be so sad anymore.

Andre tried to smile for his friends, but the milk dripping from his hair to his eyes was making it hard to see.

Tori grinned. "Silence over?"

Jade and Cat pulled apart and turned to look at the crazy latina whom was going to destroy Cat's pear phone.

"Silence over, whack job." Jade said.

Cat giggled. "Why did you freak out?"

Tori let out a nervous chuckle. "I-I just don't like silence. That's all it was."

"Seemed like more to me." Cat said innocently. "You had a full meltdown."

"It wasn't a meltdown." Tori defended.

"Yes it was. I would know, Jadey has them all the time." Cat said then she bit her lip. "Oops. Sorry Jadey."

"You're fine." Jade brushed it off and crossed her arms over her chest. "Cat is right. I know a melt down when I see one, Vega, and you flipped out."

"I-I did not. I just snapped a little."

"You swore." Jade chuckled.

"You were gonna break my celly." Cat stated holding her phone to her chest.

"You did really freak out." Beck agreed walking up to stand beside Jade.

"I was fine. I- I was being dramatic to get them talking and it worked!"

"But you yelled a lot." Robbie added as he walked up to stand with Cat.

"Hello?! You smashed a coconut! You smashed Sikowitz' coconut and got me all soaked in stupid smelly milk!" Andre yelled while trying to wring out the milk from his dreads. "Why?!"

Tori looked around at all her friends staring at her, plus Sikowitz and the shruggers who sit in the back.

She sighed. "Because I hate silence. I could only take so much of it. Between school and home I was going crazy."

Jade scoffed. "How is your home silent? Your sister is Trina Vega."

Tori frowned. "My parents are silent. They haven't talked to each other in days. Dinners are quiet and all you can hear during the day is the TV or my mom's message tone going off."

Andre frowned and walked over. "I'm sorry, Tor. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because everyone here was being silent too. Too afraid to set off Jade and Cat." She rolled her eyes.

Jade and Cat felt bad, well Jade only felt a little bad, but Cat was about to start crying again. She hated when her friends were sad and hurting.

Andre pulled Tori into a hug.

"Ew, you smell weird." She stated crinkling up her nose. "Like rotten-"

"I know! Whose fault is that?!" He snapped making her laugh. "I need a shower. This is not funny guys!"

They all started laughing.
