A/N: So this chapter glorifies violence because I wrote it when I was an angry 15 year old but I can't be bothered to rewrite it so sorry lmao.

"When do you start group therapy?"

Jade scowled and shook her head. "This week sometime. I'm not allowed to leave the hospital until I go to at least one session."

"You know it's what's best for you," Tori smiled running her hand through her disgruntled girlfriend's hair.

"According to you," she grumbled.

"According to everyone," Tori laughed.

"Have you heard any more about Lucy?" Jade suddenly asked.

"I've told you already Jade. Lucy is going to be fine. You're lucky to have such a loyal dog, you know," Tori replied nudging Jade with her shoulder. The police had found the injured dog whimpering in her bed and rushed her to the vets. Luckily, there wasn't internal bleeding and she would be released around the same time that Jade would. Tori figured that their reunion would be good for Jade.

There was a knock on the door and a doctor came in looking stern. "Come now Tori, you know it's not visiting hour."

"She's my girlfriend, I should be allowed to see her whenever I want to," Tori said hotly. Jade snickered from the bed.

"Miss West needs her rest. I must insist that you come back later."

Tori was going to protest but Jade interrupted. "It's okay babe. I'll see you later. You should be getting ready for school after all."

"Did you have to remind me of that fact?" Tori groaned.

Jade's fingers tickled Tori's thigh. "You know it's true. The holidays are almost over."

"Fine," Tori whined. "But when you're finally out of here, I'm going to make you sort out which of my pens are working and which aren't."

Jade laughed loudly and nodded. "You got a deal Vega."

Tori smiled and leant over, giving Jade a kiss on the forehead. Whilst she was leaving the room, she gave the doctor a glare. There, that should teach him to keep her away from her girlfriend again.

To get home from the hospital, Tori had to drive past Jade's house. She couldn't help herself and she glanced at the building. The police tapes had been taken down and so it just looked like another ordinary house. However, she saw something on the driveway that made her slam her foot down on the brakes.

A car.

The first thing that went through Tori's mind was revenge. There was no doubt that it was Jade's mother's car on that driveway which meant she was inside the house. Pure anger raced through her body and she pulled her own car over onto the sidewalk and practically flew out of the door. That woman was going to pay for what she did to Jade.

Tori raced up the driveway and to the entrance of the house. She tried to open the door but it was locked. Taking a deep breath, she rapped angrily on the wood. She heard a sudden crash occur from inside the house and then a woman's voice cursed.

"Who is it?"

"Just open the damn door!" Tori yelled back. There were heavy footsteps and then the sounds of somebody fiddling at the lock. The door was pulled open and a middle-aged woman was standing behind it. The resemblance to Jade was uncanny. They both had raven-black hair and the same piercing green eyes.

"You're Jade's mother," Tori spat. She was so angry her hands were shaking.

The woman's face turned into a sneer. "What's it to you? Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am!" Tori exclaimed. "Do you have any idea what you did to Jade?"

The woman rolled her eyes. "It's none of your business."

"She's in hospital you vile woman! She's in hospital because of you!"

The woman went silent, her face blank. Before Tori could comprehend what was happening, she had stepped back inside and almost closed the door. Tori stuck her foot out and stopped it from closing all the way.

"Hell no, you're not getting out of this one that easily!"

"Get out of my house," Jade's mother screamed as she ran down the hallway and into the kitchen. Tori followed her, keeping the front door open.

"Not until you know how much agony you've put your daughter through!"

"I don't want to know!"

"You don't want to know?" Tori screeched as she stepped into the kitchen. "What kind of a mother are you? That's your daughter we're talking about! You almost killed her!"

The woman stepped menacingly towards Tori but the brunette didn't flinch. In fact, she got even angrier and her nostrils flared, ready to defend Jade to the death.

"Don't even fucking think about it. If you lay a hand on me, you'll regret it. I'll hurt you worse than you did to Jade. Get a taste of your own disgusting medicine."

"How dare you talk to me like that? You're just a kid!"

"How dare you abuse your daughter?" Tori sneered.

"I'm giving you one warning," the woman said. "Get out of my house and I won't call the police."

"Go ahead, call the police! I'll just tell them that you're Jade's mother and you're the reason why she's in hospital right now."

"I'm not fucking around kid."

"Neither am I," Tori hissed stepping closer to the woman. Something savage crossed her features and Tori was wise enough to move out of the way as she threw a wild fist in the air. Tori's anger grew.

"You missed you fucking loser."

The woman gave an agonized cry and went after Tori again but she was quicker. Tori sidestepped once again and without thinking about it, punched Jade's mother in the face. Her knuckles impacted with the woman's nose and blood spurted out all over her face and Tori's hand.

Her fist ached from the punch but the satisfaction of hurting this foul human being was worth the pain.

"You bitch!" the woman screamed as she tried to stem the bleeding. "You broke my fucking nose!"

"You broke Jade's heart!" Tori screamed back.

"I don't give a shit what I did to Jade! She deserved everything she got and more!"

Tori snapped once again. She threw another punch and this time hit the woman's eye. She screamed and Tori sneered, just wanting to hurt this woman further. She didn't deserve Jade. She didn't deserve to breathe.

Tori kicked the woman's legs out from underneath her and she went sprawling on the floor, hitting her head on the linoleum. There was a sickening crack and Jade's mother fell immediately unconscious, blood pooling from her head.

"Oh, shit," Tori gasped, kneeling beside the woman's body. "Don't be dead, don't be dead."

Tori leaned her head to the woman's mouth and sighed in relief when she heard the air flowing in and out of her.

This was the second time she had been in this kitchen with a bleeding, unconscious person on the floor. Except this time, it was her fault. She expected to feel remorse or guilt but she felt nothing. Nothing but satisfaction. Tori knew that probably made her a terrible person but she couldn't bring herself to care. Not right now.

But she knew she couldn't just leave this woman to bleed out in the kitchen.

Tori searched for the house phone and for the second time, called an ambulance. She knew she couldn't use her cell phone in case they figured out it was her who did this. Tori didn't stick around. As soon as she hung up, she ran out of the house and down to her car, starting it up and speeding out of Jade's street, the image of blood pouring on white tiles lasting in her mind.

Tori raced home, lucky not to end up in a car accident herself. She jumped out of the car and slammed open her front door, emotions and thoughts racing around her mind.

"Tori?"

It was Trina. Tori suddenly went into full-fledged panic mode and paced around the living room, her heart beating irrationally fast. What if the police found out what she did? She would be in so much trouble. Oh God, what was she going to do?

"Tori, what the hell are you doing?" Trina asked standing at the staircase.

"I messed up Trina. Holy shit, I messed up," Tori said running a hand through her hair.

"What are you talking about?"

Trina hurried down the stairs and put her hands on Tori's shoulder.

"I did something really bad sis,'" Tori whispered looking into Trina's murky eyes. The concern there made her want to break down. Her sister was the only person in her family that had always been there for her. She had been acting as her mother while her real parents went gallivanting around doing who knows what.

"Tori, you're starting to scare me. What happened?"

Tori slumped down onto the couch and put her face in her hands. "Did I tell you who hurt Jade?"

"Her mother, wasn't it?" Trina asked sitting down next to her sister.

"Yes. Well, today when I was driving home from the hospital, I went past Jade's house and I saw... I saw Jade's mother's car."

"Tori, what did you do?"

"I got so, so angry, Trina. You have no idea. I've never been so angry in my life and so... I knocked on the door and she answered it. We argued a bit and-and the next thing I knew, I was punching her and she was on the kitchen floor and there was blood everywhere and oh!"

"Oh my God, Tori!" Trina exclaimed jumping up from the couch. "Oh my God, this can't be happening."

"I don't need you freaking out as well!" Tori shrieked almost hysterical now.

"Well, what am I supposed to do? You didn't... you didn't kill her did you?" Trina shrieked as well.

"No!" Tori exclaimed looking at her sister in shock. "Do you really think I would do that?"

"I don't know, Tori! You've always had a bit of a temper!"

"I'm not capable of murder, Trina! I-I called an ambulance and left as quickly as I could."

Trina paced around the room this time. "Okay, okay, okay. It's going to be fine. We just- we just don't tell anybody, okay?"

"'Don't tell anybody?' Really? That's your great idea?" Tori exclaimed unable to keep the hysteria out of her voice. "What happens if they find out what I did? I'm screwed!"

"I don't know, Tori!" Trina said throwing her hands in the air. "This is bad, this is bad."

"Maybe-maybe I should just tell the police what happened and-"

"Are you crazy? That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard!"

"Fine! I won't tell anyone! But promise me, Trina. Promise me you'll protect me. Promise me!" Tori cried.

"Of course I will, Tori. I always have and I always will."

Tori flung from the couch and wrapped her arms around Trina's neck, holding her tightly. The tears finally started flowing down her cheeks and onto her sister's skin.

"I'm scared, Trina."

"I know baby, I know. I've got you though, okay? I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."

"Should I tell Jade?" Tori blubbered.

"I-I think you should. She's going to want to hear it from you, Tori."

Tori nodded into Trina's shoulder.

"Okay, okay, you're right."

Tori let go of Trina and without another word, headed up to her room. She collapsed on her bed and fell blissfully asleep, unaware that her sister was watching her from the doorway.
