This is my newest story, which i suddenly felt the need to write the other day and it took me a week to finish it.
It's kind of like what i like to write but at the same time it isn't, it's pretty different actually...Sort of on the more fiction than reality side but whatever, i enjoyed writing it and i hope you enjoy it as well!
I don't own the characters or the show.
ENJOY! (AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW)
It was a normal day in Hollywood Arts and the gang was, as usual, standing in the main hall. "Can you guys believe the school year is almost over?" Tori questioned.
"I know, time went by so fast" Andre responded.
"Speaking of that, remember we have to pay the fees for next semester" Robbie commented.
"True, I'll tell my dad" Tori said. "Anyway, what are you guys gonna do today?"
"Nothing" Beck responded.
"Yeah, we are free, got a plan?" Andre asked Tori.
"Well, we could go to the movies or something" Tori suggested.
"Cat and I have some things to do later, right?" Jade commented and Cat nodded.
"What are you gonna do?" Robbie questioned curiously.
"We-"Cat started but Jade cut her off.
"We are gonna go shopping and Cat will help me get some things out of my house" Jade informed.
"Things out of your house? Why?" Beck questioned confused.
"Jade moved out of her house" Cat informed and Jade rolled her eyes slightly because she didn't want everyone to know but now they did.
"What? Why? And where are you gonna live now? I thought your mom was in New York" Tori commented confused.
"She is" Jade said.
"Why did you decide to move then and where?" Andre asked.
"Because my dad's wife is a bitch and she won't stop making my life hell" Jade responded.
"She kicked you out?" Beck asked surprised.
"Not exactly but she did way worse things" Jade said. "My dad believes everything she says and he is always yelling at me because of her, it was bad enough when he kept bothering me because I want to be an artist but since I had to move in with them, it's ten times worse because she hates me"
"It can't be that bad, Jade" Tori said.
"It can't be that bad? She never calls me by my name, she refers to me as 'that girl' when my dad is around or 'bitch' when we are alone, she doesn't allow me to take things from the fridge unless they're mine and one time she even drugged me and told my dad I'd come home high so he would take my car away, now tell me it's not that bad" Jade said and they all stared at her completely shocked.
"Oh my god, that woman really is mean" Robbie commented.
"That sounds like the classic evil stepmom from a movie" Tori added.
"Yeah, exactly but I moved out so whatever" Jade responded.
"And where are you living now?" Beck asked.
"I'm renting an apartment" Jade answered.
"And it's so pretty" Cat added.
"I wanna see it" Tori said. "Can we go help you today?" She offered but Jade looked at Cat slightly nervously.
"Ummm…no, we are not gonna be there for long, some other day" Jade responded. "Anyway, let's go Cat"
"Bye!" Cat said sweetly and both girls walked out of the school.
"I can't believe Jade moved out" Andre commented.
"I know but I'm glad she did, after hearing what a bitch her stepmom is it's understandable that she wanted to leave" Tori said and Beck nodded. "I'm curious to see her new apartment, I hope she invites us over soon"
Next day Jade and Cat arrived to school together and their friends were already there so they greeted them. "Hey girls, how was shopping?" Andre asked as they walked inside.
"Uh?" Cat asked confused. "Shopping?
"Yes, Cat, remember we went shopping yesterday" Jade said staring at her smiling and they looked at them weirdly because it almost seemed Jade was trying to make Cat lie.
"Oh…yeah" Cat said still looking at Jade. "We went shopping yesterday" She said nervously.
"And what did you buy?" Beck questioned trying to catch them in the lie.
"Um…"Cat said and looked at Jade nervously so she rolled her eyes because it was obvious Cat was lying.
"We went grocery shopping, why?" Jade asked them.
"Nothing, just curious" Beck said.
"Anyway, can we come over today?" Tori asked and Jade sighed annoyed.
"Fine" Jade simply said.
When classes were over they all walked out to the parking lot and saw Jade getting in a really nice car. "Whoa! Didn't you say your dad took your car?" Tori said when Jade opened the door.
"Yes and I had to buy a new one" Jade simply responded and they looked at each other slightly surprised because she said it like it had been easy. "Anyway, Cat comes with me and the rest of you with Beck, follow me" She ordered and they all got in the cars.
Jade drove for about half an hour before finally entering the parking lot of a really tall fancy building so Beck and Tori looked at each other confused because the place looked extremely expensive but they followed her in anyway. "Her apartment is here?" Andre asked surprised as they drove through the parking lot which was full of expensive cars.
Cat and Jade got out of her car and the rest of them got out of Beck's car as well. "Come on…" Jade ordered and she got in the elevator, they all followed her in and she pressed the number 13 on it.
There was silence the whole time and when the elevator opened, they saw only one door on the floor which Jade simply opened and walked inside followed by Cat but the rest of them were only staring at the door from the outside. "What are you waiting for? Come in" Jade demanded slightly annoyed and they stepped into her apartment only to get more shocked.
"Oh my god" Tori said as she looked around. The apartment was very huge and it looked really elegant; the furniture, the decoration, the electric products, the view and everything else in it made it look amazing. "You live here?" She questioned shocked as Cat grabbed a chocolate dessert from the fridge.
"Yes" Jade simply said and sat down on a tall chair next to Cat.
"It's amazing" Andre complimented.
"How are you paying for it?" Beck asked curiously and she looked down nervously for a second.
"I got a job and my mom sends me some money" Jade said.
"This place can't be less than $1200 a month, Jade" Beck commented.
"So? I can afford it" Jade responded coldly.
"If you can afford a place like this and a new car with your job then contact me, please" Tori commented and laughed.
"Jade, she could h-"Cat started but Jade cut her off.
"Cat, why don't you take the ice cream out of the fridge? It's your favorite" Jade commented and she nodded.
"Well, I'm glad you can live…like this now that you've left your house" Beck said sincerely and she nodded.
"So I guess that's it, right? You've seen where I live and you can leave now" Jade commented.
"Don't kick us out yet, we want to stay a little longer" Tori said and Jade exhaled annoyed. "What if we watch a movie or something?"
"Yesssss!" Cat said excitedly and Jade rolled her eyes, she didn't like to have people over but they were her friends so she decided to do it.
"Fine, let's watch a movie" Jade said and they all went to the TV room.
"Wow, this is amazing" Andre said smiling as they walked into that room. The screen was huge and the couches looked very comfortable it was almost like a mini movie theater.
"Thanks" Jade said.
They watched a movie and then went back to the living room. "You have a piano!" Tori exclaimed excitedly when she saw the beautiful black piano.
"Yeah…" Jade responded with fake excitment.
"I have never seen you playing" Tori said.
"She is amazing" Beck complimented and Jade smiled a little at him.
"Show us" Tori demanded.
"You don't believe it?" Jade questioned coldly.
"No, no, it's not that…I just want to see you playing, please" Tori answered nicely.
"Yes, Jadey, please!" Cat added and Jade sighed before sitting down on it.
Jade started playing the piano and everyone stared at her smiling, she was indeed very good at it so her friends were enjoying the music but all the sudden the magic was broken by the sound of Jade's phone ringing.
Jade looked at it and then at her friends nervously but she picked up anyway. "Hello" She said and stood up.
"Now?" She asked and started walking away so her friends wouldn't hear a lot. "Yes, of course"
"Who is she talking to?" Tori whispered but her friends didn't know either.
"You sent it to my email, right?" Jade asked. "I will, bye" she said and hung up.
"Who was it?" Beck asked curiously.
"None of your business" Jade responded coldly. "Cat, I'll drive you home on my way" She asked.
"On your way? You're leaving?" Tori questioned confused.
"Yes and so are you" Jade said.
"Can I stay here?" Cat asked and Jade thought about it.
"Alright, just call your mom and tell her" Jade said and Cat nodded smiling. "Bye!" She said to the rest of them and they looked at each other.
"Okay…" Tori said feeling a little sad but she wasn't surprised Jade had kicked them out, she was just confused because of the situation.
Beck, Andre, Tori and Robbie walked out of the apartment and went down to the parking lot again. "That was weird" Andre said.
"Jade is weird" Beck responded.
"Why can Cat stay but not us?" Tori asked.
"You heard her, none of our business" Beck said annoyed. "Whatever, let's just go home"
"She is hiding something" Tori affirmed.
"Don't be paranoid, just because she is living a fancy place doesn't mean she is suddenly a gangster" Andre responded chuckling.
"No, it's not that but still, I want to know what she does"
Next day Jade and Cat showed up at school, as usual lately, together and their friends approached them. "Hey, what's up?" Andre asked.
"Hi" Cat answered nicely.
"What did you guys do last night?" Beck questioned.
"We had a nice sleepover, why?" Jade asked back coldly.
"Weren't you supposed to go somewhere last night?" Beck asked.
"I saw my dad but again, that's none of your business" Jade said.
"Why are you so defensive?" Tori asked and Jade chuckled.
"Me? You're the ones acting like I'm hiding something" Jade commented. "Cat and I spent the night watching movies and doing each other's eyebrows, didn't we?" she asked Cat.
"Yes, we watched Mama…it was scary" Cat said and they nodded.
"Alright…" Beck said and drank some coffee.
"What? You don't believe us?" Jade questioned coldly.
"I never said that" He responded. "Anyway, I was gonna ask you guys if you'd like to go to the beach tomorrow, we haven't done it in a while"
"That'd be great!" Tori responded.
"I'm in" Andre said happily and so did Robbie.
"I wanna go too" Cat said excitedly.
"What about you, Jade?" Beck asked her because she was the only one who hadn't said anything, she was just thinking.
"I can't go, I have something to do tomorrow" Jade responded.
"What is it? Can you not cancel it?" Tori asked curiously.
"It's work, I can't cancel it" Jade said.
"Where do you work and at what time?" Beck questioned. "We could return before your turn starts"
"No, it's okay…You guys go and have fun, I'll see you later" Jade simply said and walked away.
"What is it with Jade lately?" Robbie asked.
"Cat, tell us the truth…is Jade hiding something?" Tori asked and Cat started laughing nervously.
"No, of course not" She said. "I have to pee, see you later" She said and left as well.
"They are both lying, I can feel it" Tori said.
"It can't be anything so bad so calm down" Andre responded.
A month went by and things were getting weirder because Jade never spent time with them anymore, she was always busy and Cat was often with her so the rest of the gang got suspicious but they couldn't know what they were hiding.
"Are you guys sure we should do this? Jade and Cat didn't invite us" Tori commented as Beck drove to Jade's apartment.
"We'll surprise them, if they are not hiding anything then there shouldn't be a problem" Beck responded but before he drove into the parking lot Robbie's voice stopped him.
"Wait, isn't that Jade?" He asked and pointed to a woman exiting the main entrance of the building. Indeed it was Jade but she looked different, her hair was straight and she was wearing a very elegant outfit.
"Yes, it's her" Beck affirmed as they saw her walking down the stairs, where a much older man greeted her by kissing her hand and she smiled so Beck stared at them feeling a little upset.
"She looks so different" Tori commented.
"Who is that man?" Andre asked, they were so confused.
"I have no idea" Beck said coldly, they watched Jade smiling at him happily as he put his hands around her waist and Beck exhaled angrily.
"What are they saying?" Robbie asked, they could see they were talking but they didn't know about what.
"What are you doing?" Tori asked Beck when she saw him grabbing his phone and then they saw Jade getting distracted by her phone ringing. "Oh my god, you called her"
They watched Jade as she stared at her phone and simply declined the call without even hesitating, she put her phone back in her purse and the man opened the car door for her.
"She is leaving with him" Andre affirmed while watching the man getting in the car as well before driving away. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds but Tori broke it.
"What do we do now?" Tori questioned.
"Cat wasn't there so she must be still in the apartment" Robbie commented.
"Let's go see her then, maybe she knows who that man is" Beck said coldly and drove inside.
Cat was watching a movie and eating ice cream when the bell rang so she got confused because they weren't awaiting anyone. "Who is it?" Cat asked.
"It's us, Cat, open the door" Tori said and Cat exhaled relieved before opening.
"Hey guys" She said sweetly.
"Hey" They said.
"Where is Jade?" Beck questioned pretending not to know to see what she answered.
"Uh…she went out" Cat said.
"Out? With whom?" Tori asked and Cat thought about it for a few seconds.
"With her dad" Cat lied and they looked at each other.
"Why are you lying, Cat? We saw her and that man wasn't her dad" Beck affirmed and she stared at them nervously.
"What did you see?" Cat questioned.
"She came out, a man kissed her hand, opened the car door for her and they left in his car" Tori responded and Cat looked down trying to come up with something.
"What's the matter, Cat? Jade told you not to tell anyone about her new relationship?" Beck questioned pretending it didn't bother him.
"What relationship? She is not dating anyone" Cat affirmed.
"Come on, Cat, it's pretty obvious that that man she is hooking up with pays for this apartment and her car and everything, we are not stupid" Beck commented angrily. "He could be her father, she is dating him for the money, isn't she?"
"No" Cat said shaking her head.
"It's okay, Cat, it's her life… but why does she make you lie for her? Why can't she just tell us?" Tori asked and Cat shook her head, she didn't know what else to say.
"You don't get it" Cat affirmed. "Guys, I think you should go before she comes back, I won't tell her you came"
"But Cat" Robbie insisted.
"Please go and don't tell anyone that you saw her with that man, please!" Cat said seriously and they looked at each other sadly.
"Fine"
A few days after that the gang went to Jade's apartment again but this time she was there. They wanted to talk to her about what they'd seen but Cat had asked them not to mention it because she knew Jade wouldn't take it well so they didn't say anything.
Beck got extremely angry every time he thought about Jade having a relationship because even though they'd broken up long ago, he still loved her and he didn't want her to be with anyone else but he also refused to tell her that.
"Your apartment is so big, a whole family could live here" Tori commented nicely as she walked all around.
"I know" Jade said.
"Hey, what's in this door?" Tori asked and opened it but Jade immediately closed it.
"Things, private things" Jade informed coldly. "Don't open it again"
"Okay, okay… relax" Tori said awkwardly.
"Why can't we see what's in there?" Beck asked confused.
"Because it's my house and I say so, do you need any other reason?" Jade responded and went back to the kitchen but then her phone rang.
It was on the table of the living room so Beck picked it up and Jade immediately screamed at him. "DON'T!" She ordered as she rushed over to where he was and he simply handed her the phone but he could see the person calling was a contact she'd saved as 'Work'.
"Hello" Jade said and started walking away from them. "Yes—what time?-Alright, I'll be there-Yes, sir-bye" She hung up and they all stared at her weirdly. "What?"
"Why did you get so crazy when Beck grabbed your phone?" Robbie questioned confused.
"No, I didn't…I just didn't want him to answer for me" Jade responded. "Anyway, I have to go so you guys should go now"
"Go where?" Tori asked.
"Work" Jade responded.
"Work? It's past 9PM, Jade" Andre commented.
"My work has no timing, please go" Jade ordered and they looked at each other.
"Alright, I'll drive you guys home" Beck informed.
"Jade, can I go with you?" Cat asked Jade trying to be discreet but they all heard anyway.
"No, Cat, I don't need you tonight and you won't like it there" Jade said but then she realized her friends were still listening. "You'll get bored so go home"
"I wanna go, please" Cat insisted and Jade sighed, she didn't want to talk too much so she agreed and only Beck, Tori, Andre and Robbie left.
"What is she hiding?" Tori asked while the elevator went down.
"I don't know but the doubt is killing me" Beck confessed.
"I have an idea" Robbie said and they turned to him. "She is going to work tonight, isn't she? Let's go see where she works"
"Do you mean we should follow her?" Tori asked and he nodded. They all thought about it but as soon as the elevator opened they walked out knowing what to do.
"Let's find out then"
What is Jade hiding? Mmmhmm...
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, there's more to come!
