Boring disclaimer thing: I do not legally own Victorious, but if you believe in the fake "ownership in your heart" crap, then yes I do.

Jade's POV

There she was. Tori just casually jumped into my passenger seat as if there were no consequences to what she did. I should punch her. What business is it of her's anyway. Why does she care? Is it because I helped Cat when she chased her down the hall? What idiot leaves their phone on the ground anyway. Like I said before, she deserved it.

"Why are you in my car? Get out." I said, relatively calmly.

"I want to know why you two are friends? What do you get out of it? It has to be something. And how come you were in a toy store?" The questions poured out of this girl like a waterfall.

"Like I just told you. It's none of your business. Get out now. I have ice cream in the back and I don't want it to melt." I told her. She sat there, unmoving.

"No. I'm not leaving you alone until you answer me." her persistence was admirable, but it was annoying at the same time. Fine by me.

"Okay then." I started the car and took off. "You can help me unload my car and put everything away." I focused on getting home as she kept up her questioning. I think she said something about not helping me, but I wasn't really sure because I was ignoring her as much as possible. It only took ten minutes to get from the store to my house. I parked in the driveway and got out, grabbing some bags from the back.

"I'm not helping you." she said.

"If you want me to answer your question you will." I had no intention of actually telling her. I just didn't want to do this myself.

"Fine, fine." She got out unenthusiastically and grabbed some bags and walked up to my house.

I unlocked the door and opened it. It was quiet, so no one was home. I went over to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, freezer, and the cabinets. I took the ice cream out of the bag and put it away first. I then ran back out to the car to get more. I didn't want to leave Tori unattended in my house, being naturally untrusting, but she was harmless.

I grabbed as much as I could and ran back in. In the kitchen she was innocently putting away the food. I put my bags down and started to put what was there away. I started with whatever could be frozen.

"There's a little more in my car. Go get it." I commanded.

"Yeah, sure..." She trudged off. I continued to put things away. I was almost done by the time she came back. She put away what little she had left. When finished Tori turned to me and smiled. "I think I know your secret now." she said with a smug look of satisfaction on her face.

"What do you think it is then?" I asked, knowing she didn't know.

"You don't eat bright colored fruity cereal, right?"

I rolled my eyes. "No I don't."

"Well I know for a fact that Cat loves Fruity Pebbles and you got three boxes. I'm going to say they are for when she stays over, and the reason she stays over is because you and her are in love." she truthfully shocked me with that one. I shake it off and stare at her.

"Are you a full blown idiot!" I look at her like she completely retarded for even suggesting something like that. (A/N: If you can't imagine it look at my profile picture) It almost makes me want to tell her. "I didn't think you were such a..." the front door opens and I hear a voice, at the worst possible time.

"Jade! I'm home!" It was Cat. "I'm sorry I didn't help you bring everything it but I was hanging out with André..." she trailed off as she walked into the kitchen, seeing Tori.

Cat's POV

When I entered the kitchen I was surprised. Tori was there and usually the only person who ever came over was Beck. Earlier, André told me she was wondering why me and Jade were friends. I considered telling her because I was pretty sure she wouldn't run off, and we were already friends so it shouldn't matter.

"Hey, Tori." I ran over to the counter and was going to talk, but I remembered it was shopping day. I turned to Jade. "Did you get them?"

"Yeah. Here they are. You know they're expensive, right?" she said as she handed me my crayons and colored pencils.

"I know. Thank you." I was happy.

"Okay. I have a lot of questions, but I'll start with a simple one. Why did you have to go to a toy store to get crayons and colored pencils? They sell them for a dollar at the grocery store." Tori asked.

"That's the only store that carries that particular brand." Jade answered plainly.

"And why do you need that particular brand?" she asked.

"Because it's the only brand that has velvet red as a color and it's Cat's favorite color, as you should know." Jade said kind of condescendingly.

"But can't you just use red? They're pretty much the same." Tori said, looking a little confused.

"No, they are totally different! Red is just boring red while velvet red is so pretty and exciting." I explained to her. I thought it was obvious.

"Okay then... How come you two live together?" This kind of felt like an interrogation like in the crime shows.

"Well the reason is..." I started.

"Cat is my younger sister. Happy?" Jade interrupted me. I looked at her. "What? You were going to tell her anyway."

"Wait, what? You two are the same age and have different last names, and look too different."

"I'm actually three months younger." I informed her.

"Explain this." Tori ordered.

"I'm not someone you can order around. If Cat wants to explain it she can. I, however am going to lay down." Jade went up stairs, probably to her room.

"So?" Tori was waiting.

"Well Jade's dad cheated on her mom with my mom. When she found out they got divorced. Her mom knew that mine was pregnant and they sort of became friends."

"Wait a minute. Jade's mother became friends with the woman her husband was cheating on her with?" Tori looked skeptical.

"Don't interrupt. I said they were sort of friends. They didn't really hang out like real friends. They just wanted their kids to have a friend. I remember my mom telling me that me and Jade were technically sisters when I was four. I was really happy because being an only child was boring."

"I thought you said you had a brother?"

"I told you not to interrupt. If you do it again I won't finish. I do have a brother, well Jade does, so that mean I do too. Now let me continue. My mom drank a lot. When I was seven she was too drunk to take care of me and she got arrested for child neglect. Before I was put in a foster home Jade's mom adopted me and I started living here. The end." I was glad I finished before Tori interrupted me again.

"You didn't explain why you kept it a secret? And why does Jade go shopping? Shouldn't your mom do that?"

"She travels a lot for work, so she puts lots of money into a bank account so we can get food and stuff. I like when she's gone anyway. She's a horrible cook." I really didn't like her cooking. It tasted really bad.

"So why keep this thing a secret?" Tori asked.

"Is this the last question?"

"Yes. I promise."

"Okay then. When we were younger, before Hollywood Arts, everyone knew we were sisters. Jade was the same back then as she is now, so everyone was afraid to be friends with me. When we got into Hollywood Arts Jade told me to keep this a secret. This way I could make friends without them being scared." I explained, happy to be done.

"Jade is scary."

"I don't think so. She's nice, to me that is." I said. "I'm sorry Jade took your stuff and replaced it with breakaway furniture. It was funny though."

"Well it's all at the dump now. Do you want to help me get it?" she obviously didn't like that I thought it was funny.

"I have homework to do. Sorry." I apologized.

"Fine. I'll get it myself." she sighed as she walked away. "See you later."

Jade's POV

I looked out my window and saw Tori leaving. I stay there, watching as she realizes that she has to walk back to the toy store to get her car. I see her throw a mini hissy fit and walk off. I got back on my bed and began to relax when my door opened. Cat came in.

"So how did it go?" I asked.

"Pretty well. Does it have to stay a secret anymore?" Cat asked.

"Not really. You have tons of friends and they'll probably know by tomorrow anyway, due to Tori's big mouth." I sat up and looked at her. "I could threaten her to stay quiet if you want?" I offered.

"Don't. If she tells she tells." Cat stood there for a few moments. "Are you making anything tonight?" she asked.

"Not really." I wasn't feeling up to cooking today.

"Than can I just have a bowl of Fruity Pebbles?"

"Sure, but just one. Those things are overpriced and they come in small boxes." I told her.

"Kay. Thanks." Cat skipped out and probably the entire way down stairs. That girl gets excited over the smallest things.

So there it is. I have decided that I'm not going to do a follow up chapter. My reasons? I used up everything I had for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed this, my first multi chapter story, and like I promised in chapter one, I am working on a Cade romance so if you're into that sort of thing it will be up relatively soon. Before I forget, it would be super awesome of you readers to review and tell me what you think.
