Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious or "Missing" by Evanescence. This is my first fanfic in years so bare with me. Also on a side note, last weekend's episode of Victorious was hilarious. Jade being a monster and Cat's retelling had me cracking up. Now on with the story.

Please, please forgive me, but I won't be home again...

You won't cry for my absence, I know...Isn't something missing?

Jade leaned heavily against Beck's truck smoking a cigarette. A sign escape her lips as her mind betrays her and she once again thinks about little miss sunshine. Jade was never really friends with Tori Vega but for the past six months she wish she was still here. It seem that with her disappearance, that the sun didn't shine anymore. Sure her friends tried to move on like the good little actors that they are but every day without her reappearance or even a body took its toll on the group. Robbie rarely spoke anymore and almost every word out of Rex's mouth was an insult. Poor Cat had within drawn into herself and cried herself to sleep every night. Jade just knew that she was skipping her meds every now and then just to not feel that pain. Beck tried to be the rock of the group but it was just too hard. His performances went from fantastic to just OK and his hair, god, his hair just didn't have its glow anymore. Andre blamed himself, he was the reason why she came to Hollywood Arts. He was the person who always pushed her to be in the spotlight, to make her shine. And the Vegas, they were a rack. Mr. Vega searches night and day for his beloved absentee daughter. Mrs. Vega tries to keep the family together, to keep the hope alive but was slowly losing steam. And Trina, they all thought that she was a selfish bitch, boy were they wrong. When Tori first didn't come home that night after "Prome" , Trina and Cat drove all over LA looking for her. She blames herself as well for not waiting for Tori but since she didn't win Prome Queen, she was just so upset she had beat up Sinjin then made him drive her home. She barely eats and waits up til her father comes home hoping for some good news. Even Sikowitz was hit hard, he was the last person to ever see her and feels that he failed her as a teacher and a friend. Hell, she was starting to lose hope on the girl being alive. Tori was slowly working her way up from being gum on the underside of her boot to an acquaintance until she decided to do that whole "Prome" shit and have her play booted out the door. Her anger had long gone out and was replaced with deep concern and regret. They could have been such good friends but Jade was a jealous person and everyone loved their new toy. Her thoughts were interpreted as Beck and Cat exited the school. The brunette formerly know as the air-headed redhead calmly walked over no longer skipping to and fro. When asked why she changed her hair, Cat replied that red velvet cupcakes didn't make her happy anymore.

Please, please forgive me, but I won't be home again.

I know what you do to yourself, I breathe deep and cry out,

"Isn't something missing? Isn't someone missing me?"

"Hey Babe" Beck spoke before her kissed her softy.

"Hi Jade" Cat voiced solemnly. Nodding back she dropped her finished cigarette and hopped in the front seat. Cat looked at her then Beck and climbed in the back as he made his way around the truck.

"So I was thinking that maybe we should go to Karaoke Dokie this weekend." Beck expressed as he drove away from school. Jade looked in the rear-view mirror as Cat expression changed to one of joy.

"Yea that sounds like a good idea." Jade replied as she tried to think of the last time they had fun and hanged out.

"Maybe some baby golf beforehand for the little hellion in the backseat." Jade added as she turned slightly to stared at the adorable pout now stretched across Cat's face.

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!" Cat shouted back at her. Jade and Beck just laughed as it seem that a little of the old Cat surfaced.

And if I bleed, I'll bleed, knowing you don't care.

And if I sleep just to dream of you, I'll wake without you there.

Isn't something missing? Isn't something...
