... you're okay?" "Yeah, Jade… I'm fine. Really." Tori Vega looked over what had been, for the last month or two, her home. A small desk. A fridge. A tiny sink. And then there was the bed. So many memories had been made on and in that bed, she thought, looking back up at Jade. Her best friend hadn't kicked her out or anything, but after talking to Jade and Freddie last night, Tori didn't feel like she had much of a choice. They had essentially broken up with her, without actually doing any breaking. Neither one seemed mad or upset at her, and they were nice and kind… but it didn't stop their words from hurting. For years, Tori had spent her time looking for the perfect guy, and now that she had found him, he had to sit in front of her, and look her in the eyes and say words that absolutely crushed her. 'I can't love you' played over and over in her mind, and while there were some other words mixed in there that softened the blow, those four were the ones she could never forget. Even when she went to bed, crying into her pillow, they echoed in her mind still. Then there was Jade, who had been there for her when no one else was. Who held her when things were bad, and who she had held with Jade and Freddie would have arguments. Her best friend, without question. And there she sat, holding Freddie's hand, each second of their contact, pushing a knife deeper and deeper in her stomach, as she spoke.

She gave all of herself to Freddie and Jade here, and surrendered her very essence to the man she truly wanted to make her own. And after all that, he wanted… or they wanted… to just call it quits? Not like this, her brain screamed. Jade opened her arms out to give Tori a hug before she left for home, where she would be staying indefinitely, but the singer just brushed past her and headed into the hallway. And there he was. Freddie was propped next to the door, ready to offer a hand to carry anything for Tori, but her bl**dshot eyes sent a pained message to the former tech producer. Not of hate, like he'd seen with Sam a time or ten, but with absolute despair and pain. He tried to speak, but she just shook her head and hurried off down the hallway. Freddie wanted to follow her, but a look from his girlfriend told him it was no use. He joined her inside the dorm room, and the two sat on the bed, where the three of them had felt at peace, and just held each other. The elevator took forever to get Tori to her floor, but once she was on the ground level, she just bolted to where Trina had parked. And of course, Trina wasn't there. The thin Latina rarely cursed but in this moment, alone at her s*ster's car, where the night air was a bit too strong, she couldn't help herself from screaming. "Fuck!" * * ...
