I know on regular decks you have different headphone inputs so you can listen to the song on the 2nd deck while the first one is playing in order to mix it right. well I only have a laptop and I was wondering what I would need in order to listen to the second track while the first one is playing

To be able to pre-listen to music using headphones, you will either need two sound cards or a sound card with multiple outputs, such as a 5.1 surround sound card or preferably a dedicated DJ sound card (E.g: Numark DJIO or Native Instruments Audio 2 DJ.)
With a laptop, you can add a USB stick sound card that will provide you with the additional output that you need.
Alternatively, you can use a single sound card and the mono split option in VirtualDJ's sound setup, however this will only give you MONO sound. You will need a splitter cable to split the left/right channels - Please search Google for: 3.5 jack splitter to mono
Once you have suitable sound card(s), you will then need to go into VirtualDJ CONFIG -> Sound Settings and choose Outputs: Headphones and select the appropriate sound card(s).
NOTE: In Home FREE, sound card options are limited. To be able to headphone pre-listen, you will either need a 5.1 card built into your computer, a basic external USB 'stick' sound card or use the MONO split option. For more advanced sound configuration, such as two separate cards or a multi-channel external DJ sound card, you will need to purchase either VirtualDJ Basic or VirtualDJ Professional: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/comparison.html
To choose which deck to pre-listen to, press the TAB key or click PFL button on the skin. Use the crossfader and/or volume sliders to control which deck is output live over the master outputs.
