I was going to make this happy but I liked the way it ended. If it gets a good response, however, I will update a new chapter/a version with a happy ending
Cat hadn't expected it. She had been sitting on her bed, watching some cop show Tori had shown her, mimicking gun sounds. Her lights were off and there were bad guys going all the through the police department on screen and somebody knocked on her window. Cat froze. Only Tori ever comes over and she always uses the door and warns Cat first. Fear runs the redhead, before she catches a glimpse of highlights. She remembers a time when someone with highlights used to sneak into her room. But her room was on the second floor then and that was before Beck.
Cat had been lying on her bed, waiting for Jade. Jade had been her best friend in pre-school and had just been reunited a week ago at their first day at Hollywood Arts. Cat is beginning to doze off when she hears a metallic sound and then a thud over by her window. She opens her eyes to see a smiling Jade. (She was a brunette then, without highlights and with more smiles) A scream tears itself out of Cat's throat before she realizes it came from her. Jade's face drops and she crosses the small room in two strides and gathers the tiny girl in her arms. After Cat calms down, Jade strips down to a tank top and her underwear and climbs under the covers. She holds Cat and watches some stupid Dingo channel show until Cat falls asleep. This becomes a weekly thing. Jade slips in every Saturday and they either watch TV or a movie or talk. They do whatever they feel like, but Cat always falls asleep in Jade's long, secure arms. One Saturday, they're talking and lying really close and Jade's telling a story when Cat loses it. She leans in and kisses Jade like she's wanted to since the first time Jade climbed into her window. Cat pulls back just when she feels Jade's lips respond. Cat scoots back, assessing the damage. Had it been two years forward, Jade would've screamed and stormed out. Instead, her eyes were closed and face was scrunched together in confusion. Finally, Jade wordlessly got up. Cat screamed, lurching forward to catch Jade's wrist in her small hand. "Don't leave." She whispered. Jade gives her a look. Not a rude look, but a look that clearly mirrors the confusion her brain is feeling and the pain her heart is in. Pale fingers peel tan ones away and Jade just shuts the lights out. Cat lays back down, heart calming, and soon she feels the bed dip and Jade's skin brush hers. When she receives no cuddles, Cat turns away from Jade. When she's on the verge of sleep, she feels Jade pull her back to where Jade's front is against her back. The last thing she hears is a soft whisper. "I'll never leave."
The next week, Jade came just liked usual. They watched reruns of All My Children until Cat's eyelids got heavy. When Jade noticed, she stood up turning off the TV and the lights. Cat settled below the covers and as soon as Jade joined her, Jade pulled Cat to her, front to front, unlike their usual spoon. Cat's breath caught in her throat as she saw Jade's blazing gem-like eyes. "Jade?" But the end of the girl's name was muffled as Jade swiftly pressed her lips to Cat's. Soon the pale girl's shirt was shred followed by Cat's and Cat didn't know how she got there or what had happened, but Jade was rocking into Cat and making sexy noises and her beautiful face is twisted in pleasure, illuminated by the cheap light of Cat's nightlight. Cat's feeling things that she's never felt before and God, she loves Jade.
"Cat! Goddammit! Let me in; I'm about to fall!" Cat's brought out of her thoughts and she's wiping away a tear and stumbling to the window. She slides the window open and Jade is holding herself up the window seal. Cat stumbles back and Jade strains to pull herself up. Jade swings her legs, scowling. Her face softened when she saw Cat's face. "What's wrong?" She said, reaching for Cat. For a split second, she saw the Jade she used to know. Before Beck. Cat flinches at her touch and the Jade of now is back in place. Jade crashes onto the bed, pulling her combat boots off. "What are you doing here?" Cat's voice was quiet, but hard and biting as she wanted it to be. Jade looks up, impressed and under it, Cat sees surprise. "It's Saturday." Jade says, casually as if that answers everything. "So?" Cat snaps. Jade raises an eyebrow. "Wha-"
"Don't!" Cat says and it's only the fifth time she's every raised her voice in anger in her life, the first time at Jade. "You don't get to do this!" Jade pushed herself up, pushed to anger herself. "Do what? What am I fucking doing!"
"You don't get to come her and make me feel so loved and then get a boyfriend the next day!" That remark shocks them both into silence. Cat's never admitted what she felt that night, not even to herself.
They stare each other down until Jade finally composes herself a little. In a weak voice she says, "I have a boyfriend."
"But you're here with me, not with him." Cat says in a calm, steady voice that doesn't mirror how she's feeling at all. Jade storms past her after hearing that. But the door doesn't slam, it just closes quietly and she knows that Jade's heart is broke just as much as her own.
