A/N: I would just like to start by saying that this is my first stab at a Jori fic, so please be nice.
Beck was just listening to some music on his bed, when suddenly the door to his RV burst open. He didn't even have to look up to know it was Jade. He slowly removed his earbuds and sat up to face her. " Well, hello to you too Jade. Are you having a nice day so far?" " Oh just shut the fuck up!", she yelled, while heading over to the dartboard on the far wall of his trailer home. He wanted to ask her what she was up to, but it quickly became clear, as she fished a picture of Tori out of her shoulder bag and pinned it to the bull's-eye. Beck got up and walked up to her." Jade don't.", he warned, holding his finger up at her threateningly. It was too late though, as she'd already started throwing darts at the now punctured piece of paper. Beck sighed and shook his head. " You'll never learn, will you?" " Learn what? How to throw darts at Vega's stupid head?! I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far! Gah, I fucking hate her!" He rolled his eyes at his girlfriend's supposed grudge against Tori. He knew it was only fake, as he'd seen her be nice to the Latina. And even though Jade would never admit it, he truly believed that deep down, Jade considered Tori a close friend.
He tentatively put a hand on Jade's shoulder and asked: " Is this still about Sikowitz' silly play?" " Yes, it certainly is! I was supposed to get the lead in that play, but what does that butthead of a teacher do? He gives it to little miss perfect! I mean, she doesn't even know what an understudy is, for gods 'sake!" Beck winced and put his hands over his ears at the deafening outburst. He should've never come that close to her. " Jade, calm down, ple…" " And then, she nearly faints and I still don't get to replace her! Nooo, the Siko solves it by unconvincingly dressing up as a woman, thereby completely ruining everything!" Beck massaged his temples and shut his eyes tightly. Why did she have to be like this? She could be so sweet and funny sometimes. But then, whenever something happened between her and Tori, she went into maniac mode and yelled as if her life depended on it. " Okay Jade, I think I'm gonna go out for a little walk, cause being around you is getting a bit too much for me at the moment. In the meantime, try not to wreck my stuff too bad, kay?", he said, giving her a slight smile. She just chuckled. " Oh don't worry, the only thing I'll wreck is Vega's dumb smile." He sighed deeply once again, before leaving and shutting the door carelessly behind him.
He walked over to his car swiftly, all the while whistling his favorite tune. He was just about to open the door, when he heard a voice from behind him. " Hey Beck." He turned around to see Tori standing in the driveway. He immediately grew nervous, cause even though she couldn't express anger very well, he could tell she was more than a little frustrated right now. " Hey Tor, what's up?" " Well I was just wondering if you'd seen Jade." He sighed inwardly. It was never a good sign when Tori was looking for Jade with that kind of an expression in her eyes. It almost certainly meant a new round of bickering. Still he knew Tori wasn't gonna leave without the satisfaction of confronting the Goth, so he replied: " She's inside my trailer." " Thanks.", she said, right before making her way over to the vehicle. Beck shook his head again, why did they always have to fight? Why couldn't they just get along? He leaned back against his car and his gaze wandered over to his RV. Suddenly an idea popped up into his head. He displayed a sly grin as he got into his Plymouth, and prepared to put his plan into motion.
Tori hesitantly opened the door to reveal Jade still anxiously aiming darts at her head. Tori's mood evolved from angry to scared for a minute: cause who knew what other things Jade would do with sharp, pointy objects? She stood in the doorway for a few seconds, thinking of backing out. Then she pulled herself together and cleared her throat. That little action proved to be effective, as Jade slowly turned around, a smug smirk plastered on her face. " Oh it's you Vega. Why, what on earth brings you here?", Jade asked in a fake-friendly tone. " Don't play dumb with me Jade, I know what you did." " Oh, so you know about my little handiwork right here? Well, what do you make of it then, isn't it a masterpiece?", she asked, gesturing towards the photograph. Tori just gawked at the messed-up picture for a while, unable to formulate words. " You have serious issues.", she finally brought out. Jade just sent her a smile and then started batting her eyelashes. " Issues? why who, me? I don't have issues, I'm the perfect, flawless Tori Vega.", she said, mocking Tori with a Southern Belle accent. " I have shiny brown hair and a bright white smi…" She pretended to be shocked as she gaped at Tori's picture. "Oh no, what on earth happened to my teeth? They got holes in 'm now." Tori sighed and rolled her eyes in annoyance. " Okay, you've had your fun. But just so you know, you haven't ruined me by ruining that photo." Jade's smirk never left her face. " Well, I'll bravely keep on searching for ways to do just that Vega, don't worry."
Tori suddenly started stalking towards Jade, until she was mere inches away from her. " Well you won't succeed, West!" The Goth wasn't intimidated in the least as she stared her frenemy right in the eye. Deep brown eyes were tightly focusing on cool blue-green ones and that's when a very unwanted thought popped up in Jade's head. Wow, Tori actually looks kinda hot when she's mad. She was quick to discard that contemplation though. What the fuck was her stupid mind doing? Tori was just an irritating goody two shoes, she was in no way sexy. She was distracted from her thoughts, when the Latina opened her mouth again. " I'm here, because I know what you did to my blood.", she said, now slightly more composed. Jade's eyes widened. " Who told you that?!" " Cat." " Oh, well I guess she'll be getting a visit from Mr. Scissors then." " If you hurt her, I f… flinging swear I'll hurt you!", Tori shouted, being around Jade had a very negative effect on her. She'd almost cursed, for Pete's sake. " You got nothing on me Vega. You can't even say fucking without turning red!" " Speaking of the color red, why did you hide the pint of blood?" " Because I wanted your part, duh. you're turning into a ditz Vega. You've been hanging around Cat too much." " Oh you wanted the part? So it's okay for me to faint from blood loss cause you wanted the part? So, It would've been okay for Robbie to die if you had only gotten your precious lead in an insignificant school play?" Tori stared at her for a minute, then turned away. " You know I always knew you didn't care about me, but I'd at least expected you to give two shits about Robbie! He's such a nice guy and someone you've known for years! Why would you take such a risk?! You knew he was weak and needed blood right away, yet you still ran off with that pint!"
It took the Goth quite a long time to come up with a good comeback. Now she really thought about it, she actually started feeling a little bad. She'd been so focused on gaining the role, that she'd never even considered the consequences it would have on Robbie. Tori flipped back around to face her again. " You know, sometimes you really are the most selfish gank, Jade." And in that moment, Jade truly hated her. She hated her, because Tori'd just pointed out the actual truth. It was true: she was a selfish bitch. Her friend could've died and Tori could've been more damaged too. She was glad she'd only fainted, not that she'd ever tell her that of course. With that realization fresh in mind, she did something very uncharacteristic in Jade-terms: she apologized. " Look Vega, I… I'm sorry. It was never my intention to kill Shapiro." Tori stared at her, not believing her ears. Hearing the West girl apologize to her, was like watching a godly miracle take place. She'd always found Jade a beautiful girl, but it was in these moments, when she was truly nice, that she was truly breathtaking. Tori swallowed hard, while she did everything in her power to ban that thought from her mind. This was Jade West after all.
She was about to say something, when both girls were startled by the roaring sound of an engine, right in front of the door. " What the…", Tori brought out, as she watched Jade storming over to the entrance of the caravan. " Beck, what the hell is going on back there?!", she all but screamed. There was a short pause, before the engine turned back off and a male voice filtered through the air. " I'm locking you up with Tori, have fun!" " You're what?!", the two girls screamed simultaneously. " I'm locking you two up together, so you can sort out your differences and become friends!" "" We sorted out our differences already!", Jade shouted. " Are you friends?" Jade gave the Vega girl a disgusted look and yelled: " Hell no!" " Then you can't come out, see you later guys. I'm going squashing with Robbie!" " Wait Beck, you can't…" Jade stuttered, but her words received no response. She stood by the door for a while, taking the time to let her boyfriend's words sink in. She was going to be stuck here with Vega and that stupid retard was going out for god knows how long. " Shit!", she exclaimed, kicking Beck's green bean bag chair.
Meanwhile, Tori had slumped down on beck's bed. " So, I guess it's gonna be just the two of us then." Jade looked back at her and rolled her eyes. " Wow Vega, I really hadn't figured that out yet." " Why are you being like this again?", Tori asked her, while studying the azure blue ring on her finger. She smiled briefly, when she noticed how the piece of jewelry reminded her of Jade's eyes. Jade did have the most unique eyes, you could never really tell what was hidden behind them. Jade's orbs fascinated her beyond belief. She'd paid special attention to them ever since her second day at Hollywood Arts. She'd never forget that piercing look in her green-blue spheres when she'd kissed Beck. At the time, it had felt as though Jade could see right inside her soul. The Goth's gaze had penetrated her very being and from that moment on, she always made sure to pay special attention to Jade's magnificent pair of sea-colored globes.
She was interrupted from her musings, when Jade answered her question. " What do you mean? I'm always like this." Tori gave her a hard stare. " You weren't like this a minute ago, Jade! God, why do you always change like the wind?!" Jade winced, damn Vega really had to stop her ridiculously high-pitched screaming. What had gotten into her anyway? In three quick strides, Jade had made it to the bed. She bent over, so she was right in Vega's face. That would get the message across. Her withering glare always had the desired effect on Tori. She was a little wimp after all. " In case you hadn't noticed: we. are. stuck. together!" Tori shrugged: " I know that, so let's make the best out of it. I mean, there's no direct need right now to get each other's feathers in a ruffle..." Jade thought about that for a second and then came to the conclusion that Tori was right. There wasn't a single reason to start bickering again. The only problem was: what the heck was she supposed to do with Tori, if they couldn't have a nice argument? " So, what are we gonna do then?", she asked the perky brunette out of true curiosity. " Well, we could just, you know…maybe…talk.", Tori brought out carefully. Jade chuckled. Tori was always at her guard when she said something to her, and it pleased her like you wouldn't believe. " No need to be scared Vega, I haven't got my scissors with me now." Tori glared at her. " I'm serious Jade, we could just try to have a normal conversation. I don't think we've had many of them so far." Jade sighed deeply, then flopped down on the bed next to the Latina. " Fine, we could try that, I guess."
For a fairly long time, neither girl uttered a word. Speaking to eachother in a natural way, proved to be very difficult indeed. They just sat there, keeping their gaze firmly fixed on the opposite wall, till finally, Tori broke the silence. " You know, I felt really sad when you did that." " What?", Jade asked, turning to look at the Latina. " Hiding the bag of blood, it really confirmed once again, that you don't care about me." Suddenly the Goth was struck by an overwhelming sense of pity and guilt. Things she rarely felt with people other than Beck. She couldn't quite explain it, but there was something in Tori's eyes and gloomy tone that sparked up a strong feeling of shame. " I do care about you, Vega." There appeared a glimmer of hope in Tori's eyes, as she asked: " You do?" Jade suddenly felt awkward. She was having a sweet moment with Vega. Those were really rare and whenever they happened, she always felt incredibly uncomfortable. So to make herself slightly more at ease, she solved it the Jade-way. " Yeah Vega, you took over the ninth place from Sinjin in my caring-top 10." " Oh.", Tori muttered, clearly disappointed. Jade took in the Latina's features and realized she'd made a mistake. Tori looked even more upset than before, and Jade found it strangely awful. Why the fuck did she care so much about Vega all of a sudden? Why was she suddenly overcome with a strong desire to take the smaller girl into her arms and comfort her? This wasn't good, so Jade tried something else, something which again, was not very Jade-like. " Stop looking so depressed Vega, or would you perhaps like a visit from the tickle-bunny?" Tori's eyes went wide. Who was this girl and what had she done to the real Jade West? " Huh, what Jade, tickleb…" She was cut off, when the Goth's fingers suddenly began a feverish assault on her sides. " Oh. no. Jade. stop.", Tori panted, between sets of giggles. Jade was actually producing a certain type of laughter as well, but then her fingers brushed the Latina's stomach and something changed.
The minute the tips of her digits came into contact with smooth, warm skin, she felt a surge of electricity course through her body. Jade abruptly stopped her ministrations and removed her hands. Oddly enough, Tori's amusement hadn't died down and she continued giggling. That was when Jade noticed something else: she loved the sound of Tori giggling. There was something so incredibly cute about her, when she bubbled with laughter. She almost reached out to touch her once more, but then she regained her senses. This was Tori Vega! She had never liked her in the past, and she sure as hell hadn't suddenly started taking a liking to her now. And cute, what kind of a word was that anyway? It wasn't a word that Jade used. In fact the word cute and other sweet-sounding words, should be brutally massacred and thrown six feet under, never to be seen again. If it were up to Jade, all words associated with Tori Vega had long been gone and were now rotting in the dirty soil. Rotting till all that remained of them was ashes. Then her gaze wandered back to the brunette and she forgot all about her contemplations about cute-sounding words. She just looked so captivating: gorgeous brown eyes sparkling with joy, mouth wide open revealing her exquisite white teeth, the amazing sounds of glee erupting from her throat… She was seeing her former enemy in a new light and it literally scared the shit out of her.
" Vega, stop laughing!", she commanded in a harsh voice. Tori slowly sat back up. " Huh, why?", she breathed. " Because, it's annoying as fuck." Then the Latina got this seductive smile on her face, as she said: " You'll just have to make me stop." " Alright Vega, you asked for it." Jade had wanted that last sentence to sound threatening, but it came out huskily instead. She was lost in coffee brown orbs and the next thing she did was bring her hand up to Tori's cheek. She was about to give in to the sweet temptation of kissing the girl, but in the last minute she remembered just exactly who it was sitting next to her. She was boss and she was gonna show Vega just that. The following second, there was the sound of a loud smack, as the hand previously resting on the Latina's cheek, had now lashed out at her. Tori tried to supress a sob, as she felt the stinging pain surge through her jaw. She couldn't believe Jade would actually do something like this, and she sat there, dazed. Jade took in the shocked expression on her face and was instantly overcome with guilt. The girl looked utterly broken as she trembled, a lone tear tracing a path over her scarlet red cheek. Jade stretched out her hand again, and the other girl flinched immediately. " I'm not gonna hurt you.", Jade said, in a voice she didn't recognize as her own. Tori just continued to stare at her, the look of fear never leaving her eyes. " Just trust me, Tori.", the Goth whispered, before wiping the tear away and claiming the Latina's lips in an all-consuming kiss. Tori was stunned as Jade's mouth clamped over hers in a sweet, tender way. She never could've imagined in a million years that she would do this. She couldn't deny how good it felt though. Her lips were like two soft, silken pillows and the kiss brought on a feeling she'd never experienced before. She was so incredibly overwhelmed, that she couldn't keep herself from kissing back with an equal amount of passion, while stroking her fingers lovingly through Jade's thick locks.
Jade shivered, as Tori let out a soft moan against her lips. This kissing Tori-thing was like a whole new high and Jade couldn't get enough of the drug that was Tori Vega. It wasn't long before the Latina started taunting the Goth's bottom-lip with her tongue and the girl let out a gasp. Then however, the brunette made a vital mistake, as she uttered Jade's name against her lips, immediately snapping the Goth out of her longing-fueled daze. Tori was about to deepen the kiss, when Jade suddenly pushed her away roughly. She landed right against the headboard and it hurt like a motherfucker. It was like the thud had gotten her mind functioning again, as she suddenly wondered why Jade had kissed her. " Jade, why did you, what did you…" " Shut up Vega!", Jade shouted angrily, tears brimming in her eyes. " Don't tell me what to do, Jade. We need to talk about this." Tori reached out to erase her tears, but Jade flinched away from her. " Don't you dare touch me! Leave me the fuck alone!", she yelled, as she stomped over to the door. " Jade, jade, please." Damn there was that pleading tone of hers again, Jade thought. That sexy, desirable pleading tone. Why the fuck did she find Tori so freaking attractive all of a sudden? She only knew one thing: this wasn't right, they were supposed to hate each other. That's how'd it had always been and how it'll always be. So without another word, she pushed the door open and stormed out, leaving a broken and confused girl crumpled on the bed.
On her way out, she bumped into Beck. He smiled at her and said:" You lucked out Jade, I only just removed my car from there, otherwise you'd still be trapped with Tori now." He winked and leaned in for a kiss, but she turned her face away from him. " Not right now, Beck." He was mildly taken aback, but thought nothing more of it. " So, are you and Tori finally friends?" " Shut up, just shut the fuck up and get out of my way!", she shouted, pushing him out of the way and leaving behind a stunned, shocked Beck.
A/N: So, did I do okay? I hope so. If anyone wants me to continue this, just let me know by leaving a review after the beep. BEEP…
