Based off of my stories "tough people need comfort too" and "fixing what's broken."
I wanted to write about Tori being comforted by Jade instead of the other way around.
Jori friendship
Jade? I... I need you
Those few simple words made Jade turn from being edgy and uncaring to a total softie. Tori and Jade didn't used to get along, that is, until they figured out how similar they actually were. Those words, those four words, that's all it took. Jade was going to be there for Tori, even if she had to stop acting so tough.
"Jade, can I... come over? I really need to be with someone."
Jade wanted to help, but Tori wasn't aware of her dad doing... things... painful things. But she also couldn't leave her alone in a time of need.
"Sure, Tor, whatever you'd like."
Jade smiled slightly. Although she never truly hated Tori, they weren't exactly 'friends' before. And now, they can do things like this. Oh how things have changed...
10 minutes later...
Jade's head perked up at the sound the door being knocked on. Luckily for both of them, Jade's dad wasn't home. She opened the door for her friend, only to be greeted by a tight embrace.
Tori tucked her head under Jade's chin and Jade hesitated, but still obliged and held her close.
"Tori, are you...?" Jade paused when she heard quiet sobs. So instead of continuing her question, she pulled Tori slightly closer, resting her chin on top of her head. "You're okay," she softly reminded. Jade then slowly started to run her fingers through Tori's hair.
Tori didn't want to get it of this safe place they have created, but stepped out of the embrace anyway.
Jade gave her a light kiss on the forehead when she l let go.
"I'm... I'm sorry...," Tori whispered under her breath.
Jade shook her head and grabbed Tori's hand. "Come on, let's go to my room."
Tori complied and followed after her.
When they got there, Jade pointed to her bed, wanting Tori to sit.
Tori obeyed.
Jade then sat down next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tori looked away. "My parents...had a fight...I just didn't want to be there..."
Jade sighed. She understood. She placed a hand over Tori's. "It's okay, you can stay here tonight."
Tori nodded and wiped some tears off her own face. "Thanks."
Jade smirked. " But you aren't staying if your gonna be a Debby Downer. Come on." She got up and turned on some fast pop song. "Dance with me," she intructed with a extended hand.
Tori raised an eyebrow. "Serious?"
Jade nodded. "Yeah serious, live a little, Vega."
Tori rolled her eyes and took her hand, Jade pulling her up.
"Just loosen up a little Tor, it'll help."
Tori finally starting giving into the beat of the music; moving to the beat.
"There you go, Vega!" Jade encouraged with a slight smile. They danced around the room a little, trying to forget about everything bad that had been going on. In the end, both were laughing, having forgot about everything bad. Becoming friends was the best idea they have had yet.
