A/N - This idea came to me last night. Takes place in the future, after Jade and Tori are at college together. Hope you enjoy it.

Tori Vega, I love...
...the way you look in the morning. No seriously. Your mouth agape in a perpetual yawn and your matted hair reminds me of a young girl named Jade who used to shuffle into the kitchen the same way before she was "too cool" to look tired.
...how upset you get when I mock you. I know you know that I'm not serious and yet you get yourself all worked up over it. And the look of exasperation you get makes me want to kiss you.
...your secret desire to be a lawyer. You like the stage but a courtroom is just a different type, and in lawyer's case, you get to help innocents at the same time. Noble intention, if you ask me. But you're also afraid everyone thinks you too stupid to make it.
...that you are my roommate. I see you when you wake until you sleep again. I even see you after your asleep when I stand in the doorway to hear you talk in your sleep. That's how I know about your secret desire. (I'm not a stalker though).
...your wardrobe. I never knew anyone could own so many good-looking boots that aren't black. And I'm awed by all the colors you wear. I don't have the confidence to wear anything but black.
...the way you are so apologetic. Like that time when we still went to Hollywood Arts and you shredded Robbie's puppet. You always say sorry, and it's always so sweet. I make you feel guilty about things just to hear it.
...that pear phone you always have. I've always hated how phones have become an extension of their owner but with you, your phone acts as a look into your thoughts. Without your constant statuses I wouldn't know half as much as I do about you.
...your determination/ stubbornness. I say both because on one end of the spectrum it's really loyal and awesome but in the other end it is to the point of being annoying. But you always accomplish your goals.
...that you're insecure. Not so I can prey upon your negative self-image but because it's humbling. And it makes it that much more mind-blowing when you succeed. Though there was no doubt to begin with.
...how you lose yourself in a song. It's like the rest of the world falls away and all it is, is you. It's amazing and beautiful and in a lot of ways sexy.
...your confidence. I know I just said you insecure but you also have a lot of confidence. Inside your scared but on the outside, you appear fearless. Coupled with your determination, you'll always get what you want.
...how loyal you are. You would do anything for your friends, even ones you don't particularly like. You just can't not help. I know I joke about it but I mean no harm, really.
...that you're yourself. Sometimes I don't know if I'm being Jade West or something completely different. You always know who you are, and you seem to know who I am too, even if I don't.
...your nose. Everyone talks about your high cheekbones, and while I'll admit they're nice, I love the gentle slope of your nose. It's so dainty, just like the rest of you.
...that you make the best out of every situation. Coming from someone who sees the glass empty and shattered—not even half full—it is odd to admit liking optimism. It's refreshing, and as much as I gripe, it really does make things better.
...your tenacity. Anyone who can verbally spar with me is okay in my book even if I claim they aren't. You'll usually back off when I come in for the kill but pretty often, in fact, you'll step up and fight back. I like that.
...how your hair falls. Mine is knotty and ugly colored while yours is silky and beautiful. To say I'm jealous is an understatement but I rather you have the great hair than me. You deserve it more.
...your kindness. So sweet that I have cavities but so addictive, I come back for more. You hold open doors, volunteer, do favors—you're just a little humanitarian. It's something I'll never be.
...that sometimes you'll put yourself first. No one can be nice all the time and I really enjoy those times when your not. Those moments when you do something for your self for once, is nice. I hate seeing you throw away everything for every else. For you, it's like a mini-vacation.
...how talented you are. You wow me on stage whether you're singing or dancing or acting. It makes me want to join in. Someday I might, and someday, you might let me.
...that you'll never see this and learn that I love everything about you. This is my secret shame. I hide it well but then again, I am an actress.
...you.
Love, Jade West
