I sat on my couch, waiting for the rest to come to my house, and watch The Wood here. André, Beck… and Jade would be coming. I could've known Beck would take her, since he's the eternal peace-maker between us.
If she wouldn't act like a total motherfudger, there wouldn't be a problem, but hey, that's just my opinion. I still can't understand why I helped her to get Beck back. There was a knock on the door, and I walked over, opening it. Before me stood Beck, smiling. ''Hi Tori.'', he simply said.
I looked behind him, to see if I could make out Jade anywhere, but didn't see her. I decided to dismiss it. ''Hi Beck! Come in.'', I said, and stepped aside. ''Sit down. Do you want a drink?'', I asked him as he sat down on the couch. ''Sure. Can I get a lemonade?'', he asked, and put his feet on the table. ''One lemonade coming up.'', I said, and walked up to the freezer. I returned to him with a glass full of pink lemonade.
''Your lemonade, sir.'', I said, and gave it to him. ''Thanks…'', he said, but gave me a funny look. ''Hey, why is it pink?'', he asked. I shrugged. ''It's pink lemonade.'', I said matter of factly. ''I've never seen pink lemons.'' ''There are no pink lemons.'' ''So what makes it pink?'', he asked, and made me think. ''Well, you know, it's… oh shut up!'', I said, and saw André walking in. ''Hey André!'', I said, and he greeted me as he sat down on the couch as well.
''Well, let's start it!'', André said, and I gave him a puzzled look. ''Er, shouldn't we wait for Jade?'', I asked him. ''Jade's here'' ''I'm here.'', I heard that voice say. When the heck did she come here, and where did she come from?
''When did you get here?'', asked her.
''Half an hour ago.''
''Where have you been?''
''In your room. You have a lot of… things… in there.'', she said, and gave me that smirk I knew all too well. Then she made a growling face, and faked a bite. Then she smirked at me again, and walked right past me. I just stood there, shocked. That was… kind of exhilarating. What the… No, no, no. I couldn't find Jade even remotely attractive… could I? No, no way in hell.
I went to sit next to Jade, when she rudely shoved me off of my own couch. I glared at her, and sat next to André. I took the remote control, and pushed play.
I sat wide-eyed, wide-mouthed… wide-everythinged basically. They made it look like Beck and I are… well… having an affair! I like Beck, but not like that! Then it struck me. Oh god. Jade is in the same room. I turned my head slowly, and saw her looking at Beck with a furious look on her face. I thought I was off the hook, when I saw a change in her eyes, like she thought of something, and turned her fury on ME.
Next thing I know, I'm being attacked, and my hair is being pulled. In a futile attempt to rescue myself, I try to push her away, but Beck and André pried us apart. I decided to clear the air, as much as possible anyway.
''That phone call between me and Beck wasn't real!'', I yelled, before she could attack me again. So far for being off the hook. She started to yell right back at me. ''You offered to tickle his tummy!'', she yelled, and started to get red. Whoa, she has feelings?
''I was talking to a puppy!'' Beck decided to back me up. ''I was ordering a pizza!'' It didn't suffice.
''How does she know you like to have your tummy tickled?'', she countered. Now it was enough. ''Everyone likes to have their tummy tickled!'', I said, and blew out a sigh. André spoke up. ''It's true. Sometimes, I do it to myself.'', he said, and inside my head, I grinned.
After a while of arguing, I went to let everybody out. I closed the door, and sighed. This was not an eventful evening. I turned, and there sat Jade, on my couch. I almost jumped, instead, I just flinched, and glared at her.
''How do you keep doing that?'', I asked her. ''Do what, Vega?'' ''You just appear out of nowhere. And why are you still in my house?'', I asked her, and crossed my arms. She glared at me.
''I don't want to go home.'', she answered, and stared out into the distance, signaling there was something wrong with her. I waited for her to do something, but nothing happened.
Then I sighed, and went to sit next to her. She didn't even glare when I did that, so there MUST be something wrong. ''Why not?'', I asked her. ''My parents aren't at home. I don't like it there when I'm alone.'', she said, and still didn't look at me. ''So? That doesn't explain why you're still here, you should've gone with Beck.'', I said, and leaned back into the couch. She sighed, like I was being stupid.
''Look, Vega… Tori. Can I please stay over? I really don't want to go home, and I don't want to go with Beck. Things haven't exactly been… good, for the last few weeks. I know we're not amazing friends, but you're the only one I can turn to.'', she said, and looked at me. I sighed. I couldn't just throw her out onto the streets, but I didn't exactly like her being here either.
''Fine. IF you're nice to me.'', I said, and warned her. She raised her hands in defeat. ''Consider me nice.'', she said, and got up, walking behind me while I lead the way to my room. What was I getting myself into?
