Reunion
Chapter 1 – Crash and burn.
Authors Note: This story is going to start off very grim and depressing. Because we are starting off with a bad breakup between Tori and Jade. But this story, is not about Tori and Jade falling in love. It's about them falling back into love. Not sure how long it will be though.
No One's POV
It was past 10 in the evening and the argument had been going on for almost an hour. A once loving relationship which was now in its 6th year, had been gradually strained beyond limits. This argument was hardly the first, between the two occupants of this spacious apartment. Even the neighbors, were noticing the ever increasing blow ups, between the Goth and the Latina. This particular fight, fueled by bitterness, resentment, anger, alcohol, had reached its climax.
Jade stood glaring at Tori, before taking a long drink straight from a vodka bottle.
"Of course Jade, more booze, that will fix everything." Tori said cynically.
"Why in the hell not, it makes living with you bearable!" Snapped Jade.
"All it ever does, is turn you into a angry bitch!" Tori said as she put her hands on her hips.
"Fuck you Vega!" Yelled a very drunken and angry Jade West.
Jade then took another drink and threw the bottle against the wall, where it shattered.
"Is that what you want Tori. Just a fuck!" Said the Goth a she advanced on Tori. "Or maybe from one of those other whores you've been flirting with, or who ever else you've been screwing behind my back!" Jade said, her words filled with bitterness and venom.
In a sudden surge of anger, Tori slapped Jade right across the face.
Jade's face seemed to turn blood red, as her nostrils flared. The next thing Tori felt was a sudden hard painful blow across the left side of her face as Jade suddenly back handed her. The whole left side of her face stung bitterly and she felt a warm oozing on her lip. It was then Tori reached up and felt her now bleeding lip. Looking down at Jade's hand, Tori realized that the diamond on Jade's engagement ring, had cut deeply into her lip.
Even Jade looked shocked at the severity of her blow, but Tori didn't let Jade react.
Tori abruptly ran from the room. Snatching her keys off a table and fled the apartment.
"Tori, Come back." Was what Tori heard as she ran down the stairs. It was Jade shouting. Tori only ran faster. About 3 minutes later, she was driving away at about 70 miles an hour.
As shocked as she was for hitting Tori, Jade's anger took over and she grabbed a bottle of burbon from the cupboard and began to drink again.
"Fuck Vega, She'll be back" Muttered the Goth shortly before she passed out.
At 6 pm the next evening Jade returned from being in auditions all day. She was still hung over from the night before. She felt sick and remorseful. Tori had left so quickly she hadn't even taken her phone or purse. Jade didn't know what she would say to Tori. The Latina never returned, after last night's argument.
Jade entered the apartment, putting down the six pack of beer she planned to consume that evening on the table. She instantly noticed something was wrong. Things were missing.
Tori's things, Jade quickly realized to her horror.
Feeling even more sick, Jade ran to the bedroom and opened Tori's dresser. It was empty. She ran to the closet. Tori's side was empty. In a panic she ran back into the living room and saw a note on the dining room table.
It read.
Jade,
I can't do this anymore.
Goodbye
Tori
Next to the table, was Tori's set of keys for the apartment.
"Tori left me." Was all that Jade said, as she sank to her knees and began to cry.
Across town Tori sat in her new abode. It was an empty house which her manager had been able to quickly rent, for the now homeless pop star. It was a one story ranch house in a quiet neighborhood. The walls needed painting, the lawn needed mowing badly, the toilet kept gurgling, but it was home.
She thought briefly of moving back to her parent's home. But Tori didn't want to involve them. Jade might show up and cause a scene and they didn't need that. Besides, Tori wanted to be where Jade couldn't find her. It killed her, to actually want to hide from Jade. But her fear was running the show now.
"Fuck Jade, the relationship is dead. Save yourself." Said, that part of her mind that wanted to run. It more than drowned out, the other part that wanted to go back.
Tori sat on the floor, in the middle of he boxes she had brought from her and Jade's apartment. All of her possessions had been hastily packed and moved. She pulled out her compact and glanced at her face. There was a large bruise on her cheek and a cut on the corner of her lip. It still hurt.
But that was nothing in comparison to the hurt she felt inside. The pain she felt knowing that Jade had struck her. Knowing that Jade and Tori were officially no more and probably would never be again. It was an almost unbearable soul grinding pain that seemed to be everywhere at once.
"How did things get so bad." She said aloud.
Tori looked around and briefly thought of the 100 things she needed to do. Get some furniture, unpack, paint, mow the lawn, plus a ton others to put back together her shattered life.
But she wondered, if she would ever be able to put back together her shattered heart.
In the meantime all she could do, was cry.
This was originally going to be a one off. But I made it a bit longer. It will be a couple of chapters long at least. It's ultimately about coming back together. Healing and forgivness.
