Author's Note: English Hw turned Fanfiction. Enjoy will add to it later. P.S. I wrote this before Worst Couple came out.
It was Friday, so Tori Vega decided to invite the gang over to her house that night to watch movies and party. Tori was a spunky thin Latina who tried to be friends with everyone and believed that everyone was good deep down inside them. Her older sister was going to be at a spa all weekend. Tori had no homework. She stuffed all her books into her locker and gleefully skipped over to Beck at his locker where Jade was standing beside him. Beck, a handsome tall half Indian boy from Canada with rather fluffy hair, knelt at his locker. Jade, a pale tall curvy Goth girl, was beside him headphones in her ears eyes closed. Her face seemed relaxed and calm; Tori had never seen it like that. Usually Jade's face was hard, cold, and angry around her.
Jade never liked Tori. Tori had few ideas why. She was always nice to her and helped her out all the time. But Tori did have one main idea. The first time she met Jade was also the first time she met Beck. She was walking into her new improv class and walked right into him spilling her latte all over his shirt. Tori being a nice person tried to dry it up a bit by rubbing the liquid out when Jade walked in seeing her and Beck super close. Tori shuddered remembering how Jade had yelled at her. That was when Beck and Jade were going out, but since they weren't anymore Tori didn't know why Jade would hold a grudge over that.
Jade was nice to other people to, but she seemed to pick on Tori especially when given the opportunity. Jade had this crooked smile on her face whenever she caused problems for Tori or watched as something went wrong for her, as if Jade enjoyed Tori's misfortune.
Jade was a twisted girl. She kept insects and anything weird she could get her hands on. She also liked very violent horror movies mostly about girls gutting other girls and made frequent hints to them about Jade doing that to her when Tori did something to bother her.
"Ready for tonight?" Tori asked Beck as he got up, shaking these thoughts from Tori's mind.
"Yup. I'll bring the pizza, everyone else said they'll handle snacks and drinks." He slung his bag over his shoulder, also light because he had no homework as well.
"She coming too?" Tori gestured to the zoned out Jade behind him.
"Yeah… I'm driving her. She needs to get out of her house by 5pm because her dad is having a dinner meeting." Beck nodded. Despite breaking up, Beck and Jade were still best friends. Jade broke it off for good for some unknown reason a few months ago, Tori mused in her head.
"But the party isn't till 6:30pm?" Tori blinked at Jade.
"Yeah, I'm trying to convince my parents to let her in the RV. But they still don't want her anywhere near the house for long… since we kinda… you know… broke up." He tensed up a bit. Trying to relax he stroked his hand through his fluffy hair.
"Ohhh…" Tori looked over at Jade feeling bad. "So, what's she going to do?"
"She says she'll just chill in her car two blocks from my place till the party, but still I don't want to leave her on her own…" Beck, sighed looking at her as well.
Tori's phone beeped. She checked the new text message. "Ohmygod!"
"What?" Beck leaned over looking at her phone.
"My dad got called out on business and my mom is still at my aunts for the weekend. So the house is empty!" Tori whooped.
"Sweet." Beck grinned.
"And I'll need some help setting up…" Tori always believed the best in people, even people who she thought might try to strangle her in her sleep, "Jade could help me." Tori smiled. "Plus, I need a ride home since my sister's already on her way to the spa."
"Hey." Beck nudged Jade.
Her eyes snapped open and refocused on Beck. The hardness in them softened at the sight of him. "What?" she barked out.
"Tori invited you to her house to help her set up for the party. Her parents won't be there 'cause they're doing stuff." Tori gulped thinking to herself, why did he tell her that. Jade could kill her and dispose of the body before the party. "She needs some help and you need a place to stay," Beck emphasized to Jade.
Jade looked at Tori. Her eyes searched her for something. Jade looked down as she found it.
"Sure," Jade muttered.
Tori lightened up, "Great!" She checked her phone for the time.
"See you ladies tonight," Beck smiled waving as he walked off.
"Bye." Jade put her headphones back in her ears and headed towards the door to the parking lot. Tori followed trying to keep up with Jade's fast long strides. Jade flipped out her keys and unlocked the car.
"Get in Vega."
Tori obeyed and hopped in buckling herself in quickly as Jade got in. She knew Jade wouldn't wait for her. Jade drove to Tori's house at top speed. Tori watched Jade's cold stern face as she drove. Tori wondered what it was like to be Beck, to see and make Jade smile, and be the only one who does. Tori was surprised when the car stopped and Jade popped the locks getting out. Tori scrambled out closing the door softly behind her. Jade stood on the porch tapping her foot. Tori fumbled for her keys earning a sigh from Jade in annoyance. When Tori finally opened the door Jade pushed past her tossing her bag on the couch.
"I gotta take a wazz." Jade strode over to the bathroom slamming the door behind her.
Tori blinked after her then slowly closed the door behind her locking it and started to compile a list of things she needed to do in her head while she waited for Jade.
"So what do I have to do Vega?" Jade, green eyes focused on Tori, stood behind her. Jade had finished in the bathroom and suddenly materialized behind Tori.
Tori jumped and gulped. "Well, I was going to move some stuff around and clean the fridge so I could put the food for the party in it."
"Kay." Jade had been to parties at Tori's before and knew how things were arranged. Surprisingly to Tori, Jade was able to pull the couches into place on her own.
Tori went to work on the fridge. Jade finished moving things in no time and stood behind Tori again. She enjoyed Tori's pain and dismay. She looked admiringly at her hips outlined in her skinny jeans as she bent over to move the milk to the back of the fridge. She kept watching Tori, but then Tori noticed it was too quiet.
"OW!" She moved to get up and banged her head on the edge of the fridge.
Jade chuckled.
Tori stood up and narrowed her eyes at Jade. "That really hurt."
"Yeah, you big baby, move." Jade still laughed pushing her aside. Tori sat on the counter. "Here." Jade opened the freezer and pulled out some ice then a dishtowel off the rack wrapping it up and giving it to Tori.
Tori blinked and pressed it to her head and blushed amazed at Jade. She was actually genuinely nice to her. And Tori had made her smile and laugh.
Jade still had a little smile on her lips and Tori looked dumbly at Jade.
"I'm almost done with the fridge; do you mind going into the garage and getting the other snacks off the shelves? I'll move them in here for now," Tori said to Jade hopping off the counter.
"Whatever," Jade's smile faded as she walked off to the garage.
Tori looked at the back of Jade's skirt. Tori blushed and resumed reorganizing the refrigerator.
Jade returned, arms full of cookie boxes. Tori heard the door to the garage open and looked up.
"Let me help," Tori ran over and tried to grab some but Jade didn't see her and they fell. The cookie boxes landed around them.
Tori landed on Jade, her head landed right beside Jade's. Their lips brushing as Tori avoided their heads smashing together. Tori's arms were under her on Jade's chest, just below her breasts.
They both panted, Tori's breath in Jade's ear. Jade's breath in Tori's ear. Jade's hands rested on Tori's hips. Their bodies were pressed to each other.
Slowly Jade turned her head, one green eye looked at Tori. Tori got off her.
"I'm so sorry, Jade," Tori gathered up the boxes of cookies. Jade rolled onto her feet and did the same. They stacked the cookie boxes on the counter. Jade sat on the couch not even responding. She dusted her shirt and skirt off, and fixed her hair. Tori sat beside her and turned the TV on. "I didn't crush you, did I?" Tori asked looking worriedly at Jade who she probably annoyed the hell out of for falling on her like that.
"No Vega you're light as a feather." Jade's green eyes locked onto Tori's wide brown ones. Her voice was cold, but not harsh and mean.
"Okay." Tori perked back up and resumed watching TV. Jade and Tori were only mildly aware of their proximity to each other. They sat unusually close. Despite having a whole other couch open, Jade had sat close to one end and Tori sat really close to Jade ignoring all the empty space. They both flinched as an unusually loud commercial ran and both girls reached for the remote to turn it down.
Tori's hand clasped around Jade's which held the remote. They both paused and then pulled their hands away.
"Ummm… I got some lines I need to practice..." Tori got up brushing against Jade in the process and grabbed her school bag. Tori had to learn some lines for an audition coming up in one of the plays her good friend Andre, who was attending the party, wrote the music for.
Jade turned the TV down and kept an eye on Tori. Tori stood behind the couch by the piano and began reciting lines softly but full of emotion.
"No, I don't know what I want anymore. I did want you once. But, I'm not sure what kind of a man you have become." She toned her voice to sound desperate and sad as she read from the script.
Jade looked at Tori full on over the back of the couch. "Conversation, Vega?"
"Uh yeah…" She blinked at Jade, "Would you mind reading the other part for me? Please?" She offered the script to her.
"Well, there certainly isn't anything else more entertaining to do." Jade got up snatching the script from Tori's hand.
"I don't understand," Jade deepened her voice till it matched the octave of a man read from the lines off the paper. She was infamous for her 'man voice' in improv class. It was rough and masculine, but still sounded like her. "You told me you loved me. I worked myself to exhaustion in that jail to prove I was good and deserved release. And this is what I get, you off with some other man," Her voice growing angry.
"Please calm down," Tori begged, "You have to understand. You were gone and I needed to keep up appearances. I don't love him. I-I-I was only acting till you returned." Tori pleaded to Jade. "You have to know that I was just waiting for you."
"So then why are you telling me now that you don't love me?" Jade folded her arms getting further into her character.
"It's not that I don't or do… but please listen." Tori stepped closer to Jade. "After being with a man who is kind, gentle, and wealthy it's hard for me to turn back to you."
Jade huffed, "because I'm belligerent? Because I'm rough? Because the only wealth I have I stole?"
"But please, I do still love you. I don't care if you're a criminal." Tori held onto Jade's arms and Jade dropped the script. It floated down to the floor away from them.
"So you will be my wife?" Jade recited the line from the script she had discarded. She spoke huskily into Tori's ear.
"Yes…" Tori nodded. The scene ended with a kiss; she wondered if Jade read that far.
Jade had. She held Tori around the waist as stated in the script and Tori wrapped her arms around Jade's neck. They both tilted their heads slightly and kissed.
Tori laid on Jade on the couch. Jade was more comfortable than any of the boys she'd ever dated and cuddled up to. Jade's stomach was so soft. Her head tucked into it and watched the TV there was still one more hour till people arrived. Jade pet her head. Tori wasn't Beck and she certainly wasn't Cat (Jade's best friend even though they were complete opposites). She was a smart Cat, or a soft Beck. Someone to tease that wouldn't get mad at her. They watched a romance movie. Normally, Jade would have minded but, she actually enjoyed it with Tori. Tori's warm hand rubbed her side.
"Jade?" Tori looked up at her.
"Yeah Vega?" Jade tilted her head to one side.
"Would you like to sleep over?" Tori hid her blush. "I was going to ask everyone too, since we'll have the house to ourselves and…"
"Sure." Jade broke her off because she had started rambling.
"Great." Tori relaxed.
Jade was surprisingly comfortable on the couch, so comfortable, that she fell asleep. Her dark hair splayed out behind it. Tori turned the TV off noticing not wanting to wake Jade. But, Tori fell asleep soon after, listening to the rhythmic beat of Jade's heart as her head snuggled into her chest.
The door was left unlocked and the first to arrive was Andre and Cat with a cake and a cheese plate. Andre was an average height African-American boy shorter then Beck but taller than Tori. He was a rather honest, caring, and friendly boy so he gladly gave Cat a ride over when she asked even though she tortured him with random questions on the way there. He stood beside the cotton-candy colored haired Cat who was rocking on her tiny feet to see Jade and Tori sleeping on the couch. She was the shortest in their group. She was a bit spacy at times and acted like a child but she was surprisingly Jade's best friend.
"Hey Tori!" Andre called loud before seeing Tori asleep, on Jade. Cat blinked curiously at them. Andre wondered what Jade was doing here, and not at home. He knew she hated Tori.
Cat bounced over to her best friend and gently poke her sleeping face. "Jade wake up."
Jade growled in her sleep which made Cat lean away scared.
Tori woke up at that and rubbed her eyes yawning. "Mmmm? What is it Jade?" she murmured and got up. Jade was so soft and warm, Tori thought fuzzily, she felt like she slept for ages.
"Morning," Andre chuckled a bit and put the snacks he brought on the island counter top in the kitchen.
"Morning…" Tori yawned and sat up between Jade's legs.
"Were you guys taking a nap?" Cat asked tilting her head cutely. Some, no, most of the time Cat's mind was as thick as concrete.
"Uh, yeah," Tori nodded quickly.
Jade growled again in her sleep, deeper and more feral this time.
"Shhhh… Jade gets really grumpy if you wake her from her sleep early." Cat whispered.
"Why is Jade here?" Andre asked as softly as he could. He long ago had fallen in love with Jade, but learned from Tori that Jade was a horrible nasty psychotic person and snapped out of it. He stood over by the sofa.
"Well, her dad was having a business meeting and she didn't want to go home, and Beck's parents won't let her near the house… so she came over and helped me set up for the party." Tori explained softly getting up. She always believed the best in people.
Cat took Tori's seat and started rubbing Jade's stomach.
"And she didn't kill you?" Andre whispered jokingly back at her eyeing the sleeping goth girl. "That's a good sign. Maybe you should buy a lottery ticket."
"Yeah…" Tori watched Cat rubbing Jade's stomach. Jade seemed surprisingly calm and relaxed. "Cat?" she whispered to her.
"Whaty?" Cat tilted her head as she rubbed.
"What are you doing?" she watched Jade twitch slightly.
"Jade likes her tummy rubbed when she sleeps, oh!" her eyes widened, "She made me promise not to tell!"
"Don't worry Cat, we promise not to tell too, okay?" Tori sat by her smiling and pet her head.
"Kaykay." Cat smiled back and kept rubbing. "Jade loves it when we play pretend, and she's a werewolf and I am her helpless victim. But, she never eats me 'cause I rub her tummy just right." Cat whispered giggling to herself. "It always calms her down when she is mad or sad. So she wouldn't eat me…"
Andre and Tori fell silent watching the girl they always feared slowly smile at Cat's tummy rubs.
"My hand's getting tired." Cat mumbled. "Wake up hand."
"I got it" Tori took over rubbing Jade's stomach.
"Thanks Tori" Cat smiled.
"You two go get some drinks and we'll start up a movie." Tori spoke softly.
"Kaykay, can I pick the movie?" Cat asked bouncing into the kitchen.
"Sure Cat." Tori looked down at Jade. She looked so happy and at peace. Tori hadn't seen her happy since before Beck and Jade broke up and the time Jade got a pair of scissors from a horror movie for Christmas.
Andre walked over and sat by Tori handing her some water. "Here. She looks pretty happy."
"Yeah…" Tori nodded looking over at Cat who slid a DVD in the player. Beauty and the Beast started up. She sat next to Andre with a soda. Andre groaned a bit but Cat looked at him with a cute/sad look and he fell silent.
"It's one of my favorites" she smiled at the two of them.
"Mine too, Cat." Tori patted Andre's leg.
They started watching. As Belle began singing Tori looked over at Jade. She had one green eye open. She was watching the movie, even smiling a little.
Maybe Jade liked this movie too, Tori wondered. When the Beast faded into scene Cat looked scared but Jade was still smiling.
Andre pet Cat, "It's okay. He's good, remember?"
She nodded, "I know but he's still scary," Cat gulped, "He reminds me of Jade sometimes."
Tori looked over to see Jade's eyes had shut tight. The smile gone. Tori rubbed Jade's tummy softly, "But, in the end the Beast is revealed to be good and just cursed. It wasn't his fault because of what the enchantress did to him."
"True." Cat sighed happily watching.
Jade listened to Tori, how she defended her. But Jade knew better. She was no perfect prince inside. She was a beast through and through.
Though… Jade peeked an eye at Tori, she looked such like Belle. Maybe, Tori was her Belle. Tori took everything Jade dished out to her, and still helped her. Not that Jade would admit she liked her or anything… but she did rub her stomach just right. She looked over to see the Beast raging on screen about Belle disobeying him.
"Howdie do," Robbie, a thin gangly nerd boy, walked in shutting the door behind him, arms empty. He was suppose to bring the drinks.
"I thought you were going to bring stuff?" Tori tilted her head and paused the movie
"I was but it was all too heavy for me to carry." He sat by Cat on the couch.
"Why am I not surprised," Jade's voice came out like a low deep rumble. She laughed a little, "You're such a weakling."
Everyone looked at her as she sat up quickly arm over the back of the sofa, "Weak little Robbie can't even lift a soda bottle." Her pierced eyebrow cocked and she got comfortable spreading her legs and leaning back into the couch.
"Can too!" He piped back, but shrunk away at her words.
"Ha! Weak!" Jade laughed. Her arm was just behind Tori. When Jade got comfortable beside her, Tori's eyes gravitated towards Jade's waist. Her wide hips outlined in her tight black skirt, "Your such a little nub." She sneered, "Go get me a soda."
"Okay." Robbie whimpered and ran into the kitchen at top speed.
"That wasn't nice Jade." Tori looked her in the eyes.
"I'm not nice." Jade hissed taking the soda from Robbie as he passed. Robbie sat back down looking into his lap. Tori sighed and started the movie back up. Tori felt Jade's warm body beside her. She shifted a bit and leaned into her gently hoping not to set her off. Jade noticed but let her. She watched the Beast getting scrubbed and cleaned for his date with Belle.
Tori looked up at Jade, looking into her eyes seeing the reflection of the movie in them. Her eyes took in Jade's pale complexion, supple lips which were loose and slightly apart. She could smell Jade so well. She smelt of lavender and pine.
Andre bored with the movie looked around and saw Tori leaning on Jade. Her head on her shoulder eyes closed. Jade's arm around Tori, almost like a standard cope-a-feel move, her black-nail polished hand secured around the side of Tori's breast.
He blinked in amazement at what he saw. What happened when they were alone? He wondered. They were acting so weird. Tori was the one who told him that Jade was a bad person, could never be trusted, good, or sane when he had a crush on Jade. Let alone have a stable relationship with anyone. So why now is she getting close to her?
Jade made sure everyone was focused on the movie before she started feeling up Tori. She was bi, she even thought about doing Cat to see if she would still be childish after. And after all, Tori was single... She could ask her out… Maybe even get lucky. Jade felt Tori's soft breast while Tori focused on the movie.
As the movie ended, Jade got up and went to the bathroom after chugging the rest of her soda. Tori blinked up at her watching her go.
"So, what in the name of shiz is going on?" Andre looked at Tori.
"What do you mean?" Tori looked at everyone innocently.
Cat and Robbie looked between Andre and Tori.
"Why is Jade here early?" He asked, "She hates you."
"She didn't want to go home 'cause her dad's having a business meeting there." Tori explained. "Beck's parents wouldn't let Jade over there either. So, she came over here and has been helped me set up."
"Why are you guys so chummy?" Andre asked again interrogating her. He knew full well if he asked Jade he'd get a punch where he really didn't need one.
Jade had finished in the bathroom after fixing her jet black locks of hair and stood in the hall listening to them twirling a piece of blue streaked hair in her fingers.
"Maybe, Jade's going to finally accept me as a friend." Tori smiled. "And I asked her to sleepover and she said yes, you all are welcome to too."
"Sure." Cat giggled.
"Awww man, I can't…" Robbie whined. "I promised my Mom I'd get home before midnight…"
"I'll stay over too," Andre nodded still suspicious.
Jade sauntered in on purpose hips swaying as she scooped up her empty glass and went to go refill it in the kitchen.
"I'm hungry." Cat whined. Tori was rather distractedly looking at Jade walking around, and then blinked back into reality.
"Beck should be here with the pizza soon." Tori pet Cat's head. "But you can go ahead and eat some of the snacks you and Andre brought."
"Kay-kay." She hopped up and skipped into the kitchen.
Jade sat back down in her spot on the couch. "Now what are we watching Vega?"
"Well, Jade, I was thinking that we could all watch a horror movie to get us in the sleepover spirit." She told everyone, but secretly she wanted to watch a movie she knew Jade would like and make her happy.
"Nothing too scary please…" Robbie whimpered at the thought.
"Where is the fun in that?" Jade grinned "The more blood and gore the better." She wanted to scare Tori good.
There was a knock at the door and Andre got up to answer it, since he was closest. Beck stood in the doorway with 2 pizza boxes in his arms.
"Hello, did someone order a pizza?" Beck smirked at them.
"Yay pizza!" Cat cheered and ran over took it from him and darted back into the kitchen with it followed by Robbie.
Beck walked in, fist pumped Andre and waved at Tori. "Hey." He smiled at her.
"Hey." She smiled back Jade looked at the wall away from Beck. She knew how Tori and Beck were kinda close and when Jade and Beck were together she was always weary of Tori being near him. She felt that feeling again now. Though it made little sense. She wasn't with Beck anymore so why was she now feeling so defensive? "You're just in time. We were about to start watching Left 4 Dead."
"Cool." Beck knew that was one of Jade's favorites. "I'm starving. I'm going to grab a slice be right back." He headed into the kitchen followed by Andre.
Jade looked over at Tori, "Left 4 Dead is one of my favs."
"Oh really? It's one of my fav horror movies too," Tori lied and smiled wide at Jade. She hoped to get on her good side. She really did want Jade to like her.
Jade eyed her skeptically about Tori's comment. "Wow Vega, I didn't pin you for a zombie fan."
"Oh yeah," Tori nodded eagerly, "Zombies are great."
"What's your favorite monster?" Jade looked into Tori's eyes.
"My favorite?" Tori thought hard trying to think of something not lame. "Umm… well I have a couple I like over others…"
"Okay like?" Jade asked again.
Tori remembered Cat's story, "I like were-wolves. Actually, they're my favorite. There's just something about them that I really like."
"Really?" Jade blinked at her.
"Mhm. You?" Tori looked over at Jade waiting.
"Were-wolves are my favorite too…" Jade mumbled out.
"Really?" Tori said just a bit too excitedly, "That's so cool. What do you like about them?"
"Umm… well… I like the fur, tails, ears, muzzles… umm I think the flesh ripping claws and fangs are cool too…" Tori's surprise peppy attitude had Jade off. "You?"
"I like the fur and I think the whole transformation thing is really cool." Tori nodded to her hoping that she was getting to Jade.
Beck, Andre, Robbie, and Cat walked back in all carrying slices of pizza and refilled drinks sitting around them.
"Mmm… this pizza is the shiz." Andre said between bites as he sat between Beck and Tori.
"Yeah I picked up from Amillio's." Beck ate his slice.
"You have sauce on your lip. It's like a sauce mustache," Cat sat next to him giggling.
Beck licked it up blushing a bit. Robbie sat on the end with Cat nibbling at his slice.
Tori giggled watching Beck, "You're so silly."
Jade got up and went into the kitchen to get her own slice and Tori followed her.
"So what have I missed?" Beck asked the others.
Andre gulped and looked a little guiltily at him. "Well man… there's been some where shiz going down around here with Jade and Tori. Did you know that Jade came over here early to help Tori?"
"Yeah. I suggested it." Beck looked at Andre. "What else is going on?"
"Well they've been acting all kinds of weird. Jade's being less mean to Tori and when I showed up with Cat they were asleep on the couch in each other's arms, man. Tori says it's just 'cause their getting close as friends but I saw…" Andre looked at Robbie and Cat, then leaned in to Beck's ear and whispered, "Jade feeling down Tori."
Beck looked at Andre strangely, "Are you sure that's what you saw?"
Andre nodded. "Yeah, man. I swear on my crazy grandma I saw it with my own two eyes. It's freaking me out Beck. It's freaking me out." He told him looking around a little to make sure Jade and Tori were still in the kitchen. "And..." he leaned in again to whisper, "Tori asked Jade to sleepover and she said yes."
Beck blinked at him. "Andre?"
"Yeah?" Andre blinked back at him.
"They're just being good friends." Beck stated to him. "I don't think you saw what you think you saw earlier, but besides that it seems like they're just being friendly." Beck held Andre's shoulder trying to keep him calm.
"But-" Andre started.
"But we should still keep an eye on them." He nodded slowly to Andre as Tori and Jade walked back in. Tori balanced her pizza and soda cup taking her seat again by Andre. Jade held only her soda.
"You're not having any pizza Jade?" Beck asked curiously.
Tori looked at him wide eyed shaken a bit. "Not having pizza? She just scarfed down 3 slices in 2 bites. 2 BITES!"
Jade chuckled licking her lips. "I love Amillio's."
Beck smiled a little. "See now you know how she devowers small children in her spare time." He teased Tori.
Tori still just blinked at him like a deer in headlights. The image of Jade eating those slices was now carved into her brain permanently.
The night calmed down after the movie. Robbie went home and soon after Jade went out to her car to grab a bag of extra clothes she had in the trunk. Cat borrowed a pair of pjs from Tori and Andre and Beck decided to sleep in their underwear. Jade changed into her black cotton pjs in the downstairs bathroom while Cat changed in the upstairs bathroom. Tori, Beck, and Andre sat in silence in Tori's room while they waited. The awkward silence between them didn't last long because Jade and Cat walked in.
"I call bed. I'm not sleeping on your filthy floor Vega." Jade sat on Tori's bed.
Tori had pulled the air mattress out of the closet and had started pumping it up watched as Jade got cozy on her bed.
"That's ok. Us guys'll rough it on the floor." Beck helped Tori pump.
Cat sat on the bed by Jade's feet and watched as Andre and Beck set up the king sized air mattress. "Well the 3 of us can't all sleep in Tori's bed it's too small." She looked between Jade and Tori. "One of us hasta sleep on the floor."
"Not me." Jade announced and proceeded to sink deeper into the bed.
Tori sighed she really didn't want to sleep on the floor.
"I'll do it. That way Andre and Beck can keep me warm and safe from monsters." Cat smiled, her childish outlook on life seeping through as she gleefully tackle hugged Andre.
"Yeah we'll keep you safe Cat." Andre chuckled and hugged her back. Andre wondered if Jade and Tori planned this. Having the bed all to themselves, they could be doing stuff while Beck, Andre, and Cat were sleeping.
Jade realized this meant she and Tori would be sharing the bed. She looked at Tori wondering if that bothered her.
Tori was smiling at how silly Cat was acting. She looked over at Jade seeing her harshly staring down from the bed at her. Her smile faded fast.
"Well now that that's set up let's get to bed." Tori tried to say cheerily.
"Kaykay." Cat tucked herself in bed. Andre and Beck got in around her getting comfortable.
"Jade?" Tori turned to her.
"What?"
"Could you please get up so I can turn down the bed sheets?" Tori asked nicely.
"Fine." She growled and got up. Her arms folded across her chest as she watched Tori pull down the sheets and arrange the pillows herself.
"There." Tori hopped in and got cozy.
Jade slipped in grumbling a little.
Tori reached across Jade and turned out the light. Jade looked up only to be a few inches from Tori's soft tan neck. Her tongue ran across her teeth watching as Tori gulped then when the light was out move back into her spot. Tori was surprised Jade didn't snap at her for being in her space.
"Well, night everyone," Tori yawned.
"Night guys," Beck mumbled face half in his pillow.
"Night ladies and Beck," Andre said and watched Tori and Jade.
"Night," Jade grumbled out.
"Sweet dreams everyone!" Cat giggled and yawned.
Cat was the first asleep. All the sugary snacks she ate gave her a sugar coma. Beck was soon after. He tried to pretend to be asleep but soon feel asleep because it tired him out. Andre stayed awake to his own surprise and watched the two girls up on the bed curiously.
Tori kept tossing and turning which made Jade pissed. She was just about to fall asleep when Tori would roll herself over or tug up the covers some more and wake her. Her angry green eyes narrowed at Tori, not that Tori could see them or noticed Jade's annoyance. Tori was just worried.
Tori was paranoid about Jade sleeping beside her. She didn't want to fall asleep then roll over on Jade, or accidentally brush her in her sleep and end up kicked onto the floor. So she kept changing positions trying to find the perfect one.
Jade was sleeping on her side facing towards Tori. She waited till Tori rolled to face her again then grabbed her by her green pj shirt and dragged her closer to her, face to face.
"Stop flipping around Vega. I want to get some sleep." She growled softly as her green eyes intensely looked into Tori's.
"Sorry!" Tori whispered back, "I'll stop." She looked up into Jade's eyes. Their breath mingled because of their close proximity. "I-I-I just wanted to settle in a way that I won't disturb you later, Jade."
"Oh." Jade relaxed her grip on Tori and slowly the fact that their foreheads were almost touching set in. Jade started blushing and moved away.
Tori frowned and snuggled into her bed. She looked down and away from Jade. She thought for a moment. Jade sleeps really deeply; she would wait till Jade was out cold then snuggle up to her
Jade closed her eyes and tried to sleep but despite finally having peace and quiet she couldn't sleep. She thought of all the things that made her happy: dead puppies, cut up flowers, and Tori sad. But nothing helped her sleep.
Tori looked over at Jade. She looked asleep to Tori. Tori tucked her head under Jade's and hugged one arm around her and smiled to herself as she felt Jade's warmth seep into her body.
Jade's eyes flew open as she was hugged. She looked down to see Tori cuddled into her side.
"Tori what are you doing?" Jade asked.
Tori froze in place.
"Tori?"
Tori rubbed her eyes. "Oh sorry Jade… you're just… really comfortable to sleep on. Sorry." She blushed and moved away.
Jade blinked after her. "It's fine. You can lay on me."
Tori smiled, "Really?"
"Yeah." Jade nodded.
Tori cuddled back into Jade's side. Tori felt so happy. Jade was letting her near her. But Tori felt something more, more then she expected to feel. She felt accomplishment that she got one step closer at being friends with Jade but she felt much farther from her goal then before.
"Am I really that cozy Vega?" Jade asked softly.
"Yeah you are." Tori smiled up at Jade, "And warm."
Jade felt a blush coming on and looked away. "Oh."
They fell silent for a while and Tori almost feel asleep when she heard Jade.
"What do you see in me Tori?" Jade spoke so quietly that Tori barely heard it.
"Jade I just want you to like me. I'm sorry if I try too hard." Tori looked away sadly.
"Fine Vega. You win." Jade whispered harshly down at Tori. "I'll be your friend. Just whatever you want me to be I'll be ok?" On the inside she was happy. Finally, she was close to Tori and things would be ok.
Tori blinked at her and thought, but I want you to be more than that… now I know I really want you to be more than that Jade.
