Tori's POV

I check my phone while walking down in New York. It's a sunny morning, which is something I've never got to see here. I smile when I feel the sun caress my skin. It's been three years since we graduated, and I haven't talked to my friends within months. I kind of feel bad. We used to have a very good relationship all together, and now we don't talk anymore.

I miss Cat, with her red hair and crazy stuff. I miss Robbie… that nerd that sometimes drove me crazy but that used to support me. I miss Andre, and Beck and even my sister, cause I haven't seen her for a year, since she's in Europe. But the person I miss the most is her. Jade.

I remember perfectly how she came to my house, almost crying, when she find herself lost in an ocean of loneliness and overwhelm. I helped her. She was single and so was I, and things were being built till we found each other.

I take my fingers up to my lips. I touch them, reminding every kiss she gave me. There wasn't many, though, but the few ones we had were the most incredible thing I've ever lived.

And now I miss her. So much. We lost contact when I moved here, and now… I regret doing it.

I stop for a second and just when I'm about to start walking again, a body stops me from doing it. I take my hand to my head, checking I still have it, and then my eyes meet hers.

"Oh my God", I whisper, feeling a bit dizzy. My mouth drops and my heart skips a beat. I can't believe it's her. "Jade? What are you doing here?"

"Why? Don't you want me here? New York is pretty big, if you don't like seeing me, then look for another place", she snaps out. Oh… Jade, always so careful and delicate.

I smile at her comment. I can't help it. She makes me… crazy. I look into her eyes. Those pretty and big blue eyes that used to analyze my whole body a few years ago.

"How are you, Tori?" she finally says, taking me out of my self-absorption. At least she still cares a bit about me. That's something.

"I'm fine, and you? I haven't seen you in… how many? Three years?" I look at my feet. Here, in the middle of New York, I had to meet her again. This can't be anything else but destiny.

"Yes, almost. They're too many, don't you think, Vega?" I grin when I listen to my name coming out of her lips. She stares at me.
"Hey, Jade, would you want to take a coffee right now? I know a place and…-"

"It seems incredible that you still don't know I would never say no to a coffee… and much more if it's free. Cause is it, right?" she arches her eyebrows. I know her too well to recognize she's kidding… but I'll her coffee anyway. I don't care. I've missed her so much. I would buy her everything.

I lead her to a small café I met with a few months ago. Their coffee tastes so good, so I guess she will love it.

We sit down at a round table and start chatting about these three years. I see how her eyes get fixed on my lips as I talk, or how she bites her lower lip from time to time, moving her fingers against the wood.

When we finally finish, I go to the bathroom to fix my hair and make up. I don't want to look ugly in front of her.

And just when I'm absorbed in my thoughts, I heat the door open. In the mirror, I follow her with my eyes, staring at her grin.

She places a hand on my shoulder, and my body vibrates. I turn around to look at her further, and she smiles openly.

"I miss you, Jade". She doesn't say anything. For a moment, I think she's going to punch me or something like that. I may… love her, but she's still Jade.

"I miss you too Vega… I hate even saying it, but… I do". I smile at her, and with no regrets, I kiss her hardly.

Oh my God… now I know I've really miss her.
