Chapter 1: I Can't Do This
Tori's POV
It was a standard day at Hollywood Arts High School, some people laughed and talked about things on The Slap, some danced and played music, while the "It" couple, Beck and Jade, were having yet another argument, once again a standard day at Hollywood Arts. "I don't know what you want from me Jade, I've given you all the love I could possibly give," Beck yelled at Jade. "I don't know what I want from you Beck, but all I know is that I don't want you," Jade said the last part in a low, defenseless tone. "Well fine, you can have it your way," Beck slammed his locker and walked away. I walked up to Jade, "Whoa, what was that about?" Jade never told you anything but by the look in her eyes it was apparent that her gorgeous emerald eyes were about to break with tears. "Just leave it alone Vega, I don't need your sympathy," she said wiping her eyes. "Well, unfortunately for you I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what happened," for some odd reason no matter how much Jade shut me out I always wanted to be something to her. Jade looked around and grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the school. Jade's grip was fiercely tight; she was pretty darn close to cutting off the circulation in my arm. She dragged me out to the parking lot and to her car. She unlocked the door and told me to get in. I got settled in the seat and started asking questions. "Okay, what happened with you and Beck?" I don't think I was supposed to see that but my locker is in the area and it was inevitable. "We broke up" Jade said choking on what was either a small laugh or a quick sob. "So, it's no big deal, you want me to help you get him back?" there I go again offering my help so I could be considered something to Jade.
Jade's POV
Tori was always trying to help me with something, I hated it. I didn't hate the fact that she offered to help me so often but it made it hard to hide away the fact that I'm completely head over heels for her. I mean let's face it she was talented, kind, sweet, beautiful, and so helpful. I sickened me, but deep down inside I loved her, not like best friends but I genuinely loved her. "Vega, you don't even know why we broke up" I said with a light laugh. "Well why did you break up so I can go fix it" her helpfulness was so annoying to a point where I simply adored it. It actually amazed me; she did so much for people and usually asked for little to nothing in return. "We broke up because of you" I looked up at her, a sense of shock smeared across her face. "Because of m-me? Well what did I do?" I didn't mean it like it was her fault that we broke up, but it was. "You didn't do anything Tori, just you being you made it so hard for me to be with Beck" I said looking down at my lap. "Wait, what do you mean 'me being-" I didn't even let her finish her sentence. And before my mind could stop my body, my hands were on her face and my lips exploded against hers. Oh my god, I just kissed Tori Vega. And I don't want to pull away. It felt like nothing else mattered at that point.
Tori's POV
Wait, did Jade just kiss me? Maybe this is just some messed up dream I have yet to awake from. It was so sudden but my instinctive reaction was to kiss her back. Her lips were soft, and warm, with a taste of mango. My hand found its way into her hair, the other sliding down the small of her back; I felt her skin tingle and her body tense up under my touch but soon relaxed. She pressed her body against mine, the intoxicating smell of her perfume filling the hot, thin air of her car. Thank god her windows were tinted so no one could see us. She pulled away, a look of apology burned onto her face, and a look of lust filling her emerald eyes. That's when it hit me; I realized why I did so many things for Jade, even if she still shut me down time and time again. It was because I wanted her, not to have her in my bed but to have her. I just wanted to mean something to her because she meant everything to me. I finally spoke to break the silence; "I better get going" I reached for the door handle but something wouldn't let me leave.
Jade's POV
I'm not sure if Tori wanted an escape out of my car, or if she just wanted to get away from me but I stopped her when she tried to leave. "Uh…I'll drive you home…if you want" I had no idea why I said that but she gave me a look that I just couldn't analyze. "It's not that far a walk besides I could use the cardio" her lips pulled into a forced smile trying to comfort me. "Fine" bitterness stained the word and burned my tongue but I had no reason to stop her; I just made things way more complicated than they should've been. Our relationship was relatively simple, I 'hated' her and she always helped me. Now I've gone and torn that to shreds, I wouldn't be surprised if she cut me out of her life completely. After Tori got out and left me in my lonesome car with nothing but bad music, a killing silence, and screaming thoughts. 'What the hell have I done?' now my brain decides to kick me while I'm down. 'What does she think now? Good going Jade, you just killed everything. The only thing you can do now is just sit back and watch it burn like everything else you've loved. Maybe I should call her.'
Tori's POV
'Jade kissed me, I can't believe she kissed me' that thought and a million other ones were ripping through my head. I have no idea but I had the irresistible urge to call her. I pick up my phone to call Jade. I'm terrified that she will answer and punch me in the face through the phone. I dial her number and wait for her to answer. On the first ring my stomach is doing flips, on the second I'm sweating bullets, and she answers on the third ring. I didn't hear her pick up the phone but at this exact moment my heart is ready to burst through my chest and scream "Jade I want you!" all I hear is her laughing, oh my god, did I just say that out loud? "Really Vega, you want me? Well come and get me" I know she's smirking through the phone. I could not help but smile. Jade could be so cute sometimes. I just had to ask her. We keep talking for what seemed like forever, but I never got to the point of her kissing me. For all I know it didn't even seem like she was listening, but I could hear some heavy guitar riffs, drum kicks that could cause a headache, and screaming vocals. Somehow I managed to figure out what the lead singer was saying.
Burn baby burn
She's a witch, she's a witch and I'm a heretic.
I'm not exactly sure but I had to ask. "Jade" my tongue burned with a questioning tone. "Hm?" she answered back sounding like she wasn't interested in the conversation at all. "What band are you listening to?" this question seemed to take her off guard because I could hear the tone in her voice change from indifferent to intrigued. "An amazing band named Motionless in White" I wasn't a fan of metal music so I wouldn't know who on god's green earth they were. "You should totally look them up" Jade peer pressured. "I'm not a fan of metal; it kinda gives me a headache." I tried to sound polite, not trying to bash her taste in music. "Please, for me?" Jade's voice was so soft and sweet I thought someone changed her brain with Cat's. "Ugh, fine" I groaned in defeat. "Good girl" annnnd Jade's back. An hour and fifty minutes into the conversation the question clawed at my throat. I just had to ask her.
Jade's POV
I can't believe I've been on the phone with Vega for almost two hours. I actually enjoyed the conversation; my heart was doing nothing but flips for her. After listening to her talk for the majority of the time she finally stopped for about a minute. I thought she had died from lack of oxygen. Then I heard her voice again, it was soft, subtle, and questioning. "Jade?" she called to me. "Hm?" I really wasn't invested in this conversation, most of the time I was reading a magazine, and when I finished that I decided to start watching a good horror movie. "Why did you kiss me in your car today?" my breathing hitched, I was praying that I could avoid that topic at all costs. "Don't call me back Vega" my voice cracked with sorrow, pain, and love. I quickly hung up the phone before she could retaliate. I threw my phone at the edge of the couch and hunched my legs to my chest. I just rested my head on my knees and started to cry. Not because of the kiss but because I knew that I couldn't have Tori. The whole night, I was hoping Tori wouldn't call or text back. To my surprise she texted 7 times and called 4 times. I see this is something I can't run from.
