Just a random idea I came up with while watching 'Jade Dumps Beck'. Don't know how many chapters it'll be.
Some of the dialogue will be from the episodes, with new stuff thrown in to make it different. Hope that's okay.
This does eventually become Jori, but it starts with Jori friendship and evolves over time.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious' or its characters.
No POV
"Tori told me to get you a dog." Jade says after a short moment of uncomfortable silence.
"Dude." Tori says, staring at Jade, offended.
"It doesn't matter." Beck says, cutting off whatever Jade was about to say in defense. "I got to go visit meet them at the hospital and call my mom. See you two at school." He says, grabbing his jacket from his RV and the keys to his truck.
"I'm sorry." Jade says, following him to his truck. "I know you always used to talk about wanting a Rottweiler, so I went out to get you one. I didn't know it was going to freak out or anything." She says as he climbs into his truck.
"Don't worry about it." Beck says, closing the door and starting his truck.
"Are we okay?" Jade asks with a hint of hope in her voice.
"We'll talk later." Beck says, pulling away after Jade takes a few steps back.
"I'm sorry." Tori says, patting Jade on the shoulder as Beck drives away.
"For what?" Jade says with a sigh, heading for her car.
"I could tell how much you wanted this to work, but neither of us could have expected the dog to freak out like it did." Tori says, following her.
"It's whatever." Jade says dejectedly, opening the driver's side door and climbing in, waiting for Tori to do the same. "Let's just go." She says once Tori closes the passenger's side door, pulling away from Beck's RV.
The drive back to Tori's house is filled with an uncomfortable silence, Tori not knowing what to say and Jade just not feeling like talking.
"See you at school tomorrow?" Tori asks hesitantly as she climbs out of Jade's car. When she doesn't get a response, she closes the door and walks to her house, digging her key out of her pocket to get in.
Once Tori opens the front door, Jade pulls away and heads home, setting out a sigh as she pulls away from the Vega house. Arriving home less than fifteen minutes later, Jade walks into her house after making sure her car doors are locked and heads to her room in the basement, bypassing her mother and younger brother in the living room.
"Jade." Her mother, a woman who looks like an older version of her, with the same hair color, minus the colored stripes, says as Jade walks passed them.
"What." Jade says tiredly, opening the door.
"How did it go?" Dana West, Jade's mother, asks as Jade pulls the door open, knowing how eager Jade was to get back with Beck.
"It didn't. The dog went psycho and attacked his dad." Jade says, walking into her room and going to close the door.
"What do you mean?" Dana asks, grabbing the door before it closes.
"I looked in and saw someone on Beck's bed. I thought it was Beck, so I grabbed the dog from Tori and pushed him in the RV. Turns out, it was his dad, and the dog just attacked him. They took him to the hospital, and Beck left before we could talk." Jade says in a deadpan. "He said we'll talk later or something, but I doubt it." She says, walking down the flight of stairs, not waiting for a response.
Across town, Tori sits in her room, thinking back on how tired Beck seemed and how, she hates to think about it, desperate Jade seemed to talk to Beck, but Beck seemingly pushing her away made things worse.
"So, did Beck take that Goth girl back?" Trina asks from the doorway of Tori's room.
"Why do you care?" Tori asks, knocking herself out of her thoughts, as she stares at her sister.
"So I can ask Beck out if not, duh." Trina says simply, rolling her eyes.
"I don't know if they're together again or not. We'll find out later." Tori says, letting herself fall backwards with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" Trina asks, staring at her sister with worry.
"Not my place to say. Let's just say things are a little more complicated than we thought." Tori says, thinking back to how Beck's dad looked when they took him out of the RV and had to call animal control for the dog. "I'm gonna change and go to bed. Wake me up for school since you keep shutting off my alarm, or I'm telling dad you're the one who overcharged his credit card last month and made me take the blame." She says, grabbing her pajamas and heading for the bathroom to change and brush her teeth.
"It's not my fault your alarm is so noisy." Trina says, walking to her room. "It interrupts my beauty sleep." She says simply.
"You're already awake and using all the hot water when my alarm goes off, so how does it interrupt your beauty sleep?" Tori says, staring at her sister, who simply ignores her. "I hope Jade's gonna be okay. And that they work this out." She says with a sigh, closing the door behind her.
The next morning, Tori walks into school, surprisingly early since her sister did indeed wake her up. Though she wasn't expecting the wake up call to be her sister storming into her room and kicking her out of bed on the elder Vega's way to take her morning forty-five minute shower regimen.
"Where're Beck and Jade?" She asks herself as she heads for her locker, noticing how Beck's locker still has all his stuff in it from after school, and Jade, who's usually at her locker grabbing her books and wasting time before class, is closed and no one's around it.
As she closes her locker, she spots Beck walking into the school, looking like he's barely slept last night.
"How's your dad?" She asks hesitantly, knowing she's partially at fault, being the one to tell Jade to buy the dog and being there when they put him in the RV.
"Fine. Nothing major. Just some scratches and a few bite marks that needed to be treated properly, plus a couple of stitches on his arm." Beck says with a sigh, opening his locker.
"He looked a lot worse when the wheeled him out." Tori says, regretting it as soon as it left her mouth.
"Yeah. They said he was lucky the dog didn't bite and tear or anything, or he'd be in a lot worse shape." Beck says as he goes through his locker.
"I am so sorry about last night." Tori says after a short moment of silence as Beck grabs his morning books.
"It's not your fault." Beck says, closing his locker and putting his books in his bag.
"It kinda is. I did tell Jade to get you a dog, but only after she brought up how you've always wanted one. We never wanted anyone to get hurt." Tori says, sighing.
"I know." Beck says, standing up and leaning against the lockers. "I talked to Jade this morning." He admits, staring at the half-Latina.
"So, you're back together?" Tori asks, hope in her voice.
"No." Beck says with a sigh, looking down. "I can't handle her jealousy anymore. I love her, but that's too much." He says, looking back up. "Maybe in the future, but for now, no." He finishes as the bell rings.
As he walks to Sikowitz's class, Tori turns around when the door opens, Jade walking in with a slight frown on her face. When Jade briefly looks at her before heading for her locker, Tori turns around and heads to class, her mind already working on ways to get them back together.
Here's chapter one of my new Jori fic. I know I have other things, and I am working on them, but I get random ideas while watching/doing things, so I type them out as they come to me.
I am still working on everything else, but I figured get this out before I forget. Which, to be honest, almost happened. I forgot I had this in a folder on my flash drive until I clicked onto the folder, seeing this.
I might have this follow certain episodes, and if I do, they'll be episodes that follow 'Jade Dumps Beck' from the DVD release of the series, which means that if you're used to the order that they aired, you might be confused.
Title subject to change.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to your reviews.
Blessed Be.
