A.N- Hey,guys! So i'm going to start posting these Cade stories that I write In a notebook during school..when I don't want to pay attention in class..lol. So all of them are just random short stories that I just come up with on the spot, so I hope that you enjoy this one and the one's that are soon to come! The song that is used is called "Okay" by Backhouse Mike. Jade sang this song in "Tori goes Platinum" for her audition & I feel like it suits Cade really well,no?
Disclaimer- I always forget this.. I don't own Victorious...or the song "Okay"
Walking slowly in the rain, not knowing where your going. Your feet are just walking on there own. You don't care where you go, as long as your away from home for awhile. Your parents were finally home today. You were beyond excited, but you can't say the same for them. They were supposed to be home hours ago, so your excitement turned into disappointment. How long has it been since they were home? Two, maybe three days? Your not to sure, because you lose count each time they're gone. You were fast asleep when they came home around 12:00 a.m, but you were awoken when you heard the front door slam closed and yelling coming from the living room. The fight that they were having was a complete blur, but you remember being beat up all to well.
After a few moments, you realize that you'v stopped walking and when you look up, your in front of Jade's house. On instinct, you try and go through your pocket to fish out your phone, only to realize that your wearing pajama paints. You sigh and ring her doorbell numerous times and knock loudly on her door. After a few minutes, Jade opens the front door with a scowl on her face.
"Cat do you know what fu-" She stops mid-sentence and moves aside to let you come in. She closes the door behind her and guides you upstairs into the bathroom. She runs a hot bath and leaves for a second and comes back with a washcloth. "Strip." Her voice is low and monotone, and you oblige. Your pink button up cupcake patterned pajama shirt goes first and then your matching pants and your yellow underwear after (You didn't bother wearing a bra because you sleep without one). Jade eyes you carefully with her face expressionless. But there's that little glint in her eyes, it's sympathy. Even though the two of you are alone, Jade won't exactly lower her walls down for you, but she does lower them enough to show that she cares-in her own way that is.
You slowly step into the tub, relaxing under the hot waters touch as it heats up your chilled body. Jade dips the wash cloth into the water and kneels beside the tub. She slowly brings the cloth to your face and gently cleans the cut on your cheek, wiping off the dried blood. She grabs her shampoo bottle and pumps a handful and starts to carefully massage it into your scalp and you can't help but inhale its scent, Jades scent. Jade is completely quiet as she carefully cleans your body. Thats why you always come here. She never asks questions when she sees you in a way that no one else would ever think was possible could happen to you of all people. If you went to Tori's, she'd shower you with questions, no doubt. But Jade... she understands. She knows that you don't want to talk about it, and that your in a not so stable condition at this moment. She knows that if she tries to force the information out of you, you'll cry and that's the last thing that either of you want. When your clean, you dry off while Jade takes out some bandages from under the sink.
You watch as she carefully wraps the bandage on your arm and puts a small bandaid on your cheek. You can't help but think how great of a nurse she would make. How sexy she would look in that short white outfit with her hair tied back- no. 'Stop thinking of her that way!,' You mentally scold yourself. You can't think of her that way- she still loves Beck.. Plus who are you kidding? Jade would probably put people into a hospital, not take care of them. She grabs your wrist and quickly guides your bare self into her room and she locks the door. She goes into her closet and takes out a black sweater and a pair of black sweatpants. You look at the sweatpants and shake your head, but you gratefully take the sweater and put it on. It's really big on you since it reaches down to your knee's. "Sorry.." You feel bad because this sweater is new and your bare body is touching it. You would have put on your underwear, but it's still wet from the rain. Jade shakes her head like its no big deal. " I'll just get another one, keep it." She sits on her bed and raises her studded eyebrow, silently saying 'Are you coming or not?'. You hesitate for a moment, but then you slip under the covers and rest your head on her mattress. Jade lifts your head and slides her pillow under your head. Your about to protest, but before you get the chance to, she's reaching over you and turning off her lamp.
When you close your eyes, your out like a light. But about an hour later, you wake up shivering and whimpering. The thunder outside doesn't make you feel any better. You try to stop because you don't want to wake up Jade, but she's already up. "Cat?" Her voice is soft and groggy. Before you can apologize for waking her up, her arms snake around your waist and gently pull you close. Your eyes are wide and your heart is beating so fast, your afraid that it might burst. Jade West is holding you- well it's more like spooning, but she's showing that she cares even more by softly singing to you.
"I like your smile But even introductions need to last awhile Sometimes I don't know if I'm right or wrong And in the end it seems like everything is worse when you're gone
There is no upper hand I'm giving you mine It doesn't have to end up wasting your time There's things that I could say But hear it my way I want to let you know that it's all okay
So there you are Mistakenly mistaken for a deeper scarA hole in your heart And the same for me Is everything you touch keeping you down or setting you free
There is no upper hand I'm giving you mine It doesn't have to end up wasting your time There's things that I could say But hear it my way I want to let you know that it's all okay
Shelter my eyes from the sun And wait for the birds to fly by Trying to reach every one And know what you're feeling inside Deep in my head now it's like a dream goodbye
There is no upper hand I'm giving you mine It doesn't have to end up wasting your time There's things that I could say But hear it my way I want to let you know that it's all okay Want to let you know that it's all okay Want to let you know That it's all okay"
This is the song she used for her audition for the Platinum Music Awards, but you feel as if she's singing this to tell you something..but your probably just wishing that she is. You roll onto your right side so your now facing her. You nuzzle into her neck and shecarefully pulls you closer. After awhile, you hear her soft breathing; She fell asleep. You hesitate for a moment, but then you give Jade a quick chaste kiss on the lips. She stirs a bit in her sleep, but then she smiles as she sighs contentedly. Part of you feels bad for doing that because you know that if Jade was awake, she wouldn't have liked the kiss, but part of you just wanted to thank her for what she has done. Sleep overtakes you and you don't wake up till wake up around six in the morning and Jade's arms are still wrapped around your waist. You gently pry them off and go to the bathroom because you seriously have to pee. After your done and you wash your hands, you check yourself in the mirror. You sigh at what you see and head back into Jade's room. You can't help the smile that appears on your lips when you see that Jade must have sensed you leaving the bed because she's shifting uncomfortably at the far edge of the bed, with her eyes closed, reaching out sleepily with both arms...in all directions. Aw! That's so cute! She's trying to find you! Although you love that she's trying to find you, you decide to end her torment, so you carefully slide back into bed and wrap her arm around your waist. She stops moving and let's out a sigh of contentment. You inhale her scent..lavender, and drift back to sleep.
She can't know about the kiss. You want to tell her and yet you don't at the same time..but its okay. She cares about you, and thats all you need to know. Hopefully someday she can return your feelings..
