I Do NOT own Victorious..

Chapter 3: Without You

These few weeks had been long, Jade had managed to get out of the hospital and was currently going to school but every single day she'd visit Tori. Why had she ignored her? Was it out of fear? Was it out of embarrassment? Jade shook her head vigorously as the tears pricked her eyes. This was all her fault, atleast that is what she thought. She blamed herself for everything, for every single bit of pain that Tori had felt. She sat silently in Sikowitz's class just listening to her classmates and friends talk. Barely anyone had been smiling as much as they usually would, it was because Tori brought the joy to any room she entered. SHe was intoxicating, but she was not here. She was in a hospital bed, because of me, Jade screamed in her mind. It had only been a few days since Jade was released from the hospital and she wanted to get back as fast as she could. She needed to see her, she needed to smell that sweet scent that only belonged to Tori Vega. It hurt Jade to think about her, yet it hurt if she didn't think about her slightly enough. Jade regretted acting like an asshole, she regretted ignoring Tori and making her cry. She regretted it all and all she wanted was her latin love back.

Jade was lost, she was so lost that she hadn't noticed the long red hair pass her by, she was so caught up in her self hatred and blaming herself that she didn't hear the noise. In her gut she felt something, she looked up to see if anyone had noticed her zoning out but she found Cat, Andre, Beck and Robbie along with Rex looking happy as they hugged each other. She stood and walked over to them, "What's uh what's going on?" her voice was hoarse from the hours upon days that she had barely spoken a word, she only talked when she had to or when she sat at Tori's bedside. They looked over at her and their smiles didn't falter but they died down just a little bit to soften the mood. "She's awake.." Jade's heart raced as she heard the words, she stood there for a minute but it felt like hours. When Andre stepped forward to say something else she ran, ran for her life, to her life. She ran to her new car that was given to her by her father, she pumped on the pedal and raised to the hospital. All she could do was silently thank the god she hadn't believed in until now, she had silently thanked him for bringing her back. She vowed she would treat her right, she promised herself that she would give her all she had.

As she pulled up in front of the hospital she didn't bother to park, she just threw her keys to the valet and ran as fast as she could after grabbing her valet ticket. She bolted, she bolted to room 1024 on the tenth floor of the hospital that she so desperately hated. As she entered the room she saw both Trina and Mr. and Mrs. Vega, they looked up at her and that's when Tori looked up also. Her brown eyes mixed with Jade's green and she stared at her with depth, she might be looking for her soul. Trina smiled as she had realized what was happening, she had overheard one of Jade's visitations and eagerly suggested that both her and the older Vegas get some food. As soon as they left the room it had been silent, all that was heard were the beeps from the monitors around Tori, their silent gaze toward each other was not broken. It felt like she hadn't looked in those eyes for years and Tori felt the same about Jade's emerald green eyes. Jade began to move toward the latina and was soon in front of her. Tori broke the stare, as she wanted to cry.

"I love you." was the simple phrase that came from Jade's lips, she hadn't gotten the chance to say it when she was in the car. "I thought I lost you, I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you." Those three little words made Tori's eyes snap back up to the pale beauty's and they both looked on the verge of tears. Jade grabbed Tori's face and began to kiss her, Tori's head got dizzy and she was on a different level of euphoria. "I love you too." she simply said to her green eyed devil, she smiled sadly and she hugged Jade to her as if she was her only life source. "I can't live, without you. I am nothing without you, I can't face the dark without you." Jade said and finally the tears fell, first Jade's then Tori's. They hugged each other again and ended up in a searing kiss, as Jade pulled away she noticed the goofy grin on Tori's face and she laughed. Tori smiled in awe, she had never heard Jade laugh so freely, so wonderfully it was music to her ears.

Jade sat on the bed and stared at the one she loved, she knew she could never leave her willingly. She'd fight for her, she'd die for her. Hell she almost had. Tori felt the blush creep upon her face when she realized that Jade was staring at her. The look of awe was purely recognizable on Jade's face, Tori then smiled knowing that Jade wouldn't run anymore she wouldn't fight the feelings that were obviously there. Tori knew that she had caught Jade, she knew that she would never let her go. "So when do you leave?" Jade asked, the anticipation was killing her, she wanted to go out and take Tori out on real dates and be with her and love her and show the world that she was hers. She hadn't expected this but she knew she didn't want any other outcome. Tori sighed, "The doctor said I could leave in a few days. But they said I'd need crutches for my leg, it's broken. I'm so glad you're here."

Jade smiled sadly at Tori, then she was suddenly nervous. "Um Tori can I ask you something?" Tori looked up at her and smiled, then nodded. "Do you, uh wanna be my gi-girlfriend?" she stuttered over her words. Tori's smile widened and she stared at the gothic beauty. Without warning she grabbed her face and began to kiss her, "Of course, Jade West it would be my pleasure." Jade blushed at the latina's willingness to forgive her and just be happy. She envied her of that and she hoped that she would become like her, she hoped that she could learn from her. Jade kissed Tori's nose and cuddled with her until they fell asleep. Meanwhile Trina was outside and heard the whole thing, she smiled as she had always wanted her sister to be happy. She hoped that her sister wouldn't face the heartbreak that she had, she sighed and walked to her parents. "We should probably go home." the parents didn't question her and retreated to their car and were soon home.
