Chapter 3

Jade didn't really understand what happened. One second she was running from a phantom from her past. Someone who had hurt her more than anyone ever could and still wanted to dig her claws into her heart and the next she was playing tonsil hockey with some pretty Latina who was just trying to hide from what she was guessing is some other creeper trying to get in the poor girls pants.

The girl was talking but all words seemed to slip Jades grasp as she looked back towards her ex girlfriend who was glaring daggers at the couple through the crowd. Jade decided to use this to her advantage. She turned on some of her charm and used the "infamous Jade West smirk". Something her ex knows all to well. It is the same smirk Jade used to hit on her when they first met. She comes back at the end of the Latin girls apology to hear how she was trying to hide from some hulk looking dude. The poor girl looked terrified and shy a combination Jade found adorable. Which she was shocked by alone since Jade did NOT do adorable. This girl intrigued her and she knew just how to get the other girl interested right back. She was playful and once she heard the girls name it clicked in her head who she was. Tori Vega, the same girl her friends were going on and on about at dinner, had just kissed her. She wondered if this girl really worked for what she wanted, so once Jade had Tori on the edge she pulled back. "If she wants a chance she will work for it." Jade said with a true smile forming on he face. She hadn't felt this giddy since before her and her ex had dated.

She noticed Beck and Cat looking around the crowd with worried faces, probably looking for her. She made her way over to them and as soon as the spotted her they ran to her side.

"Jade where have you been? Never mind that, listen Alicia (Jade's ex) is here and she told Sam that if she wanted you back she could get you back in a second. I think she is up to something. We should go now." Cat said quickly as she started pulling Jade towards the door.

Jade chuckled and ripped her arm from Cat's grasp. "Cat don't you have any faith in me. I am not getting back together with her. Besides I want to stay for a little bit longer anyway. I will be fine and plus she hasn't even talked to me even though we both saw each other we kept our distance." Jade decided to leave out the fact that her mouth was already preoccupied by a Latina singers tongue.

Cat looked on just as worried as before. She wanted to trust Jade's judgment but didn't know if the girl had the willpower to say no to Alicia. She knew Jade loved her when they dated and wondered how much of those feelings the goth still harbored for the cheater. Still, she nodded her head in agreement and walked Jade back to the VIP room where all of her friends were.

As Tori and Robbie made there way to the stage Tori grabbed Robbie's arm and spoke only loud enough for him to hear. "Robbie I need you to find this girl for me and bring her to the stage during the last song. Also I am adding another song. It isn't one of mine but it is perfect for this situation. Okay?"

Robbie was puzzled, normally it was the other girls trying to woo Tori not the other way around. "Does this special girl have a name?" He joked.

"I dont know her name but she has straight black hair that comes down to the middle of her back, she is wearing black trip pants and a black button up work shirt, flawless pale skin and these aquamarine eyes that can pierce anyone's heart with a single glance." It was like Tori was in a dreamworld she just became enamored with the thought of seeing ts girl that it turned her into a blubbering mess.

Robbie was speechless, he had seen Tori when she liked someone but this this was something new entirely. "Geeze Tori what did she do? Did she save you from a wild bear or something?"

Tori laughed when she compared that CPM jerk to a wild bear. She thought it was kind of fitting. "Something like that. So can you do it?" she asked with hope?

Robbie sighed and nodded. "I will see what I can do. But if you get this dream girl you owe me. You were supposed to be my wing man tonight remember?"

Tori squealed in delight and made her way to the stage where she would tell the band the added song. Robbie took off towards the VIP balcony to search for this mystery girl. Luckily as he got up to the balcony Tori had just entered onto the stage. It meant that almost everyone would be out on the dance floor or right in front of the stage to watch the performance. What he didn't expect was for a raven haired girl to walk up beside him to watch the show.

"Girl's got pipes that is for sure." Jade says startling the boy beside her. As soon as he looked at her he knew she was the one Tori was talking about.

"I need you to come back stage with me." Robbie blurted out without thinking of how creepy that would sound.

Jade's eyes grew as she choked on the drink she was attempting to take before he said that. "Umm, sorry little man but you really aren't my type and I am pretty sure I am not yours either."Jade tried to walk away back to her friends but Robbie stopped her.

"It isn't for me. I am a good friend of Tori's. She asked me to find you." Jade quirked an eyebrow hearing this.

"If she wants to find me than she can look for me." Jade made an attempt to leave but as she turned around she received a text from Beck.

Beck: Getting anywhere on that bet. Remember even if you leave early the bet is still on. No love tonight means you date who ever Cat and I decide at least once.

Jade: I know what it means Beckett! And for your information I have had some luck tonight.

Beck: Then why are you not with her right now?

Jade: She is busy. Just wait and keep watching the show you will see.

Jade put her phone back in her pocket and faced Robbie once again. "So how do I get back stage?"

Robbie smiled brightly as he made the motion for her to follow. She followed him to a door which she expected was the backstage. "She wants you to wait in this room." Robbie said.

"You realize that this is really really creepy right?" Jade said quirking an eyebrow.

Robbie heard the end of Tori's last song come to an end, "Yeah yeah I know I am a creep just get going." He opened the door and pushed her through it. It took only a few seconds before she realized she was not back stage but she was ON the stage. She heard Robbie tell her "Sorry, there isn't a back stage really but I thought it would be easier to get you to come with me if you thought there was. Have fun" just as he finished his apology Jade lunged for the door as he shut and locked it. In a fit of rage she hit the door.

"I swear I am going to use you as a pinata you little creep!" She shouted as she turned around and faced the crowd who was watching the scene play out. She noticed Tori, who wore a mischievous smile, walk closer to her.

She lifted the microphone up to her lips and said playfully, "I do believe you owe me a name now."

Jade shook her head defiantly refusing to spill any information to the Latina. "Her name is Jade!" she heard an all to familiar voice call out. Her eyes widened as she sent an icy glare to her friends standing on the balcony.

"Jade? I have to say the name suits you well. Anyway, after we met I was inspired to play one last song as long as you were to join me up on the stage. I cannot take credit for this song but as soon as I saw you it was the first thing to go through my mind." Jade remains silent as Tori turns back to the crowd. "I don't know guys she isn't saying anything. Would you guys like to hear the song?" The crowd erupts in cheers. "I am taking that as a yes. Okay it is a song I am sure you all know well." The music to Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" comes in and the cheers become louder.

Tori:

Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday.

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she doesn't see what I see
But every time she ask me do I look okay?
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

Tori is confused when she sees Jade take a microphone from a backup singer and is surprised when she starts singing the next verse. The crowd is almost uncontrollable.

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say

Tori comes out of her stupor and joins in for the chorus. Both girls singing around each other, confidence growing with ever verse sang.

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are.
Yeah

They finish out the song together. Tori takes Jades hand and asks into the mic, "So Jade, will you go out with me?"

The crowd is chanting "Yes" as Jade takes a moment to think of how to answer. Tori gets her response in soft lips pressed against her own. The crowd erupts loudly once more until a pair of police officers jump on stage.

"We have had numerous noise complaints about this party so unfortunately this party will have to be shut down immediately. Effective immediately all of you must leave the premises." The one officer says while the other jumps off the stage to usher people out of the house. Andre goes to talk to the cop on the stage since it is his house.

Tori turns back to Jade wrapping her arms around her waist, "Well this is one hell of a way to meet someone." She joked.

Andre walks over to them after talking to the cop. "Well I hope you two had your fun because it just got me a nice fine for disturbing the peace. I know you didn't want to stay Tori but didn't think you would go this far" He teased

"Oh don't worry Andre, I think this was the best party yet."

Jade and her friends decided to stay and help clean up after everyone left. Each of them getting to know one another throughout the night. Beck was happy to see his roommate smiling like she used to.
