So I was in the car, listening to the radio, and this Rihanna song came on. I was like holy crap, this is the perfect Jori song. Anyway, I hope you guys like it.
Tori sat in Sikowitz's class, drowsy and uninterested. She had been up all night, thinking about Jade. Ever since they went to that weird spanish show and tormented Trina, they had gotten pretty close. So close, that their friends suspected foul play. Both girls happily denied the accusation, but snickered to themselves afterwards.
"We can't be so friendly around them," Jade had warned her, punching her on the arm. Tori punched her back and laughed.
"Well, it's either be friends or not be friends at all," She responded, as they were nearing Sikowitz's class.
"Can we be both?" Jade asked playfully before jerking Tori into the room by the drawstrings on her sweats.
"Huh?" She had mumbled, but Jade hadn't heard her. Or at least pretended not to. That was yesterday, and she still didn't know what the girl meant by what she said. It didn't bother her much...She was just curious.
Also, Jade had goofed around with her a bit today, but when it had come time for Sikowitz's class again, she had went to sit with Beck. She never sat with Beck. Well, after that night of course. When they returned home from embarrassing themselves as pieces of cheese, Jade asked if she could crash and they spent the rest of the night together.
They talked, they laughed, they watched movies, Jade even agreed that they were friends. Finally after two years she finally said that they were friends. And really meant it. Now.. Tori was feeling a bit jealous. And confused. Why would she be jealous? Jade's not her girlfriend. And she certainly didn't have feelings for her. But maybe...maybe she did.
She glanced over at Jade, her piercing blue eyes focused on whatever Sikowitz was saying and what he was pointing to on the board. Tori groaned. She hadn't been paying attention at all.
Whatever he said had to be important because he had got in her face without her knowing and when she turned around she screamed. "Yo!" he hollered.
"What?!" She half whined. Her eardrums were ringing.
"Why is Tori so distracted?" he asked in a baby voice.
"I-I" She stuttered. Everyone's eyes were on her now, even Jade's. She couldn't tell the entire classroom she was having a inner batter with her emotions. Especially if it was about Jade. They'd never be friends again.
"I'm just tired," She laughed nervously. She glanced at Jade to see her raise her eyebrow. Big mistake.
"Really? Because if you were so tired, you wouldn't be staring at Jade like she's the last Ginger Fox cd." Sikowitz responded, folding his arms.
Tori stared at her teacher as a deep blush slowly rose to her face. Had it really been that obvious? "Uh..." She really didn't know how to respond to that so she said, "Can I go to the bathroom?"
Sikowitz nodded. "Sure. Go ahead. Just make sure you don't take Jade with you."
This time Jade's face was the one to tinge pink.
In the bathroom, Tori stood at the sinks, her grip so tight she thought that if she concentrated long enough the whole thing would come off. That was close. Way too close. She almost got caught. Well, she did, but she narrowly avoided being exposed to the whole class.
She was sure now, at least, that she somewhat had feelings for Jade. The bigger question was though, did Jade have feelings for her?
The door to the girls' bathroom opened and the familiar clomp of combat boots were heard. Tori didn't even half to look up to see it was Jade. She guessed was true, what they say about talking about people. Speak of the devil, and the devil shall come. Tori kept her head lowered into the sink. She didn't want to deal with the onslaught of teasings and taunts she would get from the other girl. Just because they were friends now, didn't mean Jade herself had changed.
Jade cleared her throat, forcing Tori to look up. She had tears in her eyes. "If you're going to make fun of me, then go ahead." She mumbled. "It's not like you really cared anyway."
That hurt Jade. Jade did care about Tori. It was true though, for the most part, that out of the two girls Jade was the one who didn't want this friendship the most. But she had reluctantly began to enjoy Tori's company. A lot more than Beck's. It scared her a little, but she knew it was bound to happen sometime. "I do care." She answered finally. She took Tori's face in her hands, making the tanner girl look at her. "I don't mind that you like me, but you know I'm with Beck, right?"
Tori nodded solemnly. Jade studied Tori's face. And before she knew it, Tori had leaned in, pressing their lips together. Jade wanted to tell Tori to stop, but her lips were just so soft that she couldn't help herself. They kissed for a moment and then Jade finally found the courage to push Tori off.
"I- I'm sorry!" Tori quickly apologized.
Jade patted her shoulder and smiled. "It's fine. Let's just go to lunch." She got a hold of Tori's hand and dragged her out.
The table was buzzing, with news of a friday night jam session i the Asphalt Cafe. "Are you gonna perform like you did last year?" Cat asked Andre.
"Nah. I think I'm just gonna kick it this time." He responded, shrugging.
"You should perform again, Tori." Cat says, turning to her.
"What?! No, no, no. I don't think-"
"You should do it, Vega. You never know. We could do a duet again." Jade interjected. It was the first times since they got to lunch that both girls had said anything. Adrenaline rushed through Tori's veins as she thought of the time she and Jade sung Take A Hint at Nozu. She never felt so badass in her life.
"Okay, let's do it." she smiled.
After school they spent the whole night at Tori's house. "What should we sing?" Jade asked, as she laid across Tori's bed.
Tori shrugged. "How about a love song?"
Jade stiffened. "Why a love song?"
Tori sat down next to her and shrugged. "Because no one will ever expect it." Tori said grinning. Jade had no choice but to agree. People wouldn't expect it, thats for sure, but she could also get a rise out of Beck.
On Friday, they were ready to perform. "What are you guys singing?" Robbie asked.
"It's a surprise." Tori responded, grinning at Jade. They had spend the night doing more than writing a song.
"Well I can't wait to hear it." Beck smirked, putting an arm around Jade. Tori watched as Jade stiffened under his touch. She giggled smugly. Jade was more accustomed to her touch than his now. That was a big achievement in her book.
Jade and Tori sat together on a blanket near the stage talking and laughing as performer after performer came on stage. Robbie and Rex sung Forever Baby for the bazillionth time, and Cat sung Love Love Love by Of Monsters and Men. Which was surprisingly good for being different than the pop ballads she usually did.
When it was their turn, Andre smiled as he began to play on his keyboard. As he did, Tori began to sing.
All along it was a fever,
A cold sweat hot-headed believer,
I threw my hands in the air, said show me something
He said, if you dare come a little closer
Round and around and around and around we go
Ohhh ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
She glanced at Jade, who was completely enveloped in the song. Jade opened her eyes as soon as Tori was finished and smiled at her before she began to sing her part.
It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given
Round and around and around and around we go
Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
They both looked out to the crowd to see everyone cheering for them. Smiling at each other again, they sung together.
Oohh the reason I hold on
Oohh cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
Cause when you never see the light it's hard to know which one of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
After singing the chorus for the second time, the song ended and they both bowed, the whole crowd cheering for them. They stepped down from the stage to greet their friends.
"What made you pick that song?" Beck asked, as everyone continued to talk about the night and what was to come of it.
"Oh, you know," Tori waved off. "It just came from the heart."
"Who were you telling to stay?" Cat said, glancing at Jade. Jade just sipped at her coffee, hoping Cat would move her attention to someone else. Fortunately, she did. She turned to Tori, obviously asking to answer her question.
"It's someone special." She answered with a small smile. After everyone left and Tori was dropped home thanks to Andre, She went to dig into her pocket to get her keys when she saw she had a text from Jade. She smiled as she read it, before finally finding her key and going into the house.
I'll always stay.
