"It's been two weeks babe, you have to talk to her sometime you know?" said Beck, talking to Jade who was typing on her laptop.
"I am so not going to talk to her Beck. Talking in the first place was what made this happen" said Jade, not looking Beck.
"But did she asked you for time? Or you just realized she wanted time?" said the Canadian. "You kissed her and she kissed you back, that means something. You can't just keep avoiding her"
"Why you always think I'm the one being rude or something? Who says I'm the one avoiding her? My head is a mess since that freaking night. I did let things happen as you said and now she does not even look at me" said Jade, rubbing her eyes with her thumb and forefinger. "I called her sunday morning, sent her several texts and got no answer. I tried to talk to her next monday after the class we share and she just did not stop when I called her name, so, if she does not want to talk to me because I kissed her then that will be" now she was facing Beck. "So I decided that I will not look for her. I'll keep it simple. She is my class partner and that's all now. It's good this happened, so I won't suffer because of not knowing what could have been. Now I know it could've been nothing"
"You can try one more time, can't you?" asked Beck. "What else do you have to lose?"
"My already trampled dignity? 'Cause I fell really low with just text-attacking her the next morning" she answered. "Let's deal with it. It was just a kiss and that's all"
Beck wanted to argue, but he knew he would get all of Jade's rage if he kept going. He decided to leave Jade alone and go search the cause of her disgrace.
To Tori:
Hey Tori, I have a project for a class and need a hand. Can you help me?
Tori's phone buzzed, and as always since that night, she got nervous about it. She took it and read the message.
To Beck:
Hi... Sure, what about?
The answer came quickly with another buzz.
From Beck:
A photo-shoot. Can I see you on that café near your dorm?
Tori answered, took her keys and got out from the dorm. After saturday night, she got scared. Jade kissed her and for her own surprise she found herself kissing her back and enjoying the moment. The kiss was really long, they only got apart when their lungs got empty and were aching for air. After that they just sat at the edge of the building, hands locked and enjoying the view. Tori's head on Jade's shoulder all in silence. Then, decided it was late and Jade took Tori to her dorm, where the Latina kissed quickly Jade's lips before running out of the car saying nothing.
The next morning, Jade sent her several texts asking her to have lunch, if she was ok, if she wanted to talk about what happened but Tori never answered, not knowing exactly what to feel or say. Sunday passed and monday after a class she heard Jade calling her name but she kept walking. That same night she knew was being a jerk with Jade and decided to talk to her when she see her but the next two weeks, the goth did not send her another text or tried to talk -or even look- to her. And being kind of a chicken she did anything about it.
When Beck got in the cafe place, Tori was already there looking at her phone. She saw him and waved for him to find her. Once sited down and coffee in their hands they talked about some assignments and college in general. Tori found out her sister was chasing Beck -as always- and he just found it funny.
"Ok, so, what about this photo-shoot?" asked Tori. "What is it about and how is it going to be?"
"Yeeeah, about that..." Beck answered.
"You're not here for a photo shoot, I know it" said Tori. "You are here 'cause I've not talked with Jade since that night... She told you right? I mean... She tells you everything"
"I'm her friend, and since Cat is not around as often as she wish, I am Jade's shoulder" said Beck. "So, why are you avoiding her?"
"I am not!... I was... I did it for two days and then it hit me I was being an idiot with her" Tori said. "What happened... I liked it, a lot. But I got scare and didn't know what to think or do or feel and I hid from her. Monday night I decided to stop that and answer her next text or call or anything but it never came and I am such a chicken that still can't make a move..."
"You know how hard is for her to open up and you do that?" asked Beck. "I get it, you were confused but you have to talk to her, otherwise she will stand up her walls again"
"It's just hard to think Jade West likes me. How could she fell for me?" asked Tori.
"You have to ask HER not me" said Beck. "Only thing I could tell you is, the last time we got back together, she wasn't singing to me. She was singing to you but since you did not get it she gave up on letting you know"
"Whaaa-... Wait so... The friction, the smirks... The looks and... All of that was..."
"A hint" said Beck. "When I found out, I was on denial. When she told me I just hugged her. She was so altered and crying and didn't know what to do so, I just did what she needed. I stood by her"
"I was a total dork! All the signs and... Oh my god!" said Tori, covering her face with both hands.
"Tori, what would have happened if you knew then?" asked Beck. "What would you have done?"
"Done? Nothing, since you guy were together but I certainly would have fell in love..." said Tori, with no doubt.
"Would you? How are you that sure?" he asked.
"'Cause I have done that now... I just didn't know if I was right or wrong but now I am... I'm falling -if not already fell- in love with Jade West" said Tori.
"She let you in. She opened the door for you and you kind of took it out of its hinges with your run away" said Beck. "That's nothing good with Jade so, you better stop being a chicken and go to talk with her. I can take you now, she's at home glued to her computer and that's not a good sign either"
"Yes please and thank you... Take me there" said Tori.
On Jade's, she was in the studio, finishing her homework and searching for movies to rent online. Cat had called her to check on her. Jade yelled out ti leave her alone and ended the call. After another hour of typing and searching, Beck got in the studio.
"Hey, I'm just checking out" he said.
"You too? Go away!" Jade yelled.
"Ok... I'm going to buy some... Stuff. Do you need something?" he said.
"No. Leave. Now" said Jade, glaring at him annoyed.
He got out and closed the door. Jade got her attention back to the screen and few minutes later the door got open again, with a knock after that.
"Beck, I told you to leave, I don't need any stuff" said the goth " .alone! I'm fine, just go and-"
"Sorry, Beck's not at home" said a female voice. Voice that Jade knew very well. "Can we talk?"
Jade said nothing, not even looked up to Tori.
"I'm sorry Jade, so sorry. I was scared and... I have no excuse. Please, let's talk" still, no answer. "Beck told me some things -don't worry, just a few don't get mad at him- and... I can't believe how in life I could not see the signs... If I would have known then I-"
"Leave" said Jade
"What?" asked Tori.
"Leave! Leave me alone!" Yelled kicking Tori out of the studio and shutting the door closed.
