The Thin Line Between Us Tori was walking around outside alone in the early morning. Everyone else was still asleep but she wasn't complaining. She laid in bed beside Jade for an hour and she wanted to lay there forever but she wanted to go swimming. Tori liked walking alone sometimes because she could listen to the sounds of nature and it was beautiful. She also liked it when it was quiet so she could think. 'Why does Jade have to make it so hard to stay away from her? When I'm with her, I can't breathe. I love her and she is making it so hard not to just push her onto the bed and-' Tori shook her head. 'No, bad me. I can't think about that right now. I shouldn't even be thinking about being with Jade...even though I want to. Ugh, why can't she just hate me? That would make everything a lot easier. Like staying away from her and not wanting to kiss her every time I look at her.' "Hey Tori, slow down!" Trina yelled as she ran over to me and was pretty much out of breath. "Hey Trina. What are you doing awake this early? Normally you are that last one to wake up." Tori said as she slowed her pace to fall into step with her sister. When Trina finally caught her breath, she said, "Jade woke me up to ask if I knew where you were. She was going to come look for you but I told her not to because I wanted to talk to you about something." Tori stopped and looked at her sister. "What's up? Wait, your not pregnant, are you? Does mom and dad know? Oh, please don't make me have to tell them." Trina slapped Tori's arm as Tori laughed. "I wanted to talk to you about last night. I was awake and I heard you and Jade talking. Why didn't you tell me that you had feelings for her?" Tori's laughed died out at the mention of last night. "Because I knew you would lecture me about having feelings for Jade. You don't have to tell me off because me and her isn't going to happen. Mom and dad might night like the fact that I'm in love with a girl." Trina put her hand on Tori's shoulder. "I'm not doing to lecture you. I think you and Jade would make a great couple. If you really love Jade, it shouldn't matter what everyone else says. If I met the one I'm supposed to be with, I wouldn't care what everyone else thought. Not even mom and dad. Let me talk to mom and dad while you get your girl. There is no doubt in my mind that our friends will stand by you." Tori hugged her sister right when it started to rain outside. Tori pulled away and then said, "You want to head back or keep walking?" Trina laughed, "Keep walking. The rain feels amazing and this kinda reminds me of the Prome." Tori smiled as they continued walking. Eventually it was pouring and they were soaked so they had to head back. Jade was standing right outside the door, waiting for them to come back. They were by the tree line when Tori looked at her sister only to see her sister nodding. Tori walked up to Jade then connected their lips. Jade uncrossed her arms from her chest then pulled Tori closer by her waist as Tori's hands were in here hair. When they pulled away, they were out of breath and still holding each other close. "I love you, Jade. I want to be with you...now." Jade smiled as she held onto Tori's shirt as if she was going to lose her. "So, is this a yes to being my girlfriend?" Tori nodded before kissing Jade again. Then they heard clapping and saw all the boys were outside and watching them. Jade and Tori smiled before jade kissed Tori again. "Your telling Cat. Ya know, because you think of cat as more of a pet then a friend." Tori said as she pulled back while watching the door to their cabin open and Cat came out with a confused look written on her face. "Hey guys. What's everyone cheering for? Oh, is Trina finally moving to a different state?" Cat asked before glancing at Jade. Jade chuckled while Tori slapped her arm. Jade winked at Tori and Tori bit her lip. "Well, Tori has agreed to be my girlfriend. What do you think, little kitten?" Cat started to jump up and down while screaming. "It's about time! I have been waiting for you two to get together for like, ever." Tori frowned. "Wait, you knew? How would you know if I didn't even know until a few days ago?" Cat shrugged. "All of us did. Except Trina because we don't really hang out but it came up in a conversation and we all thought that you would look good together." The boys and Trina finally made their way over to us. "Well, we are going to make some hot dogs before we go swimming and then a walk. Then we have to head back because we need sleep for school tomorrow." Everyone nodded before they walked off to the benches except for Tori and Jade. Jade pulled Tori closer. "Now...we don't have any distractions. And you...Are all mine." Tori kissed her before saying. "Yes, I'm yours. As long as you want me to be." Jade took her hand and then lead her over to the rest of the group. The day went by quickly for them but when they got to Tori's house, everyone wanted to be there in case things went wrong with telling her parents. Jade called her parents and told them that she needed to talk to them and asked them if they could go to Tori's house. When everyone was there, Tori began. "So, me and Jade wanted to tell you guys some news that you might not exactly like." Tori's dad was first to speak up, "Don't tell me you both are pregnant. You are just teenagers." Trina piped up. "What is with everyone thinking that we are going to get pregnant? No, no one is pregnant." Jade's father spoke up. "What is it that is so important than, Jade?" Jade froze, trying to figure out a way of saying this. "Me and Tori are..." Cat noticed that we would be here a while if she didn't do something. "They are together! They just started dating today." Jade and Tori didn't know rather to be mad at Cat or to thank her for saying what they were having trouble saying. Tori looked at everyone before nodding. "Yes, me and Jade are together." Everyone were holding their breathes before Jade's dad stood up then said, "Jade, you are just a kid. You can't be gay because you still haven't gone through life. People are going to make life hard for you and I don't want that for you." Jade's mother sighed. "And not only that. If you want to be with a girl, couldn't you pick one that isn't like...that." Jade was about to say something before Tori's father interrupted her. "Like what? Rich or because she's nothing like you guys? I love my daughter and I don't care who she's with. She hasn't broken the law so I'm OK with it." Tori's mom was the next to speak up. "I'm going to have to agree with Jade's parents. You guys are just kids and I don't think you should be making a choice like this. Not until you are older and you understand life. I'm sorry but I don't approve of this so say your goodbyes to each other." Trina stepped forward. "Well mom, it isn't really up to you. Jade and Tori love each other and they have all of us-" Trina pointed at their friends. "To stand by them if someone were to try and hurt them." Tori's father smiled. "See, the girls aren't little girls anymore and I don't think we can stop them from what they feel for each other." Tori's mom stormed out the door right before Jade's parents walked over to Jade then said, "Come on. We can talk about this at home but you are not aloud to speak with Tori until you get over what feelings you think you have." Jade shook her head. "No, I have always listened to you guys but this time I will not leave her. I love her and that isn't going to change just because you guys say that I can't be with her." Jade looked at Tori's father before asking. "Do you mind if me and our friends go and stay the night at Beck's trailer?" Tori's dad nodded before they left and got into the truck. "So, where are we actually going?" Beck asked. Jade smiled. "We are all going to a cabin by the beach. My parents bought it a while back so I go there sometimes. There is more than enough room for all of us. Call your parents and tell them that you are staying at Tori's house but in case they try to call and check on you, give them my number." After everyone made the calls and they got to the cabin, Jade and Tori was sitting by the water with their legs spread out. "What are we going to do, Jade? Your parents and my mom are never going to let us be together. I love you and I need you in my life. What if we can't ever be together because they don't think that we should? I love my parents but I love you more." Jade noticed that Tori was crying so she pulled her into a hug. "Tori, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I will always love you and my parents or your mom isn't going to change that no matter what they do. When school ends and we graduate, come with me so we don't have to be here with them. We can bring whoever wants to go with us." "I'll go with you guys." "Don't forget about me!" "Yay! We can all live together!" "I'm game." "We can use my trailer." They turned around to see all their friends standing behind them. Beck sat down next to them while everyone else was doing the same. "All of are grades are pretty much close together so if we are lucky, we can go to the same collage. We are all family so we will go anywhere with you guys." They put their arms around each other before falling back onto the sand, laughing as a wave came up and splashed them. As they were all running back to dry off, Jade pulled Tori into her and kissed her. The kiss didn't last long but it wasn't supposed to. Jade pulled away before saying. "If that isn't reassuring, I don't know what is."
