I apologize in advance for any errors.


Tori


It's just a dream...this is a dream.

Jade's leaning in again like the night before and I let her. Unlike last time, our lips meet and her hands are on my neck with her thumbs on the side of my face. I feel like I can barely breath and my heart is racing. I got one hand on cupping the side of her face and the other on her waist. She pushes me against the wall of the janitor's closet back at HA as she bites my bottom lip and my jeans get a little tighter.

When did we get here...

Unable to control myself any longer, I push her back to switch positions, but as I push her against the wall she goes through it and it all fades to black.

Fuck!

I try to scream, but nothing comes out as I realized I'm back in this car with the same three shadows and I really can't breathe at all now. My throat's burning. I cover my ears with my hands and bury my face into my knees, closing my eyes.

Stop. Stop. Stop. Wake up. Wake up. WAKE UP!

"Aaahhh!"

I screamed myself awake. Heavy breathing into my pillow, but I relax a bit. My throat feels raw and my...

I look down at the tent in my basketball shorts.

"Ugh!"

I cover my face with a pillow, not really in the mood to get off right now.

Stupid dick!


Cat


'Do you want to eat? Do you want to sleep?
Do you want to drown?
Just settle down, settle down, settle down

I'll give you candy, give you diamonds
Give you pills, give you anything you want
Hundred dollar bills
I'll even let you watch the shows you want to see
Just marry me, marry me, marry me'

It's like 7:43 in the freaking morning and what are Tori and Jade doing? Blasting this song throughout the house. You'd think it'd at least be Christmas music since its December an all, which reminds me we really need to get on our decorating... None the less, it's actually hilarious and who doesn't love this song. Random really, but funny.

I'm sitting back watching Tori and Jade, we're in the kitchen by the way. Jade's got her 90's Breakfast Club dance moves on and it's impressive. I swear only Tori could get Jade to dance like this, THIS early in the morning or just in general actually.

Has she even had her coffee yet?

Watching Tori and Jade was like watching the unofficial couple on a tv show that you and the rest of the fandom shipped, even the writers shipped the couple, but it would never actually happen because it'd be against the networks guidelines because the couple is, I don't know, the same gender or some shit and society just isn't at that level of acceptance yet, so the writers just discretely imply that 'Yes we ship this couple so hard and we're doing every thing possible to throw it in the network's face without getting pulled off the air' and of course only the tv show fandom would catch that message.

Did that make sense? My point is, I just want them to freaking date already. Like hello, you're in love, I'm not sure how you haven't noticed this yet! They're so adorable it makes me want throw up rainbows and unicorns.

Oh God, now they're singing. Now they're pulling me up to join them. UGH! I can't resist!

"I gave you candy, gave you diamonds
Gave you pills, I gave you anything you want
Hundred dollar bills
I even let you hear the songs I want to sing
I gave you anything anything anything

I'll give you anything, anything, anything
I'll give you anything, anything, anything
Anything, anything, anything!"

We all fall to the floor laughing at each other as the song fades out.

"Okay that was like...the most random way... to start the day."

I say, still trying to catch my from laughing. Tori looks over at me doing the same.

"Yes, but the random way...is the best..way."

"I need coffee!"

There's the Jade I know and love.

"Well, go make you some coffee!"

Tori says in a weird man-mocking voice...

..idk.

Jade's just glaring at her.

"Seriously, we just moved in last night. We have nothing Vega."

"Oh right..."

Jade rolls her eyes and I just shake my head before I sit up.

"Guess were going food shopping! I'll start the making the list. Let's see...we need eggs, milk, fruit, veggies, Bibble-"

"NO!"

I cringe at both Tori's and Jade's response.

"Okay, okay...I won't get eggs..."

"Cat."

Jade deadpans. I throw my hands up in defeat.

"Fine! You guys make list. No fun, for Cat."

Jade smiles in triumph and Tori just chuckles at me.

About 30mins later we're all dressed in sweats or warm, comfy related clothes. I just remembered something.

"Yooo...how're we ganna do this 'cause Tori's famous and...yeah.."

I made awkward hand gestures when I said that.. Jade and Tori just stare at me and then look at each other.

"Umm...wait it's like...Wednesday and it's only 8:52am. We should be fine if we wear beanies or hoods and sunglasses. The only people that go grocery shopping this early are the retired."

Tori just shrugs.

"Yeah, tue...and as long as no one recognizes Cat's red velvet hair that screams, 'I'm Cat Valentine, best friend of Tori Vega and Jade West,' then yeah, we should be fine."

Such Sarcasm.

I frown, narrowing my eyes on Tori, while Jade McChuckles over there covers her mouth with her hand.


Tori


The store is pretty bare so I'm pretty sure we're safe. I'm pushing the cart down the junk food aisle and Cat is up ahead looking at cookies as Jade looks at the boxes of Oreos and catches my attention, but she never takes her eyes of the cookies.

"So... did you hook up with a girl last night?"

She asks in calm, kind of disinterested tone.

Uhhh...that was out of left field

"Ummm...we just moved in last night? I was with you guys?"

I'm confused.

"Oh, really...because you kinda smell like a certain girl that goes by the name of Mary Jane."

She says in that 'as a matter of fact voice,' and finishes it off with a knowing smirk as she drops a package of Oreos into the cart.

I got it now, I'm not...yeah, o-kay. She got me.

You're living in some serious denial if you're shocked that I smoke weed. We all went to a preforming arts school in LA, like...yes, we've all smoked the minimum of weed. I rather eat it though. I kinda like my lungs.

"It was the last I had, okay."

"I really think you need to see someone about your dreams. Seriously."

It's not often I or anyone else sees the serious, caring side of Jade, but when you do, you know she's worried.

I let out a sigh.

"I know, it's just. I have so much going on. I know I'm back home and all, but I have to be back in the studio tomorrow and rehearsals for the iHeart Radio Christmas Ball and the music video and the documentary. It's just a lot going on till after New Years, ya know.."

Honestly, I'm terrified.

"Yeah, okay."

"I'll be fine though, I promise."

Just as Cat joins us again, my phone buzzes.

Sutton Mercer sent a text

'Still on for today?'

"Are you going to see her?"

I look up at Jade then Cat.

"Umm... Yeah, I think I need to."

During the rest of our food hunting Jade was weirdly quiet. Cat noticed too, but we never verbally acknowledged it.

Tori Vega sent a text

'On my way'

I pull up to the Mercer home in my Lambo and park, not really moving after that.

"It's just for closure. Nothing more...yeah."

I sigh as I grab my phone and keys and walk up to the door to ring the bell. Soon enough I'm faced with my estranged ex.

"Hey."

She's still hot...beautiful...no. Focus, you're focused.

"Hey."

She opens the door wider for me to come in.


Jade


"Ugh, Tmz already posted about Tori being at Sutton's house."

"What do you think they're talking about?"

I actually don't want to think about this.

"Who cares. We should get a Christmas tree...and maybe decorate. Who knows how long she'll be gone and although I love this house, it's not exactly 'homey' yet."

Cat shrugs.

"Sounds good to me."

"We may need some man power..."

I tap my chin with my phone while in thought.

15mins later I'm driving my Escalade with Cat and we picked up a good friend of ours, Ricky Underwood, and we're on our way to get a tree.

"How about this one?"

I shake my head at Cat. The three of us mindlessly walk through the tree lot.

"So how's that writing going, you got anything in the works?"

Ricky nudges me and grins. I return a smile.

"Uhh.. it goes...Actually I'm up for this part on this famous tv show. I can't really tell you what it is, but they basically said I have the part already."

I bite my bottom lip to hold back the stupid smile forcing it's way out.

"What?! That's great! I bet Tori is crazy happy for you."

"She hasn't told her yet."

Thank you, Cat.

"Why not?"

"I just haven't found time."

Bullshit.

"Plus, I don't really want to say anything till I know for sure, ya know?"

Ricky's studying me, I can feel it.

"Well... You're going to get it because you're amazing and they'd be stupid not to give you a part. I can't wait to watch you on tv every week."

He wiggles his eyebrows and I can't hold back the urge to eye roll at him.

"Hey! What about this one!?"

Mine and Ricky's faces drop when we look at the tree Cat is standing next to.

Shit, how is that even going to fit on my SUV?

"Would that even fit in your guys' house?"

Cat and I look at each other with a knowing look. Cat starts to giggle.

"You need to see our house."

I nod.

"HOLY SHHHHHH-You live here?!"

Cat's pretty much dying laughing at Ricky's expression. Luckily, there were people at the tree lot that actually deliver and set up ten foot trees.

"Wait till you see the inside."

I smirk.

"Okay, how do I get be your roommate, like what do I gotta do to live here?"

"No such luck, boy."

"Can't blame a guy for trying."

"Our tree looks good...and naked."

Ricky and I look at Cat with an amused expression.

"Hey, do you guys got a ladder 'cause this tree is ganna stay a naked tree if we can't even reach."

"I think we might have one in the garage."

I point to the door down the hallway.

"Okay, cool."


Tori


"...I guess I understand."

"This is so fucked up. I'm sorry I didn't handle better. I'm sorry I hurt you, Tori.."

"Hey, I'm sorry I made you feel that way. Maybe we're just better as friends."

"Agreed. Friends who on occasion hook up."

I can't help, but laugh at Sutton as she nods at her own statement.

"Sure Sutton."

"So... About that other thing..."

I sigh.

"Yeah, I'm actually, maybe, kind of just realizing that now and the whole thing is just confusing, really. I don't know if it even matter how I feel though, ya know?"

"Tori, I think that it'll all work out the way it's supposed to."

"I suppose you're right. I wouldn't really know what to do anyways."

We smile at each other for awhile before I stand up from the couch.

"I guess I should go. I gotta get home soon and do something before Selena's party. Are you going?"

Selena, as in Selena Gomez, yes. She's having a Christmas party tonight. Sutton looks at me with a mischievous smile.

"I might be."

I shake my head at her.

"Here, I'll walk you out so the media can 'discretely' take pics of us and write an article on how we're back together again.

This girl. Ah, yeah that's the girl I fell for in the first place, not that diva girl.

Sutton walks me out to her car and we hug. I kiss her on the cheek before pulling away.

"See you later, Sutton."

"Later, Vega."

She walks away and pauses a moment to look over her shoulder and then continues to go back inside. I'm not sure if she knows how to do anything other than argue or flirt. I always thought she reminded me of...

Damn media stalkers.

I quickly hop in my car and take off.

As soon as I walk into my living room I realize I don't remember a ten foot tree growing in my house.

"Tori, do you like the christmas tree we picked out?"

Cat smiles at me and I nod.

"It's huge. It's awesome."

"Hey Tori."

"Ricky! What're you doing here?"

He hugs me and I pull away to see Jade has finally joined us.

"I was just helping these two get a tree, but I wasn't much help considering the thing is ten feet."

"It was Jade's idea, actually."

Cat points out. Jade just shrugs.

"Well, it's awesome."

"Yeah, so how was the she-devil?"

I roll my eyes at Jade.

"She's not a she-devil. It was good. We're just going to stay friends and that's that."

I sit on a nearby couch as do the others except Ricky, who's looking at his phone.

"Well, my buddy is here. I'll see you all tonight!"

"Bye!"

We all call out as he walks out.

"I totally for got about the party tonight."

Cat pulls out her phone.

"Is Justin going? I mean I know it's been like two or three years, but.."

"Yeah, he said he'd come over here around eight."

"Jade, would you like to be my-"

"No."

She deadpans. I'm a little caught off guard.

"Fine, you can walk bitch."

"I have my own car you dork."

Cat's laughing now. I exaggerate a dramatic sigh and look everywhere, but Jade.

I can feel Jade's eyes on me as I stand up and head upstairs.

"Where are you going?"

I hear Jade call out.

"To get ready!"

Suddenly, Jade walks in on me while I'm just in my underwear and sports bra. She leans on my dresser right in front of me as I pull my jeans on, but when I stand up straight to zip them up I'm faced with Jade, only inches away, staring at me.

"What?"

I barely breathe out.

"You know I was just messing with you right?"

"Yeah, you're always just messing with me Jade. I've known you my whole life remember?"

That came out a little more bitingly than I intended. I could see Jade flinch at my words for a brief second, but she quickly covered it up.

I look down to zip up my pants, but I stop again when I notice Jade inch closer. My eyes instantly drawn from her eyes to her lips and I'm very aware of my quickening heart and shallow breathing.

"Jade?"

She bites her lip. I can feel my dick start to wake up and start to push past my jeans.

"I'm sorry. I know I do that a lot, I just..."

"Guys are you almost ready!"

Cat's voice makes us jump apart faster than lightning. I turn around just in time to zip up my pants and fuck it hurts, just as Cat enters my room. She instantly stops and studies us.

"Yes, Cat. I'm just helping Tori pick out her clothes."

Venomous Jade is here to speak again.

"Alright, geez. Justin's here so we'll meet you guys there."

"See ya Cat."

I nod her off. I turn around to find Jade in my closet pulling out a shirt.

"You should wear this, this jacket, and this."

I nod at Jade's choices with approval.

The girl does have style.

"Are you changing your career to Personal Stylist?"

I wiggle my eyebrows at her teasingly, earning myself my own clothes thrown in my face.

"Put your clothes on, Vega."

Jade hides a small smile, but I catch it. I do as she 'commands.'

"Ready?"

"Yup."

I pop my 'P' as I grab my keys.

I open the car door for Jade before getting in myself and we take off.
