"How are you so sure that she will live up to your expectations if you meet her?" Andre asked Tori as they sat in Sikowitz's class.
"When I meet her, and I know because someone with a voice as sweet as that has got to have a beautiful soul and you should see the way she is with Danni. She puts all older sisters to shame. Although considering Trina it's not that hard." Tori laughed.
Tori looked across the room to see Jade sitting… alone, Beckless. "Hay have you noticed something weird about Jade and Beck."
"I think they broke up." Andre comented
"Again?"
"Yeah, Beck doesn't know why though. He said that she seemed… giddy when it happened."
"Jade giddy weird." Tori said "Anyways back to Lauran."
"You're obsessed."
"Shut up."
Meanwhile across the room Jade sat in silence. Her mind constantly wondering to the break up and why. She knew didn't expect to break it off with Beck again, but when she looked at Tori in the hall, it gave her the strength to break it off.
Jade used her peripheral vision to stare at Tori who was talking to Andre. "Why is it that I can't get you out of my head" Jade thought. Jade remembered the first time she ever saw Tori. Shockingly it wasn't the first day she came to Hollywood Arts. About two months before Tori came to H.A. Jade saw her at Skybucks. Jade had gotten a job there for a short period of time and Tori would constantly go in for Coffee and an apple crumble. Every day she came in it was the same thing, one decaf and one apple crumble. Even though Tori never noticed her Jade got used to seeing her there. She always smiled because she never saw anyone dip an apple crumble in a coffee before Tori.
After a while Jade noticed that she started to fall for this girl. Jade knew her name only because that was the name on her coffee cup order. She probably gave her, her coffee a dozen times but she never noticed just a simple smile and "thanks". Jade came to the realization that this Tori girl was starting to make her walls crumble every time she walked through the door. She knew then that if she ever let her in then she would melt.
A week before the Tori came to Hollywood Arts Tori was having her coffee and Jade was smiling every time the crumble took a swim. Tori was transfixed on a book in her hand. Jade went to the back to get more cups, because her manager Albert was too lazy to get off his ass and do it himself. When Jade came back she looked over at Tori's table in hopes to catch her smiling at her book. But when she found that a boy was interrupting her reading she was concerned. Not because of the interruption, but because of the look on Tori's face.
"I told you Eric I don't want to see you anymore, you're an ass and you cheated on me" Tori said with anger in her voice. Tori stood up and started packing up her stuff.
Jade's fists clenched and she wanted to walk up to that guy and beat the crap out of him for upsetting Tori. But Tori just left him at the table.
Jade didn't see her for the next couple of days and she was concerned. She knew that she was with Beck, but Beck didn't make her feel the way that this Tori girl did, even though she never really talked to her.
Four days past since Tori had the fight with that Eric guy and Jade was worried. Jade was making a Frappuccino when she read the name on the cup "Eric". When Jade turned to had the cup over she saw the guy that was bothering Tori.
"Eric" Jade called out.
"Here" he replied as he walked up to the counter.
Jade noticed that he was eyeing her up and down.
"You were in here the other day weren't you" Jade said to him with a fake flirtatious voice.
"Yeah I was; you noticed me?" he asked as he leaned on the counter checking her out again.
"Yeah I did" Jade said as she grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled. Before Eric could notice what she was doing, Jade poured his hot coffee down his shirt.
"AH!" he cried in pain "what the fuck?"
Before Jade could say anything Albert called out "Jade!" when Jade turned she saw her boss staring angrily at her.
Jade was fired that day and she thought that she would never see her again. That is until about a week later, when she showed up at Hollywood Arts, rubbing up on her boyfriend no less.
Jade wanted to keep the two apart because she knew that Beck had already taken a fancy to her, and it was only a matter of time before she would discover feelings for him. It sickened her every time she acted mean toward Tori. But it was the only way to keep them apart. She went to an acting school so it was very easy to convince everyone that she didn't like Tori. She broke up with Beck so many times because she couldn't handle being with his arm around her when right across the room or table sat the girl that held her heart and soul. But every time they broke up Beck would start to head for Tori and it killed her, so she would get back with him to keep them apart. Granted it wasn't a full proof plan but it kept them away from each other.
The fall back now is that Tori thinks that Jade hates her, the complete opposite actually. She broke up with Beck yesterday because she couldn't handle it anymore. If he is going to go for Tori then it might as well be a fight to the death, most likely hers. It will be a hard battle to fight.
"Sorry I'm late class" Sikowits said as he walked into class, snapping Jade back from her memories. "Today we are going to do something easy for some of you and hard for others. Why? Because I lost my original plan and this was the best back up."
"Typical" Jade thought
"What's the project" Andre asked.
"You are going to come up here on stage and show us how you feel at this very moment." Sikowitz said.
"Sounds fun" Tori said
"Tori, how would you like to go first?" Sikowitz asked
Tori smiled as she jumped up on stage. She took a breath before she started to sing
"I'm not surprised, not everything last
I've broken my heart so many times
I've stopped keeping track
I've talked myself in
I've talked myself out
I get all worked up then I let myself down
I try so very hard not to lose it
I've came up with a million excuses
I thought I've thought of every possibility
And I know someday it will all turn out
You'll make we work
So we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid
That I'll give so much more then I get
I just haven't me you yet"
As Tori sang Jade closed her eyes and listened. From outside her mind it probably looked like she was sleeping. But in reality she was picking up on every single syllable that Tori was singing.
"I might have to wait
I'll never give up
I guess its half timing
And the other half's luck
Where ever you are
Whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere
And into my life
And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby you love is going to change me
And now I can see every possibility
And somehow I know it'll all turn out
And you'll make me work
So we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid
I'll give so much more then I get
I just haven't met you yet
I just haven't met you yet
Oh I'll give so much more then I get
Oh I just haven't met you yet" Tori ended the song on a sweet note.
"Well done Tori" Sikowitz praised. "Why don't you choose my next victim?"
Tori looked around the room. Her eyes fell on Jade who looked as if she were sleeping.
"How about Jade" Tori said with a smile.
"Perfect" Sikowitz said
"What?" Jade asked shocked
"You heard us Jade, get your ass up her" Tori smirked.
As Jade walked up to the stage she past Tori. Jade noticed how beautiful her brown eyes were, they haven't changed at all since Skybucks.
"Ok Jade how do you feel?" Sikowitz asked as he sipped from his coconut.
Jade didn't want to show how she really felt because Tori in the room already had a massive effect on her. So she did the first thing to pop into her head.
Now Jade didn't like to sing in public, not because she couldn't she has before. But after a couple of events that has happened with in the last two years she just didn't feel secure to sing anymore.
She gave a smirk before she started to sing
"Well you filled up my head
With so many lies,
Twisted my heart
'Til something snapped inside
I'd like to give it one more try
But my give a damn's busted
You can crawl back home
Say you were wrong
Stand out in the yard
And cry all night long
Go ahead and water the lawn
My give a damn's busted"
This was Tori's first time actually hearing Jade sing. Tori realized then that her voice was… so … aggressive.
"I really wanna care
I wanna feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper
No, sorry...nothing
You can say you've got issues
You can say you're a victim
It's all your parents fault, I mean
After all, you didn't pick 'em
Maybe somebody else has got time to listen
My give a damn's busted
Well you're therapist says
It was all a mistake
A product of the Prozac
And your codependent ways
So, who's your enabler these days?
My give a damn's busted"
Tori thought that Jades voice was strong, aggressive and angry.
"I really wanna care
I wanna feel something
Let me dig a little deeper
No, still nothing
It's a desperate situation
No tellin' what you'll do
If I don't forgive you
You say your life is through
C'mon, give me something I can use
My give a damn's busted
Well...
I really wanna care
I wanna feel something
Let me dig a little deeper
No, man...sorry"
As Jade sang Tori noticed that it was nothing like Lauran's.
"Just nothing...no
You've really done it this time..ha ha
My give a damn's busted"
Lauran's voice was sweet, soulful, rich, and full of love.
"Jade's voice is nothing like Lauran's" Tori thought.
