Different
It's not at all like she imagined.
She rants on and on about her father, about her stepmother and their latest fight and Tori listens. She actually listens to her with raw attention and it's just not what Jade is used to. She expected her to hold a finger up to her lips to make her shut up before she kisses her, just like Beck always used to do. But that didn't happen. Tori listens until Jade just eventually trails off and then, then Tori does something that's finally familiar to her. She gets up and kisses her. Finally, that's what she's used to. But when they break apart, she doesn't change the topic or leads her up to her room to give her an oulet for her anger. Instead she talks to her about it, tries to understand her problem and wants to find a way to make it better for her.
This is not what Jade imagined.
Her mouth spits out an insult before she can stop it. She didn't really mean to but the combination of Robbie and Rex just annoys her to no end, she just has to say something. Jade knows what comes next. She waits a moment before she finally feels Tori's hand on her thigh but no words reach Jade's ears. Confused, she turns towards her girlfriend but instead of seeing her annoyed or angry, she sees her with raised eyebrows, shooting her a disapproving look. With furrowed eyebrows Jade waits, but there's nothing but a light squeeze of Tori's hand on her leg and those eyes that urge her to be a little bit nicer. There isn't a time out, she's not getting sent to a corner and Tori doesn't apologize for her. There's nothing, just that look and that squeeze.
Definitely not what she imagined.
Jealousy was such a big part of her relationship with Beck. It's not different with Tori now either. Her hand is almost denting the metal of the door of her locker as her eyes are fixed on the blonde guy openly flirting with her girlfriend. He has no right and Jade won't accept that, even if Tori seems highly uninterested. With a loud bang, her locker slams shut and her boots make a steady thumping noise every time they hit the floor as she stalks over to Tori's locker. The attention of the guy immediately moves to Jade when she loudly clears her throat and Tori smiles lightly – she actually smiles – when Jade begins to put him in his place. He disappears down the hallway after sending Jade a glare and Jade turns to Tori with a tight frown on her face. Tori isn't annoyed. She isn't mad. She's not trying to fuel Jade's jealousy. She just smiles and rolls her eyes before kissing Jade and assuring her that she loves her. That's it.
Not what Jade imagined.
Jade never thought her relationship with Tori would differ so much from her relationship with Beck. The understanding of her jealousy and anger issues Tori gives her, while Beck always used to get annoyed at her for it and eventually, would make them even worse. Or those tender smiles Jade would receive from her. Beck never smiled at her like that. It really isn't what she imagined it would be like.
No. Actually, it is so much better than she could have ever imagined.
A/N: I don't like this one very much. Figured I post it anyway.
