What's up people of the internet ill probably never meet and or see in my entire lifetime?! I've got another chapter in the works! Well not in the works, by the time you see this it'll be done. But it's not done right now. We have two different right nows. I'M FREAKING OUT I'M FREAKING OUT! Ha, just kidding! ;D
The next morning was...strange. Jade woke up to slight pressure on her stomach, and opened her eyes to see that it was Cat. "Baby girl...you wanna tell me what you're doing, sitting on my stomach?" Jade asked, assessing her current situation.
"Oh, no reason. Your stomach is just really warm." Cat giggled. She always liked sharing a bed with Jade. Her body was abnormally warm, especially for a girl with such a dark and cold personality.
The rare times Jade reluctantly agreed to sleepover at Cat's, the redhead always made sure they shared a bed because her body heat made Cat feel safe. Even once being able to call Jade her "Dark Warm Kitty." Or DWK for short.
That was quickly put to a stop though, when Cat accidentally blurted the nickname out at their lunch table. Jade didn't like it, and let her feelings be very well known.
So now... She tries to sneak in some Jade heat whenever she can. One of those times being right now. "Well can you get off? You gained some weight and it's crushing my ribs!" Jade huffed, trying to pry the shorter girl off of her, only to make Cat throw her arms around her torso. "Cat baby, you're gonna have to let go. I need to get up and get dressed." Jade whined, feeling Cat's giggles rumble into her chest.
"I know. I just like hugging you." She smiled, and then got off of her. She threw a pillow at Jade, and giggled as Jade jumped up and ran after her with a pillow of her own.
"Oh you are so dead!" Jade shrieked, sliding across the wood floor, almost falling on her butt trying to catch up with the playful redhead.
She tripped over a stray blanket, and crashed into someone who fell from impact. When the flurry of feathers settled down, she realized who exactly she fell into. "Watch where you're going, Vega." She hissed, pushing herself off the girl.
Tori scoffed. "And since when does big bad West play pillow fights with little Cats?"
"Since prissy little Tori became a snot nosed brat!" Jade snapped, the deformed pillow in her hand creasing with the force of her balled up fist.
"Better back down, West. Don't you think it's a little too early to be this bitchy?" Tori sneered, her grin widening.
Jade lost it, and lunged at Tori, who fell from the force. "Hmm. This is an interesting position you've gotten us into, Jade." Tori smiled up at her making Jade remember the previous time they had been in this circumstance. To which she blushed and grew angry.
Pinning Tori to the floor, she sat on her abdomen and crossed her arms. "It's different this time." She smiled triumphantly.
Tori snorted. "Oh? And how is that?"
"Cause last time I didn't get to do this." Jade pulled Tori up by her pajama shirt and kissed her hard, earning a moan from the latina. The kiss was quick and satisfying, and gave the result Jade wanted to get: To catch Tori by surprise, and to throw her off her game. And it did just that, for the look in the youngest Vega's eyes were anything but cold and hard.
They danced with curiosity and excitement, awaiting Jade's next move. That's how she was going to tame this new Tori. She was going to shut her up with kisses, and treat her the way she feels like she needs Jade to treat her.
Jade wiped her mouth and climbed off of her, before picking up her now half empty pillow to resume her playtime with Cat, leaving a dazed Tori in her wake.
Later, back in the hotel room after a few hours later, Jade was strumming her guitar working on her and Tori's song when Cat ran past her and jumped over the bed, to hide on the other side. "Okay, you might wanna explain what you got yourself into, Kitty Cat?" She asked, as Cat rolled under the bed with a look of concentration cemented on her petite features. It was actually quite amusing.
No answer. Jade sighed and putting her guitar down, crawled under the bed to see her childhood friend's frantic and almost erratic state, her eyes wide; untrusting and cautious much like a frightened doe's. "What did you do?" Jade asked again, her expression uncharacteristically concerned, for Cat and Beck were probably the only people she could be concerned for- well maybe except Tori- the 'old' Tori that is.
"I kissed Robbie!" the redhead wailed, almost as if it were the worst thing on earth and it scared her the most.
"Okay... And this is a bad thing because.. ?" Jade was confused. She thought that Cat liked Robbie. Well, she knew it was the other way around. Still, she thought the feeling was mutual.
"I don't know." Cat shrugged. "He sang me another sweet song and so I just kissed him." She absentmindedly twirled a crimson strand of hair between her fingers, lost in deep thought. Well, as deep as deep can get for Cat Valentine.
Jade thought about what she had told Robbie. She told him he should take a chance, because he'd never know what could have been if he didn't. But this was Cat. She wouldn't listen to that mumbo jumbo. She wouldn't really understand the depth of what she was saying.
So, she quickly decided that talking to the girl wasn't the best answer. She was going to let Cat handle things on her own. Yes, this is Cat we are talking about, but the girl has her shining moments. Jade sighed. "Just.. explain to him that it was a spur of the moment thing. That you were caught up in the romance."
"Yeah, that's it, and then I should kiss him again?" Cat asked, her cheerfulness back to its original levels.
Jade pinched the bridge of her nose. "No, baby girl, that would make things worse and confuse the poor boy." Not that she really cares about Robbie, but being in love with someone like Cat was stress worthy enough.
"Kay kay." Cat giggled giving Jade an awkward hug before rolling out the other side of the bed. Jade rolled out from under her side and got back on the bed, soon resuming her songwriting efforts.
"Tori!" Cat squeaked, causing Jade to strum a wrong chord.
Great. She was back.
"Welcome home, idiot." Jade sneered, tuing her guitar. "Where have you been?" She cared, and yet, didn't care. She had contradictory feelings for Tori. That she was sure of.
"Not anywhere you need to know about." Tori grumbled, and then plopped down on her bed. Jade had half a mind to smack her, but controlled herself. It wasn't worth it. She was just going to let it go. For now.
"Is that song of yours done yet?" The latina asked, flipping through a manga magazine.
"You know, it's your song too. It wouldn't hurt if you helped a little." Jade said, rolling her eyes as she put her guitar down and stretched. Hearing satisfying pops from her bones, she crossed the room and grabbed a soda from the mini fridge.
"Grab me one?" Tori asked.
Jade snorted. "You're the big bad Vega. Get it your damn self."
Tori mumbled under her breath and grabbed one herself. When Jade turned around a devilish idea developed, and she threw the bottle at her head. Jade ducked in enough time for the beverage to whiz past her, hitting the wall and exploding all over it.
"What the hell is your problem?!" Jade demanded. That could have been her head!
"You're my problem! You, and everyone else!" Tori shouted, flailing her arms. "You always treat me like I'm little miss goody two shoes Tori when I'm not! I've done things that I'm not proud of, believe me, and I've been a mean person before too! I have issues just like you!"
Jade's eyes fixated on Tori's heaving chest. She had been faking the whole time. The hypnosis hadn't worked. It was all in Jade's head. Tori was just going along with it. She became a pawn in her own game. Played by her own playing piece.
Tears brimmed in Tori's eyes and she quickly wiped them away. "I used to be like you. Believe it or not, at Sherwood I was the girl everyone was afraid of. The girl guys wished to date but never could because they were too scared. I. Was. You."
Disbelief and realization flooded through Jade like an icy flow of water. Tori was acting, but not because she had studied Jade enough to be like her, but because she had been her.
That confidence, the alluring smile, the flirtatious nature. It all made sense. Jade didn't create the new Tori. Tori was being her old self.
It scared Jade. It scared her that such a nice sunshine princess of goodness could have been as dark and twisted as she was. It scared her that all this time she thought Tori was just another prissy little goody goody with no secrets that could have one like this.
She would have never thought.
And here, standing before a girl she thought she knew, she felt uncharacteristically unsafe.
"Y-You were acting the whole time?" Jade stuttered, watching Cat, who was just as weary as she was. It was obvious she wasn't in on it.
Tori nodded. "Sinjin can't hypnotize anyone to save his life." She laughed dryly.
"So why- I kissed you!" Jade shouted, anger boiling in her.
Tori nodded sadly. "I know. I like you too."
Jade didn't like where this was going. "I can't. This isn't right. I'm out." She grabbed her leather jacket and ran out before Tori or Cat could call her name.
