Chapter 7
A/N: Hello, so I'm updating now, because I had an idea and I got nothing else to do. So how's your week's been so far? Is you okay? Is you good? Yay, we're all unicorns here, so feel free to review with your thoughts, questions, etc. Is it too much to ask for 50 reviews? Anyways guys, last chapter, Jori almost kissed, they would eventually, but somebody yelled at them before they could even do anything, and you're about to find out. Peace Out!
Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious, somebody else does, although it'd be pretty awesome if I owned Victorious, cause then I'd be able to make Jori happen. However I DO NOT own it so… my dreams are crushed.
Tori's POV
"TORI?!" I heard a voice scream from the top of the stairs. As I quickly pushed Jade away, I turned to face my very confused sister. "Trina, this isn't what it looks like!" I said although I think she had a hard time believing me. "What? Were you two not about to kiss? Well excuse me, but you were less than an inch apart. It pretty much looks like what I think that know that you don't think I know that is going on!" Did that even make sense? Just a bit… but she was right, there really was no explanation for Jade and I almost kissing. "We can explain this, Trina" Jade said, snapping out of her shock. "Oh can you really Jade?! You hate my sister, and you think that whatever that almost was has a logical explanation?" she said now right beside us. "Well yeah" I said rubbing the back of my neck, looking at Jade for any kind of possible answer we could give her. "Trina,-" I started, but Jade cut me off "WE'RE DATING" Jade yelled, running over my answer. WHAT? I thought we agreed (silently) to come up with a different explanation. "You're joking right?" Trina said, looking back and forth between the two of us, but we both kept a straight face, and didn't show any sign of lying. "You have gotta be kidding! Tori hates you, and you hate Tori! You've been trying to mess up her life ever since she got into Hollywood Arts!"
Jade's POV
Yes, I did say that Vega and I are dating, we would eventually "come out" as a couple, but telling Trina, didn't seem like the best idea right then. Now, we just had to convince her we were serious about this. "Okay, maybe I did try to make Tori's life hell for the past 2 years, but over the summer, while we were hanging out with out with our friends, something just clicked between us, and…" I managed to say with a somewhat dreamy look in my eyes. Tori, caught on to what I was doing and she walked over to me and put a hand around my waist sending a few sparks up my spine. "Yeah, I guess we kinda fell into liking each other. You know what they say, your biggest enemy is the person that you care most about, or you wouldn't even bother with them…" she said with a kind look in her eyes, almost as she was relieving that made up moment.
Trina just stared at us, for a long time. For like after what seemed like 1 hour, Vega finally spoke "Trina, are you gonna say something…?" she asked "This is lot to take in. For starters, I didn't think you BOTH were gay, but how do I know you're not just messing with me? How do I know this is not just some other prank?" she said suspiciously. That, I didn't think about "Can't you just take our word for it Trina? We're not rushing into anything so soon, we have only been together for a month or so. We're not ready to come yet" Jade said.
We stood there for a moment of silence. Vega and I took a seat, waiting for Trina's reply, but she seemed to be thinking really hard. Wow who knew she had a brain? Vega suddenly removed her arm from my waist and took my hand intertwining our fingers. Something about it bothered me, but at the same time it didn't. It kinda made me feel, well I guess you could say: happy, or something related. The thing was, I didn't know if I was actually happy, or if it just annoyed me.
"Okay, I'm gonna buy this, but just because Tori a goody goody and she never lies, and if you two are really together, then I'll skin you alive if you EVER hurt my little sister, got it?" she said pointing her finger in my face. "Got it" I said holding my breath a little, she actually scared me a little, me, Jade West. I quickly shook it off in time to see Trina go to the kitchen.
"What was that?!" Vega yelled whispered "I don't know, I didn't think it was a good idea to tell her right now about the Challenge, or even if she's the one we're gonna tell" I yelled whispered back "You thought it was a pretty good idea this morning. Why couldn't we just tell her? It would've been much easier that going through that!" she said "Yeah, but I panicked ok!?" I said. Vega had a surprised look on her face, and I realized what I'd said. "The great Jade West panics. Never thought I'd see the day it happened." She said with a sincere smile on her face. I looked at Vega for a second. She was beautiful tonight, how had I not seen it before, the weirdest part was that I hadn't even realize that she didn't even try to look cute. She just did. And then, out of the blue, I burst out laughing. Why? I don't know. I just started laughing, and then I realized that Tori was also laughing. Both of us laughing for no apparent reason. Soon, I was throwing my head back in laughter, Vega with her head on my lap, squirming. We were both laughing, enjoying it.
Trina's POV
Jade and Tori. Dating. Those were the two words that you'd never expect to hear in the same sentence. Although it was their choice to do whatever they wanted. I had a hard time believing it, but I gave in. None of them showed any sign that they were lying, they were good actresses, but I don't know… Something just didn't feel quite in place. After my brief argument with them. I went to the kitchen to get me some orange juice. I thought I heard them arguing about something, very quietly, but probably because they had just come out to me or something. And suddenly, I start to hear laughter, and when I look back at the couch, both girls are laughing so much they're crying. I grabbed my cup, and headed off to my room again.
At the top of the stairs I stopped, and looked back. They'd stopped laughing, and now Tori had her head in Jade's lap, and they seemed to be talking about something. After half a minute staring at the couple, I noticed two things: Jade was playing with my sister's hair and Tori had what seemed like a genuine smile on her face. I don't think I've ever seen her this in a long time, and if Jade was the cause of it, then I would fully support them.
"You know, you guys actually do make a cute couple" I said quietly enough for both of them to hear, as I headed to my room
Tori's POV
"You know, you guys actually do make a cute couple" I heard my sister say quietly, just loud enough for us to hear. I thought about it. We did make a cute couple. Actually I was thinking about it just now. When Sikowitz said we'd have to become a couple, we both got angry at him, not because we were going to be a same sex couple, which would be the usual problem for most teens, but because it was the two of us. Tori Vega and Jade West, frenemies. "She's right Jade" I said twiddling with my hands "We do make a pretty cute couple". A smile came on Jade's face , before she spoke "We don't we? Who would ever think both of us could actually get along… I mean, we're both very good looking, and good actresses. We can pull this off" She said twirling a strand of my hair with her finger. Wait, did she just give me a compliment? "Jade…" I started "Yeah" she replied, looking down "Did you just give one, no, two compliments?" I said. Her blue eyes widened, but she quickly snapped back "I'm supposed to be a nice person right? Especially with my new "girlfriend". It's the whole point of this anyways. For us to stop fighting and get along for once" she Jade, locking her icy blue eyes, with mine. Her eyes were crazy beautiful, and so was she. Her eyes, were a shade of blue that could just make you melt, not like mine that were a light shade of brown. She sensed something was wrong "Are you ok?" she asked, with a somewhat concerned look in her eyes "Yeah. Hey, wanna watch a movie?" I asked, changing back to my happy self. "Sure" she said.
I reluctantly got up from the couch, suddenly feeling all the warmth from my body go away. I chose a movie at random, pressed play, and quickly jumped back on the couch on the spot next to Jade. The trailers were from old movies, so I guess I'd picked an "old" movie. The title "10 Things I Hate About You" flashed on the TV. We watched the movie and at about 7 o'clock, the movie ended and my parents arrived. They didn't pay much attention to us. They knew I didn't like when they hung around in the living room when my friends were around.
We decided to watch another movie. Jade got to pick this time, and while she did so, I made us some popcorn and got us some soda. She'd picked The Breakfast Club, ironically, we'd been in a similar situation last year, when us and our groups got detention, and had to spend the entire Saturday at school. Jade and I had even spent 5 extras detentions together, because of absolutely no reason. Our principal was kinda crazy. Before we knew it, the movie was over, and we just put another movie in. I guess you could say we watches 3 movies between 5 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
We looked at the time: 11:30 p.m. "Man! My dad will kill me. My curfew is 10:30" She started gathering her things, but I stopped her before she could head out the door. "Why don't you stay over, it's really late. Why don't we call your dad, say you fell asleep at a friend's house, and they asked you to stay over because it was late. Technically, we're not gonna be lying" I said kinda hoping she would stay, I didn't exactly want her to leave. I felt good with her around, for some reason. "Okay" she said dialing her dad's number. She talked to him and in about a minute and a half she hung up. "He wasn't mad. He was working and he didn't realize that I wasn't home yet." She said with a sad expression. I could tell her dad was a difficult subject for her, especially after that car accident that had gotten Jade's mom killed when she was little. "C'mon" I said leading her up the stairs and up to my room.
I took a short shower, brushed my teeth, left a new brush for Jade to brush her teeth, got my pj's on and laid down on my king size bed. Jade went in after me, and about 5 minutes after, she poked her head of the bathroom "Vega, I don't have anything to wear" I got off my bed and took out a pair of pj's for her to wear. She came out a couple of minutes later, wearing my pajamas. Her hips were a bit exposed, and so, I caught a glimpse of a butterfly tattoo on her right hip. She laid down on the opposite side of the bed and we brought the covers up to our waists. We were turned away from each other. "Night Jade" I said, closing my eyes "Night Vega" she replied "Oh and by the way, nice tattoo" I said with a smirk on my face. I could feel Jade tense up behind me, but she shook it off and drifted off to sleep before I could. Two days down, and about 110 days to go.
A/N: Did you like this chapter? Over 2,000 words, feeling pretty proud of myself. I didn't want to stop really. I spent 2 hours writing this chapter. Please make sure you review because that would make me very happy. I'll try to post another chapter this week, maybe later in the week cause I have to study for finals and stuff. So, good night, morning, evening, afternoon wherever you are.
