DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VICTORIOUS. This chapter is from Tori's POV.
Chapter 7
The First Time
I haven't heard from Jade since the afternoon when we went to the police department to identify Beck's body. Robbie texted I, saying that she went to stay at his place. I felt okay with that. As long as Jade doesn't cut Robbie to pieces with her scissors when he is sleeping.
I must admit, that I was worried about Robbie. Jade constantly insults him and makes him miserable. The idea of Jade spending the night at Robbie's did not bode well for me. But that wasn't the only reason I was worried. Jade and I had been 'girlfriends' for 2 days and are trying to have a relationship that'll work for both of us. I don't know why I love her. But I do a lot. Maybe it's because of her rebellious nature and her 'fuck you' attitude. As for her loving me, her reason is to feel alive. I can't say as I blame her. Losing Beck must have hit her hard. I just wish I could take away all her pain.
That night, I went to bed around 1, after finishing my Theatre History assignment. It took me awhile to fall asleep, because I worried about what I would dream. What if Jade kills Robbie or harms him?
Fortunately, I didn't dream of Robbie getting mutilated or sliced up by Jade. I think I dream about Jade, but I don't remember too well.
I woke up the next day at 6 as usual to prepare for school. I took a nice, soothing shower, which helps remove any sleep still stuck in me. After showering and drying myself off, I get dressed and get ready to make eggs for breakfast in the kitchen. Mom had made a novelty omelet for herself, again. At least there are enough eggs for me.
After scrabbling the eggs and shoving them down my throat and drinking my coffee which I made while I was making breakfast, I made my way to my room again to gather all my things for school. TGIF! Gathering all my stuff, I prepare to leave my room when my cell phone goes off from a text message. Pulling it out of my pocket, I check to see the text. It was from Jade.
Robbie is still alive. I'll see you at school, Vega. Well, that's a good thing. I think when I read the first sentence. I hope she didn't slice him up though. She may not have to kill him, but hurt him pretty badly. I'll find out soon.
As usual, Trina and I leave together for school, with her deafening singing that is making my eardrums beg me to shut her up. At least the drive to Hollywood Arts is very short.
We arrive at school 15 minutes before the bell rings for first period. As Trina parks her car, still singing, I look to the front entrance of the school, where I see Jade standing there holding her coffee, looking around for me. I smile, as I will be with her soon. Thankfully, she has an excellent voice. I think trying to 'drown out' Trina's voice. Trina finally stops singing when we leave the car, apparently had her daily vocal warm up. As we approach the front doors, I head towards Jade, who has an uneasy look on her face.
"Hey you!" I chime at Jade, who turns and attempts to smile, to no avail.
"Hey, we need to talk about something." She greets, looking around nervously.
"Sure. What's up?"
"Not here; the janitor's closet." Her whisper was so faint, I could barely hear her. She grabbed my hand with a deathlike grip and led me inside towards the janitor's closet. I had to walk a little faster to conceal our holding hands. We approach the closet, where Jade drops my hand to wrench open the door and went inside. I followed, closing the door behind me and turning the lights on.
"Are you okay? You look uneasy." I ask her, looking into her worried emerald eyes.
"I don't know where to start," she began. She seems to think about what she is going to say for a while, which is unusual for Jade. She looked directly at me.
"Robbie knows about the 2 of us." Jade said simply. What the fuck?! I think. How can he know about us?
"How the fuck does Robbie know about us?!" I ask exasperated.
"He saw us kiss on the sidewalk on the night Beck's body was found." She explains. I groan out loud. Jade grabs my hand and gently squeezes it to reassure me. It didn't work.
"Shit. What do we do?" I look at Jade for guidance, but she shook her head slowly, equally perplexed. We stayed in the closet, lost in thought. The 2 of us were so worried about Robbie's knowledge about us that we didn't pay attention to the time. The bell rang, making us both jump, and we looked at the time, it was time for second period, which we had together as our Theatre History.
"We should get to class," Jade replied, her voice cracked from not speaking for quite some time.
"Yes. We'll discuss this afterschool." I replied. Jade nodded.
The rest of the day goes by painfully slow. Classes seem distant and the teachers seem to drone on and I couldn't stop thinking about what Jade said.
I go to the janitor's closet after putting my books in my locker and wait for Jade. She arrives a few minutes later.
"Hey," I greet her, forcing myself to smile. She smiled weakly at me. I think she had trouble finding her voice, which was a first for Jade. I hope we can finish our conversation from earlier. I think. Jade must have been thinking the same thing.
"I want to finish our conversation from earlier," She started. I nodded in agreement, worry on my face. I take a deep breath and begin to speak.
"How was Robbie in your other classes today?" I inquire.
"His usual self, bar Rex."
"He didn't have Rex with him?"
"Nope. He didn't have Rex with him either when he talked to me last night." She continued. Robbie without Rex for a whole day? I think. That is very unusual.
"Could have Beck's death affected him?" I ask, rather stupidly.
"Anything's possible, although I doubt that would have affected him that much."
We pondered for a while before we left school for the parking lot. Trina, oblivious to the fact that I was still at school, had left, without bothering to text me. Bitch. I think as I find her car missing and no recent texts from her. Jade, who was heading towards her car, noticed that I didn't have a ride. So she called me over and offered to give me a ride home. I agree, adding that we still need to finish our conversation about Robbie.
The ride home is ominously quiet, not including the heavy metal that usually plays from Jade's car speakers. Eventually, she pulls up to my driveway and puts the car into park.
"So, what are we going to do about Robbie?" Jade asks. I shrug.
"I'll talk to him tomorrow." I suggest. Jade seems to think this was acceptable.
"How about us?" She asks.
"We shouldn't let Robbie get in the way." I reply and Jade agreed. She leaned over and kissed me on the lips. I kiss back passionately. After we break apart reluctantly, I reach in the back seat to grab my bag and open my door and climb out.
"Wait Vega!" Jade called back. I lean my head in the car.
"Yeah?"
"Are you sure you want to do this? As in you and I?" She probes.
"You're having second thoughts?"
"No…" She said, though her tone suggested she didn't believe herself. I drop my bag and climb back into the car, closing the door behind me.
"You're having second thoughts because of Robbie." It was a statement.
"What? No!" She replies exasperated.
"No, you are. You're actually letting him get to you. And you're supposed to be the hardest one to get to."
"That's absurd!" She shouts.
"Is it?!" I shout, even louder. She closes her eyes as if realizing that she shouldn't have started this conversation.
"Okay, you're right, Vega; I think Robbie did get to me. And I'm sorry for starting this."
"That's okay. As long as Robbie doesn't pull anything." I reply quickly before bidding her goodnight and leaving the car. I grab my bag off the concrete and head towards the front door. As I unlock the door and open it, I turn to see Jade pulling out and leaving. I then try to forget about the day as I go inside. But, I didn't expect the events of this evening.
It is 7 in the evening. Mom left a few minutes ago to go shopping at the grocery and Trina is shopping for more clothes, again, leaving me alone. I'm watching TV when I hear the doorbell ring. I get up and waltz to the door and open it to find Jade standing there. Before I can greet her or show her in, she walks in without greeting.
"We need to talk, Tori," Jade stated. She walked past me and threw her purse on a couch before sitting down hard on the other couch.
"What's up?" I ask sitting down next to her and grabbing her hand. She wrenches her hand out my grip and gives me an upset look.
"I need to talk to you about Robbie." She started.
"Ugh, what the fuck did he do now?" I groan.
"Nothing. It's what I did to him." What the fuck are you talking about, Jade? I think, confused by this statement. She read my mind and answered my question.
"I'm in love with Robbie, too."
"DAFUQ?!" I scream out loud. I move to slap her, but she caught my wrist and gave me a threatening look. I wrestle my wrist out of her grip. Anger clouds my judgment as I plan to end our relationship. But first, a little 20 Questions.
"How can you be in love with that puppet boy too?" I ask her, my voice trembling from my attempts to not cry and from the anger pooling within me. I am equally pissed off at Robbie as well.
"Simple. He loves me and has since we first met." She explains apprehensively.
"Bullshit; he's jealous of us and you fell for that age-old trick from him of all people." I retort, disbelief noticeable in every syllable.
"You didn't see his face when he told me that night." Jade explained, giving me puppy dog eyes. I admit, it was cute and weird to see Jade to that, but that didn't stop me from being angry at her. I eyed her warily, hoping for her to drop her defenses so that I can jump her.
"I don't give a shit what expression he gave you. HE'S A VENTRILOQUIST! HE CAN ACT!" I roar at her. Jade closes her eyes and shakes her head slowly, giving me my chance to strike.
Screaming, I lash out, grabbing her raven hair and started to pull it and throwing her head around. The moment I started, she started to fight back, showing her surprising strength, and I lose my grip. We wrestle around, first on the couches, then on the floor. I get on top of her and start slapping her, but she throws me off and I hit my head on the couch hard, stunning me. Jade stands her face red from being slapped, her hair a mess, and her eyes wild with fury. She was panting very fast.
"How dare you attack me, Vega?" She speaks very quietly. She runs one hand through her hair to straighten it out and her other hand massaged her face. I look up at her from my position on the floor, my head throbbing where it struck the couch. I sit up, wincing and I attempt to get up, but a look from Jade told me that would be unwise.
"I-I-I'm s-s-sor-r-y, J-Jade." I whimper in pain, tears welling up in my eyes. I meant it. I was overreacting to Jade loving Robbie. I was worried, but that didn't give me the right to attack her. If I were her, I'd break up with me.
"No, you're not," Jade state, still quietly. It was unnerving.
"I just don't want to lose you." I say, looking into her furious emerald eyes. I can't hold my gaze and I lower my eyes to her boots. She walks forwards and helps me to my feet. It stung, but I'm glad she didn't do it to knock me down again.
"You'll never lose me." Jade replies out loud. I look at her and she gives me a reassuring look and continues. "I love Robbie, but I am in love with you, Tori."
"Really?"
"Yes." She takes my hand and squeezes it. We both kiss like we have never kissed before and I know from that kiss that Jade was serious.
"Can you take me to my bed? I'm in a lot of pain and don't want to have to move later." I ask her. She obliges and puts my arm around her neck and supports me as we walk towards my room. It took us a while to get up the stairs, but after that, it went smoothly. We arrive at my room and Jade opens it wide and we walk in sideways to fit us both. She helps me sit on the bed before taking a seat next to me and takes my hand again.
"Thanks," I said weakly. My body was sore from the traveling. Jade smiled.
"Don't mention it." We sit on my bed in silence for several minutes, both of us waiting for the other to break the silence. Finally, Jade breaks it.
"Can I tell you a secret?" She asks simply. I shrug.
"Sure. What is it?" I reply, a little giddy.
"You'll think it's weird." She explains.
"What is it that you want to admit?"
"I want to try something new." Jade admits before she kisses me.
Before I know what's happening, Jade is on top of me, straddling my waist and kissing my neck, shooting jolts through my body. She then straightens up and starts to undo my jeans. I give her a flirtatious smile which she returns gleefully. As she pulls my jeans off, I start to take of my tee and I am now wearing only my purple underwear. Jade then takes off her leather jacket and I reach the hem of her shirt and yank it over her head, exposing her black bra. We then start to make out, our tongues having a battle in our mouths. As we kiss, I readjust myself so that I can pull off her black jeans, exposing her black panties. Does she have any other colors? I wonder to myself as I kiss her chest. She moans in appreciation and then reaches behind my back and I can feel her cold hands fumbling to unhook my bra. After several seconds, I feel the straps loosening and the bra comes off. Upon exposure to the air, my breasts get goose bumps. Jade smiles as she moves in to kiss my chest. I then unhook her bra and take it off as we start kissing each other again, Jade on top of me. I am so lost in our embrace that I do not notice that we both lost our panties and were completely naked.
The next several minutes were full of absolute bliss as we make love to one another. We were both new at this and as such, didn't really know what to do to each other. We peppered each other everywhere with kisses, which was electrifying. We moaned and groaned as we rubbed against each other. After several minutes, my room was full of shrieks as we both reached ecstasy. We lie back next to each other, panting and sweaty. I drag the sheets above us to our necks as we cuddle together.
"Fuck that was good!" I whisper, smiling at Jade. She smiled back and kissed me on the forehead.
"Glad you enjoyed it. I most certainly did." She panted. Our hair clung to each other as we fell asleep together, holding each other close and big smiles plastered on our faces.
Tonight was the first time I have ever done it, and I enjoyed it very much, and I can't wait to do it again.
Here is the next chapter. Like I promised, it is considerably longer. Sorry to leave anyone hanging, suffering from writer's block really sucks. Hope you are enjoying the story so far. Next 2 chapters will be coming soon.
