A/N: I know I disappeared, and suck for it. I'm adding a little more to this story than I intended though, so maybe that'll make up for it. :)

Fast Ride

[]

Cat and Tori make their way towards the lunch table that Andre and I are sitting at, and as soon as I see them I look down at my half wilted three dollar salad. Because they've been pretty much glued at the hip for the last three weeks, and I've been pretty much skipping lunch as much as I can.

I'm about to get up and leave when I hear Cat's phone go off.

"Oh, no." She says quietly, and it makes me look up and see her reading her screen.

"What's up?" She asks. I fucking hate you Tori, that's what's up.

"They think my brother swallowed a spoon. They had to take him to a hospital."

Andre pats her on the shoulder, "I'm sorry Little Red."

"It's okay," All happy tones, because really it will be a national holiday the day that weirdo doesn't swallow something. "But I need a ride a home now."

"I'll take you." My cheeks turn a little red at how fast I say it, before I even have the thought fully formed, it comes out of my mouth like it's pulled. It comes out as soon as I see Tori's mouth open to offer her some knight in shining armor assistance.

Everyone looks at me curiously at my sudden show of, well, anything resembling kindness. Except Cat just looks at me with a growing smile and dark eyes. I'm already regretting this. A lot.

"There's a book store by Cat's house that I want to go to." I add, trying to cover for myself.

"You don't have to." My glare cuts into Tori when she says it.

Then Cat's eyes shift to normal, when she looks at her. "It's okay; I don't mind Jade driving me."

"Are you sure?" Tori says tensely, and too quiet for it to be something she wants anyone but Cat to hear, but I do.

"You heard her," My eyebrow raises when she shifts her gaze towards me. "She wants me to take her home."

Then I smile, she glares, and Cat smirks.

This is bad idea.

We drive in silence for the whole way to her house. She plays with the radio stations, and I try not to crash into another car with the way she keeps distracting me. Sitting there, humming to songs, and I hope Tori appreciates all these barely-there shorts she keeps wearing. Because I would. I do. She probably does too. Fuck.

I almost miss my turn.

She probably peels them off Cat, right before her legs wrap around Tori's hips.

I swerve to miss a curb.

Tori probably doesn't even fuck her, she makes love to her, sweet and tender and giggles and modest exploring of each other. Because Tori is nice and kind and generous. And I'm not.

I finally make it to her house, jerking it into park and sighing.

"Thanks for the ride."

Just keep your eyes forward, don't think about how much you want to slide your fingers over her thighs, to feel the heat at where they meet.

"Yeah."

"My parents will be gone for a while, if you want to come in." She sing songs to me, unnaturally adorable.

I finally look over at her as she takes my hand that's loosely gripping the steering wheel.

"Isn't that what you have Tori for?" Is my snide answer.

She turns my palm up, and starts tracing circles on the inside of my hand. I feel goose bumps start to rise on my arms.

"She's not here now, is she?" She keeps tracing and tracing, and I flip my hand over to grab her wrist.

"You know, this isn't a game."

I start to pull her towards me, and she just lets me, utterly trusting.

"But I like games, Jade." Her voice is childish and condescending, and she's close to me now, our lips almost touching. "I'm good at games."

I kiss her, and God I missed this. I'm rough and demanding, and probably nothing like Tori would be, but she doesn't mind. She couldn't, the way she's pulling me into her by the back of my neck. She's moaning and whimpering, and I haven't even touched her yet. I smile a little against her lips. She missed me too.

My hands slide under her shirt, and my mouth moves so fast against hers, I'm getting dizzy. I'm going too fast, feeling her over her bra, moving over her, as she slides under me. When I finally break away, she's practically sprawled out over the front seats, and one of my knees is on the driver's seat, the other pressed against the gear shift. This isn't exactly comfortable or ideal, but Cat's fingers start to work on the buttons of my jeans, and her legs are tangled in mine, and we are moving way to fast.

I lean down and kiss her again, right when her hand finds its path past the barrier of my underwear, moving through wet heat. I already know how wet I am. But she breaks away from the kiss and tells me anyway, whispering in my ear, making me buck a bit against her hand. Then, all I can see is her neck, and when I put my lips to it, I want to bite, suck, and make it bleed out and spell my name.

But I stop myself, because it reminds me of Tori. Because she's with Cat, and that fact alone isn't anything I care about, but she's with her…and that's something I can't stand.

I leave light kisses on her neck, trailing up to her ear.

"You can't be with Tori."

I hear her giggle.

"Yes I can." I see red at that, but it's blurred by the sudden change of pace that her fingers have taken. "I can be with anyone I want." Her other hand goes under my shirt, and it's becoming harder to focus on my anger right now. "I can be with her, and I can be with," She slides a finger inside of me. "You."

My teeth clench as I exhale, and she starts to sit up to meet my lips.

We kiss, and I try to take off her shirt, but she's pulling away, and I groan as the lack of contact entails both of her hands.

"What—?" I try to say against her lips, making her pull away from those too.

"I have a bed that's warm and comfortable, and calling our names."

"I don't want to." I mumble, trying to kiss her, but she pulls away again, confused.

"Why not?"

I sigh, annoyed, "Because at least I know she hasn't fucked you in my car." And I really didn't mean to say that. But I did, and now she's quiet. Just still, processing, and before I start to feel too much weight on my chest, her smile and dark eyes are back.

"She's never been over to my house."

Her hands push back on my shoulders gently, situating ourselves back in our original position.

"I don't believe you."

She shrugs.

"I've only lied to you once, Jade."

What the fuck?

My brain starts moving over everything she's ever said to me in the last month, in some desperate quest to overreact.

"What did you lie to me about?" I practically yell, sound echoing off the car windows, and she just fucking smiles.

"I'll tell you if you come inside." She opens the door and leaves, before I have a chance to grab her by the arm and dig my nails in until she stops playing me.

But she's walking away, opening her front door, and I'm getting out of my car, following her like a pet.
