Jade
Condo? This is not a condo, this is a freaking penthouse!
So, Tori, Ms. Oh I rented a simple condo in SoHo, no big deal, Vega, forgot to mention that this, quote-unquote, condo is a triplex Penthouse. Yes, a three story Penthouse with 5 bedrooms, 16 rooms all together, 8 bathrooms, private terraces, movie room, library, fireplace, etc. The door is the freaking elevator. My family's rich and all and I'm used to snobby rich people, but I'm honestly not used to this luxury life, besides what I grew up with, i.e. my house, Tori's house, etc.
Me and Cat just kinda stand there taking it all in.
"Oh sweet, I was hoping she got the same unit."
Leave it to Justin to just casually stroll in like this is nothing and throw his bags down.
"Shane should be here soon... Are you guys okay?"
Justin finally looks up at us. We snap out of our trance. Cat decides to speak for us.
"Shane's coming?"
"Yeah, he's dropping off our clothes for tonight before he heads to the event. Everyone else is going to meet us there. They're all at Hailey's place right now."
Right, Hailey actually lives in New York.
Just then Justin's phone rings.
"It's Scooter... Hey, bro!...Yeah, we just got to our place..."
Justin's voice fades as he walks into a different room.
"Fuck this place is huge!"
If I had water in my mouth just now I would've spit it out or choked on it from laughing so hard at Cat's random outburst as she jumps onto a gigantic couch, landing on her back.
"Yeah, maybe we should start our singing career."
I lay down on the couch across from her.
"You got your whole acting thing now, you'll be here in no time and then in a few years you get your inherence."
I shrug.
"I guess so... You could do it though. I mean our whole group was the best at HA and we have all the right connections now and a fan base already set. I mean any of us could act or sing or whatever we want. I say go for it."
A smile spreads across Cat's face.
"I love what I do already, but..."
"Sometimes is more fun to be the star than the one preparing the star?"
"Exactly!...Plus, my family would be set for life."
The mood in the room just changed so fast.
"How is he?"
"I don't know... I mean he's good, he's happy, but...he's tired and...ya."
It makes me sad to see her sad.
Just then the elevator opens and reveals a clean-cut Shane in a red and white tuxedo holding up hangers with those clothing bags that zip up and usually have expensive clothes in them. Me and Cat sit up smiling at him as he walks in.
"Hello beautiful people!"
He swiftly walks into the kitchen with us following and he lays the bags on the long dinning room table.
"No time to talk! I have to rush to Time Square now. Tell pretty boy I did some last minute switch ups. Bye!"
Cat giggles at Shane's comments before we both stare at the clothing bags. They have our names on them...
I mean it's cold out so it can't be much, right? Giant coats? But then there's the after party...
Me and Cat both grab our bags and decide to unzip them together. I can tell there's more than just one article of clothing in the bag. I look at Cat.
"One.."
"Two..."
we say in unison...
"Three!"
Ho-ly...
Tori
Robbie actually arrived, along with Scooter, and started filming soon after everyone else left. Perfect time, really. I just finished rehearsals now and I think it's as perfect as it's ganna get. So, now we're all in a blacked out van, on our way to Time Square and I'm trying my best to keep my nerves from being shot. Robbie's filming still and Scooter decides it's a fantastic time to ask how I'm feeling.
It's not.
"How're you feeling?"
"Like and earthquake's in my nerves."
I hold out my hand and everyone laughs at my suffering.
"Oh my God, Tori!"
Sutton laughs and grabs my hand, holding it between her two hands.
"I just want tonight to...to not be a failure."
I laugh at the thought of how ridiculous this whole night is going to be.
"You'll be fine."
Scooter acts like this is no big deal.
Ugh.
The studio was close by, luckily, so we arrived at the stage set up within an hour. Yeah, NY traffic, yo.
Body guards are there to greet me and escort me through the back of the gated and guarded event set up. Screams of love instantly fills my ears as the car door opens. It wasn't too bad. It's all outside, so the loudness of peoples' voices only becomes a dull roar.
"Tori's hear."
A guy with a head mic says as his hand lands on my back to guide me to the wardrobe station.
"Hey, superstar! Sutton."
Oh yeah.
I look beside me to find Sutton rolling her eyes at Shane, realizing she was still with me. Shane then pulls a bagged hanger off of the cluttered clothing rack and hands it to Sutton.
"You'll wear it and you'll love it. You're welcome."
"Thank you Shane."
Sutton says in a kind and flirtatious voice as she walks off behind a curtain.
"And here's your bag."
I take the hanger, holding the bottom of the bag so it doesn't drag on the ground.
"You dropped off the others?"
"Of course. Now stop stressing and go change."
He pushes me through the curtain. I unzip the bag.
Hmmm... Giant, black, quilted jacket with brown, faux fur on the hood, a black Givenchy Bambi Sweater, a black shirt, black skinny jeans, white Givenchy Star studded high top sneakers with black accents, and then the usual jewelry... That's a lot of black...
"Uh... Shane you think you could add some color next time."
He turns around as I come out.
"Girl, you look good and sure, but tonight it's black for you. You're the stand out."
"What?"
I look around at people passing by and rushing around, other celebrities and performers all happen to be in mostly white.
"There was some wardrobe mix up and all the stylist dressed everyone in white."
Just then Sutton walks up in black coat and a very lovely white dresss...gown...dress... I don't know and her hair is done up nicely, she looks great. Sutton is currently looking me over.
"Shane you're a genius."
"Wow, Sutton Mercer giving compliments. I never thought I'd see the day."
She smirks.
"Don't get used to it."
Shane then waves us off as he's torn away by other stars.
"Have you seen Jade yet?"
Sutton frowns and shakes her head.
"No, actually. Has she texted you?"
I pull out my phone.
"No... Justin said they're here though."
"Maybe they're just out watching the show... Robbie!"
Wow, I didn't even see him.
Sutton grabs him as he was passing by.
"There you are!"
He holds his camera up to record.
"Have you seen Jade?"
"Yeah, they're out front. They got here a little while ago."
A little relieved now, a another event coordinator directs me to hair and make. My hair is already straight and how long could make up really take? Apparently an hour and now I'm given the 10 minute mark and I'm freaking out and pacing as Robbie's lens has me on lock and Sutton trying to calm me down.
"Hey!"
She grabs my arms to hold me in place.
"Relax, you do this all the time. It's just...a little different this time, but you'll be amazing as always and it'll work out okay. Like how could it not, honestly? Just breathe."
"Tori, 5 minutes!"
"Oh God!"
And then I feel it, a smack to my face and I'm staring at Sutton in shock as she just smiles.
"That's better. Can you breath now?"
"Actually...yes. I can't believe that actually worked."
"It's what I do. Now, go kill it."
"You're a blessing, Sutton!"
I grab her and kiss her cheek before running off to the stage.
Fuck.
Some more coordinators grab me when I get to the stage entrance and direct me to go on the blacked out stage, meaning the no one can see the stage right now and the tv camera is probably on Ryan Seacrest at the interview stage. Thank God, my eyes adjust enough so I can see where the chair is to sit in front of the piano. My heart is pounding, I can hear it in my ears.
Jade West posted a pic:
(Jade, Cat, and Justin pose together in the penthouse. You can see the city lights behind them through the giant glass wall. Jade is in green coat with a short black, what appears to be, metallic dress and it has this texture making it look like it's cracking, and she has green high heals on. Cat also has the same except her coat and shoes are black and she has a silver dress. Justin has a gold tuxedo on with the same texture and black accents, a white dress shirt underneath, black pants, and black dress shoes.)
"I'm in love!"
Comments:
"OMG They all look perfect!"
"Wheres Tori?!"
Jade
So the whole group is here, Cat, Justin, Andre, Beck, Hailey, Kendall, Kyle, Lil Za, etc, etc. No, Robbie. He's obviously back stage with Tori. Drake just finished his performance and now the stage lights are all blacked out and all you can see is shadows of people moving and setting up the stage. A piano and someone walking on stage and sitting. A few seconds go by and then Tori's name lights up on the billboard screens around us and everyone starts cheering as she starts playing the piano and the lights turn on, but stay dim.
I lean over to Cat.
"I don't think I've heard this before."
"Me either."
"I love it when you just don't care
I love it when you dance like there's nobody there
So when it gets hard, don't be afraid
We don't care what them people say."
I can't really form a thought, I just know that me and pretty much everyone else is in shock, watching, listening with our mouths agape, because we all know this is not just some new song, no. There was a reason for why she wouldn't let any of us know what she was doing aside from her scheduled performance and now we know... We just can't believe it's actually happening...
"I love it when you don't take no
I love it when you do what you want 'cause you just said so
Let them all go home, we out late
We don't care what them people say
We don't have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party
I'm telling you, to take your shot it might be scary
Hearts are gonna break
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party"
The lights are fully on now and she grabs the mic out from the piano holder and stands up, walks center stage, and puts the mic in the stand as the music continues.
"Together we can just let go
Pretend like there's no one else here that we know
Slow dance, fall in love as the club track plays
We don't care what them people say."
She locks eyes with me.
"We don't have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party
I'm telling you, take your shot it might be scary
Hearts are gonna break
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party... How 'bout we turn up the music!"
The lights black out again on the stage and the crowd screams out in excitement. I think I would be too if I wasn't still trying to process what just happened.
Shadows of people run onto the stage and join Tori. A loud clapping bass sound fills the air as Tori and her dancers' clothes light up in blue and they start doing this ridiculously amazing dance performance. Everyone's cheering them on and the music starts to merge with bass...
"Turn up the music, just turn it up loud
Turn up the music, I need it in my life, yeah
Turn up the music, just turn it up loud
Turn up the music, I need it in my life, yeah
TIME SQUARE LEGGO!"
The lights came back on and Tori ran down the runway, which ended in the middle of the crowd and the dancers where all around the stage and they all started dancing again. It was honestly one of the best dance performances I've ever seen.
"GO TORI!"
All the guys in our group yell out and I finally join Cat and the other girls, screaming and cheering for Tori. My heart's pounding a mile a second.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh
Can you turn it up, girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Can you turn it up, baby
Turn it up (just dance with me)
Turn it up (just dance with me)
Turn it up (just dance with me)
Turn it up (just dance with me)
Turn it up (just dance with me)
Turn it up (just dance with me)
Turn it up (just dance with me)
Turn it up
Turn up the music!"
Tori and all the dancers bow as the crowd cheers. They all run backstage. I should probably run backstage...yeah.
"No, you're bringing me!"
Cat gives me a look as she grabs my arm and we continue on our way. We get backstage and it's a crowded mess.
"Do you see here?"
Cat tries to stand on her tippy toes with no such luck.
"No."
We start pushing past people.
Tori
I run off stage praying I don't go into freak out mode.
"You were freaking AMAZING!"
Sutton grabs my face and I start laughing as I grab onto her waist to steady myself.
"How the hell do you even do that?!"
"I need to find Jade!"
"What?!"
I lean into her so she can hear me.
"I need to find JADE!"
"Right!"
I pull away from her to start my search, but it ends before it even begins. Jade and Cat are standing there a few feet away from us. People pass by between us, but we seem to be frozen in time.
"That's not good."
Really.
I pay no mind to Sutton as I follow a Jade, who's now walking off. We go behind some curtains, not sure where we are, but no one is even around in this cut off area as I finally catch up to Jade.
"Jade!"
"No! Don't touch me."
My mouth goes dry and my voice gets caught in my throat as Jade turns around to face me, but not really meeting my eyes. A tear slides down her face, but she quickly wipes it of existence. She shakes her head at a thought unknown to me till she speaks.
"I can't do this.."
"Do what?"
"Be your friend anymore! I hate being your friend. Do you know how much it sucks to be your friend?"
I stay quiet. I can hear the crowd start the count down to the New Year, but I don't say a word.
"Everywhere I go there you are, on billboards, on the tv, on the freaking radio, and everyone always asks me about you and what you're doing and where you are and who you're dating. My favorite question is how long we've been together. Yeah, 'cause then I get to explain to them how we're just friends, nothing more. Then I see pictures posted and media reports of you with some new girl draped over you, questioning if you're talking or maybe even dating and I'm trying to find someone that could maybe, in the slightest way, compare to you..."
"Jade."
I take a step closer.
"No one could even make a spark. Then I thought...We always have all these stupid little moments, like who does that, what type of people who are just friends do that! Then I see you with Sutton. How could you be with her and go back to her!"
"Jade!"
"I'm in lov-"
I couldn't hear the end of Jade's sentence due to the fact that it was muffled by my lips and swallowed in her return. I pull away.
"Me too."
I smile at her frozen expression.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
(Recommended Music: Make Me Fade by Vanic X *chorus*)
The crowd roars and Jade finally seems caught up to speed as she smiles pulls my lips towards hers. Her arms lock around my neck and my hands rest on her hips.
Before I know it we're at the dark, empty penthouse in a feverish make out session and God, do I love the taste of her lips. I don't even remember when Jade took off her dress, but there is, on the floor. She's in black lace lingerie, how Jade of her. I pin her against the wall, biting down her neck as I grab the underside of her thigh. She gets the hint and wraps her legs around me as I pick her up.
I carry her upstairs to the bedroom, my lips attached to hers with her hands on my face to steady us. Our tongues battle for dominance. She pulls back, taking my bottom lip between her teeth and groan. I set her on the bed and pull of my sweater and shirt before reconnecting us. Her hands start to work the button on my jeans, soon to be tossed to floor. I push her back on the bed and hover over her. I'm between her legs and it's dark and I can't even process that this is reality, it all seems so surreal. Even in the dark I can see her eyes are clearly dilated with a sexual high. I'm sure mine are the same.
We're under the covers. Our chests rise and fall and I bit the the corner of my bottom lip as I look over her body. Her eyes glance down between us. I know what she's looking at and I push my very hard-on against her and she moans with her hand grasping onto the back of my neck and her hips arching into mine. I go back down to her neck, biting and sucking, but nothing hard enough to leave a mark. I hate hickies.
I unclasp her bra and she groans at the sudden air, but I'm quick to move my mouth over one of her hardening nipples as my hand massages the other. I can hear her ragged breathing and her hands move to remove my own bra, which I comply with before returning back to what I was doing and she's moaning and her hands weave through my hair. I can't really tell you how good it feel to have her skin against mine, but let's go with it's heaven.
As I switch to her other breast, I grind the head my brief cladded member against her damp, lacy underwear.
"Tori."
It's barely audible, but I hear it as she tries to move her hips. I push her back down and pull away, placing my hands by the sides of her head and she leans up and pulls on the back of my neck only to lean in and bite down on my pulse point to which groan through clenched teeth and I pull down by the her hair and she bites her bottom lip, letting go of a moan.
Some how in this process, she's managed to kick off her underwear. I let go of the back of her head and push down my briefs, freeing myself. She, again, pushes her self against me and my erect member slides between her wet lips and we both moan. My heart is beating so fast, I wouldn't be surprised if she could feel it. I rest my forehead against her shoulder as I move to push my painfully hard and throbbing cock into her wet, but surprisingly tight cunt.
One hand on her hip and the other has the sheets in a death grip.
"Fuck."
I moan and her breathing is mixed with uneven breaths, whimpers and moans. Her hands grip the back of my neck and I push myself into her more.
"You're...tight..."
I get out between breaths as I thrust in more, feeling her walls let up around me.
"N-no, you'r-re...big...Tori!"
I thrust into her harder and my hand slips, but I catch myself with my hand still by her head. I feel her walls grip my full length.
Oh. My. GOD!
I basically lose control, being completely in Jade is like no other high. I start pulling out and thrusting hard into her and her nails claw at my back, sure to leave marks, which only pushes me on even more. Her legs wrap around me. I start nipping at her ear and she's a whimpering, moaning mess and I love it. I'm so in love with her.
I feel my head hit that spot and her nails really dig into my skin and I hiss in pleasure as her walls contract around my cock and I help her ride out her orgasm, but I'm not done. I'm slow, but I don't stop. I let her catch her breath as I kiss down her chest again and she hums. I'm so close. I start to pick up the pace again and move back up to kiss her. I move my hand from her waist to lock under and around her shoulder to gain more leverage. I position my mouth at the right angle by her ear. I move my other hand down between us and find her clit.
"Tori!"
I don't think I've ever moaned so loud. I finally cum and she's hitting high notes off her second orgasm. We both collapse and I'm still on top of her. Our bodies pressed against each other as try to grasp onto some air. I lift myself up and kiss her one last time before pulling out of her and rolling off.
There was whispers and there was light touching, but not much before it all went black.
Jade.
