Jade and Tori were on a park, Jade was on a swing and Tori was on her lap. Jade's legs were swinging lightly 'causing the body of the two girls to move. Jade was smiling and Tori was playing with the other girl's hair, they were talking and laughing.
Tori went for a kiss and Jade accepted, kissing dearly the Latina´s lips. Then Jade broke their lips, got up and started to walk away. Tori didn't know why and she kept calling Jade but other girl didn't turn around.
Tori started to run, but she couldn't reach Jade, angst was taking over her, she was running but not moving. She started to panic. Tori fell on the floor in tears as Jade walked away without looking back even once.
Tori woke frightened with the sound of her alarm. Jade would really do that? Just walk away and leave Tori crying on the floor? It´s sure suits her.
Of course, it was a nightmare, but while Tori was getting ready for school, she couldn't stop thinking about it. She knew deep inside that Jade was a vicious person and having feelings for her would possible cause a lot of hurt to Tori's life. She was really willing to take it?
One day at a time, that was what Tori had decided, she's going to take one day at a time. Who knows? Maybe Jade would go back to the person she was two days ago or she was going to ignore Tori for the rest of her life and Tori would forget how much she loved the tattooed girl.
It was late when Jade woke up; she looked around looking for her phone to break it for not waking her, just to remember that she already broke him yesterday.
So she turned the TV on to find out what time it was, she wasn't too late, if she hurry she could get to Sikowitz´s class on time.
Tori entered the school and scanned the hallway looking for Jade, she needed to talk to her, explain herself but there was no sign of the dark haired girl anywhere.
Frustrated, she marched to her locker to grab the books for the day. She frowned at her locker. It was such a mess in there that she couldn't find anything.
"Hey there chica." Tori heard Andre say behind her. She slams her locker door hard and turned to face him with a frown. "Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today." Andre said.
"I'm fine. It's this stupid locker that keeps swallowing my books." Tori said sighing and pointing at her locker.
"Come on now. Let's not blame the locker for your lack of organization." Andre said putting an arm around Tori and laughing.
"Not funny Andre." She answered annoyed.
"What's not funny?" Beck said coming to them and leaning on the lockers.
"The disappearance of Tori's history book." Andre answered.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I'm just going to used yours." Tori said smirking at Andre and they started to walk to class.
Tori did one last look of the hallway, still no sign of Jade. Where was she?
The bell was about to ring when Jade entered the school, she went to her locker and grabbed the books for her second period and started to head to Sikowitz class.
When she opened the door, the classroom was already full, only one sit was empty and, of course, it was next to Tori. Jade putted her game face on and took a deep breath, going to the chair and letting her body drop on it without making eye contact with nobody, especially Tori. She could feel those hazel eyes fixed on her, but she wasn't going to break.
"Good morning, everyone." Sikowitz said entering the classroom . "Today we're going to play a little game."
"Yay, I love games." Jade heard Cat say and rolled her eyes.
"Good to know Cat." Sikowitz continued. "Each one of you are going to hold the hand of the person next to you." He said sipping on his coconut.
Jade's eyes passed to Tori to they teacher. "Why?" She said before doing what she was told.
"Come on Jade, don't be so anti-social." Sikowitz said causing the girl to shift angrily on her sit. "Come on now, everyone holding hands."
Jade sighted and looked at Tori. Tori had a strange look on her face, like she was sorry that they teacher was asking them to touch each other.
Tori lift her hand to Jade and the dark haired girl grabbed it, shifting her gaze from Tori´s eyes to their teacher.
"Now, I want you all to write how it feels to be holding hands with your class mate. Anything that passes through your heads. Let the imagination fly." Sikowitz said. "You guys can start now."
Jade froze for a second, just observing all of her classmates writing, she turned to face Tori. She was writing too. Well, if she was obligated to do this, she was better start soon.
Jade shifted her hand linked to Tori's so she could write and started. My hand feels warm in touch with Tori's, I feel my heart starting to beat faster and I want to yank my hand back before it get's worst. I can't be in love with her, I should hate her. I can't be in love with Tori Vega, anyone but her.
"Ok class, you can let go now."
The moment that Jade heard Sikowitz words she yanked her hand free, glad that she didn't have to deal with her feelings anymore. She glanced at Tori and couldn't help to notice the hurt on the other girl's eyes.
"Now, you guys are going to write how it feels now that you aren't in touch with the other person." Sikowitz said.
"What's the point of this again?" Andre asked, letting go of Cat's hand.
"I'm getting there, now start writing." Their teacher spoke.
Jade grabbed her pen again and started. I feel free now that my hand isn't linked to Tori´s, but I miss her touch, her warm and caring hand on top of mine. It's weird, I can't think of anything now that we broke our connection.
"Okay, awesome, you guys can stop writing now. The point of this exercise was to show you that you need to reach out and touch your audience when you're an actor. If you only think on yourself there's no connection. You must think on the people watching you as well and when you do that, your acting will improve." Sikowitz finished snapping his fingers happily on above his head with proud.
He did have a point, Jade managed to get in touch with her feelings for Tori when they were touching and Tori could write freely about how she wished that Jade loved her and how she missed her quick but meaning touch.
"What did you write?" Jade heard Cat asked her.
Out of instinct, she covered the paper that she was using, smashing it. That exercise was garbage. She didn't loved or felt connected to Tori. She wouldn't admit to herself that. She didn't need Tori. She was Jade West, she didn't need anyone.
"Garbage." Jade answered Cat's question. Getting up and throwing her paper on the trash can and marching out of class. Not paying attention to Tori´s big and beautiful eyes following her. She just needed to get out of there. She needed to get away from Tori before she did something that she regrets. Like admitting the true.
Tori watched as Jade threw her paper on the trash and walked away, hurt flashing on her eyes. She knew that Jade was mad at her but that reaction was so out of nowhere, like she was scared of something.
Tori got up of her seat and marched to the door, following Jade, a sudden anger filling her thoughts. Jade couldn't do that, just ignore Tori existence. Tori wouldn't let her.
Tori walked in the girls´ bathroom a little after Jade, closing and locking the door behind her.
When Jade heard the "click" of the door, she turned and saw Tori. "Vega, what the fuck are you doing?" She barked at the other girl.
"No." Tori said, getting closer to Jade with a finger on the air. "I'm going to talk, you're going to listen." She said getting closer.
"Get out of here Vega." Jade said, in a calm tone. "I meant it." She finished, warning the other girl.
Tori didn't mind Jade's words. She just went closer to the other girl. "You don't get to tell me what to do!" Tori said angry.
Jade looked at Tori getting close to her, she couldn't let her get close, Jade couldn't think when she was near Tori and she needed her brain now. "I'm warning you Vega." She tried again, Tori has to get back before Jade do something that she knew she would regret.
Tori looked at Jade, watching her fingers turn in to a fist, but Tori couldn't stop, she was going to solve that now. She went closer. She was in front of Jade now, so close that she could feel Jade's breath on her face. "You can't do this Jade!" She said waving her arms. "You can't act like you like me one day and just pretend that I don't exist on the other, it's not how it wo…"
Jade was hearing every word that came out of Tori's mouth, her beautiful mouth. Jade was cursing herself on the inside, why Tori was so close to her? She couldn't think. She could see Tori's mouth moving but she couldn't hear her anymore and before she could stop herself, her lips were on Tori's.
