If It Means A Lot To You
"Jade..." Tori said, her voice uncertain as she shifted her weight. The pale girl looked up at her girlfriend with a serious expression, they hadn't spoken in a week and although Jade was happy to see her it was obvious Tori had something she needed to say.
"Uhm, I think..." Tori trailed off, biting her lip to try and keep the tears away.
"I think we should take a break." The Latina continued. Jade smiled and rolled her eyes, she'd heard this before.
"Sure, Vega. I gotta get to class." Jade said dismissively, leaning over to kiss Tori's cheek as she tried to move passed the other girl. Tori blocked the door, shaking her head as she stared Jade in the eyes.
"I mean it this time, Jade. You know you can't give me what I need. And even though you mean so much to me, I can't wait through everything."
Tori said, glancing down for only a second before picking her eyes back up and letting her tears fall. Jade faltered, shock and hurt evident on her face as she scanned Tori's.
"Is this really happening?" She asked, her voice just barely above a whisper. The other girl merely nodded, looking away from Jade's eyes that pleaded with Tori to reconsider.
"I swear I'll never be happy again." Jade whimpered, backing away from the girl she had hoped to spend the rest of her life with.
"It doesn't have to be that way, Jade. We can still-"
"Don't you dare say that we can just be friends. That is not going to happen and you know it. You can't make this better, Vega, I'm not some boy that you can sway." Jade hissed, her eyes angry as they burned into Tori's.
'How dare she try and pull that "we can still be friends" card. There's no way...not after everything...' Jade fumed, closing her eyes as bittersweet memories flooded uninvitedly into her mind. The janitor's closet was quiet for quite some time, neither girl wanting to meet the other's eyes.
"We knew this would happen eventually..." Tori spoke up cautiously, glancing over at her former girlfriend.
"Is there someone else?" Jade murmured, choosing to ignore Tori's ludicrous statement. The back of her head rested against the rusty ladder that lead to the library. She stared pointedly up at the ceiling because there was no way in Hell that she could look Tori straight in the eyes if there actually was someone else. Her heart constricted at the very thought of Tori falling for someone else. She tried her best not to envision someone else looking at her Tori with the warmth that she looks at her with, or someone else making her Tori laugh and smile like she does. Or someone else kissing- No, that thought is definitely too painful.
"There's no one else, Jade. It's just that you're never around anymore. You make it seem like you don't care about me, like you don't love me. This is the first time we've spoken to each other in a week. You don't make an effort to talk to me or come see me anymore. I just, I'm sick of being the only one that tries in this relationship." Tori rushed out, her chest heaving as she stared at Jade in desperation. Her words cut against Jade's heart but the pale girl's face remained neutral. She had no idea that she'd been that distant, she didn't know Tori felt that way. Okay, so it'll be a little break just until she could prove to Tori that she wasn't the only one in the relationship. Jade nodded firmly to herself while she was in this new mindset.
"Alright. Maybe this is all for the best anyway." Jade said aloud, looking at Tori hopefully. And for the first time since the Latina stepped into the closet, she looked back at the paler girl with relief. Jade was finally listening to her and that was the best she could've hoped for.
Also I think I'm gonna go back to updating whenever I finish a chapter for reasons. I wanted to upload this like a few weeks ago but it was my birthday and I just kinda forgot about it. My bad.
