Chapter 21 – News travels fast.
Authors note: Just to be clear this chapter starts on Tuesday morning. The day after Tori and Jade flew to Las Vegas and Got married. This chapter will concentrate on everyone's reaction to the news. Jade and Tori will be in it at the end.
It was 9:00 when Mandy's alarm clock went off. After one or two swipes with her hand at the buzzing terror, she managed to silence it. Tuesday was her day to sleep in, her first class being at 10:30. Beck got up at 7 having an early class.
As she sat up in bed, she heard Beck's voice coming from the other room.
"He must have come home between classes" she sleepily thought.
She tossed on her bathrobe over t shirt and shorts and wandered into the living room.
Beck was sitting at the computer desk, on the phone. Mandy noticed his voice was stressed.
"No.. ..Cat, they don't hate you." He said to what Mandy presumed was Cat.
"Look..I know they didn't include….No..Cat…please stop crying." He said trying to calm Cat down.
After listening to the phone for a moment he then responded.
"I know you would have driven there. I'm sure they had a reason."
Mandy stood in the living room, trying to figure out what in the heck was going on with Cat and why was she so upset.
"I know Jade pinky sweared to you that you would take a part in hers, but you do need to remember you were 8 years old at the time. Cat please stop crying."
After a second he responded.
"Yes I know, a pinky swear can't be broken." A frustrated Beck said on the phone, as Mandy walked up to him.
"What Gives?" Mouthed Mandy to Beck.
Beck with a look of annoyance, pointed to the computer screen.
On it was Tori Vega's facebook page.
On top, there was the following notifications.
"Tori Vega has changed her name to Tori Vega-West"
Tori Vega-West has changed her relationship status from "In a relationship" To married.
Tori Vega-West is now married to Jade Vega-West.
Below that was a picture of Jade and Tori, in blood covered wedding dresses with a caption
"The happy and bloody brides"
Both girls looked very happy.
"NO FUCKING WAY!" Mandy said out loud.
"Cat, Oh good Robbies home. Talk to him for a bit. I'll call you a little later. We'll work this out. Bye Cat."
"They got married for real?" Mandy said in disbelief.
Beck nodded and with a few clicks of his mouse, was at the page advertising the Scissoring themed wedding.
"Cat just called and told me. That's what they did. Jade and Tori got married last night in Las Vegas. They updated their facebook status last night. Cat saw it this morning and now is a mass of tears. I guess when they were 8 years old Jade Pinky swore with Cat that she would be her maid of Honor when she got married. Cat called me in hysterics. I'm going to kill those two. Leaving us to deal with a sobbing Cat." Beck grumbled.
"I can't believe it. Has anyone called them?" A stunned Mandy said, as she ran her hand through her hair.
"Cat called them and I called them. Both of their phones are turned off." Beck answered.
"Probably sleeping in." Mandy speculated.
"If I know Jade, they had a marathon fuck session and will probably sleep to 4 in the afternoon." Beck remarked casually, as he picked up his book bag off the desk.
"Speaking from experience, are we?" Said Mandy, with a rather jealous look in her eyes.
Quickly changing the subject Beck said. "Look, I have to get to my next class. If Cat calls you try to calm her down. I'll try to think of what to do next. Love you Baby." Beck said giving Mandy a quick kiss.
"Will do" Mandy said as Beck left.
Mandy was thrilled that they were married, but a little disappointed that she was not there. She pulled out her own phone, and called her mom at the Beauty salon she owned.
After 2 rings, Mandy heard her mom answer.
"Hello, Sea Side beauty salon. This is Lisa, how may I help you."
"Mom" Mandy said excitedly. She wondered what her mom's reaction would be.
"What honey. Is something wrong? You sound excited." Lisa said, her voice filling with concern.
"Don't get upset mom, but Jade and Tori got married in Las Vegas last night."
There was dead silence on the other end of the line, for about 5 seconds. Mandy began to think her mom was going to be upset.
But suddenly Mandy heard her mom laughing. In fact, she heard her mom laughing hysterically.
"They really got married?" Lisa said still laughing.
"Yea they did. Last night. It was a special horror themed wedding, from that movie Jade loves so much. The Scissoring. Check out Tori's facebook page. I'm sorry, but why are you laughing so hard mom. Aren't you upset?"
"Are you kidding Mandy, I won?" Lisa exclaimed happily.
"You won what?" A puzzled Mandy asked.
"I said to Lori, that I thought they would get married in Vegas. She said I was nuts. So I placed a bet with her and I won."
"So what did you win?" Mandy asked, her curiosity peaked.
"Well..um..it's sort of personal." Lisa said somewhat embarrassed.
Mandy chuckled. "I get it. Look I have to get in the shower. Beck tried calling them, but both of their phones are turned off."
"OK Honey, I'll talk to you later. Bye Mandy"
"Bye Mom"
Lisa hung up the phone and immediately went to the computer. Sure enough, the facebook page confirmed Jade had married Tori.
Lisa couldn't help but smile. "They will get the 20 years together, Lori and I never had. I'm so happy for them." She thought.
She tried calling Jade and Tori; sure enough both their phones went straight to voicemail.
A minute later she dialed Lori who was at work in her office downtown.. Lori saw from the caller ID it was her wife.
"Hey Honey. What's up?" Lori said as she answered her phone.
"Hi honey, do you remember that bet we made about Jade and Tori?" Lisa said while trying to not burst out laughing.
"Um…Yea…That silly thing. What about it?" Lori said rather puzzled.
"Guess who's going to be wearing a french maids costume and gets to be her wife's submissive for a night. I'll give you a clue. It won't be me." Lori said no longer able to hold her glee.
"WHAT!" Said a rather stunned Lori on the other end.
"That's right darling, your baby got married last night. She is now officially Mrs. Jade Vega-West."
Lori had made the bet with her wife, but never thought Jade would get married like that. She looked to the picture of Jade and Tori on her desk. It was taken about a year ago when they had gone on some picnic. Tori looked happy with her arm around Jade, who had her usual scowl. It would appear to the casual observer that Jade was unhappy in the picture; Lori knew that she was far from the truth.
"That's fantastic" Lori found her self saying "I'm so happy for them."
"I agree. I was thinking, that they will get the 20 years together that we never had." Lisa said with a noticeable tone of sadness to her voice.
"That's right, but we together now and always will be." Lori said in response.
"I tried calling them, but their phones were turned off. No big surprise." Lisa said.
"Where did they get married in Las Vegas?"
"I guess there is some kind of year round haunted house, They have horror themed weddings. Our daughter got married in a scissoring themed wedding."
Lori slapped her forehead. "Good grief."
"Just as long as they are happy, right?"
"Yes, that's right, Look I have a meeting in 10 minutes, and I need to call Tori's parents so I'm going to have call you later."
"Ok Honey, don't forget the french maids costume from the rental store on your way home. I want to see you in it, when I come home." Lisa said in a low husky voice.
"Tonight?" Lori said with dismay.
"Yea baby, tonight? Love you, Bye." Lisa said.
"Bye. " Lori said.
Lori rolled her eyes and silently cursed herself, for being overconfident.
"You just had to be sure, you would win the bet." Lori muttered to herself.
But she thought for a moment and smiled. "Might be kind of fun servicing my mistress, as her personal slave." She thought.
The sight of the picture of Jade and Tori snapped Lori out her reverie. Picking up the phone she dialed the Vega home.
"Hello" Said the voice which was obviously Trina's.
Thought largely past it, Lori still bore a small amount of Anger towards Trina for pummeling Jade the day Tori tried to kill herself. But for now, she ignored it.
"Trina, This is Lori, Jade's mother. I didn't expect you to answer." She said
"I'm doing laundry, I'll be dammed if I pay 2 dollars a load at my apartment. Besides my bras and panties always disappear. I shouldn't have to monitor the machines all the stupid time." The half Latina said with noticeable annoyance.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Trina, are your parents home?"
"No, my dad is working and my mom is grocery shopping. Is there something you need?" Trina said.
Lori chuckled. "Well, I have some news."
"What news. Is something wrong with Tori and Jade's trip?"
"Um…Actually Trina, Tori and Jade got married last night."
"You're fucking kidding?" Trina said in a rather shocked tone of voice.
"No, Tori and Jade are now on their honeymoon. Your sister is now Mrs. Tori Vega-West."
"Oh…Um…I'll have to call my parents and let them know. Did they call you and tell you?" A still stunned Trina, stammered out.
"No, they updated their facebook pages to reflect their status. They got married in a horror themed wedding for the movie "The Scissoring."
"That should make for some real fun wedding photos." Said Trina rather sarcastically.
"Trina, Please tell your parents I'll let call them. I would hope, that Tori and Jade had thought of some kind of party or ceremony here for all their family and friends to attend."
"OK."
"Well I have to call Jades father, and get to a meeting in 5 minutes I have to run."
"Ok, Lori, thanks for letting me know. Goodbye." Trina said
"Goodbye Trina.
As soon as Trina hung up the phone, she screamed at the top of her lungs. Then she started to talk to herself.
"of all the lesbians on the planet, my sister has to marry the craziest and meanest one of all."
Trina was on one level happy for her sister. She knew Tori was very much in love with Jade. But the recent events darkened her normally low opinion of Jade. She did apologize to Jade for beating the her up but, deep down she really wasn't that sorry about it.
"You better take real good care of my sister Jade, or that little beating you got will seem like nothing in comparison to the beating you will get." Trina muttered in Spanish, as she picked up the phone to dial her mom.
After two rings, Trina's mom answered.
"Trina, I'm in the checkout line at the store, can this wait?" Said, a noticeably annoyed Holly Vega.
"Un..no.. it can't" Trina said.
"Then what is it?"
"Mom, Tori and Jade got married last night."
"Er..ah..MARRIED!" Holly Vega blurted out.
She was fine with Tori and Jade being together. She even expected them to get married but them just doing it without telling anyone irked her. She really wanted her daughter to have a normal church wedding.
"Get this, it was some horror themed wedding. I just pulled up Tori's facebook page. Ugg…Both Jade and Tori are in bloody wedding dresses, and both have scissors sticking out of them."
"Oh God. Davids parents will freak if they see that. Look, I need to pay and get my groceries to the car. I need to call your father."
"Oh Jades mom called, she said she would call back. I'll talk to you later."
"Ok, Trina, bye."
Holly Vega grunted in displeasure as she paid for her groceries.
As she was wheeling her cart to her car she said to herself.
"Honey, I'm happy for you but we all wanted to see you get married."
It was then Holly realized she missed seeing her daughter getting married, and in the middle of the Von's grocery story parking lot, burst into tears.
She quickly tossed her groceries in the car and tried calling Tori. It went straight to voicemail. She hung up without leaving a message, intending to leave one after she spoke to her husband.
A few seconds later, she was dialing her husband who was at his station house.
"Officer Vega, How can I help you." Said Tori's father as he answered the phone.
"David, its holly." She said tearfully.
Noting his wife was crying, he was immediately very concerned.
"You're crying, what's wrong honey?" He said quickly.
"I missed seeing my daughter getting married." She sobbed.
"What? Who got married?" A very confused David Vega said.
"Tori and Jade got married last night." She said, still crying. "In some horror themed wedding."
Mr. Vega felt very much like his wife. He was happy that Tori and Jade were together. He was also happy, that they were making a very concerted effort, to sort through their problems. But, he was upset that his youngest daughter got married without him seeing it.
"Have you spoken to her?" A now stunned David Vega said.
"I called, but her phone is turned off."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm happy their married, but I wish I would have gotten a chance to walk my daughter down the aisle." He said with a mixture of anger and sadness.
So with in a half an hour of Cat seeing Tori's facebook page, everyone one knew. Andre and Robbie when the found out, were both happy for the couple. They were a little disappointed that they were not included, however.
When Beck came home from classes about 2 in the afternoon, he found Cat and Mandy talking in the apartment.
"Hey Cat, how are you doing?" Beck said as he came in.
"I didn't get to be in Jade and Tori's wedding." Cat said as she burst into tears.
"Good one Beck. I just got her to stop crying." Mandy said with an annoyed look.
"Sorry. I called, but their phones are still off. I left a message."
"I left a message too, and cat left about 10" Mandy said, putting an arm around the heartbroken Cat.
"Look Cat, I'm sure they will have another wedding for friends and family. I'm sure they will have you in that one." Mandy said reassuringly.
"But that's not the real one. I want to be part of the real one." A sobbing, but stubborn Cat said.
"But they're in Las Vegas" Beck said as she sat on the couch.
"We can go to Las Vegas, and be part of it by celebrating with them afterward." Cat said as if it was the greatest idea she's ever heard.
"Cat, they're on their honeymoon, you can crash a wedding, you can't crash a honeymoon." Beck said, somewhat exasperated.
"Who says you can't?" Said Mandy, with a curious look on her face.
"Yeah, Mandy lets go to Las Vegas. They will be there until Sunday." Cat said suddenly perking up.
Beck got up and waved his hands in front of him. "No..No..That is such a bad idea."
Mandy smiled. "Hey they got married without telling us. Let's give them a piece of our minds in person. Besides I've always wanted to see Vegas anyway."
"But..But.." Beck started to say, knowing full well, he was going to loose the argument.
"Honey, how much is in our rainy day fund?" Mandy said in a rather honey coated and seductive voice.
"About 1700" Beck answered
"I have 7000 dollars in the bank" Cat proclaimed, causing Mandy and Beck to shoot her a curious look. Neither of them bothered to ask why.
"Come on Honey, I work at my moms beauty salon and she'll give me the time off. That guy Brian, at the store you work at is always looking for hours. You dump your shifts and I speak to my mom. Cat said she's off for the rest of the week, from her job. Come on, I want to celebrate with my sister and my new sister in law. We fly up, celebrate with them for a day or two and head back."
"You're both nuts." Beck said as he walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" Mandy asked.
"Get our suitcases, out of the storage area in the basement. I guess we're going to Vegas."
Meanwhile
Tori's eyes snapped open. Even though the blinds were down she could see it was broad daylight. Jade was still peacefully sleeping, her arms wrapped tightly around her Tori's body.
Beck had guessed very correctly. After a marathon fuck session, Jade and Tori had finally exhausted each other around 3:30 AM. Happily, they fell asleep in each others arms and slept in.
Looking at the clock on the nightstand, she saw it said
2:23 PM
Tori kissed Jade on the forehead, causing the Goth's eyes to open.
"OH..you're still here. I thought I left cab fare for you, downstairs on the table" Jade said with a smirk.
"Real funny, Jade" Tori said with a smile. "So what do you want to do today."
"How about this for a plan. We order some food from room service, after we eat, we take a shower, after the shower we spend the rest of the day fucking."
Tori grinned, and moved herself on top of Jade.
"How about we just skip the food and shower and just spend the rest of the day fucking."
Without missing a beat Jade said "Yes" Then she began to slowly kiss Tori's neck.
"I wonder, if anyone checked my face book update yet and know we're married." Tori mused.
"I doubt it" Jade said between Kisses.
Not too much actual Jade and Tori in this chapter. Sorry about that. I wanted to concentrate on everyone finding out and their reaction. Some are happy, some are angry, some are sad. Just to be clear, no one has any problem with Jade and Tori getting married in itself. It's just that they did it without telling anyone and in a horror themed ceremony. In any case, Jade and Tori are about to have their honeymoon crashed.
One can only imagine what will happen next.
