Disclaimer on chapter 1
Jade POV
I was basically walking back and forth in the grand theater. I find it is where I do my best thinking. I told Baby that as much as I loved Tori I had to stay away from her. After the nightmare incident Baby made me spill everything on the table and tell her what was going on. It felt good to finally be able to tell someone everything.
I made Baby promise me that she will keep Tori away from me. It hurts so much. After hours of convincing Baby finally said yes.
"What do you want me to do? Beat the crap out of her until she leaves you alone?" she asked me toward the end of the third hour.
"If it comes to that then yes. She has to stay away from me Baby, even if it's out of fear." I explained to her.
"I don't like this Jade."
"Listen knowing Tori, she will confront you sooner or later. And the rest is you." I reassured.
"Or what you scripted for me."
"Stop Baby I know what I'm doing."
"I just don't get it if she makes you happy then why-"
"Because I lose Danni that way, and I'd rather have Danni happy than me." I said turning from Baby so she wouldn't see how much I actually hated this plan.
"Yeah, because it would make Danni happy that you are ripped from you happiness and love" she said turning me back around to face her.
"I'll still have you"
"I'm not the one you love or the one who makes you happy, that is why I'm still here."
I knew exactly what she was saying with that sentence, and she was right on a number of levels. Because I didn't lover her the way she or Tori loves me it made her safe. But since I did love Tori, well you know.
I continued to walk back and forth on the stage, thinking about everything around me that was crumbling. I saw a rush past the stage door. Which means that Baby is a good friend. I hope Tori is ok.
Then it hit me, if I was going to get Tori off my back then I would have to tell her myself. It would have more meaning if it came from me. If she heard it from Baby she would think that it was just words from a jealous ex-girlfriend.
"Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again"
I started to walk off the stage as I started to sing.
"I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean"
The halls were empty as I walked through them.
"I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again"
Which made it a bit harder to find where the fight actually was.
"I hurt much more
Than any time before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused"
I heard shouting finally, the only problem was I couldn't pin point where it was coming from.
"I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight"
The sound lead me to a second story window where I was able to spot the fight in the parking lot.
"I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends"
I looked down and saw Baby giving Tori a free shot. Tori took the opportunity to go for Baby's face, something that Baby was counting on. Before Tori's hand could make contact with Baby's face, Baby grabbed Tori's wrist and put her in a hold.
"I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean"
I ran down stairs to meet them. I knew that Baby was bluffing and that Tori couldn't hurt her if she tried and her life depended on it, but I had to get down there.
"I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight"
I finally got down to the parking lot where I saw Tori in one of Baby's sleeper holds. By the time I got up to Baby, Tori was knocked out and Baby was saying "Shh, shh, go to sleep little bitches, go to sleep, the girls will meet you in the mornings"
"Really? You've used that lullaby so many times." I asked as I kneeled down to inspect the damage to Tori's body.
"I didn't hit her" Baby said as she held Tori's head in her lap. I looked up at her "I wouldn't hit someone unless they are trying and could hurt me. There is a reason I left the UFC, Jade" she said as she stood up with Tori in her arms "Don't ask me to do this again."
We took Tori to the nurse's office.
"No, no I didn't hit her" Baby was talking to the nurse as I sat next to Tori as she lay on the bed, "yes she will be awake in a while, thank you"
The nurse walked away and Baby joined me.
"You should tell her" Baby stated to me simply.
"No" I said flatly
"God, damn it Jade. Everything that makes you happy you push away why. Why is it so hard for you to open the fuck up! I mean look what happen to us?"
"Hay I didn't"
"You didn't what Jade? Cheat on me with a guy and then break up with me to get with him? He was a fuckin guy, Jade" she yelled at me "you're a fuckin lesbian!" that was the first time I heard that since the promise. "We made each other happy and you pushed me away. Now I don't make you happy, instead this girl does." She pointed down at Tori. "This girl was going to get her ass kicked by a professional UFC fighter for you and you're pushing her away worse than you did me. You say that it's your mother that is ruining your life and she is so terrible. I believe that your mother is a bitch and a homophobe but when it comes down to your happiness, that is all you Jade. Because your mother didn't rip us a part, nor was it that dick! It was you Jade."
"My sister-"
"do you think your sister wouldn't understand? Danni is a really smart kid she will understand that her mother is a bitch. The court date is getting closer, so you better get your shit together. And you are not going to win if you have your unhappy ness and this chick on your mind. Don't you get it Jade? If you win you can get Danni and Tori."
"Excuse me" I heard a small voice behind me.
Baby POV
I turned to see the red head from the party and the hall way.
"Is Tori going to be ok?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah, she'll be fine. The worst thing she will have is a headache when she wakes up." I said smiling at the red head.
I looked over at Jade "think about what I said" I told her as I started to walk out of the room.
"Hay, you are that one chick who beat Shelby Marx, huh" the small read head asked. She was probably two inches shorter than me which was new since I hung around Jade who was about three inches taller than me.
"Yeah, that was me. You don't look like the kind to watch the fights though." I said looking at her, this girls hair was really bright, like a modern little mermaid or something.
"Yeah well my brother used to watch a lot of fights until my parents stopped him for starting fights with manikins in Target."
"How unfortunate" I laughed.
"Can I have your autograph?"
"Um, sure, you got a paper something?" I asked her.
"Here" she said handing me a pen.
"Paper?" she just smiled at the word and handed me her wrist. Our eyes met.
"Go ahead and put our number down as well" she said slyly
"Smooth" I commented as I signed my name and put my number as requested. "See you around…"
"Cat" she continued for me
"See you around Kitty" I laughed as I left the room.
