A/N: Hey guys, Happy New Year! How were your holidays? Mine were awesome; I mostly got money, but I got clothes too, etc. The new has already started and I've done nothing so far.

WARNING: This may be one of the last chapters

Jade's POV

I walked into the hallways of school completely hung over from the food poisoning that had hit me over the weekend, all because of that stupid carnival Vega and I went to Saturday. Honestly, the girl was gonna pay…But not this week, cause this week was Vega's birthday, and I did not wanna get on her bad side.

I soon saw my girlfriend talking to my ex-boyfriend, Beck Oliver and his current girlfriend, Cat Valentine. Usually we never sat at our table before classes started, so why were they sitting there now?

I sat down beside Vega without a word and sipped my coffee.

"Morning grumpy" Vega said chirpy

"Don't you start with me Vega" I spat out grumpily enough

"What could I've possibly done?" she whined

"Our little trip to the carnival gave me food poisoning for the rest of the weekend" I said to her.

She rolled her eyes and continued her seemingly interesting conversation with our friends as if I'd said nothing

"So you really don't wanna do anything for your birthday?" Beck asked intrigued, running his hand through his hair

"Nope, nada" Vega replied

"Why not?" Cat whined

"Not a big deal, just drop it" she said finally before getting up and heading for her first class just as the bell ring

I didn't get why Tori Vega didn't want to have a party to celebrate her 18th birthday. It was a big deal, and there was something behind why she didn't want a party, and I was going to figure out what it was.

Classes throughout the day were completely irrelevant. The only classes worth going to were Vocal, Writing and Sikowitz's. Believe it or not, we actually learned something from that crazy whacky of a teacher. He's so crazy that he gave me and Tori a challenge on the beginning of the year, and he demanded that we pretend to date for at least 6 months so we could learn to get along. Three months in, who would've thought that I would actually fall in love with Vega and her with me. It was so crazy that it became true. And the best part of this was that he didn't even know that we were faking faking dating. Thanks to his classes, he didn't know a thing.

We staged a few arguments or fights every now and then so it wouldn't seem not fake. He seemed to believe it; as far as anyone knew, we'd been dating from the start anyway.

At lunch, I excused myself from the pleasure of being with my friends so I could plan a little surprise.

Tori's POV

Where is Jade anyway? She didn't have any plans as far as I knew, so why was she not having lunch with the rest of us?

The half hour we had passed by in a flash and soon enough everyone was heading off to their respective classes, but me, I stayed behind. I wanted to take a five minute break alone; after all, it's senior year, and it's in my opinion, the hardest grade ever. There are midterms, SATs, homework, and not to mention college applications.

Just in case I don't get into Juilliard, I also planned on applying to UCLA, Princeton, Brown and Yale. My grades were very good, so I could get in no problem. What was bugging me though was what IF I didn't get into my dream school, what would I do with the rest of my life? Surely I could study Medicine or something, but it's not my calling. Music is and always be the right thing for me. It's eating me up not knowing what in for me in the future.

I got up lazily and headed to my next class, thank god it was with Jade though. When I got there, Jade was in her usual seat staring at nothing. The teacher wasn't there yet thankfully, so I took my seat next to her.

"Where'd you go babe? I missed you at lunch" I asked, kissing her lips, suddenly all worries melting away as if they were never really there.

"Nowhere" she said smiling, snapping out of her trance

"So, wanna come over to my place later? We could watch a movie or something?" I suggested since I hadn't seen my girlfriend since Saturday

"Or something" she said planting a final kiss on my cheek before she gave me the sexiest look ever

I laughed and looked anywhere but her eyes, her startling, amazing, beautiful, blue eyes. The teacher came in and I pretended that I was actually interested in what she had t say, but I really wasn't. I took some notes and at the end of the class, Jade and I parted ways to our next classes.

After classes, I drove home and took a long shower to clear my head. I dried my hair and put on a pair of shorts and a low cut tank top. I put my hair in a messy bun and popped some popcorn and got a can of Dr. Pepper out of the fridge.

I threw myself on the couch and waited for Jade to get here. I must've fallen asleep halfway through the Ellen DeGeneres Show, because next thing I know, I feel a blanket being put on top of me. I slowly open my eyes and see Jade snuggled up beside me eating popcorn and drink my soda. Unsurprisingly, she changed channels, something I didn't recognize.

I sat up and saw that she was watching Disney Channel.

"What're you watching babe?" I asked groggily

"Beauty and the Beast" she replied grabbing a fistful of popcorn

"What?" I screamed myself awake "That's like my favorite movie ever!"

"Really?" She eyed me with a suspicious look

"Yeah, I love the idea that you can love someone for who they are and not for their appearance" she said, glaring at the TV "This hasn't played in years"

I looked at her, and I saw that she'd just finished texting someone

"Who are you texting this time of night?" I looking at my arm even though I knew I didn't have a watch

"A friend. She owed me a favor" she replied calmly putting her phone in her back pocket

"A friend?" I asked suspiciously

"No, my lover. Of course it's a friend Vega" she snickered

"If it's a friend then you won't mind showing me right?" I asked, challenging her

"I can't" she replied

"You can't or you won't?" I said standing up

"Can't. You can't force it out of me Vega" she responded looking me right in the eyes

"Baby…" I said climbing on her lap "But I can"

I pressed my lips to hers and put my hands in her hair, completely messing it up. She quickly kissed me back and put her hands on my lower back, running her hands up and down my back. I moved to her neck and left a few marks there. I had her under my control, now all I had to do was get her phone. I slowly used my right hand to slide further down her back, but when I was about to get a good grip on the phone, she flipped us over, climbed over me and pinned me down on the floor.

"Sweetie" she said in that ridiculous voice of hers when she wanted to mock me "Not so fast, you know I wanna wait"

"I don't talk like that!" I said, trying to sound mad, but I ended up giggling

"Sure you don't" Jade said kissing me again and releasing my hands so she could wrap them around my neck

As much as I didn't want to, I pulled away

"Why won't you let me see?" I said, trying not to sound too upset

"It's private babe" she said looking into my eyes, and I knew she wasn't lying, but I couldn't help but feel sad

I turned my head, hoping she wouldn't see me tear up

"Hey, hey" she said softly trying to meet my eyes "What's wrong?"

"Today at lunch… and now… what's going on? Are you…?" I asked her, now freely letting the tears spill

"God no! NO, no, no, no!" she said frantically as she kissed my forehead "You think I'm cheating on you?!" her tone surprised

"What am I supposed to think?" I wailed

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing Vega!" she said grabbing my face "I wouldn't ever cheat on you, I work hard to get you and you think I'm gonna let you go that easy?"

"Well…" I said wiping my cheeks

"I love you, Tori. I really really really love you baby. Please don't think of anything like that ever again" she said letting one single tear escape from her ocean blue eyes

"I love you too, so much. I'm sorry" I said wrapping my arms around her

I don't know how long we stayed like that, holding on tight onto each other, but I knew it was very late when we got up and Jade leaded us to my room, we got under the covers and fell asleep together safely in each other's embrace, closer than we ever were before.

A/N: I've decided that this story is about to come to an end. This chapter is the last one before the FINAL chapter. This story has been going on for a year and I've finally found a way to end it. Next chapter will be at least 2,500 words, maybe more I don't know, but I'll try my hardest to make this story have a happily ever after. Maybe I'll even write a short Epilogue later… Thank you R&R. Also, can we try to get this story, at least 300 reviews by the end?
