Confused Feelings

[Cat's POV]

1 Week Later

"No you cheater!" Ariana screams at me as she snatches the deck of cards from me.

"I was just fixing the deck!" I giggle as she shakes her head.

"Yeah fixing it to where you get all the better cards!" She laughs as well as I.

Ariana and I have been spending almost every waking moment together besides when school keeps us apart. We've had so much to catch up on with each other and it's just crazy how much we are alike. Still to this day I can't believe this is her, my sister sitting in front of me. I hold her close sometimes, just to make sure it's real; to make sure she doesn't get away this time. I always pray that when I go home at night and go to sleep, that when I wake up that she'll still be here; that it wasn't just an amazing realistic dream and so far, it's been real. She's still here every day.

"Knock, Knock."

We both turn over to the entrance of Ariana's room to see Valarie standing in the doorway with her arms crossed smiling.

"Hey I hate to be the one to cut it short, especially it being a Friday night. But Ari has a performance tomorrow morning and I don't need her sleeping through it. I'm sure you wouldn't want that either." She lifts a brow at me as I just smile and shake my head.

"Ahhh, can we have just a few more minutes?" Ariana begs as she puts hands together in a pleading manner.

"It's already almost 11pm. I'm sure Cat and Tori need to get home soon as well. You'll see Cat at your performance tomorrow." She says putting her arm out in a way of telling me to get moving.

"It's okay." I say sliding off of her bed and grabbing the cards from her. I put them over on her night stand before watching her scoot to the top of her bed as I pull back her covers for her before tucking her in and kissing her on her cheek. "I love you Ariana."

"Love you to Caterina." She smiles before reaching up and pulling me into a tight hug. I give her one last kiss on her head before skipping over to the door to where Valarie stands smiling with her hand on the light switch.

"Goodnight Love."

"Goodnight Mom." Ariana says before the room goes dark and I step out behind Valarie pulling the door close behind me.

"You and Tori should probably be getting home. I don't want your parents to worry."

"My mom." I correct. "I don't think she'll care much anyways." I say as I look over at Ariana's door before feeling a hand go to my shoulder. "Your mom cares and Ariana will still be here tomorrow I promise Love. Stop looking at her door that way." She smiles before kissing me on my head and walking off towards her own room.

I just nod before turning the opposite direction down to Jade's room where the door is wide open to Tori and Jade laying out close together watching something off of Jade's tablet.

"Hey guys." I say before they both look my way; Tori giving a small smile and Jade sitting back and sighing. "Valarie said we should probably get going. It's getting late."

I watch as Tori checks her phone eyes wide. "Oh my god, I didn't realize it was so late!" She says before she quickly scoots off Jade's bed to retrieve her shoes from across the room. "We really need to get going Jade. Just call me later okay?"

"Why are you in such a rush? You told me your mom barely cares what time you get in." Jade says crossing her arms but not moving from the bed.

"Yeah, but still. I like to be home by a reasonable time."

"My name's Tori Vega and I make sure to be home before the sun goes down!" Jade mocks in an 1940's accent before she rolls her eyes and stands to her feet as Tori screams out about how she talks nothing like that and walks up to her. I just stand and watch as Tori wraps her arms around Jade in a tight hug that Jade returns with no problem which makes me sigh louder than intended making them both turn my way.

"Hey Cat, go ahead out to the car. I'll be there in just a few." Tori says with a small smile. They just want to get rid of me. They always do. Anytime they are alone and I show my presence, they try to find some type of way to get rid of me.

With a simple "okay" I was on my way out of the front door telling Ms. Valerie goodbye on the way out. I just stand against Tori's car as I kick a small rock out of my way. Okay yes, the relationship between Jade and Tori still bothers me a little bit. Just a little bit though. It's just that….most of my life I was chasing after her, trying everything to put her on my side, and Tori puts forth no effort, yet she's stealing Jade's heart. She's getting everything I ever wanted. I know I need to quit thinking on it. I said I would. I said I'd move on and just be happy for them and focus on the future I could have with Andre, but it's hard when it's poking you in the face, but I have no choice but to move on. So I am, and I will. Just…it takes a little bit of getting used to is all.

"Okay sorry, I took a little longer than expected." Tori says a little out of breath as if she ran all the way out here.

With a small shake of my head and a roll of my eyes, I just get in the car door she unlocked for me before she continued to her side.

"How was your night with Ariana?" She asks as she starts up the engine and starts to back out of the driveway.

"It was fine." I say quickly.

"Like always?" She chuckles, but I just give her a faint smile and turn my gaze out of the window.

The ride was silent before she came to a stop at a traffic light, and even thought I wasn't looking in her direction, I could see the frown on her face as she turned to me. "Is there something wrong?" She asks as I just give a sigh and start to play with my fingers in front of me.

"It's just…I don't know."

"It's what? You know you can talk to me about anything." She says as the light turns green but she seems to ignore it as she keeps her eyes on me.

"The light is green Tor." I gesture forward before she takes off slowly.

"It's nothing really. I just…nothing." I shake my head turning back to the window.

"Did something happen between you and Ariana?" She tries again. That's the thing with Tori. She doesn't know how to drop something. It's clear I don't want to talk about anything, but she's going to keep on until I do. I know she will.

"No Tori." I state irritably. "Just get us home please." And she does. She doesn't say anything else the entire ride back to our home, well not until she pulls into the driveway and puts the car in park. "Cat…."

"Yes Tor?" I ask with my hand on the handle ready to get out.

"….Does the relationship between Jade and I bother you?"

And there it is. She just had to. She knew anyways, but she had to. I give a loud sigh before letting the handle go and sitting back into my seat. "It's not that it does like it used to. I mean I'm over it all and…it's just-"

"-Over what?"

"Tori you know I had a crush on Jade forever! Don't play stupid!" I yell which I really didn't mean, but I could tell she was taken aback. "I'm sorry Tori." I sigh running my hand through my hair. "It's just not fair."

"…Cat I didn't mean to-"

"I know you didn't Tori. I mean it's not your fault that she likes you, you know? And I'm happy for you two I really, really am and I'm going to move on, I am moving on. It's just…all this time….it's like you two came out of the blue? Have you always liked her too Tor? Like I have?" I ask her as I turn to her pointing to myself and shaking my head. "I've tried so hard to have her heart, then it's like out of nowhere you two are kissing in the front seat of her car! Like where did that come from? Have you two always liked each other and I never knew about it? I'm getting over it I swear I am, I just want to know!?"

She looked at me with wide eyes, furrowed brows and an open mouth that moved but no words escaped. "…Cat I….we….we don't even know. It just….it just was. We've actually have yet to talk about our own true feelings for each other. We think we might be confused ourselves. I'm so sorry that you feel this way and I swear this never was intentional on either side. I know you like her Cat I do….and I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you or…." Her voice started to crack as her eyes watered. "I'm not the type to try to take someone from somebody and I'd never try to do that to you Cat. It just happened and… maybe…maybe Jade and I shouldn't see each other-"

"-NO! I'm not saying for you to leave her or anything. I understand that sometimes relationships aren't' meant to be, and apparently Jade and I was one of them. I just wanted to know where you guys started and how that started and…why? She always picked on you Tori? And now you like her? I just…it confuses me is all."

She shakes her head as she wipes her eyes. "It confuses us too Cat. We just….we don't know. We've grown onto each other. We keep putting off this very conversation that we need to have with each other. We were gonna talk about it, but she end up being grounded and we had to put the conversation on hold. We know we need to talk about a lot of things between us, because we just need to straighten things out ourselves. I just want you to know none of this was planned to ever hurt you in any way and I can promise you that Cat. I'd never want to hurt you. Never. I love you and I'm just so sorry."

I sigh again as I close my eyes and shake my head. "I know Tor. It's fine. I think I really like Andre anyways."

"You think?" She side smiles.

I shrug. "I don't know. He's supposed to be calling me sometime soon so we can go on another date."

"How was the first?" She asks a little brighter now that the topic is off of her and Jade.

I just nod. "It was really nice Tor. Really nice. I never knew he liked me. It's really new to for me and I have to get used to him, but he's a really nice guy. My best friend even, and…I don't know…his liking for me came out of the blue as well. It's like everything changed so quick. I was caught off guard with everything and it's almost like I have no choice but to just go with it, you know?"

Tori just nods. "I know, trust me." She smiles before leaning over and kissing me on my head. "I'm still so sorry. Let's get in the house, it's getting creepy out here." She smiles and I agree following right behind.


[Cat & Andre's Phone Convo]

Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring

Cat: "Hello?"

Andre: "Good Morning Little Red, how are you?"

Cat: "Good morning to you Andre, I'm fine, and you?"

Andre: "I'm okay. My Grandma kept yelling in her sleep last night. It kept me up. Now I'm exhausted and I have a performance tomorrow night to prepare for."

Cat: (Laughing) "She's always yelling! Why would you stay there?"

Andre: "She said her bed was creaking. She thought there was a cricket in it. Comes to find out, it's just an old bed."

Cat: "Your Grandma is so funny."

Andre: "Yeah not at 3am. Hey are you busy tomorrow tonight?"

Cat: "Not that I know of. Why?"

Andre: "I was wondering if you wanted to come to my concert and maybe we could catch a bite to eat after words or something. My treat."

Cat: "That sounds fun Andre."

Andre: "I'm talking that as a yes?"

Cat: "I'd love to."

Andre: "Alright, well I'll swing by around 6pm tomorrow then?"

Cat: "Kk!"

(Loud Banging)

Cat: "What's that sound?"

Andre: (Sighs) "My Grandma. Sounds like she's gotten into the pots and pans again. I'll give you a call later tonight. Sound okay?"

Cat: "Sounds great!" (Giggles)

Andre: "Alright then. Talk you soon. Have a good one."

Cat: "A good one what?"

Andre: "Have a good one as in a good day."

Cat: "Oh! Well you have a good one day too!"

Andre: (Laughing) "Alright Love. See you, bye"

Cat: "Byeeee"
