Hate Love
"Stupid Vega," I muttered as I repeatedly stabbed my chicken with my knife, a scowl etched on my face.
"Um Jade, you're supposed to eat the chicken breast, not re-butcher it," Beck noted with a dry tone, which made me look up at him angrily.
"Why don't you eat a dick?" I retorted.
"Ouch. What did I do to deserve that?" Beck asked me with an amused grin on his face. I muttered and continued to stab at my chicken breast.
I know I shouldn't have taken it out on Beck that way but in a way, it was his fault. He had broken up with me a month ago and started a long distance thing with Carly Shay of iCarly after she and her gang came to expose the number one bastard known as Steven Carson two weeks ago.
And it made sense somewhat because Carly Shay and Vega are just alike. Both of them all nice and charming and sweet and bleh.
But still, I wonder why Beck decided on the iCarly star instead of Vega herself? Would be a lot easier on the guy but it seems they are happy and despite our break up, I'm glad he's happy.
"So," I began. "Where are Andre, Cat and the woody twins?"
"Robbie and Rex are out sick. Cat is currently web camming Freddie and Sam. Those three really hit it off and Andre is withTori, who is singing down at the-"
"I didn't ask about Vega," I hissed out, interrupting Beck.
"I'm sure you were going to," Beck countered before he asked me "Why can't you just be nice to her?"
I sneered at him and said "You know why? She's just so…so…ugh."
"I think you protest too much," Beck told me with a grin.
"Speak carefully or else you'll meet my scissors," I told him with a dangerous tone in my voice.
"Come on Jade, we both know that you like her," Beck continued. My threats never seemed to work on him and even when broken up, he showed this. "You two have been hanging out without the rest of the group. I know you went to her when we broke up the first time and the last time and she generally loves your company, despite how abrasive you can be. Why can't you admit you care?"
"I don't care," I said coolly.
"So if she got hurt tomorrow, you wouldn't care?" Beck asked me.
I hesitated for a moment and then replied "She could get hit by a bus tomorrow and I wouldn't care."
"Well that sure showed me," Beck said with an amused tone, which told me that he caught my brief hesitation.
"Why does it matter anyways?!" I exclaimed as I stabbed the knife into the table, doing the most impressive job of actually burying it into the hard plastic. "We're broken up! You shouldn't care who I care about or why!"
"Because I want to see you happy," Beck said with an easy going smile.
Ugh, damn him and his ways of calming me down! Can't he just let me be mad without working his calming mojo?
I grumbled and tugged at the embedded knife twice before freeing it from its prison and muttered "I shouldn't care…She's just a preppy, goody two shoesbusy body…I shouldn't care about her…"
"It doesn't hurt to care Jade," Beck said. "Sure, it could seem that way at times but it never hurts. I mean, I cared about you before we got together, I care about you now after we've broken up. Sure the way I care is different but that feeling is still there."
"Yeah, yeah…" I murmured. "Where is Vega anyways?"
"She's down in the auditorium," Beck replied. "Practicing her singing of course."
I rolled my eyes and stood up and said "I'm going to go scare her or something. Don't wait up."
Beck gave me a smile and waved as I departed.
I made my way to the auditorium and almost immediately, I could hear Vega's singing. I'd never admit it to anyone but something about her singing always made butterflies flutter in my stomach.
"Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you…"
She was sitting in the middle of the stage with a microphone in front of her, both of her hands on the microphone itself while Andre sat at the piano, playing a gentle tune.
I've heard her sing before but it was usually rock or pop music but this was so slow and gentle…
I never heard her sing this way before.
It sounded like she was putting all of her emotion into the song without getting loud like she normally did.
"Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel
Good enough"
It was then her eyes looked over the empty seating and I quickly ducked behind the wall so she could see me.
"I feel good enough
For you…"
She is really putting her soul into this song…I'm a little envious at whoever sparked this emotion in her.
"Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you
And I've completely lost myself and I don't mind
I can't say no to you."
I slide down the wall and shut my eyes and allowed myself to listen to her sing her little pure heart out for this mystery person, trying to quell this odd, jealous feeling in my stomach.
"Shouldn't let you conquer me completely
Now I can't let go of this dream
Can't believe that I feel
Good enough…"
I couldn't help but peek over the edge of the wall to see Tori. She looked so happy to be singing this but it wasn't the large smile I was used to. It was smaller but felt more genuine to me.
"I feel good enough
It's been such a long time coming
But I feel good
It was…Beautiful.
"And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me
'Cause I can't hold on
to anything this good enough!"
Fuck! Stop thinking this shit West!
"Am I good enough…
For you to love me too?"
My breath hitched as she sung those words for a moment, I felt my heart shatter. She sounded so unsure of herself. So insecure…Not like the Vega I was used to. It made me want…it made me…Want to…No, I can't finish this thought…
"So take care what you ask of me
'Cause I can't say no…."
And with those ending notes, Andre stopped playing and Vega slide her hands off the microphone. "How did that sound 'Dre?" Vega asked.
"Damn good Tor," Andre replied as he gave her a thumbs up.
"Thanks…" Vega replied softly.
"So…What made you want to sing this for concert?" Andre asked. "You were talking about singing something else so what changed?"
Awww shit.
I forgot all about the Hollywood Arts High Concert.
I don't have anything planned yet for it. Isn't that like next week or something?
Vega merely sighed which made Andre look sympathetic at her. "Tori, you need to get over her."
I'm sorry, what? Get over her? Tori was in love with a girl?
Wow, TIL.
But I'm curious, who was the girl that captured the goodie-goodie's heart? Was it Cat? I wouldn't be surprised, Cat was her best friend. Hell, Cat was all of our best friend. Okay, Maybe if I shut the fuck up, I could hear the name if any of them say it.
"I know…I should be happy with what fragile friendship we have but…I can't…I want to be with her but I know her heart belongs to Beck," Vega replied.
My heart seized up in shock.
Her heart belongs to Beck?
Whose heart? Carly's? No, that would be far too soon? Some other hussy that Beck has flirted with back in the day?
"I know they broke and I know Beck is with Carly now but deep down, I want her to be happy and she's happy with Beck," Vega told Andre but it was then I saw her smack the microphone stand to the ground in a rare show of frustration.
"But damn it all…I should have never allowed myself to fall in love with her," Vega said with a aggravated tone.
"I still can't believe how you fell in love with Jade in the first place when she treats you like shi-"
I had to cover my mouth to hide the shocked gasp that wanted to leave my lips.
Vega…good, prissy, pure hearted Vega…Was in love with me? Fucking me of all people?
Me…
Then that song?! That song was for me?!
Oh my god…
I quickly rose to my feet and ran out the exit and down the hall of the school.
I needed to get out of here.
But just as I reached the exit to the school, I paused.
What the hell was I doing?
Why was I running away from this?
I'm Jade fucking West! I should be facing this shit head on. Sure, my e-emotions aren't up to snuff but I can face them when pressed. "Hey Jade!" Vega's voice called out from behind me.
I quickly left the building.
"So take care of what you ask of me…'Cause I can't say no…" I sang as I stared at my ceiling.
Damn her!
She got that damn song stuck in my head.
But she made it for me…
No West, we cannot start thinking that way!
I clenched my eyes shut and let out harsh growl. "Damn it…Damn it, damn it, damn it!" I screamed in anger before I shut my eyes. Why did I have to search her out? I should have just kept to my guns and said that I didn't care about what happened to her.
And yet Beck Jedi mindtricked my fine ass into it!
And now, I realize that Victoria Vega is in love with me…
But what do I do with this knowledge? I may be a mean bitch but I wouldn't dare use her emotions to my benefit.
Especially considering…considering that maybe I…
No.
If I admit it, then I have to do something about and I don't want to deal with it right now.
Instead, I need to focus on the Hollywood Arts Concert. If I focus on that, I can forget about this for now.
But as I began to write on the paper, I could hear Tori's heartfelt singing in my head.
"Am I good enough…
For you to love me too?"
Damn it!
I hate her.
I hate her…I hate her! I hate Victoria Vega! I hate everything she stands for! I hate her, I hate everything about her…I hate her beautiful face, her expressive eyes, her fucking smile, her slim and petite body…God that body…I-I mean I hate her body!
I hate her body, I hate how much she cares about me and my emotions, I hate how she keeps trying to be in my life, I hate that no matter how many times I can push and prod, she would always treat me like her friend and forgive me for every heinous thing that I've done to her while being completely loyal to me when Beck tried to kiss her those two times.
And I hate that I love her…
Fuck my life.
Rain: And that is all there is to this chapter of the Two-Shot. The next chapter will be the end of it so until then!
Jade: Peace out people!
