Sitting in the back of Sikowitz's class was always my spot, I rarely sat at the front or middle unless the other chairs were filled.
But sitting here, with Tori beside me, I got to annoy or distract her.
It was starting to become a habit, having my hand on her thigh, fingers slowly drawing patterns across her inner thigh and feeling her skin erupt with goosebumps, it was therapeutic for me.
I looked at Tori, she looked pale and her skin felt clammy, so I leaned close to her, whispering. "You okay?"
She shook her head, handing her coffee cup to me before standing and running out of the room.
Sikowitz went silent as she left before looking at me.
"Is there a reason young Tori has left?"
"Sick," I said before he nodded and waved a hand.
I took that as a sign to go after her. I picked both our bags up and dropped the empty cups in the trash before leaving.

As I stepped into the bathroom, Tori stepped out of a stall, our eyes locked in the mirror as she gave me a weak smile and washed her hands before grabbing some paper towel, wiping her mouth.
She bent down, rinsing her mouth out under the tap and then shut the tap off, wiping her mouth with the paper towel again.
"You okay?"
She nodded.
"Couldn't keep it down any longer," she said softly and I stepped forward, hugging her.
"Want to go to the nurse?"
"No, I feel better now, it's okay."
"Ready to go back to class?" I asked, rubbing her back.
She nodded against my chest.
"I need to go to my locker and get some mints," she said, and I stepped back from her.
We made our way out of the bathroom and towards her locker, I stood by her as she dug through it and waited.
As she clicked her locker closed, she smiled at me as she popped the mint into her mouth before we both made our way back to sikowitz's class.

After school, I took Tori to my place, she said she missed Riley, so I happily granted the silent wish of them both being able to see each other cause I know he missed her too.
"Your mum looks mad," Tori said as I parked in the driveway.
"Huh?"
She pointed to the door where my mum was standing with her arms crossed and a look of disappointment on her face.
I pushed the door open and stepped out of the car, looking over at Tori.
"Jade, can we speak in private?" My mum asked.
"Whatever You've got to say, Tori can hear it," I said, slipping my hand into Tori's.
"Okay, why don't we go sit down with some coffee?" She asked.
"Yeah, okay," I nodded. "I'll make them."
We moved through the foyer towards the kitchen when Tori dropped my hand. "I just need to use the toilet," she said and I grabbed her bag, kissing her cheek before continuing through to the kitchen.
I set our bags on the back of the table out of the way, then started on making the coffee's.
I set up making Tori's first, so it could cool enough that she could drink it straight away.
"Do you want me to wait till Tori comes back?" My mum asked.
"If you want."
"How about I start?" She stood by the sink, keeping her arms crossed.
"Okay."
"I was looking for some batteries for the remote in the playroom, when I remembered you told me you had spares I could borrow," she said.
"Did you find them?"
"And something else."
My mind caught up to what she was hinting at.
I remember that I put the scan of the baby in my top draw where I kept the batteries.
"Oh," I nodded slowly, making the coffee for my mum and I next.
"Anything you need to tell me?"
"It's not mine," I said, looking up at her. "It's a friends. I took them to the doctors appointment when they found out and put the scan in my bag, I forgot to give it back to them."
"It's mine," Tori said, her voice cracking as she spoke.
Both mum and I turned to look at her, my mother's face dropping to one of concern.
"You're pregnant?"
Tori nodded.
"I guess Jade hasn't told you about how we've grown so close," Tori said, nervously tugging at the hair tie on her wrist.
"No, she hasn't."
"Well," Tori looked at me and I nodded.
"Say whatever you're comfortable with," I said, moving to her side.
"Can you?" She whispered.
"Okay, let's get our coffee and sit down."

After we told my mother everything up till today, she had tears in her eyes by the end of it.
"Jade saved you?" She laughed softly.
"Yeah, she did. In more ways than one. On multiple occasions," Tori said, smiling as she rubbed my thigh. "I'm thankful for her."
I looked at her, a small smile of my own on my lips as our eyes met.
"I love you," I murmured softly.
Tori's face ran through a vary of emotions before she kissed me.
"I love you too, Jade."
"Okay you two," My mum said, a small smile on her lips when I looked over at her.
"Sorry," Tori said, blushing.
"It's okay, I'm just happy you're both happy."
My phone started buzzing in my pocket, I pulled it out and smiled. "I'm gonna get Riley off the bus."
"Can I?" Tori asked.
I nodded, grabbing our empty coffee cups and taking them through to the kitchen as Tori jumped up and made her way out the front.
~•~Jori~•~
Tori called her dad and asked if she could stay for dinner, and the night, which he agreed too, so after we ate, Tori, Riley and I sat on the couch watching Swamp Thaaang, a poorly directed wannabe horror film that had both Tori and I in stitches over how bad the acting was.
Riley laughed whenever someone was murdered, the insane amount of fake blood made me laugh.
"There's no way that much blood would come from someone that small," I said, threading my fingers through Tori's.
"Pups!" Riley yelled loudly as an advertisement for Paw Patrol came on the tv.
"You wanna watch pups after this?" I asked him.
Riley nodded quickly and I smiled.
"Okay, after this," I promised him.
"Paw patrol?" Tori asked softly.
"Only the best tv show ever," I said with a tint of sarcasm in my tone, making her look at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Just wait and see," I said, patting the top of her hand with my free hand.
"Sounds ominous," she said softly, snuggling against my side.
~•~Jori~•~
Part way through the Paw Patrol Mighty Pups movie, my mum told Riley it was time for bed, making him make a noise of protest and point to the tv as he hugged his Marshall toy.
"Okay, finish the movie then bed time," my mum said, making him bounce in his seat.
"What is Mayor Humdinger doing?" Tori muttered, shaking her head.
"Sh , just watch," I said, laughing softly at how wrapped up in the children's program Tori was.
"How-"
"Sh," I said before she could question anything more.
"But," she pouted against my hand as I dropped it over her mouth.
"I'll answer your questions when the movies over, okay? Suspend all your disbelief, Vega."
She licked my palm, making me scrunch my face in playful disgust and wipe my hand on her shoulder as she smirked.
"I love you, but you need to hush so we can finish the movie in peace."
She smiled brightly and snuggled into my side, sighing softly as she nuzzled my neck.
I felt her turn her head slightly so she was watching the movie and she gasped as Ryder made the giant flashlight point towards the back of the large robot that Howard Humdinger built to get his telekinesis powers.
~•~Jori~•~
As Tori and I got into bed after putting Riley to bed, she looked at me expectantly and I rose an eyebrow, smiling softly at her before pulling the blankets over my legs.
"Okay, go on… ask your questions," I said and Tori launched into her questions.
"How can the pups talk? How did they know to be good? How come Mayor Humdinger is an ass? Are they the only pets that can talk? How come that one had ice powers? And another water, and the others mostly related to their colours?"
"Okay," I nodded slowly, trying to process them all.
"Skye, well obviously she knows how to fly because she's the air pup. Marshal is the fire pup, that's a standard thing… all the Dalmatians being a fire mascot, y'know?" She nodded, waving a hand for me to continue.
"Rubble, he's the construction pup, that's why he got the strength and digging powers, Chase, he's the police dog, so he got the speed, and that's pretty much his power, Zuma is the the water pup, he loves water. So it's only fair that he got his powers that related to water. Rocky, he's a recycling pup, he loves to keep things to reuse later, and fixes a lot of things… Everest isn't part of the group that much, she's not in every episode. She's a snow pup."
"Are they the only animals that can talk?" She asked.
"Them, and Tracker, he's another pup, but he wasn't here for some reason… the dogs as far as I can remember are the only ones hat can talk… and a parrot, but not talk like them…"
Tori seemed satisfied with my answers, so she cuddled against my side and held tight to me.
"That Chicken is the centre of most problems, isn't it?" She asked.
I nodded, smiling. "Ready to sleep?" I asked.
"One more question," she said through a yawn.
"What is it?"
"Why doesn't anyone find it strange that dogs can talk?"
"No idea, Vega."
"Goodnight, Jade."
"Goodnight, Tori," I said as I kissed the top of her head.
