Jade POV

"Jade, me and you don't have the best history together and this needs to be clear out before moving forward." I knew that my response can make it or break it for the three of us and that terrifies me.

She's reading my face, trying to get a good read if I'm going to lie to her or not. I'm trying to appear open for her but it's hard to fight with years of keeping my walls up towards everyone, except Beck. "Well, here goes nothing."

I squeeze her hand that I'm still holding and start to talk, "I know this may seem strange coming from me because of the way that I had been treating you since you came to HA but I truly do like you and I do consider you one of my closest friends, of course after Beck and Cat. To be honest, the main reason behind my aggression was because of jealousy. When I first saw you with Beck on your first day, I really thought you were trying to hit on him and that kiss wasn't helping your case." I give a small chuckle at that.

I took a breath,"Then I notice that you're truly talented too. So, not only are you pretty but you talented too? You started to become my competition but then on the way, I can see that you have a big heart too." Tori has a small smile on her face "You were so willing to help me out, even when I wasn't my best towards you and I started to see another side of you that I was too blind to see. You became my friend, even when I couldn't admit it to myself. As time pass, my feelings for you grew and eventually, I knew that I like you in a more romantic way."

I stop talking to give her time to process my words. "Why did you kept being so mean then?" She asks. I shrug, "For no other reason then I was scared of letting you into a place that only Beck was allowed to be in."

"What change your mind?" She bites her lip.

"I was getting too tired of trying to keep it in, it was driving me crazy and also Beck help push it along." Beck was surprised to hear his name in my answer.

"Me? What do I have to do with it?" He asks

"Well, our talk last night and this morning help me find my confidence in doing this and help solidify that you want this too like I suspected." We smile at each other and he kisses the back of my hand.

I look back at Tori and she is smiling at us, it reminded me of when she helps me and Beck get back together and how happy she was for us. "So, Tori, I'm really sorry about the way the way that I treated you. I can't promise that I will completely stop being that Jade when we are in public but I promise that I will try my hardest to either stop or tone it down."

Tori nods her head, "Thank you for apologizing and I accept it. I want to apologize too because to be fair, I wasn't holding back either and I think that this is a good time to wipe the slate clean and start over. There is some trust that needs to be built between us and I want to see where things go for the three of us." She ended off with a shy smile.

We smile at her. Beck slips his arm from the back of from where Tori is seating and slip it around her waist and pull her closer in. Instead of feeling the normal jealousy and anger, I felt really happy to see them like that and I wish this table wasn't in the way so I can join them.

"Huh, I guess I really was telling the truth about being okay with them being together too. Good to know." I thought to myself and then I smirk, "Tori, you do know that this means that you're going to be on the opposite end of my jealous side."

She thought over my word and laugh, "Just try not harm anybody or kill them, okay?"

"No promises," I joke.

We sit there in comfortable silence, just happy that we got to talk out some stuff. It not magically going to go away but it is acknowledged and going to be work on in the future. I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice Janet bringing us our food.

"Well, isn't this such an adorable site to see?" She says, making us jump out of our bubble. We let each other go and give each other the appropriate amount of space in between each other. Me and Beck try to keep a cool composure but poor Tori was a basically turning red over there.

Janet laughs at us, "Aww, don't you kids get all embarrassed on me. Young love is such a beautiful thing and it should be cherished. I still remember the day when my Earland I went on on our first date. He was so handsome but the man was nervous and clumsy, I was afraid if everyone was going to survive the night. We went to a nice diner, similar to this one, and by the end of the night, the man had knocked over a glass of water on my lap, bump into a waitress that bump in another waitress that drop food everywhere and left his wallet at home, which ended up with me paying for dinner." She was laughing throughout the whole story. The three of us wasn't doing any better.

She continues, "And you know what? That made me fall in love with that man." Her eyes and smile soften up. "So cherish every moment that you have together and never take anything for granted." She gave us our food and left with a parting smile.
