Outgoth the Goth
Chapter 17A – Unbeatable (Alternate/Expanded chapter)
I recently put this story on my account on wattpad. When I put stories on Wattpad I frequently correct mistakes and in some cases add extra content. I find it fun to revisit some of my old stories. Here is the final chapter of OutGoth the Goth, with a bit of extra content near the end. I thought I'd put it on there for you nice people. This version is about 1100 words longer than the original version.
No One's POV.
After watching the two ambulances carry Ponnie and Wednesday away, Jade raised her fist triumphantly.
"How's that for fucking unstoppable, not to mention unkillable. I broke my cousin, evaded her death traps and got the girl. I am unbeatable!"
Tori kissed her on the cheek. "You're adorable, even with an overinflated ego."
Jade put her arm around the Latina as they walked back to the car. "And I thought that was my attractive feature."
Tori playfully smiled and shook her head and poked one of Jade's breasts. "Nope, it's those and they're all mine."
Jade frowned. "What do you mean by, all mine? They seem to be attached to my chest and not yours."
Still smiling, Tori merely stroked a singer finger under Jade's chin. "It's dinnertime and I'm hungry for a very expensive and romantic dinner date."
"Hungry for an expensive and romantic dinner date. Are you now? Perhaps I should have left you left you in that basement." Jade said with Mock annoyance.
Tori shrugged and again poked Jade's breasts. "Attitude like that, will not get your girls played with."
"Expensive and romantic it is. Best of all, you get to be seen with me. Just please stop poking my boobs in public."
With a playful expression and in full view of the other officers, Tori just reached out and grabbed both of Jade's breasts.
Before the shocked Goth could respond Tori pointed at the left one and in a tender voice said. "I'm naming you Bonnie." Then Tori pointed to the right one. "I'm naming you Chica."
"Are you seriously naming my girls!" Sputtered Jade.
An innocent smile forming on Tori's, face she said "I already licked them, so why not."
"You really take the cake Vega, you really do."
With a devious look in her eye, Tori grabbed Jade's crotch and whispered in her ear. "I plan to eat it too….."
"Vega, I'm quite pleased you know what you like." Jade said with just a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
Tori turned back towards the car and purred, "Oh…you'll be pleased alright."
With a smile on her face, Jade along with Tori piled back in the car and Cat drove them home. On the way, the radio was reporting of the mysterious explosion that destroyed a bar and wiped out an entire female motorcycle gang. Her worries about being blamed quickly vanished, when the police representative attributed the explosion to the improper storage of volatile chemicals, that were being used in a very drug lab under the bar.
Upon hearing that Jade smirked proudly. "Told you….I'm unbeatable."
Tori merely rolled her eyes.
Once Cat Dropped off Tori and Jade at her house, Jade took Tori out to dinner on a very romantic date. Jade just like being with Tori and just seeing the Latina happy, made Jade happy.
After dinner, Jade took Tori for along moonlight walk on the beach. Little was said, but very little needed to be said. Each was with the other they wanted to be and were happy with that.
"It's getting late; it is a school night you know?" Tori said.
Jade looked at her phone, it was 11:15. "You're right…Oh my god, I almost forgot….I need to do something."
"What?" Replied, a confused Tori.
"Oh, I need to go and unlock someone…."
They drove to the same movie theatre where Jade and Wednesday had left John handcuffed to a chair many hours previous. As they pulled up to the theatre, Jade was finishing her explanation of what happened.
"So me and Wednesday, handcuffed him to a chair with a ball gag in his mouth. The fourth and final movie is over and I've come to release him."
Tori gave Jade a dubious look. "Are you releasing him because it's the right thing to do or just want to gloat some more? You've been doing it all day. He's bound to be very upset; you know."
Jade shrugged. "So be it then."
The girls entered the theatre where they found the manager. "So how's our boy been today? Loud and angry as hell I'll bet."
"For about the 2/3's of the first movie, then he suddenly got very quiet and been that way ever since. At least no one has complained about him. That's all I know officer."
"Thank you. The last movie is nearly over, so we'll go in and let him go."
"You're welcome and for the press release, my name is Brian Perri. It's spelled with a I instead of a Y."
Jade nodded, "Yes of course."
As they walked away, Tori gave Jade a nasty look. "We're going to have a long talk about this officer stuff. In the meantime, I'd advise you not to let my father see your little badge. He's not likely to be very happy about it."
"Don't worry baby, I'll ask my cousin Pugsley to get you one too. "
Tori's response was quick and loud. "JADE!"
"Ok, Ok, I'll even have him toss in an FBI one."
Tori raised an eyebrow. "He will?"
At this point they entered the theatre as the last movie As Jade expected, John was still sitting in the seat, much as he had been. But much to their surprise he was not alone.
A well-built man of about his age with blond hair was holding his hand and feeding him popcorn. Jade assumed this other person must have removed John's ball gag.
Puzzled, Jade and Tori waited for the movie to finally and for the credits to start rolling. Once the lights came up Jade approached John and his new friend.
"Hello John. Found a friend I see." Said Jade, looking rather smug.
The other man stood up and shook Jade's hands. "Hello, I'm Tim. Pleased to meet you officer. I'm in public service myself, I'm, a fireman. I'm sorry I removed the gag, but he was hungry and wanted to talk to me."
Jade quickly unlocked John and before Jade knew it, John burst into tears hugged her. "Thank you….thank you. I've been so afraid all my life. So full of fear and self-hatred. You forced me to confront my fears and self-hatred straight on. You're such a wonderful human being. Not only did you force me out of the closet, but if it weren't' for you, I'd have never met Tim. He's been with me for the last 3 movies and he's wonderful. I've never been so happy in my life. I'm gay and found a man that loves me for me."
Startled, Jade pulled back and said. "Uh..you're welcome, I guess."
John then hugged Tim and gave him a huge kiss.
Tim then said, "He's going leave that horrible anti-gay church and attend mine. We accept all people. John was so confused and full of self-hatred. You forcing him to watch these movies was the most wonderful thing a person could have ever done. John and I have hit it off beyond anything I could have imagined. We have so many interests in common. Thank you."
Jade smirked "Hey, glad to be of service. Anything else you need?"
Looking slightly embarrassed John wiped his tears and whispered. "Um…Tim's invited me to his place tonight. Can I borrow those handcuffs. I kind of…."
Chuckling, Jade nudged him in the ribs and handed him both pairs. "Say no more, say no more, nudge nudge. Know what I mean."
"Thank you ever so much. Jade, you're a beautiful person. We mean that. Goodbye." John said as he took Tim's hand and walked away.
Grinning ear to ear, Jade watched them leave. "I'm a wonderful human being and unbeatable. What more can I say."
Tori kissed Jade on the lips. "Yes you are, rapidly growing ego and all."
The next day, Jade returned to school triumphant. Not only could she show her new girlfriend Tori off, she broke the news that Wednesday would not be returning.
"What happened?" Said a startled Beck. "And wasn't Wednesday dating Tori."
"She's with me now. Moving on up. Wednesday and Crazy Ponnie who was with her were both in a terrible car crash. They won't be back, let's us never speak of Wednesday again."
"I liked Wednesday." Protested Robbie.
Jade leaned in and glared at the curly haired boy. "Let us NEVER speak of Wednesday again! Did I not say it clear enough for you to hear it the first time? This group has a super Goth, you don't need her, capise?"
"Ok" The group said in unison.
Two days later it was Saturday and Jade was looking forward to dinner which was her very favorite lasagna. Tori was going to meet her mother and it would be a fun night. Jade's father having returned from fleeing the house, got called away on business unexpectedly.
Tori and Jade had spent the day at the mall and returned to Jade's house at 5:30 with big appetites.
Entering the home, she found the house was filled with the wonderful smell of baking lasagna and garlic bread. Just the smells, caused their mouths to water.
"We're in the back dear on the patio?" Called Carolyn, as Tori and Jade entered the house.
They emerged on to the patio, to find both Morticia and Carolyn. They were talking as if they were the closest sisters in the world.
"Hello Aunt Morticia"
Morticia stood up, smiled at Jade, then looked to Tori. "Hello Tori, so nice to see you again. I'm quite pleased you survived. I may have underestimated you."
Tori wasn't sure how to respond. "Uh…thanks…I guess…"
Jade sat down at the patio table, still looking very pleased with herself. "So how's my cousin?"
"In a full body cast. Pugsley sends his eternal gratitude as he gets first choice of rooms in our new home?"
Jade raised an eyebrow. "New home?"
"Gomez and I have decided to move back out east. We found a wonderfully run-down mansion on the edge of a rather gloomy South Carolina swamp. We felt the atmosphere there would be more conducive to her recovery. It's also near the Maximum-Security prison hospital that her love Ponnie, is now confined too. She is also in a body cast. So I'm here to say goodbye."
Jade looked to her mother who while she said nothing, looked as pleased as punch. They were getting along now, but Jade strongly suspected it would not last.
Morticia then walked over and hugged Jade. "Well I'm proud of you Jade. You wiped out an entire biker gang in one shot. Very impressive. You're shaping up to be just as deadly as your mother. Come visit us sometime. We can dig up all our relatives and you can meet them personally."
Jade nodded with a smirk. "Goodbye aunt Morticia. Send Wednesday my love."
"I certainly will."
Morticia then said goodbye to Tori and then hugged her sister.
"We must keep in touch dear sister."
Carolyn chuckled. "So you know where to send the assassins, of course?"
Morticia smiled and kissed her sister on the cheek. "Of course, Love you sister."
"Love you too Morticia?" The odd thing to Jade was that she sounded as if she meant it.
Morticia then waived and left.
Once Morticia was gone Jade jumped for Joy. "Hooray, things are just going my way. Wednesday is out of my hair permanently. I have made it through all the deathtraps and secrets my family has to offer. I'm unbeatable."
Carolyn looked away for a moment. "Jade, arrogance is not a flattering trait for a proper lady."
Jade instantly frowned. "You looked away. You're hiding something else. What?"
Carolyn walked over to Tori and greeted her warmly. "So nice to meet you finally, we have much to talk about. I'm Carolyn. Dinner will be ready in a half an hour. Can I get you a drink?"
Jade growled and confronted her mother. "You didn't answer my question!"
Carolyn waved her hand dismissively. "It's nothing dear. Absolutely nothing."
Her Jaw hardening, Jade huffed. "WHAT!"
Tori put a hand on Jade's shoulder. "Jade, maybe you should leave this alone?"
"NO! I WANT TO KNOW THE SECRET AND NOW!" Jade demanded.
Carolyn West sat down and took a long drink of her Martini. "Jade, it's nothing and you really don't want to know it. You really should listen to your pretty and wonderful girlfriend."
Getting angrier by the second, Jade fumed. "I'M UNBEATABLE. I CAN HANDLE IT. TELL ME NOW!"
Carolyn shrugged. "If you insist."
"Yes I insist."
Carolyn took a deep breath. "After I set my parents' house in fire, I set out on my own. It was the 90's and I took a number of different Jobs, including one as a backup singer for a very popular music group, on one of their tours."
Jade nodded, looking slightly interested. "OK. Which group. Aerosmith, Nirvana, who?"
With a faint smile, Carolyn said. "It was the mega popular boy band, The tough guys on the street."
Jade's face instantly fell, upon hearing that name.
In the early and mid-90's, the four member group, usually referred to as TTGOTS, was literally the most popular boy band in the world. With several multi-platinum selling albums and sold-out tours all over the globe, they were a powerhouse, with legions of fanatical teen fans.
To Jade this news was not good news at all. Jade utterly despised Boy bands. She despised them, their music and their fans and held them in the lowest contempt possible. To know her mother once sang backup, filled Jade with utter disgust.
"Ooohhh I love their music." Tori squealed, earning her a hateful glare from Jade.
"Mom! Never talk of that or mention that again! I hate boy bands."
Tori thought for a minute. "Wait, didn't they all mysteriously disappear?"
Carolyn nodded. "Yes, after their 4th album got released, they chartered a Yacht to film a music video for a song about a boy band, that disappears in the Bermuda Triangle. In a case of life imitating art, their yacht vanished in the Bermuda triangle, while filming it. Their last radio message said something about a really strange looking cloud, that was following them. But radar indicated no clouds of any type near their last reported position. It was a perfectly calm day and no trace of the yacht was ever found. It remains a mystery to this very day. Terrible tragedy."
Jade didn't look amused. "I don't care, they're gone, One less horrible boy band and that's a good thing. I don't ever want to hear of that again."
"Jade my dear." Said Carolyn, with a sheepish look. "That's not actually the secret."
Jade's face fell further. "It isn't? Than what?"
Carolyn paused for a moment. "Ah….One of them is your real father!"
Abruptly the very little color in Jade's face vanished, as her jaw slowly fell open. Seconds later Jade began to shake, as a look of utter horror filled her eyes.
"NO…no….It can't be true." Squeaked Jade, now on the verge of tears.
"It is."
Now trembling uncontrollably Jade gasped. "Which one?"
Looking even more sheepish, Carolyn said. "Um…I don't exactly know!"
All Jade did in response, was to start to hyperventilate.
"Well Jade, you see, it was 18th birthday part of Aaron, the youngest member of the band. They were all adults and rather proud of it. Let's simply say the birthday party got a little out of hand. I liked him and gave him a "PRESENT" I liked giving it so much, I sort of gave the same "PRESENT" to the other three members of the band. You were born exactly 9 months later. I didn't meet Brad West, the man who loves you as his own daughter until 3 months later."
Tori rushed over to the now stricken Jade, as she managed to croak out. "You slept with ALL OF THEM!"
A rather embarrassed smile formed on Carolyn's face. "It was a real wild party, what can I say. I never got the chance to tell them, as they vanished in the Bermuda Triangle a few months later."
Now beginning to cry, Jade wailed. "NO…..No…..I'm the lovechild of a boy band."
"Those four guys were so nice and very down to earth, not to mention demons in the sack. Naturally, I felt very bad about them disappearing. So bad in fact, I named you after them?"
Jade upon hearing that, looked at her mom in shock, not that she was already in shock to begin with.
"Well your name is JADE. J for James, the leader of the group, A for Aaron the cute one of the group, D for Derek who every called Mr. Adventure and E for Edward, the smart one. Besides being smart, was he ever hung…oh my god! But I digress. Any questions?"
The knowledge that not only was she the love child of a member of a boy band, the news she was actually named after the group, was devastating. In fact, nothing she had seen, learned or experience in the last three weeks, was more utterly soul crushing that that.
Jade at this point began to sob hysterically and grabbed Tori tightly.
Carolyn casually finished her martini and said mockingly. "I told you so. That you really didn't want to know that secret. But did you listen to me Jade, Nooooo….Jade can't listen to anyone, because she's unbeatable."
A few moments later, Tori said looking just a bit worried. "Uh Mrs. West, she's not letting go of me and it looks like she's kind of falling apart."
Carolyn West got up and tried to calm her daughter down. Tori also tried and they both failed, as all Jade did was sob uncontrollably and refused to let Tori go.
Taking a sip of her martini, Carolyn Nodded. "Your quite right. In fact, I think she's suffering a nervous breakdown. I'll call Dr. Bamwell, then I'll get you a drink and we can talk until the doctor arrives. You'll love my lasagna."
Carolyn was right. Jade had lived through everything that Wednesday had tossed at her and came out on top feeling invincible. But the knowledge of her own father and where her name came from, caused the Goth to suffer a total nervous breakdown. It would be 2 full days before Jade stopped crying and 3 days before she could let Tori go. Tori during that time, discovered just how hard it was to pee with a sobbing Goth clinging to you.
But for Tori, it was a labor of love. She loved being able to feed, bath and dress Jade, who for the first week was capable of little else other than crying and blankly starring off into space.
Tori had gotten permission from her parents to temporally live at the west home and take a few weeks off school. Cat brought Tori's homework. In that time Tori loved being to help bring her love back and utterly enjoyed the unlimited Jade cuddles she got.
There was one slight bump along the way, about 3 weeks after Jade's breakdown. She had mostly returned to normal and was getting better every day, but was still prone to fits of crying and even the mention of that boy band's name was enough to cause Jade to twitch uncontrollably. It was a Saturday night and Tori had Jade out to eat. Jade had been in for the last few weeks while she recovered and this was her first outing. The dinner had gone well, followed by a very nice romantic walk on the beach. Afterwards Tori and Jade had returned to Jade's and were both getting ready for bed. They hadn't had sex yet as Tori wanted Jade to be cured before they took that step.
Tori was finishing up in the bathroom, while Jade got dressed for bed. She threw on her robe and walked into the bedroom and closing the door behind her. There she found Jade standing there, starring into the mirror with a most puzzled expression on her face.
"Tori?" Jade said as a look of slight suspicion grew on her face.
Walking over, Tori kissed Jade on the cheek. "Yes dear?"
Jade looked at herself in the mirror and with utter disbelief studied the lace trimmed, silk pink nighty she was wearing. It was beautiful, it was very feminine, it was very very soft and most importantly very pink.
"I.." Jade started, looking both confused and just a bit suspicious. "I got ready for bed, went into my dresser, pulled this out and put it on like it was totally normal. Not to mention there are 3 other similar to his and 3 pairs of pink pajamas. In there too. But this. I just pulled it out and put it on. Why am I wearing a pink nighty?"
Tori smiled kissed Jade once again on the check. "Well…..duh. It's pretty."
Jade turned and briefly glared at Tori. "But why is it on me."
"That one's your favorite. Though when it's cold you prefer the pj's with the hearts on them."
"Why? Tori?"
"Why what?" asked Tori innocently.
Jade turned again and stared at Tori, not bothering to say a word. After about 15 seconds, Tori's eyes' widened. "Oh. You want to know why. Let me explain."
Jade narrowed her eyes, "Please do."
"I was dressing you, bathing you and caring for you and in the first couple of days, you weren't capable of much of anything. I loved doing it, but I'll admit your choice of normal sleeping clothes, regular shorts and a t-shirt was kind of boring. Not to mention too boyish. I wanted to sleep with a pretty girl wearing pretty pink jammies. So I got board and decided to buy you some nice jammies and a couple of nighties. You didn't object and seemed to like it."
"Of course I didn't object, I was catatonic." Jade growled.
"Your mom loved the idea. She even bought a couple of dresses and we tried them on you, you looked so cute. Especially the sun dress with the big floppy hat. A little Jade West Fashion show."
Jade couldn't help but cringe. "You do realize of course, my mother is completely psychotic. And once took a blowtorch to the privates of a Latin American dictator simply for not answering his fan mail. Before I only thought she was weird. Now I know the truth, which explains a lot of things from my childhood, but please, do continue."
"I loved the looks of the jammies on you, I kept putting them on you. You actually seemed to like them. I put your normal sleeping clothes on you and you kind of threw a fit, so I kept putting them on you. I even bought a couple of nighties for you. You really seemed to love them. You wear them all the time. Every night, you happily pick one out, put it on and crawl into bed with me. It's incredibly sexy. Any questions?"
"So I'm half out of my mind and you buy some jammies for me and I just start to like and wear them."
"Yep"
"And you find me incredibly sexy, even more than before?"
"Very much."
"Is anyone ever going to hear about this or see me in this?" Jade said, letting a hint of menace creep into her voice.
"Nope, cross my heart and hope to die."
A quick enthusiastic nod was Jade's reply. "And me wearing this will make you happy?"
"Yes"
"BUT IT'S PINK TORI!"
"So you an make me eat feet meat, pour coffee on me, make it look like i bashed your face and I can't play dress up with you, while you're insane. No fair."
"I beat my cousin Wednesday, I stopped Ponnie, I evaded their deathtraps. I'm supposed to be unbeatable." Jade whined.
Tori's face began to fall. "You can wear your normal stuff, if you want."
Jade turned and walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of shorts and an old t-shirt. She then paused, then felt smooth silk against her skin. She looked to the mirror and admired her own form. She then turned to look to Tori, who was looking at her with a wonder in her eyes.
Jade put the shorts back in the dresser and slammed it shut. "God has ever been a weird couple of weeks."
She then turned to Tori. "OK, you've programmed me to love silky nighty's and you know what it does feel wonderful, and I do feel feminine, I do feel sexy"
After pausing as if she was trying to think of something to say, Jade sighed and admitted defeat. "I love it. Happy now!"
Then without warning, Jade simply burst into tears and cried. "I'm the love child of a boy band….."
Tori removed her robe, to reveal she was wearing the same nighty, only in purple. She then guided Jade to bed. "Some on baby, lets go to bed. My unbeatable, beautiful girl needs her sleep."
"Do I really look pretty in this?" Jade sobbed.
"Yes my love." Tori said as she crawled into bed and pulled Jade into her arms. Feeling comfort in Tori's arms, Jade quickly whimpered and fell asleep.
In the time Tori stayed at Jade's she also took time to get to know Jade's parents who liked her very much. Tori even considered taking up Mrs. West offer of teaching her how to make untraceable poisons.
It took a full month after the breakdown, before Jade recovered fully, managing to come at least to terms with her heritage. Dr. Bamwell, attributed her quick recovery to the sheer love and devotion that Tori had shown her. The only long-lasting effect of her breakdown was an uncontrollable facial tick Jade got whenever music from The tough Guys on the street was played. Tori and the rest of Jade's family refrained from mentioning the group at all possible from then on. Jade's mom suggested she could try to get the group's money, but Jade refused, as she would have to admit her deepest shame in public.
After her recovery, Jade was just a bit wiser and just a bit less cocky. She had more than learned her lesson and never again described herself as unbeatable. Whenever Jade's ego did get a bit too big, Tori only need to play a The tough guys on the street record and that would shrink it right down to size.
Jade a year later learned, Wednesday and Ponnie were getting married in a beautiful prison ceremony. This time Jade didn't spoil it. Only because the person she hired to poison the cake, backed out at the last minute. Wednesday was so grateful, that all went well, that she agreed to an uneasy truce with her cousin.
She knew their truce wouldn't last, but that hardly mattered.
Her and Tori would last and that was all that mattered.
THE END!
I hoped you enjoyed this story. Please review.
Thanks again to Invader Johnny for help.
