Jade:
It has been a week since Vega left the hospital.
As much as I wanted to, I realized I could not just follow her around to keep my eyes on her, especially since we take different classes and need to do different projects with different people.
Thankfully, my mom offered a great solution for this problem, and she sent me one of the latest gadgets from the company which had yet to hit the market, straight from the headquarters. The package is set to arrive anytime today.
Tori was bouncing around the house gleefully, with one of her new legs that allowed her to wear her favorite boots again. Ever since those new prosthetics arrived two days ago, she had been rearranging her wardrobe, all while telling me excitedly about all the dates we can go on.
What a goofball.
After signing for the parcel, I grabbed her by the hand to drag her to the sofa. "Stop being hyperactive like Cat, Vega. Come sit down on the couch, there's something I need to give you."
The happiness just radiated off from the loud smile on her beautiful face. "I can't help it! I just feel so happy!"
Opening the package, I took out a small box with a pear icon. As I took off the lid to reveal a plain silver ring, I watched in amusement as Vega's eyes widened to the size of saucers.
"Jade? I think we're too young to get married?"
"I know you can't wait to become a West, Tori, but this is not an engagement ring," I chuckled, watching her face flush crimson.
"What's this then? And who says I'm taking your name?"
"I say, future Mrs Tori West."
I picked up the Pear-ring, using my fingernails to open a flap on the side of the ring to reveal a small button. "I want you to wear this at all times, Vega. If you're in trouble, open the cover like how I showed you just now and hold this button for three seconds. It'll send a message to my phone and alert me that you need help, among other things. And don't worry, Vega. You're mine. We'll tie the knot someday."
"I know, future Mrs Jade West."
I pushed the ring onto her index finger, then wrapped my arms around her waist and pecked at her cheek as she leaned into my chest.
It soon turned into a full blown make out session on the Vegas' family couch.
