Finally, being at a level ground in her relationship, Jade loved being in her relationship with Tori. They were both on amazing terms with each other, no anger or upset was present. They had a lovely conversation before going to bed last night and Jade woke up to an affectionate message from Tori before rushing to school.
After arriving to school, the girlfriends hadn't seen each other, but they were both in relatively good moods.
"Hey, there's no scowl on that face." Beck said in a teasing tone while walking up to Jade. "Everything going good?"
Rolling her eyes before responding, "Yes, it's better." She didn't realize that she was wearing a small smile until she noticed Beck still had a grin. Dropping the smile and putting on her scowl. "Come on, let's gather the crew."
The best friends walked along the halls and, to Jade's benefit, found Tori first. Strangely, her girlfriend was talking to a boy she had never met. It was making her jealousy rise.
The two continued to talk seemingly finishing their conversation. Jade made her presence known, "So, who's that?" The question made her girlfriend jump causing more nerves to build.
Jade didn't listen to her girlfriend introduce him, but she stared at the boy. "Why you talking to Tori?" Jade tried to keep the jealousy out of her tone, but she noticed her girlfriend quickly jumping in to explain they went to the same school.
Then the explanation of the two being exes came, and Jade was not happy to hear that Tori is talking to an ex. "So, why did you dump her?" The look on the other girl's face seemed confused as to why she would ask that.
"Jade." Her best friend called out to stop her.
"I have a lot of guesses." She didn't, but she did want to bring up that the two were separated for a reason. It would be a reminder for Tori that she's with her. She wasn't prepared to hear that Tori broke up with him. That lit a wave of nerves over her, but she wasn't going to let it hurt her. Turning back to her mean public persona, Jade acted like that was the best thing in Danny's life.
Beck turned the conversation away from the breakup saving Jade until they were interrupted by Cat running in and kissing her boyfriend which relieved Jade in a way making the smile on her face genuine.
Until the topic got pushed back to Tori and him dating again relighting the flame of jealousy in her. Beck tried to pull her away to what Jade assumed was his way to keep her from sabotaging her relationship. The exes both agreed that they could be friends making Cat happy, but Jade was far from thrilled about seeing her girlfriend's ex-boyfriend.
Waiting to leave the conversation, she walked away announcing she was bored but she didn't want to release a wave of feelings.
Beck followed closely behind and heard Tori attempting to ask questions to the "couples" but giving up when she saw Cat and Danny making out and them walking away.
"You didn't have to get jealous. Tori is into you." Beck said trying to comfort Jade's jealousy.
Jade rolled her eyes. "It's not just that. I play my part and no one finds out."
"If you're so scared about what I think you are, then say it. It's not like our friends will say anything."
Jade gave him a look. "Cat can't keep a secret for five minutes."
"Carry on with your scowling then."
That night found Jade and Tori sitting in her car watching a movie on a pink phone as they ate dinner together. They settled on some action movie for the night. There wasn't any room to cuddle but they made do with a few shared kisses between bites.
"You know that you don't have to be jealous, right?" Tori said breaking the silence between the two. "I mean, he is Cat's boyfriend."
"I don't like thinking about you leaving me. That's what really scared me." Jade said trying to avoid looking at her girlfriend.
"Jade." Tori put her hand on her face to get her to look at her. "Good luck trying to get rid of me." She kissed her. "You're stuck with me."

The next day at lunch, Jade had the displeasure of seeing Danny park and walk towards them. Her girlfriend may have calmed a few fears last night but Jade still didn't like the mental image she got of him sucking her girlfriend's face in the past.
It unsettled Jade's stomach when she saw Tori's jealous expression when Cat and Danny kissed, and how her girlfriend harshly reacted to her teasing, and how she was instantly grumpy for the rest of the lunch.
When Tori brought up the brownies that Danny supposedly doesn't eat. She couldn't blame the boy. The Vega sisters were not gifted with any kitchen skills. Her girlfriend could barely make a bowl of cereal.

At the kickback, Jade barely saw her girlfriend. She spent most of the night with Beck as expected. She was over her jealousy of Tori and Danny, but she was noticing her girlfriend's jealousy of Cat and Danny. It made her unsettled, but she wanted her girlfriend to admit it so they could move on.
Finding her staring at the new couple, Jade stood next to her. "Daniel ever spin you like that?"
"Want to get slapped with a sausage?"
It wasn't the response she wanted, but it was still nice to talk to her. "No, but I'd like to spin you like that." Jade walked away to go find Beck again knowing she wasn't going to get the answers she wanted.
Beck calling her over to feel Andre's foot was a weird request but a good distraction.
Finding out that Tori had pulled that stunt with Cat and Danny, she had to admit that it caused some fears. Her girlfriend was feeling a lot of things and didn't want to talk to her about them. Jade and Beck were the ones that were able to catch her running into the blackbox theater.
They called out to her girlfriend, but Beck started talking about the setup in the room about the cannibal camping trip that interested Jade. She dismissed it when she was growing concerned for her girlfriend.
Seeing the slight movement in the tent, Jade threw something the broom soft enough to not hurt her girlfriend and greeted her with a warm smile when she unzipped the tent. "Room for two in there?"
"Leave me alone."
Beck cut to the chase. "What up with the hot cheese?"
"And her boyfriend, Daniel."
Her girlfriend stood up and went into a rant about how she wasn't the jealous type made Jade's fears come back full force. Her girlfriend wasn't the jealous type. She watched Jade kiss Beck nearly every day then sweetly text her after and pull her in for a kiss afterschool with no hints of jealous.
Watching her girlfriend walk away, Jade looked to her best friend. "She's going to be ok, right?"
"I think so. You want to chase after her?"
"I'll probably make it worse. I'm not a big fan of the guy." Jade said earning a nod in agreement. "Want to feel Andre's foot some more?"

"You did what?" Jade angrily asked her girlfriend.
"I kissed Danny." Tori repeated ashamed of herself. "I didn't mean to, I was trying to talk my feelings out and he leaned in. You have every right to be mad, but you deserve the truth."
"Why?" Jade asked keeping herself from crying.
"I guess I'm jealous. You get to kiss Beck. Cat gets to kiss Danny. I just wanted to have something." The two were quiet. "Jade, I know I have no right to ask you this, but please don't break up with me. I was a stupid kiss that shouldn't have happened and I'm sorry."
"Do I throw myself at Beck a lot in front of you?" Jade sat down on a bench.
"Sometimes," Tori sat down next to her, "but I get that it's all an act."
"How about we make a deal. You don't go off kissing anyone else and I stop throwing myself at Beck in front of you?" Jade offered. "And we don't bottle our feelings like this again."
"You're the only one I want to kiss."
The next day, Jade may have forgiven her girlfriend, but there was still some lingering pain. She told Tori about it honoring that she wouldn't hide her feelings. She was with Andre, Trina, and Robbie as they were trying to get her and Beck to dip their feet. It was insane on how her week was going.
Her girlfriend came downstairs announcing that she was trying to make amends with Cat too, but she was obviously still very upset with Tori.
Hearing the list, she did bite back with her own comment, "Those things upset some girls." She was going to give her grief today, but she wasn't going to give in to her anger. Her girlfriend already knew she was in the wrong and admitted it without having to be forced into it. She offered her support with making amends after their conversation last night.

Becoming violently ill, Jade wasn't happy. The unnecessary touching of doctors and the upset feeling. It was horrible being surrounded by her ill friends too. Seeing her girlfriend in the hospital too didn't help, but she did like hearing that Cat punched her.
It was a little payback that Tori felt she deserved. Cat didn't do worse damage and it looked like a pretty nice shot. It made Tori look a little badass.
Her girlfriend did stay with her as often as she could while she was sick posing as just her friend when she was home. It did prove that Jade had no one to worry about stealing her girlfriend if she was willing to be around her coughing until she vomited.
