MAX SAID THAT

Jade POV

It's 10 pm and Tori and I are trying to make Emerald sleep. We've been trying for half an hour and nothing. I'm really starting to feel sick. WHY isn't she sleeping? All of us are in her room. She's under the blankets and we're sitting on her little bed.

"Come on Emmie! It's really late, close your eyes."

"Nooo", she whines. She whines! What's her problem? If she's running around all day at school then why isn't she tired? Why me?

"What if we sing another song?" Tori tries. Augh, another one? This could be the seventh, but hey, if it can make her sleep…

"Noooo!"

"Why not?" see Tor? I knew it: seven songs are too many.

"Jade, Max said that I'm an orphan."

Ok, I didn't see this coming. Who the hell is this Max and why is he messing with my baby sister? I turn to Tori for support, but it seems that she is more shocked than me. We've never talked about our condition in these terms, I mean, Emerald knows that our parents are dead, but I don't think she knows what orphan means.

"Is it true? What's an orphan?" Here it is.

I feel Tori taking my hand and feeling her support, I start, also because I think this is the reason why we're still in Emmie's room, "Yes, it's true. You know that mom and dad are in the sky, right?" She nods, so I continue "Well, you see, when a kid loses both his mom and dad, people say that they is an orphan."

"You're silly, Jadey" she giggles. "Mom and dad are in the sky. You told me, I know where they are, so I didn't loose'em"

Should awe at her fricking cuteness or if I should be empathic.

"You're right Emmie-boo. Jade here is really silly." Seriously Vega? "I think she meant that an orphan is a child who doesn't have their parents anymore, like yours in the sky, right Jadey?"

I nod. What else am I supposed to do?

"So, it's true, I'm an orphan"

"Yeah."

"You too?"

"Yes"

"And you?" she is looking at Tori now

"No, baby. Do you remember when we go at Mr. and Mrs. V's? they are my parents"

"Oooh, right" ok, got this.

"Max also said that you two are lesbians"

WHAT THE… YOU KNOW WHAT?! This time is Tori the one to answer

"Yep, we are" Wow, fast and painless.

"What does that mean?"

"You see, we love each other very much. Sometimes there are two boys who love each other, sometimes one boy and a girl, and sometimes two girls. When there are two girls, like us, they are called lesbians", said my beautiful girlfriend Tori Vega! Give it up!

"I don't get it"

What?"

"This is good. Max said that like it wasn't, he was making fun of me"

This Max child is dead, his parents are gonna meet my scissors. Why would a 5 year old know these things… and to bully another 5 year old!

"you know, some people are just stupid"

"JADE!"

"Oh, come on, and they can't understand how beautiful it is to love a girl like this one here. You don't have to worry. If this Max bother you again, tell your teacher and then come to me or Tor-Tor and we'll protect you ok?"
"ok. I'm tired now, can I go to sleep?" HALLELUJIAH!

"sure! Good night, we love you"

"sleep well"

"I love you" we both kiss her forehead and make our way out of her room.
