Chapter Three: Homesick

Five minutes had passed and the girls were happily doing their own things somehow they'd managed to be able to co-exist in the same room… well for at least five minutes but it was good enough. Jade was writing a screen play about a meddling; Uni student. It wasn't like her usual work and there wasn't anything darkness in it but she was starting to think it was good. To be honest she was channeling Cat in one of the main characters… except maybe a little bit more mature.

If Jade was being honest with herself she'd admit to kind of missing the red-head, she hadn't been in New-York long but she'd known Cat for years. Cat was doing quite well now though, it kind of seemed she'd replaced Jade as a best-friend with Sam but Jade didn't mind. Cat was living with Sam Puckett from; Icarly and their babysitting business was doing well from what she'd last heard, Cat was doing some part time college classes at Hollywood Arts. The school had decided to offer college level classes as a taster to see if they should continue with them.

"Jade" Tori murmured breaking the comfortable silence they'd had going for… ten minutes. Jade moved her focus to Tori and watched the half-Latina curiously as she contemplated what to say. Tori forced a smile but Jade could tell it was fake as her eyes weren't lighting up. Jade took in Tori's now serious face and before either of them knew it Tori was crying.

"Tori… what's wrong?" Jade wandered, her voice giving away the fact that she actually cared. She got up and walked over to where Tori, was seated on her single bed. Jade put her arm around Tori's shoulder in an attempt to make, Tori feel better. Her mind was racing with thoughts reminding her that she's not supposed to care about, Tori. She's not supposed to like Tori but that didn't change the fact that she did care and she did like Tori.

"It just occurred to me how much I miss everyone… I miss Andre and his music and the way he freaks out about almost everything, I miss Cat being… well just 'Cat' and I miss Robbie and his stupid puppet… Beck and all those girls that follow him… when he's not dating you… I even miss, Trina's off-key singing" Tori cried, burring her head into Jade's neck. Jade despite her mind telling her not to pulled Tori in closer, in a hug and rubbed circles on Tori's back in a comforting way.

"its okay, Vega" Jade said, softly. Tori pulled back slightly, her eyes slightly puffy as she looked into Jade's beautiful blue eyes.

"I'm glad I at least have you! You know, this might sound crazy but I'd hate it if you weren't in my life, West!" She admitted, pulling Jade closer again and allowing her tears to wash over Jade. This fact would have normally annoyed, Jade but she didn't mind so much today… she kind of understood.

"Even though, I've been a gank to you from the first moment we met?" Jade quizzed her with a slight chuckle in her tone, Tori laughed too and pulled back again allowing Jade to wipe away her tears.

"You're more than that Jade. You don't show it that often but I've seen it… so I know it's there" Tori explained, Jade smiled and wiped away more of the half-Latina's tears.

"It's a good job they won't let us switch rooms then, especially if you're going to break down every five minutes!" Jade joked, gaining herself a glare from the brunette before a soft teddy-bear was thrown at her.

"Seriously, with the stuffed animals, Vega!" Jade complained, as she threw the teddy back at Tori. Tori shrugged.

"Trina told not to show them to anyone" Tori admitted, as she hugged Sargent Cuddles tightly to her chest.

"For once that sister of yours actually speaks some sense" Jade said in disbelief.

"How did you not know?" Jade suddenly asked, changing the subject.

"How didn't I know what?" Tori asked looking up at the goth in confusion.

"That Beck and I split up!" Jade said, as if her unknowing-ness was some sort of crime or something.

"Well maybe the fact that nobody told me had some part in it, not even Beck!" Tori stated, sarcastically as she stood up.

"We put it on the slap!" Jade defended herself and Beck.

"Well, I haven't been on the slap for a while!" Tori stated, annoyed. Since when did people think she followed everything Beck and Jade wrote on the slap like an obsessive stalker... Ew, like sinjin!

Okay, maybe she did used to check Jade's page on the slap but that was back in her young and naive days... okay maybe she was still young and naive but she had more important things on her mind lately. Like starting college and all that Jazz!

"Earth to Vega!" Jade yelled, waving her hand in front of Tori's dazed face.

"Huh?" Tori murmured, still slightly in that dazed state.

"You went off to fairy land!" Jade told her. Tori nodded and thought about how if Cat were here she'd probably think that Jade meant she'd actually gone to fairy land.

"Oh... Sorry, I was just thinking" Tori sighed, collapsing back onto her bed.

"Well, I knew that!" Jade pointed out, rolling her eyes.

"Oh it's late" Tori realized as she looked at her clock, that stated it was 9:30 pm. Jade rolled her eyes.

"No that's early... besides there's a party going on tonight, we should go and check it out!" Jade said, Tori shook her head.

"Nah, I should get some rest" Tori stated.

"Come on Tori. What are you waiting for? Classes aren't starting for another few days and you don't have to be anywhere tomorrow morning! Besides don't you want to make some new friends?" Jade tried, to reason. Tori sighed and found herself opening her mouth to agree.

"Fine!" Tori agreed, Jade smirked and began to get ready for the party.


A/N: In the next chapter I'm going to attempt to write a full on party scene, I don't think I've done anything like that before and if I have it wasn't very good... Anyway, please review and thanks for reading! :)
