JADE POV
"Is she asleep?" Mum asks as I step into the kitchen, she is pulling leftovers out of the refrigerator.
"Yeah, she was snoring before I even stepped out of the room"
"I'm going to take a guess that she is not in the guest room?" I roll my eyes at her.
"Nope, she's in my bed," I tell her ignoring the sigh.
"Jade…" she starts but I cut her off.
"Mum, we aren't going to be doing anything she's asleep" She shakes her head but raises her hands in surrender. "Should I order some food since our plans for dinner didn't work out?" I ask her already heading to the drawer with the take-out menus.
"Every time I come home I throw all those out and every time you and your father just get more," she says taking them from me and flipping through them. "What about pizza?"
"Yeah sounds good," I tell her as she grabs her phone to order.
The next morning I am awake before Vega and stumble down to the kitchen to get some coffee. I hear her coming down the stairs as I start my second cup of coffee.
"You left me alone," she says as she wraps her arms around me gives me a kiss on the check and steals the last of my coffee.
"Vega gets your own" I snap trying to grab my mug back, she hands it back empty with a grin giving me another kiss.
"Thanks for last night, I might have ended up sleeping on the mats last night"
"You need to make sure you have time to sleep, Tori," I tell her.
"I know, I'm going to. I promise and I'm going to take you on a date this week when you have to time off from your play. I have missed you" she says wrapping her arms around me in a hug.
"Do you have the time?" I ask mentally going through my next week schedule to try and work out when we can go on a date.
"I'll work it out" I open my mouth to protest, not wanting her to add another thing to her to-do list. "I will have all my projects finished and handed in on Monday, then I will take a night off training" she explains.
"Alright Vega, how about we do something Monday night" she grins leaning down to give me a kiss, before turning to get herself more coffee.
"So what did you think?" Vega asks at the end of our date on Monday night, she had taken me out for dinner and then we took a walking ghost tour.
"It was interesting I hadn't heard of most of their stories," I tell her, already mentally planning out script ideas. I feel her squeeze my hand before letting go as we come to a stop in front of her bike. "Are you staying the night?" I ask climbing on behind her.
"I don't think your mother will like that," she says, and I roll my eyes at how scared she was of upsetting my mum.
"Parents are out of town" she looks at me like she is about to disagree.
"Please you know I hate being home alone"
"Fine" she sighs but I can hear the smirk in her voice.
Before I knew it it was the opening night of my play that had taken months to work on especially in the last few weeks, which were a nightmare as I had practically no time to spend with Vega as she was either training or I was stuck at school trying to get these idiots to not make a mess of my play. I was just about to yell at the lead when I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder I turn to scream at them until seeing that it was just Vega standing with a huge grin.
"What are you doing back here?" I asl giving her a quick kiss looking over behind her to see someone struggling to zip up the back of her costume I groan walking over and helping, snaping at them to hurry.
"I just wanted to come to wish you luck before I take my seat," Vega says having followed me over.
"You saying I need luck," I ask.
"Of course not your amazing and so will this mysterious play that you haven't told me anything about," she says with a pout.
"Yeah well that would ruin the surprise," I say looking behind me as someone yells out that we have ten minutes.
"I better go," Vega says giving me one last kiss before running off to find her seat. As I watch her go I feel the nerves creep back up again.
"Get it together West she will like all these mushy emotions," I tell myself before storming off to find another idiot to yell at.
I let out a sigh of relief as I look out to see the audience standing and cheering, my parents and Vega are seated in the front all clapping. I wait for people to start leaving before I work my way over to them brushing of some compliments from teachers and students even if I am glad they liked it.
"Jade that was amazing" Vega yells out when she sees me grabbing me in a hug.
"For once I agree with Victoria. You wrote a wonderful play Jade" Mum says giving me another hug as dad comes over joining in.
"It was great kid," he says pulling back and can see the amusement in his eyes before he even starts taking again. "Although I have no idea where you came up with it frenemies to falling in love"
"Your Dad makes a point," Vega says wrapping an arm around me.
"Yes, okay I wrote a play about Vega are you happy I admitted it" I snap fighting a blush as I wrap my arms around myself. My dad starts to say something but I ignore him as Vega leans in kissing my cheek.
"I really loved the play, Jade," she says I turn to wrap my arms around her looking into her eyes.
"You have to leave don't you"
"Yeah, I'm sorry I wish I had time to take you to a celebratory dinner"
"It's okay, just try and get back in one piece," I tell her seriously as my mind fills with images of her in a hospital bed.
"Don't worry I'm not going to risk watching your play again by being in a hospital bed?" She says giving me a kiss and grabbing a bouquet of flowers that I hadn't noticed before from the chair beside her.
"I also got you a new pair of scissors in case you wanted to cut them up," she said handing me both items out to me.
"Thank you," I tell her giving her another kiss before she leaves. "Call me when you get there"
By the time the next night has rolled around I have wrapped myself into an even worse panic then the last time as my brain comes up with every possible way Vega can get hurt no matter unrealistic. I yell at every possible member of the cast and crew until I get a text half way through from Trina telling me that Shelby Marx is fine and had won her match. I let out a huge sigh of relief as I put my focus back on the play.
It's around two am that I hear my bedroom door open and close, grabbing my scissors as a figure comes closer to the bed I pull my arm back ready to attack when I feel them grab my wrist.
"Sorry it's just me, I didn't mean to scare you" I hear Vegas say even though I still can't see her.
"Vega what the hell. Why are you sneaking into my bedroom? Why aren't you in Seattle?" I whisper-yell not wanting to wake my parents.
"Sorry, I just missed my amazing girlfriend, but, I can go back to Seattle," she says pulling back and moving to get back up.
"Don't you dare?" I say pulling her into bed next to me and wrapping her in my arms. "Are you okay?" I ask not having be reassured from the one text I got from her before I went to bed.
"I'm fine I was about to get on a plane or I would have called you," She says letting out a sigh as she relaxes into me.
"Get some sleep Vega, I can yell at you for worrying me in the morning," I tell her.
"Okay, Love you Jade" I hear her whisper, and can't help the stupid sappy smile that appeared on my face.
"Love you too, Tori"
