Do not own Victorious ):

Tori jumped up startled by the loud knocking coming from her bedroom door. She groaned and walked to open it. "Jesus, Cat! Are you trying to give me heart attack?" She ran her fingers through her auburn locks, allowing her gaze to focus on the smaller girl.

Cat stood there holding two peanut butter sandwiches. "Let's watch a movie," she smiled.

Tori rubbed her eyes, "What happened to letting me sleep?" She focused on the girl and noticed she was dressed in her sleeping wear. Wasn't she expecting someone? Tori's mind tried to remember what exactly had been the last occasion the two girl's had where they sat back at home simply enjoying a movie night. She eyed the girl in curiosity. Right, she was expecting her girlfriend. That could only mean…

Cat gave a shrug. As if reading the brunette's mind she said, "She has to work late tonight." She paused. "So I thought we could catch up on all the heartbreaks you gave in Europe." She wiggled her brows in amusement.

Tori rolled her eyes at the mischievous smirk Cat had. "Well since you're on a clear mission to deprive me from sleep," Tori said as she took one of the plates. A smile grew along her lips as they fell into a comfortable conversation. The two girls had settled on the living room couch as they shared stories of their summer. In the background the only sound was of the almost nonexistent Nicholas Sparks movie playing behind them on the living room television. She'd loved the adventures she'd had in Europe, but it was the small peaceful moments with her best friend that she had really missed.

During the long hours of talking Tori had somehow fallen asleep on the couch. She awoke to the sound of the front door being knocked on. She looked around in a disoriented state in search of the red head. "Cat?" she mumbled, her eyes closed as she stretched out on the couch. She vaguely heard a snore coming from the smaller girl's bedroom. Dragging herself off the furniture, Tori rubbed her eyes as the knocking continued. "I'm coming. I'm coming," she waved. She glanced at the time on the microwave. It was eight-thirty in the morning.

She felt her cheeks heat up as she recalled the dream she had been having moments before. They had involved a certain bookshop with a certain raven haired girl and this time there had been no one around to interrupt their moment as the pale girl leaned toward her. No one had been around, but the knock on the door could have surely been a person as it only served to break the moment and caused her to leave what she really wished had happened.

Tori wasn't the friendliest person when it came to interrupting her slumber. "This better be good," she warned as the door swung open. She felt the breath suddenly fly out of her. She wasn't sure if she was hallucinating or if she was still asleep. She blinked a couple of times unable to remember how to speak as a small smile formed as the familiar green eyes stared back at her in bewilderment.

"J-Jade?" Tori finally managed quietly, her voice so small she wasn't sure if she'd actually spoken. The world seemed to stand still in that moment. Was she still dreaming? She had to be. The girl she had been about to kiss moments ago was now standing before her. A look of confusion crossed the pale girl's features. Tori furrowed her brows in a mutual thought. There was something disturbingly wrong with this picture.

Before the dark haired girl could part her lips to speak the room filled with a loud ebullient cry. "Jade!" Cat leaped toward the taller girl nearly knocking over the brunette in the process.

The smile soon faded from the tan skinned girl's lips when the realty of the situation dawned on her. She dropped her gaze and stepped back, her feet suddenly felt like boulders. The red head wrapped her arms around the pale girl and leaned up on her tiptoes to kiss her. Tori clenched her jaw. She turned around and began to walk to her room, hoping Cat wouldn't notice.

"Tori, this is Jade!" Cat said with a huge grin.

Tori turned around, hoping deep down that it wasn't true. Please don't say it, she thought.

"My girlfriend," Cat announced with a bounce.

Tori forced a smile. "Hey," she cursed herself. Why was she upset? She didn't even know the woman.

Jade nodded. There was an apologetic look in the emerald eyes as she gave a friendly smile. "So you're the best friend." She offered a hand.

Reluctantly Tori took it and nodded. "That's me. The best friend. Cat's best friend." She looked at the small girl again forcing a smile. Deep down she was glad she had actually taken all those acting classes in high school, they were sure being useful now. "Well it was nice meeting you. I'll leave you two alone now," she said waving and dismissing herself as she nearly ran to her room. She quickly shut the door behind her and locked it leaving the two girls in dazed state.

Once she was alone in her room she allowed herself to breathe. Her chest felt heavy. She slid against the door and buried her head in her hands. "Okay, Tori just relax," she mumbled to herself. "It'll be okay. She's Cat's girlfriend. What could go wrong?" Images of what happened the prior day replayed in her mind. She shook her head almost violently. No! She's Cat's...

"I missed you," Jade's voice traveled underneath the door from the living room. Tori had almost forgotten the sound of her voice. It sounded so musical, heavenly even. As the red head's giggle filled the air Tori shook her head. "She's Cat's girlfriend," she whispered to herself. Her eyes travelled to the closed drawer where the book lay.

She couldn't possibly have feelings for a stranger. She didn't know her. She didn't know Jade. She didn't know that she had a breathtaking smile and an almost musical sounding laugh or that she could recite Shakespeare. She definitely did not know that she thought the brunette had a lovely smile, in the pale girl's own words. Tori sighed and closed her eyes. If this was some sort of coincidence, then maybe Tori was beginning to dislike the thought of things 'happening for a reason'. From the other side of the door she could hear the two girls giggling and chatting. She definitely disliked it.
