AN: Sorry it's taken me so long to update but a lot has happened recently... Me and my roommate/friend were walking home from the grocery store when a speeding car hit my roommate and barely missed me. We were in the cross walk almost to the curb when it hit him, if it hadn't of swerved it would have hit me too. He's okay and alive but they had to reconstruct his knee in surgery and replace his tibia (kind of like your shin bone) with a metal rod. I've been busy visiting him and just being in shock. So here's chapter 8!

Tori:

Today's Monday and Jade and I have decided to tell our friends about us. Of course Cat knows but the rest need to too. Speaking of Cat I felt bad, I just hope she'd be okay seeing me and Jade together and I hope Jade isn't to hard on her when they talk. It's lunch time now and I sit down at our regular table, Robbie's busy arguing with Rex, Beck and Andre are discussing some project they're doing together, and Cat is sitting there silently not even eating her food. As I sit down Cat looks up at me and I give her a smile which she responds to with a small sad smile. Her eyes become big and she lets out a small squeak and quickly averts her eyes back to her food. I wonder what happened when I notice Jade sit down next to me.

"Hey Tori," says Jade addressing me first before looking around the rest of the table and addresses the rest of our friends, "Andre, Beck, Robbie, Cat..." She says the last name with a bit of spite in her voice. I let out a sigh, I hope she doesn't torture Cat to much Cat doesn't deserve it. She didn't know about us and when she found out she backed off and even left insisting I have Jade come over and tell her everything ASAP. No one even batted an eyelash now at her calling me Tori or even being nice to me. It had become a regular thing now I guess they just assumed we bonded when she stayed the weekend.

I cleared my throat, "Everyone I have something I'd like to tell you." All our friends looked up at me waiting for my response, all except Cat that is. She was looking down at her food with an unreadable expression on her face.

"Well," I continued grabbing Jade's hand in plain view of everyone, "me and Jade here are, uhmm, well, dating." I finally said. Everyone except Cat looked at us with a confused expression on their faces. Cat was just sitting there silently refusing to look at us. After several seconds of awkward silence Jade cleared her throat.

"Well I was hoping we'd get a better coming out reception than that but if that's honestly the best you guys can do," she was standing up still holding on to my hand I I could feel her pulling me when Andre quickly said:

"Wait, sorry we're just in shock! I think it's awesome you two decided to date." Robbie nodded his head in agreement, Rex made some comment about how it'd be hot if we kissed for him, Beck just continued to stair at us his face still looking confused, and Cat was still looking down at her food expression as unreadable as ever.

"So, Jade, uhmm I'm happy for you two?" Said Beck though it came out more of a question than a statement. I gave him a smile and looked over to see Jade smiling softly. He may not be completely okay with it but at least he was accepting us. That just left cat now. Andre was looking over at her.

"Lil' red is there anything you want to say?"

"I LOVE TORI!" She blurted out before her eyes became huge, she jumped up and leaving her lunch at the table ran away. Jade and I sighed at the same time and I looked over at Jade. It was time for them to talk.

"I'll go talk to her," said Jade sounding concerned

"Don't be to hard on her," I say softly hoping Jade would make the situation better not worse.

Jade:

I spent the rest of lunch looking for Cat. I couldn't find her anywhere then it hit me! Of course she'd be in the janitor's closet. That's were basically anyone of us went when we needed to be alone or hide for that matter. Which was kind of stupid considering the fact we all knew that's were we went when we wanted to hide so we knew to look there. I opened the door to the closet and stepped in. I heard sobbing noises and looked around to see Cat huddled in a corner. I closed the door and walked over to her sitting down next to her. I let out a sigh.

"Cat, I know you probably think I'm made at you but I swear I'm not. I was when I first found out that night when Tori told me, but I got over it quickly. You didn't know about us." Cat wasn't sobbing anymore but she refused to look at me.

"It's okay for you to be in love with Tori you can't help it and trust me I understand why you are, Tori is amazing," Okay Jade you're not helping here... "But you have to move on. Tori and me are together and we plan on staying that way. I know this may sound harsh but it's just the truth. Living in your feelings for her aren't going to help them go away which is just going to hurt you more."

"Do you think Tori hates me now," asked Cat in a small voice. I shook my head.

"I know for a fact she doesn't. Tori loves you as a friend, as much as anyone can love a friend. She'd do anything to make sure you stayed happy. Well anything but date you of course." Cat nodded smiling up at me.

"Thank you Jade, can you leave me alone now though? I just need to be alone for a bit." I give her a nod of my head and get up to leave.

Tori:

I was home now it's 5 PM and I'm waiting for Jade to come over. I hadn't seen Cat for the rest of the day and Jade told me she'd tell me what happened after school. Lately she's been driving me home but today she said I was stuck with Trina because she had something she had to do before she came over. Suddenly my phone went off I reached over and grabbed it to see who had texted me.

Will be there in five minutes, Love -Jade

I smiled at the phone sending a quick reply and running down the stairs to meet her at the door. I opened the door right as she pulled into my drive way. To my surprise she came out of the car holding a bouquet of white roses! Those were my favorite flower. She came up to the door and placed a quick kiss on my lips before entering the house.

"If you haven't guessed already these are for you," she said handing me the flowers. I smiled up at her.

"So this is what you had to do after school? Buy my flowers? And it took this long?" She laughed at my series of questions then before I could comment on that she silenced me with a kiss.

"Well there is more..."

AN: Extremely short chapter I know! And I'm terribly sorry but after what happened I wasn't even planning to update today but decided you guys deserved an update. My updates may be a bit slower than usual for a while I'll be visiting my roommate in the hospital a lot and when he gets home I'll be helping him out. I promise my chapters will be back to normal length just slower.
