A/N: Hey there! Thank you for all the reviews and alerts! You're all amazing!

It's been a little longer than expected. Sorry about that, I couldn't concentrate after the breaking news of the show.

Here it is the final part of this lovely story. At least I hope it's the final part. Is it?

It's pretty long and I just couldn't bring myself to split it. :1

Hope you enjoy!

Breathe Again

Jade and Tori had been dating for almost two weeks now. Tori had grown to accept their relationship. Sometimes she'd feel doubtful about the entire situation and would find herself believing maybe it was just some kind of prank Jade was trying to pull off. In those moments Jade could see the insecurity in the girl's eyes and she'd simply give the girl an assuring smile and she'd repeat the three words that gave a fluttering sensation to the brunette's heart. Jade had the entire event for their date planned. As much as she would have loved to have taken Tori about the first week they were dating, she felt it was necessary for at least a week to pass so not to overwhelm either girls.

She would have loved to have the date Friday night, but she wanted to dedicate the entire day to Tori. She decided to set the date for Saturday.

They were in the young Vega's room alone doing homework. Jade had long finished and had grown bored waiting for the other girl to finish. "What are you doing?" She asked resting her chin on the brunette's shoulder. She'd been watching the young girl for almost an hour now.

Tori smiled and peered over her shoulder. "I'm just going over my English notes." The pale girl's pout caused her to giggle.

Jade wrinkled her nose. "You've been doing that for the last hour. I thought you were doing homework."

"Finished that in study hall," Tori shrugged.

"You actually do homework in study hall?" Jade raised a brow questionably.

"Force of habit," Tori mumbled dropping her gaze.

Jade knew what she was referring to. They had discussed everything that had happened over the last month, from the smallest moments to the smallest details and unexplained behaviors.
She fought back the apology that stuck to the end of her tongue. They'd agreed to stop apologizing to each other for their past behaviors. They'd never make it anywhere if they were always apologizing.

"Alright, that's it. No more homework," Jade said shaking off the thoughts and standing up right. She spun Tori around in the chair and took her hand helping her to stand. "Dance with me?" she smiled.

Tori giggled, dropping her hands down to her side freely. "There isn't any music, Jade."

Jade smirked. "Take my hand," she began to sing, "I'll teach you dance. I'll spin you around, won't let you fall down."

Tori smiled widely. Jade was singing to her. "Are you seriously singing right now?"

Jade nodded and continued, "Would you let me lead? You can step on my feet. Give a try. It'll be alright," she offered her hand.

Tori grinned taking the girl's hand more than willing.

Jade wrapped one hand around the smaller girl's waist and pressed them close. She took their free hands and intertwined, gently resting them together against her chest as she began to sway them.

"The room's hush hush and now's our moment. Take it in, feel it all and hold it. Eyes on you, eyes on me. We're doing this right," she sang softly looking into the brown eyes. She led them to the middle of the room and lightly spun them. "'Cause lovers dance when they're feeling in love. Spotlight's shining it's all about us." Jade smiled widely down at the girl. "Every heart in the room will melt. This is a feeling I've never felt, But it's all about us." She took the moment to quickly kiss the brunette before continuing. She was taken by surprise as Tori beat her to the next verse.

"Suddenly, I'm feeling brave. I don't know what's got into me, why I feel this way. Can we dance, real slow? Can I hold you, can I hold you close?" Tears were in the brown eyes as they rocked back and forth.

"Do you hear that love? They're playing our song," Jade sang.

"Do you think we're ready? Oh, I'm really feeling it," Tori sang back.

"Do you hear that love? Do you hear that love?" Jade smiled and replied. She brushed away the small tears the sliped down the tanned skin with her thumb.

"They're playing our song. It's all about us," Jade whispered before kissing her.

Tori looked up at the girl as the swift swaying in the comfortable silence slowly ended. "I never pictured you as the romantic type," she softly spoke.

Jade shook her head with a smirk. "I'm not romantic, just in love." Jade wasn't fanciful, at least not according to herself. They were only small gestures that occurred to her in the heat of the moment. She just couldn't help herself when she was with Tori. She felt her cheeks fire up when she realized what she'd said. She was in love with Tori. A small smile grew across her lips. She was in love with Tori.

"I can't believe Trina's actually afraid of you," Tori giggled against her chest.

Jade laughed recalling the older Vega's behavior when she found out the two girls were together. "I think I have to take the credit there. I wasn't exactly kind when I pounced on her the day you…" Jade trailed off. The topic of Tori's near departure had been spoken of a couple of times, but each time it only served to dishearten the girls.

Tori looked up at the green eyed girl when she fell silent. The near loss had really affected the pale girl. Tori felt a pang of guilt hit her when she noticed the girl was clenching her jaw. "Jade," Tori whispered. "I'm so-"

"Don't," Jade whispered. She looked into the concerned brown eyes. "Don't apologize, Tori. It's in the past. I just... It's still hard knowing I was the primary reason for your desire to leave. It hurts to remember how you looked that night." She wasn't crying, but Tori could hear all the emotion in the Goth's voice. There was something in the blue-green eyes Tori couldn't quite read. Before she had the opportunity to further examine it, it was gone and replaced with an adoring gaze.

"Let's go eat. We've been cooped up in this place long enough doing homework," Jade smirked gesturing to the room and taking Tori's hand.

Tori smiled following behind. She was hungry. The look in Jade's eyes concerned her. It wasn't fear or anger. What was it? Her thoughts were dismissed as she waved goodbye to her parents and ran to the Goth's truck. Jade was hiding something, but what?

Tori put away her books and shut her locker. She was trying to kill sometime as she waited for the Goth. Jade had sent her a text during study hall letting her know she'd be a little late for lunch. She had to speak with one of her teachers about an upcoming assignment.

"Hey Tori," a voice greeted the young Vega.

Tori turned around to find the tall Canadian standing behind her with a small smile. "Hey Beck," she replied returning a smile.

"Aren't you going to lunch?" He asked raising a brow and adjusting his backpack over his shoulder.

Tori closed her locker and faced Beck. He'd been acting a little distant the last couple of days. He didn't speak too often when Jade was around and he always seemed to be observing the new couple. Tori tried to brush off the boy's odd behavior. They hadn't spoken too much. Tori had meant to ask him what was bothering him, but there never seemed to be time. Now that the opportunity was given, she was willing to take full advantage of it.

"No, I'm waiting for Jade. She's just talking with her screenwriting teacher," she replied.

Beck shifted his weight from his right leg to his left and looked down. His hand gripped the strap over his shoulder as he timidly looked back up at the singer.

"Why are you with Jade?" he asked in a small stoic voice.

Tori stepped back. She blinked unsure if she had heard correctly. Beck was seriously questioning her relationship with Jade? She furrowed her brows in anger and prepared to give an earful.

"I mean I don't get it. Jade's never been nice to you, Tori. You can't honestly believe she loves you." He said his voice raising and sounding hard.

Tori felt anger rise in her. It felt almost unrecognizable. It had been over a month since she had allowed herself to truly feel any emotions. She'd been feeling more than ecstatic being with Jade the last couple of days. There weren't words enough to explain how she felt with the Goth, but at that moment all she could see was red. She felt her body shaking from all the growing anger from the Canadian's accusations.

"Why can't you just accept it, Beck? You and Jade were once an item. You may have known her then, but she's not the same person. Believe it or not, she loves me. Why would she lie about that?" she growled. She couldn't believe this was really happening.

Beck sighed. "Tori all I'm saying is that maybe you should be careful. It's Jade we're talking about here. She's always changing her mind. Will you really be able to handle it if she changes her mind with you?" His brown eyes appeared to show concern, but Tori refused to acknowledge it.

Her tight fist clenched and unclenched. Why couldn't he just let them be? She was happy. Jade was happy. Why now?! "Is this what it's really about? You've been acting like a recluse all week and then you jump on me with this?" Tori shook her head in disbelief. "You're supposed to be my friend, Beck! Why can't you be happy for us? Why can't you just let us be?" She fought back the burning sensation in her throat. She wouldn't cry. She didn't want to cry, not in front of him.

"Tori, I don't mean to upset you, I just…"

"Just what, Beck? You suddenly care about how I'm feeling? You're suddenly concerned? You weren't concerned a month ago when I was quiet. You didn't care that I wasn't my happy old self. And you certainly didn't care about my feelings, because if you had, you'd have known that two weeks ago I was about ready to leave this place. I was ready to skip town so that I could move on and leave all my feelings for Jade behind." She spoke harshly.

Beck's mouth opened and closed. Something in his eyes shifted as stared at the girl for a moment before speaking again. "Tori, I'm sorry, I really am, but that's beside the point right now. I just don't want you to get hurt. Jade West is and always will be a-" Before Beck could finish his statement Tori's fist collided with his jaw, knocking him back against the lockers.

"Jade West is my girlfriend and I love her! If I ever hear you talk about her like that again my fist won't be the only thing telling you otherwise!" With that said Tori turned around to leave. She quickly glanced at the baffled looking Goth who stood a few steps away, before running out of the hallway and out to the quad.

Jade watched the teary girl run passed her then turned to look at the injured boy who stood staring at the ground where moments before the young Vega had stood. Whatever they had discussed had certainly upset Tori enough to induce violence from her. Jade growled furiously knowing Beck was the cause of her girlfriend's affliction. She stormed up to him and fought back every muscle in her body that wanted to grab him and shake him hard. "What the hell did you do?"

Beck focused on her. His eyes switching from shock to anger as he cupped his aching jaw. He had to admit Tori had quite the hook. "What did I do? Jade what kind of sick game are you playing here?" he spat. "Are you just messing with Tori? Did you not see how torn she was just a couple of weeks ago? Be fair to her and…"

Jade could have eaten him alive. He was accusing her of using Tori. She groaned in anger and interjected, "Are you kidding me right now? Fair?! Be fairto her?! For crying out loud, Beck! Get your head out of your pants and listen carefully because I am only saying this ONCE! This has nothing to do with you! It wasn't, isn't, and never will! I never used you! I loved you and now that's in the past! I love Tori, okay? I have no vile plot up my sleeve and no intention of ever hurting her like I did before! I almost lost her once and I'll be damned first before I allow some stupid little narrow minded ex-boyfriend of mine to come between us because he thinks I'm playing some sick demented game!"

She took in a quick breath before continuing, ignoring the boy's attempt to speak. "I love her, Beck and I'm fully aware of what I did to her and how I hurt her. I don't need another reminder. I've seen it in her eyes and trust me when I tell you that it breaks my heart when I think about all the times I hurt her."

Beck dropped his gaze in contrition.

"She has every right to be doubtful and afraid." Her voice dropped sounding small. Just like me, she thought. "I'm terrified, Beck. What if one day she realizes that I'm not worth her time? What if she realizes I'm not as special as she believes? I'm not worth her time. I was a gank to her from day one and now everyday it scares me that she'll wake up and realize that I don't deserve such an amazing girl like her." She tightened her fists, trying to keep hold of her emotions. Tori wasn't the only one feeling doubtful. Jade was scared, petrified. She felt she didn't deserve Tori. She knewshe didn't. She'd been so cruel and unkind and Tori had still managed to forgive, despite everything Tori loved her. Jade didn't know how she would handle it if Tori decided she didn't want her. She couldn't bear to think about it.

Jade huffed and spoke in a lower tone. "I'm not messing with her, Beck." She understood he was only trying to be a good friend to Tori, but it had infuriated her at the accusation. Did he really think that low of her? "I can't hurt her. I know it sounds like a joke coming from me, but I can't and won't hurt her because I'm in love with her." It was the second time she admitted it. She knew she loved Tori, but she'd been afraid to think about what it would be like to be IN love with her. She sighed and took in a quick breath not allowing the boy any room to speak. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a beautiful girlfriend who needs to be tended to at the moment." Jade turned on her heel and made her way outside to find the young Vega.

Tori was leaning against the truck, her head bowed. Jaded didn't have to be close to know that she was crying. Once she was close enough to touch the girl, she took her in her arms and hugged her. She stroked the auburn hair and whispered soothing words into her hair. When the brown eyes finally looked up, Jade had to fight back the urge to break down. There was an unreadable expression written in the brown eyes. "Tori," she began.

"Jade I know what he said is not true. It's just... It makes me angry that I can feel so doubtful about us; you." She swallowed. "I know you love me, I know you do." She looked down, her brows knitting together in frustration.

Jade cupped the girl's face and softly smiled. "Tori," she whispered. She searched in the memorizing brown eyes. There weren't enough words to express how she felt about the brunette. Jade caressed the caramel skin before leaning to kiss the brunette. Any doubt or insecurity vanished in that moment as the kiss spoke all the words the two girls could not verbally articulate.

As the kiss naturally ended, Tori couldn't help but notice again that same look in Jade's eyes from the other night. What was it? Again it disappeared before she had the chance to read into it. She looked down and flinched when she felt a warm hand over her aching hand.

"Does it hurt?" Jade asked softly running her thumb over the slowly bruising knuckles.

Tori nodded. "I probably shouldn't have punched him," she whispered.

Jade chuckled softly. "Sometimes that boy needs to be reminded that there are things he shouldn't be putting his nose in." Jade thought about his words. "Did you not see how torn she was just a couple of weeks ago? Be fair to her." Was she being unfair to Tori? Her jaw suddenly felt heavy. She forced down the cries wanting to consume her and focused on the injured hand.

"Let's go get you some ice," Jade managed to say in the steadiest voice she could muster.

"Jade," Tori tried, noticing Jade's sudden change of emotions in her eyes. What was going on?

Jade shook her head. "You've quite a hook there, Vega." She smirked. "Remind me never to get on your bad side." She winked at her, leading her back inside the school.

Tori softly laughed and shook her head. It amazed her how easily Jade could make her smile.

...

"Tori!" Cat saluted the young Vega from across the hall.

Tori laughed and watched as the bubbly red head practically glide toward her. "Well someone's in a really good mood today!"

Cat giggled. "I could say the same," she responded.

"So what's up, Cat?" There was only one class left before school was done for the day. The passing time in between classes was enough to allow the students time to go to their lockers. The two girls had the final class together and met by their beforehand.

Cat looked at the brunette with a content grin. "You know she loves you." Cat softly spoke as they began to walk to class.

Tori stared at her in question.

"Tori, just because I act like an airhead it doesn't mean I'm actually oblivious. You'd have to be completely brain dead not see how you two feel about each other. Jade can be a stubborn person, Tori, but she loves you."

Tori stared speechless. She stopped walking and turned her full attention to the small redhead.

Cat smiled stopping, too. "I'm her best friend, Tori." She looked around at the now empty hallway. She sat down on the floor by the lockers, understanding they were not going to end up going to class. She gestured for the brunette to sit beside her as she continued. "It took her two weeks after you started attending Hollywood Arts for her show up at my place. She was nearly in tears and all she mumbled was how angry she was and she couldn't take it. She cried for a while then left. I felt dumbstruck, but the next day at school I noticed the hostile behavior she had toward you and I knew then." A knowing grin grew along the smaller girl's features.

The red head paused only for a second taking in a breath. "You know with Beck she was the opposite actually. I've known her for years and I found it strange that she'd actually managed to talk to him, but with you it was different. She seemed to be almost afraid. She hates being afraid. Says she hates feeling vulnerable. That's probably why she lashed out at you. You scared her and made her feel more vulnerable than she's ever felt." Cat's stare softened. "I don't know what happened between you two to change, Tori but she's different. Happy, genuinely happy. She was comfortable with Beck and I was worried she'd settle for Beck. Don't take me wrong, Beck's a great guy, but it seemed like she was trying to convince herself he was the best she could do. She didn't seem truly happy."

Cat sighed. "Tori, in the last two weeks Jade has changed. She's…" Cat stopped as a quick memory played in her mind. "Just take a moment to look at her. Really look at her. She's Jade, the real Jade. She's laughing and joking. You bring that out in her, Tori. I can see you're frightened by all of this, but remember you're not the only one capable of feeling. She might be better at hiding her feelings, but knowing Jade, she's probably terrified." Cat stood looking at the clock against the wall. The bell would be ringing soon. "I only tell you this, Tori because I want you both to be happy together."

Tori thought about the dance they had shared the previous night. Jade had said she wasn't the romantic type. Maybe she wasn't. Maybe Cat was right; Tori brought that out in Jade.

She watched as the small red head stood and waited for the bell to ring. Tori stood, too, thinking about how Jade had been acting. She had been right. Jade was hiding something.

"She needs you Tori," Cat spoke again.

Tori turned around to face the smaller girl.

"She's not going to ask for your help, it's not like Jade, but she does need you," Cat gave her a final look before smiling and taking off. "See ya later, Tori!" She called out as she ran to the doors.

...

Jade settled all the way in the back of the library on the farthest table possible. She would have preferred to have spent the afternoon with her girlfriend, but she wanted to know what she had caused the pop singer to feel during her the time she had forced herself to stay after school in attempt to distract her own thoughts from the Goth. It was as she emptied her book bag across the desk that she realized that it was the table she had sat at the Saturday morning the entire gang had spent at school in detention. Jade felt a wave of emotions fall over her. Had not Tori explained she spend her time in the library in attempt to avoid the Goth in her thoughts?

Jade realized then that despite the half Latina's strongest efforts to avoid her, she was unable to do it completely. That was why she had decided it was best if she left. Guilt and shame dawned on the raven haired girl as she took a seat. Had she been that unbearable for Tori? She could not talk to her, but she could settle with only the memory of the Goth sitting at the table?

Jade knew how Tori felt. She'd been doing her best to avoid the brunette herself. She'd gone as far as getting detention for answering back to the teacher. She wasn't much of a troublemaker in class, but Jade had tried her best to repress her feelings for the girl and in doing so she had resulted in lashing out in anger more than usual.

The relationship with Beck had been great, she was glad it happened, really, but she couldn't seem to shake off the feeling of comfort with him. Jade loved Beck. He was more than a wonderful boyfriend. He'd put up with her through the years, but that was just it. It seemed as the time passed by, Jade couldn't help but feel like she was losing herself. It wasn't Beck's fault. She didn't blame him, but something about their relationship made Jade become aggressive and defensive. She hadn't always been like that. She felt safe with Beck, felt like he was the best she could do. Tori on the other hand scared her, petrified her. She didn't know if she could handle Tori. That's what drove her to fall for her. She brought out the softer side of her. She made her feel guilty. She made her cry, laugh, she scared her. She laughed with Beck, she cried, but it wasn't the same. She'd grown too comfortable with him.

Jade didn't know how to explain it herself, but she knew she loved that Tori could bring that out in her, but it also frightened her. Tori had the power to hurt her, break her. She'd done it the night she had almost gone. Jade didn't know what she would have done had Tori left. Beck left her alone when he decided not to open the door, but it didn't hurt as much as she'd imagined it would have. With just the thought of Tori leaving, it brought tears to the emerald eyes. It caused her chest pain and made her light headed. It scared her so much. Tori had so much power over her and with just one decision she could easily destroy her. That's what scared. It wasn't that she allowed Tori to have such power over her; it was the fact that despite her awareness, she was willing to take the risk of Tori destroying her completely.

She stared at the carved letters on the old wooden table. In the lower corner was a small carved pair of scissors Jade had made during the detention that Saturday morning. Her eyes travelled down to the small microphone that was carved not even a centimeter away. She smiled to herself knowing very well who had carved it and imagined the young Vega carving the microphone with her pencil. Why had Tori spent all her time trying to forget her if she'd only wind up thinking about her every time she sat in the precise seat Jade sat at in that moment. Her fingers outlined the small microphone as she tried to understand the singer's reasoning.

"I don't understand it myself."

Jade looked up startled. "Tori," she whispered. She felt like she'd been caught red-handed. She'd told the girl she had to stay after school. She hadn't lied. She had to take a quiz she'd missed a couple weeks back. Afterward the curiosity of what Tori had found so appealing in the library overpowered her.

Tori softly smiled and took a few steps, taking the seat beside the Goth. "I tried to get you out of my head yet it always seemed impossible." Tori said looking up at the green expecting eyes. She searched in them and noticed for the first something different in them. She finally recognized what the mysterious look in the green eyes was. It wasn't anger or fear. It was insecurity. Not once had Tori ever seen that in the Goth. Despite how upset she'd get she never appeared to be insecure. What was she insecure about?

Tori reached over to grab the pale hand that was clutching at the book bag on the table. "But I don't want you out of my head, Jade." She leaned closer to look directly into the blue-green eyes. Tori noticed the slightest trembling of the girl. "Jade you're shaking." She said wrapping her arms around the pale girl.

Jade struggled to form words. She swallowed hard and breathed slowly before managing to speak. "You scare me." Her voice was so low it was a wonder how Tori had heard her. "You're the only person with the power to break my heart and it just scares the hell out of me. What if I screw this up? What if I do something wrong? I don't want to hurt you and I don't want you to hurt me. I just..." Jade shook her heard flustered. She couldn't find the proper words to explain how she felt. She hadn't realized she was crying until Tori reached over to wipe away the tears from her cheeks.

"Jade," Tori began. She realized in that moment that everything Cat had said to her made sense. Jade wasdifferent. She was fragile. Tori had been so consumed by her own fear of losing the dark haired girl she had almost been blinded by the fact that Jade was also afraid. She'd just been better at hiding it. The way Jade had been behaving suddenly made sense. She'd been a completely different person. She was protective and loving, but she also appeared to be walking on eggshells around Tori. She didn't want Jade to be afraid. Tori would never try to hurt her, not purposely.

"You don't have to be afraid, baby." She spoke softly brushing back a strand of dark hair. "I'm not going to hurt you Jade. I love you. I'm sorry I've caused you to feel like this. I don't want you to be afraid." she stroked the pale cheek. "You're Jade and I'm Tori and we're going to have our differences every now and then, I know that, but none of that matters because at the end of the day I know you love me and you know I love you and that's all that matters, Jade. I know this isn't going to be easy and like you said, it will take a lot of work, but as long as we're both trying and willing we'll be just fine." She caressed the pale cheek and smiled. "I want this, Jade. Us, I want all of it, with the headaches, heartaches, fights, cries, laughs and all the memories we are going to share together. It took longer than it should have for me to see that I'm not the only one afraid in this relationship. I don't care what anyonesays, I love you. I've loved you from the moment I first saw and I will continue to love each and every day." She looked deep into the colored eyes. "I love you, Jade. You were there when I was scared and broken. Now it's my turn to be here for you." She hugged the girl, stroking her hair. She sighed in content knowing that they were going to be okay. They were both human beings. They both had feelings. She held the girl tightly in her arms just like she had held her.

Jade blinked speechless at the girl's words. Jade wasn't afraid anymore. She was certain more than ever that Tori loved her. She had grown tired of crying in front of Tori, felt like it made her look weak, but she realized then that Tori didn't care if Jade had her weak moments. None of that mattered because she loved her. She nodded and allowed herself to cry in the arms of girl who she trusted enough with her entire being not to hurt her.

They were going to be just fine, they both thought falling into a comforting silence when the crying subsided. They knew if either one ever fell, together they could help each other back up.

...

Jade had picked up Tori earlier Saturday evening for their first date. She had yet to tell the girl where they were off to. "You like sea food right?" she asked, keeping her eyes on the road. The drove for almost an hour along the coast enjoying the beautiful view of the sea.

Tori nodded. She felt so jubilant. It was their first official date. Trina had grown annoyed by her sappy mood during the day and decided to lock herself in the room for the rest of the day. Tori didn't care, nothing could ruin that day. Not even Trina. "I love sea food," Tori replied.

"Good," Jade smirked. "I was afraid I might have to have a word with Harris later if he was wrong."

Tori raised a brow. Jade had asked Andre? She smiled to herself and took interlaced her hand with Jade's free hand. After dinner at the surprisingly quiet pier of Santa Monica beach the two girls walked by the sea shore. Tori had managed to convince Jade to ride the Ferris wheel promising to hold her hand the entire time after she had claimed to hate heights. They played a couple games and Jade had won her a stuffed teddy bear, which Tori decided to name Jadelyn, causing Jade herself to giggle at the girl's creativity.

It was a bit chilly in the night. Colored eyes admired the brunette. There she stood looking over the ledge. The pale girl's heart had never pounded so profusely. The oblivious brunette continued to stare down over the ledge on the pier engrossed by the roaring waves. The last time Jade had observed the girl from a distance on her own, she had been in tears in the cold rain. Jade shook away the memory. It was a thought she'd never forgive herself for causing and as she stood and looked at the girl she loved staring out into the middle of the ocean, she knew she never wanted to see that broken look in those captivating chocolate brown eyes. Quietly Jade approached the tanned girl. She slipped her arms around the girl's small waist and rested her chin gently over her shoulder. The girl didn't flinch quickly recognizing the touch.

"It's quite a view," Tori whispered staring out into the sea.

Jade softly smiled looking down at the girl. "It sure is." She kissed the caramel skin of the girl's cheek and whispered, "Tori, I love you more today than I did yesterday, but not as much as I will tomorrow." Tori smiled, turning to face the girl. She looked into the moonlit blue eyes before leaning up on her tiptoes to press her lips in a tender kiss against the dark haired girl's. They broke apart peacefully, Tori in Jade's arms, and enjoyed the comforting silence as they stared at the unending sea together. Like the sea, they knew that whatever lay ahead of them, they would willingly discover it together.
