Tori POV
I wake up early in the morning. I jump at the sight of the room. A skull was on the wall next to a pair of scissors, shelves with jars filled with various things. Then I remember I came to Jade's. I look over and see her sleeping. Her skin her usual pale, pink lips slightly parted and her hair a mess, a piece in front of her beautiful face. Beautiful? Yes, beautiful. No, gorgeous. I move the hair out of her face behind her ear making her twitch. I quickly back away out of fear she might jump on me. She has been known to do that.
"Tori don't back away." She says smiling, her eyes still closed. Should I trust her? I mean did tell her everything yesterday.
"Um, Jade, we have school in a hour." that is what I come up with, really.
"Oh, right." she drags herself out I bed. She walks over to her dresser and starts to look in it. She throws me a deep purple T-shirt and a pair of jeans. "Here wear this. It's one of the only things I have with color." she smiles at me.
"Thanks. Bathroom?" I ask her with a smile.
"Just change here. We're both girls. Besides I did change your clothes yesterday." I look down forgetting that Jade dragged me up here in a rush to take my wet clothes off.
"Oh right." I start to take my clothes off. Jade starts to stare at me. I turn to my side trying to cover myself.
"Don't hide yourself. There is no need for...Tor, is that a scar?" she comes up to me and places her hand on my side. I did have a scar.
"Yea." I say trying to cover it.
"What is it from?" she looks at me in the eyes.
"From surgery. I had it when I was little. The scar just never went away."
"Oh. Ok, sorry I asked." she backs away guiltily.
She's been acting weird since yesterday when I told her about the transfusions. But it's Jade. She is a very unpredictable.
We finish getting ready for school and she drives us to get coffee.
"You want anything?"
"Uh no thanks." I really don't like coffee, not the best tasting stuff.
"Alright." She orders a coffee with two sugars, and that's it. How could someone drink that?
When she's done ordering and pays she drives to school. The whole ride is kind of silent. The only thing breaking the silence is the radio. She had the window open, her hair blowing back showing her perfectly sculpted features. How can I be falling for someone that has been mean to me for over a year? Maybe it's that that has made me fall for her. Whatever it was I loved her.
When the car stops in the parking lot I stop her before she can get out.
"What's wrong?" she asks facing me, her eyes an icy blue today, staring down.
"Please don't tell anyone." i say.
"Tell what?" she looks confused.
"About my condition."
"What condition?" she winks at me and gets out of the car. She starts walking to the school.
"Jade, I'm serious, don't tell anyone!" I yell to her. She puts her thumb up; I hope to indicate that she knew not to. I stood by her car for a second when someone can up behind me.
"Don't tell anyone what?" Andre comes up behind me. I jump and my heart starts racing and my breathing becomes heavy.
"Are you out of your mind?" I punch his arm.
"Wow, someone needs to chill. Anyway what did you tell Jade?"
"Uh, nothing." I panic and run into school ignoring Andre's calls. I walk into school and Robbie, Beck and Jade are all gathered by the stairs. I walk up and stand next to Jade. I'm still breathing heavy from when Andre scared me. Jade gives me a look. Oh no, Jade please don't.
"Sup Tori." Robbie says to me with a smile.
"Hey." I sound breathy.
"You alright Tori?" Beck asks concerning.
"She's fine." Jade grabs my arm and pulls me into the bathroom. There are a few girls in there but Jade gave them a look and they all ran off. Jade took my bag and searched through it. "Here." she hands me my inhaler.
"Jade, don't flail this around." I say breathy again.
"Just use it before I make you."
I quickly use it, taking in a deep breath. "I like this side of you."
"What?"
"The nice side. I think it's really cute." Oh shit, I just called her cute.
"You think I'm cute?" I see her cheeks blush a little.
"Uh." I don't know what to say. "Yea. You're pretty too."
"Well I think your adorable." she pokes my nose.
"What?"
"I said your adorable." she's right in front of me. I can feel her warm breath surrounding my face.
"Are you serious about this?" I ask taking a step back even though I love this.
"Yes. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever met and I am without head over heels in love with you Tori Vega."
I swear my heart stopped for a second. Was I hearing correctly? She just said that she loves me. I'm going crazy. This is a dream. This kind of stuff doesn't happen. We are nothing alike. We are opposites. She is the bad girl; I am the typical nice girl. She's not afraid of anything while I'm afraid of many things, mostly death. The girl I love told me she loves me. This can't happen. It shouldn't happen. But it is.
"Tori. Earth to Tori." Jade waves her hand in front of my face. "Tori!"
I snap out of my daydream. "You..." I swallow hard, "Love me."
"Yes. I do. I've wanted you since the day I met you."
"But you were mean to me. You got me in trouble for something I didn't do. I was nice to you. I helped get Mrs. Lee to pay for your play. I got you and Beck back together, even though that didn't last. And even then you were mean to me. If you loved me why would you do that?" I had tears running down my face.
"Shh. Don't cry." she wipes them away. "I did all those out of spite. I was mad that I couldn't have you. I wanted you. I did all those things to see if my feelings would change but they didn't. And last night you broke my heart. I fell into the hole of your love and can't get out." she starts to cry. I wipe her tears.
"Jade, I love you to but I think it would be better as friends for now." I kiss her cheek and leave the bathroom. I hate myself for this but it wouldn't be right. I do want her but it had to be done.
