Lawl I should really have some sort of posting schedule, I know I've just been randomly posting whenever I felt like it… Nah, I'll do it later xDDD Anyway, part 7 everyone!
Disclaimer: Yeah it's nice that some of you may think I'm an old man, but I'm not, so that means I don't own Victorious
When people look at one, all they see is sunshine and rainbows. When they look at the other, they see darkness and scissors. When one smiles, people feel as though the room just got a little brighter. When the other smiles, people cower in the corner in fear at the darkness that radiates from it. When one laughs, the world seems to dance and spin. When the other laughs, the world grows dark and still.
Hard to believe that Jade West and Cat Valentine are best friends. (I just realized I forgot this in part 6! :O)
Jade's POV:
I awoke to the sound of the steady beat of raindrops at the window pane. Stiffness throbbed in my muscles as I groaned and slowly scrambled to a sitting position, rubbing my eyes. I heard a quiet 'hmmm' beside me. Looking over, I saw Cat open her big brown eyes and I smiled, leaning down stiffly to kiss her cheek. "Morning." I said quietly. Cat turned to face me and ours noses bumped together, wide-eyed and dry-tongued. I quickly pulled back and turned my head so she wouldn't see my face beginning to redden. Cat sat up beside me and pulled me into a soft hug. "Morning." She answered back, perking up slightly. She tugged at my sleeve and giggled, "Jade, it's raining!"
"Yeah, so?" I asked, cocking an eyebrow. Cat just smiled and blurted out, "Let's go outside and play!"
"Are you fucking for real, Cat?" I instinctively blurted out, muttering a small "Sorry." When I saw her visibly wince. "Cat, the rain is stupid. All it does is ruin your hair and get you sick. And, plus," I motioned with my body, "I seriously doubt I could do much in my condition."
Cat's lips turned into what had to be the most adorable pout I'd ever seen in my life. "Aw, come on Jadey!" I snarled slightly at the use of her nickname for me but didn't say anything. "It'll be fun!" She prodded my hips slightly and I winced at the stiff pain that crawled around her fingers. "Ow!" I hissed, shaking her off and rubbing my sore ribs. Cat looked downcast for a heartbeat but then she lit up again. "Come on, Jadey! A little exercise will do your muscles well!"
Groaning, I fell backwards and buried my face into the pillow. "Thanks but no thanks." I growled. "I'd rather just stay here and sleep."
"Please, Jadey?" Cat begged me, putting a hand on my arm and shaking me vigorously. I growled, in a bad mood because of how stiff I was, and nudged her off gently. "You're going to keep bothering me until I say yes, aren't you?" I grumbled, turning my face to look up at her. Cat grinned from ear to ear and nodded furiously. With a sigh, I heaved myself up and out of the bed, stretching my mouth in a huge yawn. "Yay!" cat squealed, bouncing excitedly in the bed. I rolled my eyes (though secretly I found it adorable) but I tugged at her hand gently. "Come on." I said gruffly, pulling her out of the bed. "Let's go get ready."
As Cat flung open her front door, she raced outside with outstretched arms and laughed warmly. I shivered against the cold as I closed the door behind me and I watched Cat giggle and twirl like a child. This girl is nuts! I thought half-heartedly as Cat skipped over to me. She smiled and placed a chaste kiss on my cheek, before scampering away again. I felt a smile tug at the corners of my lips and with a quiet giggle, I raced out after her.
"This would be more fun with some music." I yelled over the rain, grabbing my phone from my pocket. As I flipped aimlessly through the music, my fingers faltered at one particular song. Smiling, I clicked play and trotted after Cat (Btw the song is "All Around Me" by Flyleaf. Fucking love that song :P):
"My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
My tongue dances behind my lips for you…"
Giggling, I grabbed Cat and I pulled her close so our faces were inches apart. My hand entwined with hers while my other slid behind her back, while her own free one slid around my neck. I winced slightly at the stiff ache from her touch but didn't say anything. We smiled and twirled, Cat occasionally laughing at the raindrop that splashed on her nose.
"This fire rising through my being
Burning, I'm not used to seeing you…"
Cat leaned her head against my chest and I felt my heart thrumming in my chest, all my stiffness gone. Cat must have felt this too, for she giggled quietly and cuddled closer to me. I placed a soft kiss on her head, smiling into her hair.
"I'm alive
I'm alive…"
Cat squealed in surprise as I suddenly lifted her off the ground, spinning her in the air. "Jade!" she squeaked, clinging onto me. As I put her down, we both threw ours heads back and laughed, ours eyes shut tight.
"I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing…"
Cat and I linked hands, smiling widely at each other. With a playful growl, I tugged at Cat's hands and we went racing through the front yard, laughing like kids. I smiled and took Cat's other hand, and we twirled and danced in the rain; eyes shut and tongues out.
"My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place…"
As the music began to slow once more, I grabbed Cat and pulled her close again. Her hands floated to rest on the back of my neck, while my own rested on her hips. Our foreheads pressed together and we giggled as we felt the rain soak us.
"The music makes me sway
The angels singing say we are alone with you
I am alone and they are too with you…"
I held Cat closer to me as we slow danced, my heart pounding audibly in my chest. Cat smiled and cuddled into my neck, kissing it softly. My breath hitched and I began to shake, thankful it was raining so Cat would think I was trembling because I was cold. Cat looked up at me with wide eyes, giving me a soft smile, and I felt the corners of my own lips trembling to form a smile on my own face.
"I'm alive
I'm alive…"
We giggled as our foreheads pressed together. Cat smiled and leaned in, our breaths mingling. My heart sped up and my eyelids fluttered closed, waiting for cat to just kiss me. As soon as Cat's lips barely brushed mine, she teasingly pulled back and raced off to play in the rain. I opened my eyes and looked at her, my heart still pounding painfully in my chest. Tease. I thought, smirking.
"I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing…"
Laughing, I pounded after Cat, wrapping my arms around her from behind and spinning her. Cat giggled uncontrollably and clung onto me, squealing excitedly. With a playful growl, she ripped herself free of my grip and whipped around, pushing me away shyly. With a soft smile, I grabbed Cat's hand and we raced around, our free hands outstretched.
"And so I cry
The light is white
And I see you…"
The music began to slow again and I pulled Cat close, wrapping my arms around her from behind. I rested me head on her shoulder and we danced around the front yard. Cat looked up at me with those big brown eyes and my heart just melted. With a small smile, she placed a quick kiss on my cheek, and my face flushed.
"I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive…"
Cat suddenly gripped my arms that held her close and with all her might, spun me and herself around. I shrieked in surprise but made no move to stop her, instead we started to laugh and I looked up at the sky, gasping as a raindrop splashed my nose.
"I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing…"
Cat pulled away from me and raced off, looking back over at me. "Come on Jade! Cold feet?" she giggled, twirling and laughing with her arms outstretched. I watched her with a smile on my face, before taking off after her. I lunged at her, and we tumbled round and round the front yard, laughing excitedly.
"Take my hand, I give it to you
Now you owe me, all I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you, I believe…"
Cat held out her hand for me and I took it gladly. With a smile, she and I raced throughout the yard, always gazing at each other joyously. I let go of Cat and twirled in a circle, my tongue sticking out. I've never felt more alive…
"I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed…"
I was so intent on catching the raindrops that I didn't even see Cat running towards me, growling playfully. When I did notice, however, Cat was already leaping at me, giggling. I felt the breath being knocked out of me as Cat tackled me in a bone-crushing hug. As soon I fell onto my back, Cat's lips crashed down on mine. We looked at each other, wide-eyed, but neither of us made any movement to stop. Finally, my eyes fluttered closed and I kissed Cat, tasting her strawberry lip gloss. Cat's stunned lips soon relaxed and she kissed me back, using her hand to prop up my head. My hand slinked down to her waist and we just lay there like that, not even noticing the rain that was pounding down on us.
Finally, I pulled back, licking my lips involuntarily. Cat's eyes opened, and we lay there, staring at each other, panting. Finally, Cat's lips curled into a smile and she stroked my cheek with her free hand. "I liked that." She said, looking away. Even though the clouds made everything dark, I could still see the blush that creeped onto her cheeks. Smiling, I kissed her nose and whispered, "Yeah, it was." We sat there, gazing into each other's eye, before I finally realized we were still outside and I was getting soaked. "Maybe we should go inside." Cat smiled and nodded, getting off of me and holding out her hand to pull me up. Fingers entwined, smiling widely, we walked back inside and all I kept thinking was:
Cat, you're all around me.
Shameless fluff :3 I know, I know, the whole kissing in the rain thing was insanely cliché, but what can I say? I'm just another sucker for Cade fluff :J So ya wanna click that review button? Come on, it's right there. Just staring you in the face… Yup.
