- Chapter 16: Jade's POV -
We finally managed to get back to the camp alive! At first, I didn't see anyone and thought that they must have leave to finally look for us but I quickly found out that I was completely wrong, they were just playing a stupid game in the boys' tent!
"Jadey! Tori!" Cat shouted when we made our way through the tent' entrance, pulling the both of us into a tight group hug "I was so worried you were lost into the wood"
"Really?" I asked, pulling back from the hug to see her nod "So why didn't you come to look for us?! We almost died in there!"
She looked around, as if she wanted to make sure no one could hear what she was about to say but of course, the tent was not a palace and everyone could hear so she took my hand and Tori's to lead us to our tent.
"Okay Cat what's the big deal?" Tori asked with a worried look
"First of all, I want you to know that nothing is my fault" she began with an ashamed face, lolling down at the floor
Oh my god… What did she do?
"What did you do?" Tori asked, as if she was reading my mind
"Promise me you won't be angry at me" she almost whispered, finally facing us
"Look Kitty Cat" I tried to reassure her "I'm sorry I reacted that way but why didn't any of you wait for us at the lake? Or even came to look for us when you arrived at the camp?" I asked as calmly as I could
"If I tell you, you promise you won't be mad?"
"I promise" I said, looking straight into her eyes to let her know that I meant it
Tori nodded in agreement
"Kay kay" she agreed "So Beck saw that Tori went after you at the lake and he became suspicious when neither of you came back so he went to investigate and he saw that you were crying and that Tori was holding you…"
That bastard… He's going to pay for that!
"Did he heard anything?" Tori asked
"No, he was too far away to hear what you were saying but when he came back he was really angry and he told us to leave immediately. I wanted to stay and wait for you to come back but he gripped my wrist and dragged me to the camp, telling me to shut up if I didn't want him to make me regret so I did what he said" she told us, looking ashamed again
"He is so going to regret that" I mumbled, making my way toward the exit of the tent to say a few words to the thing that used to be my boyfriend but I was stopped by someone gripping on my wrist. I turned around to see Tori looking at me worriedly
"Jade you can't do that" she said softly, pulling me toward her
"Why so?" I barked, trying to escape her grape "That son of a bitch spied on us, he told it to everyone and he kidnapped and threatened my best friend!"
"I know but hitting the shit out of him won't help anything"
"Who said I was planning on hitting him?"
"Jade" she warned "Believe me or not but I know you and when you are that angry you do things you often regret"
"She's right Jade" Cat interrupted "you should try to calm down a bit before going to see him"
"Let me go!" I barked, failing again to escape her
"No way" she said calmly but firmly, wrapping her arms around my waist to pull me into a hug
"That doesn't work with me Vega" I whispered into her ear, trying my best to resist the urge to wrap my arm around her as well
"Oh really?" she asked, not believing a word of what I just said
"Really" I nodded
"And what if I do that?" she asked teasingly, placing soft kisses on my neck and gently rubbing my back with her right hand
"Well... maybe that could work" I admitted, placing my hands on her hips and crashing my lips on hers
"That's what I was thinking" she whispered against my lips
"Hmm… guys?" Cat tried shyly "I'm sorry to interrupt… I think I'm just going to go back to the boys" she said apparently embarrassed, making her way to exit
I pulled back from Tori and grab on her arm before she was out
"There's no way you're going back there" I stated
"But what about Robbie and Andre?"
"They are strong enough to defend themselves if Beck tries something! I mean Andre is strong enough to defend the both of them" I smirked
"And I'm sure Beck won't do anything to them" Tori added, coming by my side "You're staying with us little red"
"That's okay, I'll let you alone so that you can… have fun?" she said, more like a question
I tried to hide the smile threatening to appear
"That's okay Cat we can 'have fun' even if you're here" she winked "It might be even funnier if you're here"
That was too much for me and I burst into laughter (AN: does that mean anything? ^^)
"What's going on with you?" Cat asked with a hint of worry in her voice
"Nothing" I managed to say "It's just that…"
I wasn't able to speak anymore or to stand up without threatening to collapse at any moment so I moved to lay on my 'bed' where I sank my head into my pillow to stifle my laughter. I quickly felt someone lying next to me, probably Tori. I looked up from my pillow to find both Cat and Tori sitting next to me, watching me with a worried look
"What's going on?" I asked on a more serious tone "You look like you've just seen a monster"
"Are you sure you're okay Jade?" Tori asked, placing a hand on my shoulder
"Yeah it's just that I was thinking of you 'having fun' with Cat cause you know…" the laughter took me back
"Because you having fun with Cat isn't as awkward?" she asked
"Well this isn't the same" I explained on a more serious tone
"Why so?"
"Cause it would not be the first time" I simply said
"What?!" she shouted
"I'm out now!" Cat exclaimed, running out of the tent before I could do anything to stop her
"What's that all about?"
"No big deal" I explained
"I thought that… You told me Cat was just your best friend!" she exclaimed
"That's what I told you and that's the truth, I have absolutely no feelings for Cat"
"Why did you kiss her then?"
"I wanted to make sure I was … you know, into girls" I mumbled
"Really?"
"Yeah" I nodded "the only one I have true feelings for is you" I whispered in her ear, pulling her over me so that she is now straddling me, my hands around her waist, keeping her from moving even if I doubt she would go anywhere at that moment
"Jade" she whispered between kisses
"Hmm"
"She should…really…go check…on Cat" she managed to say
"That can wait" I whispered back, not wanting to let her go
"Jade" she said again, trying to sit up
"But I don't want you to go" I whined
"That's really cute of you but we should really go check on her" she finally managed to squirm out of my grasp and off the bed
"Never call me cute again!"
"What are you gonna if that happens?" she teased
"I wouldn't want to know" I replied
"Is that so?" she asked and I nodded "Okay, I'm out" she said before making her way to exit the tent
"Come back here" I shouted
"Are you going to tell me?" she inquired
"Sure" I sighed "just come here, I don't want everyone to know"
She made her way toward the bed
"Closer" I commanded
She leaned on the bed so that her head is now inches for mine
"Closer" I whispered into her ear
She leaned even closer, her breath tickling my neck
"So?" she asked "What are you gonna do if I call you cute?"
I just grabbed her face and pulled her toward mine to kiss her lips one more time. She quickly pulled away, catching that I wasn't going to tell her anything
"I think I'll call you that more often if that's the way I'm treated afterwards" she winked before exiting the tent to check if Cat was still alive
The effect that girl has on me is just too much… How are we supposed to live with that?! Guess I'll find out soon enough…
