Hey people I am back and I have to apologies for taking so long with this chapter. I just got so busy with life and work, I had also made a really stupid mistake. You see what had happened was I had written the entire story pretty much as it came to me. I had written the first chapter first than the last chapter after that and as time went I started to fill in the middle. The only problem was after I uploaded the first chapter I went back through all of my notes and realized that I had written all of the chapters, all but one, chapter 2. Yea I know how did I forget to write chapter 2? Well I have no flippin idea. But all that's important is that its here now and the wait for the rest of the story wont be a long one because its already done. I promise :)I would have had this up last night but I got distracted watching movies and I couldn't focus. Well whatever, on to whats more important.
Enjoy! and don't forget to review and let me know how you like it and what you want to see differently, it's never to late to make changes.

It was a Sunday when it happened, Tori and Jade where lounging on the couch at Vega residence watching Celebrities Under Water. Tori hated the show, she thought it was sad but Jade loved it. She found D list celebrities almost drowning hilarious. As the day turned dark and another school day neared they called it a night and Tori walked Jade to her car. Their goodnight kiss was sweet and lingering followed by I love you's and promises to call upon returning home. Tori watched as Jade got into her car buckled her seat belt and backed away blowing one last kiss. With the cold nipping at her feet she quickly made her way back inside closing the door and sliding down the back of it with a big goofy smile plastered on her face. She couldn't help but wonder what she had done in another life that was so good she was gifted with a girl like Jade. She didn't deserve a girl like her and she would be damned if she did anything to lose her. The thoughts ran through her mind so quickly but soon came to a startling halt when she heard the defining sound of crunching metal and shattering glass.
She jumped up off the floor and ran outside to see what the cause of all the noise had been. She scanned her surroundings and when her eyes landed on the disaster at the end of the street she didn't think she just ran. As she got closer more and more details began to process in her mind, telling her what her conscious mind didn't want to hear. It was telling her that the car that was mangled and broken looked a whole lot like Jade's, it way saying the long raven hair the was spewing out of the broken drivers side window looked a so much like hers as well. Then her mind told her that the blood that was dripping and cascading down the car door looked like to much for the person it came from to still be alive. Her heart told her it couldn't be Jade but her mind told her that she was stupid if she really believed that it was someone else. As she ran to the car and pulled open the door, quickly catching the limp body that fell out her mind proved victorious when she was met with dazed blue eyes, Jade's eyes.
Tori was on the border of an emotional wreck and hysterics but she was able to subdue that panic enough to call the paramedics so that she could get Jade the help she so desperately needed. When she hung up with the operator she dropped the calm front and broke down. "Jade!, Jade baby wake up, wake up please!" She screamed, shaking the girl trying to rouse her awake. Her efforts prove useful when Jade's eyes slowly open more from their already slightly ajar position. She lets out a painful moan and looks up with watery eyes meeting Tori's gaze. Jade is fading fast and she knows it, she looks up to Tori with pleading eyes, " I love you so much Tori, I really do!". Her sobs are so hard she can hardly get the words out. "I know Jade and I love you, so so much." She's weak but still manages to pull Tori down to her lips as they share a kiss so full of love and passion it would break your heart. The tears never stopped as their lips parted their foreheads touching. As the sounds of the ambulance neared Tori looked into Jade's slowly closing eyes and held her close praying for a miracle.
Jade took a deep breath and looked at Tori unable to stop the tears, " Please Tori, please don't go!, Don't leave me here all by myself!" She whispered. "Jade, Jade calm down, I am not going anywhere okay I am going to be right here I promise. I am not going anywhere, I could never leave you." Jade's breathing started to speed up and her eyes held a scared look. The ambulance came quickly and loaded Jade into the back, Tori following closely never letting go of Jade's hand. The young Vega was soon forced into a corner helpless while Jade flat lined twice, than once again while being rushed through the doors of the emergency room. Tori was forced to leave Jade as they took her into surgery. She waited what felt like a lifetime until the doctor finally approached. He looked around before he focused his attention on Tori, "Are you here for Jadelyn West?".
Tori jumped up quickly rushing to the doctor. "Yes how is she! Please tell me she's alright." The doctor had a somber look on his face and avoided eye contact. "Well she's awake now, but her injuries where to extensive and we where unable fix all of the damage that was done." Tori's breath came in short hard gasps and she was finding it hard to breath. "What does that mean? What going to happen to her?" The doctor took a deep breath and than looked Tori straight in the eye, "She doesn't have much time left and will be lucky if she makes it through the night, so I suggest you say your goodbyes now."
With that he walked away leaving a broken Tori with her head between her knees sobbing, gasping for air. With tears rolling down her face soaking the collar of her shirt she gets up and runs to Jades room. She gets to the door and rushes in stopping short with her breath catching in her chest. She never thought that she would see Jade again, yet she is. Though her worse fears where still happening before her eyes but she could do nothing about it. She was lucky to have these last moments with her and she'd be damned if she wasted on more second of it. Jade looked into the beautiful chocolate eyes that she loved so much and whimpered, "Tori". She was helpless and just wanted Tori to be there with her for as long as possible.
At hearing Jades broken voice Tori rushed over and knelled in the chair next to the bed trying to get as close to Jade as possible without actually getting in the bed with her, she was so scared to hurt the raven haired beauty. Jade was so happy to see her but she didn't want Tori to see her that way. Though she knew the severity of the situation and wouldn't lose any more time with the young Latina. She went to speak but felt a pain like no other shoot thought her body. She tried to focus on what she needed to say, she knew it would hurt Tori but she needed her to know, "Tori.. I..I can't hold on for much longer, it hurts so badly."
As much as Tori wanted to yell and scream at Jade to hold on and stay strong because she would pull through she knew she couldn't. What she needed to do now was make Jade feel confident and reassured that what was about to happen was not of her control and that it was okay. "Jade baby look at me, I love you with all my heart okay?" Jade nods, "I love you to" Tori smiled and continued, "I know that your hurting and your trying so hard to hold on as long as you can but you don't need to worry okay. Its alright Jade, you can close your eyes okay, its alright." "I want to so badly Tori but I can't! If I am gone who's going to take care of you? You need me and I can't go when I know that you need me." Jades voice was shallow but it was still full of emotion. "I know Jade, I know that I need you but I promise I will be alright. You can let go okay. Let go and know that I love you and that I will learn to be alright when your not there to take care of me. Its okay Jade, its okay." Tori stroked Jades hair softly than stroked her cheek wiping away the tears that lay there.
New tears replaced the old as Jade spoke, "Tori can you hold me please?" She sounded so broken and it hurt seeing her like that. "Okay" is all Tori replied before raising from the hospital chair and crawling into Jades bed beside her, getting under the blankets. She had Jade cuddled into her chest and she held her tight. Tori held on to Jade as tightly as possible without hurting her while supporting the girls shaking shoulders as she cried softly into her. As hard as she tried Tori couldn't stay strong and she broke down and cried with Jade for the last time. Jades cries slowly died down as did the sound of the heart monitor, until there was no sound from Jade at all.
Tori cried, rocking Jade back and forth holding on for dear life. She knows that once she lets go its all over. She looked down to Jade, who looked so peaceful even with the tear stains on her cheeks while Tori could feel herself quickly falling into a dark hole of depression. She looked out the window to the bright moon that shown through noticing the small drops of rain fall to the windowpane. Though it was just a drizzle she could tell that it was just the beginning.
Well that's it, you know what to do. The next chapter will be up much sooner than this one was.
