Jaded Ways
Chapter 7
A/N: so I've come up with an overall plotline and I have to say, this story is going to get very interesting later on. This story is going to be rather long I believe. Also, please note that this is my first romance story I've ever written so forgive me if it's not all that great.
After last night's events Jade wakes up with a raging headache. "Aww, fuck." She puts one hand to her forehead, as she walks over to a cabinet in her room, opening it and pulling out a glass and places it on a counter below the cabinet. She opens a drawer inside the counter top and pulls out a container of blood tablets placing it on the counter. Jade walks into her bathroom connected to her room, and fills the glass with water before coming back into the room and dropping a blood tablet into the glass. After it's completely dissolved she drinks it, feeling her headache subside.
Jades room is a typical rectangular room. When you walk into her room, the door leading to her hallway outside her room is in one corner of her room. When you first walk in, you can see her bed and window directly across from you alongside the opposite wall.
Jades room is very dark, as she has very dark, thick, black curtains that block out the sun. Jades walls are painted a dark shade of red, and her carpets are black. In one corner of her room, near her window, she has a large king sized bed, with large comfy red and black covers, bed spread, and pillows. Next to her bed sits a small bedside table with a lamp and a remote that controls both the lighting, and the air conditioning of the entire room. In the corner across from her bed sits a large dresser. In between the bed and dresser is a large TV with your typical setup and a large couch a few feet away with a coffee table between the couch and the TV. Next to the dresser is a door which leads to a large walk in closet, and a few feet away from the door alongside the wall is another door which leads into her bathroom. In between the doors sits Seymour's bat cage.
Not far from there is a decent sized desk with a laptop resting on it, a lamp, some books, and some CD's. The large steel punching cylinder is just a few feet away from there in the corner. The countertop with drawers and a cabinet attached to the wall not much higher are a few feet away from the steel punching cylinder, but on the connecting wall as the steel punching cylinder is in the corner. There are many shelves throughout her room with odd little things on them. As well as a huge bookshelf with many books and layers of small shelves with hundreds of CD's in them. Between her bed and her door, there is a stereo system hooked up with a large subwoofer and she has small speakers all along the top of her room, connecting to her ceiling. Due to her room being soundproof, she can play her music as loud as she wants. She has various instruments, mostly various guitars on stands against the walls wherever there's room.
Jade is a total mess right now. And she's angry about crying last night. 'Ugh! What was I thinking? It's not that big of a deal. I'll just go with Cat to the mall and have a good time. There's no reason to get upset over all this.' Jade reasons to herself. Jade goes into her closet and picks out an outfit, placing it on her bed as she walks into her bathroom to shower and get ready. After taking a refreshing hot shower Jade walks into her room and dries herself off as she looks at her phone. 'Hmm. 9 A.M. Why haven't I been able to sleep in lately? I've been getting up way too early.' Jade thinks to herself as she gets dressed. After getting dressed and making sure her hair is completely dried she begins to put on her makeup, taking her time doing so.
After finishing getting ready she decides to go to Cats house. Knowing Cat's still asleep, Jade takes out her key to Cat's house and lets herself in. Yeah Jade has a key to Cat's house. She's over there a lot. She silently goes into Cat's room and sees Cat quietly sleeping, tightly hugging the tiger Jade won her. Jade can tell Cat was crying last night as she can see the running makeup on Cat's face. 'Why was Cat crying last night?' Jade wanders to herself. As she watches Cat sleep, she see's Cat's expression change and hear her grunting quietly muttering something. Cat's having a nightmare. Curious to what Cat's dreaming about she decides to take a little look.
*Cat's dream*
Cat is sitting in her house alone, silently crying while staring at four pictures lying on the floor before her. If you look closely, you can see a picture of Cat's mom, her dad, and her brother. Cat picks up the last picture and stares at it, crying harder. It's a picture of Jade. "Why did you leave me, Jade?" Cat quietly says in a broken voice. Earlier in the dream, Cat had stood in her home watching each person she cared most about leaving out the door to forever disappear, as she could only stand there watching, helplessly. Now Cat was hugging Jades picture, while sobbing loudly.
"I love you…Why did you have to leave me? Do you not love me?" Cat continues to say in between sobs, with her broken voice. Jade is heartbroken at seeing this before her. Cat was having a nightmare where everyone she loves leaves her, including Jade. "Cat…" Jade gently says as she slowly walks towards her crying friend. This only makes Cat sob even more. "You're so cruel! Making me hear Jades voice when she's gone!" Cat continues to sob as Jade gets closer, now only a few feet away.
"Cat, you're not hearing voices. It's me. It's Jade. Turn around." Jade says taking another step towards Cat her arms slowly reaching out for her. "Nice try! I'm not falling for that again! Jade left me! And she's never coming back! Just leave me alone already!" Cat shrieks, clearly in a lot of pain. "Cat, I'm not going anywhere!" Jade says as she leaps towards Cat and wraps her arms around her. Cat looks up in surprise. "This warmth. I recognize it." Cat says, a bit of light coming back to her. "J-Jade?" Cat reluctantly says. "Yes, Cat. It's me. It's Jade. I'm here for you. I will always be here for you. I'm never going to let you go." Jade says as she squeezes Cat. At this Cat tentatively turns around in Jades grasp. She looks up to see Jades face, looking into her eyes. A single teardrop leaves Jade's eye as she says "I will never ever leave you, Cat. I will always be here for you. No matter what." Cat smiles as she looks up at Jade.
Jade is plunged out of Cat's dream and falls back to reality. Cat begins to stir, before waking up. Cat opens her heavy eyes, moving her balled up fists to rub them awake. She looks up to see Jade standing before her, a single tear escaping her eye. "J-Jade? Is that you?" Cat says wearily. "Yeah Cat. It's me." Jade says in a calm reassuring way. "What are you doing here?" Cat asks as she begins to sit up in her bed. "And, are you crying? Jade why are you crying?" Cat says as her eyes begin to fully open at the sight of a tear on Jade's face. Jade slowly and gently walks over to Cat and softly says to her "Because you're just so beautiful." As she takes Cats cheek in her hand and kisses Cat on the forehead. Cat's eyes widen, and her cheeks turn crimson.
"W-Wh-What was that for?" Cat stutters. "Nothing. I just felt like it." Jade says as she stands back up and smiles down at Cat's embarrassed face. Cat is looking away from Jade as she blushes. Jade can't help but notice Cat is wearing her night gown, that her grandmother made her. 'Her grandmothers nightgown? The tiger I won her? The crying? The Dream? What is going on? Is Cat really that worried about losing me?' Jade thinks to herself.
Cat hadn't noticed before, but now that she really looks at Jade, her eyes widen at what Jade is wearing. Jade is wearing some very sexy, revealing clothing, and Cat can't help but stare. Jade is wearing all black, with a bit of red here and there. She has on a short black leather skirt, black fishnet stockings, black leather thigh high boots, a black, red trimmed blouse, which shows cleavage, and a black leather Jacket. Her makeup and hair are done special. Her makeup is dark as usual, but she has a light shade of red colored lips. And instead of her usual highlight colors, today she has the same colored hair Cat has in her highlights. She's carrying a small leather purse on her shoulder and she has red colored nails. She has a ruby ring on one hand and some black and red bracelets on each wrist. Around her neck, is a black leather necklace that comes down just beneath the throat in a v-shape with a large ruby embezzled in the center.
Jade smirks as she sees Cat gawk at her, her mouth literally hanging open. "You've got a bit of drool there." Jade says teasingly to Cat, who awakes from her Jade induced trance. She closes her mouth and wipes away the drool on her cheek. She hides her face in embarrassment. Jade continues to smirk and even laughs a bit at her reaction. "Don't worry, Cat. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Jade says in an alluring way as she bends down a bit to meet Cat at eye level. Cat looks at Jade, but when she sees how she's standing her gaze shifts from Jades eyes. No longer looking at Jade's face, Cat lowers her gaze to stare directly down Jades blouse.
Jade leans into Cat getting closer and closer to Cat's face. Just as their lips are about to meet, Cat gulps and Jade shifts so as to just barely miss her face, gently grazing Cats cheek, causing a shiver to travel down Cats spine. Jades lips stop when their to Cat's ear. Jade seductively whispers into Cat's ear "Don't worry, Cat. I won't bite," Cat's eyes begin to widen. Jade begins to back away before reapplying her lips near Cat's ear and saying "Hard." At this Cat gulps again. Her face is redder than her hair at this point as Cat begins to freeze, slowly falling on her back.
Jade smirks deviously, before she begins to chuckle at Cat's reaction. "Alright. Enough teasing. It's time to get up and get ready, Cat." Jade says while taking a hold of one of Cats arms and gently dragging her up. "Come on." Jade says to Cat. "If you get up I'll take you to get ice cream." Jade says in a sweet tone. At this Cat immediately snaps out of her trance. She turns her head before looking up to Jade. "Jade! That was so mean of you!" Cat says as she swats Jade on the arm. Jade just laughs and says "Sorry, Cat. I just couldn't resist. With the way you were gawking at me and all." Jade says in a playful tone. "I was not gawking!" Cat shouts in a high pitched voice. "Of course you weren't Cat." Jade says sarcastically, playfully rolling her eyes. "I wasn't!" Cat shouts again, in her high pitched tone. Jade just giggles at her. "Alright, Cat. It's time to get ready. We have a big day ahead of us." Jade says in a Jade-level happy voice.
"We do?" Cat asks looking puzzled. "Yeah, we do. We're going to the mall, remember?" Jade asks. "Oh. Oh yeah!" Cat cheers happily, finally remembering. Even though Cat spent all night convincing herself Jade doesn't like her, it's as if all of that just disappears now that Jade is with her. All her worries just go away, as if they don't even exist. There are only rare occasions that they manage to find their way back. Of course Cat isn't the only one to feel this way. Jade also forgets all worries when around Cat. When she's with Cat, things just don't seem so bad. And all the problems of the world just seem to fade away. Which Jade both really loves, and hates.
Jade finally manages to get Cat out of bed and convinces her to go take a shower and get ready. As Cat's getting ready, Jade decides to go downstairs and make them a light breakfast. Cat takes a quick five-minute shower and dries herself off. She goes through her clothes trying to find the perfect outfit to wear. She eventually decides to wear a tight v-neck shirt, which shows her bellybutton, and short frilly skirt, with a light pink Jacket. If Jade was going to play dirty, then so was Cat. Two could play at that game, Cat decided. Everything Cat's wearing is colorful and girly, which would normally make Jade physically sick on any other person, but on Cat, Jade actually liked it. Though Jade likes anything Cat wears. She decided to put a large red bow in her hair, and wear a necklace Jade had got her years ago. It was a plain silver necklace with one half of a heart at the end. Jade had one as well, but didn't ever wear it visibly. But Cat knew that Jade ALWAYS had it on her somewhere.
After finishing getting ready, Cat goes downstairs where Jade has out some fruit, yogurt, bread, and water for them to eat as a light meal. After eating their food, they leave the house and get into Jades car. They listened to one of Jades many CD's she has in her car as they drive to the mall. It doesn't take them long to get to the mall, as they drive into the parking lot and park the car. As it is Sunday morning there aren't many people at the mall right now, so finding a parking spot was no problem.
As the two get out of the car and walk towards the mall entrance, Jade sees an acorn on the cement. As they walk towards it, Jade lightly kicks it causing it to soar through the air landing on the windshield of a car close to one hundred feet away, then rolling down and landing on the hood of the car. Jade smirks to herself as they continue walking, all the while Cat is going on about this one time her and her brother went to the mall, and how he assaulted a security guard, thinking it was the clown who shot him, and also their cousin. Of course it wasn't and they were kicked out of the mall.
"Your brother assaulted a mall cop?" Jade asked amused. "Yeah, he thought it was our cousin Jessie." Cat says. "The one who shot your brother?" Jade questions. "Yep. He thought it was him, and he wanted revenge so he beat him with a big bread stick. One of those big, hard, loafs." Cat explains to Jade using hand gestures to make it easier. "The guy used a taser on my brother. It hit him right in the nether regions. He's okay now." Cat says in her usual happy tone. "Whoa. Ouch. That sounds painful." Jade says to Cat as they enter the mall.
After entering the mall, the two roam around aimlessly checking out all kinds of stores. After a while they go by the food court to get some smoothies. After getting their smoothies Cat happily drinks hers and says "Yay! I love smoothies!" which causes Jade to smile at her, and how she seems to love just about everything.
The two pass a store which catches Jades attention. "Let's go in there Cat." Jade says while pointing towards 'Hottopic'. Cat shakes her head and says "No. That place creeps me out. It's too scary in there." Cat says while looking away with a scared expression on her face. Jade just stares at her dumbfounded. "Cat. It's not scary." Jade says in a serious tone. "Uh-Huh!" Cat pleads. Jade puts a hand to her forehead as she speaks "Cat, you've seen me when I turn into a vampire and rip people to shreds." Jade says, confused at Cat's way of thinking. "Well yeah, but they were trying to hurt us, and you were just protecting us." Cat explains, not seeing Jade's point. By now, Jade has a full on headache. She sighs, then lowers her hand and looks Cat straight in the eye, with a serious and confident expression. "Cat, there's nothing to fear. I will always be here to protect you. Just trust me. Alright?" Jade says as she puts out her hand for Cat to take hold of. Cat's a bit reluctant at first, but seeing that look in Jades eye, always makes her feel safe. "Alright, Jade. I trust you." Cat says as she takes Jades hand.
After about twenty minutes the two exit the store smiling and laughing completely forgetting Cats earlier fear. They're still holding hands as they walk further into the mall. "Ooh! Jade, look!" Cat says happily, jumping up and down, while pointing to a near bye shop. Jade shakes her head. "No way. We are not going in there." Jade says sternly. Cat frowns and says "But Jade, I really wanna go in there!" whining to Jade. "Well too bad. There's no way in hell I am ever going into that store." Jade says, letting go of Cat's hand and crossing her arms over her chest. "But you promised! You said that as long as I went to any stores you wanted to go to I could go to any I wanted to go to!" Cat whines. Jade is desperate not to go, so she does what comes natural. She lies. "I don't know what you're talking about, Cat. I never said anything of the sort." Jade says, looking away from Cat. "Yes you do! You did say that! I remember! Why are you lying to me?" Cat whines, yelling at Jade with a sad look on her face. "I even went to that store for you! So you have to!" Cat persists. As Cat loudly pleads, throwing a Cat tantrum, people begin to stare. "What are you talking about? You ended up loving that store! You even bought a bracelet. See?" Jade grabs Cats wrist, pulling back her jacket sleeve and showing Cat the bracelet she bought. It's a bracelet with Gir, from invader Zim on it. "What? I like Gir! He's so cute and funny!" Cat defends.
"Cat, I'm not going into that store, that's final." Jade says sternly, looking Cat in the eye. Which is a big mistake on her part. "But, JADE. I wanna go!" Cat begins giving her the puppy dog pout. 'Damnit! Not the fucking puppy dog pout!' Jade mentally swears. "No." Jade says, not giving in, even if it kills her. "JAAAAAADDDDDEEEEEE!" Cat whines, giving the most adorable pleading face possible. "Fuck!" Jade slams her foot on the ground, swinging her arms downward for emphasis. "Fine." Jade mutters, looking away from Cat, giving in. "Yay!" Cat shrieks and hugs Jade. "You're the best, Jade!" Cat happily exclaims as she takes Jades hand and drags her into "Build a Bear". Much to Jades dismay. Jade grumpily follows Cat into the depths of despair. Jade may not make it out alive.
Cat happily runs around looking at all sorts of stuff like a hyper little kid without a parent to stop them. Jade just stands there looking around in disgust. Being in this place really makes Jade want to set herself on fire. And this place while she's at it. Cat comes bouncing, yes bouncing to Jade. She grabs Jades hand and drags her with her to the area where you pick out the animal skin. "So I was thinking that we could both make each other a bear!" Cat happily says to Jade, who just stairs at her with both shock and disgust. She actually expects Jade to touch these things? Who does she think she is? Oh, right. She's Cat. Damnit, Cat! "You want me to MAKE one?" Jade says in pure disgust. Cat being too happy says "Yeah!" in her oblivious tone.
'.GOD!' Jade thinks to herself. 'I'm standing here in fucking Build a Bear, actually about to make a fucking bear!' Jade thinks to herself. After a while, and much cursing, Jade decides the sooner she's done the sooner she can leave this nightmarish hell hole. Jade looks around and ends up picking a purple panther, and a Dracula themed outfit. There really wasn't much else she could go with. Cat dragged her to the hearts. You know those ones you can record messages in. "Just say whatever you want to. Like, 'Hey Cat, I think you're pretty.'" Cat says in a guy's voice. Jade raises an eyebrow at this. "So I sound like a guy now, do I?" Jade says annoyed. "No! Of course not! Silly!" Cat says, playfully hitting Jade on the arm. Jade's eye twitches. "Then why'd you use a guy's voice?" Jade asks, ticked off by this situation. "Because…" Cat shifts her gaze embarrassed. "Usually I'd be on a date with a guy, so I usually use a guy's voice for that sort of thing, but I'm on a date with you." Cat says quietly, biting her lip and swaying in place, with both her hands in front of her. Jade is baffled by this. Cat is confusing. "Then why not just use my voice instead?" Jade says, clearly not understanding Cat's logic here.
"Because, no one can imitate Jade West! There's only one you! No one could ever imitate you!" Cat defends as she looks at Jade in amazement. Jade while flattered, is still confused by Cat's logic, but decides to just let it go. "Ok. Let's record our messages now." Jade says. "KK!" Cat happily agrees. They both go to separate areas so their messages will be a surprise and record what they want to say. After their bears are done they exchange them, and agree to not listen to them until they're apart. "I'm gonna listen to mine as soon as I get home!" Cat happily cheers, as they exit the shop.
They end up eating lunch at the food court, before finally leaving the mall. They found a lot of great stuff while they were there. They even went to an arcade and played some old style arcade games. Jade let Cat win most of them. Jade's favorite one, was the motorcycle racing one, cause her and Cat rode that one together. Cat sat up front and Jade sat behind her controlling the movement. They also did dance dance revolution at its highest difficulty impressing everyone with their awesome dance moves, and their perfect synchronization.
After leaving the mall, Jade decided to take Cat baby golfing, as Cat loved it. Cat is extremely good at baby golf. She's like an expert. The best damn baby golfer in the whole world. She got a hole in one every single time, getting a perfect score. Jade was always impressed with Cat's baby golfing skills.
After playing Baby golf, Jade took Cat to get ice cream. They stopped by an ice cream shop near a beach and bought two ice cream cones. They took their ice cream cones and began walking along the beach, hand in hand. The sun was beginning to set and they sat down, eating their ice cream, listening to the sound of crashing waves and watching the sun set before them. This was the perfect day. Nothing is going to ruin it. They sit there in silence finishing their frozen treats as the sun sets.
"Have you ever seen a more beautiful sight?" Cat asks as she stares at the setting sun. Jade looks at Cat and sweetly says "Yes, I have." Jade smiles sweetly at Cat who looks at her, confused at first. "Really? What?" Cat asks innocently. "You." Jade says with complete sincerity. Cat can't help but smile a huge smile and blush at Jades sappy, cliché statement. Cat knows how much Jade hates saps, and clichés. So this means a lot to her, for Jade to actually be sappy and use a cliché.
The two stare into each other's eyes, the world around them disappearing. They slowly lean towards one another, their lips but mere centimeters apart. They both close their eyes as they are about to close the distance. Unfortunately, things just aren't that easy. "Hey! Have either of you seen my dog?" Some idiot guy comes up running towards them, interrupting them.
Fire erupts in Jades eyes as she is about to rip this guys throat out. Just as Jade was about to get up to kill this guy, Cat grabs her arm, and looks deep into Jade's eyes. Seeing the look in Cat's eyes is all it takes to calm Jade down. "No sorry." Cat says sweetly as the guy says "Aww man!" and runs off.
"Stupid Bastard!" Jade mutters to herself, the mood now gone. Cat didn't hear her but it's not like she needed to as she knows how Jade feels. "Idiot." Cat says under her breath, which Jade hears and smiles to.
Cat ends up eating too much of her ice cream at once and this is what happens. "Brain freeze!" Cat yells while clutching her head. "Here maybe this'll make it better." After saying this, Jade proceeds to kiss Cat on the forehead. This causes Cats head to catch on fire. "Better?" Jade asks. "Much. Thank you Jade." Cat says innocently. "No problem Cat."
After finishing their ice cream, Jade takes Cat home. It doesn't take long for them to arrive at Cat's house. When they arrive, they sit quietly for a minute in Cat's driveway. "Thank you so much for today Jade! It was perfect! The best day ever!" Cat says in the sweetest voice. "You're welcome Cat." Jade says with a smile and a truly sincere tone.
"But it's not the best day ever, yet." Jade says slyly. "What do you mean?" Cat says with a truly confused look on her face. Without saying another word, Jade slowly leans towards Cat. Cat knows what's about to come. Her heart is pounding so hard she swears it's going to pop right out of her chest at any moment. Cat closes her eyes and leans in to Jade. Jade fills the gap, softly pressing her lips against Cat's. The two meld together in perfect harmony. Words cannot describe what these two are feeling right now. It's truly divine. 'Tastes like watermelon, cotton candy, and sugary sweetness.' Jade thinks to herself. 'MMmm coffee.' Cat thinks to herself as they kiss. The kiss only lasts for like ten to fifteen seconds, but it feels like an eternity. Like time has stopped in this exact moment so as if to let them enjoy one another forever. It feels as though sparks are shooting out all over the place as their lips connect. Wait, those are sparks. Holy shit, there are actual sparks flying all around them. What the? Where the? What is going on here?
There's a gentle popping sound as the two separate. They slowly open their eyes and stare deep into the others soul. Smiles erupt on both of their faces, as they stare into each other. For a brief moment, they were truly one. The sparks emanating from them kissing disappears the second their lips separate.
"Thank you." Cat says in a dreamy voice. "You're welcome, Cat." Jade says with true happiness radiating from her. Cat has the largest, goofiest, yet most beautiful smile on her face, and so does Jade. This has got to be the most real smile Jade has ever formed. The only time Jade has ever felt truly happy.
Cat gets out of the Car and goes inside her home waving goodbye to Jade. Jade reciprocates her wave as she just sits there, enchanted by Cat's beauty. Jade has never felt true happiness until she met Cat. Fuck everything! Jade is going to be with Cat! She's not going to let her fear control her anymore! Cat will be hers forever!
Astounding. Truly astounding. There were actual sparks being created from them simply kissing. I don't know about you, but I find that truly astounding. I've never seen anything like it. There is definitely something special about these two. That's for sure.
When Cat gets inside her house, she goes straight to her room, closes the door, and leans back on it, sighing in relief. "That was amazing." She says to herself, with a huge grin plastered on her face. Cat giggles like a giddy child, squealing as she runs to her bed, drops her bags on the floor next to the bed and plows herself onto the bed. Cat rolls around on her covers ecstatically, her smile never leaving as she continues to go on happily like this for quite awhile.
Jade sits and listens as Cat happily rolls around on her bed. "Well, guess it's about time I leave." Jade says with a smile as she leaves Cat's house and drives home. When Jade gets home she goes straight to her room, closes the door, walks over to her bed and drops her bags onto of her sheets. Jade sighs happily as she walks over to her counter and prepares another drink. Below the drawer is a small mini fridge, which Jade opens and pulls out a one ounce container of blood. "Well, seeing as how this is a special occasion, I think it's only fitting, that I would drink real blood." She pours the blood into a glass, and holds the glass in her hand. As she holds it, the blood begins to heat up until it's at the perfect temperature. "Man, I love blood magic." Jade says happily to herself as she drinks from the glass. Yes, blood magic, that's what it's called when a vampire has the ability to manipulate and control any and all blood however they see fit. There has only been one other to posses this ability out of all vampires to exist. But that's a story for another time.
After Jade finishes her drink she goes over to her bed and sits down. She takes the box from the Build a Bear workshop and opens it. She pulls out Cats creation. It's a pink kitty cat similar to the one Cat gave Jade, except it's a build a bear cat. The cat is wearing a frilly red skirt, and colorful top. It's very simple, very Cat. Jade smiles as she looks down on it. She sniffs the stuffed toy and can still smell Cat on it from when she hugged it before putting it in the box. Cat always feels the need to hug things before giving them to Jade. Jade doesn't mind, since she can smell Cat on whatever Cat gives her.
Jade gently squeezes the toy to hear Cats message. As she does so, that sweet loving voice she'd recognize anywhere comes out. "Jade I want this message to mean something. So I'm going to speak directly from my heart." Cat takes in a loud breath before continuing "Jade. I don't care what anyone else thinks about you. I know who you are and I love everything about you. I wouldn't change a thing. I love how strong and confident you are. I also love how sweet and caring you are, and how you only show that side to me. You make me feel like I could fly." Cat giggles before continuing. "I don't know what I'd do without you, Jade. I don't even want to think about a world without you in it. You're the only one who understands me and truly loves me for who I am. And I wouldn't give that up for anything. And I don't ever want to lose you. You complete me, Jade. I love you. And I always will." Cat says happily as she makes a kissing sound into the recording. "Muah."
Jade smiles to herself. "Aww, Cat." Jade quietly says as she hugs the mini-Cat. Jade whispers "I will always love you too, Cat. Always." Jade changes into her PJ's and gets into bed, snuggling both the pink cats, Cat has given her. Around her neck, lies the other half of the heart necklace. Jade happily falls asleep, thinking about Cat. Whom she happily dreams about.
After burning off TONS of energy, Cat finally sits up on her bed and pulls her bags out. After rifling through them, she finally gets to the Build a Bear workshop container and pulls it onto her bed before opening it. She pulls out Jades creation and smiles while holding it up in the air. Jade made Cat a dark purple panther with a Dracula, themed outfit and fake fangs, to make it look like a vampire kitty. The outfit is black and red like you'd expect. Cat tightly hugs the toy and listens to Jades message.
Jades voice comes out hard and stern at first, before becoming soft and gentle, something she only does for Cat. "Cat. I want you to know, that when times get tough I'll always be there for you. I will ALWAYS protect you. Even though you don't need it. Even though you don't see it, you are the strongest person that I've ever known. And I truly admire that about you." Jade's voice goes from admiring to sincere and comforting. "Whenever you get sad or lonely and I can't physically be there for you, I want you to hold this doll tight and pretend it's me. Listen to my words and allow me to comfort you anyway I can."
Jade stops to take in a breath before gently singing "You know, the sun stops shining, when you start crying. And all the children of the world get sad, when you get mad. The world stops spinning when you stop grinning. And the world turns to bad. The only way to fix it is when you get happy, which makes me sappy. When you start laughing, the world turns to good again. The sun will rise and the world will spin, and the children will laugh again." Jade gently sings to Cat making Cat smile, a single tear drop escaping her eye. Jade continues "I will always be there for you. One way, or another." Jade pauses. Cat quietly asks "Promise?" and the recording continues as if Jade knew Cat would ask. "Promise." Cat smiles before Jade finishes her message. "I love you Cat. And I always will."
At this Cat begins crying tears of Joy as she hugs both the new mini-Jade doll and the green tiger doll as she lies on her bed. Cat falls asleep thinking of Jade, and listening to Jades message over and over again. Cat happily dreams of Jade all throughout the night. Her half of the heart necklace still around her neck.
A/N: So that's it for this chapter. I like this chapter. However even though their relationship shall continue to progress, things are going to get serious soon. Thank you to all of you that review. I really appreciate each and every one of your reviews.
