A/N: Chapter 6! I never actually thought I'd get this far haha.

Thanks for reading. BTW this chapter is back to Cat's POV

So, it has been a week since Tori supposedly talked to Jade, as far as I'm concerned. I was really scared at the thought of it at first, but then again it could help things between Jade and I. Nothing has happened yet, so I'm not sure if Jade even listened to , Jade hates Tori, so now I really don't think Jade even listened.

I should have expected this though, if she didn't listen to me, I don't even know why I would think she would listen to Tori. I think it's okay though, I need to get over Jade anyway.

I'm walking to class when I see Tori at her locker "Hi Tori!" I say, noticing she's doing her eyeliner, and my greeting just made her smear it. "Sorry." I say, half giggling.

"Very funny Cat," she says, now wiping her eye. "Whatcha' need?"

I smile at her "So... I have a question."

"Shoot."

I begin "So... Uh what did Jade say when you talked her?"

Tori then put her make up in her locker and quickly closed it shut. "Well uh... You see, I've got to go." she then began to walk away very quickly.

"Hey, Hey Tori! Tell me!" I yelled out to her but it was too late, she had already left to her class. Just this brought my spirits down considering she just left without telling me what happened. I ended up just walking to class, hopeful that this day would be over quickly.

Once class ended, I walked to my locker, opened it, only to find a note.

Hey. Meet me after school by the bench near the back of the school. I need to talk to you, it's pretty important.

-Jade

P.S. Don't keep me waiting.

After reading this, my heart began to beat ridiculously fast and my knees went limp again. I fell towards the front of my locker, leaning on it for support. Why would she want to talk to me? I thought she didn't want to talk to me, and that she needed more time to herself. Still, it makes my heart flutter to know that she wants to talk to me after what has happened between us these past few weeks.

The bell to next class rings shortly after I read the note, and I find myself walking as fast as I could to class. It couldn't have been any slower though. Have you noticed that when you're waiting for something, the clock goes so much slower? Nevertheless, it ended, and lunch came with it.

I made my way with my lunch to the usual table, and sit down as everyone began to sit around me. Tori however, was very hesitant to sit down and gave me sympathetic looks as she sat down in front of me. "Sorry..." she says, picking at her food.

"'Bout what" André says almost inaudibly mostly because he's scarfing down food.

"Oh... It's nothing, just this thing... I was treating Cat kind of bad this morning." Tori says, still looking at me.

"it's okay." I say, smiling.

"ooh, do I sense a better mood?" Tori says, eating her salad.

I motion her towards me and she leans across the table towards me, and I whisper "Well, someone left a note in my locker saying that I should meet them after school."

"Who's meeting you after school, do I know him, and can I beat him up?" Robbie says leaning in to hear what I was saying. Tori then moved back and flicked his nose. "Ow! Tori!" Robbie shrieked, rubbing his nose.

"That's what you get for being nose-y!" Rex then says looking at Robbie "Get it? Nose-y? She flicked his nose man!"

"Shut up Rex!" Robbie said, still holding his nose.

Tori gave both Rex and Robbie a weird look, then turned to me and said "No way! That's awesome, I'm so happy for you!"

"Mmhm." I said, happily.

Just after I said that, a very distressed looking Beck takes a seat at our table. "what's up man? Haven't seen you here in a while." says André, almost relieved to see one of his best friends at the table again. "where's your girl?"

His girl, Jade... Just the thought of her makes my heart want to burst out of my chest. A voice however breaks my thoughts "Oh, Jade? Uh.. It just wasn't really working out. We broke up." Hearing this literally made my heart stop. Beck and Jade... Broke up/! I know it's kind of mean, but I am a little more hopeful than before about the talk we might be having later.

"Sorry bud..." André says patting his back.

Tori and I however are the only ones in the group who were quieter about the news. I mean Beck's a great guy, don't get me wrong, it's just he's had Jade for so long. I do notice though, he gives Tori this suggestive look when the bell rings, just as everyone is gathering their things. I end up grabbing Tori's arm as everyone else leaves. "Is there something... Y'know... Going on between you two?" I ask, curious as to what she's about to say.

"I'll tell you later." is all she says as we walk to our last class, which is Sikowitz's class. I also couldn't help but notice Jade was missing.

The last class feels like a lifetime as we do several acting exercises and improv situations. My thoughts drifting throughout the entire class time. I am practically nudged by Tori to go up and do some mindless improv. I actually don't mind it though because there, you can say and do things, and nobody will question you for it, it's improv. After acting a little bit, and another student comes up to act, I notice yet again, Beck is giving Tori another one of those looks. Now I'm curious, but not as curious as what's to happen after school today.

The bell rings slowly after the girl's improv, which I'm partially freaked out, and partially nervous about. Tori walks up next to me and says "Good luck" She walks out near the direction to her locker.

"Bye! And thank you!" I yell out as a response.

I make my way to my locker and hug the note that was given to me the second I get my locker open. I practically slam my locker shut and make my way towards the benches near the back of the school. I couldn't help but notice the figure coming into view. It's Jade, I know because my heart is skipping beats.

When I finally get there, Jade is waiting for me. She's actually looking at me though, not through me, not away from me. I feel my cheeks getting hot from the attention. "Hi..." I say despite the awkward tension.

"You came."

"Of course I would, why wouldn't I have?" I say honestly.

"Well, I don't know, after all this stupid drama, I wasn't really sure if you still cared or not." she says, looking down at the pavement. I can tell right now that she's nervous, but, so am I.

"Why would you say that? Of course I care." I say, rubbing my burning cheeks.

"Because, I've been treating you like shit!" she's almost yelling now, "And no matter how much times you came back, I shunned you out, like you didn't even matter to me." Jade looks at me "I treated you like shit, and I'm... I'm sorry for it."

Wait a minute... Jade apologized? "Yeah, but, you had a reason to." I say, with all the insecurities coming back now.

"Cat... You can't help the way you feel, no matter how much you try and stop it. Heck, you don't even know how much I tried."

"Huh?" I'm confused. "Tried what?"

"Y'know..." she starts trailing off. "I've tried to forget what we were, and what we had together. But... I couldn't. You mean too much to me I guess, and as cheesy as it sounds, it's true." it's now that I realize how sincere she's being. I know how hard it is for Jade to show a lot of emotions, and it makes my heart beat faster to know that I made her act like this.

"Could we maybe... Try... At us?" she says, gesturing between us again.

"You like me..?"

"Well... Yeah... It just took me until now to accept it, I guess." she says, rubbing her hands together for warmth. I, on the other hand, can't feel how cold it is, considering the only thing I can feel is the heart in my chest.

"I'd... Like to try too"

"Hey, come here" she says, pulling me into a warm hug. "Cat." she says, looking down towards me. "hm?" I say in a muffled response. "I've missed this. Just moments like this between us." she chuckles, half smiling at me a well.

"Me too. More than you know" I say, still holding onto her. After that, we stand in a comfortable silence, as the wind blows around us. Right at that moment, it seems like we are the only ones on Earth. I still have one question though "Where do we go from here?"

"Well... Whatever happens, happens." she says, poking my nose.

I laugh "Can I kiss you, right now?" Jade doesn't say any thing, which freaks me out. "look.. If it's too soon, I-" She breaks me off with a kiss. I wasn't expecting it at first, but I start to kiss back. Her lips feel perfectly molded towards mine, and I think that's what keeps the kiss lingering. We break it off, and we are somewhat breathless. "Jade..."

She winks "Hey, we've got a lot of catching up to do."

"Jade!" I say, slapping her shoulder. "I should probably get home."

"Yeah... But I will see you tomorrow okay?" she says, giving me one quick kiss before I make my way home.

It's now I realize that time held everything, I just had to wait for it. I'm really looking forward to what the future may have for our relationship, and what we truly may become. I already miss the feel of her, and her around me. And it's at this moment I know that reality doesn't suck as much as I thought it did, I just needed to be patient.

Reality really doesn't suck.

A/N: woo! You wouldn't believe how long this took to write. I really hope you guys like it, and hey, you have to admit this is pretty long. Don't worry! It's not over! I do plan on updating this with another chapter that might Lead into different parts of their relationship, like when they tell the rest of their friends, or just fluff moments. If you were not worrying, Well... Please tell me what you think, review, and I'll give you cookies, or more fanfictions or something haha.

Good day!
