Jade Pov

Today we get to take Tori home.

"Tori how about you stay with me while your folks find a new place. You can use my clothes for the time being, since we are about the same size." I told her.

"Jade are you sure you didn't inhale alot more smoke?" she asked.

"I'm sure. I owe you for helping me get out of my funk, and saving your life doesn't count in my book since it's a natural response." I told her.

"Not that you're letting stay with you. You called me Tori. You never call me Tori." she told me. Mentally I seized, but physically I remained very still. I had slipped.

"So what?" I said trying to shake it off like it was nothing.

"Whatever, can you help me get up?" she asked. I helped her stand up, her leg still alittle weak, and we headed outside to my car. I drovee straight to my house, which was a lot larger than anyone really knew. Beck had seen our home, but that was actually our small home for guests. I actually had my own house. This way, I could each keep to myself, and my adopted family could stay with each other.

Tori gasped in surprise at my house. It was a large two bedroom building, with two floor, a patio and balcony. Inside was completely black and green. The entire style was a mix of goth and theatre. I had two bedrooms, in the rare event I had a guest, a fully stocked kitchen that had only been used once by Cat, and a living room set up as a studio for small scene viewings. She really seemed to like it. She limped over to the black rose theme couch and sat down.

"Jade why don't we ever hang over your place?" she asked enthusiastically. I sighed deeply, knowing this was coming.

"Because I enjoy privacy, and because I would never let Robbie in my house. Anyway, you have the second bedroom." I pointed to the room on the left. it was mainly empty with a single full sized bed, tv and closet. I figured if anyone would ever be in there, it would be for a long period of time. Even though her parents got the money in another couple days, they wouldn't find a place for about another month or so. "You can decorate it anyway you want, as long as the decorations don't infect my space which means everything outside of that room."

She smiled brightly began moving to the room, and then turned to me. "What about clothes and school tomorrow?" she asked.

"You can where some of mine. I told you before since we are about the same size, and I'm driving you. Don't worry, your attendance will be kept perfect." I told her. I went into my room, grabbed some of my less dark clothes, and handed them to her so she could shower. Tori showering was definitely something I would love to see, but I would just have fantasize at night.

I left her to head to the shower. I sat down, turned on the tv to one of my dvr recordings, and heard her calling for me.

"Jade, I can't exactly do this. My leg. I can't stand for too long, and I need help since this is just a shower." she said. I turned beet red, but decided to do it. I went in to find her down to her bra and panties which were purple and simple. She stood there with the bar of soap in one hand, and her other on her leg. I sighed, feigning anger and helped her into the shower. She took the rest off, probably thinking since I was another girl it wouldn't be weird, and had me help her stand. I had to strip down to nothing as well, and stood in there, beet red, helping my secret love stand in the shower so she could clean herself.

I saw her body in full glory now. She had a very slender frame. She had small breasts with small nipples, and stood up perkily. Her legs shined with the water running of them, slim and beautiful. Her stomach was toned, yet still quite flat giving a show of both muscle and feminine physique. Her arms seemed to become much sleeker and softer in the water. Each feature magnified by the water and soap that now covered her body. She was gorgeus. Even more so than I had ever imagined. Her body so closely pressed against mine caused me to grow even wetter, but because of the running water, it went unnoticed.

After a half hour of scrubbing and helping her stand, and cleaning myself a little, we got out, and dressed. She looked really good in my clothes. A dark green bluse with a thin black sweater underneath. A black skirt with long green stockings on her legs, and her shoes that she wore from the day of the fire. I wore a simple thin read sweater and black jeans. I had on some sneakers since they fit nicely.

"Lose the shoes." I told her.

'Why?" she protested.

"They are burnt, beaten and a little melted. I'll just give you pair of mine when i was younger." I told her, grabbing a pair of size fives from my closet. They were simple sneakers, black and green sketchers.

"Thanks for all you've done Jade. I don't think I could ever repay you really." she said switching from the half emlted shoes to the sketchers.

"Well, just stay quiet at night and we'll be good." I told her, knowing she would not be.

That night, we went to bed pretty early, going into separate rooms. At one point though, I found two thin, soft arms wrap around me in the middle of the night, as a sleep walking Tori crawled into my bed with me. She was still pretty shaken up from the whole fire, and since I rather enjoyed her touch, I didn't protest. I went back to sleep, dreaming of a life with Tori that I so dearly desired.

Her and I sat infont of a theatre, waiting for a play to begin. We both wore a wedding band, and had on simple dresses. We watched as the curtain raised, and two darling little girls who I had always wanted to adopt with her, went on the stage and began performing. I felt Tori lean on my shoulder, crying happily. I heard her talk about how our little girls were so beautiful and talented. I saw that they looked so much like us, even though I knew they would have to be adopted. I would have loved them anyway. Despite how much I wanted this to be real, I knew it was nothing more than a dream. A dream i would always treasure until the day I die.

I woke up to find Tori had gone in the kitchen, gotten dressed in the same clothes, and was making my favorite kind of coffee, goth black blend. It had a deep bitter taste that would wake you up immediately, despite my reverse reaction to coffee. It mixed fairly well with sugar, and intesified the flavor of the cream when mixed in, but no matter how much you added, it still remained black. It was really delicious, and she even made it just how I liked it. One teaspoon of pure cream, and seven tablespoons of sugar.

I downed it slowly, enjoying it for the first time in a long time made just right. She made both of us some eggs and bacon as well. Girl was a heck of a cook. Another thing to admire about her. It was about 7:30 when we finished and headed out for school.

When we arrived, tthe school seemed a little shocked at Tori's clothes, but quickly shifted back to normal when I gave them the death glare. We headed for first period, which was Sikowitz. Everyone had been told about the fire, but noone otheer than our group seemed to really care about it. Sikowitz just went on teaching a sipping the damn coconut.

At lunch, things seemed to continue as normal, which was nice since neither of us wanted to talk about it. f course, robbie had to comment on clothing. Rather Rex did.

"So now there are two wicked witches of the west? 'Bout time you girls hooked up." Tori chucked her muffin at his head, sending him into the back into the parking lot. He was almost run over, but Robbie had to get him in time.

"Pervert!" Tori yelled, and she offered a high five. I indulged her, and she became even more cheery than normal.

"So Tori will be hanging at Jade's place for now?" Andre asked.

"Yup and it really shows alot about her character. Told ya she wasn't completely heartless." Beck answered. Beck and Andre went on to talk about some duet coming up soon for Sikowitz's class. Robbie was trying to fix Rex's jaw, while Cat was staring off blankly into space. Tori started just leaning on the table, watching the sky with Cat.

We left lunch, with the rest of the day being pretty normal, at least, normal for us. I went off, dealing with my mythology class, Math and script writing. I hated mythology, but I dealt with it ever since the whole incident. Still, after that, I at least had an easier time with the class when it came to greek stuff.

Afterwards, I met the others outside at the parking lot, and talked for a few minutes until we all headed home. Tori and I arrived, and she seriously needed a shower agian, since standing was really exhausting for her, and made her sweat excessively. I helped out again, and ended up hot and bothered again as well, but I held it in. Besides, it got me clean, and helpeed me imagine her later, although I didn't get alot of time to since she kept crawling into my bed everynight.

A month passed, and her parents got a new place. They came to come get her, but we all got a big surprise.

"Okay sweety time to go see our new home." her mom said as they came to ick her up.

"Come on honey we finally got a new home." Her dad said.

"Actually if it's okay with you guys and Jade, could I stay here with her?" She asked. We all stared at like she had another head suddenly. I would definitely say yes, but it was really up to her parents.

"Honey, do you really think your friend would be okay with you staying at hr house? Besides, all your new clothes you picked out are at the house." Her dad said.

"I'm okay with it. As long as she still does the dishes she can stay." I told them. That would at least keep up the idea that I only did this for myself. "I already know how to help her do certain things with her hurt leg. You guys don't need to worry, I'll take good care of her."

They seemed wary at first, but i think once the realized that they would have one less kid to deal with, and Trina moving out soon anyway, they quickly agreed and rushed back to their house to get her clothes, rushed back and gave them to us. They kissed her goodbye and went home.

She had picked out clothes just like the ones I had leant her, just a little brighter and more purple than green, and alot more skirts. I admired that, but when she came back she had an acussing look on her face, like I did something wrong or out of place.

"Okay albiet, why are you being so nice?" She asked in her serious, deeper tone.

"Just thinking that I should treat you better with everything that happened. You always help me when I needed it, so I'm returning the favor." I told her. She didn't seem to buy it, but left it alone, going back inside. Phew.
