A/N: Heyyyyyy I'm back and drawling? LOL Anyway you know what this is by now and requests are welcome. I don't mind, any pairing, challenge me. This one is for my BFF, who is a HUGE Bori shipper so Penny, this one's for you. By the way, I don't own Victorious or any of the songs mentioned.
Chapter 3: Maybe.
The stage kiss. The hidden looks. The soft smiles. The almost kiss (twice). The opposite date. The offering of his sandwich. The hugs. The way he stood up for her. Tori wondered sometimes if it was meant to be. Maybe. The texting where they would spell words wrong on purpose laughing when the other corrected them, pretending to be cross. And the way their eyes meet. Maybe this was it.
He enjoyed it as much as she did, but he knew she thought it was wrong. Jade wouldn't care; he argued with her, she walked out. But you didn't open the door she points out and you know she's right. But for once you want her to be wrong, because its suits you better. It makes you happy, pretending she's yours. And there's nothing stopping you.
And maybe it wasn't. Because there was Jade. In the middle of it all. His ex, her sort of friend. All she wanted was for everyone to be happy. But what about her? He wanted her, she'd never tell, secretly she wanted him as well. How cliché were they. Avril Lavigne had a line in a song that fitted them perfectly. But did it mean as much to him. That was the problem. Did he really want her? Or was just messing around, trying to make Jade jealous and upset? Because if he was, when she was a fool, always chasing the soles of his shoes. Hahahaha FOOL. Shakira had described it well.
He'd listen to songs about love, they made him think about her and he'd be happy enough to face school but once he sees her, his dream dies because she sees him as forbidden. But she kissed Moose you cry, frustrated. She likes Canadian boys she whispers sadly and then you're yelling at her, telling her if she loved him she go for it and the next thing you know she's in tears running out the door and away from you. Once you know she's gone and you're alone, you let the tears come. Because it hurts, that feeling that you're about to lose her for good. Because she deserves better than you. But you'll always love her.
He'd call her in the middle of the night, tell her all his secrets but still she wondered if it was all a lie, to suck her in his fantasy world, where everything's perfect. But she has her own world. She's with him there and Jade is happy and always wishes them the best. But you can't date a friend's ex-boyfriend, their off limits. It's like the rules, OF GIRL CODE. She can't break them. Because she's Tori Vega. And she'll just have to keep all of her feelings hidden.
He's heard of the girl code, she's told him about it so many times, he thinks it's daft and wonders what happened to moving on. And that's the moment he knows she can never be his, not while Jade's around. So he waits for her to give in to love. She never does. Until one day, she's banging on the door after another boyfriend bites the dust and you hold her as she sobs telling you that she know that you're the one and then you're kissing, just as Jade comes in, yet she smiles and wishes you the best and you have to hug her.
A/N: Three updates today! Wow! How do you like this one? I'm not sure as it was a bit different from anything I've done before
