Chap. 6

…

Jade looks about the room of her hangout spot, not believing what had occurred within the past 28 hours. It's weird how so much had changed in just the few days she had been back on earth.

Well the basic thing being that she is now able to communicate with Tori, which she never thought would ever happen…EVER. Then… trying to figure out how Tori is connected in any way to her, which Cat seems to encourage that theory completely.

She sighs to herself as she lounges further in her chair. Honestly she can't get how well yesterday went for her, considering she almost shitted her pants. Well…if she could shit her pants for one thing. She went from practically a full twenty-four hour stalker, to a scared chick, to the pleasant ghost that Tori got comfortable with in a short amount of time.

"That girl is all kinds of crazy", Jade says to herself with a smile.

Her eyes shut as she relaxes against the cushions of her chair. Her mind wraps around what happened last night with Tori.

…

Tori lies still against the mattress, her eyes never waver from the ceiling. Jade lying beside her (unbeknownst to Tori).

Tori hums for a little bit, bringing a smile to Jade's face. The Goth never once took her eyes off the beautiful half Latina as she looked about her room. Tori turns slowly to her side, 'staring' at Jade.

"What were you like in school?"

Jade looks at her with a 'are kidding me' face. Tori closes her eyes in embrassment as if she senses Jade's thoughts.

"Sorry…um…were you a sweetheart? In school I mean?", Tori rephrased.

Jade chuckled a little at her question.

"Oh how wrong you are on that one my dear", she thought to herself.

One knock.

Tori's eyebrow roused slightly while looking in the spot that Jade resided in.

"Oh dear. Ok…were you a rebel?"

Two knocks.

Tori smiles upon hearing the two knocks.

"A rebel huh? Interesting", she mumbled.

Jade grinned back at her and moved herself a little closer.

"Ok since you were a rebel, does that mean you were the schools troublemaker?"

Three knocks.

Tori grinned more, moving back onto her back. She lost herself for a moment going about her memories for anyone that had caused much mischief throughout Hollywood Arts. Meanwhile Jade found herself looking more closely at the Latina.

There was a small beauty mark beneath her cheek that made her face look more gorgeous. Her curly chocolate hair made Jade want to thread her fingers through it. Almost picturing how soft those curls were.

Tori found herself lost in brief memory. Once there was this girl who had gotten into trouble for beating up some kid named Drew. Well…he did deserve it considering he tortured whomever he set his eyes on. Hell there were occasions where Drew would constantly stalk Tori. Always hoping she'd say yes to going on a date with him.

Tori smiled a little at the memory before turning her head.

"You know I think I remember something of you…", she began.

Jade look at her with a smile. She waits patiently for her to continue her thought. She moves her fingers over to half- Latina's hair expecting her fingers to go through her curls.

"Wow her hair is so soft. It's almost like…wait soft…", Jade processed slowly.

The smile drops from Jade's face as she looks to her fingers in mild surprise. Whatever Tori was going to say didn't come as she looked over to 'Jade'. Both girls thoughts going in a world wind of things. Jade stayed frozen where she laid, expecting Tori to legit back away from her this time. Maybe even forget about her for a while.

But no, Tori continued to surprise her as she moved closer. Her head connecting with where she believed Jade's hand resided at. A smile made its way onto her face as she relaxed further against the softness of her sheets and mattress.

Jade shook her head to herself, feeling a slight tinkle of wetness on her cheek. She brushed her thumb over her cheek and discovered that a tear escaped. She looks back at the beautiful girl beside. Giving another soft smile as she realized how drowsy Tori was becoming.

With her fingers, she brushed against the Tori's curls. Once again feeling the softness to them. She watches as Tori's eyes close and her body relaxes further into the sheets.

"Why do you bother with me?", Jade says outloud.

"Because…I find you interesting", Tori mumbles letting sleep finally take over her.

Jade stops her ministrations and looks to the girl again with surprise.

"She heard me?!"

"She fucking heard me. What the….?! I have to get out of here!"

…

Jade opens her eyes to find herself again amongst the comforts of her hideout. She looks distant as she ponders about everything.

"How the hell was she able to hear me?", Jade puzzled to herself.

"Simply because you're letting her hear you", Cat replied back.

Jade jumped in her seat. She turned and glared at the redhead.

"Can you atleast give me a heads up when you appear next time?", Jade growled.

Cat merely smiled and gave a simple nod. The redhead leaned herself back against the cushion of the chair she sat upon. Jade looked to her with a raised eyebrow before shaking her head.

"You really are something else", Jade says.

Cat shrugs her shoulders briefly, her smile never leaving her face.

"So I take it that last night went well?", Cat asks with a small twinkle in her eye.

Jade immediately thinks of Tori and smiles.

"Yea last night went very wel…wa...hey how do you know about last night?", Jade demanded looking at the redhead with a mock glare.

Cat giggled innocently, moving back and forth in the seat. Jade looked to the redhead with slight confusion and wonder.

"Oh I just know", replied the bubbly redhead.

Jade rolls her eyes. Slowly getting frustrated with the girl.

"Ok whatever. Anyways what were you talking out before", Jade asks going back on track.

"I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking me", Cat responds back.

Jade growls in annoyance, rubbing her hands over her face.

"You said something in response to my question as to why Tori could hear me last night. What was it?"

Cat's smile widens further as she looks away from Jade and around the hideout.

"You know that past couple of times I've visited you here I've never gotten the chance to check this place out", Cat says changing the subject.

Jade glares intensely at Cat wanting nothing more than to strangle the poor girl. The fact that Cat knows the answers that she seeks after just makes her angry more than ever.

Cat shivers as she hears the growl emitted from the Goth beside her. She slowly turns and makes eye contact with intense dark blue eyes. She holds back a gasp as she legit sees steam come from Jade's ears.

"Are you fucking kidding me!", Jade screams.

Cat moves further into her chair as the Goth slowly gets up.

"What", Cat says back in a childish voice.

Jade smacks her hand to her face. She turns and kicks her chair, knocking it to the ground. A small eek emits from Cat. Jade turns and calms slowly as she takes notice of the fear from Cats eyes.

She sighs as she turns and picks her chair up from the floor. Once it was in place, she sat back down and looked back at the girl before her.

"Why?"

Cat moved her arm away from her face and looked carefully to Jade.

"Why what?"

"Why do you keep doing this to me?! Every single time something happens, you tell me something and then shut down before I can get any form of answer from you", Jade says looking up at Cat.

Cat gasps as she sees the tears fall from Jade's eyes.

"I just want to know why I died, ok. Why is Tori involved? Why can she hear me now? Why to everything?", Jade cries.

Cat stands and makes her way over to Jade. With slight hesitation, she leans over and pulls the Goth into a hug.

Jade cries harder upon feeling Cat's arms.
