A/N: Short chapter... but you almost didn't get it so be happy! I am so sorry about all of my stories last week I under estimated how busy I would be on Thanksgiving. But you know I just couldn't pass up on updating Her. It is really short I am sorry but this is just a partial resolution to the problem. Jade still has a lot to deal with emotionally. Tori needs to meet Carla and not be totally jealous of her so that Jade can keep her friend cause I like her. There is a ton of narrative in this chapter. Sorry about that. There is a lot of friendship YAY. I just hope you like it. Enjoy.

They all took turns to be with me. I was never alone. not once. I think they were afraid I'd kill myself. Beck stayed the night with me. and he would hold me talk to me. Andre walk to classes with me since we were in the same grad school. Totally different programs, but the same. Cat Stayed with me on the set of my student film. Though that may have been for selfish reasons. she got to be in a couple of scenes. Robbie ate lunch with me. Which was cool I started to like him better after he had sold Rex. Trina would text with me all day. Even Michelle made sure I ate breakfast and dinner.

One morning I left before either she and Beck woke up. I didn't disturb anyone I didn't feel like eating. she showed up in class with me that day and plopped a yogurt a spoon and a banana in front of me. "Eat it." she said. She was still mad at me, but… she actually loved me.

I sighed and started to eat. I needed to move on from that idiot that was willing to marry a brute. but I missed my best friend. Maybe we could be friends again. Often I found myself picking up my phone to call her. then changing my mind and sticking that phone right back in my pocket. She loves him is what she said. She loves him. She doesn't love him but she's Tori and she's stupid.

I met Andre after class and he started to babble a while. I grew tired of it and stopped short and allowed him to walk a few steps ahead. Then I turned to go the whole other direction. I don't want company. I walked straight to my car and drove to an address I had only been to once. When I knocked on Carla's door, she looked like she was just napping. "Did I wake you?"

"Yeah, thanks I have a one o'clock class and I overslept on my morning class…" she stopped to look at me for a second and opened the door wider. "Can I just stay here?"

"Sure." Carla said. "help yourself to anything in the fridge okay?" She ran off to get dressed. I could see the hesitation in her to leave me here in her studio apartment alone. But she knew some of what was happening from what I had told her that night. She didn't have to worry though I wasn't going to move from her futon. I just needed to be alone.

I stayed in Carla's apartment till the next day. My phone had long died. Carla forced me to eat when she got in that evening and saw that I hadn't touched anything including her fridge. "Did you call anyone?" she asked.

I shook my head. "Fuck, Jade…"

"I needed to be alone."

"You need to call someone. Tell them you are okay so they aren't scouring the city looking for you."

I took her phone from her hand and dialed Cat. "Hello?"

"Cat… tell them all I'm fine." was all I said.

"KK… Jade says she's fine." Cat repeated.

"Let me talk to her." I heard another voice on the other side.

"Cat Listen, don't give her the phone."

"No. She doesn't want to talk to you." Cat said to Tori.

"Jade Please come back!" Tori shouted on the other end.

"Owie." Cat said. I am so sure she covered her ears. I didn't want to hear anymore so I hung up and handed Carla her phone.

"Done." I answered.

"No offense Jade, but you stink." Carla said. "You should go shower. Freshen up you might feel better."

"I don't want to feel better."

"Why are you still this broken up over this?" she asked.

"She told me she loved- loves me. but she can't trust me to stay." I answered.

"That's fucked up." she answered "But she kind of has a point."

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"Look at where you are Jade. She doesn't know where you are. You ran away from her."

"She doesn't need me. She has Mike." I said.

"She loves you though."

I sighed. "She's getting married on Saturday. To him."

Carla sat next to me. she got a text message and read it. It was long and her mouth formed a grim line. "You should go to that wedding and make that man compete with you. Make her look at you and no one else. If she loves you she won't go through with it. Just go. Fight for her please."

I went home that night. Late so that I didn't wake Michelle. I slipped into my bed and I slept. I woke up with the sun blaring in my eyes on Saturday morning. Carla was right. I needed to give it one more try. I needed to fight for her. I looked at the time. The wedding was in two hours. I was gonna shower, dress and be the hottest person in that place. She was going to know I was there for her. I was in her corner and I would never EVER leave. i'd take a break but I won't leave.

I rushed through it. Making sure my hair and makeup were flawless. I put on the Black Tux Two piece that Tori had chosen for her Maid of Honor to wear. There were just going to be two today I suppose. But I looked hot with the silken black blouse whose neckline plunged almost down to my navel exposing a great expanse of my chest. It was super sexy and ultra classic. I shrugged on my tux Jacket, and a long sheer black skirt. With my studded booty. My hair was up in a classic twist exposing my neck and I wore the earrings we had picked together that we said we would wear again when we received our first awards for our craft.

I grabbed my clutch and headed out to the venue of this wedding. Everyone was inside. No one was milling around in the lobby. I looked at my watch, I was ten minutes late. God knows how long this wedding had been going on. I couldn't object dramatically like I wanted. "Fuck."

I opened the doors to the hall and everyone stood and Andre started to play the wedding march. I looked behind me, then ahead of me and Tori stood there in a matching white tux. I blinked and walked toward her. What the fuck was going on here? "Jade…" Tori said once I got close enough to see the half relief half shock in her eyes.

"What is going on Tori?" I asked.

She dropped down on her knees and took my hand. "I need you. I broke up with him that night, I just couldn't I didn't even believe what I was saying to you myself. I called and called but you didn't answer. So I planned this… because maybe I thought you would be a better friend to me than I had been to you and come anyway." Tori sighed. "I love you. I want you to marry me."

I didn't know I was crying until a tear splashed down on our joined hands. I let out a sob. I was hell bent on breaking them up I was ready for a fight. This sob was one of relief, and happiness and anger. "Right now?" I asked. I started to laugh through my tears. This whole thing was a little over the top. Just like my Lucy.

She nodded. I laughed harder. "Yes Lucy, I'll marry you. Right now."

with that my pregnant wife to be jumped up and wrapped her arms around me. She kissed me and held me like she never wanted to let go. "Thank you." she said her voice registering major relief. "I love you so much."

"I love you too." I answered. I know, just like that? yes just like that. You know what I am feeling. It's like it is a Black Friday Sale, and the deal is take it now! I didn't know if this was the biggest mistake of my life. But I am impulsive. I have never been one to follow the rules. I'll marry her now. she is mine. I can forgive her later. We only have now. Tomorrow, to quote the bible, is not promised to us. Yeah I know the bible? well It's got some really good ideas in it. And this… this is one to live by.

I married my love That afternoon. Surrounded by our friends, and I looked out and saw our families there. In a way, it spared me the trauma of having to do it all again later. So I smiled and walked off to my reception with my new bride.
