Cat's POV
Cat watched in amusement as the dark haired girl paced around the small rose colored bedroom. Jade had texted her late the night before asking that they meet as soon as possible. Cat had replied in her sleepy haze that she'd meet with her first thing in the morning. "You asked Tori out on a date. So what's the problem?" Here she was now watching her best friend panic. Jade was a complicated person. That was more than clear at this point. It had taken her long enough to see that she really didn't want to lose Tori. She rolled her eyes mentally as she remembered how it had taken the Goth to nearly lose the brunette before she came to her senses.
Cat had quietly left the girls alone to talk in the hallway once Jade had shown up. Secretly she had actually been surprised Jade listened to her. Deep down she had feared Tori was actually going to leave. She had feared that Jade was just going to sit back and watch her walk away. When she appeared in the hallway she wanted so much to shout, "Finally!" It took all her strength to swallow the urge and walk away to let the girls work out their problems. She was glad to see the outcome of it. Jade was back to her actual self. She didn't have that fake I hate Tori mask. Tori was glowing again. She was talking again and laughing, really laughing and no forced smiles. There were no more cold and empty bickering between the two girls. They were trying.
"I know it's not a big deal, it's just that...Crap!" Jade knitted her brows together in frustration.
"It'll be the first time we actually go out on a date since she told me she...and that I..."
Cat stood up from the bed and walked over to the girl. She grabbed the girl by her shoulders and held her firmly in place. "Jade, breathe. It's Tori we're talking about here. Why are you so anxious?"
Cat had been observing the pale girl's behavior since that encounter in the hallway. She could tell that Jade was putting the effort to make all up to the young Vega, but it also seemed like she was having a battle with herself. "What's really eating at you, Jade? I know you're glad to have Tori back but there's something else bothering you. What is it?"
Blue eyes seemed to be lost as they looked down at the red head. She broke the embrace and walked over to sit on the edge of the bed. "She knows I love her, Cat. That's not the problem. She loves me and I love her, but I'm just worried that we'll rush back into all of this and just wind up getting hurt." A frustrated wrinkle appeared across the dark brows.
Cat could see this was really affecting the girl. She rested her hand over the tight fist and sighed. "Jade, you two dated for six months and you've been slowly working on it for two weeks now. You're not rushing into anything. You're picking up where you left off. It's okay to be afraid, but you can't give up when it gets hard. That's what love is about. You have to make it through the good times andthe hard times together. As long as you're both trying you'll be alright." She smiled gently. "Don't let your rotten behavior get in the way of your true feelings." Jade tried to speak only to have the red head cut her off. "I know you feel guilty for the way you treated her, but if you keep dwelling over that you'll never be able to show her how much you truly love her."
Jade pursed her lips. She stared at the red head for a moment before mustering the right words to say. She chuckled and nodded. "Thanks, Cat for once you're actually right."
Cat raised a brow, "For once?"
Jade rolled her eyes, "Okay, fine. You were right. Happy? Yes you were right about me being in love with Tori."
Cat raised a brow expectantly.
Jade growled. "What? What else?"
Cat giggled and stood. "Jeez Jade you need to relax. You know you can literally cut through the tension between Tori and you."
Jade blushed. "Can it, Valentine!"
Cat smirked in amusement as it dawned on her. "Wait you and Tori have haven't you?" The answer was silently given as the pale girl's crimson cheeks darkened.
"Anyone who thinks you're an airhead is a complete idiot." Jade muttered as she stood. "Just drop it, Valentine. I didn't come here to have you banter on about my sex life! We've been going out for six months, okay." A mischievous smile grew along the pale girl's lips. "Speaking of tension, what's with those looks you and Shapiro exchange lately?
It was Cat's turn to blush. She pouted and looked around her room.
Jade smirked, "Ah, so I wasn't imaging you two leaving the janitor's closet together the other day."
Cat punched the pale girl's arm. "Okay, okay I get it. No more sex life mocking. Jeez, at least one of us is getting-"
"Cat," Jade warned.
The small redhead laughed in defeat. She had missed this Jade. Sure Cat was known for her clumsiness at school but Jade knew better than to believe the actress was really that much of an airhead. Cat had missed all the friendly bantering between her and the Goth. They'd always joke around but it seemed like Jade had been in a darker place in the past month. It just felt good to have her best friend back. "You and Tori will be fine, okay." Cat smiled reassuringly. "Now maybe it'll loosen you up if you get some." With that said the small red head ducked and ran out of the room as an annoyed Jade West chased after her.
This wasn't over. There was definitely something more eating at the girl. Jade West was a grudge holder. She wasn't going to allow this to go without any penance. Even if it meant she had to hold it against herself. Cat tried not to worry about it, she just hoped Jade would be able to see past it this time. For both her and Tori.
