Man Three chapters are in the books and here's another one for you guys. First off I would like to give a shout out to the two winners of the Mystery Informant poll. Congratulations to Twihard44 and Kharress who guessed Trina Vega as the mystery informant. You both can now choose which pairing gets their own one-shot filled with lemony goodness lol. To those who participated, there will be more constests like this so do not fret none about missing this one.
Now back to the story so far, Im sure youre all wondering what's going to happen now that Travis and Jade know about the scheme laid out against them by their 'friends'. And what's going to happen to Hunter and Cat? What's going on with Anthony and Liza? Well wonder no more because here are your answers!
Chapter 4: Perfection
Travis kiss her...
Travis Felix Thomas, Jade's best friend since forever, currently had his lips on hers.
Jade stood there frozen in place as her lips were pressed against her best friend's. She didnt know how to react due to the sparks welling up inside her. Travis had just pulled away and his brown cheeks were a slight pink. His heart was pounding under his ribcage as he tried to read the goths face. Trina was staring wide-eyed at the act committed in front of her. The silence was tense, the moment was now over, and the akwardness began to well up within each of the three.
"Y-you. Just kissed m-me..." she pressed her ivory fingers to her lips. Her usually icy gaze was now naturally unreadable which only made Travis and even Trina more nervous than before.
"Jade I- I didnt mean to. I just-"
He couldnt complete his apology because now it was Jade West who literally leaped into his arms and smashed her lips into his. Travis expertly caught her but that didnt mean he was prepared for this. He had loved his gothic best friend since the moment they met but he kept his feelings in check so that he wouldnt ruin the awesome friendship they had established. His body was on auto-pilot now as he stroked her back lovingly and returned the kiss with even greater force than the first time. The only thing that could ruin this moment was the mock coughing of one Trina Vega who he honestly had forgotten was still in the room only a few feet away.
"Sorry to interupt but I gotta get going..." The buxom beauty smiled softly. "...I have to meet someone for...yeah"
Turning around she felt a pair of hands grab both shoulders. One was an ebony colored while the other was pale.
"Thank you, Trina..." Jade whispered as she hugged the no longer mystery informant. "You're not so bad after all."
Travis walked up to Trina and hugged her too.
"Yeah, had you not told us what was going on, who knows what wouldve happened between us."
Trina blushed but shrugged.
"It was nothing-"
"No, its not." Jade looked serious now. "Had you not told us, we wouldve fell victim to whatever our 'bestfriends' had cooked up for us."
"Right. Though I have no issue with it, Im not gay and I dont think Jade here is interested in girls." Travis chuckled recieving a playfull slap to the chest.
Trina giggled at their antics then left the two alone in the now vacant Black Box Theatre. Jade turned back to her friend with a look of concern and wonder.
"So..." she bit her bottom lip. "Where does this leave us?"
Travis knew Jade and he knew what she's been through during the many years they've known one another. Jade has been the butt of jokes, teased, ridiculed by family and 'friends', and even though Beck was a nice guy, she was hurt by him as well. He knew that she deserved to have true happiness. Lifting her chin, he smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Whatever you want us to be..." he could see the twinkle in her eyes and the genuine grin form on her lips. "...How about you crash at my place tonight and then we can truly know each other."
Jade's eyes widened as her grin shifted into a smirk.
"You naughty dog." she kissed his soft lips and began to walk out of the theatre. "I have advanced dance next hour then I'll see you at my house so you can pick me up."
"It's a date."
As the door closed Travis's thoughts drifted to everything that had just occured in the past half hour. Trina Vega giving him the heads up about Racheal, and Tyler. Kissing Jade. Jade kissing him back...
'Man can this day get any better?' he wondered when suddenly his pear phone beeped. He saw a link that led to Jade's Slap page. Clicking the link, he saw the answer to his question.
Jade West: In a Relationship
Just had the most wonderful experience, with the most wonderful guy!
Status: Perfect :)
About 30 minutes later, Jade's phone vibrated during class in her book bag. Once she got dressed, she checked it to see a link to a familiar Slap page. Checking it, she put her hand over her mouth and gasped in delight at what she saw.
Travis Thomas: In a Relationship
Just loving my perfect dark angel! Cant wait for the kickback...
Status: Wonderful ;)
She put her phone away and smiled before joining the other students in her class.
'He called me perfect.' she mused herself mentally.
Unfortunately, two others were currently glaring at the newly posted updates on the Slap.
Marni Chatner...
The current school President.
Straight A student and stand out actress.
She gave off the appearance that she had no flaws. But there is one...
She is love with her bestfriend's boyfriend.
"Tori!" she yelled out as she dashed toward the slender brunnette.
Tori knew that Marni had a thing for her guy but she also knew that Marni wasnt the type to boyfriend steal. She was a princess who never really acted like a jerk, nor was she the type to ruin a friendship over a guy.
"Hey, Marni. What's up?"
Closing her locker, Tori smiled flaunting her perfect cheekbones.
"Are you helping with the Kickback decorations? I could really use the help since its in two days..." Marni looked a little disappointed but did her best to hide it.
Shifting her gaze towards anywhere but at Marni's pouty face, Tori tried to think of an excuse as to why she couldnt help out.
"Im sorry, I would really like to but you see, Beck and I have a date tonight and I-"
Marni's face lit up. "Why not bring him with you? It's right afterschool and afterwards you two can have your dream night!"
'Why did I bring his name up?' the Latina mentally slapped herself as she felt herself being pulled by a now gleeful Marni.
The sun was finally setting over the Hollywood horizon. Anthony and Liza were walking though the park hand in hand chatting about what was going on while they were apart.
"So you came to Hollywood Arts because youre parents didnt want you to be in a traditional public school?" Liza smirked playfully.
Anthony was extremely emberrased.
"Yeah, well she felt I was too precious to be around gang bangers and loose girls." he rubbed the back of his head.
"Specifically Northridge girls?" she playfully scolded earning an even brighter blush and knew that he would die from the blood rushing to his cheeks.
"A-anyways... What have you been up to?"
Suddenly the evening air took a shift. It was no longer warm and bubbly, it was now cold and chilly but he knew it wasnt the atmosphere itself. Looking over to his right, he noticed Liza's face twist in a sorrowful frown.
"Hey, are you okay, Liza?" she shook her head no. "Look if you dont want to talk about it we can do something else."
But the damage was done. Liza latched onto Anthony as if she was drowning and he was her life preserver. Unknowingly to him though was the conversation inside of her head.
Ugly.
Stupid...
Unworthy...
"Stop it..." she whispered amidst the tears streaming streaming down her face.
"Stop what?" Anthony held her close trying to figure out what was going on.
Kill yourself!
You disgusting creature!
YOU'RE WORTHLESS!
DIE!
The next thing she knew, she was engulfed in darkness. Soothing darkness where she finally found solace and peace. Here there were no voices in her head no detrimental thoughts. No Pain...
Then it hit her...
"Liza?"
Another voice rang in her ears tearing her away from her desired slumber. She begrudgingly opened her eyes seeing only a blurred image of someone holding her.
"Liza? Wake up, please?"
It was getting louder but now she could make out the face.
"Anthony?"
During the night, Travis had finally pulled up to the West's Manor after work. He always hated coming here... No it wasnt because the family was rich. It wasnt even because the family disliked his style of clothing. (Although he is a respectable gentleman outside of his friends.) No it was because he was deemed unacceptable because of he didnt have what they had.
He didnt own a bentley, nor did he have a vacation home in Hawaii. But all of that could and would be explained tonight and probably much sooner when he heard the slamming of the front door to the mansion. An irate Jade was stomping towards his Green and Black Mustang with some suitcases and a new founded fury. He didnt know whether to let it ride or prod her for answers. She quickly entered the vehicle and instructed him to drive off.
It didnt take long for them to reach his apartment. He unpacked her things quickly, hoping to find out what made her so mad. Once everything was put away, he turned to ask her what was going on when she crashed her lips onto his in intense passion. Falling back, it took everything in Travis not to claim her right then and there. He flipped her over and reluctantly stood up with his arms folded.
"Alright... Talk." he sternly asked.
In the midst of her bedroom eyes his face never changed from its stern gaze. She wanted to give him an 'I dont know what youre talking about' face but knew that he wasnt buying it. She let out a soft breath then sat up and her true feelings began to pour out.
"Look, my dad was upset at me about us dating..." she casually stated. "...He said you were worse than Beck and that I deserved a man who's can afford to live anywhere other than a two-bit shack on the other side of town. He threatened to take away my trust fund and kick me out of the house."
Travis knew what this was doing to her. She cared about him so much yet never knew the extent that she felt about him.
"So I told him to take his trust fund and shove it up his ass." she smirked at him.
Travis's jaw dropped at what he had just heard. He never thought that Jade would give up her plushy lifestyle for...this...
"Jade, I have no idea what goes on in your head." was all he could get out before she herself stood to her feet as dropped her skirt combo onto his bedroom floor. With a playful snarl she twirled her green streak and bit her bottom lip in lust.
"Maybe you can find out..."
Removing his shirt, she placed kisses onto his chest and traveled down to his well crafted abs. She then placed her lips onto his wrapping her arms around his neck. When he placed his hands on her side she felt... right. She felt for the first time in her life, truly perfect...
Okay well for starters lets clear the air with a lot of things. 1. There is no lemon in this chapter... :( sorry... 2. I want to keep some form of suspense with Lizanthony (Liz & Anthony), I also am keeping the story elements a certain way due to I am writing their scenario's in real life and I already have Trade (Travis & Jade) story already written out in full. So the other plots will be introduced in the next chapter and the secret that Travis has been hiding will be revealed in full details.
I also would like to thank the fans of this for your support of this fic. And I will make an alternate ending to each plot so let me know what you expect (from the current chapters) the endings to be. Trust me oh and if there are any Beta writers I would love to work with you on this and many other fictions related to Victorious
I apologize if any OC's are being used as current antagonists right now but what's drama without a bad guy/girl and trust me when I tell you the kickback is only the beginning. Let me know what themes you would like to see in this fic (group dates, halloween party, christmas, even sexual encounters. and I will be taking requests for AU (Alternate Universe "what if") one shots related to this story like any pairings, any type of encounters, and what you hope to see. If its supposed to be in the original storyline ill put it in asap but if its not a part of the original design then I will make a one-shot about it as soon as I can...
Thank you all for the love and support of this author and story!
