I bring you Chapter nine, so in the last time Jade discovered that she had feelings for Tori. Wanna say thank you to my beta reader Five Pies To The Face, you're awesome for correcting my mistakes.

Disclaimer- I own nothing.

My hand wasn't broken, thank god. I definitely wasn't in the mood to go the hospital. I drove back to Tori's house, not wanting her to worry about where I was. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I actually like Tori, even though it isn't hard not to. I mean, she is amazing. But I can't do anything with these feelings. I can't act on them. Like Cat said, 'Tori comes first' and it's true; she does. I had to be there for her as friend, not as the girl who has a massive crush on the brunette. I sighed, running my injured hand through my hair as I stopped my car in Tori's empty driveway. I frowned. I really had to talk to her about how her house always seems empty.

I shoved my hand in my pocket, hoping that Tori doesn't see it, and walked into her house. The house was quiet, and not the comforting kind either. I shut the door silently behind me, in case Tori was still asleep. I let my gaze wander across the living room, seeing the sofa that was still a mess from when Tori and I were lying on it yesterday, the empty glasses were still left on the coffee table and there was still a still half eaten bowl of popcorn left. I smiled, going back to the memory of last night.

"I can't believe I'm watching this," I mumbled under my breath as Tori placed the Little Mermaid in the DVD player. She turned around and gave me a grin before sitting down beside me.

"Ssh," She said, picking up the DVD remote "A little kitty told me how the only films you will ever willingly watch that isn't a horror is a Disney."

I scowled and folded my arms over my chest, a frown on my lips. Trust Cat to tell Tori this. "And the Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie." Tori continued resting her head on my shoulder.

"I'm watching it with you, but it doesn't mean I have to like it," I grumbled, the familiar feeling of warmth and my stomach doing back flips appeared when Tori got close to me.

"Please? I'll know you'll love it," I heard the half Latina say, but I didn't answer as I set most of my focus on the film instead of the girl beside me. Halfway through the film, when the red headed mermaid became human, I felt something being placed in my lap. I looked down and saw Tori's head resting there, still staring at the TV. I smiled a little and moved my eyes back to the film. My hand went into her hair, running my fingers through her brown hair, concentrating on how nice it felt around my fingers.

"This is my favorite part," I heard Tori whisper and I forced my eyes to go back to the screen, the red headed mermaid had just turned back into a mermaid. I could guess the end of this movie and I would be right.

"This is so predictable," I said, not realizing I had begun to gently massage her scalp. "She's going to marry that prince and Ursula, the only good character, is going to die."

"Does it matter? Ariel gets her happy ever after with her prince."

"A prince that she hasn't properly spoken to, but declared she was in love with him by just looking at him," I scoffed, looking down at Tori, who was gazing back up at me, her browns clouded by something I couldn't recognize.

"But she learns to truly love him when they spend time together."

"But still, it's stupid," I grumbled

"Just watch the rest of the film, Jade," Tori said, turning her attention back to the film, and all my focus went to the half Latina.

I walked further into the house, my eyes finding their way to the kitchen and Tori was there. She had her back to me and had earphones in, so she didn't know I was here. I was going to announce myself but the words got caught in my throat. She was still dressed in pajamas, bottoms and a vest top. But she was moving her hips to the beat of whatever song she was listening to and I couldn't move. I just stared, I knew I shouldn't, but I couldn't help it. I was just mesmerized by the way she could move. I felt my throat go dry and I had to stop Tori from doing what she was doing before I did something I really don't need to be doing. I stepped forward, not allowing my eyes to drop any further then the back of her head.

I reached and tugged out one of her earphones and said loudly, "I see you're awake then." I smirked, seeing the surprise on her face, she tensed up but after seeing it was me she relaxed smiling at me.

"I see you are as well." She paused her music and took out her remaining earphones. "Where did you go?" She asked, pouring coffee into two cups.

"Just went for a drive" I shrugged "Blac-"

"Black, two sugars." Tori smiled holding the coffee out to me. I smiled back.

"You are amazing." I grinned, taking my right hand out of my pocket to grab my cup, completely forgetting about the injury that was there.

A gasp escaped Tori's lips as she stared at my hand. I looked down, confused, before remembering. I cursed silently and stuffed it back into my pocket. She placed the cup down and held out a hand for my hand.

"Jade.. Let me look," She said, and by one look on her face I knew she was in no mood to argue. I kept my eyes down on the floor, not being able to look her in the face as I pulled my hand out of my pocket. Tori held her breath as I felt her gently grab my hand, but I winced at the contact anyways.

"What happened?" She asked me, her voice just above a whisper as her fingers gently touched the bruise that formed there.

"I punched a wall," I answered, knowing there was no point in lying.

"Why?"

"I got angry," I said and I lifted my gaze to see Tori's eyes. There was so much care and worry in her eyes that I felt my heart fill with guilt for not telling the whole reason. "I was thinking about the fucker who did it, I got so angry I wanted to kill him. I wanted him to pay. So I got in my car and drove. I ended up in my house when I finally realized what I was doing. Then I felt so much hate for that asshole that I punched a wall."

I couldn't tell her the whole reason as of to why my hand was the way it is. Me telling her that I liked her would not be beneficial and would just mess everything up. Tori didn't say anything for a while, just walked to the freezer to get a bag of ice.

"Sit," She told me, walking back to me, and I obeyed, sitting on the edge of the sofa. She sat down beside me and grabbed wrist and gently placed the bag of ice on top of the bruise. I hissed, but kept my hand there.

We sat like that for a while before Tori spoke up. "What you did was really stupid. Punching a wall, driving blindly in the middle of the night searching for someone you don't even know," She sighed heavily and kept her eyes fixed on my hand. "If something were to happen to you, Jade, I don't know what would happen."

"Tori," I said, softly removing my hand form the ice and moved it under her chin, lifting her head up to look at me. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right beside you and you are going to be healed. Do you trust me?"

"Yes, I trust you," She said, and I swear this was the perfect moment for me to kiss her, all I had to do was lean in and kiss them. Instead I moved my head away, shocked by how close our faces were.

"Are you singing for the Full Moon Jam?" I asked as Tori focused her attention back on my hand.

"No, not this time," she said, and I couldn't deny the disappointment I was feeling. "Are you?"

I nodded. "Yeah, I am, but I can't tell you; it's a surprise." I smirked as I saw her begin to pout. "Stop pouting Vega, I'm not going to tell you. You will have to wait and see." I wanted it to be a surprise, I had spent hours searching for the right song to sing and I had found the perfect one.

"Fine," She huffed. A few moments passed by before the silence was interrupted by the brunette. "Oh, I forgot." She flung her arms around me crushing me in a hug. "Happy Birthday, Jade," She whispered in my ear, and it sent a shiver through my body. I squeezed her slightly before she moved away.

"I got you something," She said, jumping up and walking into the kitchen.

"You didn't have to-" I said before Tori cut me off.

"Oh, shush, grumpy pants." The half Latina grinned, sitting beside me and handed me a small box. I took it hesitantly. The last time I got a present on my birthday was when I was eleven, after that I got nothing. When I was dating Beck I told him to never get me anything on my birthday or Christmas, all he did was pay when we went on dates and such. That was it. But now Tori had actually got me something, on my birthday.

"Well, open it then," She said and I could hear how impatient she is, so I took off the wrapping to reveal a small jewelry box. I opened the box to reveal a black leather bracelet with a silver scissor pendant attached to it. It was beautiful and so me. I was speechless, no one had ever gotten me a gift this nice or thoughtful before.

"Do you like it?" She asked nervously wringing her hands together. I looked at the half Latina, and smiled.

"It's perfect," I said softly "Thank you, Tori."

"You're welcome," She said softly "You deserve it."
