A/N: Sorry this took so long! xoxo

"Jade? Is that you?"

Jade knew she was caught, so she decided to be graceful about it. Well, as graceful as Jade West could be. She pulled down her sleeves and gathered her things, shoving them roughly into her backpack before stepping out of the stall. She glared down at Tori on the floor. "What do you want, Vega?" Stepping up to the mirror, she checked her reflection. It was almost perfect.

Again, she wasn't enough.

Apparently in the space between her Jade leaving the stall and that moment, Tori decided to grow some balls. "How much did you hear?" she asked.

"Obviously the whole thing. I was in here when you walked in, captain oblivious."

The brunette looked down at her feet and Jade watched her in the mirror. It really wasn't fair. She was even cuter on the floor like that, sad puppy eyes and ruffled hair and all. She looked up when Tori's eyes returned to her reflection. "Can I ask you something?"

Jade scoffed. "Do you have vocal cords?"

Tori was silent again, for a long time, and Jade was considering leaving before she finally spoke. "Why did you invite me over?" She sighed. "I mean, if you knew…" her voice trailed off and she gestured to her arms. "…you were gonna do that." Jade turned around slowly, eyes to the sky hoping for the strength not to kill the girl on the floor. Should she be mean? Be her normal self? Maybe acting like everything was as it should be would make everyone feel better.

"I really don't know," she lied. "Maybe I wanted to tell you to your face just how much I hate your guts. You know, in case you were too stupid to realize that."

Once again, Tori was silent, and it was really starting to piss Jade off. She loved being the dominant one, sure, but Tori wasn't fighting back at all. She was just taking it. This wasn't really the Tori she knew and it scared her enough to make her mad all over again.

"What, you're just going to sit there?" she asked, her voice growing louder. "No smart comments? No trying to convince me we're actually friends? No 'I'm Tori Vega, love me!'"

Tori didn't even try to insist she didn't talk like that.

"You know what, Vega? You're pathetic." She didn't mean for her voice to crack at the end of the insult, but it almost felt like she was really talking to herself. That she was the pathetic one (which was true) and that she was only taking her anger out on Tori because she was an easy target (which was also true.) Grabbing her bag off the sink, she quickly walked out, leaving Tori on the floor.
