Chapter 4: Love?

"My love life?" Tori repeated what Jade just said, to be sure it's what she heard. The gothic chick nodded to confirm it. "Yes, what made it so difficult? You know, your past relationships?"

Jade leaned back against the headboard of her bed as she looked at the Latina right in front of her. "You don't have to tell me if you're uncomfortable about it."

Tori shook her head before responding. "I can tell you." She looked down to take a deep breath, then brought her attention back onto Jade. "Well, they just all ended up the same really."

"In what way?"

"They used me being so well known to bring so much attention to them, you know? I'm the reason I got them the following, and I'm also the reason that people adored them." Tori crossed her arms as she bit onto her lower lip.

"And when I told them that it shouldn't matter whether or not I made them somewhat well known.. they immediately blew me off and left me. Cause I wouldn't give them want they want, attention and being famous on social media."

"That's not even it! Heck, no matter what girl I come across.. they'll always end up hurting me in some way. Abuse, verbally, being used for unnecessary reasons, and just so much things that make it all so unfair for me."

The brunette brought her attention onto the sheets of her bed. "Hey.." Jade placed a hand over Tori's shoulder, using her free hand to lift up her chin to face her. "At least you have me." She smiled.

"W-We're not even dating." Tori rolled her eyes playfully.

"And? I'm saying that if we did start dating.. know that I'll never ever dare to treat you like that." Jade had the look in her eyes as if she was kinda upset, not about Tori though. "Especially from what I went through with my last relationship, I don't see myself ever hurting anyone emotionally or physically."

"When it comes to love of course."

Tori now started to get curious. "Do you wanna talk about it maybe? Since I did tell you about my relationship problems, why was this one so bad?"

Jade hated to be reminded of him. "His name is Beck, he honestly was my first and only boyfriend."

"Everything about it is just so toxic! We were on and off all the time, and we constantly fought." The gothic raven haired teen then got up from the bed to get her makeup wipes. She sat back down as she pulled one out.

"Promise me you won't freak out about this." Jade said in a very quiet tone, her eyes closed for a couple of seconds.

"Freak out? Why would I freak out?" Now this made Tori more worried than she was before.

Jade sighed before holding her arm out while using the other to rub the rub her skin with the wipe up and down slowly with pressure. Slowly but surely, bruises were found all over her arm. Scars even.

Tori widened her eyes at what she saw, how could someone just do this to her? "O-Oh god.. Jade.." She placed her hand over Jade's arm and gently started to caress each bruise and scar. "Why?"

"It was his only way to get out his anger. Also, he didn't really care about me. He just really wanted me for my looks and kisses. He only cared about himself." Looking at her arm brought it all back, the bruises barely even faded. "I couldn't handle him anymore! I had to end it with him. Besides, lots of girls flirt with him anyway."

"I'm so sorry that you had to go through that, Jade. You don't deserve that from anyone. You're an amazing girl, I can't even imagine hurting someone like you." Tori now moved her hand right on top of Jade's to lock their fingers together as she looked into those gorgeous glittering eyes.

"Taking a picture of you without even knowing is one thing.. but seeing how you are in person, a dark yet loving personality is another. Honestly, now that I know you and how you are.. I pretty much see your looks as a bonus."

"What're you saying?" Jade stared back into Tori's eyes sharply, trying to understand those words that the Latina said.

"I'm saying that I rather have you for you. Unlike your bullshit ex who only cared about you for your looks." Tori lifted up Jade's hand that she held and kissed the back of it gently with her soft lips.

A warm smile appeared onto the brunette's face. "If you still wanna wait.. I'm willing to wait for as long as we need. It may have been a few days, but I honestly feel a connection between us somehow."

"We can't stop talking to one another, we make each other smile and laugh all the time, and we both went through so much. You being scary while I'm such a good girl shouldn't even matter."

Tori bit onto her lip once again before continuing with what she was saying. "As they say.. opposites attract. We are the perfect example of that."

Jade thought about it all with what Tori just said, it's been a while since her breakup with Beck. If she got with Tori then this would be her second relationship. The first time may not be good but maybe the second will be the destination to actually finding someone who cares?

This would also be her first time being with a girl. Jade wasn't complaining about it though, she's bi and yet look at Tori at the same time. Just seeing Tori alone kinda made Jade raise more into being attracted to females.

It was then when Jade started to speak. "Alright, we can start something."

"R-Really? Wait, you're serious?" Tori had to be sure if she heard Jade correctly, did she really just say that?

"Don't let my words twist you, Vega. Like I said before, prove to me that you're worthy. That you're different than Beck, and truly show me that I'm actually loved and cared for."

Tori grinned, moving the left side of her mouth up to her cheeks. "Jade, I want you to also prove that you're not like the other girls. To show me that I am more than just a well known photographer who can get people to be more known cause of me." The younger Vega was gonna say more, but Jade stopped her by kissing Tori's cheek.

"Shh, will you be my girlfriend, Vega?" Jade whispered into Tori's ear, which made Tori giggle cause it tickled a little.

"More than anything in this world." Tori responded with a quiet voice, just as soft as Jade was when she whispered.

One happy moment to another. Jade and Tori couldn't help but to share a longer kiss than their kiss back at the car when Jade dropped Tori off at the Vega household.

A picture turned into something like this to happen? Wow.
