Chap 7

Jade

Christ last night was incredible! I swear I've never felt like this before. Not even with her. I got up and headed to the bathroom to freshen up before heading downstairs where the smell of fresh brewed coffee was calling my name. I found her looking sexy as ever in my robe over the stove humming along to that Bruno Mars song I like. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her slim waist.

"Good morning beautiful" I whispered in her ears. She turned in my arms and kissed me.

"Afternoon to you" she answered with a grin. Geez is it afternoon already? I haven't slept in that late in a while. Then again I haven't been worn out this much either. She turned her attention back to the stove. I'm kinda jealous of the omelet now. Is that weird? I decided to vie for her attention my running my tongue down that sensitive spot on her neck. She shrugged me off.

"Stop Jade let me finish" she whined. I hate whining but for some reason not from her. I surrendered and allowed her to finish cooking. I sat down on one of the barstool chairs I had at the counter and watched her work. See good sex gets you coffee and an omelet in the morning time. I smirked at that. She turned around with a plate and a cup of coffee in her hand and placed it before me. Damn it smelled good. I dug in pronto. Geez what the hell did she put in this. It is amazing!

"Wow Tori this is great. You're really good." I watched the cute blush color her cheeks. I just realized that I have no idea where she lives. "So when will I know where you live?" she seemed to flinch at my question. I guess she isn't too thrilled for me to know where she lives and maybe Beck was somewhat right.

"Well my parents are away this weekend so I'll give you the address. Don't come over unless you call first though." I guess no random I was in the neighborhood surprise kind of thing for me then. What are you thinking about Jade have you forgotten she is engaged? I forced the thought to the back of my brain. She hasn't really told me anything about her parents so I figured I'd at least try to get her to talk about them.

"What's up with your parents anyways?" I took a swig of the coffee waiting for her response. "They are controlling and religious." Her voice had a kind of finality to it so I guess I wasn't going to get anything else out of her. I dropped the issue. I figure when she is ready to tell me she will. She perked up somewhat and changed the subject.

"I'm gonna run home to get a few things do you want to come with me?" "Sure" I responded. I got up and placed the dishes in the dishwasher and I led her to the bathroom where I allowed myself to be consumed by the entity that's Tori Vega. I hate to say that I let her get under my skin. She is breaking down all the barriers that I've set in place without even trying. This pull that I felt towards her just keeps magnifying and I'd be lying if I didn't say it scared the crap out of me. I have no idea what to do.

We got out the shower an hour later and got dressed. Despite everything clouding what we have I was happy. I felt somewhat alive again. I went into the kitchen to start the washer while Tori went to get the car started. I set up the timer and head to towards the door to see Tori still standing in the door way. I walked up next to her only to lay eyes the one person who could shit all over my happy parade Caterina Valentine. Every trace of happiness vanished at the site of her and an undeniable anger took over. I can't deny that the shit that she pulled still hurt up till this day and I'm fucking pissed about it.

"What the fuck are you doing here Cat?!" I saw Tori in my peripheral visibly flinch at my voice which I also don't even recognize.

"Jade I just want to talk to you." I used to love the sound of that voice. It was so soft and melodic. I can't help the fact that I wanted to hear what she has to say maybe she can finally explain herself and why she has a suitcase at her feet. Do I really want to know though? Am I that sadistic that I really want to relive it? I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't register Tori leaving until she was almost at her car. I panicked.

"Tori don't leave." I hurried up to catch up with her but the pain behind her eyes caught me off guard. 'What the hell Jade don't let her go leave your ho of an ex and go with Tori.' Christ I'm so pathetic right now I started grasping at straws. "Just let me see what she wants then we can go." 'What? Why the fuck would I say that?' The look that crossed her beautiful features was enough to make me feel like shit.

"Do what you want Jade. I'm going home." I wanted to stop her. Say anything to prevent her from driving off. Nothing came out. I watched her drive off I turned and went back up to see her with a smug look on her face.

"Why are you here Cat?"

"I see you've moved on Jade but she isn't the girl for you." This little bitch! I'm gonna ignore that.

"I don't have time for your shit woman why you're here"

"I miss you Jade. I love you and I want you back. " Is she serious right now?

"What the fuck Cat I was devoted to you and now when I'm finally moving on you come back with this shit? Did you conveniently forget that you cheated on me with my fucking sister of all people? What? Am I supposed to just overlook that? Forgive you like nothing happened? Like you fucked some bum off the fucking street? You took the last fucking family I had left and fucked them! Not only that you left me for her!" I felt like squeezing the life out of her. She had some balls coming here.

"Jade it was a mistake and I realize that now. People make mistakes all the time. The good thing is you can also forgive them for it"

"A mistake? What you tripped and fell head first between her legs then your mouth mistakenly lapped the shit out of her? No Cat a that's not a mistake. You have been fucking around with her for 2 months!"

"You ignored me! You were the one who was so caught up in work that you couldn't spend time with me. I wanted some affection! I wanted to feel loved and appreciated but no you had to work!" What an ungrateful bitch. I leave on a work assignment for two months and I came back early to surprise her only to find her between Jada's legs. Trust no bitch. Don't know why I thought she was better.

"I had to Cat that fucking one time! Other than that movie I was always there! That doesn't give you an excuse to fuck my sister out of loneliness or whatever crap you're spewing right now furthermore your ass wasn't complaining when you were spending my money!"

"Baby I'm so sorry for what I did. I now know it wasn't worth it and I am willing to make it up to you."

"Where's Jada anyways?"

"She left me… for some asshole she met" that explains it. "Look Jade I want us to start over. I was hoping we could…" I wouldn't even let her finish the sentence.

"No fucking way Cat. Go find someone else to put up with your shit cause I'm over it & you. Oh I forgot to tell you my sister was kind of a slut so you might want to get yourself tested." With that I walked away from her. I went back inside and grabbed Tori's address. I came back out locked my door and walked over to my car leaving her standing in the driveway. My sole thought at this point is just that Tori would hear me out. I can't believe I let her just drive away. l put her address in my GPS and sped off towards her house. I turned on the radio to help me mellow out. Ironically my favorite one of my favorite songs was playing. Despite my mood I sang along.

…
You've gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me
will never leave my lips again under the blinding rain.
I wanna hold your hand so tight I'm gonna break my wrist,
and when the vultures sing tonight I'm gonna join right in.

I'll sing along, oh
'cause I don't know any other song.
I'll sing along,
but I'm barely hanging on.
No, I'm barely hanging on.
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone,
and now there's nothing to do but scream at the drunken moon.

This isn't fair!
No!
Don't you try to blame this on me.
My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me.
And god damn it, I can barely say your name,
so I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink.
But don't just say it, you should sing my name.
Pretend that it's a song 'cause forever it's yours,
and we can sing this on the way home.

I switched off the radio. The words hit a little below the belt and I couldn't take it right now. I finished the drive in silence. I pulled up to her house about 20 minutes later. I breathe a sigh of relief at the sight of her car in the driveway. I was a bit worried she wouldn't have gone home like she said. I walked up to the door and realized that it's slightly open. I push my way in and looked around hoping to see her. The place isn't bad… nicely decorated except for the weird sort of shrine set up in a corner with a bunch of crosses and Mary and Jesus figurines on it. Talk about overboard. I stepped further into the living room and heard the crunch of broken glass beneath my boots. I looked down at the shattered vase and the crumpled flowers next to it.

"Tori" I called out but I got no response. I heard some muffled sounds coming from upstairs and my heart kicked in overdrive. I rushed up the steps two at a time and followed the sounds to a room at the end of the hall. I opened the door to see Tori lying on the floor with her top ripped open exposing her breasts and some dude on top of her with his ass cheeks exposed and his filthy hands over her mouth wiggling his body to settle on her. All logic left me as I blacked out in rage. I grabbed the asshole off of her and proceeded to kick the shit out of him. He grunted in pain but at this moment I didn't care if I killed him. All I could see behind my eyes was him trying to force himself in her. I reached down and punched him in the face which knocked him out. I continued delivering blows until I felt a small pair of hands pulling me off him.

"Jade stop please" She grunted out. I stepped away from him and turned around to hold her in my arms. She started sobbing uncontrollably on my shoulder. I ran my hand over her hair in a comforting manner whispering soothing words in her ear.

"It's ok baby. It's ok. I won't let anyone hurt you again." I held her while her body shook with tremors. Fuck this would've never happened if I came with her. If I had just told Cat to go fuck herself on the spot she wouldn't have gone through this.

"Jade…y..you c…came. He was g…g…gonna ra…"She rambled out. "Shh its ok. You don't have to talk about that right now" I grabbed a T-shirt and a shorts I saw on her bed and led her out the room but not before turning back to deliver another blow to the asshole laying there. I took her down stairs and sat her down while I called the police. I told them what happened and gave them her address. I hung up with them and sat next to her. She was staring off into space with silent tears flowing from her eyes. The fucker busted her lip and left quite the bruise on her cheek which was slowly turning into an ugly shade of purple. I got mad all over again. It's taking everything inside me not to go back up and kick his ass some more. I went into the kitchen and found a clean cloth which I ran under some cold water and put an ice cube in. I went back over and placed it on her jaw. She flinched but I don't know whether it's the pain or the coolness of the rag.

"Tori baby I'm so sorry. I should've just left with you instead of talking to Cat. None of this would've happened." She gave me a small smile.

"Don't worry about it Jade. He didn't get to hurt me. I'm just glad you showed up when you did. Glad you showed up at all." Wonder what she means by that?

"How did that asshole get in here anyways? Did he break in?" she chuckled humorlessly.

"No he knows where the spare key is thanks to my awesome father. That asshole is or was my fiancé Ryder. He apparently saw us at the club together last night and came here to wait until I got home. He said he wanted to get his share since I'm freely giving it away." That fucker! I could kill him but I don't feel like going to jail for anyone.

"What did you mean by glad I showed up at all?"

"Well I thought…" she didn't get to finish statement since we were interrupted by the cops arriving. They came through the door with guns drawn firing off questions at us. She told them he was in her room and 2 of the 4 headed off in that direction. Another female cop took Tori aside for questioning and to take pictures of the bruises on her face. She told them that she didn't need an ambulance since he wasn't able to follow through. The last cop came and pulled me to the other side of the room and requested I recall the events leading up to the call. I retold the tale as truthfully as I could while downplaying how much I actually kicked his ass. The cop looked like he didn't believed with that part but oh well. I glimpsed the officers coming down the stairs with a battered Ryder in cuffs. He was glaring at Tori malice evident behind his eyes. He looked over at me.

"I'll get you next time bitch" he sneered. "Whenever you're ready fucker. I'll be waiting with my scissors" I flipped him off. Wait I can't get in trouble for that right. He threatened me first. Crap.

"We'll be in touch with you ladies" the female cop said to us before walking out the door. I held Tori's hand and kissed her non bruised cheek.

"What in the heavens is going on here?!" A man's voice boomed from the door. Tori jumped at the sound and immediately released my hand.

"Papa…Mom! I…uhh I thought you guys weren't coming back till tomorrow." I could feel the nervousness radiating from her.

"We came back early. What is going on? Why are the police here and who is this person?" He looked me up and down with a frown like I'm shit on his boots. I already dislike this guy. Clearly he has a fucking problem.

"This is my…ahh friend Jade"

"Jade this my…"

"No need for that just get her out of my house and clean up this mess. Once that is done you can tell me what happened here. I won't have people like her tarnishing my dwelling" the nerve of this fucker! You would think they would show a little more care for their daughter seeing her face all battered up and shit. My instinct to protect her kicked in. I grabbed her hand intent on taking her away from this asshole. She stayed rooted to the spot.

"No Jade just go please" she cried softly.

"Are you fucking serious right now Tori" she pulled me outside of the house. "You can't expect me to just leave you here with them after what happened earlier. They clearly don't give a fuck about you. I'm not gonna let them hurt you anymore."

"Jade please." She sobbed

"No Tori I won't leave you just come with me ok. You don't need them in your life constantly bringing you down. We can go anywhere you want to go. Just come with me please" I pleaded with her.

"Oh so now know what I need Jade? You let me walk away from you while you tend to your old wounds. You didn't choose me in that moment Jade" that was a low blow.

"Tori it wasn't like that I just wanted…"

"Just go Jade please. I won't come with you." I don't believe her maybe if I told her...

"Tori I…I love you. I'm sorry I let you leave earlier all doubtful of what's going on with us but I was never going to choose her. Some stupid part of me just longed for an explanation for what happened and I'm sorry." There I said it. I finally let it out in the universe and left myself vulnerable. A pained expression crossed her face.

"I'm sorry too Jade" she turned and ran back inside. I stood there frozen to the spot fighting the foreign matter dwelling in my eyes while my heart shattered into infinite pieces. I will not cry for her.
