Jade's POV

Three days. Three days until I have to leave, and normally I wouldn't care; I didn't even care when I left my ex boyfriend Beck for weeks on end, but with her, it's different in ways I can't understand; I love it. She's a challenge that I can't figure out. "Vega?"

"Yeah?"

I don't answer for about a minute while I think it over. "Do you want to meet my Mom?"

She spits out the water she was drinking onto the sidewalk. A few people give her a look, and I smile at her embarrassment.

"Are you serious?" she asks, wiping off her chin with a napkin.

"Uh, yeah? You're my girlfriend, aren't you?" I say like it's the most obvious thing in the world. She looks at me and smiles.

"So, does that mean this is going to be a long term thing?"

"Yeah, why?" I ask as we walk back into our dorm. "Did you not want it to be or something?"

She shakes her head "No, no, of course I do," she says and sits on the bottom bunk. I sit next to her and smirk. "...what?"

"Wanna make out on her bed just to piss her off?" She's about to answer, which I know is going to be no, but I don't care. I quickly press my lips to hers and push her back on to the bed. I climb on top of her and swipe my tongue across her bottom lip. I could go all the way with her, I mean, yeah I want to, but even if I did it's not about sex anymore. It's more than that. So, I stop. I kiss her one last time before climbing off of her and rolling next to her.

"Uh…" she stutters.

"Do we need to work on forming sentences, Tori?"

"N-No, I just… you just…"

"I know I'm a good kisser, you don't have to tell me twice." She laughs, and I turn on my side, resting my head on my hand. "Tell me more about yourself." So she does. We talk for about a half an hour about our lives, even though there's not too much we don't already know about each other. I've said this before and I'll say it again. This girl is going to be a challenge. A challenge I don't intend on giving up on.

"Question."

"Go ahead," I say, pulling her body closer into my side.

"In your Moms book, did she make your personality into Carmens?" I chuckle and look down at her.

"Why don't you ask her?" She looks at me with wide eyes.

"Were you serious about me meeting her?" I nod. "When?"

"Today," I say as I sit up and slide off the bed to stretch. She gives me a stupid look, and give her one right back. She knows I'm serious, so she gets up and starts to pack.

One hour later

Tori's POV

"God, you're so fucking wrong!"

"No I'm not! It's the episode where she shoves it-"

"Oh, I can tell you where to shov-"

"Okay! That's enough!" I yell, turning around from the passenger's seat to look at Skylar with a glare; she rolls her eyes and turns away.

"Why did we bring her?" I turn to my side and look at Jade with my "excuse me" look. She said she didn't care so I put her on a kissing ban for two hours. "Oh, come on, can I just-"

"No. Shut up and drive." She mutters a few choice words while I laugh to myself. There's something about her that I like. I've never been into bad boys, or bad girls for that matter like everyone else, but Jade's different. She's not a typical bad girl, she's made her own category. Don't ask me why, but, I think I could fall in love with her. Kind of a stupid thing to say since I just met her four days ago, but, I mean, as far as I was aware, I was straight; until I met her. If that doesn't say something about how I feel about her, then, I don't know what does.

At the West residence

When we pull into Jade's driveway, I start panicking. What if her Mom doesn't like me, what if she doesn't approve of our relationship? "Um, Tori?"

"Huh?" I say, looking over to Jade who has the car keys dangling on her fingers.

"You gonna open the door? Or… do you need help?" My face burns bright red and I hear Skylar laugh. I slowly open the door, of course tripping when I get out before gently shutting the door. I sling my backpack over my shoulder as we walk up to the huge stone clad house. Jade finds the key on her chain and sticks it into the lock until the door opens. We step into the house and I nearly pass out.

"This is a house?" I ask, gently letting my backpack strap slide off of my shoulder onto the marble floor.

"No," Skylar says, smirking at Jade, "this is an experience."

"Yeah," Jade agrees with a teasing smile. "Welcome to the West residence." I don't even think shocked is the word, I don't think there is a word, actually, to express how I feel about where I'm standing right now. And, it's not really that fact that I'm basically standing in one of the nicest houses I've ever seen in my life, but, the fact that I'm here, with my best friend and my girlfriend. It's… nice.

"Sky?" Jade asks as Skylars emerges from behind the fridge door.

"Mmmmhmfp?" she hums, trying to swallow the sandwich that's halfway down her throat.

"I'm gunna show Tori around, okay?" Skylar raises her eyebrow and Jade rolls her eyes. "Jesus Skylar. I'm going to take my girlfriend up to my room, shut the door, and fucking kiss her like no one's around, you got it now?"

There are surprisingly very few things that can turn me on, but, Jade West? She's just changed the game.

"Come on," Jade says, entwining our hands as she leads my up the stairs. After what seems like forever of walking through winding walls, we reach her jet black door. She opens it and we walk inside, but, I don't have any time to look around because she has me pressed against her door and she's kissing me like there's no tomorrow.

Five minutes go by and I feel lightheaded.

Ten minutes go by and she starts trailing light, soft kisses down my neck.

Fifteen minutes go by and she gently slides her hands up the front of my shirt.

Twenty minutes go by and she has her hand under my bra. I'm drunk. I've never drank in my life, though, but if Jade West is alcohol, I wouldn't think twice before becoming an alcoholic.

Twenty-five minutes go by and we're on her bed now. And my shirts gone and she's on top of me sucking on my pulse point and I let out the tiniest of moans and she smiles against my skin. And then, there's a knock on her door. Jade lets out an irritated sigh and detaches herself from my pulse. "Go away, Skylar. Tori and I are busy."

The door opens, the light switches on, and Jasmine West stands in the doorway with her arms crossed and her eyebrows raised. "Both of, meet me downstairs in the living room in three minutes. Don't keep me waiting, either." She leaves and I swallow the lump on my throat.

Great first impression, Tori.

Jade rolls off the bed, runs a hand through her disheveled hair and throws my shirt at me, which I shakily put on. Then, we're finally in the living room. Jasmine looks, well, I can't actually tell. And Jade looks, well, I can't tell either. She looks both of us over for a minute before nodding at me. "May I speak with you?" I swallow and smile nervously at her before nodding my head.

"Um… y-yes, of course, Mrs. West." She smiles in the slightest and looks at Jade.

"Honey, can you go wait in the den? It'll only be a few minutes," she says. Jade nods slowly and walks around a corner. "Do you want to sit down on the couch?"

"I-I… yeah, s-sure." She tries to hide her smile, and she reminds me so much of Jade, so I smile a bit, too. We both sit on the pale white sofa and she turns to me, and I do the same.

"So, how long have you known my daughter?"

I answer honestly, because there's no point in lying. "For four days, Mrs. West."

"I see," she nods and folds her hands in her lap. "And, what is going on between you two? Are you friends, are you just hooking up-"

"Oh, no! Nothing like that!" I say quickly to shatter her thinking, "we're actually dating."

She looks shocked for a moment before saying, "did I miss something?"

I tilt my head slightly, confused. "I'm sorry?"

She laughs and I frown. "No, no, I mean, you've only known each other four days and you're already dating. For how long?"

"Three days." And a knowing smile spreads across her face.

"So you're Tori," she says with realization. "May I ask you something, then, Tori?"

I nod. "Yes, of course."

"Do you love her?" The question catches me completely off guard as my thoughts spin desperately around in my head to find an answer. Do I? Why shouldn't I? Why should I? Why wouldn't I? Why would I? And it's all these answers moving faster and faster around my head, running into each other and speeds faster than the atoms in an atomic bomb. And then it all stops. I think back to the first day I met her. Her eyes, her smile, everything about her. The fact that she made me feel like no one else ever have and probably ever will. And I know, now I have my answer.

"Yes, I do," I breathe out, finally. She smiles so wide and leans in to hug me. We both laugh and she wipes a tear from her eye.

"Thank you," she whispers. I don't know why she's thanking me, so I don't say you're welcome. But somehow I feel like she knows that I want to.

Jade's POV

My Mom knows about Tori, because I told her. Why? Because it felt right. And, in all honesty, I'm a bit terrified because nothing relationship wise with anyone has ever felt so right. "Vega!" I say as I walk over to her as she walks through the den. "What happened? What'd she tell you? What did she say?"

"Nothing important," she says before kissing me softly. "She wants to talk to you though."

"Okay. Go up to my room and wait for me? Maybe text Skylar to see where she went."

"Sure thing," she says before she heads back for the staircase before turning around. "And, Jade?"

"Yeah?"

"Your Mom's nice."

Don't I know it. Don't I fucking know it. She smiles one last time before turning the corner and heading up to my room. I take a small breath as I walk into the living room and sit next to my Mom on the couch. "So, you and Tori are dating, correct?"

"Yeah," I say, nodding my head slowly.

"Right. But, from what you were telling me, you had, and still have some unknown feelings for her, am I right?" I nod and she smiles. "So, is there anything you'd like to tell me, you know, regarding your sexuality?"

And this is it. This is the hardest question I'll ever have to answer in my life, as of right now, anyway. "I-I… I really don't know. All I know is that I want Tori, I have feelings for Tori, and I don't give a shit about anyone else because all I want is Tori."

"You're t-sexual," she finally says, a small smile on her face. I raise my eyebrow.

"What the hell does that even mean?"

"You're Tori-sexual, honey." And then we're both laughing. I love my Mom, I really do. I don't know anyone who understands their kids like she understands me. I love her for that.

"Thanks Mom," I say, giving her a real smile.

"You're very welcome, firefly," she whispers. "May I ask you one last question?"

"Yeah, shoot."

"Do you love her?" she asks softly. I lied, this is the hardest question I'll ever have to answer in my life. And I hope the questions don't get anymore harder than this because I just might not be able to answer them. Do I love her? Now, I have to be honest; I'm a terrible person, not all the time but a lot of it. I played her for a time that I could have actually spent with her. But, she makes me smile, when no one else can. She makes me trip over my words and share my deepest secrets that only few people know. She looks at me, and I'm gone, my heart just fucking stops and she takes my breath away. I fucking hate it, but i can't get enough of it. And, now I realize that it's okay; it's okay for me to love her. Because I do. "Yeah, I do." She smiles and wipes a small tear from the corner of her eye before standing up and kissing the top of my head.

"Good, I'm proud of you, Jadelyn. Go back to your girlfriend, but I have rules. Nothing more than kissing in this house, alright? At least, not for a long while, can you do that for me?" I nod and she smirks. "Good. Now shoo, I've got work to do and you've got someone to entertain."

"Right, okay," I say before getting up. I jog back upstairs to my room and walk in. She smiles at me and I smile back as I sit next to her on my bed. "What did Skylar say? Anything?"

She frowns. "Yeah, but I didn't quite get what she was saying. I mean, she texted me this…" She hands me her phone and scrolls to the message.

Hey Tori, get Jade and tell her that we're gunna turn up tonight! You can join us, if you're game enough ;)

I look at her and she's completely clueless, and it's the most adorable thing in the world. So, I kiss her.

"You're so lame, babe," I whisper in her ear.

"But you're dating me anyways." And I couldn't argue there, because she has a point. A very good one.

Tori's POV

"Mm, Jade…" I mumble against her lips.

She pulls away from me slightly and smirks down at me. "What?"

I smile a little. "We've been kissing for an hour."

She bites her lips before leaning down to my ear. "Maybe we should do more than kissing, since that's what you're implying." And I whimper because, she drives me crazy. I don't know why, and, I really don't care much right now.

"Nice try," I breathe out, happy with how calm my words sound. Because I know that, if I didn't have any respect for Mrs. West, or, you know, myself, then I would have let her take me, right now, no question. But, I don't think I'm going to give in this easily, not now anyways.

And, considering that on Saturday, is the day Jade leaves, and also the day I graduate, I was thinking that, maybe by this time I would have found someone to give myself to. Someone that I care about, someone that loves me as much as I love them because that's all anyone ever wants. And, I'm happy because I think I might have found that with Jade. I sure hope so.

"Whatever," she says before rolling off of me. "Have it your way, Vega. But you won't be able to resist me for long."

Don't I know it, Jade. Don't I freaking know it.

An hour and a half later

9:41 pm

"Are you losers ready yet?" Skylar asks, pulling on her last shoe and tying it. Jade rolls her eyes and I nod unenthusiastically. I've been to some parties, but, they've always only had alcohol, never drugs. I'm not going to tell Jade I'm scared, though, because then she's going to feel like she has to look after me, and… I really don't want that.

Finally, we tell Mrs. West goodbye and get into Jade's car. The party is somewhere in one of the rich kid neighbourhoods. But, when we pull up to the house and I can hear the bass through the car, I almost get sick. "Bye, bitches!" And then Skylar's running up the driveway and through the houses' front door.

"You okay, Vega?" I swallow and she frowns. "Tori… we can go home if you want." I love that about her, though. The fact that she's the toughest person I know and never gives a crap about anything, and then she offers to drive us back home because I don't want to go.

"No, we don't have to… I just…"

"What?"

I look her straight in the eye and place my hand on her cheek, rubbing soft circles with my thumb."Promise me you won't let anything happen to you, okay?"

She frowns harder. "What do you mean me? I'll be fine, Tori, I just worry about you and-"

"I mean, I want you to worry about yourself, instead of me tonight, alright? I'll be fine, I don't drink much, I don't do drugs, I'll be fine. But, I know that you came here to have fun, and that's fine, just be careful, for me, okay?" She nods and I kiss her. She smiles at me, I smile back and then we get out of her car and walk up to the door with our hands clasped together.

When we walk through the door, the smell of sweat, alcohol and teen spirit, hits my nose and I gag a bit, but Jade squeezes my hand and I feel a little better. "You wanna get something to drink?"

I nod and she drags me through the crowd of drunken teenagers to the kitchen. There's a bar, filled with literally every kind of alcoholic drink ever made. Jade asks where the kid got all of it, and he just laughs and tells her that he has a whole room just for alcohol. She pours me a vodka and coke, and she takes a shot and a glass of scotch. She leans against the pillar in the kitchen and smiles at me and everything just doesn't exist anymore. The music slows, and now it's just my heartbeat in my ears. I've never seen someone look more beautiful than in this moment. And, I love it because, she's perfect, even when someone shouldn't be seen as perfect, or beautiful. But here she is, in a long sleeved green top, black skirt, long wavy hair and her combat boots, in some kids house drinking scotch. And I've never seen her look more beautiful.

10:57 pm

Jade and I walk out onto the back balcony because she told me she was going to be sick. So, I dragged her up the stairs, to the front balcony first, but it was way too crowded, so I ended up taking her to the back balcony, which had one guy who was passed out on the ground. "Are you okay?"

She smirks at me. "Mmhm… I just wanted to kiss you without any interruptions." She leans in to kiss me, but I turn my head so she gets my cheek. She pulls away and pouts and I giggle.

"Jade, you're really drunk… maybe we should-"

"There you guys are! I've been looking for you two everywhere!" Jade rolls her eyes and Skylar comes up to us and grabs both of our wrists. "We have a VIP room waiting for us!"

I've seen Sky drunk before, but, nothing like this… she's literally, well, crapfaced. She drags us both down the hallway, up one small flight of stairs, down another hallway and into a room with a gold door. Inside is a room with couches and a few kids sitting, drinking and talking. They smile when we come in and tell us to sit. My guess is, they're all probably crapfaced, and it's embarrassing because I've only had a shot and a vodka and coke. But, I'm a prude, coming from Trina.

"Alright, let's get this game started," one kid, who's name I think is Jayke, says, taking a sip of his beer. I smile nervously before we all sit in a circle on the floor.

12:03 am

It's been an hour filled with stupid questions, but I don't think I've ever laughed so much in my life. Jade is so adorable! She's been whining because she doesn't get asked many questions, and then she pouts and it's the cutest thing ever. "Okay, okay, last question," some girl named Miranda says; who, I really don't know much about, other than she's in marching band and has a phobia of hot guys; "Jade, kiss the most attractive person in this room, and whoever you chose, you two get to have the room across the hall for an hour. Chose wisely," she smirks. Jade has a lopsided smile on her face, and she gets on all fours and starts crawling towards me.

I close my eyes and wait for her lips to touch mine, but they never come. I open my eyes, thinking she's just playing a game; and, she is, because she's kissing Skylar like she kissed me earlier, she's playing a game with my heart. One that makes everything exist again; one that makes too much exist again. The blood is pumping in my ears, and it's all I can hear; apart from the sound of my heart shattering.

You all thought Tori was going to find out about the bet, didn't you? Well, as Emma Roberts would say… Surprise bitch ;)

I have a lot of reasons as to why this chapter wasn't out early, but I'm almost certain you don't want to hear them just as much as I don't want to tell them. But, I will tell you, that I'm at my Dad's house all week, that means access to the computer all week instead of every other week. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Tell me what you liked/didn't like and what you'd like to see in the upcoming chapters. Thank you guys.
