I'd like to clarify some stuff I perhaps didn't make clear previously:
Tori was never pining over Heather when she was with Jade. When I said something to the effect of, "Worse, she still loved Tori, and Tori still loved her." I made Jade know that just from watching facial expressions and recognizing love.
Tori's logic is that although they were both competing over Moose it was really just a competition between the two of them. Like the episode states Tori wants Moose to just say that he liked her better. She never acted on it the way Jade did and felt betrayed and after they made up after all their arguments over honesty Jade never said anything. Tori is not the villain here.
Jade did what she did with Beck to make Tori jealous but Tori didn't go out with Heather to make Jade jealous. Tori genuinely cares for both Heather and Jade and wants to give Heather and her another chance since they used to date, it doesn't mean that she doesn't still love Jade, it just means that she loves both girls—just one more than the other.
You Belong With Me
I walk into school, head held high and feeling on top of the world. My date with Beck last night can only be described as the best thing to ever happen to me. He helped me realize exactly what I was missing out on and how to get everything I ever wanted without having all those obstacles in the way. Last night I opened up to him in ways I never had with Tori, and it felt amazing.
I walk over to my locker, covered in scissors that need to be sharpened soon, and throw my book bag in haphazardly. I don't have time for books and I'm skipping all my classes, I need to go find recruits to help Beck and I with what we discussed last night.
As I slam my locker shut I notice Tori staring at me from the corner of her eye, trying to look nonchalant and uncaring. Perfect.
I begin to strut up to her locker, confident as the crowds' part for me. Her shoulders begin to tense up as I walk closer. I can't help but smile, knowing my presence puts her so on edge. "Hey there," I say, leaning against a well-styled locker with the words R.I.P.
"Hey Jade," says Tori nervously. She's on edge and still nervous about her crying yesterday.
"I need to talk to you," I state.
"I kind of have to go to class," she says weakly. I glance at the clock. There's still ten more minutes until then and Tori's next class is two steps down the hall.
"That's fine," I say coolly. "Meet me at our groups' table during third period?"
"I don't…"
"I know you don't have classes then so you better come, and I don't want to hear any excuses." I can tell Tori wants to say something but before she can I turn on my heel and waltz away. I feel good.
#What'sJadeUpTo?
How long has it been? I look down my watch. Jesus, iIt's been ten seconds since I'd last checked. She should've been here two minutes ago! My palms begin to sweat and I can feel the anxiety creep up on me. I look over to Beck whose on the other side of the balcony above the cafeteria. He gives me an affirmative and a reassuring smile, "She will come," he promised. I can feel an nervous freshman with incredible vocals, not as good as Tori's or mine or course, move against me as we patiently wait for Tori to appear. My foot begins to tap and I have the sudden urge to pull out my scissors, call it quits, and just slaughter everybody here. I refrain. I need to wait for Tori
It's another minute later when I see her. She walks in towards our table and looks around curiously. I scrunch down behind a guardrail, trying to keep my presence relatively unknown for the time being. She sits down, her skinny jeans clenching tight around her body, and I can't help but lick my lips. I make her wait a few seconds, looking around curiously, thinking perhaps I stood her up, before I get up, grab the mike, and shout out, "Tori Vega!" Her head shoots up and she spots me. Her jaw drops as she sees me wearing a short, turquoise dress that shows off my legs with a microphone in my hand.
The rest of the cafeteria look up, wondering what awful thing I'm going to do to Tori Vega now. I can read their lips, "Will she read her diary aloud?" "What's Jade doing up there?" "Tori's a goner."
I smile, "My name is Jade West. I love scissors. I love blood. I love black coffee, no sugar." My eye catches Tori. She's leaving, time to speed this along. "However," I declare really loudly and pointedly so that Tori will stop. She does. "There is one thing in this world I absolutely love and adore and if you ever fuck with me about it I will ends you." I pause for dramatic effect. Tori stares deep into my eyes, I know what she wants me to say and there's no way I'm saying anything else. "Tori Vega, I love you, and I'm sorry it took me so long to say this. I've messed up a lot but I think I've finally managed to get my head and heart working in sync. This is for you."
You're on the phone with your girlfriend ‒ she's upset,
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do.
I'm in the room it's a typical Tuesday night.
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like.
And she'll never know your story like I do.
But she wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time.
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you.
Been here all along.
So, why can't you see
You belong with me,
You belong with me?
Walking the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be.
Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself,
"Hey, isn't this easy?"
And you've got a smile
That can light up this whole town.
I haven't seen it in awhile
Since she brought you down.
You say you're fine I know you better than that.
Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels,
I wear sneakers.
She's cheer captain,
And I'm on the bleachers.
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time.
If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you,
Been here all along.
So, why can't you see
You belong with me?
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor.
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with me,
You belong with me?
Oh, I remember you were driving to my house
In the middle of the night.
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're 'bout to cry.
I know your favorite songs,
And you tell me about your dreams.
Think I know where you belong,
Think I know it's with me.
Can't you see
That I'm the one
Who understands you?
Been here all along.
So, why can't you see ‒
You belong with me?
Standing by and waiting at your backdoor.
All this time how could you not know, baby
You belong with me,
You belong with me?
You belong with me.
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me.
Her face is emotionless. I can't read her. I can't tell what she's thinking. All I know is that I'm panting and that I really hope she says yes to what I'm about to ask. "I know that I've fucked things up and your with somebody else but I know what we have is real and true and pure and we're meant to be. Tori Vega, will you please be my girlfriend, because I don't know what I'd do if you said no."
She stands there silently, the entire cafeteria has there eyes on her to see what her response is. Seconds turn into minutes, minutes turn into hours, and hours turn into days. She's not saying anything. She's not smiling. The only thing I can see is a soft and silent tear run down her cheek. She looks up at me and I know what's about to happen. She runs.
#WhatNow?
I know there was practically nothing in this chapter but next chapter is all the drama and explanations and stuff and it will be better and longer and happily ever after.
