Hey guys. I'm back! Sorry this took so long. I was having a hard time writing from Tori's perspective. She's a lot nicer than I'm used to writing. Anyways I hope you like it! Please leave reviews if you can. I'd love to hear em :) Also I've been reviewing all of my documents for typos and there arent any when I save them but then when I read through once they're published they appear? haha sorry about that
I DO NOT OWN VICTORIOUS
We need to talk
Tori stares at her phone as Jade's message glares back at her. It's insane how badly she wants to go and hear her out but she knows that for once in her life she has to be strong. She has let too many people hurt her. This time she was getting out before she even flinched.
Screw you.
She drops her phone into her bag and puts her head on the desk. She doesn't move until the bell rings. She grabs her things and walks solemnly to her locker. Jade is waiting there for her and Tori's stomach is going insane. She has to stand her ground.
"Vega, listen-"She starts.
"No. There's nothing you could possibly say to fix this." And with that she turned on her heel and headed to the parking lot. Today was too much for her. She opened her glove compartment and popped 2 of her anxiety pills into her mouth.
"Why are you rubbing my boyfriend!?" a feminine voice with crushing power flies over the room and I wonder what the fuck I just got myself into. Turning I see her standing there with her arms crossed over her chest, pale and Goth with curves like a godsend. How badly I wished I had spilled coffee on her.
I've known I was gay since 8th grade. Well I mean, I always knew I liked girls but I didn't know there was a name for it until then. I was never ashamed of it. Not until my parents found out.
I was so excited to tell them about her. Nicki was soft and gentle. Her lips tasted like cinnamon. But when I told them that we were dating, I had to switch schools. I really didn't think they'd care. They aren't religious or anything. My dad hated it the most. He said it was disgusting.
So instead I kiss boys that taste like smoke and treat me badly. I'm hoping that one day I'll fall for one of them the way I fell for Jade but none of them smell like her. A part of me was still hoping she'd glance my way with that look in her eyes that said she felt it too but her hands and eyes are always glued to Beck.
I tried. I really did. I thought I could live with being her friend but even that was impossible. Part of me thought that maybe just maybe she was hiding some sliver of human decency in her soul. I was wrong. So. Fucking. Wrong.
I hear the bell ring across the parking lot and I decide I might as well go to lunch. Cat should be able to lift my mood with her talk of her movie make up class. Walking towards the café I can feel my anxiety meds starting to work. I'm praying I can make it through the day without a panic attack.
"Tori you missed it!" Cat squeals as I approach the table. Andre is having a laughing fit and Robbie looks terrified. "Sinjin was trying to hit on the buff new girl and she kicked him off the balcony!" Cat's eyes got wide and she covered her mouth.
"I'm okay!" I heard behind me. Sinjin is sprawled out on his back waving a thumb up in the air. I drop my bag laughing and go get a burrito and fries from Festus. I get caught in a small conversation in line and when I return the whole atmosphere has changed. Jade is sitting next to my things stabbing her salad.
"Cat was sitting there." I say coldly.
"And now she's not." Jade deadpans.
I roll my eyes and sit down next to her. The table is still silent. Everyone is picking at their food quietly, not even looking at each other.
"Okay what's going on?" I ask Andre. Robbie and Cat look at each other with terror in their eyes before jumping up to leave. "Jade and Beck broke up so now we all have to suffer." He whispers to me. Jade gives him a look and he puts his hands up but then she just laughs bitterly while Beck eats.
"Uh... okay. What are you doing for the Halloween Song Special?"
"You'll see chica. But I am gonna need some background dancers so I might let you in on it a little sooner." He winks at me before stuffing some fries into his mouth.
I feel Jade's boot hit my foot. I didn't say anything as Beck and Andre kick started a conversation about some new action movie 'Kick Punch'. She kicked me again but softer and her boot lingered against mine. I kicked it and went back to my lunch.
But then Jade's hand was on my thigh. I jumped up quickly and grabbed my things before running off. I heard the boys calling my name but I continued speed walking to the bathroom. My phone went off.
I told you we needed to talk.
Butterflies exploded through my body. God dammit, I can't let her win. I can't let her control me. "This could only end badly." I told myself.
Jade. Leave me the fuck alone.
Send.
Hopefully one day I'll really want her to.
Jade looked at her phone. Tori's words flashed in front of her. The world was dripping and melting and her skin felt tight. She was feeling a hundred different things. She didn't know how to apologize but she was afraid that now she wouldn't even get the chance to learn.
