The two danced around for a little while longer, but they eventually fell to the ground in a fit of laugher. Tori couldn't stop giggling at what this friendship has become; dancing around the room as a way of comfort.

Jade smiled over at her, happy that Tori seemed to have forgotten the whole reason she came over.

"I don't even know anymore," Tori admitted with a crooked smile.

Jade laughed. "Yeah, I kind of liked it though." Then she smirked and continued, "Don't tell anyone 'bout this though, or you're dead, Vega."

Tori smirked back and replied, "Aw come on, West, you love me."

Jade rolled her eyes and playfully shot back, "You? No way."

Tori shoved her, so Jade rolled over and laughed. "Rude," Tori complained with a smile. She then layed on the floor beside Jade, holding her hand loosely.

Jade looked at her, but said nothing.

Jade's POV

Tori's smile slowly faded from her face. I hate seeing her sad. It makes me feel, and I don't like it! "Vega..." I trailed off, not knowing how to talk to her. She just looked at me and said nothing. "Vega...," I started again, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you before," I spit out before I could stop myself. Tori raised an eyebrow at me, so I assumed that she didn't know what I meant. "I mean, I was always so annoying towards you, and if I would've know..." Tori cut me off by pressing her finger to my lips. Normally I hate when people did that, but I let her for the sake of this situation.

"You're here now, that's all I care about. Why don't we just leave the past behind us?"

I looked at her, bewildered. Did she just forgive me for all those times I put her down?

no one's POV

The room stayed in a comfortable silence after Tori had said that.

Jade didn't know how to reply, so she just pointed up to her bed and asked, "You tired?"

Tori nodded with a yawn.

Jade smiled, got up, grabbed some extra pajamas for her friend, then offered Tori her hand.

Tori grabbed it and was pulled to her feet. "Change. Then we can..." Jade hesitated with her offer, then decided it was for the best. "-cuddle and talk."

Tori laughed slightly and excepted the pajamas.

When Tori came back with pajamas on, Jade was already lounging on her bed, waiting for her so they could talk. She walked over to the side of the bed Jade wasn't and got in, her back to Jade.

Jade came up behind Tori and wrapped her arms around her waist, hooking her chin over her shoulder.

Tori leaned back against her chest, sighing softly.

"I'm here; I'm here for you now." Jade comforted whispered in her ear comfortingly

Tori shuddered at her warm breath against her ear. "Thank you, for everything."

Jade nodded slightly and tightened her grip on Tori's middle.

"I love you Jade," Tori whispered right before she drifted off to sleep.

Jade's eyes widened, but she soon relaxed again. She gently kissed Tori's cheek and whispered, "Goodnight Tori." She waited a few minutes, then continued, "I... I love you too."
