Chapter 32

Cotton Candy & Bubble Gum

[Cat's POV]

I woke up to the smell of a home cooked breakfast coming through the vents of Jade and I's room. I stretched as I looked over to see her spot empty before sitting up, swinging my legs over the bed and sliding my feet in my house shoes.

I made my way to our bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face before leaving our room and making my way down the hall and downstairs.

In the kitchen stood Jade with her arms crossed and a smirk on her lips as she leaned against the counter beside the stove. "Good Morning Love." She said as her smirk turned into a heartwarming smile.

"Um, good morning Jade."

"Here." She said as reached behind her and handed me a plate full of eggs, turkey bacon, pancakes, hash browns, and biscuits with gravy.

I took the plate from her as I looked at her with suspicion and confusion. Jade never cooks. So why would she do all this this morning?

"Why the ugly face?" She asked as her smile disappeared.

"I just….um….thanks Jade."

Her smile returned before she reached behind her and grabbed her own plate and gestured to the kitchen table.

I took a seat as well as her right cross from me. I picked up a fork that had clearly been sat out for me as I took a small bite.

"Do you like it?"

I just nodded as I took another bite.

"You don't seem like it?" She said as she put her own fork down and crossed her arms on the table.

"No, no babe I do, it's just…..wow. You've never really do this…so, thanks. It's really good and really kind of you to do."

"I love you Cat. I need you to know that."

"I know you love me Jade. I love you to-"

"-No Cat. I love you. I'm in love with you."

I just nodded. "I know Jade."

"And you love me too right?"

"Yes, of course I love you." I said as I turned all my attention to her.

"You love me as much as I love you? Are you in love with me?"

"Yes Jade."

"You wouldn't leave me would you Cat?"

"No babe, ever."

"I can't live without you. You are all I have." She said in a lower voice, one that sounded as if she wanted to cry but her face didn't really show any emotion. It was almost straight.

"I know Jade. I wouldn't ever leave you. I'm here." I sighed. She must be having an episode where she thinks nobody in the world loves her but me. She thinks if I weren't here she'd die, that she couldn't go on.

Jade just needs some friends. She refuses to talk to anyone from our past and meeting someone new is out of the question.

"You wouldn't leave me for Tori would you?"

"Baby no! I would never do that. You're the only one for me."

"So are you mad at Tori?"

"What for?"

"For kissing you!" She yelled this time making me jump knocking my silverware off of the table.

I gulped as I nodded.

"Then never talk to her again! Because you hate her now and I'm the only one for you."

"Jade, really…I don't think Tori kissed me because she likes me or something. I just….I have a feeling is was for something else so you don't even have to worry about anything."

"Are you stupid!? Of course she kissed you because she likes you! What other reason would there be!? She wants to take you from me like she did Beck! She wants everyone to her fucking self away from me! What have I ever done to her Cat!? Yeah I was mean to her in high school, so what, that's just me! I never broke her heart though! Everyone just likes to see me hurt! Especially Tori Vega! She can't have you Cat! I'm not going to let her! You're all that I have left! And she can't have that! She can't!" Jade yelled as small tears formed in her eyes.

I watched as she hit the table hard with her fist before she stood up and stormed towards the pantry.

I watched as she randomly pulled down some cotton candy and opened it up.

"Eat this." She said pulling out a piece of the fluffy treat.

I looked at her with confused eyes. "But..but why-"

"-Eat it!"

I didn't ask again as I stood up and walked over to take the cotton candy from her. I stuck it in my mouth and let it melt away before she handed me another piece and then another. She finally closed the bag up before reaching into her back pocket and pulling out a pack of flavored bubble gum.

"Chew this."

This time I didn't question as I took the gum from her and chewed on it for a minute as she watched me the whole time. I don't know why she's making me do this, but I trust Jade. So I do what she tells me to do.

"Spit it out." She said as she held out her hand after about 3 minutes of me chewing and I did.

Right after the gum fell into her hand she leaned down and smashed her lips to mine before taking over and jamming her tongue into my mouth without permission but that's okay. I kissed back with as much power and force as she was kissing me and after what seemed like an eternity of kissing she pulled back and headed for the front door front door with me following behind.

"I'm not going to let her have you." She said simply as she grabbed her keys and opened the front door.

"Jade wait! Where are you going!?"

"Finish your breakfast I'll be right back." She said as she hopped into her car, started it and sped off.

"Oh no." I said as closed the door and sprinted up the stairs to my room literally knocking Italy to the floor on the way.

"Oh my god Italy!" I yelled as I got down beside her. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, are you okay!?" I said as I put one hand to her small stomach and the other one to her face.

She just chuckled as she sat up. "I'm fine. My butt caught me. Why are you running anyways?"

I grabbed her arms and pulled her to her feet. "I have to make a quick phone call sorry, I didn't mean to knock you down. There's breakfast downstairs, I'll be back down in a minute." I said as I finished my sprint to my room without listening to any comments from her.

I quickly grabbed my phone and dialed the number.

RING, RING, RING, RING, RING, RING,

"Hello you've reached-"

CLICK

"NO!"

RING, RING, RING

"Hello?"

"Tori!"

"Cat! Cat I'm so sorry! I-"

"Tori run! Go somewhere, leave the house!"

"..What? Why?"

"I think Jade is coming! I don't want her to hurt you Tori! Please go!"

"What do you mean she's comin-"

"Tori! GO NOW! What don't you understand!? Listen and leave!"

"Cat I'm not afraid of Jade anymore. It's okay. I'll just call the police if she shows up."

"NO! Don't call the police on her Tori! Ugh! Just leave! Jade's dangerous Tori!"

"Hasn't she always been? She can't be that dangerous, you're staying with her. Why don't you just leave Cat?"

"Oh my fucking god! This is not about me right now! Leave!"

"It is about you. Cat, I can really help you, please just-"

"Ughhhh! You don't listen Tori! Bye!"

I hit the end call button before throwing my phone across the room and dropping to the floor. I brought my knees to my chest as I sat in an upwards ball and just cried.

I know for a fact Jade is going to Tori's but I don't know what she plans on doing to her and Tori won't freaking listen! I hope she doesn't hurt her. God I hope she doesn't hurt her, but there's nothing I can do now.

[Tori's POV]

I sat in my room with my phone clenched in my hand as Cat's words kept ringing in my ears.

I mean….Jade can't do anything to me. She can't even get into the house unless I let her in. We have security all aroundand everything is locked. So even if she does happen to get in the police will be here in a split second. I don't have to be afraid of Jade.

Right?

RING, RING, RING

"Hello?" Beck whispered into the phone.

"Hey, I know you just left for the library, but can you come home?"

He gave a huge sigh. "Tori, do you need to talk to the librarian? Do you really believe I'm out cheating on you or something?"

"No! No, no it's not that, it's just….I'm a little scared here alone."

He chuckled. "Kaylee & Monica should be back from Trina's anytime now."

"No they won't! It's like 10 in the morning. They'll be there all day."

"Aww little Torro is scared of being in a big house all by her little bitty self?" He mocked.

"Watch it."

He laughed. "Babe I'll be home in a little while. You'll be fine. Just text me."

I just nodded into the phone before giving a verbal okay and hanging up.

I mean there's nothing to worry about…

I took a breath and let it out to calm myself as I made sure everything was secure up stairs and then moved down. I checked the back door and then the front before looking out of the window to see kids playing and cars passing by as a smile spread across my face at the view.

"Nice view right?"

Everything moving thing inside me froze as all my blood felt as if it were drained from my body. A wave of tremendous fear took over me as I struggled to remember how to breathe. I closed my eyes tight hoping I would wake up and it was a dream but it was short lived as I felt nails digging into my arm and spinning me around roughly before throwing me hard against my front door.

"Open your fucking eyes!" She yelled and I obeyed.

Another wave of fear took over me as I looked into her dark green eyes that were on fire in a distance. She used her own body to hold me against the door and I couldn't move.

"How'd you get in here?" I said in shaky fearful tone and that's all that I could say because that's all my mind was trying to worry about, when in reality there's over 1000 things I should be worried about when I'm in Jade West's presence.

"That's not the key issue." She said as she pressed her body against me harder causing my back to push into the doorknob.

"What do you want Jade?" I asked this time almost at the verge of tears. I admit it. I'm scared for my life.

All of a sudden she pulled out the biggest pair of scissors I've ever seen. I watched her break them in half before bringing one of the sharp blades to my neck.

"J…Jade."

"Shhhh." She whispered as she slowly and lightly slid the blade across my neck before stopping at the over side. "I should really cut you and kill you with this Vega."

"J,jade I'm s,sorry." As a tear fell from my eye.

"What? No way?" She stated sarcastically. "Tori, Tori, Tori, did you like the taste of my wife?"

"Jade.."

"Did you?"

"N,no."

"Or were you just trying to find out if Cat really tasted like cotton candy and bubble gum?"

I just shook my head as more tears fell from my eyes as she started to push the blade harder to my neck.

"I taste like Cat. I just got done kissing her this morning. Want to taste?" She said as she brought her lips inches from mine.

I just closed my eyes tight as I turned away from her slightly accidently cutting myself in the process from the blade on my neck.

"See Vega, you did that. Now stop moving. You liked the taste of my wife so much, here you can taste her again right now." She said as she brought her lips to mine softly.

My lips trembled against her as I cried softly.

"Oh well c'mon Vega, you wanted her so bad then, what's the difference now? I haven't eaten anything or kissed anyone else since I kissed her, I promise."

She then firmly placed her lips onto mine and that's when I choked up as I started to cry harder.

She pulled back slightly. "Why are you so upset? I'm giving you what you want for free. This is what you wanted right? To taste Cat? To have Cat? I'm the closest thing to her. You can just pretend I'm her."

"N… Jade…I'm sorry."

"A little late for that. Now taste her." She said before smashing her lips to mine again. I felt her tongue swipe across my trembling lips but I didn't open. I pushed away from her as much as I could before she pulled back and smacked the door behind me loudly.

"Why are you pulling back!? You didn't pull back from my wife! You're getting what you wanted Vega! Now take it or else!" She screamed before smashing her lips to mine again and this time I kissed her back and not because I want to but because I had no choice. She has a blade against my neck, I don't need to take anymore chances. Because knowing Jade, she will use it.

She swiped her tongue against my lip once again and this time I let her in. Her tongue met mine softly as mine stayed put and she made a growling sound at my unresponsive actions so I kissed back. I let my tongue move around hers in a slow kiss as tears fell from my eyes and my body trembled and finally she pulled back.

"So?" She lifted a brow at me and I had no idea what she meant.

"s… what?"

"What do I taste Vega!? Like my wife?"

I closed my mouth and I can't even lie, she taste like bubble gum and cotton candy, but I wouldn't know what Cat tasted like. I barley even kissed her. I just gave her a small peak on her lips, that was all.

"I…I don't know Jade…I…barely even kissed her-"

"-BULLSHIT!"

She said as she removed the blade and threw me to the floor before getting on top of me.

"You stay the hell away from my wife Vega I swear to god if I ever hear that you were around her again, I will, and I mean I will kill you. That's not a threat and it's not a promise, it's reality. You will be dead. Do you understand me?"

I just nodded because that's all I could do before she removed herself from me.

I sat up and touched my neck which was bleeding slightly from a small cut as I watched her pick up both blades, fix her clothes, smirk at me, and exit the house and that's when the alarm spoke stating that it is now "armed."

Millions of tears came to my eyes as I sat there by the door and cried. I debated whether or not calling the cops and chose maybe not calling them would be the best thing to do. If Jade ended up in jail, it would be the end of me. She would find a way to get me back. I can't have that happen. I also debated on whether or not to tell my husband, which I also will not, because he will call the cops and the cycle starts over.

I should have listened to Cat and left the house. I don't know why I didn't. I can't…I can't believe that just happened. Did that just happen?

I sighed as I wiped my tears and stood up.

I wonder if this is what she does to Cat? If she threatens her everyday with knives and maybe even a gun. Cat's life is in so much danger. I can only imagine what she has to go through everyday living with Jade, and Jade probably threatened to kill her if she left that is why Cat won't leave.

I have to save my best friend somehow. She's stuck in a abusive relationship and I know she wants out, she's just to blind to see how much she wants out.

I'm going to save her…I just have to figure out how…..
