Heyy Guys! :D
I have to admit that I am completely loving the fact that I have created a character which has split my readers views. Yes Half of you love Dani and the other half hate her!
Anyway thats enough from me :)

Keep reviewing! :D!
I had spent a good five minutes standing on Andre's door step before I had knocked; five minutes in which a battle had taken place in my mind. Could I really deny who I was in order to give Tori the respect she deserved? The answer seemed so simple, of course Tori is worth more than my pride. When I finally worked up the courage to knock, it was Dani who answered, my already blurry emotions catapulted in separate directions; who am I doing this for? For Tori or for Dani? Would Tori really not understand if I were to approach it my own way? I guess that there is only one way I could get an answer to that question, and as Dani and Andre left the room; I was faced with the decision: plead of fight.
As I approached her slowly my nerves increased and my mouth dried up. Once directly in front of her I dropped to my knees so that I was at her level, and pushed the flowers towards her. It's now or never, I thought to myself. Waves of self hatred jolted through me as I heard the pitiful pleads fall from my mouth. This isn't me, Jade West does not beg. Yet still I continued; my eyes trained to the floor the entire time; how could I possibly hold eye contact with her when every word falling out of my mouth is so insincere?
"Why won't you look at me Jade" Her voice sounds more angry than upset.
Something inside me snapped. I have lowered the standards I set for myself; I am on my knees pleading for forgiveness. I am begging. Yet she is angry, what the fuck? Everything Dani had said vacated my mind. All guilt seemed to vanish, why should I apologise for who I am. A fire seemed to have been re lit within my body as I raised my head; my eyes seeking out hers and locking at the point of contact.
"Fuck this." I hissed as I jumped to my feet. "You know what Vega, I actually am sorry for upsetting you, but that is it. Sure going to Beck doesn't look good, but it happened and I can't change that. The fact remains however that I looked for you first!" Her face is scrunched in confusion and her head is slowly starting to hang, "Don't you dare sit and stare at your lap, look at me!" Her head snaps back up and she looks ready to speak, but I cut her off; "Don't you dare have the audacity to tell me to look at you and then look away yourself." I pause briefly as she raises her gaze to mine once more.
"I looked for you Tori, it took me all of about twenty minutes to realise I wanted you, hell I needed you there. And yes it was my fault, yes I sent you away, but none the less you weren't there, and I needed someone. I was with him two years Tori. Two fucking years! He has been an unbelievable arsehole recently, but in those two years we built up trust, in those two years he saw me at my most vulnerable, for those two years he was my rock. I needed you; but I settled for him; I couldn't be alone. Can't you see that?"
"Jade-" She started, but I knew that if I let her speak then that would be it for my speech; and there was still more I needed to say.
"Just let me finish will you? Let me say my piece, and then I will be more than happy to walk away if that is what you want." She nods slightly and I take that as a sign to continue. "Never have I proclaimed to be perfect. Not once have I tried to come across as anything that I am not. Not once till tonight, I got on my knees for you Tori, I begged for fuck sake. And I felt dirty! So dirty, inside. That isn't me. I can't be a perfect girlfriend, and I am incapable of being the wonderful girl you deserve. I make wrong decisions more times that right ones. I will always be jealous; uncontrollably so. I will never completely stop being paranoid about your previous lovers. And when I am hurt, or angry or whatever I will direct it at people who do not deserve it." I turn around and pace away from her running my hand through my hair as I do so, before turning to face her once more. "But despite all of that, I will love you. Love you so fiercely; I will protect you against anything that could possibly hurt you. I would fucking die for you Tori! You are the one person who could potentially ruin my life, ok? I will try to share more with you because I know that is what you need. But hell you have to give me time to learn to do that. Opening up isn't something that is easy for me."
I let out a deep breath as my words trail off and looking up I can see a pool of tears in her eyes, her teeth digging deeply into her bottom lip. I stand my ground waiting for her response, my heart is pounding against my chest, and my hands are sweating. I watch as she rises to her feet, I witness her exhale deeply. Slowly her arms raise, her hands wiggle in my direction. A great weight that had been hanging over me lifted. I'm not sure who takes the first step, all awareness faded from me as we melted into each other's arms, as our lips crashed together in a frenzy. Time escapes us; It could have been hours, or mere seconds before she broke away.
"I never needed you to be perfect. I needed you to be the girl I fell for. Whether you meant to or not, you have just said all of the right things. Jade West; I love you so much."
