"I've got soup" Tori cheered, lifting up the can of chicken soup she was holding.
"What do you want?" Jade snapped.
"I've come to look after you"
"Why?"
"Because I heard you were ill"
"I don't need looking after" Jade sighed, clutching onto the door.
"It looks like you can hardly stand" Tori observed.
"I'm fine" Jade replied, trying to shut the door.
"Just let me in Jade"
"No"
"Just let me make you some soup and then i'll leave" Tori reasoned.
"Fine, but thats it" Jade gave up, leaving the door and stumbling over to the sofa. Tori entered and shut the door behind her. Walking towards the kitchen she noticed Jade laying on the sofa with her eyes closed.
"Go upstairs. I'll bring it up then you can sleep" Tori said, grabbing a saucepan and placing it on the stove.
"I don't need your help Vega"
"Just do it" Tori snapped. Jade sighed and stood up.
"I'm going to my room because I want to" She muttered, climbing the stairs. Tori rolled her eyes and proceeded to pour the soup into the saucepan. After about 10 minutes the soup was done and poured into a bowl. Tori grabbed the bowl of soup, a spoon and a cup of coffee - black, two sugars - and placed them on a tray before making her way up to Jades room. Tori had only ever been in Jades room once before so the jars filled with weird things that were scattered around the room didn't really disturb her as much as last time. Looking over to the bed she noticed a sleeping Jade curled up in a ball in the middle of the bed. Tori's heart swelled and her lips twitched upwards into a smile. Placing the tray on the bedside table, Tori leaned over the bed and shock Jade gently trying to wake her up. Nothing.
"Jade" Tori shouted, shaking the sleeping girl rougher.
"What?!" Jade shrieked, grabbing a pair of scissors from under her pillow and thrusting them in Tori's direction. Tori jumped back and shrieked, falling off the bed and onto the floor with a bump.
"Ouch" Tori moaned, rubbing her elbow.
"Vega" Jade scowled.
"Jade. Why'd you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Try to kill me" Tori shrieked.
"I wouldn't have killed you" Jade said. "Stop being dramatic"
"Why thanks. That's nice to know" Tori replied, sarcastically.
"What are you doing here?"
"Making soup"
"Where is it?"
"There" Tori replied, pointing to the tray on the bedside table. Jade gabbed the coffee and gulped it down - ignoring the burning sensation she felt in her throat. She put the cup back down and grabbed the bowl of soup and spoon. Tori layed down on her next to Jade. Once Jade had finished eating she placed the empty bowl and the spoon on the tray beside her. She layed down on her back and sighed.
"You can go now Vega"
"I'm not going anywhere"
"What do you mean you're not going anywhere?" Jade asked, turning to face her.
"I mean what I say. I'm not leaving you. You're ill and I'm not going to leave you alone"
"I'm fine" Jade said.
"You sure?" Tori asked, not sounding too sure.
"I'm absolutely fine Vega" Jade insisted.
"Okay, I'll go but I'll come and see you tomorrow"
"Okay Vega. I'll be fine"
"Just call me if you need me"
"Stop worrying"
"Just make sure you call me if you ne-" Tori started but was cut off by Jade running from her room into the bathroom. Tori could hear Jade vommiting.
"Jade. Are you okay?" Troi asked, her voice wavering.
"Yeah... I'm fine..." Jade replied through gagging. Tori walked into the room to find Jade on her knees in front of the toilet. Her hands were clutching the side of it as she emptied out the contents of her stomach. Tori walked forward and kneeled down beside her, grabbing her hair and moving it out of the way. After a couple more minutes Jade stopped gagging and sat back with her back against the wall. Tori moved to sit behind her and eloped her in a hug. She stroked her hair.
"You feeling better?" Tori asked, letting Jade go.
"I think so" Jade said. Tori wiped Jades forehead of the sweat that had formed.
"Let's get you back to bed" Troi said, sanding up and reached her arm out - her palm facing upwards. Jade reached out and clutched her hand, hauling herself up. Tori wrapped her arm around Jade's waist and supported her until she was laying back on her bed.
"You feeling okay?"
"Yeah. I'm just gonna sleep now" Jade replied, yawning.
"I'm going to go now but I'll come and check on you in the morning" Tori promised walking towards the bedroom door.
"Wait" Tori turned around.
"Yeah?"
"Stay with me for the night?" Jade whispered.
"Sure." Her lips twitched up into a smile.
"Thanks"
"Can I borrow some sweats then?" Tori asked.
"Bottom drawer" Jade said, laying on her back. Tori opened the drawer and grabbed an old Beatles band T-shirt and some black sweats. She peeled her clothes off and slipped into the more comfortable ones. Jade's eyes were drawn to the young half-latinas body as she removed the clothes and stepped into the new ones. Tori walked towards the light switch before switching the light off and climbing under the covers next to Jade. Both girls layed in silence, neither of them wanting to sleep.
"Thanks" Jade whispered.
"For what?"
"For helping me today"
"It's fine, just get some sleep and you'll feel better in the morning"
"Can I ask you something?" Jade asked.
"Sure. What is it?"
"Can we cuddle?" Jade asked. Tori didn't reply. Jade was unable to see the smile on the young latinas face in the darkness. "It helps me sleep" she revealed.
"Course" Tori smiled. She layed her left arm towards Jade. Jade scooted across the bed and layed against Tori. Her head was on the young girls chest and her arm was drapped across her her waist. Tori wrapped her arm and around the goths waist and pulled her closer.
"Night Jade"
"Night Vega"
A/N: Hey guys. I'm not sure if this is any good but I spent a couple of hours on this. I wasn't sure whether I should have made this a Jori friendship or relationship so I stuck with staying inbetween.

Also I meant to update this at like 1am this morning but it wouldn't let me :( Anyway... Bye :)
