Use Somebody
It's been almost four years since Jade had physically seen Tori, and over four months since she had last talked to her. Now, she was ready to face the love of her life after months of dissappearing. Yes, she knew she had alot of explaining to do, but she was determined to do whatever it took to get Tori to forgive her. Jade knew that it would be tough, and she wasn't expecting for Tori to just come back running to her arms. She didn't even know if Tori was with someone or not. If she was, Jade was willing to let the half latina go and let her be happy. She just needed to do this.
After arriving from the LAX airport in the morning, she pulled out her phone and texted the one person who would help her at least a little bit despite everything that happened: Hey, it's Jade. Listen Andre, I know it's been a while and you might hate me, but I left for a reason. I need your help though. Can I come over? She waited for a few minutes for her phone to vibrate with a message from Andre: You got a lot of explaining to do West. But whatever, you were my best friend some time ago, so come over. She sighed in relief and got into a taxi that was waiting for. After giving Andre's adress to the taxi driver, she stuck her earphones on and listened to some music to calm her nerves.
"Ms. We're here already." The driver said while tapping her knee. She pulled her earphones off, payed the cab, and grabbed her bags. Feeling a new wave of nervousness hiting her again, she began to think if this was a good idea after all. 'Of course it is. I'm doing this for Tori.' She thought. She pulled her bags with her and made her way to Andre's fancy house. Hesitating a little at the door, she knocked three times and waited for the door to be answered.
A few seconds of waiting Jade could hear someone approach from the other side of the door opened and Jade was greeted by Andre. He pulled her in for a hug, obviously surprising the girl since she thought he's punch her or something. "I know what you're thinking West. Why I didn't punch you or something instead of hugging you? You were my best friend for four years. I've missed you. But now comes the punch." He said and punched her on the arm. She only smirked softly while rubbing her arm. "It's good to see you too Andre." She said. He stepped aside and helped her carry her bags in. Once they settled her things in a room, they both went into the living room and sat on the sofas across to each other. "Before you say anything, I want you to know I texted Tori telling her you came back." Jade looked at him wide eyed and practically shouted out, "what?! Why would you do that?! I didn't want her to know yet!" Andre looked at her with a blank expression and waited till she sat back down. "She has the right to know you know? And you can't get mad at me for telling her. Just because I'm letting you stay here, might I add is a terrible idea, doesn't mean I'm not mad at you... Cause I am."
"I know, I know. I promise I'll explain to you why I left... why I left Tori, but firtst, I really need you to help me with something." Andre looked at Jade with a cautious gaze until finally giving in. "Fine. What do you want me to do?" He asked. Jade gave him a thankful smile and sat up on the couch. "I need you to help me get Tori alone so I can talk to her. I know her. She'll be too upset to want to listen to me on her own. You're the only one who can help me." "Why me? Why not Robbie? or Cat-" "Cat hates me Andre. We both know it. I'm pretty sure the others dislike me too. Please Andre." Andre stays quiet for a while as he mulls over what he should do. He looks over to Jade and sees a look he's never seen on her, except for when she only told him that she was leaving. She was wearing that same pleading and torn look she had last time.
-FB-
"Andre, keep an eye out on Tori for me please." Jade said as she packed her clothes. Andre was doing his best to talk her out of leaving and trying to figure out why she was leaving in the first place. "But Jade, why are you leaving?" Jade stopped backing and took a breath. Still having her back towards him, she only said, "Cause I might not be able to be with her in the future. I just need to go or I'll never get better." "Get better? What could you possibly need to better yourself Jade? Come on girl! You can't just leave me like this. You can't leave our friends without a reason or an explanation. You can't leave Tori, Jade. It'll break you're heart. This last year and a half you've been pushing all of us away... and you haven't been looking like your usual self. What's wrong girl? You can tell me." Jade ignored him as she finished packing. She gathered her bags and pushed past him and rushed out of the room and downstairs but was stopped with someone grabbing her wrist when she was opening the door. "Why are you doing this Jade?" Andre asked. "Let me go Andre! I can't waist anymore time! I have a plane to catch! I really need to be on time... I don't know if I have much time left... Just please promise me you'll always watch over Tori." was all she said before giving Andre a vulnerable look and he reluctantly let her hand go and she walked out of the house, and out of all their lives.
"Okay. I can see how torn you are Jade... so I'll help you... but you better tell me why you left after you talk to Tori! Man she's gonna hate me for doing this." He sighed and reached for his phone to text Tori telling her to come over tomorrow. A few minutes later she responded. Why? He looked at Jade one more time before responding: I need to talk to you. They waited for a few seconds until he received another message and Jade peeked over his shoulder to see what it said. Jade won't be there right? I don't think I can take seeing her. At least not yet. It's too soon Andre. He looked at Jade questioningly and she glared at him. "Andre, you said you'd help! Please!" He looked at his phone and back at her and looked a bit troubled. "But she doesn't want to see you yet West! Why don't you just wait some time?" "Because I need to talk to her NOW! Give me the phone Andre!" She said and reached to take his phone but he reacted faster and darted off the sofa. Jade chased him around the living room until she tackled him to the floor and managed to take his phone. She quickly responded to Tori's message and gave Andre back his phone with a victorious smirk. "Hah! You're still a little weak ass!" She chuckled. Andre simply grunted as he sat up and looked at the message Jade had sent. I promise she isn't here. I told her she couldn't stay. I've been working on some new music that I want you to hear. It needs to be tomorrow though because I'll be leaving to New York for some meetings in two days. I'll be gone for about a week or so. "Really? You going to use that excuse? I don't go to New York in two days. I go in three days!" Jade only smirked at him. They both looked at the phone when it rang again. Okay. I'll be there around 11. "Well looks like you got what you wanted. Now what do you want me to do when she does come?" "Okay, here's what you're going to do..."
Tori's POV
After Andre's first text, telling her Jade was here, Tori panicked. Not knowing what else to do, she called Cat. "Cat, I know I hurt you right now... but can you please come? It's Jade." She heard Cat moving around right when she said Jade's name. "Where are you?" was all Cat asked. "In the studio working on some music." "Kay. I'll be there shortly." Cat said before ending the call. The minute Tori said Jade, she felt her blood boil. She didn't know what could possibly have happened for Tori to call her despite what happened a few hours ago and ask her to come.
Tori waited only for about fifteen minutes when Cat rushed into her office. "What's wrong Tori? I thought Jade was gone?" Cat asked. Tori only pushed her phone towards Cat to take it, which she did, and she saw what was on the screen. The message from Andre saying Jade was back. "Why is she back? How does he know?" Tori only shrugged and looked at her with a heartbroken look. "Look Tori, I understand what happened between us shouldn't have happened, but I'll be here for you and with you to help you get through this Kay?" Cat informed. Tori gave her a soft smile before standing up and moved to hug her best friend. "Thank you so much Cat..." She whispered into the hug. After they pulled away, Cat kissed Tori's head and gave her a smile. "So! You were working on some music since you got here?" Cat asked. Tori nodded and walked back to her desk while Cat sat on the other side of it. "Yeah. Want to help?" Tori inquired. Cat perked up at this and eagerly nodded her head.
The pair was working on the song for a while when Tori's phone rang with an incoming message. She looked at it for a while and hesitated before responding. "Who was it?" Cat asked. "Andre. He said he wants me to come over, but I don't know. What if Jade is there? I don't want to see her. I told him." Her phone rang again and she looked at it for a while. Cat noticed this and peeked over her phone. "Tell him you'll be there tomorrow." "Why?" Tori asked. Cat only giggled and motioned for Tori to just reply telling him she'd go. "Why am I doing this? What if she's there Cat?" "Because. I. Will. Be. There. Too. Silly!" Cat exclaimed like it was obvious while tapping Tori's nose. "Ooohhhh okay!" Tori said while typing what Cat said. The two went back to working on the song until they realized it was getting late and decided to call it a day. It was already five in the evening and Tori hadn't had a decent meal since she had rushed out in the morning. They went home and had a decent dinner. The rest of the evening and night was spent watching movies until Tori fell asleep. Cat carefully picked her up and took her to the girl's room and laid her on the bed. She kissed her forehead and whispered a goodnight and went to her room to get a good night's sleep.
The next morning, Tori got up and was nervous. She knew something was off with the last message Andre had sent. Thank god Cat was coming too! They both had breakfast and got ready to go to Andre's house. Arriving at Andre's, Tori was beginning to get second thoughts. "Cat, I don't think this is a good idea. What if Jade really is there? I don't think I can do this! I have a feeling Andre tricked me into coming here to talk to her. He was her best friend before she left! Let's go b-mmmff!" Tori was cut off by a pair of lips. She was wide-eyed as she saw Cat kissing her. After a few seconds, Cat pulled away and Tori was still wide-eyed. "You needed to calm down Tori. You were talking to fast. So what if Jade is there? I've already thought about all this last night. Just follow my lead and trust me Kay?" Cat said with a soft smile. All Tori could do was nod. "Kay Kay, let's go Tori." They both got out of the car and walked towards the door, arms linked. Cat knocked until Andre yelled out. "I'M COMING!" Tori giggled and Cat smiled. Andre opened the door and looked shocked when he saw Cat standing next to Tori. "Hey Cat, what are you doing here? I thought only Tori was going to come? Why'd you come too?" He babbled. Jade's plan to get the two alone didn't involve Cat coming here. Now he was nervous and scared that he'd get into some serious shit with the two girls in front of him. "I wanted to see you too Andre! Why? Is there something you're not telling us?" Cat asked in a sing-song voice. "Uhhh.. No! No... Just didn't expect you to come too Lil Red. Come on in." He gulped and let the two go in. "I'll be right back. I left the faucet on when you guys knocked." He said and rushed to the kitchen.
A few minutes later, Andre stepped out of the kitchen while rubbing his arm. "Listen, Tori... I have to tell you something..." "Is it that Jade is here and you tried to trick Tori into coming here because she threatened you?" Cat asked with a giggle. Andre started choking and Tori had to help him calm down. "I'm really sorry Tori... but Cat, how did you know?" She only smiled and pulled Tori back next to her. "Jade is here?" Tori only asked with a hint of fear in her voice. Andre nodded and went back to the kitchen and walked out with Jade nervously walking behind him. "It's okay Tori... I got you..." Cat whispered. Tori only nodded and tried to say something but couldn't. All four were sitting in the living room sitting in silence. You could feel all the tension in the room. Cat was shooting daggers at Jade, who was looking longingly at Tori, who was glaring at Andre, who was just looking anywhere but the three girls. "So why are you back Jade?" Cat finally cut the silence. Jade winced at Cat's tone and finally looked at Cat. She did manage to see their hands linked together and couldn't help but feel jealous. "I came because there's some explaining I need to do. To all of you..." Tori only stayed quiet the whole time and looked at Jade. She looked different. She no longer had brown hair, but now had jet black hair. She still had the highlights though. Tori couldn't help but think that this look looked better for Jade. She looked prettier. 'Wait, I can't be thinking like that!' She thought. She shook her head and noticed that the two girls in front of her were now bantering at each other and Andre was trying to calm them down. "Cat!" Tori called. Cat stopped yelling at Jade and turned to look at Tori. "Can we please leave?" She whispered. Cat's expression softened and she nodded. "Sure. Let's get going babe. Andre, you should've known better than to do this." Cat said before taking Tori's hand, kissing her cheek, and walking out with the half latina, hand in hand. Before closing the door, Tori looked back and saw Jade calling back for her. She sucked in the tears and closed the door and walked back to Cat's car.
The drive back home was quiet and each time Cat glanced at Tori, the tan girl was looking out the window. They both got out of the car and walked into the lobby of their complex and straight to their apartment. Tori went straight to her room while Cat thought of what to do. After a few minutes of debating what to do, she finally made her move and walked to Tori's room. She stepped in the room but didn't see her. She stepped in and saw the closet doors open. Quietly, Cat peeked in and saw Tori looking through some things. "Hey... whatcha doing?" Cat asked in a soft tone. Tori looked up and only shook her head. Cat knew what Tori was looking through. It hurt her to see that Jade still had this effect on Tori, but she was determined to help her best friend. "Why did you call me babe over there?" Tori whispered. Cat took a breath and said, "Because Jade needs to back off. She hurt you too much Tori... I want to help you get over her..." Tori wiped the tears that were itching to come out. She felt bad about everything. She felt bad for Cat. This sweet sweet girl was in love with her, and Tori could only see her as a best friend. She still loved the girl who broke her heart and left with no explanation. She must've been quiet for some time because she realized that all of Jade's and her stuff were back in the cabinet and Cat was looking at her with such a hopeful look. She then made up her mind and grabbed Cat's hand. "I need to get over her Cat..." Tori whispered. "Let me help you then... please Tori..." The red head whispered back. The half latina closed the deal by sealing it with a kiss. Cat knew she should end up getting hurt, but she was willing to be used until Tori got over Jade. 'Just maybe, just maybe, she might end up falling for me.' Cat thought.
Back in Andre's house, Jade was still sitting on the couch. She could see Andre moving his mouth but couldn't hear what he was saying. He had a sad look on his face though. Jade's mind kept replaying what Cat told to Tori before leaving. Sure. Let's get going babe... Babe? Did that mean they were a thing? She couldn't help but wonder now. Her heart was aching at the thought of Cat and Tori together. She needed to get Tori alone... She just needed to get a chance to explain to Tori why she left. She just didn't know how...
