Take Me By The Hand

After what happened in Andre's house, Tori has been doing whatever she could do avoid Jade. It's been a month since Jade had come back and Cat and Tori were together. It's only been a month and Tori has been a tad happier with Cat being her girlfriend. The perky red head had done alot through the past week just to see the half latina smile. She'd bring her breakfast in bed, take her to work, and even sent her flowers when Tori was in the dance studio. All her coworkers congratulated Tori and Cat when the red head showed up with the flowers. It was a Friday already when Cat took Tori out for a date night. They were going to go eat at a Restaurant. Tori was wearing a red dress that was at mid length to her thigh with red heels, and had a black purse with red stripes. Cat was wearing a pretty pink dress with pink heels and had a pink matching purse to go with the outfit.

"So where are we going Cat? Tell me! Please?" Tori whined with a smile. Cat only grinned and shook her head as she drove. "If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore silly!" Said Cat. Tori hmpd and pouted. "It's not fair. I want to know. Can you at least give me a clue? I'll give you a kiss if you give me a hint!" Tori said. "Fine! Just because you're so cute! There will be food and entertainment!" Cat answered. Tori thought for a while but couldn't guess where they were going. A lot of fancy restaurants have some entertainment so she couldn't guess right. 'Oh well! Guess I'll have to wait and see!' Tori thought. Half an hour later, Tori squealed in excitement when she saw where they were: Bandera. "Oh my god! Cat! This place is always full! I've always wanted to come here! How'd you manage to get reservations in such a short notice?! Usually you have to call in about two or three months in advance!" Tori rambled in excitement as she got out of the car. Cat gave the keys to the valet man and interlinked her's and Tori's hand. "I might've pulled the 'I'm a famous actress' card and mentioned that this was going to be the first official romantic date that I take my beautiful girlfriend somewhere great." Cat said. Tori smiled and leaned to peck Cat's cheek. The two girls walked in to the attendant on the front pedestal.

"Hi, I have reservations under Valentiine." Cat said. The man opened his book and gave a nod. "Oh Ms. Valentine! It is such an honor to have you here! Same to you Ms. Vega. We get a lot of requests to play your music here!" The man beamed. Tori smiled at the man beore thanking him. "Okay, so Ms. Valentine, your reservations, we got your request about the entertainment and it shall be done. We have a new singer here that has blown everyone away!" "Thank you sir!" Cat said. A waiter approached them and motioned for the girls to follow him into the front of the room. They sat a few tables down from the stage and had a good sight of it. "I' will be back with the beverages you had already asked for Ms. Valentine." The waiter said and left the couple alone. "Thank you Cat... So much!" Tori said and reached across the table to take Cat's hand. A few minutes later, the waiter came back with a bottle of red wine. "Are you ladies ready to order?" He asked. Cat looked at Tori questioningly, and gave her a nod when Tori gave her a nod. "Yes, we're ready. Tori? What are you getting?" "I'd like the smoked Salmon with a salad on the side. No olives please." Tori said. The waiter nodded and looked to Cat. "And for you?" "I'll have shrimp coctail. That's all."

"Very well then you're meal will be ready in about fifteen minutes. Is that okay?" Cat looked at Tori, who smiled, and nodded back to the waitor. The girls began chatting away as they waited for their food and listened to the man that was currently singing. After waiting for a couple of minutes, their food finally came and the girls were enjoying their dinner. The man playing the piano had finished another song and stood up. "Well, thank you all for listening and coming to Bandera's restaurant! Now, our new performer will be coming to play a little something she's been working on. It will be more, soft music. Give it up for the beautiful and amazing Miss Elizabeth West!" Tori's eyes went wide at the name and started choking on her food. Cat stopped clapping and helped Tori calm down. "Hey, are you okay baby?" Cat asked as she rubbed the other girl's back. Tori wiped her mouth with the napkin and looked around nervously. "Uhm, yeah. I just took a really big bite and choked on it." Tori said. Cat seemed to buy it and turned back to eating her food while they waited for this new performer to step up. Tori looked everywhere and was beginning to grow nervous. 'There's not many people here who have that last name... That is her middle name after all... Please God don't let it be her...' Tori thought. She had her eyes closed, scared to look at the stage and Cat was too busy enjoying her food until they heard the familiar voice.

"Good evening everyone? How are you all doing? My name is Elizabeth West. Jade Elizabeth West. Now, I was told by my boss that a customer had requested a song for their lover tonight. Can I get the wonderful man or woman who wanted this for their lucky lover to stand up?" Jade said. Cat looked at Tori, feeling a bit scared that Tori would run but what she saw, pretty much surprised her. Tori was wearing a soft smile, yet she could see the sadness in her eyes, and leaned forward to peck her lips and whisper, "You requested the song for me." She didn't ask. She stated it. Cat's worried look turned into a smile and she gave Tori a shy nod. "Yes... But I didn't know that Jade worked here... We can leave if you wa-" Tori shook her head. "It's okay Cat... I'm okay..." The two girls looked at each other with great affection in their eyes when Jade spoke up, still failing to see her lost lover and ex friend together a couple of tables down. "Can the man or woman who asked for this song please stand up?" Cat kissed Tori before taking a deep breath and standing up. "Yeah, hi there. I'm the one who had requested for a song when I made the reservations for my girlfriend." Jade was dumbstruck and her calm look changed into a look of pure disbelief. She looked down at the table and saw Tori sitting there with a weary smile when their eyes locked. 'This can't be happening. No fucking way!' Jade thought. Her heart was breaking but she shook the feeling away and put on a happy look. "Well, I hope this song is to your taste and your girlfriens likes it. It's a new song I wrote and this will be the first time I sing it. You're a lucky woman to be with such a kind-hearted beauty... And she's lucky to have you as her girlfriend too..." Jade choked out. She turned and sat on the bench in front of the piano.

With a shredded up heart, Jade moved her hands to the keys on the piano. She looked up to see Tori, who was intently staring back, and thought to herself. 'This is for you Tor...' A soft and soothing melody began playing and Jade lost herself in the music and began to sing.

It's a little bit funny

This feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money

But girl if I did

I'd buy a big house where

We both could live

Jade felt herself wanting to look at Tori but decided not too. 'Not yet Jade. Calm down... She needs to know...' She thought as she kept singing.

So excuse me forgetting

But these things I do

See I've forgotten if

They're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is

What I really mean

Your's are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Jade finally looked up and her eyes were instantly locked to Tori's. She gave her a sorrowful, yet longingly look before breaking their stare, and closing her eyes to keep singing.

And you can tell everybody,

This is your song

It may be quite simple but

Now that it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Tori felt torn and so confused again. She knew Jade wasn't singing this as a request from Cat. She was singing this straight to her. The song was for her. She felt Cat's eyes on her but she kept her focus on Jade. She just couldn't cut her attention from the girl pouring out her soul into this one song, that was directed for her.

If I was a sculptor

But then again no

Or girl who makes potions in a traveling show

I know it's not much but

It's the best I can do

My gift is my song and

This one's for you

Jade felt her voice cracking and she felt herself losing it. She closed her eyes again, did her best to hold back the tears that would probably flow if she opened them if she opened them, and kept hitting the notes to the song. She needed for Tori to hear not just the song or the music, but her voice. How much Jade really felt for the girl and how much passion there was. She looked down, took a deep breath, and powered through the song.

Ohh...

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

It may be quite simple but

Now that it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

She kept her eyes closed for a few seconds while the audience was cheering for her and her song. When she felt sure she wouldn't burst into tears, she looked up and saw Tori's eyes were teared up. She looked to Cat and flinched at the strong glare that she was receiving from the red head. If Cat didn't have Tori and if they were still friends, Jade would be proud of that glare, but right now, she felt uncomfortable. She fixed up a smiled, stood up, and bowed. "Thank you all for having me. Miss Valentine, I hope that was what you wanted for your lovely girlfriend. That song was written in inspirationa of the love of my life." With that, Jade left the stage and dashed out of the restaurant.

She couldn't hold on anymore. She needed Tori to know the truth. She got in a cab and gave him an adress. An hour later, she was at Andre's house. She made her way to the house and opened it using the spare key he had given her. "Andre!" Jade shouted. In came a worried Andre from upstairs. "What's wrong? Why the yelling?" He asked. "I..." She didn't know what to say and finally let herself cry. Andre quickly jumped to her side and hugged her. "Hey... What's wrong? Jade? Talk to me." Jade only sobbed in Andre's arms and shook her head. "I-I don't ha-have much more t-time Andre..." Was all Jade could choke out. Not knowing what else to do, he took Jade by the hand and took her to her room. He then layed her down and laid down next to her and just comoforted her in his arms until she fell asleep. He carefully slid out of bed, pulled the covers over Jade, turned off the light, and walked back downstairs. After a few minutes of thinking, he pulled out his phone and sent the same message to four people saying: URGENT! Come by ASAP!

He waited for various minutes and recieved responses saying they'd fly in and be there within the weekend. He sighed and flopped on the sofa. 'What could possibly be wrong with Jade? Was she dying?' He scowled at thinking of that. 'But if it was, was that why she left?' He wasn't sure. He had to get Jade to finally tell him but he also needed others who would hopefully understand and at least listen to her. Maybe then, they could help Jade.
