Jade's POV

We are sitting on the couch, watching the movie and I swear Tori's a real scardy cat. Every time she gets scared she hides her face in my shoulder and I hold her, reassuring her that the beast in the movie is fake. It's not half as scary as the movies I watch, you can't even compare it to the Scissoring.

I'm glad the movie idea was successful at taking her mind off things. At least temporarily. Trina came home sometime after the movie started. Tori begged me not to say anything about the shit that happened.

"Oh my God Jade! How can you watch this?." She asked as she hid her face in my shoulder again. I chuckled at this, and held her close.

"Tori c'mon, it's fake. And not scary at all, might I add." I looked at the and smiled as she gave me a playful punch in the arm.

"It's still scary." She argued. I rolled my eyes and continued holding her.

"Vega, don't you think it's time to get some big girl pants? It's only a movie. No one's gonna come and eat you." I retorted. She let out an annoyed huff, and snuggled closer to me as the movie neared its end.

"Jade?." she asked and sounded nervous.

"Yeah?." My eyes still on the TV screen.

She looked up at me, and I looked down at her. Her big brown eyes shining in the dark. God, I love her eyes, they have to be hands down the most mesmerizing eyes I've ever seen. I could get lost in them forever.

"Why, umm.. why are you here?." I quirked an eyebrow in confusion.

"Not really sure I follow. Care to elaborate on what you mean?."

"I mean, why are you here? Why are you doing this?." I knew what she meant. I took a minute to think about my answer.

"I'm here because my friend needs me. I'm here because I want to be here." I half smiled.

"But why Jade? After everything you've said about us not being friends, the way you always act towards me. I mean, you hate me.. what changed?. Are you here because you pity me?." I could see the tears in her eyes begin to form again. I closed my eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

"Tori.. I'm here because there's no place else I'd rather be. Not because I pity you. And despite what I've said I think you know we're friends. I can't say anything to justify my behavior towards you, not after everything I've done to you. All I can do is hope that you can find it in that heart of gold, of yours to forgive me and we can start over." I sighed, ignoring the tears that threatened to escape my eyes as I whisper ever so quietly, "And I never really hated you. But I have a feeling you already knew that.".

She has a big goofy smile on her face. That same goofy smile that I fell in love with, and I feel my heart begin to race.

She sat up straighter and said "Then you won't kill me if I do this." She gave me a sweet kiss on the cheek. And then I froze in place. The only thought in my head was that Tori had just kissed me, even if it was an innocent kiss on the cheek, it meant everything to me.

"Wha- umm why?." I managed to stutter out.

"Friends kiss each other's cheeks some times." She says casually and smiles again.

I hear a noise coming from behind us, and turn to find Trina pouring herself a glass of orange juice. I gave her an angry glance for interrupting mine and Tori's moment. Instead I see Trina and Tori exchange a knowing look and smile. Trina winked at Tori and then disappeared up the stairs.

"What was that about?." I cocked my eyebrows at her.

"What do you mean?." She gives me a puzzled look.

"You know, that look Trina gave you." I motioned towards the direction Trina left in.

"Oh that. Um it's nothing, don't worry about it." She shrugs.

"Okay?." I say, not fully believing her.

The movie had ended, although we missed the end because we were talking, not that I'm complaining it was a decent choice. I reached for my phone in my back pocket. I pressed the 'home' button to check the time. It was 11:42pm.

"It's getting late, I should probably go." I started to get up, but didn't make it too far when a hand caught my wrist.

"No wait!." Tori gripped my wrist tighter, in a state of urgency. I looked down at her hand that kept a firm grip on me and then I brought my eyes back up.

"What's wrong?." I asked concerned while putting my phone back in my pocket and reaching for her free hand, taking it in mine.

"I just.. I umm.. I don't want to be alone tonight.. can you stay with me? Please?." I see a faint blush appear on her gorgeous cheeks. I smile gently at her, "Of course I'll stay with you." She lets go of my wrist and I bring my hand up to cup her cheek gently. I give her a soft kiss on the cheek and she seems flushed for a minute.

I chuckled, knowing my reaction when she kissed me was similar to hers. "Friends kiss each other's cheeks sometimes, remember?." I quote her previous words and smile.

"Alright well, we should go to bed. You go to your room, I'll stay here on the couch. Sound good?." She's still not responding, still frozen in place. As I start to move back to the couch she says "No..p-please come upstairs with me." I whip my head back towards her direction. "O-okay." It was my turn to choke on my words, out of shock.

I start to go up the stairs when I realize she isn't following me. I raise my eyebrow at her, and begin walking back towards her.

"Well, if you're not gonna move I guess I'll have to carry you upstairs myself." I sweep her off her feet, carrying her, holding her close as she wraps her arms around my neck. I can feel her hot breath on me and it's driving me crazy. When we reach her bedroom I carefully place her on the center of the bed, and then I pulled myself back up.

I studied her for a moment. Trying to figure her out, but I can't. She waved her hand in front of my face and snapped me out of my trance.

"So, I'll take the floor if you got any pillows?." I asked trying to shake off the awkwardness of her realizing I was gawking at her.

"No you don't have to.. you can sleep up here if you want?." Her voice trailing off towards the end of her sentence.

I felt all happy and tingly inside, but I didn't want it to show too much. When I didn't answer she began to say "It's a stupid idea you don't have to-" I cut her off "I would love to Tori. Can I please have a pair of pajamas to wear?."

She had this weird expression on her face, as if she couldn't believe my words. She didn't respond, she just got up and opened her drawer, searching for something for me to wear.

She hands me a matching purple colored top and bottom. The shirt has a black heart on it and a few musical notes.

"I hope these fit okay and are of your liking. They are the least girly pajamas I have." she smiled.

"They're fine don't worry about it." I told her in a reassuring tone.

"Okay, well you can change in here and I'll go to the bathroom." I nodded as she picked up a pair of pink pajamas and headed towards the bathroom. The bathroom was joined with Tori's bedroom, I guess Trina and her got separate bathrooms so they won't argue.

Tori left the door about a crack open where I could see her back as she changed. I felt my body stiffen as I watched her change. She lifted the shirt and pants she was wearing aside, revealing a dark blue bra and matching panties. Her toned back looked so perfect. She unhooked her bra and removed it. My breath got caught in my throat. She shimmied into her pajama bottoms and then top.

I quickly zapped back to reality following her actions and getting ready for bed. I couldn't afford her knowing I was staring at her while she changed. I don't want to scare her off.

I jumped into bed just as she walked into the room. She smiled at me and sat down, getting settled. She lied down and turned to her side to face me.

"Thank you Jade. For everything you've done for me." I cupped her cheek soothingly as she shut her eyes at the contact. "You don't have to thank me for anything. I'm happy to do anything I can to help you through this," I smiled as I removed my hand from her cheek.

She reached for the lamp on her nightstand and turned it off. I opened my arms, and she turned her back to me as she got settled in my hold. I pulled her back to my front closer and took a deep breath, inhaling her perfect, sweet scent.

I gave her a kiss on the shoulder and then her cheek, and I felt her cheeks form a smile against my lips.

"Goodnight Tori." I whispered in her ear, then I settled my head in between the crook of her neck and shoulder. I felt her relax and say "Goodnight Jade."
