I used a lot of songs in this chapter and a lot of things were added last minute. Songs used: Everybody talks - Neon Trees, Ignorance - Paramore, A twist in my story - Secondhand Serenade, and Stop Standing There- Avril Lavigne.

"Congrats you've saved the lives of all the people here." Sikowitz said. "Beck will take you home." He finished taking Victor from us and putting him in the police truck.

Jade's POV

"It started with a whisper! And that was when I kissed her, and then she made my lips hurt!" Tori sung at the top of her lungs while dancing in front of a mirror. "I could hear the chitchat! Take me to your loovvee shack. When everybody talks back!" I rolled my eyes at the brunette. "Come dance with me!" Tori grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet. I rolled my eyes dramticly.

"At least turn some music on." Grabbing Tori's phone I flipped through her music before turning on a song by Paramore. "If I'm a bad person you don't like me well, I guess I'll make my own way. It's a circle a mean cycle. I can't excite you anymore." I sung along. Tori smiled and added her own voice.

"Where's your gavel? Your jury? What's my offense this time? You're not a judge, but if you're going to judge me. Sentence me to another life!" We sung loud and clear in Tori's bedroom. After yesterday's adventure we just wanted to unwind, well I wanted to unwind. Earlier I was watching a horror flick in Tori's room after the host had woke me up, but Tori couldn't handle it. A few hours later here we are singing and dancing in her room. The song changed to one I recognize but don't know the lyrics. Tori didn't stop singing. I laid on her bed watching her

"Whispers turn to shouting, shouting turns to tears. Your tears turn into the laughter, which takes away our fears." She moved like a swan swishing her hips back and forth. Her eyes were shut and she's was smiling. I could feel a smile on my own face. Tori opened her eyes and her smile widened.

"I'm hungry." I got up before she or I have a chance to say anything.

"What was that?!"Cat cried in my head.

What are you talking about?

"You were bailing on her!"

Cat just…quiet.I sighed and opened up Vega's refrigerator.

"You have to listen to me! I'm your angel, and you can't run away so ha!"

Fine. What do you want?

"Why did you stop yourself? You were having so much fun with Tori.

First of all I wasn't having fun. Second it's none of your business.

"Come on! I have nothing better to do!"I could picture her pouting.

Vega's not my friend.

"Lying to your self is not healthy."

I'm lying to you.

"Jadee!"

Fine! I have a massive crush on her. Is that what you wanted to hear?

"Then wh-"

"Find something to eat?" Tori asked from behind me. I was so caught up in the conversation I didn't notice her walk in.

"No." I answered pulling out bread, ham, lettuce, mayo, and tomatoes. I made myself a sandwich then sit on Vega's couch listening to the radio.

"You should tell her."

Are you crazy?! She's probably straight. She'll freak out.

"What about yesterday? She was holding your hand then."

...Maybe she didn't notice she was doing it.

"Stop lying to yourself."Cat's voice starts to drifts away.

"Any new stories?" Tori asked placing herself beside me, also eating a sandwich.

"Nope." I answered popping the p. I stretched my legs out resting them on her lap. Switching the channel on the radio to a nonstop music station I glanced over at Vega.

"Say something."Cat hissed in my ear. "Compliment her, start a conversation do something."

I will just, shut it Valentine!I screw up my face in thought. Tori seemed to notice and raised an eyebrow.

"Cat's being an ass." I grumble. The brunette lets out a giggle that on anyone else would be obnoxious, but on her it just makes me smile. She kicked the side of my leg.

"Be nice." She scolded.

"Yeah like that will happen." I rolled my eyes. She shook her head, the smile on her face never fading. I put the empty plate on her table to wash it later.

"Come on Jadeyyyy say something."

Never call me Jadey!

"Then say something."

I… can't.

"What?! Whyy?"

I'm afraid.

"Don't be. I'm right here."I could almost picture her giant dumb smile.

Come on Cat. What do I do?

"Get her to start talking."

How?

"I don't know, figure it out!" Cat's voice said fading out.

"Cat must really be eating your mind." Tori said before I can say anything. I notice now that she's been staring at me.

"Of course. It is Cat we're talking about." I replied leaning forward.

"How did you ever handle her?"

"She got worse with age." Tori raised an eyebrow. "Sounds impossible?"

"YES!"

"She was my neighbor when we were 7 or 8. It was around the time when we were learning to control our powers. We would practice at a park not far from where we lived." Tori smiled.

"Knowing you, practicing would mean sparing."

"Of course, of course." I purred.

"Who would win?" The brunette curiously leaned towards me.

"…..Well…we would usually tie."

"What? Ho-"

"Water beats fire, braniac."

"OH! Oh yeah." Tori giggled and shook her head.

"What caused you to grow apart?"

"When did I say we did?"

"I just thought since you were a thief and she was a hero something must have happened."

"Well you are right."She smiled in victory. "Her parents found out and let's just say they didn't like me."

"I couldn't imagine why." Vega teased. I continued on.

"I moved to a boarding school after that, but we kept in touch. Until I became a thief of course."

"Sounds like fun times. When did you become a thief?"

"Well I assisted an assassin when I was 16 but Hollywood Arts doesn't know that."

"You were a what?!" My smile widened.

"Nothing." I said in a sing song voice. She attempts to glare at me but ended up smiling. I grabbed the remote from the table and flipped through the channels.

"OH" Vega snapped forward and grabbed the remote before putting it on Once Upon a Time. She leaned towards me as we watched. I haven't seen this show before but it seems …pretty cool. I slung my arm around her as we watch some lady in a dress be put in a dungeon. Tori cuddled into me as the show progresses. Her arm was around my waist as mine was hers, and her head was rested on my shoulder. She leaned towards me. At such a close proximity I could make out every eyelash. Her soft brown curls rested perfectly over her shoulders. I could almost hear Cat's insane giggle in my ear, almost.

"You've had a life Belle before this, friends, family. What made you choice to come here with me?" The Scottish man on the screen asks.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Tori asked suddenly. She turned to face. I adjusted myself so I face her.

"What are you talking about?"

"You're a master thief you could have left Hollywood Arts by now. I know you don't like the program so why stay?" She asked.

"Maybe I had nothing better to do." Vega knew that wasn't the real answer and said nothing. "Maybe there was…is something holding me back." I said the truth, however unbelievable. For some odd reason I am crushing on Tori. I want to trust her. I want to talk to and hold her.

"And what is that?" I hesitated. I should say something mean and nasty, I could still back out. However before I could do something I would instantly regret Tori leaned forward, brave girl. She moved slow giving me time to reject her, but there was no need. I knew then that I wanted to kiss her. So I did. It was soft and comfortable. Just a simple kiss. She pulled back first but didn't move far back. I could still count every colour in her eye. I could see the way her smile glowed. The moment was lovely, unique and just beautiful.

"You." I said it so softly I wasn't sure she heard me. I feel like every cheesy chick flick combined into a gussy piece of jello. She smiles at me. I don't ask any questions, no matter how much I want to. I just want to enjoy this moment. I can figure this out later. All I know is that we continued to watch the television until I ended up falling asleep.

Tori's POV

After the episode ended I left Jade to nap on the couch. I needed time to think. I do like her. I'm sure of that. She's beautiful, hilarious, fearless, she does what she wants and doesn't need anyone. I laid on the bed and turned the music on after shutting the door. Humming quietly to the song playing I let my thoughts wonder but all I can think of is Jade. I sit up suddenly and grab a pencil and my notebook.

Writing has always helped me express my feelings. I would probably become a singer and song writer if I wasn't apart of Hollywood Arts.

I don't know what I'm to do
I don't know where you stand
What's inside of your head

All this thinking of you
Is that what you're doing too?
You're always on my mind.
I think about you all the time

I paused and racked my brain for more. No one knew that I am a lesbian. I have dated one other girl before. Her name was Jennifer but everyone called her Jet. She had short black hair that spiked up and towards one side and she was out of the closet. No one knew we dated I made sure of that. Its part of the reason we broke up. She didn't want to hide me anymore but I wasn't ready to tell anyone. I didn't want to be judged. This wasn't too far back maybe a year, but it is definitely long enough for me to become comfortable with the fact that I am a lesbian. I'm not sure what Jade thinks. If she had these feelings for another girl before. If she thinks they are strange or if she was raised by a very straight strict family. Whatever happened to her parents? I looked towards the door. I wanted to ask her right then, however she wouldn't like me disturbing her nap. Maybe I can make her some coffee to keep her in her good mood.

Don't waste another day
Don't waste another minute
I can't wait to see your face

Open up your heart
Help me understand
Please tell me who you are
So I can show you who I am

That should be enough for now. I closed the book and hid it away under a pile of other books in my desk. In the living room, Jade was still asleep in a loose crop top she stole from my closet. I made two mugs of coffee and while I waited for it I sat on the ground, in front of Jade's sleeping body. Although she was asleep she doesn't seem as relaxed as she had when I left her. Her face was hard and she was twitching. I wonder briefly if she was having a nightmare and if I should wake her up. I reached a hand up and slowly rubbed the raven head's stomach. She relaxed almost instantly. The hard lines on her face melted away. She moved only slightly turning towards me and I continued. The smile on my face couldn't be helped. I leaned forward ever so slowly and place a kiss on her cheek. Such a beautiful face.

The coffee machine beeped twice. After grabbing the mugs I sat back down in front of the couch. I reach up again and rubbed Jade's stomach. She seemed to like it. Jade's eyelids fluttered twice before opening.

"Tori?" she asked quietly. "…What are you doing?"

"Rubbing your belly." I answered with a large grin. A soft sincere smile was planted on her face. "I made you some coffee." With my other hand I grabbed her mug and past it over. She tilted her head back as she took a sip. "Jade."

"Mhmm?"

"Do you want to go somewhere later? Maybe a movie?" She opened her eyes and locked on to me. With a small smile, Jade nodded.

"Sure."

I'm really bad at fluff ^^; Don't worry it won't all be fluffy. Action is coming.
