Well, here you go. Last part to Daydreaming. I wanted there to be more to this story but it just didn't happen. I get bored with my stories really fast so they either take REALLY long to write or I have to make them short one-shots. Anyways, hope you're satisfied after this.

Vega looks like she wants to cry, and she does when I go up and hug her. 'It's okay, Vega. Wanna tell us what's up?'

'Everything's just...everything's crashing down all at once. Trina's moving away, my parents are never home...when they are, they're constantly fighting; whether it be about my mom's affair or the fact that "They can't have a daughter who chooses to be gay." I'm gonna be all alone when Trina leaves...if it were one problem at a time it would be different...' Vega spills, then sighs in what seems like relief. I know the feeling; getting something that huge off your chest makes you feel weightless.

'Being gay isn't a choice though...' I start, then stop. Telling her won't change anything.

To my surprise, she actually laughs. 'Tell me something I don't know.'

'One time, my brother tried to eat one of my stuffed animals...' Cat starts, but stops when I glare at her. 'What? She said to tell her something she doesn't know...'

'I didn't mean it literally, Cat.' Vega starts, then tenses up a bit. 'Jade?'

'What is it, Vega?' I ask, though not as harshly as I normally would.

'I think I'm calm...you can let go of me now.'

I hesitate but eventually let her go.

'You okay, Jade? You hesitated.' Vega points out.

'I'm gonna go guys. See ya!' Cat says, then walks out.

Vega starts to follow, but I grab her wrist and hold her back. I start to really look her over and I'm surprised by what I see. She has bags under her eyes like she hasn't slept in days. She's swaying a little bit, like she could go down at any minute. Aside from...the obvious physical damage, there are multiple small bruises on her collar bone, cheekbone, and wrist. Probably more under her clothing. All in all, she looks like a train wreck.

She catches me looking her over and smirks. 'My eyes are up here, you know.'

I scoff and continue looking her over. 'I know, That's where I started.'

When I'm finished, I look back at her chocolate brown eyes and my heart skips when I see she's staring back at me.

'Having fun in your little search?' She asks, amusement evident in her voice.

I smirk at her and nod. 'Yep and for the record...' I walk up to her at a slow pace and lean in so my mouth is an inch from her ear. 'I like what I saw.'

Vega shivers slightly and lets out a shaky breath. 'Oh?'

I chuckle and my voice comes out huskier than I expect it to. 'Yeah. Too bad I can only look when I'm itching to touch.'

I put extra emphasis on "itching" and "touch", making sure she feels my breath on her ear.

Vega suppresses a moan and shivers again, her eyes closed.

'When has the big, bad Jade West stopped when she wants something?' Vega asks, voice no more than a whisper.

I back away and look her in the eyes. 'When I know for a fact that that something could break if I push too hard.'

Vega's never seen me so vulnerable; I mean I basically just told her I wanted her. She has the power to hurt me more than I've ever hurt her at one time. I look away and sigh.

The next words out of her mouth are so inaudible, I almost miss them. Maybe she didn't mean for me me to hear them.

'You wouldn't be pushing if I was willing...'

I don't notice how close Vega gets until she makes me look at her and I see she's about an inch away from my face.

'Still itching to touch?'

Her breath brushes my lips and I shiver. 'You're not gonna break, right?'

She lets out a low chuckle and shakes her head. 'No, Jade. I'm not gonna break.'

I smile at her and notice she's leaning in. I meet her half way and swear there are literal fireworks, sparks, electricity, and everything else they say happens when you kiss someone you love. She pulls back and looks at me, shock on her face but love in her eyes.

'You know we skipped all of our afternoon classes, right?' I point out, feeling slightly guilty.

Vega smiles at me and kisses me again. 'I know. But I don't mind.'

'Cat and I are serious about helping you though. I hope you realize that.'

'I know...and you're right. I don't think I'd be able to make it alone.'

I smile a little and pull her close. 'Well you're not alone...not anymore...'

Son of a cow wearing a sombrero, I'm tired. It's almost 10:30 and I have to take my World History EOC (End of Course) exam again tomorrow. Eh, I'll do fine. I wanted to get this chapter posted before I go to bed though because I'll forget by tomorrow. Night night my little munchkins!
