Tori watched her girlfriend sleeping, the ample chest rising and falling. 'Yea, that's mine.' She thought, and a smile crossed her face. The urge to touch was there, but the singer resisted. 'Sometimes, it's better if they know you're there.' She decided. Tori stood up and snuck out of the room.
"How's she doping?" An older woman asked. Tori had only briefly met that woman, but was amaze she cared. After all, it was Jade's stepmother, and Tori's own brief experience had shown that none of Jade's parents seemed to care one whit about her.
"She's resting." Tori told the woman. "They say she should make a full recovery. It's just, DAMN, that was so close..." Tears threatened, once again, and the brown eyed girl let them fall. It had been to much, being strong for everyone for the last six hours. Part of her was amazed it was so recent, but then, she remembered talking Jade down from taking her own life. How devastated the goth had been at the quick turn of events, including her fathers admission as to why he'd supported Jade and Beck as a couple. It hurt, in ways she never wanted to experience herself.
'Yea, Ronald's a bastard." Misses West agreed. "But hay, at least he's stepping up, trying to be a better men. Of course, not telling his daughter that she was dating her own half brother, that was kinda skanky."
"That, plus her mother basically disowning her for sins she had no idea she was committing, that was just too much." Tori sighed. "I had no idea she lived that close to the edge."
"Hard to believe anyone as nice as Mindy could be so cold, right?" Misses West asked, with a dark, lost smile on her face. "She seems so open, religious and caring and willing to be there for you, up until she finds out your anything less then perfect, or no longer can use you for her own ends. Then she just turns on you, or uses you up. Me, I was burned, more then once, before she set me up with Ronald, all so she could accuse him of cheating and get out of that loveless marriage she'd gotten into just to get away from home."
"From other woman to his second wife." Tori nodded. 'Knowing he was such a bastard, why? Why marry him?"
"Because there's a part of me that wanted is approval." The woman said. "A part of me that fell in love. Sides, as you can guess by now, I have no illusions of monogamy in this relationship. Hell, I've had lovers, some of whom he knew about. But when he complained, I just reminded him of the kids we knew about, the three or four he'd fathered that we could probably prove. Of course, I didn't know about Beck until recently. Damn, he knew, and wanted Jade to be with Beck to give his son some level of legitimacy. Thats cold."
"Well, Jade's with me now." Tori said. "I got her to promise, just before they fifty one fiftied her ass. Now, all I have to do is wait, and be thankful that the damage she did to herself wasn't permanent."
"Yea, you wanna hear something really off?" The second misses West asked. "Ron has no problem with her being gay. Says if she's not gonna mate with her brother, then being with you is just fine. Guessing incest trumps just about anything else, right?"
"Yea, but she's mine now." Tori repeated, and felt so much better about the future.

Once again cleaning out my back stories. Those that are good enough, that's kinda what this anthology is for.
