Victorious: Falling Pieces #7
Surprisingly, Jade West and Tori Vega didn't have sex that night, but they did manage to do everything but. As Jade shut the door, Tori crawled onto the bed and planted her face in the pillow, saying how much she needed this. Hitting the lights and turning on a small lamp, Jade undressed to her giant old t-shirt and boy shorts and crawled next to Tori, Jade held Tori as the broken-hearted Latina teen sobbed in her arms. No words were exchanged for several minutes, Tori's head remaining planted firmly on Jade's supple chest.
Jade didn't know what was going on with Tori, but the feel of her warm body once again tightly against hers in her bed and she felt a fire in her reawaken. She moved Tori's head upwards, and as soon as they made eye contact, they shared a few simple kisses, each getting a bit deeper and they got closer and closer to each other. Jade loved the taste of Tori's lips but the salty tears that were on Tori's face threw a whole new flavor into the mix.
Tori nestled her face deep into Jade's neck, lightly kissing while Jade's hands held Tori firmly in place, touching her with reassurance and concern just as much as lust. Pulling away for only a moment and standing, Tori's shirt was over her head and her skinny jeans were slid off her body in the dark quickly. As Tori, clad only in a black lace bra and panties, climbed back into bed, Jade couldn't help but marvel at her body in the dim lamplight, her curves silhouetted in ways, that if she were an artist, Jade could have made sculptures based solely on this moment.
The two girls entangled their bodies for several more minutes, Tori manically going back and forth from being sad and completely low all the way to full-fledged anim*listic sex b*ast. Finally, to Jade's dismay, Tori settled on crying into Jade's shoulder blade, and before long, Tori drifted off in absolute exhaustion.
Jade huffed in annoyance, as she had gotten pretty hot and bothered with no payoff. She was genuinely concerned with what was wrong with Tori, but right now she really needed a release. Grabbing her laptop back up, she checked to see if Freddie was still online, and seeing that he was, initiated a chat, trying to type as quietly as possible.
-Hey.
-Come to yell at me some more, Jade?
-Actually, no. But I stand by every word I said.
-I know it's unfair to put you in this position. And that's why I've talked to Sam and I think we might be better as friends for a while. I have kinda been acting spoiled and I think I need to sort me out before I do anymore dating. So, I'm just going to be friends with Sam. And I'd like for us to be friends.
-She dumped you, didn't she?
-Umnun… yeah. But that's beside the point.
-So, after all we've been through and all I've said, you just want to be friends? But, let me guess, friends with benefits with her?
-Nope… just friends. Half the reason we are in the awkward mess we are in is because I wanted to have both of you rather than making a decision. Maybe I'll figure it out one of these days.
-I guess that'll be a pretty interesting day, won't it, Freddie? I suppose I should be happy that you didn't just come right back to me when it happened. But truth be told, I do miss hanging out with you.
-Yeah so, sorry, you wanted to talk?
-Oh yeah... that pretty much answers what was going to talk to you about I guess. I know we talked about trying to hang out over Christmas break... I know Cat would probably want to see Carly. And... I guess if we're just being friends, I'd like to see you. Even Sam could come... I'm sure I could get her in the basement somewhere... My parents are insisting on going on some cruise for the holidays and I have zero interest in going to some hot island when I could be enjoying the cold here.
-So, you're saying your house would be empty and we could stay there?
-Don't get any ideas, horndog...
-I'm not. Think it would be ok if Spencer and Gibby came with? I know they'll probably come with.
-Freddie, I live in an old empty mansion. Yeah, I've got the space.
There was a really long pause where Jade typed variations on the phrase "I miss you," but deleted it over and over, doing her best to resist the urge to want him. She had nearly committed to saying something about her feelings when he messaged her.
-I'm sorry.
Jade was taken aback by his words, wondering if she was wrong and if she should just throw herself at him again. She shook the feeling off and wrote back.
-For what?
-I gave a lot of thought to what you said the other night, and you were one hundred percent right. I love Sam and she’s who I've always really thought of as the one. But this summer, that changed to you, and then there were two of "the one," which was confusing. And then all of a sudden you were a thousand miles away and as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fungus. Our long distance relationship just kinda turned into a situation where every night I was waxing poetic as you waxed your legs... and I don't know. Everything just seemed wrong with you and Sam all at once. I swear, if I could combine you into one, I'd be set for life, but I can't so I've got to be alone until I can sort it all out.
-Freddie...Can I be honest without you making a big deal?
-One way to find out.
-Ugh... I hate you. Fine. Freddie, I love you and I miss you, and to be honest, if I could, I would be with you right now. And I hate that feeling. That's the worst part. I easily slip from wanting to ravage you to wanting to set you on fire on a daily basis.
-…
-On. Fire. But I just want you to know that when you're ready to make that decision I will be waiting.
-See... that's the problem, Jade. I don't want you to be. I want you to date and be happy and live your life and not wait on me to get my shit together. If we are meant to be, we will. But knowing that you're out there waiting for me would just be unfair. You can't very well spend your life waiting on your life's falling pieces to find the right places. And believe me, the want for some ravaging is mutual whenever I think about you.
-Sorry babe, but we are circling the pyro portion of my feelings right now.
-Fair enough. I gotta get to sl*ep; lots of homework to deal with, but I will talk to you later.
-Bye.
And just like that, after two months of uncertainty and disappointment, with a nearly two hour chatting session, it was official. She was completely single, and yet was still going to open her house to her now ex-boyfriend and his friends. Jade took a deep breath and shut the laptop lid and slid it onto her dresser, sliding back into Tori's embrace as the Latina teen woke up.
"Jade?"
"Yeah, Vega?"
"Sorry for ruining our little-"
"It's cool. I really don't even know how it got started. You could make it up to me though by telling me what's going on," she said, half joking, as she stroked Tori's hair.
"I don't know, Jade... tonight has been one of the best and worst nights of my life all at once."
"Well, you could tell me about all the bad stuff and then talk about the good to ease yourself out of it."
Tori took a deep breath before spilling everything, "I might as well start at the top. So, I went on a date with Nate tonight. Had a good dinner and went to an amazing concert. I liked him, and I guess I still do, but I don't really know about anything for sure. Anyway, I came home to Beck and Trina having sex."
Jade's eyes went wide with utter disbelief. All the time she and Beck had dated, the two of them had mocked Trina constantly and the idea of the two of them together just blew her mind.
"I'm so sorry, sweetie," Jade said, unsure of what else to say, and pulled Tori closer in her embrace.
"I guess it's just one of those things. I ended things with Beck forever, and I guess I have to face Trina at some point, but tonight's not that night for sure." Tori nuzzled her face into Jade's chest. "I just want to stay in this bed with you until I can't feel these feelings anymore."
"Somehow I'm ok with that..." Jade said, grinning and pulling Tori's chin upwards for a short kiss. "You're sure about this, Vega? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't want to take advantage of you. At least, not in this state."
Tori sighed with the heave of Jade's breasts, and she slid closer to Jade. "Jade, I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I don't really want to have a night like we had the other day. I kinda just wanted to cuddle, you know? Just hold someone who wasn't going to betray me and be held by someone I cared for."
"Eh... I can live with that," Jade said, turning the lamp off and snuggling into bed, wrapping her arms around Tori as they both drifted off to a surprisingly peaceful sl*ep.
* * *
Tori spent the next three nights at Jade's house, only visiting her own to get clothes and other essentials. For the most part, the visits were completely uneventful, things only getting awkward when Tori would see her s*ster, who would then hide in her room until Tori left. Beck called a couple times, but she let them go to voicemail. Despite Jade's advice, Tori didn't want to delete them because he sounded very sincere with how sorry he was. Nate called a few times as well, and while she didn't ignore the calls, she kept them relatively short, never really saying much.
School was the worst part without a doubt. She had one class with Trina, but it was the three with Beck that caused her to want to scream inside. They would share a glance, and it would fill her with ten different emotions all at once, and she'd have to go to the bathroom to collect herself. She found herself being more and more thankful for her friendship with Jade, and that thankfulness led to their sl*epovers becoming a bit more physical than either had expected. The only reason that Tori returned home was because her parents made her, promising to ground her if she didn't stay home for a while. She considered explaining what happened to her parents, but the can of worms that would be opened would be too great and her dad would completely lose it. She and Jade would hang out at Tori's house for a few more days before both girls decided to take a day or two without each other.
Tori wasn't the only person to feel like they were going through absolute hell. After being shunned by Cat and embarrassed by Trina, Robbie had become incredibly fragile and despite his destruction of the bully puppet, Rex was still haunting him in his head. Robbie was prone to snap at his friends, but in the process of trying to get over all his problems, he had gotten to be better friends with Andre and Nate. After hearing that Trina had slept with Beck, Robbie became sick to his stomach and actually didn't come to class the next day.
Cat, of course, was really sad that Robbie didn't want to talk to her at all, and she internalized her feelings and distanced herself from the group, believing her sexuality was the reason that he pushed her away, and that the others would do the same. Her pain was doubled when she realized that Jade, the person she long believed to be her true love, was now spending her nights with Tori.
Jade was doing surprisingly well considering getting dumped, but Freddie had really done it in a way that made her feel like it was going to be ok, and she was thankful that he wanted to try and be friends, the possibility of reconciliation hanging over them. Any bad feelings she had, she hid them from the others and used Tori as a distraction from her problems. It felt weird for the Goth teen to be spending all her time with a person she wanted to kill a year ago, but Jade couldn't imagine a better friend, and she was happy with the current arrangement. No relationships or feelings; just two friends having a good time and escaping from the banality of everyday life. And having her parents buy her a whole new phone certainly didn't hurt.
Beck spent the next week sulking for the most part, his shame overwhelming him even more when his friends began to shun him for his actions. Even Trina ran from him when he tried to approach her, believing that as pariahs they could get along, but Trina was more focused on redemption and making her s*ster not hate her. For Beck, the worst part was that he didn't have an escape. The night he left the Vega house after Tori caught him, he'd taken all of his pills, and finished off all the bottles... He's lucky he recovered from mixing the dr*gs in such a dangerous way, but now that they were gone, he was f*rced to face reality. His nights were filled with visions of what Tori was doing, imagining her in the arms of Jade or Nate, both versions driving him mad with anger and despair. He made a promise to try and make her love him again, and swore vengeance on Jade and Nate, believing them to be responsible for turning Tori against him.
Andre spent an afternoon with Tori a few days after the incident, and tried to reaffirm his role as her friend and let her know that she had his full support, and while Beck was his "boy," he had really crossed a line here. Tori couldn't stop herself from revealing the whole story to him, from the rough sex, to the actual vi*lence, to Jade, to her date with Nate. Hearing the whole story gave Andre some clarity and made him see that this wasn't coming from nowhere as he had originally thought. He considered talking to Beck and getting his version, but right now, it was clear that Tori needed to know she had friends.
Nate was exhausted with the whole concept of trying to win Tori's heart. They had an amazing date, and that flew out the window for some reason. Everyone seemed to know something that he didn't which was normal since he was the new guy, but he felt like there was something huge and Tori certainly wasn't talking to him about it. All she seemed to do lately was hang out with that Jade chick, and while there were plenty of other girls at the school, his mind was focused on Tori Vega. He knew he might be in trouble when both Robbie and Andre suddenly found reasons for him not to pursue her, but he couldn't help it and had to try.
* * *
It had been a full week since the breakup became final, and the more Tori thought about it, the worse she felt. She didn't exactly have the moral high ground, and with Jade in the mix, she knew she wasn't going down a path she would be proud of when she finally came out of this
Jade had talked her into going out to a rock club, and after dressing Tori to fit the part of the place, the two girls went on their way. Jade, sporting a few colored strips in her hair, was dressed in a black t-shirt with a V-neck rip, showing off her cleavage with a black vest, tight black jeans, and jet black boots. Tori had a similar look, but was more conservative; her shirt being un-torn, but her black jeans had holes in them, showing her tanned legs. Jade could tell Tori had a lot on her mind and figured loud music and dancing would change her disposition and get her out of this slump. As they pushed by the groups congregated at the entrance, they made it to the center of the crowd and started leisurely dancing, trying to get the feel of the music. It took a few songs, but when the right one came they found their sync.
Andrew WK's "You Will Remember Tonight," a somewhat telling title, really, was the song that kicked them into gear. The two girls jumped up and down in place, an activity that earned Jade some glances from guys nearby as her chest had quite a bit of bounce to it. Jade knew the looks that she was getting, and in the middle of the crowd, pressed her body against Tori's so that all the jumping and rocking pressed their figures closer and closer together, sending a clear signal that guys were not on this girl's menu. As they got closer, she could tell that Tori was a little uncomfortable with the PDA, but the Latina teen did seem to be laughing and smiling a lot more than usual.
"You should relax, Vega. You look really hot!" Jade said, trying to speak over the crowd and the music.
"I wish I could. You know how us doing that kind of thing in front of people makes me nervous."
"Yeah, I remember you pushing me into my car, as we kissed outside of it, because you thought someone was walking towards us. Tori, we are girls. Girls do this kind of thing all the time and no one thinks twice."
"Maybe you don't but I can't help but think about what others think," Tori said as her dancing slowed.
Some Disturbed number came up next, and the heavy dancing ceased for a bit, allowing the girls to talk a bit as they casually moved.
"So, you don't want to dance with me? That's cool... We can find some guys here-"
"It's not that, Jade. I'm having a really good time... I just feel awkward because some people were staring."
"They weren't staring at us because of that, Vega. I know exactly why they were staring. I'm rocking like a foot of cleavage and my tits move when I move, and don't act like you didn't know that. Guys like to look, and I know I look like a whore, but I'm just wanting attention."
"Is that why we have… you know... because you just want attention?" Tori hadn't meant for the question to come out like it did, but once it was out, she had no choice.
Jade was taken aback for a moment, "No way, Vega. We are friends and we have physical needs and we just work things out and we have a good time. Like I keep telling you, we aren't cheating or anything."
"So you're just doing me just to do me. Just like Beck was with Trina? Jade-"
"Stop right there!" Jade said, grabbing Tori's arm and pulling her to a nearby wall so that she could focus on their conversation. "Look, don't you dare compare me to them. We aren't-"
"Jade... I didn't mean it like that. I love you and you're my best friend, but I sometimes get confused about what we are doing."
"Do you want to stop?" Jade asked, sighing and taking Tori's hands in her own.
"No," she quickly said, and retracted it, "well, I don't know. I-"
"LOOK AT THOSE LESBOS!"
The two girls looked over on the dance floor to see two guys in their early twenties, one of which Jade remembered from watching her dance.
"HEY... MAKE OUT! I'LL GIVE YOU TEN BUCKS TO STICK YOUR TONGUE IN HER MOUTH!"
Jade pulled from Tori and walked over to the guys, her sickly sweet smile plastered across her face.
"You want us to kiss each other for money? Do you like that kind of thing?"
"Fuck yeah!" they said in dr*nken unison.
"Have you ever seen two girls make out before?"
"No..." said one of them, before adding "at least none as fucking hot as you."
"Aren't you just the sweetest? Well, guys... that's my s*ster... my 'twin' s*ster, over there, so it's gonna need to be more a lot more than just ten bucks, gentlemen. I mean, we are ladies with standards, you know."
The two dr*nks searched their wallets while Jade told Tori what the situation was, and made sure she was ok with it. She whispered a plan in Tori's ear, before sauntering over to the guys again.
"We have 96 dollars... Please let us watch you girls kiss. Could you play with each other too?"
Jade nodded slowly. "You could watch us do more than that for that much money... but why don't we go somewhere private like that broom closet," Jade pointed behind Tori at the door and motioned them towards it. They handed her the wad of cash which Jade slid into her cleavage sensuously, and it was clear one of them was already sporting an erection.
Tori opened the door of the darkened room, grabbed a broom from inside and stood by one of the double doors as Jade led the guys into the darkness.
"Could you boys do one thing first?"
"Sure... anything, baby."
"Well, first, don't call me baby. And two," Jade said slipping back outside the door with Tori, "check out porn the next time you want to see this sick shit!"
Jade slid out just as the doors shut and the guys tackled the door in the dark. Tori threw the broom through the handles and took a deep breath, hearing a crash and shouting several obscenities inside.
"And what was the point of that?"
"I don't like it when people disrespect me... or you."
"They were just a couple dr*nks, Jade. And it's not like we weren't acting like we were-"
"Like we were what, Vega? Like we were friends who have a good time? I made us 96 dollars, and I was going to split it with you, but now-"
"Jade..."
"I knew you cared about the money, Vega," Jade said, smiling. Her bright white teeth contrasted amazingly with her dark red, almost bl*od colored, lips.
"I think this was a mistake Jade. I don't really feel comfortable right now. Those guys are gonna get out soon, and I feel really out of place here. This is even more awkward than the Gorilla Club."
"Fine... let's get out of here and go back to my place. I think I know of a way or two to make you feel better…"
"Actually, I think I'm just gonna go home. I'm really tired."
"Did I-"
"It's not you, Jade. I guess I'm getting a rush of reality and my stomach is really twisted. I don't know what's up but I will hang out tomorrow. I think I just need to sl*ep."
"Ok... let's go. I will hang on to the money... maybe I'll buy you some rocker chick clothes so you're not stuck wearing mine next time."
"Next time?" Tori gulped with a nervous grin.
"Oh, yeah... there's always a next time."
The two drove in silence for several minutes before Jade finally spoke up again.
"You kinda disappointed me Vega."
"Ummm... ok. How?"
"Well," Jade pulled into an empty parking lot, parking, and turned to Tori. "I was really wanting to take you back to my place. Rip those old clothes off you. You do the same to me... I know you were staring at my rack as much as those guys tonight. I was thinking," Jade slid over towards the nervous Latina, whispering in her ear, "about how our naked bodies would be covered in sweat and we'd have to clean up with a shower. And you know how lonely I get in that shower..."
Tori's eyes closed as she felt Jade's lips on her earlobe, eliciting a small moan.
"And after we get clean, we would get dirty again. I think you like that part, don't you?" Jade loved the way Tori was reacting as the thin teen nodded to the clearly rhetorical question. "I was thinking you were so hot and sexy and fucking gorgeous that I might want to taste that sex."
Tori licked her lips sensuously.
"Where would you say that I could taste you the most? Here?" Jade's fingers ran over Tori's lips sensuously before lowering down to her chest. "Or here?" Tori's nipples were very hard, and Jade loved running her thumbs over the points as Tori bit her lip. "Or..." Jade's hand rushed down Tori's midsection to the massive heat and moistness between Tori's legs. "Oh I think we have a winner." Tori nodded weakly as Jade slid her tongue out licking Tori's sensitive neck. "You want me to shove my hot, spongy and very wet tongue deep inside your pretty pink pussy, Vega?"
Jade stroked the front of Tori's pants as she moaned, as if to plead for her to either stop or to stop teasing her.
"Are you sure you want to go home now, Vega?" she whispered, kissing Tori's neck while she applied pressure to her core.
Tori was about to respond when there were a knock on Jade's car window that scared both girls half to death. They got very nervous when they saw it was a cop, but felt relief that it wasn't one of the dr*nk guys. This relief disappeared with the cop turned out to be none other than Mr. Vega.
Jade didn't have to roll her window down to her him shout, "Victoria! Car. Now!"
Tori said nothing as she bolted from the car and her father opened the back of his squad car, and after a very angry look was exchanged by Jade and Sgt Vega, the police car took off full speed.
Jade cursed to herself in her car punching the steering wheel as hard as she could.
* * *
Not surprisingly, the Vegas were incredibly upset when her dad brought Tori home and explained what Tori was doing when he found her. They told her that their sl*epovers were over and that she was not welcome at the house anytime soon. Tori tried to fight back, but she just got herself in deeper and deeper trouble. The real death knell came when they told her how disappointed they were in her and that they thought she was raised better than that. The shame and disappointment rained down all over her, and it stung even more as tears streamed down her embarrassed face.
Trina watched the big blow-up from the stairs, seeing that this was what Beck was talking about that night. Was her sister gay, she thought. Is that why she wasn't satisfied with Beck? As Tori rose from the couch, practically a zombie from her exhaustion, Trina retreated back to her room, and just said a soft "I'm sorry" as Tori went in her room before slamming the door behind her.
Tori's phone buzzed and she raced to check it, seeing that she had missed a call and four texts from Jade. She scrolled through them quickly, planning a single response to them all.
-You ok?
-I'm sorry about your dad, I shouldn't have acted like that.
-Tori, I miss you and please text me when you get this.
-Are you mad at me?
Tori texted her that she wasn't mad but her parents really were. She explained that Jade wasn't welcome there anymore and that they couldn't have sl*epovers anymore. Tori waited for several minutes before she just got a single response.
-K
And that was the last she heard from Jade until school on Monday. But that wasn't the most intense moment that happened inside the Vega house that weekend by a longshot.
* * *
Tori came down for lunch the next day, trying to avoid eye contact with both her mom, since her dad was out on patrol, and her s*ster. As she choked down the ham sandwich and some chips, Tori tried not to let any of them see how miserable she was, and she never said a word. She would have retreated back to her room until the next meal if there hadn't been a knock on the door.
Mrs. Vega headed over to the door, knowing that Gary, her husband's partner, was going to stop by to pick her up and see a movie, but was sorely disappointed when it was revealed Robbie was behind the door. Upon seeing her former beau, Trina took off up the stairs before he could see her. Mrs. Vega was just about to shut the door when she heard a car honk. She didn't say a word as she grabbed her purse and ran out the door, leaving Tori sitting at the dinner table by herself while Robbie awkwardly stood in the den.
"So... you doing ok?"
"I'm fine, Robbie... why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know... we haven't really talked much since you and Beck split up... and I guess I was in the neighborhood and just wanted to check on you," he said, sitting down on the couch as she walked over and sat across from him.
"I'm fine... really. You, and everyone else, have been really supportive, but I'm fine now."
"You'll forgive me Tori, but you don't look fine. You look absolutely awful and you've clearly been crying. Just tell me what's up."
"Robbie, you're a good guy... I promise that I'm past this whole Beck thing."
"What about Nate? That guy won't stop talking about you, especially after you guys had that date-"
"It wasn't a date."
"Tori, he bought you dinner and took you to a concert and you kissed him-"
"On the cheek."
"...but you kissed him nonetheless. That was a date. Just admit it."
Tori sighed heavily, sinking into the chair cushion, knowing that Robbie was right, but not wanting to admit that to him. He did become pretty big headed when he was proven right about stuff. "Fine. It was a date."
"See? Was that so hard?"
"Yeah... but I don't know if I like him like that. He's nice and he's sweet, but I think I just want to be single for a while."
"You have to get back on the horse at some point, and as much as I have crushed on you, I can say with all honesty that Nate's a good guy for you."
"Robbie, I'm sorry but don't push me into dating that guy. My life isn't some TV show where all the feelings get wrapped up and I start anew tomorrow. I wish it was, but I really think I need some actual time to breathe. Ok?"
"Ok... if you ever want to talk though-"
"I will let you know."
"Actually," Robbie said, shrugging, "I was going to tell you to talk to him."
"That's it, Robbie! Out!"
"Wait!"
Tori and Robbie looked over at the stairs where Trina had called out from, both unsure of how to respond or even if what she had to say was worth listening to.
"Tori, you're my s*ster and I'd like to talk to you later but I really want to talk to Robbie right now."
Tori looked over at Robbie as if to ask if this was ok with him, and he nodded, and Tori ran up the stairs leaving the two former lovers face to face.
"Look, Robbie-"
"No… you're going to listen to me first."
"I just-"
"I'm going to say my piece, and then when I get done, then I will hear you out. That's the only way that I will stand here and listen to you. Deal?"
Trina nodded slowly and stood by the end of the stairs.
"Ok, I'm going to start with the most recent knife you shoved into my back. You fucked my best friend. Or at least he used to be. I know we aren't dating and haven't been... maybe ever, but that seriously upset me. I was crazy about you, Trina. I was willing to hide in places and sneak around to see you, and not a lot of guys would have the patience to deal with that kind of thing, but you know what? I sucked it up because I really liked you and I believed in you and I believed that you would change and we could be happy. But I was wrong, wasn't I? I was sooooo wrong about you. You were just a shallow cunt that threw me under the bus and then ran me over with it." He stopped for a moment, seeing her face flare up, knowing tears were about to come, wondering if he should have dropped that c-bomb. "You told everyone I essentially ****d you. Even for you that was low, and while everyone knows the truth now, there is still that air of 'maybe he really is' that I get in every look from everyone at school. And that's on you."
"But I have paid for that-"
"No. you haven't... and wait. I'm not done yet. The worst part of all of this is that I actually pity you now. Everyone at school already knew you were completely untalented, but in the last month you have shown everyone that you are a liar, a whore, and just complete and utter shit. Ok… that's my two cents. Now spill whatever you have to say so I can leave."
Trina was fighting back her tears, desperately trying to keep it together after this total verbal assault. Taking a deep breath, she responded as best she could.
"I'm sorry."
"That's it? All you have is-"
"Look, I'm sorry. There's no excuse for what I did and nobody hates me more than I hate myself right now. I freaked out that day we were caught and reverted back to being that awful selfish person that I was before we got together. I'm sorry about the Beck thing. It happened and I have never felt more disgusted with myself that I let it happen. I thought of you the whole time."
"Oh yeah... that makes me feel so much better, Trina."
"What do you want me to say, Robbie? I fucked up. Royally. I hate the way things are right now and I missed you. Especially as my boyfriend, but I really just miss my friend more than anything else. I was scared and alone and everyone hated me, and I drank a bit and he called me pretty, and I was so low that I just let it happen. It was my biggest low point in my life."
"Well, be that as it may, our relationship, or whatever it was, because it sure wasn't a real relationship is over and there's no going back to that. But I guess with time, maybe we could be friends again. I don't know."
"We could at least share the same space without you wanting to strangle me," Trina said, the first tears falling from her eyes as she moved towards Robbie.
He took a step back as he spoke, "I don't want to strangle you, Trina. At least, not anymore. I'm just disappointed and hurt. You are a very good looking girl and I'm just a weird nerd. I thought I had hit the jackpot with you and when everything came crashing down, I was left alone and I felt like I wanted to die. I mean, for a while, I actually blamed myself for what happened. But anyway... look, I don't hate you and I still care a lot, but we aren't going to be friends for a while, so I will just talk to you when that time comes." Inside, Robbie was struggling. He wanted to tell her he still cared for her and he wanted to get back with her, especially since Cat fell through, but he remained strong and resisted the lonely urges.
"Ok... I will talk to you then, Robbie." Trina went in for a hug, but he turned and walked out the door, leaving her alone with her tears, which poured out once she knew he was out of sight. She turned and went back up the stairs, her mind racing with what to say to her s*ster.
As she rounded the hall to the bedrooms, she heard Tori over her shoulder.
"I forgive you."
"What?"
"Yeah..." Tori leaned her head against her bedroom doorframe. "I heard what you were saying down there. I'm not happy and I certainly don't like that it happened, but I understand what you did. I did the same thing with Jade when Beck and I had a fight, so I get it. I don't really want to talk anymore, but you're my s*ster and we should be able to move on."
"Tori, thank you so-"
"I'm probably going to hold this over you for a long time, but I think the way you handled yourself when Robbie was going off, which he had every right to, was really adult and you could have ran away and hid like you have the last several days, but you took it and I don't want to pile on you with everything. I hardly have the right to cast the first stone in this situation, so we're cool."
Trina rushed and hugged her s*ster tight before Tori walked back her room, shutting the bedroom door behind her.
* * *
It took three days for Tori and Trina to actually have a conversation again, and when the subject matter in the car turned to boys, Trina seemed guarded, but certainly her normal self.
"So you're telling me that the guy you've been dangling for weeks is the son of the Jeremiah Shepherd? The movie producer?"
"Yeah... why?" Tori said.
"Because he's Jeremiah Shepherd... and he is probably looking for talent for his next movie, which I know I would be perfect for."
"Trina…"
"I'm serious. If you don't want to date that guy, just give him to me. I would certainly take advantage over some hot rich guy fawning all over me if you won't." Inside, Trina was a bit worried her words were going to loop around to the Beck thing, but luckily, Tori didn't seem to notice.
"And I'm sure Nate would appreciate having someone who is just there for those reasons."
"Well, why aren't you dating him then?"
"I don't know… I just think I need to be single for a while."
"I don't understand how we could be siblings…"
Tori just shook her head at her s*ster as they drove to school. Trina had a point. Nate was an all-around good guy, but she just was dragging her feet on giving him a chance for some reason. The thought crossed her mind several times during the first few classes, and she was confronted right before lunch.
"Hey, Tori."
"Nate… heyyyy… how's it going?"
"Eh, I can't really complain. How about you?"
"I'm... surviving, I guess."
"Well, that's as good as anything, I s'pose. Look, I know something has been going on, and I know we haven't exactly crossed that friend line where we tell each other stuff, but I just wanted to say that I was here if you wanted to talk."
"Well, I appreciate that, Nate."
"I'm especially here if you're free Friday night. Maybe have dinner together and hang out or whatever."
"I can’t Nate... I'm sorry." She saw his head droop and Tori started to respond but her phone started butting. "Sorry…"
"It's fine. I figured it was worth a shot," he said before starting to walk away.
A quick look down alerted Tori that it was Beck calling her. She took only a second before looking back up at Nate, and then hitting the ignore button.
"I can't Friday... but how about… Saturday?" she said, earning a smile from Nate, which caused her to smile back. I deserve to be happy, she thought, as she threw her books in her locker and headed out to meet all her friends.
Surprisingly, Jade West and Tori Vega didn't have sex that night, but they did manage to do everything but. As Jade shut the door, Tori crawled onto the bed and planted her face in the pillow, saying how much she needed this. Hitting the lights and turning on a small lamp, Jade undressed to her giant old t-shirt and boy shorts and crawled next to Tori, Jade held Tori as the broken-hearted Latina teen sobbed in her arms. No words were exchanged for several minutes, Tori's head remaining planted firmly on Jade's supple chest.
Jade didn't know what was going on with Tori, but the feel of her warm body once again tightly against hers in her bed and she felt a fire in her reawaken. She moved Tori's head upwards, and as soon as they made eye contact, they shared a few simple kisses, each getting a bit deeper and they got closer and closer to each other. Jade loved the taste of Tori's lips but the salty tears that were on Tori's face threw a whole new flavor into the mix.
Tori nestled her face deep into Jade's neck, lightly kissing while Jade's hands held Tori firmly in place, touching her with reassurance and concern just as much as lust. Pulling away for only a moment and standing, Tori's shirt was over her head and her skinny jeans were slid off her body in the dark quickly. As Tori, clad only in a black lace bra and panties, climbed back into bed, Jade couldn't help but marvel at her body in the dim lamplight, her curves silhouetted in ways, that if she were an artist, Jade could have made sculptures based solely on this moment.
The two girls entangled their bodies for several more minutes, Tori manically going back and forth from being sad and completely low all the way to full-fledged anim*listic sex b*ast. Finally, to Jade's dismay, Tori settled on crying into Jade's shoulder blade, and before long, Tori drifted off in absolute exhaustion.
Jade huffed in annoyance, as she had gotten pretty hot and bothered with no payoff. She was genuinely concerned with what was wrong with Tori, but right now she really needed a release. Grabbing her laptop back up, she checked to see if Freddie was still online, and seeing that he was, initiated a chat, trying to type as quietly as possible.
-Hey.
-Come to yell at me some more, Jade?
-Actually, no. But I stand by every word I said.
-I know it's unfair to put you in this position. And that's why I've talked to Sam and I think we might be better as friends for a while. I have kinda been acting spoiled and I think I need to sort me out before I do anymore dating. So, I'm just going to be friends with Sam. And I'd like for us to be friends.
-She dumped you, didn't she?
-Umnun… yeah. But that's beside the point.
-So, after all we've been through and all I've said, you just want to be friends? But, let me guess, friends with benefits with her?
-Nope… just friends. Half the reason we are in the awkward mess we are in is because I wanted to have both of you rather than making a decision. Maybe I'll figure it out one of these days.
-I guess that'll be a pretty interesting day, won't it, Freddie? I suppose I should be happy that you didn't just come right back to me when it happened. But truth be told, I do miss hanging out with you.
-Yeah so, sorry, you wanted to talk?
-Oh yeah... that pretty much answers what was going to talk to you about I guess. I know we talked about trying to hang out over Christmas break... I know Cat would probably want to see Carly. And... I guess if we're just being friends, I'd like to see you. Even Sam could come... I'm sure I could get her in the basement somewhere... My parents are insisting on going on some cruise for the holidays and I have zero interest in going to some hot island when I could be enjoying the cold here.
-So, you're saying your house would be empty and we could stay there?
-Don't get any ideas, horndog...
-I'm not. Think it would be ok if Spencer and Gibby came with? I know they'll probably come with.
-Freddie, I live in an old empty mansion. Yeah, I've got the space.
There was a really long pause where Jade typed variations on the phrase "I miss you," but deleted it over and over, doing her best to resist the urge to want him. She had nearly committed to saying something about her feelings when he messaged her.
-I'm sorry.
Jade was taken aback by his words, wondering if she was wrong and if she should just throw herself at him again. She shook the feeling off and wrote back.
-For what?
-I gave a lot of thought to what you said the other night, and you were one hundred percent right. I love Sam and she’s who I've always really thought of as the one. But this summer, that changed to you, and then there were two of "the one," which was confusing. And then all of a sudden you were a thousand miles away and as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fungus. Our long distance relationship just kinda turned into a situation where every night I was waxing poetic as you waxed your legs... and I don't know. Everything just seemed wrong with you and Sam all at once. I swear, if I could combine you into one, I'd be set for life, but I can't so I've got to be alone until I can sort it all out.
-Freddie...Can I be honest without you making a big deal?
-One way to find out.
-Ugh... I hate you. Fine. Freddie, I love you and I miss you, and to be honest, if I could, I would be with you right now. And I hate that feeling. That's the worst part. I easily slip from wanting to ravage you to wanting to set you on fire on a daily basis.
-…
-On. Fire. But I just want you to know that when you're ready to make that decision I will be waiting.
-See... that's the problem, Jade. I don't want you to be. I want you to date and be happy and live your life and not wait on me to get my shit together. If we are meant to be, we will. But knowing that you're out there waiting for me would just be unfair. You can't very well spend your life waiting on your life's falling pieces to find the right places. And believe me, the want for some ravaging is mutual whenever I think about you.
-Sorry babe, but we are circling the pyro portion of my feelings right now.
-Fair enough. I gotta get to sl*ep; lots of homework to deal with, but I will talk to you later.
-Bye.
And just like that, after two months of uncertainty and disappointment, with a nearly two hour chatting session, it was official. She was completely single, and yet was still going to open her house to her now ex-boyfriend and his friends. Jade took a deep breath and shut the laptop lid and slid it onto her dresser, sliding back into Tori's embrace as the Latina teen woke up.
"Jade?"
"Yeah, Vega?"
"Sorry for ruining our little-"
"It's cool. I really don't even know how it got started. You could make it up to me though by telling me what's going on," she said, half joking, as she stroked Tori's hair.
"I don't know, Jade... tonight has been one of the best and worst nights of my life all at once."
"Well, you could tell me about all the bad stuff and then talk about the good to ease yourself out of it."
Tori took a deep breath before spilling everything, "I might as well start at the top. So, I went on a date with Nate tonight. Had a good dinner and went to an amazing concert. I liked him, and I guess I still do, but I don't really know about anything for sure. Anyway, I came home to Beck and Trina having sex."
Jade's eyes went wide with utter disbelief. All the time she and Beck had dated, the two of them had mocked Trina constantly and the idea of the two of them together just blew her mind.
"I'm so sorry, sweetie," Jade said, unsure of what else to say, and pulled Tori closer in her embrace.
"I guess it's just one of those things. I ended things with Beck forever, and I guess I have to face Trina at some point, but tonight's not that night for sure." Tori nuzzled her face into Jade's chest. "I just want to stay in this bed with you until I can't feel these feelings anymore."
"Somehow I'm ok with that..." Jade said, grinning and pulling Tori's chin upwards for a short kiss. "You're sure about this, Vega? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I don't want to take advantage of you. At least, not in this state."
Tori sighed with the heave of Jade's breasts, and she slid closer to Jade. "Jade, I don't want you to get the wrong idea. I don't really want to have a night like we had the other day. I kinda just wanted to cuddle, you know? Just hold someone who wasn't going to betray me and be held by someone I cared for."
"Eh... I can live with that," Jade said, turning the lamp off and snuggling into bed, wrapping her arms around Tori as they both drifted off to a surprisingly peaceful sl*ep.
* * *
Tori spent the next three nights at Jade's house, only visiting her own to get clothes and other essentials. For the most part, the visits were completely uneventful, things only getting awkward when Tori would see her s*ster, who would then hide in her room until Tori left. Beck called a couple times, but she let them go to voicemail. Despite Jade's advice, Tori didn't want to delete them because he sounded very sincere with how sorry he was. Nate called a few times as well, and while she didn't ignore the calls, she kept them relatively short, never really saying much.
School was the worst part without a doubt. She had one class with Trina, but it was the three with Beck that caused her to want to scream inside. They would share a glance, and it would fill her with ten different emotions all at once, and she'd have to go to the bathroom to collect herself. She found herself being more and more thankful for her friendship with Jade, and that thankfulness led to their sl*epovers becoming a bit more physical than either had expected. The only reason that Tori returned home was because her parents made her, promising to ground her if she didn't stay home for a while. She considered explaining what happened to her parents, but the can of worms that would be opened would be too great and her dad would completely lose it. She and Jade would hang out at Tori's house for a few more days before both girls decided to take a day or two without each other.
Tori wasn't the only person to feel like they were going through absolute hell. After being shunned by Cat and embarrassed by Trina, Robbie had become incredibly fragile and despite his destruction of the bully puppet, Rex was still haunting him in his head. Robbie was prone to snap at his friends, but in the process of trying to get over all his problems, he had gotten to be better friends with Andre and Nate. After hearing that Trina had slept with Beck, Robbie became sick to his stomach and actually didn't come to class the next day.
Cat, of course, was really sad that Robbie didn't want to talk to her at all, and she internalized her feelings and distanced herself from the group, believing her sexuality was the reason that he pushed her away, and that the others would do the same. Her pain was doubled when she realized that Jade, the person she long believed to be her true love, was now spending her nights with Tori.
Jade was doing surprisingly well considering getting dumped, but Freddie had really done it in a way that made her feel like it was going to be ok, and she was thankful that he wanted to try and be friends, the possibility of reconciliation hanging over them. Any bad feelings she had, she hid them from the others and used Tori as a distraction from her problems. It felt weird for the Goth teen to be spending all her time with a person she wanted to kill a year ago, but Jade couldn't imagine a better friend, and she was happy with the current arrangement. No relationships or feelings; just two friends having a good time and escaping from the banality of everyday life. And having her parents buy her a whole new phone certainly didn't hurt.
Beck spent the next week sulking for the most part, his shame overwhelming him even more when his friends began to shun him for his actions. Even Trina ran from him when he tried to approach her, believing that as pariahs they could get along, but Trina was more focused on redemption and making her s*ster not hate her. For Beck, the worst part was that he didn't have an escape. The night he left the Vega house after Tori caught him, he'd taken all of his pills, and finished off all the bottles... He's lucky he recovered from mixing the dr*gs in such a dangerous way, but now that they were gone, he was f*rced to face reality. His nights were filled with visions of what Tori was doing, imagining her in the arms of Jade or Nate, both versions driving him mad with anger and despair. He made a promise to try and make her love him again, and swore vengeance on Jade and Nate, believing them to be responsible for turning Tori against him.
Andre spent an afternoon with Tori a few days after the incident, and tried to reaffirm his role as her friend and let her know that she had his full support, and while Beck was his "boy," he had really crossed a line here. Tori couldn't stop herself from revealing the whole story to him, from the rough sex, to the actual vi*lence, to Jade, to her date with Nate. Hearing the whole story gave Andre some clarity and made him see that this wasn't coming from nowhere as he had originally thought. He considered talking to Beck and getting his version, but right now, it was clear that Tori needed to know she had friends.
Nate was exhausted with the whole concept of trying to win Tori's heart. They had an amazing date, and that flew out the window for some reason. Everyone seemed to know something that he didn't which was normal since he was the new guy, but he felt like there was something huge and Tori certainly wasn't talking to him about it. All she seemed to do lately was hang out with that Jade chick, and while there were plenty of other girls at the school, his mind was focused on Tori Vega. He knew he might be in trouble when both Robbie and Andre suddenly found reasons for him not to pursue her, but he couldn't help it and had to try.
* * *
It had been a full week since the breakup became final, and the more Tori thought about it, the worse she felt. She didn't exactly have the moral high ground, and with Jade in the mix, she knew she wasn't going down a path she would be proud of when she finally came out of this
Jade had talked her into going out to a rock club, and after dressing Tori to fit the part of the place, the two girls went on their way. Jade, sporting a few colored strips in her hair, was dressed in a black t-shirt with a V-neck rip, showing off her cleavage with a black vest, tight black jeans, and jet black boots. Tori had a similar look, but was more conservative; her shirt being un-torn, but her black jeans had holes in them, showing her tanned legs. Jade could tell Tori had a lot on her mind and figured loud music and dancing would change her disposition and get her out of this slump. As they pushed by the groups congregated at the entrance, they made it to the center of the crowd and started leisurely dancing, trying to get the feel of the music. It took a few songs, but when the right one came they found their sync.
Andrew WK's "You Will Remember Tonight," a somewhat telling title, really, was the song that kicked them into gear. The two girls jumped up and down in place, an activity that earned Jade some glances from guys nearby as her chest had quite a bit of bounce to it. Jade knew the looks that she was getting, and in the middle of the crowd, pressed her body against Tori's so that all the jumping and rocking pressed their figures closer and closer together, sending a clear signal that guys were not on this girl's menu. As they got closer, she could tell that Tori was a little uncomfortable with the PDA, but the Latina teen did seem to be laughing and smiling a lot more than usual.
"You should relax, Vega. You look really hot!" Jade said, trying to speak over the crowd and the music.
"I wish I could. You know how us doing that kind of thing in front of people makes me nervous."
"Yeah, I remember you pushing me into my car, as we kissed outside of it, because you thought someone was walking towards us. Tori, we are girls. Girls do this kind of thing all the time and no one thinks twice."
"Maybe you don't but I can't help but think about what others think," Tori said as her dancing slowed.
Some Disturbed number came up next, and the heavy dancing ceased for a bit, allowing the girls to talk a bit as they casually moved.
"So, you don't want to dance with me? That's cool... We can find some guys here-"
"It's not that, Jade. I'm having a really good time... I just feel awkward because some people were staring."
"They weren't staring at us because of that, Vega. I know exactly why they were staring. I'm rocking like a foot of cleavage and my tits move when I move, and don't act like you didn't know that. Guys like to look, and I know I look like a whore, but I'm just wanting attention."
"Is that why we have… you know... because you just want attention?" Tori hadn't meant for the question to come out like it did, but once it was out, she had no choice.
Jade was taken aback for a moment, "No way, Vega. We are friends and we have physical needs and we just work things out and we have a good time. Like I keep telling you, we aren't cheating or anything."
"So you're just doing me just to do me. Just like Beck was with Trina? Jade-"
"Stop right there!" Jade said, grabbing Tori's arm and pulling her to a nearby wall so that she could focus on their conversation. "Look, don't you dare compare me to them. We aren't-"
"Jade... I didn't mean it like that. I love you and you're my best friend, but I sometimes get confused about what we are doing."
"Do you want to stop?" Jade asked, sighing and taking Tori's hands in her own.
"No," she quickly said, and retracted it, "well, I don't know. I-"
"LOOK AT THOSE LESBOS!"
The two girls looked over on the dance floor to see two guys in their early twenties, one of which Jade remembered from watching her dance.
"HEY... MAKE OUT! I'LL GIVE YOU TEN BUCKS TO STICK YOUR TONGUE IN HER MOUTH!"
Jade pulled from Tori and walked over to the guys, her sickly sweet smile plastered across her face.
"You want us to kiss each other for money? Do you like that kind of thing?"
"Fuck yeah!" they said in dr*nken unison.
"Have you ever seen two girls make out before?"
"No..." said one of them, before adding "at least none as fucking hot as you."
"Aren't you just the sweetest? Well, guys... that's my s*ster... my 'twin' s*ster, over there, so it's gonna need to be more a lot more than just ten bucks, gentlemen. I mean, we are ladies with standards, you know."
The two dr*nks searched their wallets while Jade told Tori what the situation was, and made sure she was ok with it. She whispered a plan in Tori's ear, before sauntering over to the guys again.
"We have 96 dollars... Please let us watch you girls kiss. Could you play with each other too?"
Jade nodded slowly. "You could watch us do more than that for that much money... but why don't we go somewhere private like that broom closet," Jade pointed behind Tori at the door and motioned them towards it. They handed her the wad of cash which Jade slid into her cleavage sensuously, and it was clear one of them was already sporting an erection.
Tori opened the door of the darkened room, grabbed a broom from inside and stood by one of the double doors as Jade led the guys into the darkness.
"Could you boys do one thing first?"
"Sure... anything, baby."
"Well, first, don't call me baby. And two," Jade said slipping back outside the door with Tori, "check out porn the next time you want to see this sick shit!"
Jade slid out just as the doors shut and the guys tackled the door in the dark. Tori threw the broom through the handles and took a deep breath, hearing a crash and shouting several obscenities inside.
"And what was the point of that?"
"I don't like it when people disrespect me... or you."
"They were just a couple dr*nks, Jade. And it's not like we weren't acting like we were-"
"Like we were what, Vega? Like we were friends who have a good time? I made us 96 dollars, and I was going to split it with you, but now-"
"Jade..."
"I knew you cared about the money, Vega," Jade said, smiling. Her bright white teeth contrasted amazingly with her dark red, almost bl*od colored, lips.
"I think this was a mistake Jade. I don't really feel comfortable right now. Those guys are gonna get out soon, and I feel really out of place here. This is even more awkward than the Gorilla Club."
"Fine... let's get out of here and go back to my place. I think I know of a way or two to make you feel better…"
"Actually, I think I'm just gonna go home. I'm really tired."
"Did I-"
"It's not you, Jade. I guess I'm getting a rush of reality and my stomach is really twisted. I don't know what's up but I will hang out tomorrow. I think I just need to sl*ep."
"Ok... let's go. I will hang on to the money... maybe I'll buy you some rocker chick clothes so you're not stuck wearing mine next time."
"Next time?" Tori gulped with a nervous grin.
"Oh, yeah... there's always a next time."
The two drove in silence for several minutes before Jade finally spoke up again.
"You kinda disappointed me Vega."
"Ummm... ok. How?"
"Well," Jade pulled into an empty parking lot, parking, and turned to Tori. "I was really wanting to take you back to my place. Rip those old clothes off you. You do the same to me... I know you were staring at my rack as much as those guys tonight. I was thinking," Jade slid over towards the nervous Latina, whispering in her ear, "about how our naked bodies would be covered in sweat and we'd have to clean up with a shower. And you know how lonely I get in that shower..."
Tori's eyes closed as she felt Jade's lips on her earlobe, eliciting a small moan.
"And after we get clean, we would get dirty again. I think you like that part, don't you?" Jade loved the way Tori was reacting as the thin teen nodded to the clearly rhetorical question. "I was thinking you were so hot and sexy and fucking gorgeous that I might want to taste that sex."
Tori licked her lips sensuously.
"Where would you say that I could taste you the most? Here?" Jade's fingers ran over Tori's lips sensuously before lowering down to her chest. "Or here?" Tori's nipples were very hard, and Jade loved running her thumbs over the points as Tori bit her lip. "Or..." Jade's hand rushed down Tori's midsection to the massive heat and moistness between Tori's legs. "Oh I think we have a winner." Tori nodded weakly as Jade slid her tongue out licking Tori's sensitive neck. "You want me to shove my hot, spongy and very wet tongue deep inside your pretty pink pussy, Vega?"
Jade stroked the front of Tori's pants as she moaned, as if to plead for her to either stop or to stop teasing her.
"Are you sure you want to go home now, Vega?" she whispered, kissing Tori's neck while she applied pressure to her core.
Tori was about to respond when there were a knock on Jade's car window that scared both girls half to death. They got very nervous when they saw it was a cop, but felt relief that it wasn't one of the dr*nk guys. This relief disappeared with the cop turned out to be none other than Mr. Vega.
Jade didn't have to roll her window down to her him shout, "Victoria! Car. Now!"
Tori said nothing as she bolted from the car and her father opened the back of his squad car, and after a very angry look was exchanged by Jade and Sgt Vega, the police car took off full speed.
Jade cursed to herself in her car punching the steering wheel as hard as she could.
* * *
Not surprisingly, the Vegas were incredibly upset when her dad brought Tori home and explained what Tori was doing when he found her. They told her that their sl*epovers were over and that she was not welcome at the house anytime soon. Tori tried to fight back, but she just got herself in deeper and deeper trouble. The real death knell came when they told her how disappointed they were in her and that they thought she was raised better than that. The shame and disappointment rained down all over her, and it stung even more as tears streamed down her embarrassed face.
Trina watched the big blow-up from the stairs, seeing that this was what Beck was talking about that night. Was her sister gay, she thought. Is that why she wasn't satisfied with Beck? As Tori rose from the couch, practically a zombie from her exhaustion, Trina retreated back to her room, and just said a soft "I'm sorry" as Tori went in her room before slamming the door behind her.
Tori's phone buzzed and she raced to check it, seeing that she had missed a call and four texts from Jade. She scrolled through them quickly, planning a single response to them all.
-You ok?
-I'm sorry about your dad, I shouldn't have acted like that.
-Tori, I miss you and please text me when you get this.
-Are you mad at me?
Tori texted her that she wasn't mad but her parents really were. She explained that Jade wasn't welcome there anymore and that they couldn't have sl*epovers anymore. Tori waited for several minutes before she just got a single response.
-K
And that was the last she heard from Jade until school on Monday. But that wasn't the most intense moment that happened inside the Vega house that weekend by a longshot.
* * *
Tori came down for lunch the next day, trying to avoid eye contact with both her mom, since her dad was out on patrol, and her s*ster. As she choked down the ham sandwich and some chips, Tori tried not to let any of them see how miserable she was, and she never said a word. She would have retreated back to her room until the next meal if there hadn't been a knock on the door.
Mrs. Vega headed over to the door, knowing that Gary, her husband's partner, was going to stop by to pick her up and see a movie, but was sorely disappointed when it was revealed Robbie was behind the door. Upon seeing her former beau, Trina took off up the stairs before he could see her. Mrs. Vega was just about to shut the door when she heard a car honk. She didn't say a word as she grabbed her purse and ran out the door, leaving Tori sitting at the dinner table by herself while Robbie awkwardly stood in the den.
"So... you doing ok?"
"I'm fine, Robbie... why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know... we haven't really talked much since you and Beck split up... and I guess I was in the neighborhood and just wanted to check on you," he said, sitting down on the couch as she walked over and sat across from him.
"I'm fine... really. You, and everyone else, have been really supportive, but I'm fine now."
"You'll forgive me Tori, but you don't look fine. You look absolutely awful and you've clearly been crying. Just tell me what's up."
"Robbie, you're a good guy... I promise that I'm past this whole Beck thing."
"What about Nate? That guy won't stop talking about you, especially after you guys had that date-"
"It wasn't a date."
"Tori, he bought you dinner and took you to a concert and you kissed him-"
"On the cheek."
"...but you kissed him nonetheless. That was a date. Just admit it."
Tori sighed heavily, sinking into the chair cushion, knowing that Robbie was right, but not wanting to admit that to him. He did become pretty big headed when he was proven right about stuff. "Fine. It was a date."
"See? Was that so hard?"
"Yeah... but I don't know if I like him like that. He's nice and he's sweet, but I think I just want to be single for a while."
"You have to get back on the horse at some point, and as much as I have crushed on you, I can say with all honesty that Nate's a good guy for you."
"Robbie, I'm sorry but don't push me into dating that guy. My life isn't some TV show where all the feelings get wrapped up and I start anew tomorrow. I wish it was, but I really think I need some actual time to breathe. Ok?"
"Ok... if you ever want to talk though-"
"I will let you know."
"Actually," Robbie said, shrugging, "I was going to tell you to talk to him."
"That's it, Robbie! Out!"
"Wait!"
Tori and Robbie looked over at the stairs where Trina had called out from, both unsure of how to respond or even if what she had to say was worth listening to.
"Tori, you're my s*ster and I'd like to talk to you later but I really want to talk to Robbie right now."
Tori looked over at Robbie as if to ask if this was ok with him, and he nodded, and Tori ran up the stairs leaving the two former lovers face to face.
"Look, Robbie-"
"No… you're going to listen to me first."
"I just-"
"I'm going to say my piece, and then when I get done, then I will hear you out. That's the only way that I will stand here and listen to you. Deal?"
Trina nodded slowly and stood by the end of the stairs.
"Ok, I'm going to start with the most recent knife you shoved into my back. You fucked my best friend. Or at least he used to be. I know we aren't dating and haven't been... maybe ever, but that seriously upset me. I was crazy about you, Trina. I was willing to hide in places and sneak around to see you, and not a lot of guys would have the patience to deal with that kind of thing, but you know what? I sucked it up because I really liked you and I believed in you and I believed that you would change and we could be happy. But I was wrong, wasn't I? I was sooooo wrong about you. You were just a shallow cunt that threw me under the bus and then ran me over with it." He stopped for a moment, seeing her face flare up, knowing tears were about to come, wondering if he should have dropped that c-bomb. "You told everyone I essentially ****d you. Even for you that was low, and while everyone knows the truth now, there is still that air of 'maybe he really is' that I get in every look from everyone at school. And that's on you."
"But I have paid for that-"
"No. you haven't... and wait. I'm not done yet. The worst part of all of this is that I actually pity you now. Everyone at school already knew you were completely untalented, but in the last month you have shown everyone that you are a liar, a whore, and just complete and utter shit. Ok… that's my two cents. Now spill whatever you have to say so I can leave."
Trina was fighting back her tears, desperately trying to keep it together after this total verbal assault. Taking a deep breath, she responded as best she could.
"I'm sorry."
"That's it? All you have is-"
"Look, I'm sorry. There's no excuse for what I did and nobody hates me more than I hate myself right now. I freaked out that day we were caught and reverted back to being that awful selfish person that I was before we got together. I'm sorry about the Beck thing. It happened and I have never felt more disgusted with myself that I let it happen. I thought of you the whole time."
"Oh yeah... that makes me feel so much better, Trina."
"What do you want me to say, Robbie? I fucked up. Royally. I hate the way things are right now and I missed you. Especially as my boyfriend, but I really just miss my friend more than anything else. I was scared and alone and everyone hated me, and I drank a bit and he called me pretty, and I was so low that I just let it happen. It was my biggest low point in my life."
"Well, be that as it may, our relationship, or whatever it was, because it sure wasn't a real relationship is over and there's no going back to that. But I guess with time, maybe we could be friends again. I don't know."
"We could at least share the same space without you wanting to strangle me," Trina said, the first tears falling from her eyes as she moved towards Robbie.
He took a step back as he spoke, "I don't want to strangle you, Trina. At least, not anymore. I'm just disappointed and hurt. You are a very good looking girl and I'm just a weird nerd. I thought I had hit the jackpot with you and when everything came crashing down, I was left alone and I felt like I wanted to die. I mean, for a while, I actually blamed myself for what happened. But anyway... look, I don't hate you and I still care a lot, but we aren't going to be friends for a while, so I will just talk to you when that time comes." Inside, Robbie was struggling. He wanted to tell her he still cared for her and he wanted to get back with her, especially since Cat fell through, but he remained strong and resisted the lonely urges.
"Ok... I will talk to you then, Robbie." Trina went in for a hug, but he turned and walked out the door, leaving her alone with her tears, which poured out once she knew he was out of sight. She turned and went back up the stairs, her mind racing with what to say to her s*ster.
As she rounded the hall to the bedrooms, she heard Tori over her shoulder.
"I forgive you."
"What?"
"Yeah..." Tori leaned her head against her bedroom doorframe. "I heard what you were saying down there. I'm not happy and I certainly don't like that it happened, but I understand what you did. I did the same thing with Jade when Beck and I had a fight, so I get it. I don't really want to talk anymore, but you're my s*ster and we should be able to move on."
"Tori, thank you so-"
"I'm probably going to hold this over you for a long time, but I think the way you handled yourself when Robbie was going off, which he had every right to, was really adult and you could have ran away and hid like you have the last several days, but you took it and I don't want to pile on you with everything. I hardly have the right to cast the first stone in this situation, so we're cool."
Trina rushed and hugged her s*ster tight before Tori walked back her room, shutting the bedroom door behind her.
* * *
It took three days for Tori and Trina to actually have a conversation again, and when the subject matter in the car turned to boys, Trina seemed guarded, but certainly her normal self.
"So you're telling me that the guy you've been dangling for weeks is the son of the Jeremiah Shepherd? The movie producer?"
"Yeah... why?" Tori said.
"Because he's Jeremiah Shepherd... and he is probably looking for talent for his next movie, which I know I would be perfect for."
"Trina…"
"I'm serious. If you don't want to date that guy, just give him to me. I would certainly take advantage over some hot rich guy fawning all over me if you won't." Inside, Trina was a bit worried her words were going to loop around to the Beck thing, but luckily, Tori didn't seem to notice.
"And I'm sure Nate would appreciate having someone who is just there for those reasons."
"Well, why aren't you dating him then?"
"I don't know… I just think I need to be single for a while."
"I don't understand how we could be siblings…"
Tori just shook her head at her s*ster as they drove to school. Trina had a point. Nate was an all-around good guy, but she just was dragging her feet on giving him a chance for some reason. The thought crossed her mind several times during the first few classes, and she was confronted right before lunch.
"Hey, Tori."
"Nate… heyyyy… how's it going?"
"Eh, I can't really complain. How about you?"
"I'm... surviving, I guess."
"Well, that's as good as anything, I s'pose. Look, I know something has been going on, and I know we haven't exactly crossed that friend line where we tell each other stuff, but I just wanted to say that I was here if you wanted to talk."
"Well, I appreciate that, Nate."
"I'm especially here if you're free Friday night. Maybe have dinner together and hang out or whatever."
"I can’t Nate... I'm sorry." She saw his head droop and Tori started to respond but her phone started butting. "Sorry…"
"It's fine. I figured it was worth a shot," he said before starting to walk away.
A quick look down alerted Tori that it was Beck calling her. She took only a second before looking back up at Nate, and then hitting the ignore button.
"I can't Friday... but how about… Saturday?" she said, earning a smile from Nate, which caused her to smile back. I deserve to be happy, she thought, as she threw her books in her locker and headed out to meet all her friends.
