Sick Lullabies and Save Your Tears (Chapter 9)


Tory's POV:

They have passed like 3 hours since our little discussion, I don't understand Jade, she saves my life one day and the other she is screaming at me, I thanked her, but looks like now they have created fake rumors, this is horrible, and mostly for Jade, they say she is a horrible person, who she kinda is, but they don't know her.

Okay, I may have not said that she is a horrible person, she is just complicated. VERY complicated, but I'm not asking her, because that would make me look interested, and I'm not.

Jade stormed again into the room, throwing a box at the table.

"Eat if you want, I couldn't care less," she said, and she was out of the room again.

"Jade, can we talk?" I yelled at her.

"Sure, what you wanna lie to me about?" I heard her scream.

"You know what? You are just a child doing a tantrum!" I yelled at her.

"Hear me out, Nichols" she entered the room, she had a menacing look on her face, her eyes were darker, she was pointing at me, "If it's a tantrum wanting to know if it was worth it that I was just fired, yes I am doing a tantrum"

"You were fired?" I asked her.

"Yes, looks like the fact that my face is turned into shit is a cause for dismissal" she sighed, trying to calm down I think.

"Jade, I'm sorry," I admitted, "it's my fault you got fired".

"It kinda is, but don't worry about it, eat, or it's gonna get cold" she told me with a much calmer and normal voice, and she started to walk away.

"Jade" I called her.

"Yeah?" her eyes were it's normal olive green color.

"Are you mad because they are making a fake relationship between us?" I asked, with the calmer voice I could do.

"No, Tory" she sighed and sit down next to me, taking my hand "I'm not mad about that, I couldn't care less, you would be a great girlfriend for anybody" she left a slight kiss on my hand before caressing it.

I stared at her eyes, they weren't shiny like they were yesterday, they were tired, I suppose hearing me babbling about her and complaining wasn't the best lullaby.

"Is that, I have a bad experience with secrets, and I just hate them, sorry for losing my mind" she said scratching the back of her head, something that indicated she was nervous.

"What happened?" She looked sad now.

"I got cheated on, 3 times" she said almost whispering, "my ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend" a tear ran through her cheek.

"You don't have to tell me" I wiped out the tear.

"I don't, but I want to" she answered, "he cheated in front of everybody, I was humiliated" another tear falling, "I decided to try out with my roommate, but guess what?" she scoffed "she cheated! And guess with whom? My ex-boyfriend!" her voice trembling, "I decided to forgive her, she told me it was the worst hangover, and it was a mistake, I really loved her, so, I made our relationship official, one month later, she spread the fake rumor that I hit her, truth is, she was cheating again" her voice broke at the end.

Okay, that is sad as hell, I don't even know why she still believes in love. If I was cheated on and used like that, I would stop believing.

"After that, I had just short relationships, but every time I felt nothing, there was no chemistry" she said sighing.

"Yeah, I know, how is it to be cheated on," I answered.

"I hate this" she said in a broken voice, "I hate people seeing me like this" her voice was trembling, "so vulnerable, so broken, so human..." the tears now were running like a river, I don't know what to do.

"It's okay, Jade. We are all human, after all,"

"You don't get it Tory, you can't be human in the industry, because humans have feelings, and you can't let them take control over your body"

"But you can't kill your feelings, Jade" 

"But you can hide them"

"You can't do it forever, sooner or later they are gonna see the light," I told her, taking her by the chin.

"It's true, they will sprout"

"Maybe, you should let them all out, they have been imprisoned a long time" 

"Well, more or less 3 days" she gave me a sad smile.

"What do you mean?"

"They have been imprisoned 3 days, since I met you, or maybe 2 months since I saw the school fight and the brunette with golden locks" she caressed my cheek and pulled me closer to her.

"Jade, I-" I was interrupted by her.

"When I told you, that you would be an excellent girlfriend" she made a pause and looked at me directly in the eyes, hers were filled with love and passion, "it's because I wish you were mine" and with that she closed the gap between us.

I felt surprised, but I kissed her back, her lips felt so soft, I could taste coffee on her lips, but also I could feel her broken lip, she never stopped caressing my cheek, it was a full-loved kiss. And I wish it would last forever. 

She pulled apart, looking at me, a big smile on her face. 

"You just asked me to be your girlfriend?" I asked with a grin.

"Maybe, what do you say, mi amor?" she dropped that nickname in Spanish and my heart stopped and died of cuteness.

"This answer your question?" I said, kissing her, but with more passion and lust than before, what can I say? I liked her, since I saw her in that magazine cover at the supermarket, I can't believe I didn't recognize her when we fought. I remember seeing her and wondering if her lips were as soft as they looked in the picture, and now I confirm that they are softer than I thought.

She pulled back, chuckling.

"Guess I will have to stay to take care of my girlfriend," she said, looking at me.

Wait, I just complete the deal? Oh my god, and I didn't have to use the blackmail thing or ask for her to do it, it's like she is reading my mind and saying all the words I want to hear, she opened to me, I think I should do it.

"Hello? Earth calling Nichols?" she asked, passing a hand in front of me.

"What?" I asked with the dumbest voice ever.

"You are cute when you zone out, babe," she chuckled, and gave me a peck, god, I will never get tired of those perfect lips of her.

"I'm not cute! Don't call me cute!" I said, crossing my arms,and making a pout. Okay, that might have seen childish.

"But you are, baby girl" she chuckled and kissed my cheek, "eat your breakfast, I don't want you to faint, and falling in that pretty face" she gave me a peck before standing up, "I need to make a call, if you need something just call out my name" she left the room, now I feel lonely. 

Hold up, now I have a girlfriend, and she is a celebrity, and she is hot as fuck. Man, I'm lucky. I turn on the TV and decided to watch a little of the news, and if the world knew, there is the face of Jade, saying something about how she was back into the karate world, and that there would be a great appearance in any tournament, they really love to have gossip about everything and everyone, god.

I laid my head on the pillow, it had the scent of Jade, it was an intoxicating aroma, the perfect mix between coffee and wood, I closed my eyes and let myself be carried away by the smell, it brought me peace in a certain way, but it also aroused me greatly .

I opened my eyes and noticed that I had fallen asleep, I was hugging the pillow ... Damn it.

I heard that someone was writing down something, the traces were heard, I left the room, Jade had some AirPods, listening to something on her computer and writing something down in a notebook.

"What are you doing, Jade?" I asked, she looked at me and took off an AirPod.

"I am analyzing the fight at school," she replied.

"Oh, I understand," I replied.

"Did you enjoy your nap?" she asked me, I blushed and laughed nervously.

"You have a comfortable bed" I replied, she smiled at me, what a perfect smile she had.

"You have to improve your defense, Tor" she said pointing to the screen.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked indignantly, I walked over and laid my head on her shoulder.

"It was clear that she was going to do a round kick, it was very predictable, and you didn't block it" she told me, pointing to Sam LaRusso, "there is no more recording, then what happened?"

"Nothing interesting, I lost because I'm an asshole" she chuckled, "I wonder what would have happened if you were there"

"The only thing I know, is that if I had been around, you wouldn't have lost that fight, honey" she said, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

I laughed, because I knew it was true, Jade was a very good fighter.

"What is this?" I said pointing to her notebook, it had funny names, she clearly didn't know the names.

"Pros and cons of all these" she told me, "I needed you to separate them into their sides and stuff"

"Well, let's see" I analyzed the names, "Asian boy with glasses, skinny nerd without glasses, chubby one in a blue shirt, brunette girl who I just beat up, they are from Miyagi-Do" I laughed at the names that she put them.

"What about the blonde boy with glasses? He sounds like Miyagi-Do loser stuff" I chuckled.

"Nah, him along with, chubby redheaded, the guy who fell two-story who I guess is Tor's ex and the idiot with spiky painted hair, they're from Eagle Fang."

"Oh, it's still the same shit right?" she wondered.

"The Eagle Fang are not as soft as the Miyagi-Do, because they used to be Cobras" I replied.

"Sure, it makes sense," he murmured, as he wrote them down.

"That means, my wonderful sexy girlfriend, the boy who badly needs a haircut, girl who took a good hit but didn't participate anymore and tall boy with Cobra Kai hoodie and short boy with another Cobra Kai jacket, would be the current members of Cobra Kai, although I would not know if the girl also, I don't think"

"Yes, there was a big change..." she said, checking the notebook.

"Aha," my stomach rumbled.

"In the room there is a menu, ask for what you want, they will bring it to you" she told me, with a smile.

"Thank you Jade" I said, while giving her a kiss on the cheek, "do you want something?"

"Now, I have everything I want" she told me, smiling at me and with eyes that shone with love.

Author's Note:
