On The Run // Jori Story

Part 1

"Fuck Andre, come on man, have some game!" Beck pushed his friend's shoulder harshly, shoving a beer bottle in his hand. "You know you want those beautiful legs in your bed tonight." He smirked, pushing his hair out of his eyes.

Andre laughed lightly and took a chug of the warm beer Beck just gave him. "God." He coughed and shook his head from the taste. Beck raised his eyebrow silently calling him a pussy. "Ok, ok. I'm going." Andre groaned and tightened his bandana over his dreads before walking over to the woman they were talking about.

"Where's he going?" Beck turned around to find out who's voice he heard. It was hard to tell over the loud music playing in the background. Tori grinned seeing her shaggy haired friend and hugged him.

"Tori! Nice to see you sunshine!" Beck yelled, scooping her in his arms.

"Same to you!" Tori laughed as she gripped his flannel that had gotten sweaty from dancing.

"Alright, down boy." Beck looked behind Tori to see his old friend/ex-highschool lover- Jade West. He shook his head and laughed under his breath. "Oh, what? No hug?" The raven haired woman crossed her arms over her chest.

"I wasn't planning on it, but sure. I guess you could have a hug." Beck teased and walked over with his arms spread open.

"Yeah, no, I'll pass." Jade said in a thick tone, reaching out to stop him from coming any closer.

Beck stopped and rolled his eyes dramatically. "Where's your drinks? How was the drive? Come on, let's go chat!" He insisted and threw his arms over both the girls shoulders.

Tori laughed and leaned up to press a quick kiss on his cheek. "I missed you guys so much!"

A couple minutes later the 4 of them were out back of the bar they had met at. It had been years since they all met up together. With them growing up that means going to college, starting families, getting married, the usual bullshit.

"God, Andre, you have to tell me what's going on with you man." Jade said, leaning up against Beck's old Honda. "I have seen some wild photos posted on some pages." She laughed while sipping her drink.

Andre gritted his teeth embarrassed before forcing out a laugh. "Yeah, it's a lot. Let's just say traveling around with a bunch of Earth-heads can get you places. But man, I'll tell you I have some stories about some trips I've been on." He winked at her.

Jade looked at him for a minute before she realized the kind of trips he must have been talking about. It was quiet before they all laughed and Andre shrugged. "Please do." Jade ordered for him to carry on.

"Wait, before you do." Tori interrupted and looked at Jade. "Where's your lighter?" She asked, patting Jade's front pockets.

"I don't know, I told you to grab it off the counter before we left!"

"Here, take mine." Beck offered, tossing Tori his lighter.

"Fuck off Oliver." Jade growled, throwing her arm around Tori's tan shoulders.

Jade and her have had a thing going on for a few years now. When everyone left town after graduating they were the only ones who stayed. One night while hanging out Jade and Tori got pretty crossfaded and found themselves on top of each other at the end of the night. The next day nothing was said. They never talked about it, but they shortly after ended up doing it again. When someone ask about the two, Jade always replies with, "Is it your fucking business? No!" And walks away. Tori just goes along with it. Although they do not claim to be together, Jade gets protective. The gang knows better than to speak on it.
