Promise Me No Promises | Cade

Til Dawn

"Jade..." Cat yelled from the kitchen. "Can you get that?"

Jade rolled her eyes and went to open the front door. She almost fainted when she saw Tori standing there. "No." Jade closed the door again and left Tori's smiling face at the other side. Cat heard what happened from the next room and went to open the door for Tori again. They both hugged and talked with those high tones on their voices that Jade found so ridiculous and stupid; they were so pumped about some new makeup line a celebrity they liked was publishing next week.

"Stop!" Jade found herself screaming. The both girls turned around to watch her, speechless now. "Grumpy!" Tori muttered. Jade rolled her eyes and walked upstairs to Cat's room, not caring to check if the two others were following her or not. Few minutes later, they both entered the room with a huge bol of popcorn and Jade had already pressed play and was enjoying the movie to try to distract herself from dealing with Tori and Cat; hoping they would disappear if she only focused on the tv screen.

Soon Tori got bored and paused the movie. "Let's play some game!" So much excitement on her tone for Jade to not to groan by the first word she spoke.

"All you can think of is playing some stupid games?!"  Jade snapped and didn't need to turn to check their reaction cause she knew they were probably rolling her eyes at her.

"It can be fun!" Jade gave Tori a dead glare for that. "Come on, Jadey.." Cat insisted. "Do. Not. Call. Me. Jadey." Jade crossed her arms around her chest and sat away from them.

"Let's play truth or dare.. I start!!!" Tori jumped out of excitement. "You two are stupid." Jade muttered and looked away to let them know she wasn't gonna play any of her childish games. They didn't add anything and just started the game. "Alright... Cat: truth or dare?" Tori smiled mischievously and Cat frowned uncomfortably. "Dare! WAIT!.... TRUTH!.. Mhm... UGH!" Jade's eyes opened widely at how ridiculously freaked out Cat would get when she was just being asked a simple question as truth or dare. Immature much. She couldn't help but sighed at loud and it apparently hurt Cat more than usual as she looked down probably knowing what Jade must had thought of her and feeling ashamed of her own self. Tori gave Jade a disgusting look and Jade only shook her head as response. They were dying wish if they were waiting for any other gesture coming from Jade. She wouldn't apologize for something she thought she had done right, even if she hurt somebody on the process.

"It's okay." Tori turned Cat's way. "Cat, you've picked Truth so... mhm.. what is the wildest thing you've ever done?" Tori thought she was so cool and Jade hated that almost the entire time. She was even more tiring to deal with than Cat. And that said a lot to Jade.

Cat looked around the room while thinking and her eyes lighted up when she got the answer. "Few years ago I was at a market with my brother and we didn't have money to pay for any of the stuff we got so on our way out I punched a woman on the face and ran away with everything still on my hands. I didn't like any of the things we stole but I did it cause I figured it would be fun." Cat stayed still, as chilled as anybody could be but Tori and Jade freaked to themselves silently.

"You stole?!" Jade got up and sat next to Cat excited as hell. "Yep." Cat smiled to Jade. Jade turned to Tori smiling so much. "Only you could be proud of that..." Tori shook her head. Cat giggled once again and asked Tori truth or dare. Tori picked truth and after few more rounds of Tori and Cat playing together and Jade only commenting and reaction to their answers, Tori decided it would be fun to include Jade and that way find out more stuff about her as she always prefers to keep her life to herself and the brunette girl thought that needed to change.

"So Jade... Truth or dare?" There went the mischievous smile again. "I'm not playing." Jade crossed her arms again and looked away. "Oh come on!!" The other two girls insisted smiling as mischievously again. Jade sighed in disgust but she didn't see any other option than playing the stupid game. Ugh. "Truth." Tori and Cat sat together and whispered some suggestions to ask the gothic girl and to make sure she didn't hear a thing. Jade groaned at how excited they were all the time and for every single little thing. Exhausting.

"How are things between you and Beck going?" Tori said with a grin on her face and that high tone that drove Jade crazy in the worst way possible but as soon as she heard his name, she couldn't help but smiled, and she realized how in love she must've looked cause as soon as possible, she looked down to hide her blushing. 

"Woooooah!!!!" The both girls shouted happily and excited. "Stop-" Jade tried to act serious but failed and laughed. They all did and Tori insisted on the question again. "We are great." Jade smiled and the other girls thought they had never seen the grumpy girl smiling like that at all ever before. "Elaborate a bit more, Jade!" Tori insisted; she really wanted to know about Jade and Beck's relationship as she's always had a crush on Beck and wished for her to be the one dating him. She wanted to know as much information as possible, especially the bad part, to know what didn't go right between the couple and try to take advantage of it any way she could. She only had to pretend she was happy for Jade when asking her about it, not a big deal. 

"Well... this morning he left me a cute poem he wrote for me on my locker." Jade's smile grew even more, Tori pretended to be as excited as she's ever been in her life for her and meanwhile, Cat's face fell. "You two are so damn cute, he's crazy in love with you!" Tori faked a smile and Jade smiled back at her. "May we see it?" Cat suggested trying to hide her anxiety and how her whole body trembled slowly. Jade agreed. She wouldn't normally agree to share her private life, especially her romantic relationship, with anyone but she was dying to tell someone about it and she wanted to read it again, just one more time. She pulled the note out of her bag and read it at loud before passing it to the other two teenagers. Tori pretended to be dying out of cuteness and Cat's hands started to sweat already. "Adorable!" Jade agreed with Tori by nodding. 

"Jade.. mhmm... could you go to the kitchen and grab my phone and give it back to me? I forgot it downstairs. Dumb me!" Cat suddenly said and she left both Tori and Jade speechless, and not only by the fact of how sudden it was but of how much the little red haired's voice shook. Jade raised an eyebrow but did what Cat said, after keeping the note inside her bag again. Once she was gone, Tori and Cat were finally left alone. "What is wrong with you?" Tori asked curiously. "The note!" Cat was freaking out so much it costed her to speak and less to explain something calmly. "What about it?!" Tori frowned confused. "It wasn't Beck the one that wrote that, it was me!" Tori opened up her mouth but couldn't say a single thing; she was silently freaking out in so many levels. And Cat, once that she had finally admitted it out loud, felt a relief and could breathe normally again. Tori only stared at her as so many different questions were forming in her head but only one came out. "What?!"
