My stomach was in my butt as I stood backstage waiting to go on, I honestly felt like I was going to be sick. Somewhere in that crowd Jade was sitting with Cat waiting to hear me sing. Later tonight she'd probably be so mad she wouldn't want to talk to me, but I had to this. If not telling people that Jade and I were dating, at least that they know I was dating someone. And Jade would know. And eventually she'd stop being mad.
"Tori, you're on in five." I let out a shaky breath and check my outfit in the mirror. A pair of dark jean shorts, black converse, my green tank top. I tugged the tank top down a bit and smooth it out over my stomach, pulling my black sports bra up a little bit.
When I'm told it's time to go on I take a deep breath and walk out, sending a nervous smile to Andre and the band before peering out over the crowd as the piano starts. My stomach drops even lower and I have to look away from Jade as soon as I look at her, "people say we shouldn't be together, we're too young to know about forever, but I say they don't know what they're talk-talk-talkin' about."
When I look at Jade she clearly doesn't recognize the song, "Cause this love is only getting stronger, so I don't wanna wait any longer, I just wanna tell the world that you're mine girl." Her eyes widen only slightly and rage swims in them, I look around the rest of the ground, walking around the stage as I sing, trying not to completely freak out.
"Just one touch and I was a believer, every kiss it gets a little sweeter, it's getting better, keeps getting better all the time girl. They don't know about the things we do they don't know about the 'I love yous', but I bet you if they only knew they would be jealous of us." Beck caught my eye while I was scanning over the crowd, but I looked away before anything could make me stumble over my words. By the end of my song Jade has disappeared, I try to convince myself I just forgot where she was sitting but by the end fo the song I want to cry.
"They don' know about the up all nights, they don't know I've waited all my life, just to find a love that feels this right, baby they don't know about, they don't know about us, they don't know about us, they don't know about us." Everyone screams with cheers and I let out a huge sigh, smiling until everyone goes silent.
I turn to follow their stares and Jade is walking toward me, "you idiot." She mutters, stepping up in front of me, "I love you." She cups my cheek with her hand and kisses me hard. Everyone around us erupts in cheers but they become white noise, my thoughts focused on Jade who is pushing me back stage, still kissing me.
She broke away from me once we were backstage, "no way you're coming out without me, bitch." She laughs kissing me quick, "I might not like One Direction that much, but that was amazing."
"I love you, Jade."
"I love you, Tori."
"Three months of dating behind our backs and you bitches finally come out. Took long enough." Andre said, swinging his arms over our shoulders and steering us toward everyone else.
