AN: This is my first time writing a Jori fanfic or even a Victorious fanfic, so I apologize if the characters are a little OOC. Also, I'm already writing the next chapter, and that should be up soon. We'll see how this goes. Anyways, enjoy!

It had been eating Jade up for quite a long time. These feelings she had for Tori Vega. At first she assumed it was jealousy. Vega was very talented, and as much as it killed her to admit it, it was completely true. It didn't hurt to add that the first time they met face to face was when she caught Vega rubbing her boyfriend. But what she had come to realize over the past few weeks was that it wasn't jealousy that Tori could steal Beck from her. Even though there were endless reasons for this to be the case. Namely, she was just as talented as Jade, and a whole lot nicer to be around. No, it was really that she was jealous that Vega was rubbing Beck… and not Jade.

So after this epiphany that she had – after she had finally broken up with Beck for good – she proceeded to go through the stage of denial, then anger, then some more denial, until she finally ended up here; acceptance. So she accepted the fact that she may have blurred the line of hate and love a bit and was really just trying to mask her feelings the whole time, and it had been eating her up for about a week. She liked Vega. A lot. She needed to do something about it, or else it would kill her and as much as she loved horror movies and scissors and especially The Scissoring, she would rather the same not happen to her… or at least not that kind of scissoring.

Jade had decided that despite her blunt nature, the fact that she had no idea what Vega was feeling in all of this required a certain delicacy in the handling of this situation. So the goal was to get Vega to notice her, but not to be too obvious that Jade really liked Vega. She guessed she had better start with calling her by her first name. Then again she was Jade West, and she made her own rules.
