Hey you guys. I'm really sorry for the lack of update. I've been a little busy, but I am back with a long chapter. YAY?

Thank you for the reviews, faves and follows. They mean a lot me.

DISCLAIMER:

I don't own Victorious or Spider man.

I open my eyes with the words "Only in darkness can you see the stars" painted on the white ceiling of Jade's room. Panic bubbles up in my chest when I notice her absence beside me. I sit up and what I see almost make's me jump out of my pajamas.

"Oh my God" are the words that I spill as I take in Jade's half nude self bent down in front of the medium sized mirror in the bed room. Putting eye make up…presumably. My shriek startles her and the mascara she was holding slips out of her fingers. I catch it without using my hands or turning my gaze from her.

All of this happened in a matter of seconds…

"Fuck Tori. You scared the shit out of me" I move my eyes from hers to the hand she places on her chest "Will you stop staring. You perv!" she growls, a hint of pink apparent on her cheeks. Jade stomps towards the bed till she stands just a few inches away from my face. I shift uneasily. I guess the vulnerable Jade I got to see yesterday only comes once in a while. Well, not that I mind this one either.

"I wasn't staring" I defend myself. Okay I was, but can you blame me. She has a beautiful body.

"You totally were, don't lie Vega" she crosses her arms, like standing without a shirt in front of me is completely normal.

"I'm not lying"

"Yes you are" she says "You're not that good when it comes to lying…or acting"

"Umm excuse me? What happened to the fact that I managed to keep my powers a secret from everyone?"

She laughs at this "Well not from me"

"That's because you're special." I pull her hand to make her sit beside me, she sits on me instead. That was a bold move from her side. "That and the fact that you would have died if I hadn't done anything"

"Oh please I would've taken care of them…" she catches me staring again, only this time she doesn't get angry. Just lowers her face to catch my lips with hers in a sweet kiss which unfortunately lasts for about 2 seconds before she pulls away and drops her head on my shoulder "You were staring again."

"Okay so what if I was…it's only fair since you've seen me naked too." I gurgle out nervously.

Jade shakes her head "That's true actually. And…" she pokes my stomach "what up with the abs? It's hot but creepy at the same time…" I'm gonna take that as a compliment. "I mean you're only sixteen."

"First of all I'm seventeen" I say rolling my eyes "And the answer to you're question…it comes with the 'spider girl' package."

She laughs, a deep laugh, like it came from deep inside of her and kisses the side of my mouth "I tend to like this package"

She places her hand on the pillow beside her, her finger's lining up with mine. I look down at our hands. It takes me a few seconds to get what I want to say together in my head. And when I do, it comes out rather swiftly than I anticipated. "I know our situation is not the perfect one. With me being a spider human and your mother and Oscorp. And I know that things are gonna get dirty. But I want you by my side, not just as a friend but something more…"

"Well you already made that pretty clear Vega that you want us to be something more than friends." I can tell she's grinning alongside my neck.

"So would you like if we were to date?"

She gently takes my hands and guides my palm to her stomach "Hmm let me think" she says, her lips brushing my neck, making me feel all tingly. She slowly pushes my hands up over her flat abdomen and over to her chest and holds them against her neck. My palms tingle with the feel of her skin, smooth and warm. My face is hot, but I shiver anyway. She looks at me.

"Yes" she says "Yes I would"

I smile a little and wrap my arms around her, pressing the side of my face to her chest. Her heart beat is as fast as mine. Jade being partially naked doesn't seem to bother me anymore…you know, because we're dating now.

Oh my God I'm dating Jade West It hits me and getting a little carried away I tighten my arms around her.

"Tori…you're...crushing…me. Idiot"

I loosen my hold, but the enthusiasm still remains as much as it was before. "Sorry got a little too excited, that's all" I apologize, she grunts. But not an angry grunt which she usually let out whenever we hugged before.

"Who would've thought, Jade West the ice queen would go out with I Tori Vega" I say, rather proudly.

"Not me" she murmurs.

I move my head and kiss the hollow of her neck "And yet here we are"

"Shut up Vega"

"Make me."

We kiss again and it's the first time I realize, I could get used to this, to us. But I don't know if I should, considering the crazy things happening around me.

I watch Jade's face carefully the whole ride to my house, to see any kind of weird change in her mood. We spent at least three hours talking and kissing and eventually dozing off. Until we heard her mother leave the house and it was safe for me to leave her room without being harmed.

Right now, if anything she looks way happy then she did yesterday. She's even smiling, a little. She hasn't said like a single word about Oscorp or her mother after yesterday. But I don't know if that's a good thing or not, I knew Jade isn't known for being expressive when it comes to letting her emotions out. And that's okay but…I want her to be able to trust me with anything. And most of this concerns me as well.

I wanted to ask her out on a date, if it hadn't turned into an argument.

Jade stops the car, turns off the ignition and faces towards me. I smile at her "You really didn't have to drop me at my house; I could've just you know-"

"What? Flied back to you're house, without you're costume." Says Jade "And then let the whole world including Oscorp know that Tori Vega is spider girl?"

I wince at her tone. I know she's only saying this because she cares and snapping back at her won't do anything good so I still try to preserve my smile. "Okay" I say "Anyways wanna come inside?"

"I can't. I have to meet Beck?"

"Why the fuck do you need to meet him?"

"I need to clear some things with him and talk about the consequences of screwing our teacher." she replies.

"Okay then I'm coming with you."

"I think its better that I talk to him alone." she says "I don't want you getting into a fight with him again. So please let me do this alone, I'll tell you everything when I get back. You know over dinner or a date or something…what do u say?" she motions her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear but I push it away.

"Whatever Jade it's not like you're giving me a choice. See you around." I get out of the car and don't turn around until I'm inside my house, the door vibrates with the ferocity I closed it.

Ugh. I told myself that I won't snap back at her and yet I did. I'm usually not the jealous type but I just don't like the idea of Beck being around her. He's already hurt her enough I don't want it to happen again. Or else I'll fucking break him.

I pace around the living room, trying to cool myself…

"No Tori you can't fucking kill him." I inhale deeply "Beck's still you're friend." exhale "It doesn't matter what he did to Jade." inhale again "Or the fact that she's still going down their to talk to him." exhale "So what you need to do." inhale "is calm the fuck down." exhale "And trust Jade."

After a few good minutes when I've actually calmed down, I realize how awful I had been with her. She's already going through enough and getting angry isn't going to do any good to the either of us. If she needs to go talk to Beck I should be okay with it…she can handle herself. I should trust her.

I call her, expecting her either not to pick up and ignore me or completely lash out. She picks up…"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left the car like that…if you need to go talk to Beck you don't need my permission." I say.

But she didn't. "Who says I was asking for you're permission Vega? But yeah, I didn't go and it's okay."

"Why didn't you?"

"I don't know. I just didn't feel like going after you got so upset about it."

Guilt of being such an ass rushes through me. Part of me wants to say "Yeah Jade, you should go if you want to" but the jealous part says it's good if she isn't going. So I try to be completely neutral. I change the topic. "So if you're not busy…I want to take you somewhere"

"Where do you want to take me?"

"Well that's for me to know and you to find out"

"Okay Vega. You've got yourself a date. I'll be their at 6." She hangs the phone, without saying goodbye. Typical Jade.

I had a fair amount of time to come up with an idea of where I should take Jade for our first date. What I came up with sounds really cute and fluffy in my head. Let's just hope she feels the same way.

Late in the evening Jade texts me saying it might take her a little more time to come over than 6. That was a little of a bummer because I really wanted to see her again. But the plan for our date still remains so its okay.

Its 8:30 when Jade comes around, I hear her coming as soon as she steps outside the vehicle. I open the door for her before she even knocks. "Someone's not punctual." I say in an easy way. She doesn't answer, her gaze fixed on the floor. Something's not okay I can tell. "Hey. Are you okay?"

Her face looks fine. Pink lips, spotless pale skin and that hot eyebrow piercing I love. Like I said pretty as usual, but the eyes…they tell a different story. Their not puffy or swollen like she's cried her heart out. But they are red, like a tear or two might have come out of them just a while ago. She looks at me for a second, then suddenly wraps her arms around me, hands clutching the hoodie I'm wearing. For a moment we just stand at my doorway, my hand stroking her hair, while hers securely around my waist. She's not crying, but she doesn't speak either.

"I want to show you something." I speak.

"Can't we just stay like this for a while" says Jade, finally. "I like where we are."

"So do I but trust me you'll like where we're going" I pull out my spider mask and take her hand in mine. "But we won't be needing a car."

I have never been one to be afraid of heights all my life, I don't know if that's the reason how I got accustomed to swinging or as Jade implies "flying" around at great heights. But where I'm taking her is a little too high, even for me. So I was prepared she would get scared and grab me like her life depended on it. Well it did, but I'm not stupid enough not to think about her safety first. Over the time of my powers when I go out for crime fighting, I learnt a trick or two; wrapping my enemies with webs, shooting webs like a sling shot etc. But the best thing I've come to have control over is what I like to call a "sticky situation". You know, like having control over when to stick to something and when not too. So dropping Jade is the least of my problems.

Jade doesn't open her eyes until our feet have a ground beneath them. She looks around, without letting go of me. I chuckle at her wide eyed expression "The tallest sky scraper in L.A. I've never got a chance to check it out before, so I wanted to see it. And what better way than coming over here with you. My girlfriend" I say.

Jade lets go of me and runs off to the edge "Beautiful" I hear her whisper. I take off my mask and stand beside her to watch the stunning view of what is L.A. The lights of the buildings surrounding us shimmer. We're so high that a thin blanket of mist covers the stretch. It is indeed a very mesmerizing sight. "Is this allowed? Standing here?" Jade asks.

I snake my arm around her waist and place a kiss on her hair "I don't think so" I say "I actually wanted us to see the sunset too. But you came late so we just get to see what it looks like at night. But its okay…we can come again if you want."

"I would like that…Thank you." she smiles.

Jade doesn't look away from the sight when I go back to the center of the crown to make a spider web large enough to hold us both. Luckily she doesn't even turn around to see what I'm doing. "Close your eyes" I say when I'm done and she complies. I take her hand and lead her to where I made the web. I settle on it and make her do so as well.

We're both lying on the web facing the sky when I tell her to open her eyes again. If she liked the view of the city, I'm sure she would like this one as well. I was right, this one left her speechless.

"Only in the darkness can you see the stars…" I quote the words from Jade's ceiling. "We can't see the stars in L.A normally. This buildings high enough and away from the city lights so we can see them."

We talk about a lot of stuff; our likes and dislikes, favorite movies, what we want in the future, and other things as we watch the stars. Well actually Jade watches the stars and I watch her. Waiting for the perfect moment to kiss her, she finally faces me.

"I want to kiss you" I declare.

Jade shake's her head. Carefully lifting her self up and settling down on top of me. She takes off her jacket and I raise my eyebrows "What are you doing?" I ask. I have learned over the time what this usually leads too.

"Shut up. I'm not doing what you think I'm doing pervert."

"I'm no-" she shushes me and lowers her face so close that we're breathing the same cool air. Placing the jacket on top of our heads as our lips finally meet for the first time during the date. The kiss is slow at first, but it get's heated as I move my hand into her shirt, drawing circles on her back. She moans and I take it as a chance to enter my tongue into her mouth which she accepts. One of the greatest moments of my life and I can't help but let out a little chortle of happiness.

"What are you smiling at?" She asks between pants when we break for air.

"Nothing, just enjoying the greatest moment of my life…"

"You're so cheesy Vega" she says. I didn't know why she took the jacket off before. Now I do and I want to do it again because it was so romantic. But she puts it back on because of the cold.

We intertwine our fingers and she goes quiet after that.

"Jade. You know you can tell me anything you want right?" she nods "So can you please tell me what happened after we talked on the phone?"

She nuzzles closer to me and takes a deep breath. "Me and my mother got into a fight."

Events of last night rush in my mind as I recall how hard she hits. I can't help but think of the worse "What kind of a fight? She didn't hit you did she?"

"No not at all. I wouldn't even call it a fight, a fight with her would have been better." She says weakly "She just said something, you know, like a normal mother says and then I talk back like a normal teenager would…but instead of retorting like a normal person, she does what I say. She does everything I say after that…like I'm compelling her or something." Tears start flowing out of her eyes "I don't know what's happening Tori. You think it would be nice to have a fucking robot instead of a mother. A robot that does everything that comes out of your mouth. But its not…and it's fucking killing me."

I don't know what do except hold her until she stops crying, I want to cry myself. I don't want her to feel more pain but I had to ask. "How can you control her?"

"I don't know" she sniffs. The cutest sniff I've heard.

"It's okay. Now relax…" she closes her eyes as I plant a soft kisses on her face "We're gonna set everything right okay. No matter what it takes."

"Okay but…" she yawns "As much as I want my mother back I don't want anything to happen to you in the process. Because I…" she trails of and it gets hard to catch up as her voice lowers and lowers until she falls asleep.

"I love you"

It's almost midnight when I pick Jade up to go back. I didn't want her to drive partially asleep so I dropped her at her own house. I would've carried her till her room but she said no and went inside on her own before giving me a clumsy good bye kiss. The girl was way too sleepy to do anything else.

I came back from our date with mixed emotions. I was happy that I finally got the girl of my dreams but sad because of the situation we are in. But these emotions were suddenly trounced by curiosity and my spider sense as I got closer and closer to my place.

"Trina is that you? What the fuck happened here?" I call out as I make my way inside and a find messed up living room. A noise sounded through the house, like something was being knocked over, a heavy object striking the floor with a thud. The thud was followed by unusual sounds of growling coming from my room. My stomach contracted in terror. This seems like a part of a scary movie. The ones Jade likes.

For a moment I think, the room is empty. I am too tired so it is possible that its all in my head. But then I look up…

It is crouched against the wall, a large scaly creature, with razor sharp teeth. Something like an abnormally large lizard, it has a spiky tail and it that's definitely not natural. Multiple legs bunched underneath it as it readied itself to spring at me.

This is certainly not what I was expecting.

Cliffhanger! Please don't kill me.
And again, sorry for the late update and also for any grammatical mistakes (I couldn't re-check). Thanks for reading...
