Second Chance, Second Choice

Chapter 5 – Sisters.

No One's POV.

For at least a full minute after Jade quickly left, Tori just stood there, trying to process it all.

She had done it. She had called off their first date and that was it. They go their separate ways and everyone is better.

There was that voice, in fact voices in her head that told her this was a mistake. But Tori had silenced them and banished all regrets deep into her mind.

So having rid herself of Jade and suppressed doubts relating to it, Tori felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Happily, she pumped her fists in the air. "I did it. I'm free."

A moment later she suddenly remembered that Trina didn't like waiting and unless she hurried to the parking lot, she'd be free, to walk home.

Like a prisoner set free from confinement, Tori dashed out of Hollywood arts. The sun was shining, she felt great and as far as she was concerned, the world was her oyster.

Though as she headed out meet Trina's car, she found herself looking to see if she could see Jade.

Jade was nowhere to be seen.

Quickly disregarding Jade, Tori hurried up to Trina's car where she found the elder Vega waiting.

"You look rather upbeat, what's going on." Noted Trina.

"We'll uh.....it's not easy to explain."

"Try me."

"I broke my date with Jade."

"You what?"

"It's no big deal. I gave it some thought and simply concluded it was all wrong between us. So, to not waste any of her time or mine, to stop things in their tracks. No one gets hurt and each of us goes happily on their way. Better now than later on when we've found we've wasted our time together." Reasoned Tori.

Trina scrunched her face for a moment in puzzlement, but none the less, looked somewhat amused. "I don't get it, you go on for weeks telling me how much you like her, trying to get the courage up to ask the pale demon out, then you do and you're really excited. Until today, when you suddenly become a whole lot more sensible."

"What's wrong with being sensible?"

"Nothing, but I just don't get it, you're not really sensible."

"You should talk!" Tori shot back, enjoying being able to bicker with her sister again.

Trina grunted and motioned to the car. "Come on get in."

They got in the car and as soon as they were out of the parking lot, Trina asked. "Don't get me wrong, think you're making the right decision, but aren't you afraid of what she'll do to you?"

"Not as much as 23 years of marriage." Answered Tori, without thinking.

"What?"

"Oh...just speculation, you know some people get together, get married and years down the line they find they were never right for each other."

Trina let out a laugh. "And you think Jade would ever want to marry you?"

"She would have! We would have gotten married on a beach in Jamaica. I in a white dress and Jade in black with a black parasol to keep the sun off her. "
