Project Camp with Sikowitz

Meeting the parents

Tori's POV

We finally made it home and took Robbie to the hospital before we took him home. He was given a shot and some ointment to help with the itchiness. We took him home so that his mom could take care of him. Then Sikowitz dropped us off at the school so we could meet up with our family and go home. I really want to ask Jade to come over and have dinner with me and my family but I also don't want to push her into it.

We all say our goodbyes to each other as we go head to our parents. Of course Cat being Cat had to give everyone hugs. She is definitely one of my favorite people with Jade being at the top. I just can't stop smiling even though it's only been a week I feel as though my life has definitely changed for the better. I glance over at Jade one more time as my dad pulls out of the parking lot. Mom stayed home because she was baking my favorite chocolate chip cookies.

My dad noticed that I seemed to be in a good mood even though I was dreading the trip before it even began. Thankfully he didn't ask I figured I could tell them both the good news at the same time. Although Trina won't be so enthusiastic since she can't stand Jade. I know she wants me to be happy but I think she would rather it be anyone else other than Jade. My heart wants Jade nobody else she is my happiness my soulmate. I know we are still young but I can't see my life without her. Once the car is parked my dad helps me bring everything in.

"Hi mom I missed you." I said

"Hi sweetie. So how was the trip?" She asked, after kissing my forehead.

"Well it turned out amazing truthfully. So much happened in such a short time it feels like it was all just a dream." I told her.

"Is Trina home?" I ask

"No she stayed at a friend's last night won't be back until tomorrow." She tells me

"Well I guess I can tell you and dad first." I said, with a big smile.

"So you both know how Jade and myself really didn't get along at all. We patched things up." I said, not finished yet.

"Come to find out it was because Jade had feelings for me but was scared to tell me and admit the truth to herself. Over the years she has built walls around her heart because her her dad leaving."

"He called her a disappointment and didn't love her. So she started to close off. I have had very strong feelings for her since the day I saw her but she couldn't stand me." I said

"So sweetie does that mean you are dating now?" My dad asked

"Yes it does and we couldn't be happier. I know you both have already met her but I want you to meet the real Jade not the closed off version." I said

"Well ask her over for dinner either tonight or tomorrow night so we can sit down and talk." My mom says

"Okay let me text her and see when she can come." I said

Wow that was easier then I thought of course the support me but I know they just hated seeing me so upset and hurt all the time. I run up to my room and give Jade a few more minutes before I text her. I decided to take a fast shower and put on some comfortable clothes. Once finished I look at my phone to see a missed call and a text. Time to text the love of my life hopefully she will come over tonight so we don't have to deal with Trina. I don't think I can handle those 2 arguing over stupid shit.
Tori's texting

Tori: Hey love sorry was in the shower.
Jade: It's fine I just wanted to ask if I could come over.
Tori: That's perfect my mom told me to invite you over for dinner tonight.
Jade: Let me guess you already told them about us?
Tori: I did. I hope your not mad
Jade: Baby why would I be mad. Just because I don't like doing the whole meet the parents thing doesn't mean I would be mad.
Jade: I told my mom as soon as I got into the car only because I know she could spot my smile from across the parking lot.
Tori: So does that mean you will come eat with us don't worry Trina won't be here.
Jade Of course love I will be over in 30 minutes. We can watch a movie or help your mom in the kitchen
Tori: Thank you baby and I bet my mom would love the help
Jade: Okay see you in a few I love you
Tori: I love you too babe
End of texting

Jade's POV

I can't believe I agreed to have dinner with Tori and her parents. Ugh I hope they don't hate me for how I treated Tori in the past. Hell I hate myself enough as it is. To think just three weeks ago I was still making her life a living hell the whole time all I wanted to do was kiss and hold her. Why was I such a bitch? She is so amazingly perfect in everyway. Tori forgave me for being a gank to her and treating her like shit. I'm so grateful that she could still love someone like me.

I hurry and change my clothes so I don't look like a total slob. I put on a pair of my black skinny jeans and my favorite black tank top with a white button up shirt. I have my mom help roll my sleeves then put on my best boots. I leave my hair down but I brush through it one last time. Before I head out the door I give my mom a hug. I guess my nerves are kicking in because my hands are sweaty. I really hope I haven't lost the chance to make her parents like me.

I pull up the driveway at Tori's house trying to convince myself to get out and go knock on the door. I finally get the courage to get out but my hands are slightly shaking the closer to the door I get. Why is this so hard? I'm Jade West I shouldn't be nervous or afraid. Yet here we are my stomach is in knots but I push it all aside. I have to do this for Tori. Because she would do anything to make me happy so I have to do this. Not even a second after I knock the door opens to a very hyper Tori staring at me. I can't help but smile when she gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I can already feel the nervousness fading away.

She is my happiness and the only one who can calm my racing mind. She takes me by the hand and pulls me inside. We go to the kitchen and before Tori says anything I ask if we can help. Her mom looks up with a smile and says sure. So she has me make the salad thankfully Tori grabbed my favorite salad dressing. I cut up some apples and chopped up some walnuts drizzled the raspberry vinaigrette over the top and put it on the table. Tori finished making the garlic bread and I started washing the dishes so there wouldn't be a ton to do later. Once everything was on the table we sat down to eat and of course the questions started coming. Thankfully they just really wanted to understand why I was such a gank in the first place so I explained everything as best as I could.

"I never hated Tori truthfully I fell for her the day she was on stage singing in Trina's place." I told them

"I couldn't understand what was going on in my head my heart was saying one thing but my head was telling me, NO!" I said

"I started dating Beck trying to force myself to be straight but I couldn't even kiss him. Just the thought made me nauseous." I said

"I didn't want to be more of a disappointment then I already was. My mom has excepted me but I had a hard time excepting myself." I told them

"Tori changed me the last time I hurt her I had already broke up with Beck. I thought I was ready but when Sikowitz said we would have to share a tent I don't know I panicked." I said, with Tori's hand in mine.

"I'm so sorry for how I treated her and I promise I will never hurt her again. I can't see my future without her in my life." I said, while looking into her eyes.

By the time I was done I think both her parents understood. I still wish I could go back and fix the mistakes. I'm however grateful that Tori didn't kick me to the curb and tell me to leave her alone. She holds my heart in her beautiful hands and I would never ask for it back. She has shown me what it truly means to be loved. I feel as though my heart is finally complete. Tori takes my hand after I finish help wash the dishes and takes me up to her room. As soon as she closes the door she launches herself into my arms. I kiss her on the lips to show her how much I love her. I smile into the kiss and just hold her close to my body.

Author note: Sorry it took so long i hope it was worth the wait. I will try to post another chapter later.

What will happen when Tori finally gets to meet Jade's mom?
