Real House

Chapter 5

Jade's POV A day before the party
"17, 18, 19, and 20. That's all of them mama." Liz tells me once she finish counting the candy bags for the party.

"Okay thank you, and do you have your shoes on? Your grandpa will be here in a minute." Her grandpa is coming to take her, Jess, Sophie, Jori, and Claire out to some new restaurant. I would go but I have to finish decorating for the party. Liz helped me with the stuff that didn't involve her getting up on a chair. Sorry but this girl is a monkey. You get her somewhere high and she wont come down unless you bribe her. Tori was right when she said I would regret teaching her how to bribe people.

"I'm ready and so is Jori." She says coming back with Jori in her arms sitting her on the table playing with her. I just nod and take the candy bags just sitting them on the table where I'm going to put the cake.

*DING DONG*

I walk to the door opening it seeing Jess.

"Ready?" Jess asks has she texts on her phone not even bothering to look up has she speaks. I roll my eyes snatching the phone away from her.

"Hey!" Her head shoots up looking at me with an annoyed expression.

"Oh hey little sis it's nice to see you too. My day was great thanks for asking." My voice full of sarcasm with the smile to match. She rolls her eyes mocking me trying to take the phone back but I grab her wrist quickly pulling her against me into a hug.

"Jaddeee." She groans out loudly trying to pull away but I hold her tighter laughing.

"Liz come on." I call still not letting a fighting Jess go has she keeps trying to push me away or pull away. Liz comes to the door a couple of seconds later with Jori. I finally let Jess go kissing her forehead who smacks my arm has she glares at me fixing her clothes. I laugh getting Jori's diaper bag handing it Liz who already gave Jori to Jess. "Okay you girls be good." I kiss Liz, Jori, and Jess forehead. Liz and Jess groan while Jori just smiles really big. They all love getting the motherly affection from Tori or I but Jess and Liz act like they don't because they're kids. And you know how they are.

They nod has they head back to the car and I wave to my dad, Claire, and Sophie. Who waves back smiling. Once they are in the car, my dad straps Jori in, and they pull out the drive way and out of sight I go back inside and finish decorating.

A few hours later
"Finally." I sigh loudly flopping down on the couch. I have been decorating for hours because I had to do the living room, dinning room, a few hallways, the backyard and drive way. I didn't blow up any balloons yet because Jess wanted to do that and I'm a need her help to put them up. All of this was a lot of work so no. I might blow up a few but that's it. Now I'm just waiting for Beck to bring the cake.

I did talk to Tori today. She called just to check in. We talked a little bit before she had to get back to work. I really miss her. I wish she would hurry up and come home. I know she said she would be back tomorrow night but that's a long time. I know I seem clingy and we have been apart from each other longer times then this but its something about this time that I wish she wasn't gone. Not just because of the party but... I don't know, I just want her home.

Ding Dong
And there's the doorbell. I head to the door looking through the peephole seeing Beck. I groan loudly before unlocking and opening the door.

"Come in." I greet him harshly and he just laughs shaking his head has he comes in with the cake.

"Well hello to you to." He says sarcastically and I just roll my eyes.

"Give me the cake so you can go." I'm in full rude mode. I don't know why. It's just something about Beck I can't stand. When we were together I was never like this to him but once we broke up it was smart ass remark after another.

He sighs loudly looking at me with the are you serious face. I raise my pierced eyebrow letting him know I'm very serious.

"Jade... when are you going to stop being like this toward me?" He asks and I snort rolling my eyes again taking the cake and putting it on the table where the candy bags are. "Hello?" He ask annoyed.

"I don't have to answer Beck." I say his name with a lot of venom. "This is my house you can leave." I growl point to the door. He sighs again running his has though his hair that has gotten longer and still amazing. I will admit that.

"You were never like this towards me before. What happened?" He asks his brown eyes looking into my fiery blue searching for an answer. I hate myself for this, but I'm was still mad at Beck for breaking up with me. I don't know why, but I just am.

I hate that I am. I always thought we would be together forever but once he finally moved on... The fact that we were over was confirmed.

Our eyes are locked on one another. The tension of my resentment hanging over our heads like a stupid wet blanket, wrapping itself around our necks and suffocating us. I just look at him. Before I kiss him.

That one kiss lead to so much more. It lead to the biggest mistake of my life. Cheating on Tori, betraying her makes me feel lowest of low.

No I don't want him back, and I don't regret being with Tori or having my daughters. So, please don't think that.

Sleeping with Beck made me realize that I shouldn't be mad at him. Our relationship wasn't working out in the first place and it was time to move on.

LINE BREAK

Present
After Beck left I just cried and said to myself that I had to tell Tori. I'm not about to keep this from her. So that's why I'm here now still holding her hand tightly has she just looks at me. No expression, just her brown eyes looking blankly into my blue ones.

"Tori." I call her name softly and still nothing. "Tori I'm so sorry. That was the biggest mistake I have ever made and I never meant to hurt you." She pulls her hands away from mine and I suddenly feel cold. She stands up and walks away without a word.

I stand up quickly following her. "Tori please talk to me. Say something." I beg my eyes' getting watery has I follow her upstairs down the hallway to our room. Once we get there she goes inside closing the door in my face and locks the door. I close my eyes leaning my forehead against the door. "Tori." Once her name leaves my lips I hear her start to sob. I right away start to cry hating myself more for making my wife cry like that. "I love you Tori." I say though the door but I doubt she heard me because of her sobbing.

I walk away from the door not able to take hearing my wife crying. I go downstairs going into the living room seeing my daughters still sleeping. I sigh has I pick Jori up taking her to her room putting her in her crib kissing her forehead murmuring 'I love you' against her forehead. I turn the baby monitor on as I leave going back to get Liz. I sigh looking down at the sleeping girl.

I know if she ever found out that I cheated on Tori it would break her heart. Liz made me promise one day when she was watching some teen TV show where the guy cheated on his girlfriend. Liz didn't like that all and she told me to promise her that I would never cheat on her mommy and I did. But I broke that promise once my lips crashed against Beck's. I start to cry again has I pick her up holding her tightly against me has I carry her upstairs tucking her into bed.

"I love you too." I whisper kissing her forehead before I leave still crying. I go back to the living room laying face down in crouch.

I don't wanna lose my wife.
