Hi people! So this story is based on the music video to "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift, which is why the scenario and what happens is almost identical. The second part is different, but for these first few chapters, it'll remind you of the music video.

Disclaimer: I don't own the song, the music video, or even Victorious, as much as I'd like to :P

….

After an extremely restless night's sleep, I finally brought myself to opening my eyes and looking around. I hoped that the night before was a dream. I hoped that if I just fell asleep the night before that I would wake up the next morning in my bed and everything would be perfect. That the last four months would go away. But it didn't. When I looked around, I realized I was in the same spot I was when I fell to the ground and somehow managed to fall in a restless, light sleep.

I was lying on the cold hard ground in the middle of nowhere…alone.

I managed to raise up and look all around me. I knew what happened the night before, but what about the last four months?

It took me a few moments for it all to come back to me. It's like my mind erased everything while I was sleeping. But suddenly, memories started to come back…

"Josh, what are you doing?" I basically screamed out at him. "Are you trying to get us killed?" We were out driving around, just killing time before a party, but he was standing up in his seat while holding his arms out.

"Oh, relax, babe," he said like it was no big deal. "Nothing is going to happen."

Sure enough, he was right. Seconds later, he got back in his seat and continued to drive. I let out a sigh of relief.

That was almost a month ago. He never cared about my safety or even his own for that matter.

"Come at me," he said and held his arms out. "What are you gonna do about it?"

The huge, tough guy that Josh decided to pick on attacked him. I went to go try and break it up, but some random guy could tell that I didn't belong in the middle of it, so he pulled me back. I screamed out, "Let me go! That's my boyfriend! I have to stop him!"

"Miss, you have no right to break this up!" he yelled at me. "It doesn't matter who you are! Are you trying to get yourself hurt?"

I ignored him and watched Josh fight with this man twice his size and he was getting beat up very badly. "Josh, stop it!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and I managed to get away from the man who was holding me back and I ran to my boyfriend and this other guy and tried to pull them apart. The other guy was right. I was wrong to get in the middle of this. Just because I got in the middle, I ended up getting backhanded by Josh and a kick in the stomach from the guy he was fighting with. I don't think they intentionally did it, but everything was happening so fast they couldn't stop it.

I fell to the ground and the guy who originally had tried to hold me back ran to me and pulled me back, while Josh and this other guy continued to fight. "What did I just tell you?" this guy yelled and I guess as punishment, he slapped me hard across the face.

There was nothing else I could do except wait for the fight to end.

That was a week ago. I was just barely getting over the bruises on my face.

After walking around this place for what felt like a lifetime, I finally found my purse. I quickly dug through it and found what I was looking for. My phone. There was one person I knew I should call. One person who would always help me, no matter the situation. No matter the time of day. But after our fight two days before, I don't know if he'd even want to hear my voice.

"I can take care of myself, just stay out of my life!" I screamed at Andre.

"Fine!" he screamed back and I turned to him, an angry expression on my face. "Don't listen to me! See if I care! Just don't come crying to me if he breaks your heart." He turned around and left.

"I don't intend on that happening!" I screamed and got in my car and went to Josh's house.

That was the last time I saw Andre.

I pushed all the bad thoughts out of my head and called him. I didn't care that it was 6:59 in the morning; I had no one else to turn to.

"Hello?" his groggy voice said on the other end.

I didn't think I would cry, but when I heard his voice, my eyes welled up in tears. And when I spoke, my voice shook. "Andre?"

"Tori?" he said confused. "Is that you?"

"Yes," I said shakily. "I'm…I'm so sorry for calling at this time, but…I have no one else, Andre. Please…" I let out a sob and it seemed like that released even more sobs. Before long, I was crying. I couldn't stop.

I heard some rustling around before Andre spoke again. "Tori, talk to me. What's going on? Are you okay?"

I managed to get out, "Far from it,"

"What happened?"

I sighed heavily, the sobs still coming through. "He…happened."

"What…what does that mean? Do you mean Josh?"

I flinched at hearing that name. But I still said, "Yes,"

"What did he do?"

I let out another sob. "What didn't he do, Andre? He took…everything from me. I have nothing…to live for anymore. He took it all away. And now I'm all alone. I have…I have no one. I'm so scared, Andre. I just…I can't…" I broke down and cried again.

"Where are you?" he asked suddenly. "I'm coming to get you."

"I…I don't know." I said. "He took me to a party last night, but…I don't know where it is."

"Where did he go?" he asked. "And wait…why are you calling me at seven in the morning? Oh, my God, what did he do to you?"

Andre had so many questions that I didn't know the answer to. "Andre…he…he left. Okay? Last night…was the final straw. I saw him…with another girl." The image of him making out with another girl on the dance floor flashed through my mind, causing a few more pieces of my already broken heart to break again. I fell to the ground. "I just…I didn't know what to do. And now…I just…I can't explain this feeling, Andre. He…he took everything from me. I don't even know…who I am anymore. What he did last night…was bad, don't get me wrong, but…everything else that happened…all the fights…all the sleepless nights at his house…when he took away my innocence…all the parties that were filled with drinkers and smokers…the drugs he made me try…everything. It's just…I don't…" I couldn't even finish my sentence. For one, I was crying too hard and for two, the memories of it all were too much to handle. I don't know how I put up with his crap for four months.

"Listen to me, Tor, okay?" said Andre in a soothing voice. "It's gonna be okay and I'm going to help you. Now do you have any idea where you are? As soon as you tell me that, I will jump in my car and come get you."

I was still crying, but I collected myself enough to answer him. "I have…no clue, Andre. I really don't know." I looked around. "It's just an abandoned area. I just…I don't know, I'm sorry."

"What about any street signs? Anything that could pinpoint to your location?"

"No," I said. "I don't know, I'm sorry."

"Okay, let me think…" He was silent for a moment, thinking about what to do. I was breathing slow, ragged breathes. I just wanted to get out of this place. "Okay, I got it! Do you have PearCloud?"

"Yes, why?"

"I could track your phone through that." he said. "Just give me your email and password and I'll get in to see your exact location!"

I let out a sigh of relief. "You're a life saver, Andre. Thank you so much."

"No problem," he told me. "Okay, hold on; let me go get my laptop." It took him literally ten seconds to get back on the phone with me. He quickly to the PearCloud website and then asked for my email and password. I gave it to him in a heartbeat. Usually I didn't trust anyone with my passwords, but I couldn't care less at this point. Besides, this was Andre. I knew I could trust him.

After a few moments of silence, he finally said, "Okay, uh…I can't find the street name, but I do have the coordinates of where you're at. I'll just put that in my GPS; it looks like that'll be the easiest way to get to you."

I wanted to cry because of how amazing Andre was. "Andre, you have no idea how much this means to me."

"I'll always be here for you, girl, you know that." he said gently. "Just because we had a fight the other day doesn't change things. You're still my best girl and always will be."

"You're the best." I said shakily.

"Thanks, but so are you." He sighed. "Okay, I'm gonna head out now. Would you like for me to stay on the phone with you until I get there?"

"Yes, please," I said. "I don't wanna be alone with my thoughts right now."

"Okay, don't worry, you…"

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Andre? Hello?" There was no one there. "Andre?" I pulled the phone away and the message that popped up made me want to cry: "battery too low to continue call."

"Of course," I muttered and then quickly sent Andre a text to let him know what happened. Just when I got his reply, my phone completely died. Great. Now I was officially all alone. Just what I needed at a time like this.

…..

I should have seen it coming. All the signs were there. I met Josh in April when an old friend of mine named Amber decided to call me up after we hadn't spoken in almost two years. She went to my old high school and when I transferred to Hollywood Arts, we completely lost contact even though we were still in the same city (LA is huge, but still). So the fact that she called me up that day was so strange, but I liked it. When we met up, it was just like old times. Nothing had changed.

Amber and I were just chatting and catching up on life when Josh walked up behind us. "What's going on, ladies?"

We both turned around. I smiled, thinking he was cute, but Amber crossed her arms and said, "What do you want, Josh?" Her voice was very cold towards him.

He backed up, holding up his hands. "Whoa, chill, girl. What's your deal?"

She laughed dryly. "Do you really want me to explain it? You ruined my sister's life!" Amber had a sister who was two years older than us. "Everything was going perfect for her, but then you came along and just ruined it!"

"Hey, I didn't ruin anything for Ally, okay? She's the one who left me."

"She left you because you're a jerk!" exclaimed Amber. "She's just barely getting her life back in order. How do you even live with yourself after what you did?"

"What did he do?" I whispered to Amber.

She slightly shook her head. "Nothing. Let's go," She grabbed my arm and pulled me away from this guy.

"Hey, who's your friend?"

"Leave. Her. Alone." said Amber in between clenched teeth.

"I just asked for her name; what's your problem?"

"I think I just–"

"Tori," I cut in. Josh flashed me a smile. "My name's Tori."

"Hello Tori," he said. "I'd shake your hand, but it looks like Amber here won't let you get even an inch closer to me."

I glanced at Amber and she was giving the "don't go there" look. "But at least I'm right here."

"I see that." He smiled at me again. "Can I have your number?"

I was about to say sure, but Amber cut in, "No and we're leaving now, bye!" She tightened her grip around my arm and we ran off.

But I stopped her. "Hey, hey, what's your deal?"

Amber looked at me like I'd grown a second head. "Tori, do you really want to give your number to that guy? Don't you get it?" She grabbed my shoulders and shook me. "Snap out of it, Tor! You're smarter than this! You're smarter than to go for a guy who is obviously bad news! He broke Ally's heart, don't you get that? You really want to go for him after knowing that? He's trouble."

I bit my lip and crossed my arms. After a moment of silence, I mumbled, "He doesn't seem so bad."

When I said those words, Amber became furious with me. We got into a fight right there and started arguing with each other. One part of my brain said, "Listen to Amber; she's your best friend! You know her better than this guy!" but another part of my brain was saying, "I want to get to know this guy." That's the part of my brain was most dominant.

Amber got so angry at me that she just ditched me there. I mumbled out, "Some friend you are," and I managed to catch up with Josh. "Hey, Josh!" I said, running up behind him.

He turned around. "Hi Tori."

I smiled. "Do you still want my number?"

He returned a smile. But that smile…it was a smile I'd never seen before. It was not a, "you're so pretty" smile or even "I want to get to know you" smile. It was a smile that said, "I'm trouble and now you're stuck."

And, boy was I stuck and as a result, the next four months turned into the worst four months of my entire life.

…

What do you think? I know it's not exactly original since it goes along with the music video, but I'm basing it off of the music video. When I saw that video, I had the idea to make the same thing happen to Tori (I'm so evil omg lol).
