André Harris was sitting on his sofa, watching TV, when a soft knocking came from his front door,

'Who's that, who would have the sense to be out in this kind of weather?' André thought to himself, it was raining hard outside, as if heaven itself were pouring out its wrath onto the world.

As André opened the door, he came face-to-face with a disheveled, and crying Tori Vega.

"Tori, what's wrong?" André asked, but Tori was crying too hard to talk to him,

"Come on inside, talk to me." André said, leading Tori to his sofa, where she immediately wrapped her arms around André, sobbing into his chest.

"M-M-Matt walked out on me this morning." Tori managed to say through tears.

"Why?" André asked.

Tori and Matt had been Hollywood Arts recent power couple ever since Beck and Jade were de-throned.

"He cheated on me because he thought you and I were together. I-I need a friend, André." Tori sobbed.

"Calm down T, he isn't worth the tears." André said.

His voice seemed to soothe her, but she needed to hear more.

"You really think so Dré?" Tori asked looking hopeful yet clueless.

This made André look at her questioningly, "Of course I do, he doesn't know how special you are and that your one of a kind. He doesn't get you like I do."

"Thanks André" Tori said with a small smile.

It was only a few months prior when André discovered his feelings for Tori and it scared him. These feelings were stronger than the ones he had for Jade and it was only a matter of time before his wonk got out.

He thought of Tori being hurt by Matt and how he swore he would put him in a world of pain if he broke Tori's heart. It happened. He hurt her. Hell, it hurt André just to see his best friend in this state but she would never forgive him if he beat up her ex boyfriend. With that plan thrown out the window, maybe there was hope that he could get together with Tori, it was now, or never.

"Tori?"

"Yeah Dré?"

Could he really do this? Could he seriously ask out the girl of his dreams? Would she say yes? She was just getting out of a realationship, so wouldn't asking her to be his girl be kinda...fast?

"Nevermind"

"Okay"

"Hey André?" Tori asked a couple mintues later.

"Yeah Tor?" André replied.

"Do you love me?" Tori asked nonchalantly.

"Course I do T" André said, looking at Tori, who had moved closer and was now pratically sittting in his lap.

"No André, I mean really really love me?" Tori said a litle more boldly.

"What are you saying, Vega?" André asked with an eyebrow arched high.

"We gave friendship a try, and were successful, so why not take it a step further?" Tori asked, making André feel numb

"You want to give us a try?" André asked suprised.

"Yeah." Tori said smiling,

An at that moment André leaned in, planting a kiss on Tori's forehead, but just as his lips made contact with Tori's forehead, she looked up, catching his lips with hers, when the two broke apart, André had a huge goofy grin on his face.

"Still care about Matt?" André asked.

"Matt who?"
