I do not own Victorious

"Who could that be?" Andre wondered as he hurried to answer his front door, it was nearly 1am. He snatched the door open to reveal a very pissed off looking Jade.

"What in the name of Nancy-" he began. Jade cut him off with a punch to the gut. "This is all your fault!" she yelled as he doubled over from having the wind knocked out of him. "Jade, what –" he began to say, but she grabbed a handful of his dreads and began dragging him up the stairs. Andre stumbled up the stairs blindly being led by Jade until she flung him into a room she assumed was his and closed the door.

"Jade what in the world is wrong with you?" he asked rubbing his scalp where she manhandled him. "Me and Beck are over and it's all your fault!" she said, her voice sounding close to breaking.

Andre thought back to the night's events, with the couples argument and subsequent breakup. "How is this my fault?" the musician asked. "You were the one who didn't invite us to Vega's stupid card game and you were the one who said Beck and I fight too much!" she said. "You can't blame that on me! You two made everyone in the group feel uncomfortable. You guys made Robbie cry!" Andre yelled. "We were all sick of it!"

"So you all sit down to a card game and talk about how much you hate us, is that how it was?" Jade asked. "What! No, none of us hate you" he said. "I couldn't tell the way you were all racing over to be with me when Beck didn't come to the door" she said sadly.

Andre thought back to after Jade walked out. She'd described everyone in the room, the word friend never being applied to anyone. Pet was the closest and that was for Cat. He was about to throw that fact in her face when he really looked at Jade. He was taken aback by the sadness that had overtaken her. She looked off into space, as if willing tears not to fall.

He had been worried about her when he heard her drive off but figured Cat would comfort her, maybe even Tori, even though Jade claimed they weren't friends. She'd done it once before.

None of them had really had their hearts in the game after Beck and Jade's fight. Beck was the first to leave, with the others slowly following one after the other. He was surprised in all this time that no one had checked up on Jade, not even Beck.

"Jade I – " Oh save it Andre, I don't care about any dumb excuses you try to come up with" Jade said as she started to make her way towards the door. "Jade listen" Andre said blocking her way "Move" she said glaring at him "No Jade, you said no one was there for you so now I will be" he said, taking her hand and leading her over to sit on his bed.

"What happened after you left?" he asked. Jade let out a sigh and looked at her scuffed boots "I drove past his RV and thought about waiting for him so I could kick his ass" Jade said, earning a chuckle from Andre "But instead I just went home and cut up anything in my room that reminded me of him" she said. "Then when I ran out of things to cut up I got mad all over again and figured I'd cut you" she said looking at Andre.

He visibly gulped and did a once over on Jade to make sure he didn't see any concealed scissors. He didn't, lucky for him. "Well Jade instead of cutting me to shreds how about we talk instead?" Andre asked. Jade looked annoyed then replied "Fine". "They both sat there awkwardly looking around a few seconds both unsure what to talk about.

Jade suddenly got up and walked over to his keyboard. "Nice music equipment" she said tapping his microphone. "Yeah, I'm a musician. Comes with the territory" he said. Suddenly Andre got an idea. "Know what would make you feel better?" he asked.

"Cutting your hair?" Jade responded glancing back at Andre. "Um..no" Andre said slowly "Lets write a song" he said. "We'll write some lyrics, record it, and make something good come from tonight". "I guess", Jade said sitting down on the keyboard bench.

Suddenly her pearphone went off. She looked at her screen and suddenly a pained expression filled her face.

"What happened?" Andre asked. Jade didn't respond, just pointed her phone towards Andre who glanced at the phone and felt a pang of hurt for the dark actress. On the Slap Beck's latest status simply said Single. Yup., with the info Beck is dating Jade removed.

Jade's head dropped and Andre immediately put an arm around her. When she began to sob softly Andre looked around unsure what to do. Jade suddenly let out a loud sob that startled Andre and almost caused him to fall off the bench.

"It'll be okay Jade" he said pulling her off the bench and back to his bed. He sat them down and let her head lean against his shoulder, his chin resting on top of her head. Andre felt his shirt become wet as Jade continued to cry her out against his neck. He gave her a squeeze, wishing he knew how to make her pain go away.

Jade lifted her face from Andre's neck and looked at him. All the years Andre had known her, she'd never looked so vulnerable. It pulled on something within him. He felt as if his body was moving on autopilot.

Andre looked into Jade's watery eyes, and pressed his lips to hers. He felt Jade inhale and still as he moved his lips against hers. Then to his surprise, he felt her lips move against his. His hands that were around her shoulders slowly slid her leather jacket off, tossing it away. Jade pressed a hand to Andre's cheek and deepened the kiss.

Andre, going off of instinct, stood, his mouth still against Jade's and slid his hands under her, lifting her and pushing her backwards onto the bed. Andre, hovering above Jade, placed his hands on either side of her head and locked his fingers with hers. Jade, with Andre's arms linked to hers, rolled them over and kissed his neck in the spot she'd cried just a few minutes ago. She placed a kiss on his chin, his cheek, his lips, and his forehead before rolling over and wrapping his arms securely around her. His arms held onto her as they both drifted off into sleep.


Andre awoke feeling stiff and exhausted. He began to rise up when he felt something unfamiliar on the side of his body. He turned his head to find Jade West curled into his shoulder.

Her normally flawless raven and blue striped hair disheveled, dried streaks of black makeup running down each cheek. The previous night's events flashed through his head and he blinked. He started to shake Jade to wake her, when he stopped just before his hand reached her face.

Even with makeup smeared over her face and no doubt puffy swollen eyes, there was something peaceful about the Queen of Mean sleeping soundly in his bed. Jade's breathe caught in her throat as she felt someone near her while she slept.

Her eyelids fluttered and she opened them to unfamiliar surroundings. Her eyes focused and adjusted to see two thoughtful brown eyes staring back at her.

"Andre" she said "What time is it?"

Sliding his arm from behind her, he reached for his phone and responded 7AM.

"What!" Jade immediately sprang up and out of his bed. "Why didn't you wake me?" she asked. "I guess I fell asleep too. You came over kind of late in your attempt to murder me" Andre said.

Remembrance of the previous nights events washed over Jade and she calmed. "Sorry" she said softly. "It's cool" Andre said walking over and wrapping his arms around her. She lightly returned the embrace before heading towards the door.

"Are you okay Jade" Andre asked remembering how devastated she'd seemed a few hours ago. Jade visibly thought about the question and responded "Yeah I am. If Beck wants to be single let him". She then made her way down the stairs and out of Andre's home, leaving him with a strange sense of loneliness watching her go.

Andre made his way into Hollywood Arts unintentionally looking for a certain black clad singer. Before he had a chance to turn the corner, Tori stopped him. "Hi!" she said brightly.

"Hola Chica" he responded. From behind Tori he caught site of Jade. She looked seemingly calm for someone who'd had her heart broken a few hours ago.

"Hey Jade how you – "Andre's question went unfinished as she grabbed his arm and pulled him into the janitors closet. "What's going on?" he asked. "What have you told Vega or Beck about last night?" Jade screeched.

"What! Nothing" he answered.

"So you haven't mentioned anything to them about last night?"

"Nope, and I won't either" Andre stated with no hesitation in his voice. "Oh well then" Jade said a little calmer "Don't" she said before pulling him in for a warm hug.

While surprised by her sudden mood swing, he responded to the embrace just as warmly. "Thank you for last night" she mumbled into his shoulder. ""You're welcome" he responded into her ear.

Their close moment was interrupted by the opening of the door and four pairs of eyes landing on them, three looking surprised and one looking surprisingly angry. "What are you two doing?" Beck asked loudly to his best friend and now ex-girlfriend. "Going to class" Jade replied smoothly before walking past the staring group.

All eyes then turned to Andre "What was that?" Beck asked a guilty looking Andre. "See what happened was Jade – and then she – um I gotta go to class" Andre suddenly took off from the closet leaving his friends with confused looks on their faces.
