A/N: Andre gets the first chapter and Cat the second. Enjoy :)
Andre
Andre knew Beck only together with Jade. When he came into the small group Beck and Jade were already together for half a year. Beck and him immediately got along each and with Cat being Jade's best friend Andre slowly started spending more time with Beck and became his best friend. Andre never asked Beck how him and Jade came to be, but the more he saw Jade and him as a couple the more the question why he was together with her entered his mind. Not that Jade wasn't beautiful, that she surely was in Andre's eyes, but her behavior could be difficult to say the least.
Almost two years later when Jade and him worked on a song together for hours and she sang to him, he understood. Jade was so much more than what meets the eye and Beck and Cat had surely seen that already. When he realized that he was falling in love with Jade his heart stopped for a moment. She was his best friend's girlfriend, he shouldn't have these feelings for her, but he couldn't do anything against them. The song he performed with Tori for Jade helped but there were still lingering feelings he couldn't get rid of, but he would never act on them.
Slowly Andre realized that Jade and Beck together may be an odd couple, but he could see how much they loved each other. Sure there were fights, but in the end these didn't hold long before the two were back to kissing and making up. With the new addiction to their group in form of Tori Vega Andre thought he finally found great friends. However the fights between Beck and Jade increased. Andre couldn't understand why Jade was so jealous all the time, it was obvious to him that Beck only loved her.
This time the break up was bigger than the small one Beck and Jade had a few weeks after Tori came to Hollywood Arts. In Sinjin's game show Beck's harsh words shocked Andre. Normally his best friend was always calm and laid-back, but when it came to Jade it was different. It wasn't the first time Andre realized that Jade must mean a lot to Beck if he was willing to let his temper flare up. It was strange that he considered that now that the couple in their group was about to break up.
Later at Tori's house the fighting that had been a constant since Sinjin's game show found it's end in an ultimatum. Andre could see how much it pained Beck to see Jade like that and he was sure Beck would open the door. Despite the fighting they were a great couple and it was obvious that they loved each other a lot. However when Beck stopped and Jade ended the countdown the door was still closed. It shocked Andre, but he was even more shocked when Beck turned around and casually said they should just play cards. Was he really going to pretend that he just didn't break his own heart and Jade's?
Something in Andre wanted to tell Beck off, but the moment they sat down and the attention was off of Beck for the moment Andre looked at his best friend again and saw the heartbreak. Beck was putting up a front and acted like he hadn't hurt himself with his decision. The days following Beck didn't speak about Jade to any of them, but it hurt Andre the most because he was his best friend, he could talk to him. Andre could see that Beck, even thought the biggest part of their group was constantly around him and not Jade, was even more lonely than she was. Jade had always Cat and even now her best friend didn't leave her side most of the time. Beck, even thought he was surrounded by his friends, looked lonely and Andre wanted to help him but didn't know how.
It wasn't until two weeks later that Beck invited Andre to his RV, so they could watch a football game. Both weren't too much into sports, seeing that art was their passion, but a boys night would be good for them. Not only Jade had nothing to do on weekends, Beck didn't as well seeing that they had spend most of their time together while they had been dating, so it didn't surprise Andre that Beck seemed rather happy when he came over. After an hour and a few beers Beck finally began talking about Jade for the first time since their break up.
Andre didn't know what he had awaited, but the pained expression Beck had during the whole time he talked about Jade shocked him. Sure he had known that Beck was hurting but he didn't expect to which extent. Beck was a good actor, maybe even the best one on their school, so it must have been easier for him to fool them all. Andre didn't know what he should tell Beck to make him feel better, because there was no way you could forget the feelings for a girl you loved for almost three years. He never had a long relationship so far and maybe he had thought he was in love with the girls he had dated but seeing Beck now made him realize that he had never really been in love. What Beck felt for Jade was love, true love.
The whole situation wasn't easy for Andre, because he knew this time the break up was real. Jade was doing her best to ignore Beck and even thought she was a great actress as well Andre saw a hurt look on her face when she thought no one was looking. He couldn't tell Beck everything would be alright again, because this time he wasn't sure if it would, so he just lay a hand on Beck's shoulder in silent support and let his best friend get everything off his chest. Wasn't that what best friends do, being there for each other?
Their football evenings became a constant for the two best friends and Andre was glad Beck was more open to him during this time. It seemed that Beck had realized that he could trust his best friend with the pain and hurt he was going through. However outside of these evenings Beck kept his facade up and didn't stop the girls from flirting with him, especially when Jade was around. Andre had never understood why Beck had flirted during his relationship with Jade, but slowly he realized that back then Beck wanted to make her jealous to have a proof that she loved him and now he was doing it to see if Jade still cared.
A few weeks later the group was invited to a house party from a guy that was new on Hollywood Arts. While Cat dragged Jade away the moment they entered the house him and Beck stayed by the couches. When two girls approached them Andre smiled at them and the four began talking. Maybe talking to a nice girl would lift Beck's mood a little. However when the girl that had been flirting with Beck came over to them and pulled her friend, the girl he was talking to, away he knew something must have gone wrong.
Sighing at the lost chance to flirt with that girl he approached his best friend who sat on one of the couches. When Andre asked him what happened Beck told him that the girl had complained that his focus wasn't on her and that he had called her Jade two times. Andre shook his head, of course he had, his mind was still only on Jade. After a few seconds in silence Andre told him he would get them punch, maybe that would loosen Beck a little.
When Andre came back a whole new picture awaited him. Sure Beck still sat where he had left him, but his expression was one of jealousy and anger, he even clenched his fists so hard that they were turning white. Andre followed Beck's glance and was met with a strange sight. Jade and Cat were both dancing, that was not what was strange but the guy dancing so closely to Jade was. He wasn't touching her but still so close that it could be considered dancing together. Andre had never seen that expression on Beck's face, but during his and Jade's relationship she had never given him any reason to be jealous. Beck being the jealous one was a turnaround and now Andre was more sure than ever that his best friend was still in love with Jade.
A few hours later they all left the party. Beck hadn't let Jade and that guy out of his eyes, even thought they hadn't done anything besides dancing. Andre offered Beck that he could crash at the RV, knowing that maybe his best friend wanted to talk to someone. To his surprise he agreed and they drove to his RV. Beck told Andre that he could borrow a few clothes from him to sleep in and left to get ready in the small bathroom. However when Andre opened the wardrobe he was in for a surprise, hanging casually between Beck's clothes were a few that obviously belonged to Jade. Andre was sure Beck couldn't get rid of them or give them back to her, because he still wanted to have something of her around him. The second thing that caught his attention was a small box with the name Jade on it. Normally he wasn't that curious and stayed out of other people's stuff, but he couldn't help himself from opening the box. Among a few things that he knew Beck gave Jade to her birthdays, their anniversaries and Christmas he found the necklace. It must have been Jade's because Beck still wore his, another sign that he was still in love with Jade.
When Andre heard Beck come out of the bathroom he quickly put the box back and closed the wardrobe. This night Beck didn't talk to him about anything that happened at the party but he knew his best friend was glad he was there for him. In the morning Andre was the first to wake up, he was not only an early riser but Beck's couch was uncomfortable. Looking over to Beck he saw his best friend slowly waking up too. Beck stretched a hand out to his right side automatically, Andre guessed that this was where Jade had always slept, searching for someone who wasn't there anymore. Even half awake his best friend could only think about his ex girlfriend.
All the small things Andre had witnessed the last few weeks let him come to one conclusion, Beck was still in love with Jade and he was pretty sure Jade felt the same. However it took a little more time and the Full Moon Jam until both admitted that to each other. Andre was MC that evening, but when Jade entered the stage he came over to stand on the side. After the first few words Jade sang he knew that this song was about Jade and Beck's relationship and he watched his best friend realize that as well. Beck seemed intrigued by her singing and slowly got closer to the stage. Of course Andre of all people knew what Jade's voice could do to someone, after all he fell in love with her after she sang to him that evening they had worked on his song together.
Andre shook his head and focused back on the stage where Beck now approached Jade. He knew his best friend long enough to see that Beck was actually nervous. Even thought he couldn't hear what they were talking about he knew Jade wouldn't make the first move, she was too proud for that, so it didn't surprised him that Beck was the first to lean in. Jade followed quickly and just like that they were making out on stage. Andre smiled when he saw how happy his best friend looked. He wouldn't be surprised if someone would make a play out of this, after all that was pretty much the best happy end that you could wish for.
