Tori's POV

I couldn't seem to sleep as I tossed and turned in my bed. For some reason I got the vibe that Jade wanted to kill me. Believe me, I was terrified, Jade wasn't the person to play around with especially when it came to emotions. I sat up in bed looking at the digital clock. Great, I thought to myself, its only 2:18 a.m. no one's probably awake. Maybe Andre was awake… after all I really needed to talk to him right now.

I slowly got out of bed walking down the hall to Andre's room. The lights were out so I doubt he was awake but I was going to try anyways. I knocked on his door and waited for like thirty seconds before I saw Andre slowly open the door. He looked wide awake, which took me by surprise. "Hey Tori" he said looking just as surprised to see me.

"Hey…can I come in?" I asked leaning against his door frame

He nodded closing the door behind me, "So what brings you to my room at," he looked at his watch on his nightstand, "2:23 in the morning?"

"I don't know…I'm kind of scared Jade might kill me"

He chuckled a little bit as he sat on his bed, "Tor...Jade wouldn't actually hurt you". I smiled a little bit as I felt my cheeks heat up. Andre knew I loved it when he called me Tor, something about it made me feel special to him.

"How do you know that?" I asked looking up at him

"Because," he said, "I won't let her"

This time I blushed as I looked away so Andre wouldn't see anything. I have to admit, ever since Andre helped me get back at Ryder Daniels by writing that awesome song, I've developed feelings for him. Now I really know who my real friends were and he was the first one on my list. But this was the messed up part…I liked Andre and Beck and they were best friends. True Beck had Jade, but that doesn't mean I couldn't like him and plus he seemed to be doing a great job trying to get rid of Jade.

"Aw…Andre that was so sweet" I cooed

He quietly laughed as he put his arm over me, "So you think you're ready to go back to bed?"

"No I'm still scared…maybe I can sleep in here with you?"

Removing his arm he scooted over to his side of the bed and patted the side I could sleep on. I smiled as I watched him puff up my pillow and boy did he look cute. He had a white shirt that said "I'm too good for Bed Bugs". Then he had some black pajama bottoms with white music notes all over them. I laughed as I scooted over to my side of the bed and laid there beside him. I don't know why but it didn't feel weird whatsoever knowing that I was lying beside my best friend in bed.

Feeling cold I scooted towards him as I was embraced by his heat. Without thinking, I grabbed his arm and brought it over to my waist instantly falling asleep in Andre's arms.

Beck's POV

"Beck wake up" I heard a voice say, I sat up to see Jade

"Jade, why did you wake me up so early it's only 6:26 in the morning?" I watched her as she walked in my room closing the door behind her. I really hope she didn't bring Tori into anything she was about to say because frankly it was getting old. "I wanted to set some rules straight" she said sitting across from me on the bed

"Ok, like?"

She shrugged, "I don't know…no talking to Vega today"

"Who are you to tell me who I can talk to Jade?" I questioned with a firm tone

"Your girlfriend Beck!" she started to raise her voice and that's when I decided to leave before it got out of hand. I got out of bed and walked to the door turning around to see her glaring at me. "Jade how many times to I have to tell you…there is nothing…going on…between Tori…and me," with that I left her sitting on my bed looking stupid. I wasn't going to let Jade of all people ruin my morning.

…

When I got downstairs for breakfast I noticed everyone was there except Tori and Andre. I walked around to the kitchen where I saw Robbie cooking some eggs and bacon. "Hey Beck" he said still eyeing the eying the eggs. "Hey…where's Andre and Tori?" Robbie finished putting the bacon in the oven before he turned to me.

"They're still sleeping can you wake them for breakfast?"

"Sure" I answered as I started up the stairs

When I got upstairs Tori's room was down at the far end of the hall. Actually all the ladies room where down there because if there was a burglary the guys were the first ones to make it downstairs. But anyways, I walked over to Tori's room and quietly knocked on the door. When there was no response I knocked again, but this time a little harder. Still no response, "Tori I'm coming in" I said opening the door with my eyes closed. When I figured there was no screaming, "Get out my room!" I opened my eyes to see her bed was empty. I checked her closet and bathroom yet there was no sight of Tori.

Starting to get a little worried I raced down to Andre's room. He usually knew where Tori was and plus I had to wake him up anyways. His door was unlocked so I opened it slowly and that's when I saw Andre…and Tori. They were cuddled up sleeping together and they looked like a couple for all I knew. I walked over to Andre's side of the bed, kneeled down and gently tapped his shoulder waking him up.

"Andre," I whispered, "Come down for breakfast"

He gently sat up as Tori rolled over, her head resting on his chest, "Ok, we'll be down in a second" I nodded as I started to stand and walk towards the door. I felt an ache in my stomach and I didn't know what it was…maybe jealousy? But wait, I couldn't be jealous especially after all those times I told Jade that jealousy was an ugly emotion and now I was feeling it.

Andre's POV

I watched Tori as she slept. Every now and then her hand would twitch which caused me to giggle a little bit. It was really cute how she grabs onto me tighter every time I moved to get out of bed so I decided to just let her get her rest in. I looked over my shoulder to see my iTouch sitting on my nightstand. I slowly reached for it being careful not to wake up Tori. When I got hold of it I must've accidently pressed play turning it on full blast.

"Ah!" I shrieked trying to turn it off. I looked down at Tori who was now slowly opening her eyes. Crap I thought to myself as she blinked a couple times trying to wake herself up. I looked down at her and smiled acknowledging how cute she was when she stretched her arms, her head still on my chest. I stroked her hair moving it out her eyes.

She looked up at me smiling, "Morning Andre"

"Morning Tor"

She then noticed she was still lying on my chest and sat up rather quickly. I chuckled a little bit before getting out of bed and stretching. "Sorry for sleeping in here" she apologized also getting out of bed. I smiled at her as I finished making up my bed. "It's ok Tor, really" she smiled back at me and sat down on my bed, I sat beside her.

"So, was I sleep on you all night yesterday?" she asked

I nodded, "Yeah, you were knocked out"

"Oh I hope I didn't invade you're personal space"

"You didn't" I said scooting closer to her. She turned her body so now she was faced towards me sitting with her legs intertwined. Even though she had just woken up she looked amazing and I'm not going to lie, totally kissable. I know she's my friend but I really liked her and I dreamed of kissing her one day. I don't know if she ever felt the same way about me but I hope she did.

"Do you think Jade's still gonna kill me?"

I shook my head, "Nah, it's a new day I bet she forgot by now"

"Um…Jade never forgets anything Andre" she said with a frightened look. I looked at Tori as she tucked her hair behind her ear. That's how you could tell when she was nervous, she always did that exact move, it was obvious or I just paid too much attention to her. "She'll forget trust me" I pushed but Tori just shook her head as if she didn't believe me.

"How could she forget that Beck was talking to me?" she went on

I rolled my eyes "She doesn't remember everything Tor"

"I bet she remembers my ugly face…"

I watched her in disbelief as she looked down at her feet. I couldn't believe she just said that in front of me. She's got to be the prettiest girl I've ever met in my life time and I wasn't going to sit here and listen to her bad mouth herself. She's my best friend and I really liked her so I guess something in me just triggered. "What are you saying?" I questioned her, "You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen…why can't you see that? I think you're prettier than Jade".

I then covered my mouth after I said all of that. Oops, she wasn't supposed to hear that, I wasn't ready to tell her I liked her. Maybe she just thought I was being a good friend…I hope she was. I tried looking everywhere but at her but that's kind of hard to do when she's sitting right in front of me. "Say something" I finally said looking at her. Tori narrowed her eyes looking at me in confusion before opening her mouth.

"Um…wow Andre…that was…"

I looked down, "Sorry that was stupid of me"

"No…it was kind of…nice" she smiled as I looked at her in shock. That's when I noticed she started to lean in towards me. I leaned in also now noticing that our faces were really close. She looked at my eyes then my lips and back to my eyes. I knew what she wanted and she knew what I wanted. I leaned in again and tilted my face slightly closing my eyes, hers were already closed. Everything was perfect! Our lips were only like one inch away when I heard the door but open. That's when we quickly separated and turned to see Beck at the door. Tori quickly stood up and said bye to me in the process and then walked past Beck and nervously waved at him before leaving.

Beck then turned looking at me, "What the hell was that?" he asked

"Tori couldn't sleep last night so she came to talk to me and we ended up falling asleep so this morning she thought Jade was still trying to kill her because she saw you talking to her, so I tried comforting Tori and my feelings for her were kind of exposed and…I almost kissed her" I stood up and walked to my bathroom with Beck following me.

He crossed his arms in the mirror and leaned against the wall, "Well while you two were almost making out…everyone was waiting for you two to eat downstairs"

I rolled my eyes as I took off my shirt putting on some deodorant, "I didn't wanna wake her"

"Whatever, just hurry up and get dressed and then come down for breakfast" Beck said as he walked out the room.

I shook my head out of anger before stripping of my pajama bottoms and changing into my black cargos. Then I put on my red Usher shirt and sprayed some cologne on myself. I then ran into my room putting on my black ankle socks and putting my hair in a ponytail, Tori said she liked it like that. Checking myself one last time I headed out my room and downstairs for breakfast.

…

When I got downstairs I noticed I had beat Tori downstairs, after all she is kind of slow in the mornings. I sat by Robbie and across from Beck and Jade. When Tori came down I couldn't help but smile at her. She was wearing nice dark blue denim skinnies with a purple shirt that said Princess and some purple converse. She came over and sat by me blushing secretly as I put my hand over hers and pretended like I didn't notice it.

"Nice of you to join us" said Robbie as he grabbed for the bacon

"Thanks" Tori said still smiling. Jade must've noticed some kind of unusual click between Tori and I because she was eying us the entire time. I don't think Tori realized it but I sure did, it was like every time I would say something to Tori, Jade would be all ears.

While we were eating, I couldn't help but notice Tori had some cream cheese, from her bagel, on the corner of her mouth. Without thinking I grabbed her chin and, with my thumb, wiped away the cream cheese. She blushed as she continued to look at me and I continued to look at her getting lost in her eyes. Then that's when we heard Jade, "Stop looking at each other like that!" she shouted causing Tori to jump in her seat. Upset I got up and headed up to my room before I said something I regretted. When I got to my room I opened the window and climbed out on the balcony where I could see all of Canada.

"Hey are you alright?"

I turned to see Tori at my window, "Yeah…I'm fine"

"Can you come back inside?" she asked trying to figure how I got up here

I sighed as I jumped down from the balcony and climbed back through the window, "What's up?" I asked.

"Why'd did you leave?" Tori asked sitting against the wall beside me

"Because," I started, "Jade was annoying me". I could hear Tori laugh as she shoved me in a friendly matter. I don't know why but I also started to laugh along with her as we stood up from the floor. Tori now leaned against the wall as I paced back and forth in front of her.

"Andre…what are we gonna do about earlier?"

I stopped and walked up to her putting my arms out on both sides of her and staring her dead in the eyes, "I don't know Tor". I could feel her tense up in what seemed like excitement. I slowly leaned in and kissed her collar bone and then moving up to her neck. I could hear her moan as I moved up to her jaw line. With every kiss I felt her shiver under me which really turned me on. Then to take it a bit farther I kissed the corner of her mouth and connected our foreheads together. I smiled as I saw Tori started to lean in to kiss me on the lips. I backed my head away as she opened her eyes and slightly smiled at me.

"You're such a tease"

I chuckled kissing her on the cheek, "Thanks". With that I headed out my bedroom leaving very confused yet curious Tori still against the wall.
