A/N: Sorry, don't hate Andre too much... S.K.
Tori
There are a lot of things out there about Andre and I. We are together. I feel like we have been very close friends, and it looks like we were actually more. I wish I could remember other people. Mom and Dad and another girl came to see me, I don't remember them but I have seen them on the news captions and magazines with me and it says they are my mom and dad, and that other girl is Trina.
There was another recurring face in the pictures but she always looks so surly. But she was very pretty. She was gorgeous actually. It said she was my best friend, though she hadn't come to see me so I guess she was just some representative for the label.
I chuckled Imagine waking up one day and finding out you're super famous. It was the strangest feeling; because everyone knew who I was but me.
There was a knock at the door and I looked toward it. There it was that face the surly one. "Tori!" She said her face was not surly. It was quite beautiful. The relief in her eyes as she walked closer to me as she apologized for I don't know what because my head began to spin let me know I had been waiting to see her.
"Um… Hi!" I said once she stopped talking.
"You really can't remember me?" She asked softly. I shook my head. "I'm Jade…I'm yo—"
"Jade! What are you doing here?" Andre said coming into the room. He came to hug me. Jade looked livid.
"I wanted to see if you could remember." She said, "We spent a lot of time together."
My eyebrows shot up. "We did?" I asked
"We're—" She started and again Andre interrupted.
"The best of friends…" He gave her a meaningful look. Jade glared at him… actually she looked like she could kill him.
She looked at me and she looked ready to dissolve to tears. "I… I have to go."
"Jade I'm sorry!" I said. I felt compelled to say it.
She looked back at me her eyes sadder than I have ever seen on anyone. "It's not your fault." Then she walked away.
I looked at Andre. He looked a little nervous but recovered and looked at me smiled then gave me a kiss on the cheek. That felt weird, but I suppose that I had to get used to it. I looked out of the window and he caught her by the arm.
They talked, she screamed, they argued. She wrapped her arms around her middle and said something he looked shocked and then she walked away again. Then the doctor came up to him. I am not being told something. I guess I understand not wanting to upset me, but I couldn't help wanting to comfort my best friend, or so Andre said she was.
When he walked back in he smiled. "Guess what? Other than your amnesia thing, you are cleared to go home."
"Did he say why I can only remember you, if Jade and I spent a whole lot of time together?" I asked. He faltered.
"Baby, maybe it's cause you and I were on tour together and you just got back, You and have spent more time together in the past six months than you and Jade." He said sitting on the bed next to me. It all made sense I suppose.
"So when do we go home?" I said with a smile.
"As soon as the doctor's say go.
I looked at my boyfriend for a moment, he was looking down at the ground. "Dre? Why were you and Jade arguing?"
"She and I have been like this for a long time. Ever since you and her… well since you two became close." He shrugged. "You were my best friend first."
I nodded and lay back in the bed. My head was pounding. "How did we become Lovers?" I asked after a bit of silence.
He looked at me and stood up taking my hand and kissing it. With the softest most tender smile, I said. "We're not quite there yet."
This is so confusing. I thought I was supposed to be with him. I'm twenty seven and I haven'tbeen with the man everyone says Ive slept with? "we've never been together?"
He shook his head. "Not like that, no…"
"Andre… What am I waiting for? Am I still a virgin?" I asked alarmed.
Andre laughed. "You most certainly are not!" Now I am really confused. It has been like Ten year the papers say. "Tor… listen we will have plenty of time to talk… Just, you're gonna stay with me until you are ready to go home okay?"
I nodded, just as the nurse walked in with a stack of papers. "Um… she has been released a representative has already signed the papers." The nurse said nervously. She looked down at the papers as if she had just discovered something about me she did not expect. Andre walked over to her and looked at the papers.
"Well it is her legal right to do so… It's okay." He said. Then he looked the nurse over and she blushed, then she looked over at me.
I scowled at the woman. If I didn't know better I'd say she was flirting with him right in front of me. "What was that?"
He looked at me with a start. "What do you mean?"
"Is that the kind of relationship we have? One where we go around behind each other's backs hooking up with whomever we like?" I asked.
An "o" formed on his lips. "no baby; not at all. Let's just get ready to go."
I didn't really know what was going on, Andre and I had…. From all of the info I got, been together for ten years and now he tells me that we had never actually been together, but I wasn't a virgin? What kind of woman was I? I was seventeen when this all started. Here he was hitting on some woman right in front of me.
Whatever it was, this clean slate I have is a blessing because I get to do things right this time. Create the right kinds of memories. I was gonna need some help from my friends.
