Hello my loves! As I said last chapter, I will be exploring the relationship of Jandre in this fic. Don't worry, they will not end up together, but there will be some fluff. This chapter takes place during The Hambone King.
Andre entered Nozu, quickly followed by Jade. They spotted Cat and Robbie over at the bar and Andre greeted them briefly while Jade nodded at Cat before walking towards a table in the back. Andre followed after Jade,amused by her anti-social attitude. Jade had been feeling down about Beck today, so Andre decided to cheer her up by taking her to get sushi since Cat already had plans with Robbie. Jade glanced at the menu, pursing her lips as she did so. Andre watched her with a smile, happy to have some time with Jade alone. It was fun to have Cat around, but sometimes she could be a little overwhelming.
"So, what do you think about Cat and Robbie?" Jade asked after they had placed their order. Andre looked up at Jade surprised, wondering what brought on the question. He turned to look at his two friends by the bar and noticed how flirty they were. He had noticed that they were spending a lot of time together now, and Cat often talked about Robbie when the three of them hung out.
"I know they both have the hots for each other, but I don't know if they'll ever admit it." Andre said with a shrug as he turned his attention back to Jade. She smiled as she watched the two flirt shamelessly.
'I think it would be nice to have a new couple in the group. Cat's liked Robbie since forever. Maybe we should do something about it?" Jade suggested with a devious smile. Andre knew that look all to well. He contemplated arguing with her, but once Jade set her mind to something there was no changing it.
"Alright, what do you have planned, J?" Andre asked with a grin. Jade found her lips turning up in a smile as Andre used the nickname he gave her. Cat always called her Jadey, something only she was allowed to say, and Andre had taken to calling her J in the last few months once they grew closer. As much as they both hated Beck right now, he was the reason they became such good friends.
"Well, I'll talk Cat into admitting her feelings and you'll talk to Robbie. We'll set them up on a blind date and see how it goes?" Jade suggested with a bright smile. As much as Robbie annoyed Jade sometimes, she knew how he and Cat felt about each other. Jade wanted her best friend to be happy. Andre was about to agree when he saw Jade's face fall and her hands clench the table.
"What's wrong J?" Andre asked his friend, following her gaze across the room to see Beck seated at a table with some blonde who went to their school. Andre felt his hands clench into fists as he glared at Beck's fluffy head. He turned to Jade and reached across the table to grab her hand.
"Hey, don't worry about him, alright? We're here to have fun." Andre soothed, Jade visibly relaxing.
"Right, okay." Jade said, nodding her head slowly and turning her attention back to Andre.
Beck spotted his best friend across the room and smiled. He hadn't seen much of Andre lately, so he decided to go over and talk to him. He frowned when he saw who Andre was sitting with, Jade. Jade had been pointedly ignoring Beck since the Platinum Music Awards, and Beck wasn't sure why. He made a quick excuse to his date and casually made his way over to the pair.
Andre frowned as Jade visibly tensed, her eyes narrowing and her lips turning to a sneer. He looked behind him to see Beck approaching, and squeezed Jade's hand to calm her.
"Hey guys! What's up?" Beck asked, smiling brightly at his friend. Jade felt very uncomfortable and shifted her gaze towards the wall. Andre quickly made a plan.
"Uh, we're kinda on a date. Mind giving us some privacy?" Andre said, a harsh undertone laced into his words. Beck was shocked as he noticed their hands were intertwined above the table. Beck felt his blood boil and he glared at Andre hatefully.
"Oh. I see, that's how it is. You think you can go after my girl?" Beck spat, looking between the two angrily. Jade squirmed in her seat, feeling happy that Andre had made Beck jealous, but not happy that they seemed to hate each other. Her jaw dropped when Beck called her his girl. What did that even mean?
"Your girl? If I remember correctly, she stopped being your girl when you didn't open that door!" Andre shouted, drawing attention from several customers.
"Why don't we discuss this outside?" Jade spoke up quietly, both boys turning to her in shock. They seemed to have forgotten she was there at all.
"Fine. Let's go." Beck said, stomping out of the restaurant. Andre practically dragged Jade behind him. Jade bit her lip as she watched Andre and Beck glare at each other on the sidewalk outside the restaurant.
"How could you do this to me Andre? You were my best friend!" Beck snarled.
"I don't want to be best friends with someone who breaks girls hearts!" Andre yelled back.
"Oh so now it's all my fault?" Beck retorted.
"You left Jade all alone! If it wasn't for Cat and i she would be completely alone! Do you know who was there for her when she cried herself to sleep? Do you know who brought her coffee and chocolate? Do you know who has been there for her the last month? ME! While you've been off screwing any girl who throws themselves at you I've been trying to be a good friend to someone who needs me!" Andre screamed, frightening both Jade and Beck. Beck's heart shattered as the truth of Andre's words hit him.
"I haven't been sleeping around! I'm not like that!" Beck yelled back.
"Oh really? Because that's not what it looked like when you tried to kiss Tori!" Andre returned angrily. "Stay the hell away from Jade. All you've done is break her heart! I'm the one who has been there for her when you've made her cry! Leave her the hell alone!" Andre growled. Beck fumed, lunging forward and connecting his fist with Andre's chin. Both boys tumbled to the floor, a flurry of kicks and punches. Jade watched in horror, a scream escaping her lips.
"STOP IT! DAMMIT YOU TWO!" Jade screamed, causing the boys to roll off each other and stare at her in shock.
"I'm nobody's girl and I don't need you two idiots fighting over me! I can't look at either of you right now, especially you Beck." Jade yelled, pointing a finger and the confused Canadian.
"Do not text me, or call me, or even look at me. I'm tired of your games Beckett. Stop playing with my heart and getting my hopes up. Go screw Tori, or better yet yourself!" She shrieked, turning and running back into Nozu with tears in her eyes. She ran over to Cat and tugged on her arm, she didn't even have to say a word for Cat to tell Robbie they needed to drive Jade home.
Beck and Andre sat on the sidewalk outside Nozu feeling like complete idiots.
"Listen, bro, I'm sorry. Jade and I weren't even on a date, I just wanted to protect her from you. She's really hurting right now." Andre said quietly. Beck frowned at this news.
"It's fine, man. I was a complete douche. Friends?" Beck asked, extending his hand.
"Friends." Andre said, reaching out to clasp Beck's hand. The two smiled and stood up, brushing the dirt off themselves.
"Wanna go back to the R.V. and figure out how we're going to get Jade to stop hating us?" Beck suggested.
"Sounds good." Andre said with a light laugh.
Robbie drove down the freeway, glancing into his backseat where Cat was holding a crying Jade who was hysterically telling Cat something about Beck and Andre. Robbie had never seen jade cry, it actually hurt him to see her like this. Robbie had never been close with Jade, but his crush on Cat caused him to hang around Jade as well. Eventually Jade calmed down enough to speak clearly and Robbie picked up the end of her story.
"Robbie, if you tell anyone what just happened I will-" Jade was cut off by a nervous Robbie.
"I know Jade, I promise I won't tell." Robbie said with a small smile at the raven-haired girl. Jade nodded and turned to rest her head against Cat's shoulder until they arrived at the redheads home.
"Thank you, Robbie!" Cat chirped, giving the awkward boy a kiss on the cheek. Robbie felt his whole body heat up and heard Jade snicker as she moved to follow Cat. She was just closing her door when Robbie rolled down the window.
"Hey, Jade?" He said nervously.
"Yeah?"
"I know we aren't that close, but I am your friend and I think Beck's an idiot if you ever want to talk or whatever." Robbie said sheepishly. Jade smiled at the nerdy boy before nodding her head.
"Thanks, Shapiro." She said, turning on her heel and following Cat into the house.
Wow! That was long and intense, huh? How do you feel about jealous Beck? What about Robbie and jade as friends? DO you think Cat and Robbie will get together? Give me suggestions on other one-shots I should do!
