Crush, Crush, Crush

Hey guys, just got back from a Haunted House. It was so awesome! I have bruises and a headache and I'm so sleepy but I wanna give you guys this update. I'm so happy you all love this story cause I honestly didn't think you all would. Anyways back to the Haunted House, I was made to go first and I ran into so many walls that I didn't know what was going on for a couple of minutes lol. Went to another one after that and know my shoulder is bruised all to hell lol. Haunted houses are dangerous you guys.

Last chapter, Chase thought about how much he's already liking Andie. Um we have Alex back and a new boy that doesn't have a name yet. I'm not too sure what's gonna happen in this one, but I promise it'll be interesting.

A/N-This is named after Paramore's song "Crushcrushcrush" which is a really cool song and her hair is great too.

Disclaimer-Don't own Step Up 2, it's probably a good thing I don't.

When Andie and Aydan stepped inside Sarah's house the both of them smiled widely. The first day, which they both had been dreading, turned out to be the best ever. Aydan had made a new friend in Shane while Andie had a crew of friends.

Slinging their backpacks to the floor, Andie and Aydan went into the kitchen where Sarah was starting dinner. She smiled at the twins as they both sat at the table, Andie's smile was slightly wider than her sisters' and Sarah was surprised.

"How was your day?" She asked turning back to the stove.

"It was great." The two said together.

"You go first." Andie said to her little sister. "I wanna hear all about this Shane person."

"You've got a boyfriend already Aydan?" Sarah asked.

Aydan was thankful that her twin could not see the redness that spread across her cheeks.

"Shane's not a boy," She said grinning. "And we're just friends."

Andie smiled,

"Tell me about her, what does she look like?" She paused. "What does Moose look like? And Cable and Chase and--"

"Who are all these people?" Sarah asked with a laugh.

"Some of Andie's fan boys." Aydan teased.

Andie rolled her eyes and untied her blindfold from her face. She carefully pulled it off before folding it and shoving down in her pocket.

"They're not fan boys Dan." She said. "They're friends."

"If you say so." Aydan grinned. "I saw the way they were looking at you."

Andie put her head down and tried not to blush hard. She'd not told Aydan about her and Chase falling down the stairs. That'd really make Aydan want to tease her.

"So you've both got new friends, how are your classes?" Sarah asked.

"Boring." The twins replied.

"I should have known." Sarah laughed. "So when will I get to meet these friends of yours?"

Both girls shrugged.

"We haven't known them that long." Aydan pointed out. "We still gotta make sure we're gonna stay friends."

Andie smiled and nodded in agreement. She was just about to add something when her phone started to ring. She frowned slightly before the song registered in her mind.

"Hey Boy Band." She said flipping it open and putting it to her ear. "You miss me already?"

She smiled at Chase's laugh.

"I did but that's not what I called for Sunshine." He said. "I wanted to know if you and Aydan need a ride in the morning."

"You don't have to do that Chase, we can catch the bus." Andie said.

She smirked at Chase's huff.

"You know I don't like you catching the bus." He said. "And that early in the morning it's not safe."

Rolling her eyes, Andie bit back a smile.

"So what are you suggesting?" She asked.

"I'll take you." He said happily. "I know where you live and it'd be on my way so why not?"

Andie opened her mouth to make up an excuse but found that she couldn't come up with one.

"What time will you be here?" She huffed.

"Um around seven." Chase said. "Is that alright?"

Andie pulled the phone from her ear and turned her head towards Aydan.

"Chase wants to know if it's okay if he picks us up tomorrow morning." She said.

Aydan grinned widely.

"Tell your boyfriend that that's fine,"

Andie suck her tongue out at Aydan before putting the phone back to her ear.

"That's fine, so I'll see you then?" She asked.

"Yep Sunshine, I'll be there." Chase said.

After the two of them hung up, Andie placed her phone on the table before running her hands over it gently. She still did not know what Sarah looked like, she knew what Charlie looked like cause he'd been excited to let her feel his face and then describe to him what he looked like. Sarah on the other hand, the two of them did not always get along so Andie wasn't too sure if she would be okay with Andie running her hands all over her face. It didn't bother Andie much but she hoped that tomorrow Chase and his crew would let her figure out what they looked like.

"Whatcha thinking about D?" Aydan asked breaking her thoughts.

"Nothing really." Andie shrugged. "What's for dinner Sarah? It's gotta be new."

She heard Sarah laugh.

"It is, I got the recipe from the paper this morning before I went to work."

Andie nodded and rested her head on the table. She winced as her face ached for a moment. The Doctors had said that from time to time she'd get sharp pains through her face and they could give her pain medication but she'd probably have to take it for the rest of her life. Andie had opted for the sharp pains because she didn't want to get addicted to the pills and not be able to live without them.

"You okay Andie?" Aydan asked.

Nodding, Andie tried to think about something else. When she found that she couldn't she stood up and turned around. For a moment she thought Aydan was going to ask her where she was going but she didn't and Andie was glad that they were starting to let her out of their sight. Andie snorted at the thought of the paradox, they would not let her out of there sight and they were never in her sight.

She took the stairs slowly and carefully. When she reached her room, she flopped down on the bed. Luckily she didn't have any homework so she could spend her night doing nothing. Smiling at the thought, Andie closed her eyes and rolled over to her side.

After Chase hung up from talking to Andie, he heading inside his house. Alex and Blake were in the living room while Mark and Ann were making dinner. Their parents were not home and Chase was happy about that. He wouldn't have to deal with them and their annoying questions. He went into the kitchen and grabbed an apple from the bowl of fruit in the middle of the cabinet.

"Hey Blake," He began walking into the living room. "How come you didn't tell me we were getting two new students?"

Blake shrugged, not lifting his gaze from the magazine.

"Because you would have went looking for them," He finally said. "And I didn't want you flirting with them on their first day."

"Looks like it's a little too late for that." Alex said grinning. "I saw the way he was looking at Andie."

Chase glared at his little brother.

"Shut up twerp." He threatened.

Alex stuck his tongue out at him before smiling.

"It's okay though Chase," He said. "She seems cool and I like her."

Chase snorted and sat down next to Blake.

"As if your opinion matters." He muttered.

"It doesn't matter huh?" Alex said turning away from his notebook to raise an eyebrow at his second older brother. "Then what happened between you and Christine?"

Chase rolled his eyes.

"She just wasn't right."

"Uh huh." Alex said. "And you and Amy who didn't last one hour after she told you I was slow."

Chase's eyes hardened at the memory.

"She had it coming, how was I supposed to know that she was afraid of spiders?" Chase asked. "It wasn't like I found that one in the basement on purpose."

Blake snorted.

"You have something to say brother dearest?" Chase asked turning to him.

"Yea," Blake nodded. "Every girlfriend that you've ever had that has been mean to Alex you've gotten rid of. Or if Alex hasn't like them then you've broken up with them."

"I have not." Chase siad. "It just so happens that he doesn't like that ones that soon prove to me that they aren't what I'm looking for."

Both Alex and Blake shook their heads.

"You keep telling yourself that Chase." Alex said. "But none the less, Andie's pretty cool."

"You're just saying that cause she promised to show you her scar." Chase smirked.

"No I'm serious." Alex said. "It has nothing to do with that I swear, she seemed cool before she told me she'd show me."

Chase leaned back and finished off the apple that he'd been eating. He sat the core on the table besides him before sighing and closing his eyes.

"Do either of you know what's for dinner?" He asked. "I'm hungry."

"I think mark is making some new casserole or something." Blake replied. "Now shut up, both of you, I'm trying to read."

Alex and Chase looked at each other with raised eyebrows before huffing. Alex went back to his notebook while Chase closed his eyes, burying his face in the arm of the couch, he settled back to fall asleep.

When Andie woke up, the grandfather clock down in Sarah's living room struck twelve times. Frowning, she sat up and rubbed her face gently.

"Why didn't they wake me?" She muttered.

Shaking her head, Andie swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. Steadying herself, Andie held her head for a moment and when the blackness in front of her eyes stopped spinning she started to walk slowly toward the door.

Sarah, Aydan and Charlie were all sleep. Andie didn't mind really, she was just a little nervous about waking them up if she just so happen to fall down the stairs or drop whatever she was going to eat.

She didn't want to chance catching the kitchen on fire so cooking was completely out of the question. But Andie figured that Sarah had probably left her something in the microwave, at least Andie hoped she had.

The stairs creaked quietly as Andie descended down them slowly, she counted carefully and held tightly to the rail. But that still didn't mean at anytime she couldn't fall. As soon as her feet hit the cold floor of the living room, Andie relaxed just a little. Feeling along the walls, she made her way into the kitchen and over to where she knew the microwave sat. Opening it, she cautiously stuck her hand inside, when it collided with something soft and feathery she smiled.

Closing the microwave, Andie punched in the number of minutes she wanted her dinner to cook before she used the counted edge to help her find the drawer with the forks. After a couple of seconds of feeling the silverware, Andie found a fork and she went back over to the microwave. When it beeped twice, she placed her fork on the counter top and went opened the door. Carefully she pulled out her now hot food, closing the door with her elbow, Andie placed her food on the kitchen table before reaching back to pick up her fork. She sat down at the table and took the paper towel from the top of her food. She poked her fork at the food for a moment before sticking a piece and bringing it up to her mouth.

As she ate her very late dinner, Andie let her ears become her eyes and she listened to the quietness of the house. But just as she was starting to enjoy the quiet, there were footsteps on the stairs. Sitting up a little more, Andie frowned slightly it wasn't Sarah or Aydan, the footsteps were small and fast.

"Andie?"

Opening her eyes, Andie tried to stare in the direction of the voice.

"Charlie?" She questioned. "What are you doing up?"

"I heard you come downstairs, didn't want you to get hurt." He replied.

Andie smiled slightly and patted the seat next to her. She listened to him scurry across the floor and jump into the seat. Andie continued to eat her dinner, she knew he was watching her but he didn't have to know that.

"Does your face hurt?"

Andie almost choked on her food.

"What?" She asked once she was sure she wasn't going to gag.

"Your face," Charlie said quietly. "Does it hurt?"

"No," Andie said frowning. "Why would it?"

"Because, your scar looks like it would hurt." Charlie said. "It goes over your eyes and across your nose and your eyes are always white and glossy like you're about to cry."

Andie shook her head.

"No it doesn't hurt." She said.

"Oh," Charlie said. "It's pretty though."

Andie raised her eyebrows at the boy.

"What's pretty? My scar?"

"Yep?" She could practically hear him nodding.

"No it's not." Andie said. "It's twisted and crooked and so not pretty."

"Yea huh." Charlie said. "I can see it, your eyes are really pretty too, they must have been beautiful before you lost your sight."

"What makes you think that?" Andie asked tilting her head.

"Cause, they're white like Storms from X-Men now but I can still kinda see brown behind them, they're pretty."

Andie smiled down at the boy and ran her hand over his head.

"Thanks Charlie." She stood up. "Now come on, let's get you back to bed."

Charlie didn't protest for once in his life and as soon as he was tucked in, Andie went back into her room and changed into her pajamas. She laid down and pulled the covers up over her head. Running her fingers over her face gently, Andie felt from her temple to her cheek on the other side. It had not changed since she'd gotten it but she still wasn't use to the way her face and eye lids suddenly dipped in certain places. After about ten minutes of running her fingers over her scar and engraving the picture of it in her mind, Andie curled up and closed her eyes. She needed to sleep, she'd had a long day and there was no doubt in her mind that tomorrow would be longer.
