Trainwreck
Hey guys! I'm like on a roll this weekend lol. I can't believe each one of my stories got updated. It's Saturday night right now but maybe I can get one more updated tomorrow. I hope so anyway.
Last chapter, Chase and Andie discussed a lot. They decided to take things slow and not rush into anything at all. The both of them like each other a lot but that doesn't mean anything in my stories lol. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter!
A/N-This one is named after Demi Levato's song "Trainwreck" which is really good and says a lot about this chapter.
Disclaimer-Don't own Step Up 2, if I did that'd probably be a very bad thing.
Taylor glared at the back of Andie's head the entire class period. It made Andie uncomfortable and nervous, she tried to ignore it and she kept reaching to her side making sure Chase was still there. If he left her side she just might freak out and cause a scene in the middle of the dance studio. After about the fourth time in ten minutes that she gently touched Chase's arm, he grabbed her hand and interlaced their fingers.
"You're really jumpy." He muttered in her ear. "What's wrong?"
"The glaring." Andie whispered. "It's starting to get to me."
Chase turned around and saw what Andie was talking about. If looks could have killed, then Andie would be ten feet under by now from the glare that Taylor was giving her.
"Do you want to leave?" Chase asked her gently.
Andie shook her head.
"Naw, I don't want more attention drawn to myself than I'm already getting." She told him quietly.
Chase smiled and scooted just a little bit closer to Andie. She leaned her shoulder against his and he watched the tension slowly leave her shoulders.
"Class is basically over." Chase told her as he watched his brother pack up his stuff. "If you want we could go now, it won't be hard."
Andie bit her lip as she thought about it.
"Okay, let's do it." She muttered.
--
Chase grinned at Andie before standing up and pulling her to her feet. Without thinking he kissed her forehead and closed his eyes in slight regret when he heard Taylor gasp in shock.
"Are you crazy!" Andie hissed at him.
Opening his eyes, Chase looked down at Andie and could see her widened eyes from behind her glasses.
"Sorry." He muttered. "I couldn't help it."
Andie muttered something that Chase didn't catch before shaking her head. Chase gently tugged her over to the wall and Andie rested her back against it.
"I've gotta go talk to Blake." He said softly. "Will you be alright by yourself?"
Andie nodded and Chase squeezed her hands tightly.
"Be right back." He said before turning to go talk to his older brother.
--
Chase hadn't been gone a full minute before suddenly, Andie heard the squeak of tennis shoes and three people were standing around her.
"What can I do for you Taylor?" Andie sighed.
"Are you and Chase together?" The girl demanded.
Andie considered not answering. But she decided that antagonizing Taylor more would probably not be the best idea so she shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm not really sure." She replied.
"What do you mean?" Taylor asked. "Did I or did I not just see him place his lips on your forehead?"
"I have no idea." Andie replied smirking. "What did you see?"
Andie thought she heard Taylor give something that resembled both a huff and a shriek.
"I'm tired of you and your smart mouth." Taylor said. "And what's with you and these stupid sunglasses? I wanna look you in the eye when I'm insulting you!"
Before Andie could reply with the smart comment that was on the tip of her tongue, her glasses were suddenly ripped away from her eyes. Sharp nails scratched the side of her face right on her temple and Taylor let out a very loud hair raising scream.
Andie stumbled back and held the side of her face where she could now feel blood dripping coming from the scratches.
"Oh my god!" Taylor screamed. "What happened to your face!"
Andie fell back onto her butt as her world spun and she scrambled back until her back hit the opposite wall of where Taylor was. One of Taylor's friends screamed as well at the sight of her scar and Andie closed her eyes tightly.
This could not be happening.
--
Chase turned around from his conversation with Blake at the sound of Taylor's hair raising scream. His eyes widened at the sight of Andie's glasses in her hand and how Taylor was pointing at Andie's face.
"No!" He just about yelled as he started to run toward the two girls.
He watched Andie stumble back and fall onto her rump. She scrambled back making it harder for Chase to get to her. Especially since everyone was starting to crowd around her to see what Taylor was screaming about.
Chase shoved a couple of people out of the way but most of the were packed so tightly around her that he couldn't move them. The lot of them all trying to view Andie's scar.
"What happened to her face?" A girl whispered.
"Was she born like that?" Someone else asked.
"Why are her eyes so white?" A boy asked.
"She's like the Hunchback of Notre Dame." Taylor squealed. "She's horrible looking!"
"Why is she here when it's clear that she can't see?" A girl asked.
"My uncle had eyes like that, he was blind."
"Are you blind?"
"She's blind!"
"Oh my god, she's blind!"
Chase could feel anger bubbling inside of him and when he saw over the top of Madison's head, the tears that started to slide down Andie's face, he almost lost it.
"MOVE!" He yelled shoving Madison and a small freshman.
People started to make a path for him and Chase started to push harder.
"Get out of the way!" He hollered.
When he was finally able to get to Andie, he knelt down and scooped her up bridal style. She fought him at first, not knowing who he was.
"Andie! It's okay! It's me!" He said frantically.
"Chase." She breathed.
As quick as she had been to fight him, Andie threw herself into his arms. Chase wrapped him arms around her waist and stood up.
"It's okay Andie." He said as he made for the studio doors. "I got you."
He felt Andie's hand tightened around his shoulders and he held her tighter. Stopping at the benches that were off to the side, Chase sat down with Andie in his lap.
"Andie." He said quietly. "Are you okay?"
--
Andie buried her face in Chase's chest, she couldn't believe that had just happened. Taylor had just outted her like that, the reaction was expected and Andie should have been use to it but it still hurt and she was shaking with both fear and anger.
"Andie?" Chase repeated her name.
Shaking her head furiously, Andie tilted her head up in his direction.
"I need Aydan." She whispered. "Where's my sister?"
As she waited for Chase to answer her, the bell above them rang. Andie gulped and buried her face back in Chase's chest.
"Let's go find Aydan," Chase said. "Do you want me to carry you?"
Shaking her head, Andie pulled from her pocket shakily, her silk blindfold and held it out to Chase.
"Please." She said softly.
--
Chase took the blindfold from Andie and wiped away her tears with his bare hand. Then very gently he placed the smooth cloth over her scar and eyes.
"You don't need to do this you know." He told her gently as he tied it firmly but gently.
Andie shrugged.
"Yea I do," She said gently. "After what I've just been through. I need to get ready for a lot of teasing."
Chase watched her lower her head sadly and some of the hair started to build a curtain around her face.
"I won't let them." Chase told her softly. "I won't let anyone say anything wrong to you."
"What will you do to stop them?" Andie asked. "You may be intimidating or whatever but still I've heard it all before so I'm pretty sure I know what they're thinking."
Chase sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Let's go to an early lunch." He said desperately. "Come on my treat."
He watched as Andie turned to face him, she gave him a sad smile before cupping his face in her hands.
"If we go to an early lunch they'll just wait til I get back to say something." She said. "Seriously Chase, you can't stop them."
Chase shrugged.
"Andie, I want to take you to lunch." He said. "Please come."
Andie sighed in a tired sort of way. She took out her phone and ran her fingers over the buttons for a moment, before texting a message to Aydan.
"Alright let's go." She said.
Chase smiled and pulled her to her feet, then he took her hand firmly in his before tugging on it gently and starting to pull her through the crowded hallways. He was extremely grateful that Andie could not see all the looks they were now getting. People were staring and pointed as if she was something in a circus.
"I'm going to end up hurting someone." Chase said through gritted teeth.
"They're staring aren't they?" Andie asked.
Chase nodded, forgetting Andie couldn't see him.
"This is all Taylor's fault." Chase muttered to himself. "Man I hate her."
"Hate is a very strong word Chase." Andie said softly. "You should never hate anyone."
Chase raised an eyebrow at the girl behind him.
"You can not tell me there is not someone you hate." He said.
"I never said their wasn't." Andie replied smirking. "I just said that it was a strong word and you shouldn't hate anyone. I never said that I myself don't hate some people."
Chase grinned as they stepped outside. He pulled her through the courtyard without stopping and soon they were in the parking lot.
"Where are we going for lunch?" Andie asked as Chase helped her climb into the passenger seat.
"You'll see."
--
When Aydan got the text from Andie, the first thing she did was nearly panic. Something must have happened to her in dance. Shane must have sensed her sudden tension because she placed her hand on Aydan's shoulder.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Something happened to Andie in dance." Aydan replied.
"How do you know?" Shane asked gently.
"Because she just sent me a text saying that Chase was taking her to an early lunch." Aydan replied.
Shane frowned as the two of them took a seat in their class.
"I'm not following."
"Andie would never leave in the middle of the day if something had not of happened." Aydan explained. "She may not like school but she wouldn't skip."
Just as Shane opened her mouth, Taylor came and stood in front of their desk. Aydan only knew who she was because Shane had told her the day before.
"What do you want Taylor?" Shane asked coldly.
"I'm not here for you lesbo." Taylor snapped. "I'm here to talk to Aydan."
"What can I do for you Taylor?" Aydan asked.
Taylor looked at her strangely for a moment.
"That's exactly what she said to me." Taylor finally said. "Wow I guess you guys really are twins."
"You know what happened to my sister?" Aydan asked.
"Oh yea, I know." Taylor said. "How come she didn't tell us before that she was blind?"
Aydan frowned in confusion.
"Why would she tell you?" She asked. "I know you're not one of her friends."
"Speaking of your dear twin." Taylor said completely ignoring Aydan's last statement. "Don't these belong to her?"
Aydan felt herself take a sharp breath when Taylor pulled out Andie's glasses from her bag.
"Where did you get those?" Aydan asked.
"I actually quite like them." Taylor said. "But I can see why Andie would want to cover up such a hideous scar."
Aydan's fists balled up at her side and Shane grabbed hold of her arm gently.
"Just let it go Dan." Shane muttered in her ear. "Taylor's just trying to get to you."
"I mean seriously, couldn't they had done some plastic surgery or something?" Taylor asked. "It would have helped the lower part of her face as well. Her face is just so ugly, with or without the scar."
Throwing herself across the table, Aydan caught Taylor around the neck with both hands. The girl screamed out in fright as the both of them fell to the floor. Shane yelled Aydan's name while the kids were all suddenly out of their seats and forming a circle around the two fighting girls.
Aydan sat on Taylor's stomach and squeezed her neck as hard as possible. The girl beneath her gasped and clawed at Aydan's hands but they weren't letting go.
"Dan! Dan come on let go!" A soft voice murmured in her ear. The persons lips tickling her ears.
Aydan felt arms wrap around her waist and she was pulled off of Taylor, but Shane had to uncurl her fingers from around the brown haired girls neck.
"You're a strong little cookie aren't you?"
Aydan didn't recognize this voice and when she turned around in his arms to se who it was she met a pair of bright blue eyes.
"Who are you?" Aydan asked wiggling from his grasp.
The guy laughed and pushed his long blond hair from his eyes.
"My name's Tony and you must be Aydan."
He stuck out his hand and Aydan shook his hand.
"Aydan West." A stern voice said.
"Yes Director Collins?" She asked tiredly.
"My office, now." He said. "You too Taylor,"
"But Director she--!" Taylor began.
"Now." Blake said cutting her off.
"See you later guys." Aydan muttered to Shane and Tony.
Taylor bumped shoulders with Aydan as they both started to follow Director Collins down the hallway.
"Taylor you've got one more time." Aydan growled.
"Or what?"
"Bitch I'll knock your fuc--"
"Language!" Director Collins yelled as he cut Aydan off before she could finish her sentence.
Taylor glared at the back Director Collins head before sneering at Aydan.
"Tell me Aydan, why do you have to fight your big sisters' battles?"
"Because you didn't fight fair." Aydan replied. "Now shut the hell up and don't ever talk to me again or I'll make sure that the next time I choke you, I snap your neck."
Whoot! Go Aydan lol. I love her more and more each chapter. She's so tough but at the same so soft spoken. And Taylor I know you guys want to kill her but I need her. I swear when I officially get done writing Step Up 2, you guys can have her. I'm not sure when that'll be but you can have her lol.
A/N-Next chapter we find out who the guy is that wants Andie.
Reviews keep my fingers typing chapters!
