Would You Go With Me?
Hey guys, since it's Friday I'll be up pretty late so you might get at least three chapters tonight, maybe more I don't know. In this chapter we're back at school on Monday. I couldn't think of anything for them to do over the weekend besides practice and besides I know you guys like fluff but I think we're through with chapters of total fluff for a while, sorry! Besides drama keeps things interesting and I'm sure we're going to find out more about Billy and he'll be back along with Taylor and her friends to cause trouble.
A/N-This one is named after Josh Turner's "Would You Go With Me?" He's a country singer and has a really deep voice. If you guys haven't noticed I listen to any and everything, lol.
Disclaimer-Don't own Step Up 2, if I did Rob Hoffman would be mine.
Monday morning Andie did eat breakfast. She had only eaten a handful of things over the weekend and that was only cause Sarah to hurt her if she didn't. So she sat down at breakfast and ate a stack of pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast along with a glass of orange juice just to make Sarah happy.
She heard Chase pull up and jumped out of her seat. They hadn't seen each other yesterday because Andie had to babysit Charlie. Needless to say she'd missed him.
"Bye Sarah, bye Charlie!" Andie called over her shoulder as she slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed for the door.
Chase was leaning against her side of the car when Andie got outside. His arms crossed over his chest and a smile on his face. When he saw her, he stood up straight and opened his arms wide. Andie smiled widely and leapt off the porch before running into his waiting arms. His arms wrapped around her waist as they hugged tightly and swayed from side to side slightly.
"Did you miss me?" He teased kissing her forehead.
"Yea, it was a very long day yesterday." Andie muttered.
Chase laughed and kissed her.
"Well come on we don't wanna be late for school." He said when they pulled apart.
"Okay." Andie pouted causing Chase to laugh again as he opened her door for her.
Andie climbed into the SUV and leaned back against the seat. Her stomach hurt from eating all that food. She didn't know how she could fool everyone else into thinking that she was eating but secretly losing weight.
She didn't get to crawl inside herself and try to develop a plan because the moment Chase got in the car he took her hand in his. Chase didn't like leaving Andie alone for a long time. She got this look on her face, this sad look that made your heart break. And Chase wanted her to always be happy, he never wanted to see her cry.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Uh huh, just a little tired." Andie replied. "Yesterday, Charlie and I went for icecream then we played no-stop in the park until the sun went down and Sarah called my phone wondering where we were."
"Busy day." Chase said, Andie nodded and closed her eyes.
"I never asked, how was dinner with your mom and dad?"
Chase shrugged. He wasn't going to tell her that his parents hadn't even met her yet and they disapproved of her. He told her about his wrestling match with Blake and Alex instead.
"See you always starting stuff." Andie laughed. "Same thing happen on Friday."
"What?" Chase asked.
"You started something with me and we ended up wrestling." Andie reminded him.
"No you started that." Chase protested.
"Nu uh, you asked when my birthday was and then you had to go and rub it in my face that you're older than me." Andie said smiling.
"Yea but you could have just ignored me." Chase tried.
"Like I could ignore something like that." Andie countered. "See, I'm right you always start it."
"No—I—Blake—Alex—they—damn it Andie!" Chase laughed. "Stuttering over my words again."
"Not my fault." Andie replied casually, she pulled at her long hair.
"Hey that's three days you're hairs been down." Chase commented. "I like it."
"Thanks, but trust me it'll be back up in the ponytail." Andie said pulling at her hair. "I can't do this leaving it down thing, it gets in the way too much for my liking."
"But I like it down." Chase said in a slightly whiny voice and Andie tried her hardest not to laugh.
At school they met the crew at their table. Andie had been slightly surprised when Moose stood and hugged her. They still had thirty minutes to go so Andie and Chase sat down, Chase inbetween Cable and Monster and Andie inbetween Moose and Fly. Andie and Sophie shared a smile, they both pretended not to see the happy look on Moose's face at the fact that they were getting along.
"So Andie are there anything other competitions we could compete in before the next streets?" Fly asked.
"I'm not really sure." Andie shrugged. "I'll have to ask Missy."
"Blake wants us to perform something at the final showcase in May." Chase said.
"You didn't tell them?" Andie asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"I forgot," Chase muttered scratching the back of his head.
"Yea but that's like in a million years." Moose said. "I think we should do something before that."
"There's always the dragon." Andie said. "They'd be happy to have us come and perform now."
"We should." Smiles said nodding.
"I think it'll help get us ready for the bigger things we do." Cable said.
"Alright, we'll go to the dragon." Chase said. "But when?"
"Well, it's open every night but the biggest crowds come on the weekends." Andie answered.
"This Friday, then." Jenny said. "We go this Friday."
"Okay Friday it is." Andie said nodding.
"You think you're pretty tight now don't you?" A voice behind Andie and Moose asked.
They all looked to see Billy leaning up against the wall next to the door that lead into the school. Andie groaned, why the hell was he choosing to do this now? It was too early in the morning to be messing with her or any of her friends.
"Billy what are doing over here?" Sophie asked.
"I came to have a little chat with your boyfriend." Billy replied. "If he's not too scared to talk to me."
"So get to talking." Andie said.
Billy moved away from the wall and headed toward the table. Fists balled up and his eyes glaring at Andie. Chase and Moose were on their feet the moment he moved. Smiles, Cable, and Monster soon followed
"If I was you," Billy growled. "I'd shut up before I have to hurt you."
Andie stood, she turned to face Billy.
"And if you were me," She smirked. "I'd be ugly."
Billy was suddenly in front of Andie, she didn't back up but it wasn't like she had anywhere to go. He'd trapped her between the table and himself, Andie's fists balled up at her side. It was too early in the morning for this and she would not hesitate to flip out on this Rockstar boy.
But before she could even open her mouth to say anything someone slid themselves inbetween her and Billy. A very tall person who blocked Andie's view of the boy who she was about put a world of hurt on. It took Andie a moment to release that Chase had put himself between them. Andie peeked around him to see that he and Billy were glaring at each other.
"If I were you I'd back up off my girl before I hurt you." Chase said so calmly it was scary.
Andie's eyes darted from Chase to Billy. If Billy hit Chase it was on. Andie had been aching to whoop someone's ass here of lately and why not him? Sure she'd get suspended but it'd be well worth it.
"All I wanna do is have a talk with him—." He pointed to Moose. "I want to find out how low Sophie has sunken when it comes to the boys she dates."
"Billy shut up!" Sophie yelled.
The boy looked stunned for a moment but all too soon he recovered and opened his mouth to say something back but a sharp voice cut him off.
"Billy!"
'Very nice timing Blake.' Andie thought as she looked around both Chase and Billy to see Blake heading toward them.
"Yes Director Collins?" Billy asked through clenched teeth.
"Shouldn't you be headed toward detention?" Blake asked.
"Yes," Billy answered.
"Then what are you standing here for?" Blake asked. "Go on Mr. Hooper is waiting for you."
Billy balled up his fists and glared at Chase, Andie, and Moose before turning and heading inside the school.
"You alright?" Blake asked Chase almost instantly.
"Yea, I'm okay." Chase turned to Andie. "Are you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" Andie slightly confused. "He doesn't scare me."
"Yea we can tell." Sophie said, Andie shrugged.
"I wish he would've hit me. I will not hesitate to beat the shit out someone." She smiled at Blake who was going to scold her for her language but decided to just let it go.
"Alright you guys, let's start heading to class."
Andie turned to pick up her back but stopped short when she noticed that Moose had not moved. She frowned and looked over his shoulder to see what exactly he was staring at. Billy, he had not gone in like Blake had told him to. Instead he stood at the door, sending a death glare Moose's way. Andie looked up at Moose to see him glaring right back.
"Billy, get inside!" Blake yelled.
Billy did as he was this time, he disappeared inside the school. But not before glaring at Moose with such hate that Andie was surprised a hole wasn't burnt into Moose's eyes.
"Come on Moose, let's go." Sophie said grabbing his hand. "We'll see you guys at lunch." She added to the crew.
"Come on Andie." Chase grabbed her hand and led her toward the doors of the school.
For the first time Andie wasn't looking forward to going to English. It meant that she would have to endure forty five minutes of Taylor laughing at her and staring at her. Andie didn't want to make a big scene because she knew that Taylor was right. She was fat, horribly fat and she had to do something about it or Chase would dump her for someone prettier and who wasn't fat.
"Okay, now you'd better come out of this class happy." Chase said.
"I'll do my best." Andie nodded smiling.
Chase smiled down at her before kissing her. Andie felt rest his hands on her waist and she rested her hands on his shoulders. Chase bit her bottom lips gently and Andie took that as a sign he wanted her to open her mouth. However she decided to tease him and refused to do so.
"Andie," Chase muttered against her lips. "Teasing isn't fair."
"Yes it is." Andie replied pulling away and smiling up at him. "You tease me all the time."
Before Chase could reply Andie kissed him again.
"PDA you two."
"Blake I'm going to hurt you." Chase said pulling away from Andie. "Tonight when we get home you'd better watch out cause I'm going to kill you."
"How you going to get to me?" Blake asked. "You know I don't stay in my room anymore, I stay in the pool house outback."
"So?" Chase and Andie asked together.
"So that door has a lock." Blake said simply.
"You act like I don't know how to pick locks." Chase said.
"You wouldn't dare." Blake challenged.
"Try me." Chase said.
Andie laughed and stepped between the two brothers.
"Okay you two that's enough." She began to push Chase toward his class. "You go to class." While pushing Chase, Andie looked back at Blake. "And you go grade papers or something."
"Yea, listen to the girl." Chase said. "Go grade some papers."
The two teenagers laughed when Blake flipped them off before heading down the hall.
"Hey Andie." A voice called from down the hall.
Chase and Andie both turned to see Taylor standing at the end of the hallway.
"What?" Andie called back.
"You gotta come see this. In the computer lab" Taylor said. "Not you Chase just Andie."
Chase turned Andie to face him and so that her back was to Taylor.
"Andie don't go with her." He whispered.
"Chase," Andie started but Chase shook his head.
"I'm telling you Andie, you can't trust her."
"I know, so that's why I need to at least talk to the girl so we can figure out how to be able to stay in the same school without wanting to kill each other." Andie explained. "And come on you know I can take care of myself."
"I know you can but, what if she has Candace waiting in the computer lab to beat you up?" Andie laughed.
"Then how about you wait outside the door for me?"
Chase looked skeptical at first but nodded.
"Come on." Grabbing his hand Andie began to pull him down the hallway toward Taylor.
"I said just you not Chase too, no offence Chase." Taylor smiled at Chase who did not return it.
"I'm going to wait at the door for my girlfriend." He said quietly. But his tone left no room for arguments.
"Okay, it's totally cool if you do that." Taylor motioned for Andie to follow her into the computer lab.
Chase's entire fan club was gathered around one computer, all of them staring and laughing at something that Andie couldn't see.
"Guys move out of the way." Taylor said.
The girls did as they were told and Andie wished they hadn't of.
On the computer screen was a picture of Andie. But, her body bubbled and jiggled on the screen. The girls of Chase's fan club covered their mouths as they laughed and Andie got closer. She bent so she was eye level with the computer. Tears welled in her eyes as she watched her body bubble and jiggle all over the place. Under the moving pictures the was a sign.
"Time for someone tell this "Street Girl" that's she's as fat as they come."
Andie stood, tears tracked down her cheeks. Spinning on her heels she came face to face with Taylor who was smirking at her.
"I do something about my fat if I were you." Taylor said. "Because Chase will dump you for someone who can walk without having everything jiggle and someone who can actually dance."
Andie pushed past Taylor and ran for the door, she could hear the girls laughing. She had forgotten that Chase was waiting for her outside the door. She burst out of the room and ran straight into him. He caught her in his arms and they met eyes, his widened at the sight of hers leaking tears.
"Andie what happen?" He asked. "What's wrong?"
Andie shook her head and twisted her arms out of his grip. Once she was free Andie took off running down the hall.
"Andie!" Chase yelled running after her. But either Andie was too far ahead of him or faster than him because he couldn't catch up. Chase thought it was the second one,
"Andie!"
She stopped suddenly and darted into a room. Chase ran up to the door and growled in frustration. She'd gone into the girls bathrooms. They had cameras in there and Chase would be expelled if he went in there.
Chase hit the door with his fists. Not hard but loud enough for Andie to hear.
"Andie come out of there."
She didn't answer.
"Andie tell me what's wrong. What the hell happen in there?"
Still no answering. Spinning on his heels Chase ran all the back down the hall to the computer lab. Taylor and her friends were leaving the computer lab, each one of them laughing and giggling.
"What did you say to her?" Chase asked.
"Say to who?" Taylor asked innocently.
"You damn well who, what did you say to Andie?" Chase growled.
"Nothing." Taylor said.
"Then why the hell did she just run into the girls bathroom crying?" Chase asked.
"No idea."
Chase gave a frustrated yell before running down the hall. He had to find Moose and call Missy.
"So Andie West is in the bathroom crying her eyes out." Taylor said thoughtfully. "Come on girls let's go pay dear Andie a visit."
The minute Andie was in the safety of the bathroom, she kicked the wall. She kicked it again and again until her toe felt as if she'd broken it. Then she leaned against the wall and tried very hard to calm herself down. Andie scolded herself for letting Chase see her cry. He wasn't suppose to, but she'd forgotten he was waiting for her.
Andie was just getting ready to leave when she could suddenly hear voices. Girls, laughing about something. Panicking, Andie ran into a stall and shut the door. She climbed up on the toilet and sat on her heels so they couldn't see her. But she didn't realize that they could see her shadow from the light above her head.
Taylor was the first one to speak. She had made sure though that Andie was in the bathroom. She could see her shadow in one of the stalls, smiling to herself, Taylor turned to her friends and sat on the sink.
"Oh my god, have you seen how fat Andie's getting?"
Her friends chuckled.
"I know, it's like before she got expelled she was super skinny but now she's nearly as big as a house." Brittney said.
"Her busy hair is like Canada and her ass is like the size of Europe." Catherine added laughing. The other girls joined in and Andie felt more tears slid down her cheeks.
"I mean what does Chase see in her really?" Madison asked.
"Maybe she's just a play toy." Lindsey suggested.
"Or maybe he likes the fact that she should be pretty easy to get into bed." Candace said.
"Yea I heard that before she came here she was out till all sorts of hours at night with so many different guys." Taylor laughed, she looked at Andie's shadow as she said this.
"Don't forget she hangs out with the nerds of the school." Courtney said quietly.
"Exactly so what does that tell you about her?" Taylor asked.
Andie heard Taylor hop down from the sink.
"Let's go, class is nearly over and I've got a test next period."
Andie didn't let a sob escape her body until she was sure that they were all gone. But once they were she curled up in a corner of the bathroom, and cried.
Whew! Wow, we got a lot going on don't we? Man can you believe Taylor? I sure can't and I'm the one who's writing this. I think I'm going to bed now though cause it's nearing one in the morning here and I have to baby sit bad children tomorrow so I hope you guys liked the chapter.
A/N-Missy should be here in about two chapters!
