Hopefully, it will be the last one for a while. Before we start, I must ask for you guy's opinion. When this story comes to a close, it was my original plan to create a sequel. I want to know what y'all think. Wrap it up and leave it, or continue on with the story as planned. Leave your comments in the review section, and let's get started once again with, We're Friends, Reluctantly.

I do not own Victorious, because if I did, it wouldn't have been cancelled.

Chapter 13

Robbie's POV

I was unable to get much sleep last night. I spent a lot of time tossing and turning, thinking about the advice my father gave me. As my alarm clock went off, an idea came to my head. There was one person who could help me. I rushed into the shower, and within thirty minutes, I was out the door.

When I arrived at school, I stood by my locker and waited. About five minutes later, I saw the person I needed to speak with.

"Beck, come over here for a second."

Beck nodded and walked over. Then, I grabbed his wrist and dragged him into the janitors closet.

"What's up, Robbie?"

"I need some advice, and you are the only one who can give it to me."

Beck took a deep breath, and he looked up. I saw that 'I know exactly what you are about to ask me' look in his eye.

"This is about Jade, isn't it?"

I just nodded my head, slightly amazed at my friend's knowledge and guessing. He ran his fingers through his hair and gave me another look. This time, his eyes said, 'you aren't going to like what I have to say'.

"Look Robbie, if you're going to ask me if you should ask Jade out, I'm going to have to say no, you shouldn't. I have dated Jade before, and it was probably the hardest years of my life. Sure, sometimes it was good. There were times that I have never been happier. At the same time, we always fought, about everything. She will get insanely jealous of every girl who is five feet away from you. I want you to be happy, and I just don't believe anyone can be happy dating Jade. I don't think you would be able to handle her crap. Don't get me wrong, Jade is a very special girl. She is just difficult."

I just stood there for a little while as I took in Beck's words. I'd be lying if I said I was exactly happy with his opinion. I was slightly crushed to be exact. At the same time, I saw where he was coming from. Anyone who was around at the time Beck and Jade were a couple could understand Beck's viewpoint. Finally, Beck's voice broke my concentration.

"You okay Robbie?"

"Yeah, just thinking about everything so far."

Beck gave me a sad look before he continued.

"You really think you could put up with Jade? I mean, our arguments would make you cry."

"Come on, that was like one time."

And that was when Rex piped up.

"Six times."

I rolled my eyes at the puppet before I continued.

"Shut up Rex. Point is, sure, Jade is almost imposed to deal with at times. Tell me though, am I, Robbie Shapiro, going to have to deal with her jealousy issues? I can hardly get a girl to give me the time of day, let alone flirt with me. Me and Jade go back quite a ways, and I am sure I could manage her. I'd do anything for her."

Now it was Beck's turn to sit in thought. The seconds passed and he remained silent. He took another deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair again, and spoke.

"Well, I think you should follow your heart. Being one of your best friends, I will support any choice that you make. I only said what I did earlier because I care about you and I don't want you to get hurt."

I gave him a smile and a bro hug. He returned the smile and left. As I exited the closet, I breathed a sigh of relief. My mind had been made up, and I am positive I had never been more sure of anything in my life.

Now all I had to do was find Jade.
