Not Over

A/N-This was supposed to come out yesterday but time got away from me so I'm sorry guys and that's the reason the little dark stuff is talking about what I did yesterday. Hey guys! Happy April's Fools Day lol! Um let's see what did I do today? Um went to school and it was kinda fun cause the kids cut off the power as an April Fools joke but then they couldn't get back on so we were in the dark for about an hour and we got to do whatever we wanted cause the teachers were pissed. Um and someone I've got NO idea who lol set off a stink bomb and we got let out early for that so it's been a really good day lol. OH and I got the Sweeney Todd DVD today so as soon as I'm done with this chapter I'm going to watch that and all the extra stuff!

Okay in this chapter Andie will talk to the counselor and they're going to talk about why she became Bulimic and all that good stuff. Um I'm not sure what else is going to happen but don't worry whatever it is it'll be interesting I promise you. Oh Blake and Brandy will get to talk again, not sure about what but I like Brandy so she'll be in the story a lot now.

A/N-This one is named after Daughtry's "Not Over".

Disclaimer-Don't own Step Up 2, if I did I'd own Rob Hoffman.

On Monday morning Andie headed from her room to the counseling office. She'd not gone by herself though. Doctor Smith had taken her down there, he said that patients weren't supposed to walk around by themselves. Andie guessed he just wanted to make sure she actually went to the counseling office and didn't sneak out of the hospital. She'd not been able to keep her breakfast down but Andie had tried and she'd had a good battle with herself and nearly won.

Her counselor's name was Lydia Johnson and Andie knew just by looking at her that it was going to be a very long week. Lydia was tall for a woman about five feet ten inches. She had long brown hair that looked as if it was in a ponytail permanently. She was pretty but too professional looking, she looked as if she was well overdo for a vacation or break. But they had promised Andie that the counseling sessions wouldn't be long and if they were she'd still be out of them by the time Chase came around. He'd been to see her every day and stayed until Blake came by to make him leave.

"Hello Andie." Lydia said sitting across from her.

They were in a small office. Andie had taken the couch because from the movies she'd seen the patients always laid down on the couches while the counselor sat in a big chair and asked questions.

"Hi."

She watched Lydia study her for a moment and Andie instantly began to try and cover skinniness with her arms. So far Chase and Moose were the only two who didn't look over her body when they first came to talk to her. Sarah tried not to but Andie understood that it was hard for her. And Tyler hadn't either, but Andie knew that he'd been disappointed because she let the jealous girls get to her. And that's why Andie was going to get better, because she wanted to make Tyler and her mother proud.

"So you do you know why you're here don't you?" Lydia asked.

"I'm here because I have Bulimia." Andie said in a bored tone lying down on the sofa.

"Would you like to tell me why you have Bulimia?" Lydia asked.

"Not really." Andie replied. "But it's the only way I'm getting out of here huh?"

Lydia nodded.

"Fine, I have Bulimia because of a girl in my school." Andie said. "One day after class she told me that I was fat. Well not literally but she told me so and I believed her."

"What do you mean not literally?" Lydia asked.

Andie glared at her before rolling her eyes.

"She asked me if I knew that Chase didn't like fat girls."

"Who's Chase?"

Andie shot her counselor a look.

"Chase is—my—my ex boyfriend."

Andie paused for a second. Lydia had no idea how much that hurt her to say. She'd told Tyler he was her boyfriend and it'd felt so right that telling someone that he was her ex was hard.

"Continue." Lydia said writing something down on her clipboard.

"Right, um so she told me that and I started to believe that I was fat and Chase was going to dump me for someone better—."

"But I thought you said Chase was your ex." Lydia said calmly.

"Okay listen here lady." Andie said sitting up. "Let me tell the entire story before you get to asking questions. Okay?"

When Lydia nodded Andie laid back down on the couch and went back to her story.

"Okay now where was I? Oh so I started believing Chase was going to leave me. Stupid I know but still. So I started um what is it called—purging! That's what it called, I started purging everything I ate and I was getting skinnier and skinnier. But I was um fading away from everyone else. So Chase confronted me about it and we argued and broke up. Then I went overboard. I wouldn't talk to anyone and when I ate, I ate big meals in one sitting so that it would seem like I was still eating but as soon as I was done I went into the bathroom and threw it all up. Then Moose—he's my best friend—had me meet him at MSA one Saturday. I went and he asked me why I kept lying to him. Well I knew right then and there that I was caught, but I didn't know that he'd brought Chase and Missy—my other best friend—to MSA as well. I freaked out on them, they tried to calm me down but it didn't work and I passed out. That's why I'm here talking to you today, now are we done?"

Andie looked over to see Lydia staring at her with wide eyes.

"What?"

"You know exactly why you're here." Lydia said quietly.

"I told you that." Andie said. "And the only reason I'm doing this right now is because it's the only way I can get out of this stupid hospital."

Andie huffed as she watched Lydia write something down on her paper. There was no need for her to have to talk to her. She knew why she was in the hospital and she knew that she had to get better, so what was the point?

"I think we're through here today." Lydia said.

Andie smiled and hopped off the couch. After bidding her counselor goodbye Andie hurried out of the room. She didn't know why she was in such a hurry to go nowhere. It wasn't like there was anything special about her room, well except for the fact that she could be left alone to her thoughts in there.

Chase was not having a good day. Instead of staying in the office across from Blake's like he should have, Chase decided that he was going to go to class today. Big mistake. The staring he could deal with, but the whispering was getting to him. Everyone was whispering behind their hands and pointing at him as he walked by.

"Hey man just ignore it." Moose said as he and Sophie walked with him.

"I've been trying to, but it's kinda hard." Chase muttered.

He glanced down at Moose and Sophie's joined hand and momentarily thought about Andie. He wondered what she was doing at the moment and if she was thinking about him.

'Not likely.' The voice in his head said. 'Cause you see you're the one that dumped her.'

Chase ignored it. He knew he dumped Andie and it was the biggest mistake he'd ever made. He made her go over board and end up in the hospital. Not to mention that he'd broken his heart along with hers.

"Hey guys, I'ma go see if Blake will let me stay in his office." Chase said to Sophie and Moose.

"Okay but we'll see you at lunch right?" Sophie asked.

"At lunch." Chase nodded.

Blake wasn't sure if he was having a good day or not. He couldn't keep focus on any one thing for longer than five minutes. This was the same thing that happened to him all the way back in freshman year. Back when he first met Brandy.

"Someone's falling in love again."

Blake's head snapped up and he glared at his little brother. Chase was leaning in the doorframe with a smirk on his face. He looked like he was ten years old again, leaning in Blake's bedroom door and teasing him while he was on the phone with Brandy.

"Is there something you want?" Blake asked.

Chase's smile slid from his face. He came and sat in the chair opposite Blake's and Blake put down his pen, waiting for his little brother to speak.

"I've been thinking about asking Andie back out." Chase said quietly.

"And staying with her?" Blake asked. "Until death do you part?"

Chase smiled.

"That'd be nice." He muttered.

Blake laughed and shook his head.

"So what are you waiting for?"

Chase shrugged.

"She doesn't trust me anymore."

"What do you mean?" Blake asked confused. "Last I heard she only keeps food down when you're there."

"Who—?"

"Sarah told me." Blake said.

"She doesn't trust me in the sense of going back out with me." Chase said. "She doesn't trust me to let me get close to her."

"You know why." Blake said quietly. "Give her some time and don't let her push you away. Before you know it you'll be back together."

"You really think so?" Chase asked hopefully.

"I do." Blake nodded smiling.

Chase smiled as well but didn't stand to leave.

"Is there anything else I do for you little brother?"

"Yea, um can I stay in the office?" Chase asked.

"Kids still talking about the video?" Blake asked.

"Yep." Chase nodded.

"Then yes you can stay in the office." Blake said. "And what do you say to lunch today outside of school?"

"You and me?" Chase asked.

"And Alex." Blake said. "It's been a while since I've taken you guys somewhere."

"How long will we be gone?" Chase asked.

"For the rest of the day." Blake said. "But don't worry I'll get you to the hospital on time."

"I'm in." Chase said standing and heading over to the office.

"Alright." Blake said nodding.

Chase took out his phone and quickly sent Moose a text telling him where he was going. Then he sat down at the desk and laid his head down, besides he hadn't got much sleep last night. Him or Alex because their parents had been arguing about the fight that Alex got in at school. Their dad didn't see anything wrong with it but their mom did and so around midnight when they could still be heard arguing through the house, Chase and Alex had gone out to the pool house to stay with Blake.

By lunch time Andie was ready to try and eat again. She wanted to keep it down, she wanted to be able to tell Chase that she'd not been able to keep breakfast down but she kept lunch down. And so when the nurses brought in a turkey sandwich, chips and pudding, Andie ate slowly and focused on the task at hand.

She was glad that the nurses didn't stay with her as she ate. They left her alone and let her watch TV. She didn't mind her friends watching her but people she didn't know made her stomach nervous for some reason.

"I'm getting out of here." Andie muttered to herself with determination.

When Blake came into the office to get Chase he found him asleep with his head on the desk. Blake couldn't blame him. There parents could get pretty loud when they were arguing.

"Chase." Blake said shaking his shoulder. "Come on Chase let's go get Alex and go to lunch."

"I'm up." Chase muttered sitting up with his eyes still closed.

Blake watched in amusement as Chase's head fell back onto the desk with a loud bang.

"Damnit!" Chase yelled sitting up and holding his forehead.

"If you have a bruise I promise not to laugh." Blake said smirking as his little brother glared at him.

"You coulda caught my head."

"Coulda." Blake nodded. "But didn't want to."

Chase muttered darkly under his breathe about how much damage a backpack could do to his older brother's head as he followed him out of the office.

On the ride to Alex's school Chase teased Blake about Brandy being back and it wasn't until he threatened to make him walk back to MSA did Chase stop.

"I'm going to go get Alex." Blake said when they pulled up in front of his middle school. "You stay here."

"But I wanna come." Chase argued.

"Chase, stay." Blake ordered.

"Hey I ain't no dog." Chase called after Blake as he walked up to the school.

Chase put his feet up as he waited for Blake to come back. His mind wondered back to Andie, she'd be eating or trying to eat lunch right now. Chase should be there with her, helping her to keep her food in her stomach. Although since he'd gone and got her fries nearly a week ago she'd been doing a lot better. It was breakfast and lunch she had the problem with.

Chase nearly jumped out of his skin when the back door to Blake's SUV opened.

"Hi Chase!" Alex said happily.

"Hey what's up dude?" Chase asked knocking fists with him.

"Been in detention all morning." Alex shrugged.

"And how did that go?" Blake asked climbing into the car.

"It was all right I mean I was the only one in there so there was no one to talk to." Alex said. "So where are we going?"

"To lunch." Blake replied.

"And?" Both Chase and Alex said.

"What do you mean and?" Blake asked.

"Blake you never take us just to lunch." Chase said.

"We always go somewhere after." Alex said.

Blake rolled his eyes as he pulled away from the curb.

"You'll see."

Andie was very proud of herself by the time the nurses took away her lunch tray. She's eaten it all and so far she'd not thrown it up. But it was still too early to tell,

"I'm gonna go to sleep." She told her nurse. "That should help keep it down."

"Okay dearie, if you're still sleep when it comes time for your boyfriend to come around do you want me to wake you?"

Andie nodded. She wanted to be awake when Chase got there because if she wasn't he'd let her sleep and she wanted to tell him first thing what she'd done at lunch. She wanted him to be proud of her.

"Okay Blake seriously where are you taking us?" Chase asked as they turned down a street that strangely he'd never been on before.

"Would you two stop asking questions and just enjoy the freaking ride?" Blake asked.

Chase and Alex huffed before sliding down into their seats.

"See we're here." Blake said pulling into a parking lot.

"And what is this place?" Alex asked looking at the building.

Chase looked out his window and frowned, it was an art museum.

"Blake does this have anything to do with a certain girl?" Chase asked as the three of them climbed out of the car.

"Maybe." Blake muttered.

"Blake's a new girlfriend?" Alex asked in awe. "How come I wasn't told about this?"

"Cause she's not new exactly." Chase said smirking.

Alex's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to say something but a voice behind them interrupted him.

"Blake!"

"Brandy!" Alex yelled.

He raced over to her and jumped into her arms. Brandy laughed and twirled his legs around. Chase smiled at Blake who rolled his eyes. Alex adored Brandy and she adored him. Alex had not spoken to Blake for nearly three months after he broke up with Brandy.

"So we're spending lunch with you?" Alex asked.

"Yea I asked Blake to bring you guys down here cause I think you'll enjoy it." Brandy said.

"What are we going to do?" Chase asked.

"First we're going to have lunch but after that I want to show you guys some of the art in the building." Brandy said leading them inside.

"So Brandy where have you been?" Alex asked.

"Oh here and there." Brandy waved her hand. "But I found I miss Baltimore too much to stay away."

Chase sent Blake a look and Blake hit him in the back of his head.

"Ouch Blake!" Chase yelled rubbing the back of his head.

"Blake, stop hitting him." Brandy said smiling.

Brandy winked at Chase who smiled and Blake rolled his eyes. It was like he was seventeen again.

Andie was awake when Chase came into her room. She smiled at him and he returned it. He had just sat down when instantly started talking,

"Guess what?" She asked excitedly.

"What?" Chase asked.

"I kept my lunch down!" Andie said smiling widely.

"Oh that's great Andie!" Chase said smiling.

Andie nodded and Chase couldn't help but laugh. She looked like a child who'd just told their parents that they'd gotten an A on something in school. Chase took hold of her hand and Andie stared down at it for a moment before looking him back in the eye.

"I'm really proud of you Andie." Chase said standing and kissing her forehead.

"Thanks!" Andie said happily. "Hey Chase will you do me a favor?"

Chase laughed.

"French fries?"

Andie nodded eagerly.

"Will you go get me some please?"

Chase pretended to think before sighing dramatically.

"I'll go get you some."

"Thank you!" Andie said sending him her most charming smile.

Chase felt his stomach knot and he nodded. Andie had no idea what she was doing to him but Chase didn't know how long he could keep his feelings hidden from her. And as he headed out of the hospital to get Andie some French fries he argued with himself on whether or not that was a bad thing.
