After Andre finished his movie about him and his five friends, he set about getting it published. He never really imagined anyone would make him a millionaire, he just fancied trying out his luck. He brought it to fourteen different producers until finally the fifteenth said yes. He struck it rich and bought an apartment. After a few months, and a lot of hints from him, Tori moved in. She brought touches of homeliness with her and Andre liked being looked after for once, after looking after his grandma for so long.
He went out to work and she sang at cafés and restaurants until she'd saved enough money (she wanted to make her own way in the world) to buy a time slot for casting directors and auditions to attend. It took a while, but after she showcased her talent, she was accepted into a tour as the opening act. A small step, but it didn't matter to her. Her career skidded to a halt when terrible rumours were spread about her. It tore her and Andre apart.
They rekindled their headlined romance in summer of 2018, after a year apart. He'd said he was stupid, childish and loved her. He said he didn't want to live without her. And the passion in his eyes – the passion saying that what was coming from his mouth was true – made her say yes to getting back together. She'd said she was sorry, and that the rumours – a sordid affair – weren't true but that she was too childish and silly for even prompting an immature journalist into writing such terrible things.
Magazine covers plastered their faces all over the news with headlines strewn all across the world, simply reading "Hollywood's hottest couple – back together?" They posed for magazines and newspapers and got a huge amount of money – though that was put away for a rainy day (when would Hollywood's hottest need that?). It wasn't long after that famous reconciliation that the newest news about the new Brangelina (without the kids, of course. Tori wouldn't want her good girl image ruined. She wasn't married yet, silly) was spread all over again.
They were getting married! They flashed smiles and held hands for "candid" paparazzi photos, posed for photo shoots and waved and hugged fans in the streets. Tori loved the attention, and lapped it up. Then they got married, and everything was documented just as much as the engagement and proposal.
Six months after their wedded bliss, though, Tori fell pregnant. (Fallen, really? He'd said.) He loved the fact that he was going to be a dad. He couldn't wait for him or her to see the home videos, the movie he made for high school; all the memories with Tori he shared. He knew that she or he would be loved just as much as he was in high school by the gang, just like Cat's baby, just like Jade's baby. Tori soon got fed up with all the media attention. She thought about her childhood, how she liked to ride her bike up to the stream and play in the water until it was dark and how she could just loll about in fields, playing with Trina to her hearts content. She remembered flicking through OK! Magazine and thinking to herself "that'll be me one day, Trina. You and me. Promise!" Then she remembered her cousin's face, the way she twitched her nose every time cameras were near her and how she looked and shivered when a stranger came near her. Not everyone loves attention. What if her baby hates it? Her child would be in constant fear if she or he didn't. She couldn't have that. So they packed their bags and moved – slowly, a couple of things at a time. They didn't tell anyone, bar the rest of their high school gang. Tori was heavily pregnant by this time, and couldn't wait for her baby to arrive. She knew that she was having a boy and she knew that they were naming him Logan.
When little Logan finally arrived, everyone was ready for him. Jade and Cat cooed over him, picking him up and telling her that he looked exactly like Tori, but looked as if he'd have Andre's laid back personality. They knew he'd be talented. They loved him so much, they couldn't believe it themselves. He was a little unexpected, and if they were honest they didn't want a baby. Tori was still the girl that loved attention but now she would give up anything for Logan – even fame. She still wished he'd like show business.
As time went by, Tori decided it was time to slowly bring herself back into the spotlight. She left now toddler Logan at home each time she went out, with Andre or Cat, and sometimes Jade babysat. She didn't want him in the spotlight. She didn't go out often at first; she wanted to slowly transition herself, Andre and her son. When she wanted to take him out, she made it discreet. It was like he never existed. He was still the centre of Tori and Andre's world; she just wasn't ready for him to be known in everyone else's world.
She started acting again and got lots of singing jobs. She was still the little girl that left Hollywood to the rest of the world. But she knew that she'd grown up now, and couldn't start being the centre of attention for magazines anymore. She had Logan to think of now. Andre stayed working throughout Logan's babyhood, but he spent huge amounts of time with his wife and son. At the baby's christening, he was so proud, looking up at his son, he had tears in his brown eyes – the same eyes he looked at when he looked at Logan.
As far as Tori and Andre were concerned, Logan was the only child they wanted. They were a family now and Tori wanted to keep working. So they agreed that their little family was complete, and that they were both happy. They even got a little Pomeranian puppy as another addition to the family.
Their story started with a swollen tongue and hidden talent. It just might end with a happier ending, but for now, the way they are is the way they want to stay.
A/N:
I find Tandre hard to write for. It's not that I don't ship them, I do. I just think that I never do them justice. Cabbie was very easy to write for and I hope Bade will be too but you never know. Review if you liked it :)
