Rain: And here I am with the next chapter of Hate Love, my little dip into the Victorious universe. Um, I originally said this would be a two-shot but well…I got struck with more ideas um so...Maybe this will be a three shot? While I ponder this, let's start the show!

Andre: Let's start the show!


Hate Love
Chapter Two

It's been a month and two weeks since Jade and I kissed.

A month and two weeks since the taste of strawberries remained in my mouth.

A month and two weeks since her body was pressed against mine.

And I am losing my mind.

Y'know, I never crushed on a girl before this place.

Sure I found them attractive and maybe wanted to date one or two or even wanted to have sex with some of them but I never crushed for one so all I really had had was boyfriends. Some sucked, some were awesome and some were decent but from the minute I got to Hollywood Arts, she caught my attention.

Her eyes, her hair, her face, her body, her attitude.

I felt heat in my face and between my legs but she had a jealous streak a mile high and she made me pay for it every day since I stage kissed Beck. Even after they broke up the first time she didn't let up but there were moments where her aggression for me died away, revealing who she truly was.

And that's when I slowly began to fall for her.

But I wasn't stupid.

There was no way in hell she could ever like me so I played the field, dated on and off but Jade was still on my mind. Even a hint of her visage caused my heartbeat to quicken.

But it was after that night…The one night where we kissed…As she looked at me with her smoldering blue eyes, her raven hair falling cascading down her pale shoulders and neck, I felt this my soul blazing out of all control with this lustful inferno.

I wanted her…I needed her. I wanted to make her mine and mine along.

And then she asked me to kiss her…And for a moment, I lost control of the hunger that been building from the moment I laid eyes on her so long ago.

I craved her and I could see it in her eyes that she wanted me. That she needed me to quench the flames that were building between her legs and within her heart. That she wanted to trust me and love me as much as I felt in my heart.

But I couldn't do it.

I didn't want to take advantage of her like that. She deserved more than just a passionate one night stand. I wanted to give her everything and more.

So I didn't and after that, everything went back to normal between us, only I and later Andre knew about that night and I wanted to keep it that way. I didn't care that I would be suffering with the knowledge of our forbidden kiss.

I would bear that burden.

Besides, even if, on the slim chance she did somewhat like me, I want to be able to show her that I am worthy of her love while she was sober because I know that love has been a sore point with her but maybe…Just maybe…She'll let me show her that it isn't a bad thing to fall in love with me…

Man…I really hope she's doing okay…


Victoria Vega.

The bane of my existence.

The person I hate and the person I love.

Boy do I know how to choose them!

What made her fall in love with my like this anyways?

That song was like she had this slavish devotion to me…And admittedly, I liked it. Even if I didn't realize that I love her, I would have enjoyed knowing I had so much power over her.

But now, I need help figuring out what to do. Do I just ignore it? Do I make a total scene and just make out with her right then and there? God, I bet her moans are heavenly….Shit, I shouldn't have thought that.

Reign in those dirty thoughts Jade, we need to think of something…I mean, I reciprocate her feelings and she deserves to know and it's not like it'll hurt anyone. I mean, I'm sure people would be butt hurt that the hottest girls in school are dating each other but…I'm getting ahead of myself.

I mean she went out with that Steven Carson dick before she and Carly shut that shit down…

Could that have just been a cover?

She didn't look too broken up when it happened…

No! I need to force this hope shit down. Even if she loves me and I love her back, she may not want to be with me.

I don't know if she's a full on lesbian or bisexual or whatever but she may like being in the closet and may want to firmly stay in there and not have anything to do with me….But if that was the case, she wouldn't have told Andre…

Andre…

Her best friend and admittedly, my second best friend after Beck.

I smirked and quickly grabbed my phone.

I just got the perfect idea!


"Damn it! Tell me Tell me why did I have to fall in love with her of all people Andre. Why her?"

I looked over at Tori's disheartened frown and felt myself frown as well. Tori had just left the Black Box due to needing to use the bathroom and when she came back, she looked miserable.

She must have saw Jade.

Damn, it's rough watching my home girl hurting like this.

To fall in love with someone that hates you is brutal and I kind of understand how she feels.

"A-Andre…W-Why did you kiss me?"

"Why did you return it?"

U-Um…Stop thinking about that brain! Not now!

"I get how you feel," I admitted with a frown. "To like someone you know won't give you the time of day but…Sometimes, your heart wants what it wants…"

"Hey Andre, Steven and Tori just…Whoa…"

"H-Hey Robbie!"

"Um…Where you two just-"

"Like when my grandma wants those salty chocolate chip cookies from Cookies and Dip. Once she wants that, nothing can stop her. Seriously, she's like a damn bulldozer with her arms with the way she clotheslines me sometimes" I joked with a smile, which made Tori giggle slightly.

Hey, a smile.

Perfect.

When those appear, It's easy to see the resemblance between her and…

A coy smile appeared on Trina's face as she leaned her head back against the wall as I leaned above her, our pants overlapping one another before she leaned up and said "Looks like you couldn't resist me after all..."

No! Not right now. Tori is the focus, not me.

Keep your thoughts on her away!

"Now, take it easy and relax. All will be well," I told her sincerely. "Besides, you never know. She may like you too."

"Fat chance," Tori said with a grumble. "All she sees in me is either a rival or a frenemy. She'll never see me as more…Besides, she's still in love with Beck. I doubt that will ever change. I wish I had never k-"

"Oh oh oh - I just want to see you smile,
Oh oh oh - If only for a little while!"

I blinked as my ringtone began to play and pulled my phone from out of my pocket.

"Oh oh oh - Let the music put you in a trance,
Oh oh oh - Come on and pump and do the Jamaican dance!"

"Yo, this Burger King, what's your beef?" I asked.

"Hey Andre, it's me Jade…" Jade's voice said.

"Jade?" I asked out loud, which caused Tori's head to snap up. "What's up my favorite goth girl?"

"I'm the only goth girl you know," Jade replied with a snarky tone.

"True. So what's up?" I asked.

"Can you meet me at the D&J Burger Joint in ten minutes…Alone?" Jade asked.

"Sure, just keep those scissors holstered," I warned jokingly, which caused a small chuckle to leave Jade's lips.

"Yeah, yeah. Late," Jade said.

"Late," I replied before I hung up.

"What did she want?" Tori asked.

"She wanted to meet at the D&J burger joint downtown alone. No idea why though," I replied.

"Okay…I'm going to keep practicing here," Tori said with a small smile.

"Alright girl," I told her before I leaned over and gave my love-struck friend a hug before I walked out of the Black Box but as I got to the exit, I bumped into Trina, which sent her on the ground.

Damn...Why here? Why now?

"Damn, Trina, I'm sorry about that," I said as I held out a hand to help her up. She took the hand and with a pull, I got her to her feet but she stumbled forward and fell into my arms.

It took all of my will power to not embrace her.

"Silly me, clumsy as hell," Trina with a bright smile as she looked at me but all I could see was-

"Make me remember your name."

Damn...Focus. You gotta get the Jade.

"And I'm sure you are. Bumping into a cute girl like me was surely on accident," Trina told me as she slapped my chest lightly.

I couldn't help but blush at her words but I bite back the stammer that wanted to fly free and replied with "If I wanted to find a way to touch you, I wouldn't use bumping into you as that way."

"Oh? And what way would you choose?" Trina asked with a flirty tone. "I'm open to suggestions…"

Oh no…Why did I open my big mouth.

She let a teasing smirk appear on her face. Oh no, did she see my blush? She suddenly placed a hand on my cheek and said "A blush? For moi? Well I'm flattered Andrew."

Damn it Trina…It's…Never mind. I'm so used to her calling me that that at this point, I might as well change my name to that.

"Well who wouldn't blush when a stunning girl says something like that?" I asked her before I blinked in surprise and horror. I wasn't trying to say that...

Damn it!

Trina seemed shocked by my admission as well and was there a blush on her face? "Well look at that…You're finally not blind to me. And here I was worried I scared you off."

"I haven't been blind," I responded. "I've been…busy…"

"Busy? Seems like you're ducking me dreadlocks," Trina said as she took a dread in between her fingers, a coy smirk on her face. "And here I thought you couldn't get enough of these luscious lips."

"Trust me…It's all I've been thinking about," I admitted. "B-But I've been busy with helping Tori with her project for the concert."

"I know, Just try not to keep me waiting forever Andre cause I won't wait that long," Trina said before she began to walk away but without thinking, I grabbed her forearm and turned her around to face me only to give her a hard kiss on the lips, something she instantly returned, her body melding into mine briefly then pulled away slowly.

Trina took a step back, while I did as well and muttered "Later?"

"Later," she replied as she licked her lips and took another step back, only to realize there wasn't a step but she quickly stopped herself from tumbling. "Later," she repeated.

I nodded and quickly rushed out of the Black Box's exit.

Yeah…I think I somewhat understand what you're going through Tori…And hopefully, I can get Jade to see the light as well.


"So…How long has Tori been in love with me?"

I never asked God if it was possible to choke on a milkshake but I have a feeling I'm about to find out after she bombarded me with that question.

How the hell did she find out?!

"From the intense coughing, you're surprised that I found out," Jade stated with a pleased look on her face.

"H-How did you figure it out, read my mind?" I asked her after a coughing fit.

"We've been friends for years Andre," she said with a smirk. "You know I can read your mind."

NOT. AMUSED.

"Okay, okay, real answer? It's so obvious. How she always wanted to be my friend. To how she always came whenever I called her for any little thing. How her face lights up whenever I came into the room…" Jade drifted off as a small smile appeared on her face.

Dare I say that it looked almost like Tori's lovey-dovey look?

Jade shook her head and looked at me and asked "You're friends with her. Tell me, why does she love me? How did she fall in love with me?"

"Long story or Cliff notes?" I asked.

"Cliff notes," she replied.

"Remember when you and Beck broke up?" I asked.

"Which time?" Jade replied sourly.

"The last time," I replied.

"Yeah…I walked to Tori's after getting near blackout drunk…Banged on her door for what seemed like forever and-if you tell anyone, I will kill you-cried in her arms and then things get kinda fuzzy," Jade replied, briefly looking away from me with a blush on her face.

"Well did you know that you two danced and then made out before you went to sleep?" I replied as I sipped my milkshake, unable to hide the smug grin.


I nearly laughed when Andre nearly choked on his chocolate milkshake when I sprang that question on him but I'm not finding it so funny now after nearly choking on mine.

"No fucking way…" I said.

"Sure did," Andre said with a ghost of a smile.

No way did I kiss her that night!

Did I…?

"T-That can't be…" I said vocally but inwardly, I…

It was then I heard the song that was playing through the speaker above me.

"You've been scared of love and what it did to you
You don't have to run, I know what you've been through…"

I felt my breath hitch as the image of my arms interlocked behind Tori's head as I stared into those big doe-like brown eyes, her hands on my hips and our bodies pressed against one another, swaying to this very song.

I remember biting my bottom lip and whispering "Kiss me…"

"Just a simple touch and it can set you free
We don't have to rush when you're alone with me."

I then watched her lean her head forward while I tilted my head and shut my eyes and then the taste of green candied apples assaulted my senses. I could remember her tongue exploring my mouth while mine did the same.

My arms were gripping her as if I was drowning. I could hear her moan my name, her hands gripping at my hips harder, my nipples hard and pressing against her chest.

But while that startled me, me remembering the lust, the security, the love and the biggest of all, the trust blossoming in my heart.

I could remember how soft her bed was, how strangely dominating she was. Her hands had pinned mine over my head as she kissed me with everything she had and I could remember my body arched into hers, my legs wrapping against her hips to pull her clothes, the soft and desperate whispers of her wanting to take me.

I wanted her to have all of me.

But then, I remember waking up with my clothes on and finding Tori downstairs cooking and whistling, acting totally normal. It was like the kiss didn't happen. She never even let out an inkling that we had crossed that line.

But why?

I placed my hand against my lips and suddenly, the tingle from a month ago came back and I blushed heavily. "So we kissed…Why didn't she talk to me about it?" I asked him with a frown.

"Well she felt guilty that she took advantage of you while you were drunk," Andre said. "It also helped she was drunk herself during that time."

"Holy shit…" I whispered, my entire body burning. "So…Does anyone else know?"

"Just Tori, you and I," Andre replied.

"Well, let's keep this part between you and me. I overheard Tori's song at the Black Box today," I told him. "I wasn't trying to spy on her. I was coming to fuck h-fuck with her about shit when I heard her sing and overheard you guys talking about me…Hearing her say she loved me made me think about shit…And in turn…I realized I'm in love with her…Fuck I said it out loud."

"Well, nice," Andre replied with an easy going smile. "So, what do you plan to do about it?"

"Well there is only one thing to do…I'm going to tell her how I feel," I replied with a determined smirk. "Now I know I'm a fuck up and I don't want to say the wrong shit and make her mad at me… Andre, I want you to help me make a song for the Hollywood Arts Concert."

Andre smirked and replied "That I can do partner."

I smirked back.


Rain: And that's the end of this chapter. Like I said…I had a few ideas for this and well…Um…The Andre and Trina thing kinda happened out of nowhere but I kind of had fun with it…Um…Until the next chapter?
