Thank you for the follows, faves, and reviews. This one takes place during 'Jade Gets Crushed'.

Thanks to zexalsparky for pointing out that his chapter was unfinished. Sorry about that. I thought it was when I uploaded it to the site, and didn't realize the rest was missing.

Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious' or its characters.

No POV

"You like that?" Jade asks after singing lyrics she thought up for the music to Andre's song.

"Mm-hmm." Andre says, nodding his head.

"Let's take a break for the day." Jade says, taking the headphones off and setting them aside. "You need a ride?" She asks as she stands up and grabs her stuff.

"No. I'm good." Andre says quickly, shutting the piano and recording systems down. "See you tomorrow." He says quickly, standing up and grabbing his stuff.

"See ya." Jade says, watching Andre leave. "What the hell was that?" She asks as the door closes behind him.

Twenty minutes later, Andre stands outside the Vega house, his bike in hand as he waits for Tori to open the door for him.

"Did you get my text?" He asks as soon as Tori opens the door.

"Yes. Why do you think I'm here at four in the morning?" Tori asks, hair wild from sleep and voice heavy from waking up less than five minutes ago.

"Make some cocoa." Andre orders, setting his bike against the back of the couches.

"I'm not making cocoa." Tori denies, raising an eyebrow when Andre groans. "What is wrong?" She asks, closing the front door and moving to sit beside Andre.

"I think I'm in love with Jade." Andre says quickly, not looking at Tori.

"I'll make the cocoa." Tori says after a short moment of stunned silence, standing up and heading to the kitchen to make cocoa.

"You think you're in love with Jade?" She asks, sitting a few inches away, a coffee cup of Belgium cocoa in hand. "You can't be in love with Jade." She says after Andre gives a quick explanation for why he thinks that.

"I know." Andre says, setting his cup of cocoa on the table in front of him and standing up. "Beck's my best friend." He says, starting to pace.

"But they're not together anymore." Tori says, watching Andre pace.

"I know. But they used to, and I can't like a friend's ex." Andre says, looking at Tori. "And you're my best friend too." He says with a sigh, sitting back down.

"Wait, what? What does that have to do with anything?" Tori asks, watching him.

The Next Morning

"Have you seen Jade yet?" Tori asks, leaning against her locker as Andre walks up to her.

"No. And sorry about last night." Andre says with a sigh. "Got the song finished at least."

"Don't worry about it." Tori says, adjusting her bag. "How's the song?" She asks, changing the subject.

"Good, I hope." Andre says, not seeing Jade walk in with Cat.

"HEY TORI!" Cat yells, making Andre jump from the unexpected shout behind him.

"Hey Cat. H-hey Jade." Andre says, stuttering at the sight of Jade.

"HI!" "Hey." Cat and Jade says, walking up to Tori and Andre. "What's wrong with you, Harris? You're freaking out." Jade notes, moving to Tori's side, giving Andre a curious glance.

"No idea what you're talking about." Andre says quickly, ignoring the looks from Cat and Jade, and Tori's 'chill out' look. "I got to go." He says, getting ready to leave.

"What about the song? Do you still need help, or did you finish it?" Jade asks as he heads away.

"How would he have finished it without a female vocalist?" Tori asks her Gothic friend.

"He's Andre. He can get practically any girl he wants. How hard would it be to get her to sing a song for him?" Jade asks, looking at Tori. "Did he get you to sing it?"

"No. Haven't seen him since I left you two in the music room." Tori says, not looking at Jade, her thoughts on her talk with Andre the night before.

"Why are you blushing?" Cat asks, poking Tori's reddening cheek.

"No reason." Tori says quickly. "So, why did you two come in together?" She asks, shifting topics.

"Had to work on a project, she stayed the night, dragged me out this morning." Jade says, shrugging her shoulders. "So, why were you blushing and what was going on with Andre?" She asks as the three head to class.

"Don't worry about it." Tori says as they head to Sikowitz's class.

A few hours later, as the gang sit at lunch, Tori and Andre share glances with each other as the others stare at each other.

"What is going on with you guys?" Robbie asks, looking between Tori, Andre, and Jade.

"Nothing." "Nothing." "I wish I knew." Tori, Andre, and Jade say simultaneously.

"Huh?" Beck asks, staring at his ex and his friends. "Did I miss something?" He asks, looking between them.

"Nope. Nothing." Andre says, standing up. "Tori, can I talk to you in private?" He asks, grabbing her arm and dragging her away.

"What the hell is going on?" Jade asks, watching them, ignoring her feeling of jealousy. "I'll be back. I'm gonna spy on them." She says, standing up.

"Jadey. You can't spy on friends." Cat says, giving Jade a serious look. "My brother spied on his friends. Until he saw his friend walk away with a knife covered in fake blood. He doesn't talk to that friend anymore." She says, keeping her serious look, regardless of the confusing words.

"And on that note." Jade says, leaving.

"What the…?" Beck asks, watching Jade walk away, the others sharing confused looks.

Tori POV

"Will you stop dragging me?" I ask as he pushes the door to the janitor's closet open and pushes me in. "What is wrong with you?" I ask, rubbing my arm from where her gripped it.

"I'm sorry. I almost let it slip out." Andre says, not looking at me.

"Almost let what slip out?" I ask, watching him.

"I almost told Jade that you like her." Andre admits, letting out a groan.

"So you dragged me with you? They're going to wonder what's going on." I ask, glaring at him.

"I'm sorry. I freaked out." Andre says, starting to pace again.

"Chill out." I say, watching him pace. "When did you almost tell Jade? When you ran off this morning, there was no indication." I ask him, stopping him.

"In lunch. Just now." Andre says, not meeting my eyes. "That's why I stood up and left, dragging you with me." He adds as he stands before me, eyes down.

"It didn't seem like it." I say, staring at him.

"That's because I got up to leave when I realized it." Andre says, looking up. "It's like I said last night, about how wonky I get." He says, looking away again.

"Just, chill out, Andre." I say, taking a step back. "It's fine. She doesn't know, no one else knows. Alright?" I say, staring at him.

"Alright." Andre says, taking a few deep breaths. "You have to tell her though. She deserves to know." He tells me, starting to calm down.

"I will. When I'm ready." I say, brushing a few strands of hair over my ear. "I'm not ready yet. We're still working on the friends thing. Rushing that might make it worse or something." I say, letting out a sigh.

"That's good." Andre says, nodding his head. "I just hope I don't get left alone with her. I'm afraid I'll let it slip or something." He says.

No POV

Unbeknownst to them, the Goth of mention stands outside the closet door, her ear pressed against the thin wooden door.

"She what?" Jade asks herself, keeping her voice low, not believing what she just heard.

Again, thank you to zexalsparky for asking about this being unfinished or not. Hope it's fixed.

I had the next couple of chapters written, but since I forgot this one wasn't finished, I'm going to go over them to make sure things are good. I'll update the next chapter by the end of next week maybe.

Blessed Be.
