Chapter 5-Forever Pt 2
He stopped his heart racing as he watched her head bang against the pavement falling down, unconscious. He couldn't register the scene ahead of him, as Jade, and Beck ran checking on her and Cat and Robbie calling the police, and Sam and Freddie holding Steven Andre began to move and then it seemed to click. Tori had been pushed.
-Rewind 5 hours ago-
Andre lifted Tori off the ground as she squealed happily in shock, laughing as he put her down.
"What is going on?"
"You know that record company that came back after the whole food song incident and after I remade the song into Song2You"
"Yeah?"
"Guess who got a record deal with that song and the songs I've done after, and of course after talking to him I told him I wanted to at least finish high school and make sure my daughter's born safely with me here and my girl and her was settled down where ever she wanted to live of course and of course have her sing some of the songs with me"
"Y-you mean it?" Tori said,
Andre nodded "they'll be here Friday for the show" he said happily, Tori squealed and hugged him happily as he laughed at her squeezing her.
"That's wonderful, so we finish here you can start and I can go to school and take care of her" she said Andre grinned and kissed her cheek.
-Jade and Beck-
"You're worrying babe" Beck said as they got out her car, Jade glared at him and he raised an eyebrow holding the large strawberry drink that she had stopped and got Tori.
"Yes, I'm worried okay"
"About Tori" he said, she nodded and he stopped her and brought her close to him in a firm hug "baby, I am so glad to see you getting closer to her even with the circumstances considering, and you've come a long way you know that"
"I never not liked her; you know that, I just-"
"Didn't know how to be friendly and show you care outside of your way, and Tori knew that in her own way, but what you're doing now how you're taking care of her, Jade it's amazing, you two have truly become best friends" Beck said smiling down, Jade smiled softly and kissed his cheek before, heading into the school.
Jade watched as Sherry walked out of room with a smug grin on her face, smirking at them.
"Is it me or do you not like that look?"
"Not at all" Beck said as they spotted Tori hugging Andre happily
"Good news you think?"
"I do" they stopped at her locker "I wonder what happened"
"Find out after I get my books from my locker"
"Hi Andre" a sweet familiar voice said Andre rolled his eyes and buried his head in Tori's neck mumbling something that Tori must have heard because she cuffed him gently laughing as he moved glared at her playfully.
"Sherry" he said calmly, as Tori turned and beamed at Jade who was coming to her with a large strawberry frappucino with whip cream Beck holding two cups.
"I still got the buttersock" Sam called out from her spot with Carly and Freddie coming around the corner "can I talk to you Andre?" Sherry said ignoring Sam though the way she flinched proved she heard.
"Baby?" He asked smirking as he seen Sherry glare at Tori who turned a pout on her lips "what's wrong?"
"Jades torturing me" she mumbled Andre turned and grinned as he seen Jade stop at her locker with the pink drink
"She'll be here in a moment with your drink" he said Tori turned and frowned " I text her earlier telling her you were having a strawberry day" he said, she beamedband pressed a kiss to him.
"You're amazing oh you can talk to Sherry" she said Andre nodded and looked at the girl who was watching anger evident in her features.
"She has to give you permission to talk to other people?" She questioned "that can't be healthy" as Jade and Beck came over they had heard what she said and laughed along with the rest of them except who had a smirk on his face.
"Shouldn't talk about what you don't know let's go" he said moving away; the girl shot Tori a glare and followed him.
"Come on we have class, here you go Tori" Jade handed her the drink and she beamed at her friend who squealed happily as they walked off to class happily.
-Andre-
The boy followed the girl into an abandoned classroom, he leaned against the door and looked his eyes narrowing until he saw Steven leaning on a chalk board.
"No, I don't even want to know, I'm out"
"You don't wanna know how your girlfriend is three months pregnant with his kid" Sherry said leaning against the wall, Steven eyes widen and he turned to her in shock "yeah, she's three months pregnant Steven congratulations you're a daddy"
"You really think it's his kid" Andre said, thanking God that he could act and do improve pretty well by this point, he laughed "no, no, no she's pregnant with my child and I don't know what you get out of this Sherry but stop trying to break us up, and you stay as far away from Tori and my child"
"You're lying" Steven said grinning suddenly "that's why she felt bigger when I touched her the other day, she's pregnant with my child" he looked at Andre and smirked "and I'll be damned if I let you raise my kid"
"How you gonna manage that Steven?" Andre said crossing his arms "Tori is my girl, and when we graduate she'll be my fiancé and we will have a daughter with my name"
"Please two unstable high school students you won't win this court case I will" Steven said smirking, Andre just smiled and walked out "why are you doing this?"
"Simply thought you both deserved to know" she said, her gaze was angered as she watched Andre leave.
"No you thought he'd leave her, don't worry I have a way that helps all of us, you can have him I'll get Tori and get rid of that kid" contrary to Steven's words he didn't want the kid, no he just didn't want Andre to raise his kid.
"Alright then, tell me the plan" she said grinning, listening to Steven speak.
-Class-
Andre walked in seeing Tori he smiled and walked up to her, leaning down.
"Let's get out of here baby, I still gotta ask you a question" he said, he would never admit being worried but he knew Steven couldn't take his child from him, he was emancipated had a large sum of money from his trust fund and a career waiting for him after high school, what court wouldn't let him keep his child especially when her father was a rapist.
Tori smiled as he led her into the blackbox, the chairs was gone and in the spot was a large canopy in all white, Andre grabbed a remote and dimmed the lights the instrumental starting gently. He led her to the bed as the projector started as well, sitting her down.
"Andre what are you doing?" she said smiling, he smiled at her and kissed her cheek.
"Just listen" he said
"[Verse 1:]
Stop the world
Take a picture
Take a minute
'Cuz I missed ya
Till this day
Yeah, I can't believe
You're right in front of my face
You're right in front of my…
Subconsciously
In the night
I dreamed of her
And she came alive
She's so sweet
Hope she doesn't mind
Eat up all of her time
Eat up all of her…
[Hook:]
Hey, hey!
Hope you enjoy your stay
Feelin' good in the honeymoon stage
You'll find me
Ha, you'll find me…
When the sun goes down
And the star lights up my night
'Cuz she's around
Don't wanna let this moment
Go, whoa ho
Go, whoa ho, ha
But the question is
Will it be here…
Forever, forever-ever, forever-ever?
Ay, will it be here…
Forever, forever-ever, forever-ever?
He moved onto the bed and brought her close her back to his chest, rubbing a gentle hand over her stomach and her other hand
[Verse 2:]
Speeding through life
Race cars
Fighting everyday
Battle scars
Badabada
Ha, yeah battle scars
But they always heal
With a little love
[Hook]
Hey, hey!
Hope you enjoy your stay
Feelin' good in the honeymoon stage
You'll find me
Ha, you'll find me…
When the sun goes down
And the star lights up my night
'Cuz she's around
Don't wanna let this moment
Go, whoa ho
Go, whoa ho, ha
But the question is
Will it be here…
Forever, forever-ever, forever-ever?
Ay, will it be here…
Forever, forever-ever, forever-ever?
[Outro: Snippet from The Notebook] Tori laid next to Andre watching, his eyes however was on her
Could you just stay with me?
Stay with you? What for? Look at us! We're already fighting!
Well that's what we do! We fight! I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings! They're like 2-second rebound rate, you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
So what?
So, it's not going to be easy, it's gonna be really hard, we're gonna have to work with this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you, I want all of you, forever you and me, everyday, could you do something to me? Please? Could you just picture your life for me? 30 years from now? 40 years from now? What's it look like?
[Andre]:
…Forever, forever-ever, forever-ever?" he sang
Bringing his face in close to hers, she kissed him gently smiling into the kiss, tears in his eyes
"Victoria Samantha Vega would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" he asked, Tori laughed and kissed him again.
"I'd be honored baby" she said, he laughed and rolled her on top of him kissing her deeply "you went so out for that I can only wonder what your marriage proposal is like"
"I have an idea already" he said, his hands on her waist looking up to her, the bell rang and she groaned.
"Come on its Sikowitz class, you don't want to miss that" he said, he helped her off the bed and led her out holding her hand. They headed to the class and Andre stopped seeing Steven outside his arms crossed and a grin on his face "I'm seriously going to break his face" he mumbled, Tori didn't say anything eyeing the boy as they walked closer to him.
"Harris, Vega" he said nonchalantly as they moved past him he spoke again "take good care of my kid Vega, wonder how much longer you'll have it" he said, Andre glared and roughly bumped past Steven who grinned going in behind them, Tori staring in shock, she turned to Andre who shook his head.
"Sherry talked" was all he said as Sikowitz came in, flinging his bag to the side.
"Good morning class, today we shall in the blackbox instead rehearsing for the Friday Night show, come along children" they all stood following the man, Steven grinned as he thought a chance to get rid of the kid. As they moved outside he let 'accidentally' tripped pushing Tori hard in the stomach and down the steps. Andre stopped as he seen Tori go down, he went to grab her and missed by moments, as she hit the pavement he stopped all the blood seemed to rush to his ears, his heart in his stomach, he couldn't move or breath. Jade and Beck ran past him as Cat and Robbie called for Sikowitz and the police.
"ANDRE!" Carly yelled bringing him back into focus, Sam had grabbed Steven seeing what happen, as Andre rushed over to his girlfriend.
"The ambulance is coming now, what happen"
"Steven pushed her" Sam bit out, Freddie took up the back in case he ran, Andre snarled and would have went and attacked him but he had Tori and wasn't moving.
"What, you raped her and that wasn't enough you had to tey and kill our child too" he snarled, Steven gave him a blank look
"I don't know what you're talking about" he said, stiffening when a deeper voice came from behind him.
"That's funny, because the rape kit says differently" they looked and seen David in uniform with his new partner "I got it now, Steven Fitzgerald you are under arrest for the rape and assault for Tori Vega" he read him his rights as the students began to trickle out and watch, whispering.
"David, I'll take him in, your daughter needs you" his partner said, David nodded and turned to see Andre holding his daughter cautiously his hand on her stomach.
"It's his isn't it" he asked, knowing the answer Andre looked at him but shook his head.
"No, no, maybe in blood but she is mines she's mines David I'll be the one at every appointment until Tori gives birth I'll be the one teaching my daughter to play the piano while her mother teaches her how to sing and Uncle Beck teaches her how to act and Aunt Jade shows her it's okay to be a little mean to protect herself and-" he choked off holding her close, David closed his eyes and breathed, this was why he trusted Andre the young man was so deeply in love with his daughter and he showed it every time he came across him. As the ambulance came Tori was fighting consciousness, she smiled dazedly at Andre and mumbled to him.
"We love you daddy" she said before passing out, the EMTs moved quickly, Andre watched torn.
"Young man, are you coming?" a EMT asked him, he turned to David who smiled at him sadly nodding at him.
"This young man is my daughter's fiancé he can take care of any decisions I have to report to the precinct, Andre take care of her" David said smoothly ignore Andre's look before he nodded, turning he tossed Beck his keys.
"David wait" Andre called before whispering into the man's ear, he grinned and nodded, Andre smiled, turning to Beck "bring my car I'll meet you guys there" he said, he knew there was no way they we're going to stay at school as he hopped in the ambulance he looked gripping Tori's hand looking out the window he seen Jade crying into Beck shirt, Sam clutching Freddie's hand and Carly crying and Cat buried into Robbie's neck. Things just got a whole lot uglier and he prayed Tori and their child would be alright and Steven would get the years in prison he deserved, especially after this plan.
-Tori-
Tori looked around, she was in a kitchen looking outside she could see a little girl around the age of eight with lightly brown skin curly brown hair and brown eyes, she was wearing a purple dress and laughing happily running with what seemed like and older Andre.
"That's our life mommy" a voice made her spin she stared at the little girl who looked like she was 4 "me you and daddy"
"Who are you?" the girl frowned and looked up at me
"Alessia Jadelyn Harris" she smiled at me "I'm your daughter" she said "well I will be but you have to wake up mommy" suddenly she frowned up at her "daddy misses you and so does Aunty Jade, Uncle Beck, Aunty Cat, Uncle Robbie, Aunty Trina, Aunty Carly, Aunty Sam and Uncle Freddie and even grandpa"
"But I don't understand, where am I"
"Wake up mommy, wake up please if you don't I won't make it" Alessia pleaded, and then she was gone
"Alessia, Alessia"
"Tori baby please, wake up my love we miss you so much, please wake up" the voice was deeper and Tori turned,
"Andre" she whispered
"Please Victoria wake up"
"Wake up Tori" that was Jade, she walked towards the voices and found a white door.
"Tori you gotta wake up please" she pushed the door and suddenly all she seen was white.
"Tori, you're awake" she looke and seen Andre who was smiling his eyes bloodshot but he wasn't alone, looking around she seen Jade her eyes red along with Beck, Cat Robbie Sam Carly and Freddie and her dad and Trina.
"Welcome back Vega" Jade choked out, she tried to sit up but was stopped by Andre, who helped her up and gave her glass of water with a straw.
"Easy Tori, how are you?"
"I'm okay, what happen"
"Steven pushed you down the stairs outside"
"What happen to him?"
"He was let go, not enough evidence" suddenly all their faces changed they all had an evil smile on their faces "but we'll change that as soon as you are released"
"See that grin I'm okay with on Jade even Same but on all of you it's down right freaky, what are you guys planning"
"What's already been planned and this time your father and the Captain is in on it, Lane, Helen and Sikowitz have been involved we'll do like we planned he won't get away with it, any of it, and the entire world will know" Andre said, Tori thought and then smiled nodding.
"Alright I'm in when do I get out of here"
"In a few days miss by Thurday afternoon you should be fine to leave"
"How long have I been out?"
"Well it's Sunday now and everything happened on Wednesday"
"Four days what the hell!" she exclaimed
"Yeah it was starting to get dangerous for the baby" Beck said softly, immediatley she placed her hand on her stomach.
"Alessia" she whispered, Andre's head snapped towards her.
"What did you say?"
"I seen her Andre I did, her name was Alessia Jadelyn Harris and she was beautiful"
"You may have been dreaming it happens occasionally" the doctor said, Andre shook his head.
"No, she couldn't have, Tori did she look like you but with like my skin complexion maybe a little lighter"
"Yeah, she did"
"I had a daydream about her, we named her Alessia in it" he said softly, everyone froze apparently Tori had seen her daughter, her real daughter while she was in a coma.
"Can that happen?" Cat asked they looked at the doctor who smiled at them sadly
"We've seen miracles like a woman and her partner, who already had about 5 kids four adopted one biological from her partner, who had lost her daughter a miscarriage had received a stuffed animal from a little girl, the animal had the very same name as what her daughter would have been, the child said the bear had said she was needed with the woman rather than with the little girl" (A/N: If anyone knows where this is from I'll give you a invisible cookie ) the doctor said smiling "these things while rare are not uncommon, I wish you all and young Alessia the luck and we shall see her when you give birth I hope" the doctor said, Tori smiled and nodded "now you have no lasting injuries, everything is fine and you're fiance said you have a appointment with your OBGYN"
"Yeah next Saturday" she said, the Doctor nodded and smiled at her
"Good, well we'll keep you here just for observation but if anything you can go home Tuesday" Tori smiled and leaned into Andre who pressed a kiss to her forehead. Things would be okay, she had seen it they're family would be alright.
