Tori paced around the room, counting to fifty. Maybe Andre wouldn't follow her after all. She had been certain that he would, judging by the unmistakable hurt that she had noticed in his eyes after her kissing Beck. Perhaps he didn't want to talk to her right now. Could he have possibly lost interest after her actions?

Tori shook her head, answering that question mentally. He couldn't have. Feelings don't go away that easily. She had found out that Andre had been practically lying to her face for the past few days and even that didn't matter in the end of the day. She would just have to think positively.

Hearing distant footsteps, Tori lifted her head, her confidence rising. She could totally do this. Pulling herself together, she made sure her facial features expressed calmness and wondered how she should play this. Just as strategy plans were crossing her mind, Andre emerged from the door; his eyes focused on the pear phone in his hand and sat down on one of the chairs next to Tori.

"Hey" he greeted casually, lifting his eyes for a second, before going back to scrolling down on the surface of his phone.

Seriously? Was he going to pretend like he hadn't seen anything and play it cool? He had seen it. Tori saw that Andre had seen it and he most definitely knew that Tori had seen that he had seen it.

They had to talk and sort this out. Tori was determined not to let stubbornness get in the way of them being finally together. However, Andre didn't seem to feel the need to talk as he appeared to be completely engrossed in whatever it was that he was looking at.

Tori tried clearing het throat to get Andre to look at her but apparently his phone was more interesting than her at that particular moment. Tori sighed and decided to go for it.

"I know you saw me kissing Beck" she said, and mentally face palmed. That hadn't come out as smooth as it had sounded in her head.

At least it earned her Andre's attention. The boy had now turned her way and was looking at her through sad eyes, having finally put his phone down, next to him.

"Yeah…" Andre's voice cracked and that was all Tori needed to feel a boost of confidence and move her chair closer to him, so that their legs were pressed together on the side.

Changing her position a bit so that she was facing Andre, Tori put on an innocent look, and started trailing patterns down Andre's arm, causing him to stiffen under her touch and give her a cautious look.

"I hope you didn't mind." Tori said, looking at him through her eyelashes.

Andre gulped, his mind racing, trying to understand what the heck was going on but it had suddenly gone completely blank. The way Tori was looking at him at that particular moment might have had something to do with it. Unable to form a sentence in order to reply to Tori's answer, he simply stared at her, causing a smirk to form on her lips.

"Because you go around kissing Jade all the time." She continued, enjoying Andre's confused expression. He was about to say something but Tori beat him to it once again.

"Both were staged kisses anyway." Tori said, giving him a challenging look.

Andre finally put the pieces back together. She had somehow found out about the plan. That didn't upset him. On the contrary, it was a huge relief. Tori had also just admitted that her kiss with Beck wasn't real, so that was another reason for him to be relieved. That is when Andre noticed something flash in Tori's eyes and she once again didn't give him the time to respond as she swung one of her legs on the other side of him, resulting in her to be now straddling him, sitting on his lap. Leaning close, she whispered in his ear.

"Not like this one" mere seconds before their lips collided. Surprised but ecstatic, Andre returned the kiss, pulling Tori closer to him, as she snaked her arms around his neck. They had imagined what it would be like kissing each other multiple times and now that it was finally reality they would both agree that it was better than anything they had even dreamed of.

Finally pulling away, in desperate need of breath, Andre beamed at Tori, who returned the smile, now blushing, realizing how strong she had come out earlier. Andre laughed as he saw her cheeks flash red, causing her to smack his arm playfully.

"Don't you even ..." Tori threatened, but she was still smiling.

Andre chuckled, before asking. "So, how did you find out? You know, about me liking you and the plan?"

"I can't tell you." She said, not wanting to give out…

"It was Cat, wasn't it?" he asked, humor in his eyes.

"Yeah…" admitted Tori, laughing slightly. "Thank god for that redhead."

"So…"

"So…."

"Will you be my girlfriend?" asked Andre, feeling like a seventh grader. Tori laughed at his discomfort before answering.

"Nah…This whole thing just went down because I was feeling extremely bored today." She replied, eyebrows raised. Tori went to stand up but Andre pulled her back to him.

"Let me rephrase that." He said, smiling. "What time should I pick you up for our date?"

"That's better." Tori laughed, before planting a small kiss on her boyfriend's lips.

Andre smiled at her once again, and just then a thought crossed his mind.

"How did Beck take it?"

"Oh, Beck doesn't know…" replied Tori, looking at the ground. She kept forgetting to feel him in.

Andre frowned just as his phone vibrated.

Robbie:

Beck just stormed off, yelling something about getting his girlfriend back.

It was about time.

"You don't have to worry about that." He said, and noticing Tori questioning eyes went on. "It is up to Jade from now on."

"Well that should be interesting."

"Indeed."

The bell had just rang and Beck went back to searching for Jade around the yard, the halls and the classrooms. It was like she had disappeared. When he hadn't wanted to see her sucking faces with his best friend Jade would always be there, yet the one time in the past four months that he wanted to find her, the earth appeared to have swallowed her. Just great.

Sighing, Beck ended up in the main hall once again and skimmed the place with his eyes until they landed on the unmistakable raven locks, decorated with blue strikes that belonged to his ex.

Upon seeing her, Beck quickened his pace that had turned into dragging his body around during the past minutes and rushed to her.

Jade was standing in front of her scissor decorated locker, trying to fit her textbook inside, muttering various curse words along the way. Beck couldn't help but chuckle slightly at her actions.

Finally reaching her, he grabbed the book from her hands in one swift movement and placed it inside the way he only could, before slamming the locker shut, causing Jade to take a step back surprised, bumping on his chest. Turning around slowly, the girl raised her eyes to meet Beck's and raised an eyebrow at him, before turning to walk away.

Beck got a hold of her wrist before she got the chance to take two steps and his firm grip caused Jade to turn around , giving him a half questioning, half annoyed look. Taking in his expression that was giving out determination, she suppressed the smirk that was making its way to her lips and stopped for a second, before tugging harder in order to release herself from his hold. It was in vain, Beck wouldn't have any of it. He was completely unaffected by Jade's now threatening glare and stood his ground as she kept on squirming trying to get free.

"Let go…" Just as the protests started, Beck yanked Jade's arm, firmly yet still gently, guiding her into the janitor's closet.

"What is wrong with you?" she asked as Beck finally let her go, and turned to lock the door behind him. Rubbing her wrist she gave him another glare.

He simply rolled his eyes. "It is not that bad."

"Whatever. Will you now please explain to me why you dragged me in here and locked the door behind you? Because frankly you are giving off a creep vibe right now.." she said, laughing at Beck's somewhat offended expression.

"I just wanted to talk to you…" he stated, staring at her intently.

"Well can it wait? Because I have arranged to meet Andre for…" The sound of Beck banging his hand on a nearby surface, followed by the sight of him kicking the janitor's garbage bin, got Jade to lift her head and take a step backwards.

"Don't.." shouted Beck.

Jade took Beck in , as he was trying to regain his breath and calm demeanor. It didn't work. Beck's face was distorted into a hurt expression and his hair were tousled, his eyes alert. At that point Jade knew that Beck had reached his breaking point. That poker face of his was gone and there wasn't even a trace of it left behind as he looked at her, his eyes desperate. Jade's heart clenched at the sight of him.

"Please, don't" he whispered once again and Jade had the urge to hug him and tell him that everything would be okay. It turns out that she couldn't take watching Beck hurt, it made her more upset that she could have ever imagined.

"Can't you see? This is breaking me, Jade.." Beck said and gestured to himself. "I can't take it anymore. You and Andre together. It hurts so fucking much I can't take it. Every time he kisses you or touches you it is like a stab in the chest, and there is just that many stabs one can take before dropping dead."

"So, I now know what you can write to that assignment Sikowitz gave us. Broken, Hurt and full of regret. Regret for not opening that damn door. It was the biggest mistake I have done in my life so far and it has been haunting me ever since. Watching you with Andre hurts so much you don't even know, and you seem happy with him, but I need to ask…."

Jade nodded, feeling her eyes watering. There was nothing she could do about it. She knew that Beck could now feel the pain she had felt when he had given up on them, but there wasn't satisfaction that she felt; it was sadness, because if she could change the situation Jade would have, as for Beck not to hurt as much as she had.

"Ask what?" she whispered, lifting her eyes from where she had them settled on the ground in order to look at Beck and the way he was leaning against the wall for support. That is when she noticed that she was no different.

"Would you take me back?" he asked, his voice cracking at the end. Beck had lowered his eyes, ready for rejection.

Jade was as confused as ever. She knew what she wanted but bringing in mind the state she was in after the break up with Beck, a part of her, and no matter how small that part was told her to be cautious and walk away as long as the pieces could still be glued back together.

"How can I know…" she started, but Beck cut her off, raising his eyes to meet her ocean blue ones and taking a step towards her looking at her intently. They were now only inches apart due to the size of the janitor's closet and Jade could feel Beck's breath tickle her lips as he answered her unstated question.

"Because I love you"

That was enough for her and all it took to wipe all the doubts away.

The next thing she knew Beck's lips crashed on hers, causing the familiar feeling of warmth to run through her. She had really missed this. Not hesitating a second, Jade moved her lips against Beck's , loving the feeling of his arms snaking around her waist, pulling her closer to him, as she cupped his cheek. The kiss had started of desperate but soon faded to a loving, gentle one as the fear and the hurt washed away.

Beck finally pulled away, leaning his forehead against Jade's and gazing into those ocean blue eyes he loved adoringly.

"I will take that as a yes." Beck said, out of breath but smiling widely, causing Jade to melt. He was the only person that could do that.

Jade just nodded, smiling as well.

"I love you too" she whispered. Beck was usually the one to say these three words, but they both knew that she meant them just as much.

"I know babe." Beck reassured her, placing a kiss on top of her head. "I know."

When they emerged from the janitor's closet, Beck's arm was around Jade's shoulders, holding her close to him, just like he always would before they broke up. They had been too absorbed in their own bubble but that bubble suddenly burst when Beck remembered of Andre.

He panicked for a second there, because even though he had been with Jade first, Andre was still one of his best friends. That is when Tori and the previous events flashed in his mind, causing to calm down a notch. Beck really hoped that things had worked out for him and Tori just as they had for him and Jade.

"How are we going to tell Andre?" he asked cautiously.

Jade's phone chose that moment to vibrate in her pocket, giving out a sound that one could only compare to a scream, causing Beck to take a step backwards.

"It is just a text" Jade rolled her eyes, laughing at his reaction. Beck had forgotten about her unusual ringtone selections.

From: Andre

Done :D You?

Jade smiled to herself before typing back.

To: Andre

Likewise. :)

Nice doing business with you.

"Let's just say that that is sorted out already." Jade answered Beck's question and upon receiving a questioning look from him, got hold of his hand, entwining their fingers together and dragged him towards the exit.

"I will explain later."

And she was going to. Leaving some parts out and altering some others, Beck would realize that everything was now okay. As for her and Andre's plan….

Some things are better left unknown.

What mattered was the result.

Poker face = Broken

Beck and Jade finally got together, now let's cross our fingers for that to happen on the show as well. (Tandre and Cabbie would also be nice). Hehe, I am probably asking for too much.

I was kind of nervous when it came to posting this because I was afraid that it wouldn't live up to you expectations. I really hope I didn't let you down!
