A/N: OK I know where I am going with this… even if you don't this chapter is a bit of a ramble. I hope you like it, but it's either bound to confuse you or make you mad. No hotness in this chapter I figured your eyes needed a break.

Marry You

Tori

The weeks passed in a torrent of music, school, and sex; hot, sneaky sex that drove me wild. There were times where we were close to being discovered, had we not mere minutes before separated from each other. Everywhere was fair game, the studio at school; the back stage in the tech room. The broom closet… I guess paying attention to how we could be sneaky, or the challenge and excitement as to where the next encounter could be without getting caught, made us forget the most important part of our newfound relationship.

I got into school late one morning. I was particularly tired after a long night of rehearsal with the group. Keenan's friend had come to the Asphalt and heard us at our Friday concert and decided to sign us. This was great, now we just needed to see how we could start getting some gigs and coming off of the label's shelf.

The whole group was excited; even Jade, which was uncharacteristic. The night before, the four of us did a cover of Bruno Mars lazy song and put it on line just for fun. That had taken more out of me than I wanted to believe. I knew something was wrong, and I knew what it could be, because I had been a naughty girl and I hadn't been strict about precautionary actions.

"Hey hey!" Cat said bouncing towards my locker. "Did you see how our cover of Bruno mars did on The Slap?"

I was not in the mood, but I put a smile on my face. "No, I haven't been online."

"They loved it! Check it out." I looked on her pear phone and saw all of the comments. Some were hilarious, but most were really positive.

"Cool!" I said, "Now let's get to Sikowitz class, before we're late."

When we walked into the classroom everyone except for Jade, Beck, and Andre began to clap. Cat giggled and bowed. "What's this for?" I asked taking my seat.

This one girl that had a maddening crush on Andre leaned close to him saying. "We saw your video on The Slap. It was awesome." I can usually withstand the overtures she places on Andre. But today it was the hardest thing not to turn into Jade with that… that… I guess it was my fault. Because it has been almost a month and we were good at hiding our feelings from others.

Andre leaned away from the girl, and looked at her like she had grown two extra heads. She felt a little self-conscious and backed away. Normally I would have felt bad for her, but I was grateful for Andre's gesture.

"Ok class, yes. We all saw the efforts of our most successful students. Now the rest of you come up with something of your own already." Sikowitz interrupted. "Now if you don't mind, let's begin class."

Sikowitz started to prattle on and I couldn't keep focused. All I could think about was that I needed to talk to Andre. Really talk, about what was happening. He was the only one I could talk to about what we had been doing. Class ended and I had no idea. I just sat there zoned out, until Andre touched my shoulder. I jumped startled and looked around the room. "Class ended about five minutes ago." He said softly.

I smiled at him, "I'm sorry Andre, I 'm just…" I searched for the right word. "Tired."

He smirked, "About that… we might need to cool it down a little. We haven't been doing this the right way, if you know what I mean."

"Oh I do… I have to talk to you." I said.

He looked at me… really looked at me, and I knew that I really didn't have to say the words. He knew what was up. "Lets talk after school, you can come with me to the store."

I gave him a grateful smile and walked with him to his next class.

Andre and I stood in the family planning section of the pharmacy. We had each grabbed a couple of pregnancy test. "Do we really need this many?" I asked as I drank from my bottle of water.

"We want to be really sure… Tori, I want you to know something, no matter what we see on these tests, I am here for you."

I smiled and started walking toward the register. "I can't believe you don't have any!" Jade screamed coming into the store. I panicked and threw the pregnancy tests behind a bag of depends. Andre picked a pack up just as Jade and Beck saw us.

"Oh hey guys." Andre said, "w-what are you doing here?"

Jade and Beck looked a bit skittish themselves, "We ah… "Beck started.

"For crying out loud, we're avoiding becoming a statistic." She said bluntly and headed to the family planning area and grabbed a pack of condoms.

"I'm getting some…" he looked at his hands, "diapers for my grandma." Andre said without being asked. He insisted that he was buying those stupid things for his grandma, and we left the pharmacy with Jade and Beck and a pack of stupid diapers.

"You mad?" He asked me as I searched for my keys. Time had run out, we had rehearsal in fifteen minutes.

"No." I said, having the hardest time putting my key in the lock.

"Tor…" he held my hand and took the key from me. "I love you."

We hadn't said this before, and it was the oddest most awkward time to say it. I smiled and I opened my mouth to speak when Robbie and Cat showed up at the door. "Oh good you're home!" Robbie said

"Yeah, we hate showing up when you're not here. That Trina gives me the creeps." Rex said.

"Well Trina is in San Diego for the weekend." I said, letting everyone in.

The whole night we rehearsed. I worried I just couldn't concentrate on anything. Then Andre just stopped. "Guys we should take a break."

Beck and Jade were lounging on our sofa; we sat around kind of bored. Then Andre began to sing some more Bruno Mars. He looked at me from across the room and started singing Marry You. Then Beck and Jade joined in. Cat and Robbie danced in, and Jade and Beck cuddled on the sofa as they sang. Andre and I were the only ones that weren't an obvious couple.

While the others were singing, Andre wandered over to me and said under his breath. "I don't care whether or not you're pregnant."

"What do you mean? I whisper back.

"Marry me. No one even has to know."

"We're seventeen."

"And doing things that grown folks do… My grandma can witness…"

"What about me?" I said a little louder than I should have.

"What about you?" Jade said, the song had ended, and they had been watching us have this hushed conversation for a little while now.

"We can figure that out!" Andre continued ignoring Jade.

"Figure what out?" Cat asked

"Is that a yes or a no?" Andre continued.

"Can we talk about this later?"

"Talk about what?" Robbie jumped in now. Beck watched everything silently. I looked at every one, then back at Andre.

"I can't sing that solo off the top of my head Andre, I need some time." I answered. "I'm sorry."

I walked out of the living room and up the stairs toward my room. As I passed my parents' bedroom, Mom called me in. I peeked in and I tried to listen to whatever she was saying. But soon she realized I wasn't listening at all. "What's wrong Tori?"

"I…" I started then I thought, what am I going to say? I took a deep breath. "I want to marry Andre."

A/N: I swear to you this is not a pregnancy fic… even if it looks like it right now. I will write one later on, that follows this story. Not this one. Anyway, this chapter sucked but review anyway.
