A/N: Okay long wait short chapter… I am still blocked I got ne suggestions last time but I didn't think that I should keep you guys waiting any longer. This is a very poorly planned story. What I really want to do is the sequel to this because that is what I wanted to do all along but I had to put a lot of things together before I wrote that one so I figured I would write tis prequel. Anyway… The next chapter might be the last one… I don't know I have not decided. I think it will end at an album release party.

Any way, Review!

Tell me what you really think—S.K.

Teenage love affair

Tori

It was Trina's Graduation. She was finally leaving, and since she had no real talent, she didn't get into an arts college. But she did get into San Diego State. Which meant she was moving two hours away, and I didn't have to deal with her every day.

Not that she annoyed me much anymore, because I don't live with her. I guess I would miss her and her Lucy Ricardo attempts to get in the band.

Anyway, Vegas Valentine got to play the night of Trina's graduation. So we were setting up at the asphalt. Jade was starting to slow down a little. She was five months pregnant and was barely showing, but her body moved much slower than it used to. "Can we just play down on the floor do we have to do this up here?" She said sitting on an amp once she got up on the stage.

I smiled, " you should have stayed down there."

"Sinjin said he needed me up here for lighting." She pulled out a cereal bar and began to eat it as she waited for direction.

"Hey babe, can we get past you guys, gotta get the drums on this." Andre said as he and the rest of the guys from the band got set up. Jade stood up and moved closer to me.

"So what is it?" I asked

"It's a boy." She says she tries to frown but she can't the twinkle in her eye makes her smirk then just smile. "it's a boy."

I couldn't help but smile back. "do you know his name?"

Now she frowns, "No." she rolls her eyes and looks at me. "Are you living vicariously through me Vega? Because I would much rather this be you."

"Yeah I sort of am… I wanted my baby."

"And I don't want mine?" Jade said

"That's not what I meant." I sigh, "I'm glad I don't have it, It is hard to do when you're our age. But, it was my baby."

She sighs, "I understand."

Sinjin gives us the all clear signal and Jade and I begin to head down to the asphalt.

When I get to the ground I see Andre Talking to a chick over by Festus' food truck. She is obviously flirting. I stopped and watched. Was he flirting back? Yes he was. I got angry and began to walk over to them. But Jade and Cat both grabbed my hands.

"You and Andre are the perpetually single ones. Guys are going to hit on you, girls are going to hit on him." Jade said sitting me down at a table.

"yeah, besides it only matters that he comes home to you. If you are gonna keep it like this, you are gonna have to get used to it." Cat continued,

"Think of this as though he is in a play." Jade said. " He is going to have to kiss some of them to convince the crowds that he is single."

"You're enjoying this aren't you?"

"Oh immensely," she smirked, "I'm gonna go find my boyfriend! And make out with him before the show." Jade walked away and left Cat and I behind.

"I can't kiss my boyfriend either… but I guess I don't have to worry about anyone stealing my guy with the puppet." Cat tried to make me feel better. "Why don't you go flirt with someone else?"

"I don't want to…" Just then one of the senior boys walked by and smiled at me. I smiled back, "he-ey."

Cat gasped, "What was that?"

"What? He's cute! Didn't you just say to flirt with someone else?" I answered.

"And you said you didn't want to." She stomps off as if I was cheating on her.

"wh… Cat!" She kept going. But I must say that kept my mind completely off of my cheating (okay he's only flirting) husband. That is until now. I turned to where he was kind of taking the girls grubby hands off of the collar of his shirt and slightly pushing her away. I smiled and walked over. "Hey Andre."

"What? Nothing, I didn't do anything." He finally disengaged her hands from him.

I smiled and pulled at his hands, "Lets go do the sound check."

He smiled at me gratefully, "Uh… yeah… Excuse me baby." We walked away.

"Don't call them baby anymore," I mumbled as we walked up the stairs.

"Okay," He answered and goosed me.

"Andre! I'm mad at you." I said in protest.

"We could tell the world our status…" he said wrapping his arm around my shoulder then pulled me behind the air conditioning vent and in a little niche where no one could see us. "That way they will hit on me… less." He kisses me long and deep my knees went weak.

"Okay I get the point, they won't stop flirting." I said breathily.

"We'll take care of this later, " he murmured into my neck and stepped out onto the stage.

Man he just makes me weak. I walked out on to the stage and we begin our sound checks.

Andre

My baby is so HOT out on the stage. Every time we sing together and she comes closer to me it is all I can do not to wrap my arms around her. I love it when she comes closer and we sing off of the same microphone. She always smells so sweet like mint.

We sang my "best friend's brother", and "all I want is everything." Then Jade sang "It's all Okay," alone as Cat ad Tori went off to change for all of us to "sing Make it shine." It was a great indicator of how we could work the Tour. Jade got to sing, and then she got a lot of rest. It was still a lot for her to do, but I think we can work it.

We all celebrated with the seniors that night, because our summer was about to get really busy.

"I am going to miss you," Jade said to Beck as I walked past them in the living room.

"You better text me every time he kicks… promise?" Beck responded. He was leaving for New York the next morning. They hugged, and I couldn't tell you how glad I was that where I was going, my baby was going with me.

Tori was in the kitchen making some cocoa, I went behind her and wrapped my arms around her. She relaxed against me and murmured, "Oh Lorenzo, you made it."

"Lorenzo?" I asked. She turned her head and smiled.

"Oh I thought you were this kid I was talking to at the party today."

"You what?" I said, I must admit, I was a little upset.

She giggled and kissed my cheek. I frowned. She turned in my arms and pouted. "Aww Andre…" She kisses my neck, "You are my Lorenzo. No one will ever get be tween us, ever."

I wrapped my arms around her, and kissed her deeply.

"Robbie!" Cat said as she followed Robbie out of the Theater.

"It doesn't feel right Cat."

"I'm leaving in three days Robbie, Grow some Balls!" Cat stomped off to her room.

Tori and I looked at them, then at each other. "Should I go talk to her?" She asked me.

I nodded, "I'll talk to Robbie."

Tori and Jade converged in Cat's room. I followed Robbie out to the driveway. Beck was following close behind me. "Hey Rob…"

"Hey," He said sitting on the hood of his car.

"What's up?" Beck asked.

"I just can't… you know." Robbie said.

"Why not? "I asked incredulously, "Your girlfriend is hot."

"Are we talking Sex?" Beck asked. "Dude if you're not ready, then you're not ready if Cat can't respect that, then …"

"This is true. Most girls would die for a guy that doesn't press them into it… but you got to think about how she is feeling. Maybe she thinks you just don't think she is beautiful." I said.

"But I do think she's beautiful. I just, feel guilty, and I look at Jade and I think I really don't want to go there…"

Beck and I nodded. The kid is scared straight.

"Then maybe you need to just cut her off," Beck said.

"Where is he going to get another girl that hot?" I asked Beck.

"Hey!" Robbie said. "Is there anything else I can do?"

"There's plenty," Beck said.

"That could ultimately lead to the real thing," I warned him.

Tori

"He won't do it!" Cat cried. I sat on the bed next to her and Jade stood leaning on the wall by the door.

"Hello, have you seen me? Why would you want to?" Jade stated.

"Aren't guys supposed to want to? Is there something wrong with me?"

"Ha…" Jade began.

"JADE!" I shout. "Cat, there's nothing wrong with either of you. Maybe you make him nervous."

"How could I make him nervous, I'm cute." Cat insisted.

"That is usually the problem." Jade answered.

"Maybe there's someone else." Cat said.

"There's no one else." Tori and Jade said at the same time.

"Just back off." Jade said, "When you're back from tour, he'll be more than ready for you."

I nodded, "Robbie loves you, he will wait for you. Don't push it."

"Okay," Cat said as she got up and headed for the door. "Robbie!"

Jade and I looked at each other and followed her out to the driveway. Cat launched herself in his arms and kissed him. She apologized and said she would never do it again. "Cat I love you I would never cheat on you, I just need time."

Cat smiled, "you've never said that before!"

"Said what?" Robbie asked confused. It was as if he thought it should be obvious that he loved her. He had loved her for years.

"I love you too Robbie, " she said then pulled him inside the house. "Come on, let's spend as much time together as we can before I leave."

We stood outside watching the walk ahead of us. And the four of us just laughed after they'd gone inside.

"Man they're cute." I said between giggles.

"Yup, " Beck said

"Real cute." Jade said

Andre just hugged me and whispered in my ear, "Lets go finish what we started."

I nodded and pulled away pulling at his hands. "Good night guys."

"Later," Beck said as we entered the house.
