A/N: Let me answer a few questions - so about Bade, well after reading this chapter, about all of them. I promise each ship and plot with have the ending it deserves. So just trust me. This fic is close to 20 chapters so we're almost there. This chapter will be a little OOC, but I hope that I've kept them a little in character for most of the chapters. I tried my best. Thanks for all the reviews you guys, I'm glad you're liking this :)

WARNING: if you don't like fights... well this chapter is a fight, so... brace yourselves.

"Great going Vega, now we're stuck here cleaning up these stupid kids' mess because of you," Jade scoffed.

"It's my fault?" Tori argued.

"Yes, finally you said something right," Jade said.

"I wasn't agreeing with you. How is this only my fault? You were the one interrogating me in front of everyone!"

"Well I wouldn't have to do that if you didn't just come out with your secret when Andre asked you the other night."

"Whatever I have that's going on between me and Andre should only concern me and Andre."

"Jade's kind of right though," Andre said.

"Andre?!"

"Well if you just stop putting it off, then maybe we wouldn't have to cause that scene," he defended.

"About that," Beck said. "Was it really necessary to bring everyone into it?"

"Tori and Andre aren't the only ones with problems you know," Jade spoke directly to Beck for the first time since their breakup.

"Look, what's going on between us is between us only, not with a hundred other freshmen."

"Isn't that how it started anyways? All those stupid freshmen getting in the way of our relationship?" she retorted.

"Beck's right, you didn't have to be a meanie, Robbie," Cat started her own argument.

"I was only making a point, Cat."

"Whoa, what's going on with you two?" Beck asked.

"Um, excuse me, we were talking about us, Beck!" Jade grew angry.

"Cat and Robbie are talking about their status," Tori said.

"There you go again with your freaking meddling. Mind your own business, Vega!"

"Beck asked, I answered. And don't get mad at me because you're mad about things with Beck. You should pay more attention to him than trying to always harass me," she scowled.

"You're one to talk. I'm standing right here and you're talking to Jade and Beck about Cat and Robbie," Andre stated.

"There is no Cat and Robbie. We're just friends," Cat spoke up.

"Are you kidding me?! Did you not just listen to the rant we all had earlier?" Robbie started getting heated.

"Robbie, don't you dare start a fight with me," she glared at him.

At this point, the six of them had been walking towards each other, forming a circle, picking a fight with specific people, defending others, and accusing the rest.

"Tori, stop changing the dang subject! What in the name of gravy are you hiding?!" Andre yelled.

Tori was shocked. She'd never heard him yell before.

"Tori, answer me. Or I'm walking away and never turning back," he gave her the ultimatum. At this point, the other four stopped their argument, curious to here her secret.

She sighed heavily. "All right, all right…" she began, "at the beginning of camp, when you and I were singing our first song, 'You're the Reason' in the practice room, remember when you're grandma called and interrupted?"

"Yeah, I remember."

"Well, when you stepped outside, I practiced a bit by myself the rest of the song, and I didn't know someone was watching me."

"Was it a robber?!" Cat was genuinely scared. It was still a mystery to her friends how she could change moods in a split second.

"No, Cat. It was Kool Kojak."

"Oh... phooey. I mean, I guess that's good?" Cat responded.

"Ok… so?" Andre told her to go on.

"Well he told me that maybe he was having second thoughts from the first time at HA when he heard 'Faster Than Boyz' and he'd give it second thoughts."

"Give what?" Robbie asked.

"He decided he wanted to sign me with his label for a short term gig."

"You? As in, just you?" Beck clarified.

"Yes but-"

"Oh I see what's going on now. Vega was going take all the credit and leave Andre in the dust."

"No! That's not what I was going to do!"

"Of course it is, that's why you've been feeling guilty this entire time."

"No Andre, you have to believe me, I tried defending you too. I swear!"

"Tori, at this rate, I don't know who to believe," he said still shocked at her news.

"Andre," Tori was crushed.

"Why would you have to keep it a secret then?" Jade simply asked.

"Because I haven't made a decision yet."

"So there's a chance that you still want to dump Andre for a record label, is that it?"

"No! Jade, stop twisting my words!"

"That's what it seems like to me, Vega. You're running around, sneaking behind Andre's back just so you can wait for the perfect time to stab him in the back and leave him for stardom. I'm beginning to think Trina's the nice one in the family."

"Jade's got a good point," Andre said. "Well the first part at least. Were you really going to dump me just like that?"

"Who said anything about dumping? I haven't made a decision yet!"

"And why not? If you wanted it badly you would have taken it and told me and it probably wouldn't be as bad as it was now. But you had to keep it a secret from me, you're best friend, and look where it's gotten us? Jade's right. You just wanted to wait for the perfect moment to leave."

"Ugh, don't listen to Jade, since when were you ever on Jade's side?"

"Just because she's mean to you, doesn't mean I can't like her."

"Thanks, Andre," Jade smiled.

"Andre come on! It's me, you're best friend!"

He didn't answer. Instead he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. Tori grew furious.

"God, Jade! Are you happy?! Andre hates me now because he thinks I'm bailing on him for Kojak!"

"Don't exert your anger on me, Vega. You did this to yourself. If you hadn't been honest about it, you wouldn't have risked your relationship with Andre."

"You're one to talk," Beck said.

"You're one to talk too. Keeping secrets from me," Jade spat.

"Yeah, but you were jealous. You didn't have to fake it."

"Excuse me?! You're the one who was afraid of he future! Don't you dare make me look like the bad guy!"

"You are the bad guy! You just broke my friendship with Andre! And of course Andre would be on your side, he had a crush on you for God's sake!"

"He what?" Jade's eyes grew, as did everyone else's. Beck's fist tightened and turned to his best friend.

"You had a crush on Jade?"

"That was a long time ago man, and I'm over it now. I didn't do anything about it because you're my best friend," Andre defended, scared that Beck would deck him.

"See, and you're jealous again. How can you not think that jealousy is no big deal when you obviously got angry that Andre used to like me?"

"He's a friend, it's different."

"And what, seeing you and Tori all friendly isn't different either?"

"Jade…"

"No, I'm right."

"She kind of is," Robbie said.

"Yup," Cat mumbled.

"You and Vega clearly had feelings for each other after we broke up. You went on a date! Andre and I never did because, sorry Andre, I don't like him that way."

"Why couldn't you just tell me?"

"Because you shrugged it off all the time! It's like you wanted to see me angry! But that doesn't matter anymore because you don't even want to be with me!"

"Who said anything about not wanting to be with you? You broke up with me!"

"Because you were planning on doing it anyway."

"You guys, please stop," Cat whimpered.

"No Cat, we can't. If we don't let this all out now, then we'll forever hold a grudge," Jade explained.

"Yeah, might as well find out now if the people we say are so called friends are actually friends for life," Andre glanced at Tori.

"Yeah, Cat. It's time to stop hiding," Robbie said.

"What?" the redhead was scared.

"Why can't we talk about us?"

"Because there's nothing to talk about," she said.

"Give it up, Cat. Tell the poor nerd the truth," Andre said.

"Yeah, Shapiro and you deserve to know answers."

"Can't we talk in private?" she begged.

"We've all blurted our chizz, nothing left to hide," Tori said.

Robbie got Cat's attention. "Cat, why can't you just admit that there's something there between us? Am I really that embarrassing to like?"

"No, it's not that, I just don't want to ruin what we have."

"And what's that?"

"Our friendship, Robbie. I care about you too much!"

"I do too, Cat. But I want to be more than friends," Robbie admitted.

"I knew it."

"Aw."

"Whoa."

"Finally, the truth comes out!"

"But that's risky, Robbie. What if it doesn't work out?" she questioned.

"What if it does?"

"But what if it doesn't?"

"Cat, stop doubting. What's the real reason?"

"I like you too, Robbie," She finally admitted.

"See, now was that so hard to say?" Beck said.

"Shut up, Beck," Jade said. "You're one to talk."

"But you see how relationships can turn out?! Beck and Jade have broken up and fought more than the many times my brother went to the hospital! And that's a lot of times! I can't risk that with you, Robbie!" Cat cried, tears were streaming, and she didn't bother to cover herself up.

"But Cat, you won't know if you don't try! What, you want to be scared of the future like Beck?"

"Hey!" Beck was offended.

"He's right, you know," Andre said.

"Beck and Jade broke up! You want to risk that?!" she asked in return.

"Why would you think I'd ever want to lose something as adorable as you?" Robbie answered.

"I always thought Tori and Andre would be friends forever, but look at them, Tori's secret broke them up too," Cat pointed out.

"Hurtful!" Tori shrieked.

"Can it, Vega."

"This friendship is already hard enough on us because we know we like each other. What makes you think a relationship will be any better?"

"I don't know, but I'm willing to try! Why can't you try too?!"

"It's not that easy, Robbie!"

"And you think it's easy seeing you with Danny, or Tug, or Moose?! It hurts, Cat!"

"You went to the CowWow with Gabriella! How do you think that made me feel?"

"You kept running away from me, how do you think that made me feel?"

"Well you shouldn't have gone with her anyway."

"I didn't know you'd be jealous."

"I wasn't jealous."

"Where have I heard that line before," Beck interrupted.

"Were you not just jealous two minutes ago?" Jade pointed out.

"Everyone gets jealous," Tori said.

"Yeah, that's why Vega kissed Danny in front of Cat. Andre, you think you can trust Tori now?"

"Shut up, Jade!" Tori growled.

"You guys! Stop fighting, please!" Cat whined.

"Why don't you answer Robbie, first," Andre scowled. Cat sighed.

"It hurt me that you took another girl to the CowWow. You didn't even ask me."

"Are you crazy?!"

"Yeah…" the other four said in hushed tones.

"I chased you all around campus. I gave up because I knew you were avoiding me. So I took another girl. But I kissed YOU! And you left with not a text or a phone call later. You just pretended like it never happened. That hurt."

"Robbie, you're hurting my feelings," Cat started to bawl.

"Well, Cat... You've already crushed mine. If you don't want to be anything other than friends, well I don't think we can be friends, because we're just going to be pretending. Look how our friends turned out."

"Robbie…"

He didn't take any of his words back. "It's not fair that you're just going to string me along for the rest of my life, because you know I like you a lot."

"Robbie, that's kind of harsh, cutting her off completely?" Tori said.

"You're just saying that because you're afraid I'll do the same," Andre said.

"What? Andre?" Tori was on the verge of tears as well.

"Why not cut off completely? I mean, that was your future plans, right?" Jade told Beck.

"If that's what you think then fine!" Beck was done.

"How is this my fault? You were the one keeping secrets," Jade defended.

"You were the one who wasn't being honest to me in the first place, Tor," Andre told her.

"Are you really not going to talk to me?" Cat asked with water in her eyes, barely seeing Robbie's face clearly.

"It hurts too much to talk to you right now, Cat," he softly spoke.

"I don't know if there's anything left to talk about," Jade said.

"Nothing?" Beck asked.

Jade looked at Tori, who looked at Andre, who looked at Beck, who looked at Robbie, who looked at Cat… crying.

"Maybe it's best if we cool off for a little bit," Andre suggested to everyone.

The six of them stood in the middle of the room. No one wanted to move first, because they knew if they did, it was risking never solving their problems and never talking to one another the same way again. It was stark silence, the lights were dimmed, and hush sobs were coming from their little redheaded friend. Was this really the end of Tori and Andre, Beck and Jade, and Cat and Robbie? Was this the end for all of them?
