Disclaimer: I have no Idea why anyone even does these. I mean if you owned the show, wouldn't you be writing the script for it instead of hanging out on ff? Oh well, yeah, I disclaim Victorious.

a/n I'm kind of pathetic. Because I get 1 review and my life is complete. Like, if a rabid kitten came along right now and killed me, it would be okay, because OH MY GOD SOMEONE REVIEWED AND THEY LIKED MY STORY! And they also said I should continue with this, so if it turns out awful, it's totally their fault.

We didn't get a chance to talk right after our kiss because some teacher came in and said I was needed back at the project I was working on. But before I'd left Tori had reached up and given me a goodbye kiss, so I had been pretty sure about how she felt. But now, she was just avoiding me. She'd catch me looking at her and she would look away with a blush. She'd sit on the opposite end of the table from me, acting like the salad in front of her was the most important thing in the world. She was making me wonder about what had happened. I thought that she had liked it as much as me, but we hadn't talked about it yet and it had already been a week.

It was killing me. Maybe she was bothered that me and Beck were still together? I could fix that.

Me and Beck, we have something special. We have an unspoken agreement that we are really just dating because we don't want to be bothered by anyone else. It's easier to fend off people when you have a handy boyfriend to pull out. But even though we only kiss in public, we are still friends. So it's wasn't strange when I called him and said, "Can we meet someplace? I need to talk to you," because he was used to me needing to vent emotions to him.

We met at the local café and sat down. He raised his eyebrows, "So…"

"So…" I echoed.

He reached out and grabbed my hands which were on the table, wringing and twisting together. I guess I was more nervous than I thought. I mean, even though we knew we were better as friends, we had gotten comfortable with the image everyone else saw. I didn't want to hurt him. What if he didn't think about all of this the same way I did?

"Jade, you know you can tell me whatever it is that's bothering you," he gave my hands a squeeze before letting them go and leaning back in his chair.

"yeah, I know, I just-" I was still fidgeting."I just don't want to hurt you"

His eyebrows went up again in surprise, "Did you kill my dog?"

"What? Beck you don't even have a dog," what was he talking about?

"Did you plant deadly mold in my RV?"

"No…"

"Did you call and give the police false information so that my dad would get arrested?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Did you put poison in my coffee?"

"No! Beck, what are you getting at?"

He leaned forward a little, "Well if it's none of those things, then it can't be too bad can it?"

I laughed, this is why we were still friends, he always knew how to make me feel better. "Do you still think of us as dating? Because we don't really do any of the 'boyfriend-girlfriend' things, you know? I don't really think of you like that" I ducked my head down, "I think of you as one of my best friends,"

"I think of you as one of my best friends too, Jade." He reached across and tilted my chin up so I was looking at him. "I want you to be happy. I don't care who makes you happy." I squeaked

"Who said anything about someone else?" Did he already know? I hadn't told anyone and I didn't think Tori would want to tell anyone.

"No one said anything, I just kind of guessed." He said. I breathe a sigh a relief. It wasn't that I was worried about what people would think, or that they would abuse us or anything. Heck, we've got half a dozen gay couples and a few single gays. I just wanted to be able to announce it on my own terms, and make sure Tori was okay with it.

"So who is he?" Beck asked, leaning back with a smile on his face.

I could tell Beck, he wouldn't tell anyone else, plus I kind of wanted somebody to talk to about the whole thing. "It's not a 'he'" I said carefully.

"Oh?" he didn't seem too shocked, mostly interested. "Are you…"

"Gay? I don't know. All I know is that I really like her" I said with a sigh.

"Okay, so who is 'she'?" he said, his hand making a go on motion.

"Tori Vega," I said.

His eyebrows jumped up in surprise again, "Tori Vega? The girl you fight like cats and dogs with, Tori?"

"Yeah," I laughed, "That Tori" I looked up at him.

"Huh, so how did that happen?" he asked.

So I pretty soon I was spilling the whole story out to him.

"And now she won't even look me in the eye!" I said, throwing my hands in the air. "I don't know what to do; I thought she had liked it as much as me. I thought she might be.. interested, you know?" I put my head into my hands, rubbing my temples. "What do you think I should do?"

"I think you should take her for a date." He said, in a very duh voice.

I blushed, "I'm not sure I know …"

"How to do it? It's not that hard, Jade. This is what you do…"

a/n So… second chapter up! I bet you can't guess what will happen in the next one!

Look, see that button? The one that says "review"? Guess what? CANDY COMES OUT WHEN YOU PRESS THAT! I know you want the (*cough* imaginary *cough* *cough*) candy! Seriously tell me how I did, because I am now addicted to reviews.
