Secrets Come Out

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Victorious nor do I have any affiliation with it or any other fan fics!

Andre and I were sentenced to four days for assault. The judge told us that if we did anything like that again, we would have to face a longer sentence. I guess it makes me feel a bit better that my family already stopped caring about me; otherwise I'd be a little more ashamed. Not that I wasn't ashamed at all, but damn, it sucked. Andre, however, got a lot of flak from his grandmother. I felt bad for him, especially since it was me who dragged him into this mess. Everything that had gone wrong to this moment was completely my fault and it was a crappy feeling.

Today was the second day of our sentence. Jail actually isn't as bad as people make it out to be, even though it still isn't that great. Andre and I shared a cell and the beds actually weren't that bad. The food was decent enough to live off of, we were allowed to watch a bit of TV in the mess hall and every now and then we could work out. That's not to say I want to stay in jail forever; it's just that it could've been worse. Robbie, Tori and Cat have all visited us and we would just talk about random topics. Jade however, hasn't visited yet. Right now, Andre and I were just hanging out in our cell. I was lying in my bed staring at the ceiling. Andre was drumming his fingers, making tunes in his mind like he usually would. All of a sudden, he stopped and looked at me.

"Beck?"

"Yeah?"

"How long have you been in love with Jade?"

I froze for a second. I was completely caught off guard since the question had come from nowhere. Also, I had no idea Andre knew. Tori, Robbie and Cat all knew but they kept it secret from Andre and Jade for their sake. And I obviously never told either of them either.

"I'm not in love with Jade."

"Dude, I can tell. I've been paying good attention for the past couple of days."

Andre was right. We had known each other for too long. I couldn't get anything past him.

"What gave me away?

"Just a few things. Like your eagerness to get to Jade when I was at school. How fast you were to tell us about Jade and her parents. The look on your face when Jade and I announced our trip."

"Ugh..."

"It must be killing you to see Jade with me, isn't it?"

"I'm fine with it. Really."

"No you're not.

"Andre, we've been friends for years. You know I would never hurt you on purpose."

"You know I'd never hurt you either. I can break up with her so that you can have a chance."

Andre was really surprising me today. For one thing, it was like Andre to be a nice guy but even after so many years, I had no idea how caring and loyal he could be. But still, whatever loyalty and friendship he gave to me, I reciprocated. There's no way I could ever bring myself to take that kind of offer from someone, let alone someone I had known for almost my entire life.

"No, man. I could never let you do that. I'd never forgive myself. If Jade is happier with you and you're happy with her, I would want her to stay with you."

"But if she's happier with you, she should go to you."

"Well, who are we to decide this? The fairest thing to do is let her decide, right?"

"You're right but it's not like it matters anyway. Jade's stupid parents are going to get their way. Any day now, we'll find out that they moved away so that we can't get to Jade. They might already be gone."

"Don't say that, Andre. We just have to keep hoping."

The two of us sat there in silence. I was actually praying where I sat. I didn't exactly understand how to pray but I was just hoping God would hear me and put Jade's parents where they belonged and give Jade a better life.

"I'm really sorry about all this. You deserve better. And I'm sorry that the whole your child with Jade thing never worked out."

"Wait, back up. What did you just say?"

Andre sat up in complete surprise.

"I'm going to be a father?" he asked with shock and uncertainty.

"Well, not exactly. Jade told me in private back at the hospital when Tori was there. She said you guys had sex on your trip without protection and that she thought she might get pregnant. She never was."

"You're saying she told you we had sex on our trip?"

"Yeah."

"We've never had sex. Ever."

"You what?"

Now it was my turn to be stunned. Obviously, I had known Andre for a very long time so I could trust him to tell me the truth. But why would Jade lie to me about something so serious? It just didn't make sense.

"I mean, obviously we've talked about it and we've done other stuff but we decided we weren't ready for sex yet."

"Then why would she tell me all of that?"

"I don't know. Maybe to test you or something?"

"Why would she need to test me? We've been good friends for months now."

As we were discussing our conspiracy theories, a security guard came in and knocked on our cell door. The two of us sat up straight as the knocks scared us.

"Andre Harris? Beck Oliver? You have a visitor. She says her name is Jade."

ohsnapitzJess: Fair enough. I only picked Zoey 101 because I watched it and it had a big enough cast to make a team. Don't worry about the not reviewing. I do it too. And yay, I have good stuff!

Im Right Here 13: Worth thinking about. I've always got my notepad by my side.

JuliaFoolia: Thanks! =D Unfortunately, summer school has bogged down my free time so updates are going to slow down even more than they already have. But I'll do my best.

secretparamour: Who wouldn't hate Mr. West right now? Thanks for the love!

chocolatecheesecake23164: I do it because I'm a jerk. Although now that I think of it, I can't think of a good reason why Jade didn't say anything. Maybe just shock.

CallieScissorLuvJogia: I'll get the shovel, you lure them to the hole and we'll push them in together!

Jeremy Shane: Thank you, come again. =)

SQTGirl: Welcome back!
