Tori's POV

Today was the big day! Andre was coming back to town and all of us were going to have a small get together at Sinjin's house – because we finally faced it. He was our friend…and his parents were also out of town. My parents asked me if I wanted to have a party here, at our house, but they would be there. I told them, thanks, but no thanks in the nicest way possible so they didn't think anything was up. Of course we wanted to have alcohol to celebrate his arrival. And I'm sure someone would end up bringing dope.

Speaking of dope, I hadn't smoked any in four days. I have actually been avoiding Beck. Part of it was out of embarrassment from barfing after such intimacy. The other part was because I had to let go of what Beck and I had to see if I still felt the same way about Andre. With my luck, he'd come back with a new girlfriend to introduce to all of us. I could see Beck's smile now, the "I told you so" smile that I'm sure he's been practicing just in case. I'm sure Jade had something to say, too, if he did come back with a girl. She'd probably make a scene and say something like, "I bought those condoms for you that night and you didn't fuck him yet?!" I could actually hear her voice in my head. It made my ears ring a little.

I was so nervous about today. I felt like I was going on a blind date, rather than a party this evening. It was only two in the afternoon, and I was still going through outfits to wear to the party. To wear for Andre. And my face hurt, because I couldn't stop smiling and I could lie and say that I wasn't practicing my reaction to seeing him for the first time, but I won't.

"Oh my god, Andre! I'm so glad you're back!" I said aloud, looking in the mirror. I was now dressed in a pair of light blue skinny jeans, a bright yellow tank top, and a white studded belt that matched my flats, which were white and had pink and purple flowers all over them. "No, no, no, this doesn't look right. I need to wear a dress. I need to look just as hot as I did the night of Beck's party." I said once again, and started to take my clothes off.

I rushed over to my closet and started looking at the few dresses I had acquired since the summer began. Most of them were work attire for my soon-to-be job, but I could still dress them down for a party. I took out a peach colored peplum dress that stopped a few inches above my knees, and had a mesh back that dipped down low stopping at a few inches above the small of my back. I threw it on and looked in the mirror. I fixed my hair as usual and nodded

"Oh Em Gee! Andre! You're back! I've missed you!" I said aloud once again, and shook my head. "This is missing something; I need a sweater or something to go with this…" I said to myself, and looked into my closet once again. And there she was: a navy blue cardigan that had white hearts all over, stared right back at me. "This is it. This is…." I said, and put it on. I jumped over to my mirror. "Uh, super adorable!" I smiled back at myself, looking at myself at all angles to make sure it was the right choice. It was. I put on some matching navy blue, strappy platform sandals that made me at least three inches taller. My outfit was complete. Perfect.

"Okay, let's try this again…just to make sure I don't trip or-" I stopped when I heard my door being knocked on. "Come in!" I yelled. It was probably Mom, wanting to see my outfit or something. I walked over to my dresser to grab my brush.

"Ya know, my Grandma started out talking to herself…," I heard the voice say. I dropped my brush and my eyes widened. I turned around and tossed my hair behind my shoulders.

"Andre! AHH! It's you!" I yelled, tackling him on top of my bed. Okay, so it's nothing that I practiced, but I guess you can't write a script for true emotion. My heart swelled up like a balloon! The break between Beck and I was definitely not needed. My feelings for Andre returned the moment I saw him, leaning against my bed post all cool like.

"It is? It is!" he smiled up at me before wrapping his strong arms around me. He held me tight, and for a moment, I thought that time stood still. Suddenly, it didn't matter what I was going to wear tonight. It didn't matter that a few days ago I was with Beck. All that mattered was that he was back, and he was here, with me. "I've missed you, you know that?" he said, pushing me off gently. The both of us sat up. "I know that we talk just about every day, but it's different than actually seeing you in person," he said, taking my hand into his. He kissed it.

"You still love me?" I asked. "Because I still feel the same." I said. Before he could answer there was a soft tapping at my door.

"Hold that thought," he said quietly. "There's someone I want you to meet," he said getting up and heading towards the door. "May I?" he asked, pointing to the door knob. I nodded and smiled because if I didn't smile, I'd probably burst out into tears. Beck and Jade were right. He found someone else. As his hand gripped the doorknob, I started to feel ill. All these scenarios flew through my head. My stomach tried to make its way up my throat. My lungs deflated entirely.

And my heart stopped, I swear.
