AN: Hey everyone. I'm sooo sorry to keep you all waiting, but I've just been busy with exams and such. I assure you though, I will NOT leave this story incomplete like many of the other ones I've read. Anyways, here you go. Sorry if this chapter is boring, but it was the best I could come up with for now.

To all my reviewers: Thank you all for the encouragement.

Awkward

Andre's POV:

"Tori, I'm sorry! I'll do anything you want! Please!" I cry, as she storms off. How could I be such an idiot? Kissing Jade when I just told Tori I loved her, and when Jade was with Beck. So what if Jade made the move? How could I have done such a thing that would hurt so many people I cared for? I knew I didn't deserve a second chance, but I had to try. I couldn't live with myself otherwise.

As quickly as she had put on her angry face, she turns around and looks worriedly at me as I kneel on the ground, emotionally broken. She rushes to my side and starts comforting me. Comforting me! Placing her hands on my shoulders, she shakes me. "Andre! Snap out of it! It's okay! Everything will be alright! I won't leave you, I promise. I'll stay with you, forever." I look up to see her smiling down at me when I calm down a little. I straighten myself back up and take both her hands in mine.

"Tori, I love you," I say in a sincere, but also relieved tone. Tori wasn't gonna leave me. She was gonna stay with me forever. She wasn't angry with me any more.

Tori smiled, and whispered "I love you too, Andre, never forget that. I'm sorry for freaking out at you for something that you didn't do." She leans in, and I gently grasp both her cheeks, closing off the rest of the space. Our lips make contact, and nothing could make us happier…

I slowly open my eyes and slip out of my dream as my phone alarm goes off, signaling 7 o'clock. My eyes widen in horror and I nearly choke and have a heart attack as my vision fixes, and I see what was probably the last thing I ever expected to see.

I was lip-locked with a very shocked Jade, my hands caressing her cheeks.

I immediately break the contact and spring up, my eyes trying to look anywhere but in her direction, while Jade sits there, with the same shocked expression, also trying to look anywhere but at me. The awkwardness between us grew by the second, and it was five minutes of this, me looking anywhere but at her, her looking anywhere but in my direction, neither one of us saying a word to the other. For those five minutes the tension in the room was so thick, you could cut it with a knife.

My mind was raging with questions and thoughts. How did we end up like that? Did it really just happen like I saw it, or was it just part of my dream? If it really did just happen, why didn't Jade break the contact right away? Most importantly, now what? That last thought really bugged me. What would Beck make of it? What would our other friends think? What would Tori think? What kind of best friend was I to both Beck and Tori?

"Jade?" I finally speak, barely above a shaky whisper, breaking the awkward tension between us.

"What?"

"What did we just do?" I ask, hoping that I had dreamt everything.

"Do I even have to answer that?" Crap, so it really did happen.

"But how did –"

"You were yelling something about Tori leaving you and I tried to shake you awake. Next thing you know, your lips were all over mine. You tell me what you were thinking."

Our brief conversation was followed by another awkward silence, again leaving me with thoughts. Did I really go ahead and do that? Even if it was in my sleep, what the hell was I thinking? Now do we just keep this innocent mistake between ourselves, or what?

"Andre? Jade? What are you two doing? School's about to start." I look up to see my mom, motioning towards the clock. 7:30. Thirty minutes left. Have we really sat here for that long?

I quickly get ready, and grab my bag, followed by Jade. Together we make it towards my car and get in.

"Alright Harris, say nothing about this to anyone. Got it?" Jade looked at me, with almost threatening eyes.

I answered almost reflexively. "Um, yeah. It was an innocent mistake, that's all." Deep down however, I was shaking. I had trouble hiding my worry over things like this, especially from Tori and Beck, the two people who would be most affected if they found out. And I certainly didn't want to lie to my two best friends. It's for everyone's own good. I try to reassure myself. Just go with it.

The rest of our ride was accompanied by more awkward silence and Jade and I avoiding each other's eyes. This can't possibly mean anything good.

Just my luck, we were greeted by the two people I didn't want to face at the moment.

Tori and Beck.

Tori's POV:

Man, I've been waiting for Andre to show up ever since I got here. Oh wait, there's his car now. Okay Tori, you can do this. Just greet him as always, pull him aside, and say it. You've even got Beck here to support you. Now it's all up to you.

"Wait, is that Jade with him there?"

I look over to where Beck was pointing. Sure enough, Jade got out of Andre's car, and they were both walking this way. Except, they were walking with a lot of distance between them, and by their facial expressions, they seemed to be trying to avoid looking at each other. Weird. Weren't Andre and Jade close friends? And here they were, generating enough tension that even Beck and I could feel it. Never mind that they didn't want to look at each other, I think Andre would have walked right by Beck and I if I didn't say hi first. He stopped in his tracks, and glanced at us, merely giving us both an awkward wave, while also standing distant from us like he did with Jade. Jade followed suit after being greeted by Beck, also being distant from everyone.

So now, instead of telling Andre what I've been trying to tell him with Beck backing me up, we were just all giving each other awkward stares, the tension growing by the second.

"Soooo…" I finally break the silence after what must have been three minutes of awkward tension.

AN: Again, I'm sorry if this chapter was kinda suckish, but I really didn't have any better ideas when I came up with this. Well, what did you all think? Review please :)
