AN: Just a recap. So, we were at the point where Beck and Cat are now allied and are together planning to get "revenge" on Andre, and Robbie has received texts and a call from a mystery person asking him to meet him/her behind the school near midnight. We're about to meet our mystery caller/texter.

Oh, by the way, I have no idea how much longer this story will be, but I think I can safely say, it'll be over 10 chapters.

Two Sides of Three

Robbie's POV:

During the whole drive back to the Hollywood Arts campus, I repeatedly tried to calm my breathing, but couldn't. I continuously broke out into cold shivers, as my hands loosely and shakily clutched the steering wheel, despite it being warm in my car. I tried my best to keep my full attention on the road, but failed. All this time during the 10 minute drive, my thoughts were back to those texts I had received from that mystery person this morning. Who they were and what they wanted were the main thoughts replaying in my head since I received the mysterious messages and call. I really was scared; the way they blocked their number, refused to tell me who they were, and disguised their voice would have made anyone uncomfortable. The fact that I was far from being the toughest and bravest guy in Hollywood Arts certainly didn't help matters either.

As I waited for the light to change at the intersection right beside the school, my phone vibrated and lit up beside me. The mystery texter again.

TEXT FROM: PRIVATE NUMBER

Are you on your way here? We can't afford to push this off.

I sighed. Ever since half an hour ago, this person started to text me to remind me to be here. This was the fifth text they've sent since then, and it was only 10:15. Apparently, this mystery person changed their mind, and told me to be there by 10:30 instead. But I figured that since they were in such a hurry, they wouldn't mind my getting there early. What they HAD to talk about RIGHT NOW this late was beyond me.

Honestly though, whoever this person was, they were pretty smart. Had they not started pestering me, I really don't know whether or not I would be here. I mean, my parents don't care for me that much, so getting out was a piece of cake. But that didn't mean I wasn't tired and already overwhelmed by thoughts, and just wanted to sleep. Thoughts about Beck and Cat's "revenge" plan, that is. Thoughts about how I could prove them wrong, and about how I can stop them. So far I've come up with nothing.

The light changed, and I drove through the intersection. However, as I slowed down and made the turn into the dark back alley by the school, the all too familiar scared shivers found me again, and I could barely keep my car in control. My right foot very clumsily and shakily pressed the brake pedal and my fingers were barely gripping the steering wheel as I finally brought my car into a controlled stop. As I got out and walked to the old, run-down dumpster, I gripped a lit bright flashlight in my left hand. As I sweeped the light beams through the messy area, my eyes surveying it for, well, someone, the fingers of my right hand were tightly curled around a wooden baseball bat I had brought with me (hey, you can't be too safe, right?).

"Robbie, over here,"

I whirled around, alarmed, as I raised my bat, ready to defend myself with it, and aimed my flashlight at the sound. I froze when I realized how familiar that voice sounded – the voice of a certain goth girl I knew.

I lowered my bat and walked forward a few steps, before seeing a familiar female figure with shoulder-length, free-hanging brunette hair, dressed in black step into the area lit by my flashlight.

Jade West.

Jade's POV:

Finally, Robbie's here. Took him long enough. Yeah, I know I told him to meet me here by 11:00 p.m. and it's only 10:20, but I honestly had to get him here as soon as he possibly could. I really needed him to help me with something, because he seemed to be the only other person at the moment who has witnessed this AND is on the right side with me, unlike Beck, and, I honestly couldn't believe this one, my best friend Cat.

Yeah, I know I just talked badly about two of the few people I actually care for. But if I didn't stop those two from forming their "revenge" plan, all of us will be affected one way or another. So that's why I called and texted Robbie to meet me here – because he actually believes that Andre didn't hurt me, unlike Beck and now Cat, and therefore, the only person at the moment who can help me stop them.

So I spent the next ten minutes or so explaining to Robbie exactly why I sent him here, why so late, why in such a secretive place, and why I asked him to not tell anyone – I wanted to avoid any possible way that word could get out to Beck and Cat. I also explained why it had to be soon – so we could beat the other two allies' schedule. Most importantly, however, I told him about my plan on how we would foil whatever plan Beck and Cat had in mind. The first part would be simple enough – get Andre involved as our other ally, and then Tori as another (yes, Robbie and I are now allied against Beck and Cat). Once I end the awkwardness with Andre, I'm sure it'll work out. And since Tori is Andre's best friend, and, hopefully, soon-to-be-girlfriend, it shouldn't be that hard to convince her to be on our side either.

The second part would be harder – Robbie and Tori had to tag along with Beck and Cat, pretending that they would help with their plan. They would then somehow have to lead Beck and Cat into school early one morning, claiming that they set Andre up to really get it. There, me and Andre would be together, pretending not to notice anyone there. I would be begging him to stay at his house again, after being kicked out by my parents, because I would pretend that I had nowhere to stay still (which I still don't). And the reason for it being again, is because I wanted Beck and Cat to see that that's why I came to school with him that morning. Of course, I had to tell Robbie about me going to his house, and my parent issues for him to fully understand. But in truth, I really didn't mind, especially if it was for everyone's own good.

The third part shouldn't be that hard either - if Beck and Cat end up questioning why we were being distant that morning, which they almost definitely will, we would just have to honestly tell them about our accidental morning encounter, which I also had to tell Robbie about, since it was the real answer to why Andre and I were really being awkward. Sure, Beck would probably be mad, but come on, it was a complete accident. And knowing his usually chill personality, it'll surely work out in the end, and things will return to normal.

"Wow, that's quite a plan, Jade. So, when do we start?" Robbie asks, when I'm done talking. I smiled, knowing that my plan was flawless.

"Now," I answer. "Come on, we're going over to Andre's." We both get into Robbie's car, and he starts driving. As we passed the deserted streets of Los Angeles at night, I couldn't help but feel relieved, that things would return to normal, real soon.

Andre's POV:

As I lay on my side and stared at my clock, reading 11:15 p.m., I knew I was in for the longest night of my life. So many things had happened, and it was just too much for me to take all at once. I sat up in bed, and decided that there was no sense of trying to sleep, as I knew that I wouldn't be able to. But before I could even decide what to do instead to take my mind off things, my phone rang. Looking at the caller I.D., I could see that it was Jade again. As much as I didn't really want to talk to her, I can't say I wasn't expecting it. After all, far as I knew, she never really did ask Beck today about staying over at his place.

Instead of answering the call though, I open my front door. Sure enough, there she was. Only, Robbie was with her too. I gestured for them to come in, and take a seat.

"Andre, we have to talk." Jade begins, earning nods from Robbie, who was sitting beside her.

LATER (STILL ANDRE'S POV):

"So, hold it, Beck seriously thought I abused you?" I asked Jade, a trace of anger in my voice. I simply couldn't believe that one of my own best friends would think of me that way. I mean, sure, I was acting awkwardly, but that didn't mean I would stoop down to that level. And what made it harder to stomach was the fact that Jade and I just got our awkwardness sorted out, and are back to normal.

"Yeah, and to make matters worse, he has Cat as his ally, and they both want to come up with a plan to revenge you," Jade answers.

I couldn't believe it. Beck, the most chill, laid-back guy I knew, and my best guy friend, is against me. And he's got Cat, another close friend, the most innocent, optimistic girl I've met, as an ally. This was just too much to take. Especially on a night like this.

"So that's why Robbie and I are allied now to stop them. And we need you to join us," Jade adds, as if reading my thoughts.

I didn't want to cause more drama than has already been set forward, but I also didn't want Whatever Beck and Cat came up with to get out of control. I had no choice – I had to be an ally against them. Besides, the anger factor against Beck made it a little easier to agree to it.

"Alright guys," I finally say after a moment. "I'll be part of your plan. So, care to share what it is?"

So, for the next ten minutes, Robbie and Jade took turns telling me about their plan – get Tori involved, have her and Robbie pretend to join the other side, while me and Jade go and pretend to talk about her parent issues and her staying over. Robbie and Tori would lead their group right up to me and Jade talking it out, and they would hopefully see that nothing happened, that I'm actually helping her. I flinched a little at the thought of having to admit to Beck about my awkward morning encounter with Jade, but admitted that the plan was definitely flawless. So, having that cleared out, I invited Jade and Robbie to spend the night at my house, which they happily accepted. Deciding to call it a night, I start walking upstairs to fetch all of us some sleeping bags and pillows for the living room. I pause when I feel my phone vibrate and see that I have a new text waiting.

As soon as I read it, I started sobbing, sitting on the stairs. I couldn't help it; it was way too much of a heartbreak for me to take in any day. Hell, I couldn't live with myself knowing this. Oh god, oh god…

Jade and Robbie must have heard me, because next thing I knew, they were by my sides, trying to comfort me, asking me what was wrong.

"Well, let's say, your perfectly flawless plan hit a loophole," I answer, not wanting to say anymore.

"That's what you're crying about? No offence Andre, but man up! We can work around it. Come on, what part of the plan is loopholed anyways? That I wasn't wearing the right colored shoes when we showed up here?" Jade remarks sarcastically.

I sighed. Clearly, they wouldn't understand with so broad of details. So, in answer, I show them the new text:

TEXT FROM: TORI VEGA

I can't believe you would stoop down to that level. I know Jade can be a nuisance sometimes, but she's my friend, and I can't believe you physically abused her. Anyone who abuses my other friends is no friend of mine. Goodbye Andre, I'm not your best friend anymore. After Beck, Cat, and I get even with you, I do not wish to have anything to do with you any longer. Forget about me. Now pretend you never met me, and I'm not even here. I HATE you.

Your now ex-best friend, and enemy.

AN: Uh oh, more chaos. Tori has now been drawn into the same side as Beck, and hates Andre now. And Robbie, Jade, and Andre are a team. So it's three-against-three. When will this misunderstanding end? Oh Beck, what have you done?

Well, you know what to do - Review please! :)
