Tori's POV

My alarm clock went off the next morning at 6:15. For a moment, I forget where I was. I set up and looked around, my heart pounding hard in my chest. It then occurred to me the day before: December second, was the best day of my life. I had been released from my own personal hell.

The only thing that got me out of bed was knowing that I would be seeing Andre soon. I got out of bed and quickly put my flip-flops on. I pulled a hoodie out of my closet and put it on. I went to the bathroom and ran a brush through my hair. My mouth felt really dry, so I went ahead and brushed my teeth.

Once I was ready, I went downstairs and saw my parents in the living room drinking some coffee. "Good morning," I said with a smile coming down the stairs.

"Why, hello there, Tori." said my mom and she and my dad stood up. They walked over to me and each gave me a big hug. "I know you said you would be waking up this early, but I didn't think you would actually do it."

"I'll do anything for Andre." I said with a smile. "Where are the keys so I can drive to his house?"

My mom giggled and then walked over to the counter and grabbed the keys from the table. She tossed them to me. "Here you go. It's the car you and Trina shared. Trina has had it all this time, but it's back to being half-yours now."

"But what about when she goes back to college?" I asked.

"She's not in college." answered my mom. "She decided to take a year off."

"Oh okay," I said. "Well…I better get going. I'll be back later."

"Bye, honey," said my dad and I walked out the door and to the car Trina and I shared. I sat in it in silence for a moment. Every little thing made me emotional.

I finally got it started and drove to Andre's house. The clock in the car said 6:40 once I arrived to his house. I better hurry before Andre was late.

I jumped out of the car and ran up to Andre's front door. I quickly knocked on the door.

After a moment, the door opened and I saw Andre's mom. She smiled warmly at me. "Well, hi there, Tori," she said. "It's so good to see you."

I giggled. "Hi, Mrs. Harris," We gave each other a hug. I always loved Andre's mom. In fact, I loved his whole family. They were all really sweet, even his grandma. She was just a little nuts in the head.

When we came out of the hug, she said with a smile, "Andre told me you would be waking him up at around this time. You better get in there if you wanna get him up on time."

"Okay," I said with a giggle. She opened the door wider and let me in the house. I walked up the stairs and over to Andre's room and slowly opened the door. The room was dark, but I could still see Andre sound asleep in his bed. "Aww," I said with a smile and walked up to the side of his bed. I turned his bedside lamp on and sat down. "You look so cute." I whispered and rubbed his shoulder. "Hey, Andre, wake up," I shook him. I leaned down and kissed his neck. "Wake up, babe," If that didn't wake him up, I didn't know what would.

Just as I suspected, he started to wake up. He groaned and then yawned. He looked at me and I smiled widely at him. His eyes widened and he set up. "Oh, my God, Tori, you're here!"

I giggled. "Yeah, I told you I would be."

Suddenly, he let out a long sigh. "Oh, my gosh, for that split second, I forgot about yesterday and I thought you were just sitting here on my bed out of nowhere." He let out a huge sigh. "Oh, my gosh, yesterday felt like such a dream." He grabbed me in a tight embrace and held onto me. I wrapped my arms around him and held onto him tightly as well. "I love you so much."

I buried my head in his shoulder. "I love you, too." I tightened my grip on him.

After a moment of hugging, we finally pulled apart. "So…" he started off. "You actually woke up at 6:15 and came to my house to wake me up. I honestly didn't think you would do that."

I shrugged. "I only did it cause I love you."

He smiled. "Aw, thanks, baby." He grabbed onto my hand. "I'd kiss you right now, but I bet my breath stinks."

"Pshh, please," I said. "I went six months without kissing you. I'm not going another day without it." I leaned in and kissed him passionately. I honestly couldn't tell you if he had bad breath or not. All I cared about were his lips on mine.

We stayed there and made out for a couple minutes, but then I heard the door swing open. "Andre, you need to–whoa, I'm sorry,"

Andre and I quickly pulled away and looked at the door. "Mom!" exclaimed Andre. "Don't you knock?"

"Well, normally, but I usually don't come in here at seven in the morning to find you making out with your girlfriend." she said sarcastically.

He sighed. "What did you want?"

"Are you gonna get in the shower?"

"Yeah, I will in a little bit."

"Okay," She cleared her throat. "And…I'm sorry, guys,"

"It's fine, bye," said Andre quickly.

She quickly smiled and then walked out.

"Oh, my God, Andre," I said. "Your mom just walked in on us making out! That's so embarrassing!"

"Tori, trust me, it's fine," said Andre. "My mom doesn't care." He sighed. "Well…I need to get in the shower."

I nodded, a little disappointed. "Okay," I said quietly.

"But, hey, you don't have to leave." he said quickly. "You can wait in here while I take my shower and then when I leave for school, you can go back home. You can wait in here until I get out. No one will come in here."

"Uh…your mom just walked in on us making out." I reminded him.

"That was just because she knew I was in here; she knows I'll be in the shower. She won't come in, okay?" I nodded. "Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and go to the bathroom." He leaned down and gave me a quick kiss. Then he hopped off the bed and went to his closet. He pulled out some clothes and then turned to me. "I'll be out as soon as I can."

I smiled. "I'll be in here."

He grinned and then walked out of the room.

I sighed and looked around the room. I'd been in Andre's room before, but never as his girlfriend. I sat there for a good while and just looked around, but then I eventually decided to look around a little bit. I felt a little nosy, but I didn't care. I knew Andre wouldn't mind. At least, I hoped he wouldn't.

After looking in a few drawers and finding nothing interesting, in one of the drawers I opened, I found what looked like a photo album. The words "My Love" were written on the front in sharpie. I grabbed it and opened to the first page. My heart started thumping extra hard in my chest. It was a zoomed in headshot of me. My face filled up nearly the whole page. "What?" I whispered.

I started to cry as I flipped through the album. It was filled with pictures of me, missing flyers of me, and songs he'd written for me. They all talked about how much he missed me, how much he loved me, and how beautiful he thought I was. There were probably close to thirty songs in there.

I didn't recognize nearly any of the songs, but there were two that I did recognize. They were "Song to You" and "Countdown." I remember that he told me he wrote "Countdown" for one of his old girlfriends, Hope Quincy, but I wasn't so sure now.

A little bit later, Andre walked in his room. I looked up at him with tears streaming down my cheeks. "Hey, I'm out of the shower." He looked at me and his eyes widened in shock. "Oh, my God, Tori…what's wrong?"

I gulped and looked down at the album. I closed it and rubbed my hands on the cover, over the words "My Love." "This album, Andre…I can't believe you made it." I let out a sob. "And…I'm so sorry that I was snooping. It's just…well, I just…I don't know. I don't have any excuses. I'm just so sorry."

"Why are you sorry?" he asked gently. He walked up to me and sat next to me. He put his arm around me and rubbed his hand on my back. "I was gonna show it to you anyway." He reached up with his other hand and wiped away a few of my tears. "But why are you crying?"

"It's just…this album is beautiful." I laid it next to me. "You must have worked so hard on this."

"But I didn't," he told me. "The only work I did was write those words on the cover. Everything after that was effortless. I found pictures of you and missing flyers of you and just put them in there. The songs were also effortless. My feelings were put out in those songs. It helped me not to fall apart daily."

"What do you mean fall apart?" I asked shakily.

He gently grabbed my face in his hands and whispered, "I missed you so much, baby." He leaned in and gave me a kiss. It only lasted a moment, but it was such a sweet kiss.

When we pulled apart, I said, "But…but those songs. They were…amazing." I paused. "And…the song 'Countdown…' I thought you wrote it for Hope. I mean, you even told her you wrote it for her."

He smiled. "Yeah, I did, but I also told her that I liked her to her face and we all know that was a lie."

I blinked a few times. "But…what about 'Song to You?' That was from…our sophomore year."

"Tori, I've loved you from the very first day."

I hadn't thought about my song "Superman" in a good while, but when Andre said that, I instantly thought back to it, which was why I started bawling when he said that.

"Oh, my God, Tori, why do you keep crying?" he asked worriedly. "I feel like I'm making you cry."

"No, Andre, you're not." I told him instantly. "It's just…I've loved you from the very first day. I've wanted to be your girlfriend ever since you came to my house and rehearsed for The Big Showcase with Trina. If it hadn't been for you, I never would have stayed at Hollywood Arts since you convinced me to stay after Jade was so rude to me. Heck, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have gone there at all! It was you who convinced me to go up on that stage and perform 'Make it Shine.'" I shook my head. "I don't wanna sound cheesy or cliché, but…you're the best person I know."

He slowly smiled widely at me. "Aww," He pulled me into his lap. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me. And guess what?"

"Hmm?"

"You're the best person I know," he said.

"Aww," I said. "But wait…" I looked down at him. "I have a question."

"What's up?"

"If you've loved me from the very first day, why did you date so many girls?"

He shrugged. "Why did you date so many guys?"

I sighed. "Never mind,"

He giggled and pushed some of my hair back. "I think the main reason why we dated other people for so long is because we were afraid to admit our true feelings to each other, but mainly, I think it was because we didn't wanna get into a relationship and it not work out and then for us to never speak again. But…it all worked out. Look at us now."

I giggled. "Yeah…look at us now." I leaned down and gave Andre a kiss. When we pulled apart, I said, "Wow, Andre…I haven't even been back for twenty-four hours and we've already kissed countless times."

"Are you complaining?" he asked.

"Nope," I told him. "Kiss away,"

We continued to kiss for a while before he finally had to leave for school. We told each other bye and I went ahead and went home. It felt weird for Andre to go off to school while I headed on home.
