The Hambone King Pt. I (Can't Keep On Loving You)

AN: This was the episode where Jade and Andre hang out together. They seemed to be in a date, but who knew? Victorious was sadly cancelled after 11 or 12 episodes. :(

Anyway, I hope you would love this.

ANDRE

Andre was relieved when the bruise on his face was no longer showing. He really did not want to go to school looking like he got himself into trouble.

Well, he was in trouble though. His best friend had finally found out that he had a thing for his ex.

Andre was conflicted whether he should confess his feelings for Jade or keep it like he had always do.

Andre saw Jade, Cat, and Robbie talking in Asphalt Café. As he approached the three, he looked around them.

"Where's Tori and Beck?" He asked.

Jade just shot a glance at him, "Probably smooching around." She replied.

Andre thought Jade was just faking a front. She had been telling him that she's already fine, but he knew Jade better now.

Andre then cleared his throat before facing Jade, "Hey, uhm, I was wondering if I could talk to you later." He felt his voice shaking, must be because of the nervousness that he was feeling.

Jade continued chewing on the pickles that she put in her mouth and looked intently at Andre, seemingly confused. "Why not now?" She asked.

Andre cleared his throat once again.

Jade's brows the furrowed, "Are you sick or something? Why do you keep on clearing your throat?"

Andre scratched the back of his head, "Uhm, no. It's just that..."

"Just what?" Jade impatiently interrupted.

"There is just something that I want to tell you." He finally mustered.

Jade stared at her, pursed lips, eyebrows raised. "Okay." She casually replied.

When the bell rang, all four stood up and took their bags on the table and went inside the school building.

When the day was finally over, Andre waited for Jade by the stairs near her locker. He stood up when he saw Jade approaching her locker.

"Hey." He greeted.

Jade looked at him as she opened her locker and stuffed some of her things inside. "Hi. How long have you been waiting?"

Andre put his hands on the side pocket, "Not so long." He replied. "So, are you free now?"

"Sure." Jade replied. She then closed the locker to see Andre. "So, what do you want to talk about?" Her arms were crossed.

"Well, I was wondering if you would like to go to Jet Brew. We can just walk there and talk for a while then pick up our cars here after." He suggested.

Jade okayed his suggestion, and they both walked out of the building. The walk was silent. Andre was scared that Jade might notice his wonkiness.

While walking, Andre remembered the song that had been playing in his mind for a while.

How do I get close
When she looks like an angel
A moment of her time just seems impossible to me
It's hard to find the words, to get to know this stranger

It was only lately that Andre had gotten to know the real Jade.

He had known Jade since middle school, and he had always been scared of her. He thought Jade had always been mean, but everything changed ever since that day she helped him write one of the most important songs in his life right now.
