But Where's Your Heart?

ANDREA'S POV

~after leaving Vic's house~

"Hey aunt Caro , thanks for picking me up"

"No problem sweets, how've you been doing? Is your mom alright?" She said as she started the car.

"Yeah we're good"

See, I love my aunt Carolyn but her and my mom fell out a couple years ago but I always kept contact. I knew that if I argued with my mom, she would be there waiting for me with open arms.

When we arrived at my house I got out and she drove off quickly. I walked in and up to my room where I got changed into comfortable clothes and layed there.

If I'm being completely honest, I feel really guilty for only saying goodbye to Tony and not Vic. I know the others didn't even notice but I saw how Vic's expression changed when I didn't say anything to him but my aunt was already waiting outside so I couldn't go back, only couples do that. I guess I'll make it up to him tomorrow.

TONY'S POV

When I got in the car, Vic didn't say anything and remained that way until I kept shuffling around; begging for him to say something.

"Tony can I ask you something?"

"Uh yeah sure"

"But you must answer in all honesty"

"Um ok"

"Do you, like Andrea? Like, really like her?"

Well that was straight forward. I've had this argument with myself for a while and I have come to the conclusion of yes I do but there's no way in hell she feels the same.

"Maybe just a-a small crush" I said blushing a bit. "Why?"

He was silent for a moment then when we stopped at a red light, he turned towards me but avoided my eyes.

"Tony I think I like her, like really like her, and I thought she did too but lately I've noticed she's been really flirty and cute around you and today, well today... She was literally all over you, "helping" you with you tuning and I was really just hoping that you didn't feel that way about her because then I really wouldn't have a chance" he blurted out at once.

I was taken away by this. Vic? Jealous of me? I was expecting and alien invasion before that happened. I took my hat off, ran my hands through my hair, then put it back on.

" Vic, I really do think you're just over reacting, I mean, my tuning was off and she plays guitar too so she helped me. And like I said, it's just a small crush, I think you have more feelings for her than I do" I lied, I do have strong feelings for her and what Vic told me only gave me hope but I can't say that right now, that could only end horribly.

He finally looked at me then shook his head.

"Tony I really have feelings for her" but so do I "I know a lot of things about her, and believe me when I say it's a lot but I want to help her so badly, I.... I think I love her"

His last words surprised me. Although, he probably does know more about her than i do, and i cant say that i love her, yet, there's something about her that makes me drawn to her, just her warm personality is so welcoming, it's impossible to not love her. And like Vic said, there's so much more to her, good and bad, but i want it, i want her. If she's broken, it's ok because I am too, and maybe we can fix each other.

"Tony, can you promise me that if she asks you out that you'll say no"

Now that surprised me even more. Vic calling dibs? I would've never guessed. I stayed silent for a while longer, unsure how or if to answer.

"Tony, if you're my friend, you're gonna say no, right?" he said as we pulled into my driveway.

"Vic...." I didn't look him in the eye, I couldn't. I just got out of the car and went into my house without another word.

I feel horrible. But if I get the chance I will act on my feelings. But maybe I'm being selfish. I mean honestly, who's better for Andrea? I know for a fact that Vic is the kindest, funniest, most understanding person on the face of the earth. And what am I? A good guitar player? Maybe I should say no, or maybe I should just not talk to her at all. That would help getting over her right? But what if she genuinely has feelings for me? Never mind, I just remembered how much of a pathetic bastard I am. Well I guess it's settled, no love for me.

VIC'S POV

I fucked up. Why did I tell Tony all that? Most the stuff I told him are things I haven't even admitted to myself yet. But he's gonna think I'm crazy for telling not to ask her out and not to accept her invitation. But they are a perfect match. I know that with everything she has been through that Tony is the perfect guy to talk to because their stories are similar. Plus he's a great listener, he's sweet and polite, he's understanding and although he's pretty fucking mature for his age, he's still a little childish Turtle. And that exactly what she needs. Maybe I'm just being selfish. I'll apologise to him tomorrow.

ANDREA'S POV

~next day at school~

As I closed my locker, I saw Vic walking towards his. And I woke up on the most amazing part of my bed this morning so I did what I felt was best.

I ran up to Vic and gave him the best hug in the world.

He was really tense for a second but he still hugged back.

"Hey Vicky!" I said with all the happiness in the world.

"Um hey, what's up with you?"

"Nothing, today is just a fucking great day!"

"Now come on you're gonna be late!" I said grabbing his hand and running to his locker so can get his things.

He opened it and occasionally glanced over at me while I was tapping away at the other lockers.

"Andie are you sure you're ok?"

I stopped and turned to him.

"Oh please Vic, just because you're a grumpy goose doesn't mean other people can't be happy!" I tapped his nose with a "pop" sound effect then giggled and ran to class and waited for his there. He's so silly.
