A/N: Before the Wreck. The title says it all. This story is about what happened before the wreck. No one really knows and from my other story I made it out like Rose and Andre were secretly dating and no one knew. Not even Lissa. For those of you who are reading my other story, Love is Enough, you know a little about the relationship. For those of you who haven't read my other story you should check it out. Back to before the Wreck. I wanted to do this story for awhile because I love writing about how Andre and Rose fell in love. I hope you like the story. It's going to start a little bit after Mia and Andre split. This story is going to be fluff. There probably won't be a lot of problems between Rose and Andre, but there will be problems between them and other characters. Don't forget to review!

I'm walking to class with a group of my friends when something hit the back of my head. I turn around and see my sister Lissa and her best friend, or her side kick as my friends call her, Rose. Rose is one of the funniest people I know. She can make a joke up about anything. Once after all of us, as in me, Lissa, and Rose, got in trouble for having a brownie batter war, Rose made this joke about how we all look like we're covered in shit. And even though my parents were yelling at us they were laughing too. I think the only reason they were laughing was because Rose was like, "Great now we look like we're all covered in poo!" Thinking about it now it doesn't seem all that funny but coming from a seven year olds mouth it was funny.

I got lost in my thoughts about Rose and all the ways she's made me laugh before that one of my friends had to hit me over the head. "Dude, what's wrong with you? You're starin' at your sister and her sexy sidekick like you're some kind of love sick puppy. You had this smile on your face and your eyes looked glazed over. Are you sleepin with Rose or are you sleepin' with your sister?"

I turned and punched him in the arm as hard as I could. "I'm not sleeping with either of them. Especially my sister! What do you think I am?" Jesus what is wrong with all my friends?

"Okay...If you're not sleeping with them what's your deal? Do you wanna sleep with one? I mean I understand if you wanna sleep with Rose, but why would you wanna sleep with your own sister?" I'm seriously gonna punch him in the face. Why in the world would I sleep with my sister?

"Dude, shut up. You sound retarded. And don't talk about Rose or Lissa like that again.' I look back over to where Lissa and Rose are standing with a group of their friends. Lissa's talking to some guy who I might be Mason. Rose on the other hand is looking around not paying any attention to what anyone is talking about. She must sense that I'm staring at her because she looks over at me. I wave to her and she smiles and waves back. I think about going over to talk to her until she starts walking towards me. I look at my friends to see if they noticed but they're in a deep conversation about something I could care less about. So I tell them I'll catch up with them later and head towards Rose while my friends head to class.

When I get to where Rose is we both stop walking. She's about a half a foot shorter than me. She has gorgeous dark almost black hair. The deepest brown eyes that anyone could get lost in and the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. I only ever really see that smile when she's with Lissa or when she's with me or my parents but not a lot of people get to see that smile. She's looking up at me and I wonder what she's thinking about. Then she speaks. "Hey, what were you and your friends talking about? Anything interesting? I mean if it's about boobs and girls I personally don't wanna hear about it and you can just keep it to yourself. Anything else though, I'd be more than happy to hear about." She smiles up at me. It's not one of the ones that she hardly gives but it still makes her look beautiful.

"We weren't talking about anything you'd wanna talk about. What were you, Lissa, and...Um...those guys talking about?" Shit I can't believe I forgot Rose's friends' names!

"Mason and Eddie. Lissa and them were just talking about what movie they wanna watch tonight. I personally don't care. I mean Lissa's going to be with Aaron, Eddie's gonna be with someone. Mason will have someone with him, and I'm going to be by myself. Is there any way I can talk you into coming to watch some movie with us so I'm not a loner tonight?" She looks at me with pleading eyes. "Please Ray Ray."

"I guess I could cancel my plans with Adam to come watch a movie with you. But I'm only doing it because you called me Ray Ray. Got it Marie?" She calls me Ray Ray saying it's a cute nick name for Andre. I personally hate it but I let her call me it because that's what she's called me since the first day we met. But if any of my friends call me Ray Ray, I punch them.

"Really? Your gonna call me Marie now? I thought we talked about this. You said you would stop." She looked serious. Well everything looked serious until you looked in her eyes. Her eyes were filled with laughter. Most people wouldn't notice this but I notice everything about Rose. I notice things from a new outfit to a new personality. I know when she's happy and when she's angry just by looking at her. She holds up this facade for everyone. She makes it seem like she's never cracks and she never cries and she never cares about anything. But when she's with me the facade goes down and she lets me see the real Rose. I know what Rose's weaknesses are. I know that she would do anything for Lissa and I know she won't hurt a fly as long as they don't hurt her or any of her friends first.

"Hey Marie. I said I'd stop calling you that when you stop calling me Ray Ray. So what movie are we watching later anyways?" She looks towards Lissa, Mason, and Eddie.

"Who knows? It'll probably be some stupid movie like The Notebook or the Titanic. Uh! I really don't fell like watching either of those movies tonight. After everything that's happened this week. I could go for something a little more violent."

"Don't lie to me. I know The Notebook and Titanic are two of your favorite movies. But what happened this week that you don't want to watch either? You're always up for some cheese romance movie. Why not tonight?" We started walking over to Lissa and the other people. More had joined since before.

Rose stopped and looked at me. "I don't want to talk about what happened this week out here. Maybe to night, or tomorrow or something, but not right now. I don't want anyone else to hear." I nod and we start walking again.

"Andre! What are you doing here?" Lissa looked at me.

"I was just talking to Rose. She invited me to come watch a movie with you guys and I wanted to know what movie we would be watching tonight. Any idea's yet?" I look around the group. They all seem pretty happy. Aaron was one of the people that showed up and he was standing by Lissa holding her hand. Mason was standing by some girl that has brown hair. And Eddie was with some blonde chick. Everyone looks at Lissa because she usually picks the movie.

"Well..." Lissa looks around the group and stops when her gaze meets Aaron's. "I was hoping we could watch the Titanic. What do you and Rose think? Everyone else said they didn't care." Rose looked at me with a look that said 'I told ya so.' I shook my head laughing. "What's so funny? Titanic is one of my favorite movies and one of Rose's favorite movies. I already know Rose is in aren't ya?"

Lissa looks at Rose and Rose looks at me then at Lissa. She gives Lissa a fake smile. "I'd love to watch the Titanic. Who wants to bring popcorn and what time do you wanna meet?"

Since Rose is standing right beside me I lean down and whisper in her ear. "We could always ditch the rest of our classes talk about your week while we watch a scarier movie if you want. I'll even get some left over doughnuts from the cafeteria. But only if you fell like talking. We don't have to."

She looks up at me with one of her rare smiles. "Meet you in your room five minutes after classes start."

"Looks like it's a date." I whisper back to her.

"What are you too whispering about? You're not bailing on movie night are you? That would be horrible. Rose we always have movie night on Fridays." Lissa seemed seriously upset about us not coming to movie night. As if Rose would miss it even if their watching a movie she doesn't want to watch.

"We were just saying that we should probably split now and head to class we only have two minutes to get there. I have to make it to Stan's class. We'll see you around...Seven?" Rose says as she starts walking away. I'm pretty sure she's not even going in the direction Stan's room is, but no one notices. Not even the people who have Stan as a teacher.

"Yeah I have to go to Crazy Karps room. See you guys around seven." I head the same way Rose went and when we're out of sight of the others we stop and head towards my dorm. "So, I'll go get the doughnuts and you go get some comfier clothes on and pick out a movie. Then we'll meet up in my room. And the movie can be anything you wanna watch. See ya in a few!" I wave as I head towards the cafeteria. She heads for her room.

I'm on my way to my room to change and grab a movie. I'm debating on which movie I should grab. Either Nightmare on Elms Street or House of Wax. Those have to be my absolute favorite movies. I love making fun of Freddie because he's so ugly and I love Chad Michael Murray! The entire way back to my room my thoughts went from what movie to grab to Andre.

Andre. He's like my rock. He's the older brother that I never had. I can always count on him for anything. I trust him with my life and with my secrets. I also let my walls down when I'm around him. He's seen me at my worst. I mean Lissa's seen me with my walls down sometimes but hardly ever. I keep them up around her so she feels safe and so she knows that I'll always be there to protect her. There's just something about Andre that makes him hard to get out of my head. I can remember the very first ever conversation I had with him. I was five and he was seven. It was the first time I ever went to Lissa's house. Her mom was in the kitchen and her dad was away. Lissa was in the bathroom getting ready for something. I was sitting in her bedroom waiting for her to get out of the bathroom so we could go play. Andre came into Lissa's room. "Hey Lissa, what are you...whoa you're pretty." That was the first time he's ever seen me. I looked at him a little shocked. "Um...Thanks. You're pretty too." He smiled turned around and walked out of Lissa's room. I didn't know it then but that was the start of one of the best friendships in the world. I also didn't know it would be the start of something bigger than that.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone walking behind me. Turning around I saw Alexandria Conta. She was Jesse Zeklos's girlfriend for the week. "Rose, where are you going? Shouldn't you be with my boyfriend right about now? I mean you always seem to wanna hook up with him whenever he's got a girlfriend. I mean it's been three weeks since we started dating and you haven't been with him yet? Wow, that's a surprise," She was wearing a smile like she was the smartest bitch in the world.

I smiled right back at her. "Actually, I've been hanging out with Jesse for the last two weeks. Just the other night things started getting hot and heavy. Maybe you should check your boyfriend in his room more often." I turned and walked away. None of that stuff really happened. I just said it to get her blood boiling. Yeah me and Jesse fool around and he may have cheated on his girlfriends sometimes, but we haven't messed around in five weeks. Every time I'm with him I start thinking about Andre. I don't know why but I do. I've been trying to avoid him for that reason.

As I'm walking away from Alexandria I get a wicked idea and with that comes my wicked smile. I turn around and look at her. "Oh, and by the way. You might want to go check on him in about ten minutes." Her mouth falls open and hate fills her eyes. Suddenly she whirls around and stomps away in the direction of the boys' dorm.

I finish the walk back to my room. Since I didn't decide what movie I should take I decided to just take both. I found them both on the TV stand across from my bed. I grabbed them and climbed out my window since classes have started and I can't go through the lobby without getting caught.

I turn into shadows of the dark as soon as my feet hit the ground. I'm pretty good when it comes to sneaking around in the day light so I'm awesome when it comes to sneaking around when it's dark out. When I make it unseen to the boy Moroi dorms, I walk along the side to find just the right spot to start climbing. Andre's room is on the second floor near a flower vine thing that goes up the side of the building.

When I get to the spot in the vines that I know is safe, I start to climb up it. When I'm about three feet from Andre's window I call his name. In less than a second he's standing in the window frame looking down at me. "Rose, be careful. Those things are as st—" He broke off when one of the vines I was standing on snapped and I started to slide.

"Shit!" I whisper yelled. "This is my favorite outfit!" I shake it off and start climbing again. This time I made it the whole way without falling. "Here, help me in." I reach my hand out and he grabs it pulling up to his room. "Thanks."

He looks me over before saying, "Are you okay? That was a nasty fall."

"I'm fine. I just ruined my favorite outfit though! I can't believe that happened!" I look down at my outfit. I have on a pair of ripped Hollister jeans, a light and dark grey shirt that ties at the side without a tank top under it with a grey pair of sandals that Andre likes to call my "Gladiator" shoes. The holes in my jeans spit open even more but nothing happened to my shirt.

"Rose you're bleeding." Andre lifts up my shirt a little bit and tight above my left hip is a cut that's about three inches long. "Come here. I'll clean that up for you." He grabs my hand and pulls me into his bathroom. He pulls out Neosporin, a washcloth, and a towel. He cleans the cut with the wash cloth first. Then he dries it with the towel. After he dries it he puts the Neosporin on it and starts looking for something.

"What are you looking for?"

"A band aid big enough to cover that cut. I, err, you don't want it to get infected." He pulls out something that doesn't even look close to a band aid.

"That's alright. I just keep a towel over it while we watch the movies. Oh and by the way can I borrow something comfy? I forgot to change before I came." I grab a towel and walk out of the bathroom.

"Yeah, I'll get them." I lay down on his bed holding to towel to my cut and close my eyes. Something hits my face and I hope my eyes to see a tee shirt and a pair of boxers.

"These babies better be clean or I'm gonna kill you." I laugh holding the boxers up.

"They are. I just got them two days ago. Now go change so we can watch these movies." He picks me up off the bed, throws me over his shoulder and carries me into the bathroom before he sets me on the floor and walks out shutting the door behind him.

I change relatively quickly then head back out to his room. He's laying on his bed in the spot where I was just laying not even five minutes ago. He looks good. He's got on a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. His flat screen TV is already turned on with the main menu up. I walk over to his bed. His eyes are shut and I don't think he has any idea I'm even out of the bathroom yet. I take ten steps away from his bed and start to run at him. As I'm about to jump on the bed he rolls over onto the floor and I land on nothing but blankets and pillows. "Come on! You're no fun!"

"Give it a rest. Maybe next time. Now scoot over so I can lay down too." I scoot over and he lays down beside me.

"Turn on the movie. I'm ready to forget about everything that's going on." He looks at me with a concerned expression. I shake my head saying, "Not now, I'll tell you later." He nods then presses play. "You had to pick this movie first?" He picked Nightmare on Elms Street.

"Hey! If you didn't want to watch it, why'd ya bring it? You know it's my favorite movie!"

"Never mind. Just shut up so I can watch it!" We both stop talking and start watching the movie.
