HI!! Excuse me, I'm excited. I snagged the first Jat fic position, and now I've written the first Rodre fic. SCORE! Sorry, I was excited. I feel accomplished. –toes out all of the unfinished fics put on the backburner because of Victorious fics- Enjoy :D And another one word title…awesome.

Warnings: Slash, angst, evil-ish Rex (it'll make sense later), some Tori bashing (or just mean!Tori), angst, and general OC-ness I s'pose.

Important Stuff: So, Robbie/Andre established relationship, Rex speaks in italics because technically he's Robbie's inner thoughts…kinda XP

No beta, so all mistakes are mine. I really need a beta…

Apparently, it was breaking news when Tori broke up with Beck. Weren't there better things for people to do than gossip and speculate?

But it wasn't the gossiping about the break-up that was the big deal. No, it was about who Tori went after next that had Robbie worried.

Robbie was known for his anxiety and it was in full force today. He felt like he would vomit at any second.

It was an unofficial fact that Tori would be going after Andre next. She's stolen Jade's boyfriend, so why not steal Robbie's boyfriend next?

But, Robbie allowed himself to be hopeful. If Tori didn't confirm it, then it wasn't true. Those words circled around in his head, calming him down.

Then he'd overheard Tori and Trina talking in the hallway. He was invisible to them, as usual (well, when he wasn't talking and neither wanted something from him).

"Beck just wasn't the right guy for me." Tori sighed. "But Andre's been there for me since the beginning. I think he's the one I like."

"Isn't he dating that dweeb?" Trina made a face.

"Well yeah, but Andre likes me. I figured it out on my first day of school here. Trust me, Andre and I will be dating soon enough."

"Hey, I don't doubt it. That loser is no match for you."

Robbie swallowed hard and quietly walked away. Tori was going after Andre and she knew about Andre's crush on her. God, he was going to be sick…

"You need to calm down!" Rex ordered.

Robbie nodded and took in a few deep breaths. "Right, it's fine. Everything's fine. There's nothing to worry about."

"I'm not saying that. Tori will crush you like a bug. Andre had a crush on her and probably still does."

Robbie chewed on his lip nervously as he headed to the bathroom. He did not want to have this conversation with Rex in the hallway.

"No. Andre's dating me." Robbie hissed as soon as they were in the (thankfully) empty bathroom.

"You're right; he won't break up with you."

Robbie nodded. "Thank you."

"He's too nice. He'll just stay with you out of pity."

"That's not true!"

"Yes it is. What have you got? You're a funny looking loser—"

Robbie looked at himself in the mirror and felt tears welling up in his eyes.

"—you basically have no friends—"

It was true. Beck thought he was an idiot, Cat thought he was mean, Jade hated everyone, and now he knew Tori didn't like him at all.

"—and you really don't—"

"Shut up!" Robbie burst, throwing Rex across the room. Rex hit the wall with a dull thud.

But the voice in his head was still there, calling him an idiot. Now he didn't even have the relief of blaming the terrible words on his dummy. They were his own twisted, insecure thoughts.

Robbie locked himself in a stall and cried.

.:.:Victorious:.:..:.:Victorious:.:..:.:Victorious:.:.

Andre grinned when he saw Robbie in the hall. "Hey, where were you last period?"

Robbie shifted Rex in his arms and shrugged, keeping his red-rimmed eyes down. "Nowhere."

He tried to push past Andre but Andre grabbed his arm. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Robbie, look at me."

Robbie stubbornly kept his eyes down. "You should go out with Tori." He muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Andre demanded, completely confused.

"Date Tori. She's talented and pretty and nice…"

"It sounds like you want to date her."

"Just go out with her ok? It's fine. And she wants you too."

Robbie tried to pull his arm away but Andre refused to let go.

"Are you breaking up with me?" Andre asked.

Robbie debated it for a second. He needed to let Andre date who he wanted to because he really was too nice to break Robbie's heart and go after Tori. Tori was everything that Robbie wasn't. Everything that Andre deserved.

"Yes. I'm breaking up with you."

And this time when Robbie tried to walk away, Andre let him.

DUN DUN DUUUN!! This was supposed to be a simple one-shot but my muse had to turn the angst up 13 degrees.

Reviews are scrumptious!
