To the anonymous review: This story has been up for a very long time, and I'm pretty sure if a mod comes across it, they won't really care. It's rated T, meaning a little more mature than you. As far as your comment saying that I am making Vic the bad guy, well, my dearest readers, what do YOU think? Did I make Vic the bad guy? Because wishing Avan luck with the girl he loves makes her such a bad guy, right? So, I'm sorry, Anon, do you have a problem with my story? Are you insecure about something? Is that why you're on Anon instead of an actual account? Scared of just logging in and PMing me? Can't write very well (I mean, clearly you can't, but maybe you're worse at writing stories than you are at reviews? I bet it sucks to write at the level of a 6 year old.), or something else that makes you seem incompetent to others?

In conclusion, thanks Anon. Thank you for the lovely review, and thank you for the extra hits on my story. Have a nice day now.

To all other reviewers, thank you for the love, and I apologize for the wait. A lot of stress lately. But I've got a couple of chapters written up. Expect them. Read on, my loves.

It's been far too long since we had an update.

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Victorious, but sometimes I wish I did.


Avan's POV

A few days after the movie with Vic, I arrived at the set to see Eric trying to talk his way past security.
I walked up to him.

"Avan," One of the guards said. "D'you know this guy? He says he's dating Liz. We get a lot of people who say they're dating Liz."

"He's not dating Liz, but yes, I know him. I'll take care of it, guys."

I grabbed his shirt sleeve and dragged him around to the side of the studio.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here?" I asked him as I pushed him up against the brick wall.

"I came to talk to Liz," He muttered, wheezing a little from the force of my arm on his chest.

"No, you didn't. As soon as we get back out front, you're going to get out of here, and you will not come back unless you have a direct invite from somebody in the cast. And I'll know if you do."

He glared at me for a moment before remembering where he was and how I easily had a few inches on him as well as leverage in this situation.

Finally, he nodded.

"You're also going to stay away from Liz, unless she talks to you first, or specifically requests for you to see her or talk to her. I will not have you hurting her again. And this little conversation of ours. Nobody is to find out that it happened. Is this understood?"

He nodded again.

"That's what I thought." I dropped my arm off of his chest and stood there watching him as he wheezed some more before I steered him back around front. I couldn't help feeling a bit like a mob boss or something when I stood in front of him outside the studio, brushing off his shoulders lightly and saying, "Have a great one, Eric."

And I was off to set feeling pretty good.


This chapter is dedicated to Remus'Girl-Jaggie-Bade because I remember her wanting an Eric-Avan confrontation. I apologize if this is not exactly what you were looking for, but it is what popped out of my brain onto cyber-spaper. My new word that combines cyberspace and paper...Anyway, I hope this is satisfactory for you. :)

I apologize again for the wait.
