Outside André paces back and forth.

"I just don't get it, I gave her the biggest platform, the biggest support, I wrote most of the songs on the album yet, You're making a big deal about us releasing on the same day", André says.

"It's an honest mistake, a very coincidental mistake but a honest one nonetheless", Beck says.

"I just don't see why we can't both shine, I guess it's only room for one person to Make It Shine", André says.

"I say just release your album as planned, it's nothing wrong with friendly competition it might actually help the success if both fandoms are listening to the other artist music to see which is better", Robbie says.

"But that's the thing she barely has a fandom", André says.

"Well news flash André, you barely have one either and record executives don't count. You stayed behind the scene so much, they probably don't even know who you are, like it or not you and Tori are in the same boat and should be working together instead of against each other", Beck says.

"And I tried but if it's competition she wants, it's a war she's gonna get", André says.

"But it doesn't have to be that way", Robbie says.

"Well what way can it be Robbie, I told Tori we couldn't be together because I was her manager, now I'm not and instead of trying to get close, she's acting like a jealous brat and see's me as competition instead of a partner", Andre says.

"Well then you need to sit down with Tori and discuss your feelings instead of starting a war", Robbie says.

"You're right, but at this point. I don't care, tell Trina congrats on the baby, I'm out", André says walking away to his car.

"Dude don't leave", Beck yells but André keeps walking.

Him and Robbie exchange looks.

Inside Tori confides with girls on what just happened.

"I just can't believe he would do this to me", Tori says.

"What exactly did he do?", Jade asks.

"Releasing his album the same day as mine", Tori says.

"Ok so what", Trina says.

"So what, did you not just hear Andre's song, releasing the same day as Andre will be career suicide", Tori replies.

"Tori you act like you're releasing the same day as Taylor Swift", Jade says.

"Or me", Cat says.

Tori darts an eye at Cat.

Cat smiles.

"Tori, Andre hasn't released any real music in a long time, his artist career and your career is probably on the same level", Trina says.

"Yours might be bigger than his, I mean your song is already number one right now", Jade says.

"Well not for long, I'll be number 2 once that song he just performed hits the chart", Tori says.

"Tori why do you keep doubting yourself", Trina asks.

"Yeah, you literally have a rebuttal against everything we've mentioned", Cat says.

"I don't know, maybe because I wouldn't even have a career if it wasn't for Andre, and now he's starting his career and he won't have time for me, which means it's most likely the end of our dynamic duo, and we won't be able to ever see if there was anything there between us", Tori says.

The room falls silent.

"Well then this sounds like a conversation you should be having with Andre and not us", Jade says.
