_Flashback to the meeting_

Seth and Madison walk into the rehab hospital where Jessica has been spending the past 3 months trying to recover from a mental break that caused a lot of riffs between the whole group of them. Madison figured it was just dependency. She was there to kick alcohol and drugs and come back to them but it turned out to be so much deeper than that and now, with the visits it was becoming clear that the alcohol was a call for help and it was good that they intervened when they did.

Seth: "I don't know, Maddie. I don't think she wants me here."

Madison: "She needs you here to work through her issues with you. You're not here to work out relationship issues. She's not even ready to work out her personal issues let alone dive into how she feels about you and the way she left things."

Seth: "Whatever happens in there, I am by her side through all of this no matter what. She deserves that much from me. You know, I can almost just not take anything that happened personally. It was the alcohol talking and that wasn't her in that green room just staring off into space like nobody was talking to her."

Madison: "Yeah. I know. She was pretty fucked up that night."

Seth: "Well, here goes nothing."

He knocks on the big brown door that has Jessica Mendez on a paper sign hanging from it.

Jessica: "It's open."

Seth and Madison walk in.

Madison: "Hey you."

Jessica: "Maddie, thank God you brought Seth with you. I was just talking about him earlier."

She hugs them both.

Seth: "Hey babe. How are you feeling?"

Jessica: "I feel like a wrung out dish rag. I've been up and down the emotional roller coaster more times than I can count on one hand. That first month was a bitch. They wouldn't let me see anyone because they thought it would hinder my healing. What kind of stupid ass shit is that? How can talking to your loved ones hinder your healing? I'd say being locked up in this place by yourself hinders your healing."

Seth: "Well, they want you to be ready to talk to us and that first month is full of ups and downs. They don't want you to run off and hurt yourself or someone else."

Jessica: "I get it. I really do get where they are coming from, but I'm not the type to sit here alone and stew in my own emotional shit. I've never been that type. I'm expressive and I heal better when I can talk to someone about how I am feeling 24/7 not once in every whenever they feel like allowing it."

Madison: "They obviously think you are ready for us now. We've been talking religiously for at least 2 and half months now."

Jessica: "Yes and those talks are the reason I'm not bat shit crazy running around on pills. I just wish Roxy would pull her head out of her ass and return at least one of my god damn phone calls. That bitch is ignoring every time I call her."

Madison: "Do you really blame her? She was just here not that long ago and I'm pretty sure she went through the same kind of stuff you're going through."

Jessica: "She has no idea what I am going through. She has no idea if anything they are doing is similar to what they did to her. She won't talk about any of it with me. It's been like trying to talk to that plant over there in the corner. Even the plant eventually needs water or sunlight."

Madison: "She has been busy at work."

Jessica: "And you and Seth haven't been busy at work? Dean even made time to come talk to me and visit. Dean is her boyfriend and they live together. There is no excuse why she couldn't catch a ride with any of you and talk to me or at least return a text or acknowledge my messages. She's avoiding me and she knows it. There is no other reason why she doesn't come to see me."

Seth: "She'll come around eventually. It's not easy to revisit these places once you've been behind the curtain."

Jessica: "I suppose that's probably true, but there is no excuse why she isn't returning my messages or calling me. That's avoiding me at all costs. She has no intention of making things right with us. She wants to hold on to the image of me with Dean in her bed drinking Jack Daniels and making non-sensical solutions to the world's problems."

Seth: "Or maybe she is holding on to the image of you in the green room saying we were all dead to you and had no clue where you were coming from because if we did we wouldn't be trying to force you to change yourself. Remember that?"

Jessica: "I never said any of you were dead to me."

Seth: "Yes you did and you made it quite clear that you wanted nothing to do with any of us because we wanted to help you and get you the help you needed."

Jessica: "I needed the help. Why would I push any of you away for trying to get through to me? That's not even what I remember. I remember you guys in the green room talking to me and I was drunk because I didn't want to face you or any of the emotions that were going through my head at that moment. I knew I had to talk to you one on one and I knew it was going to get heated and I could possibly lose you and at the moment, I didn't want to lose anyone. I just wanted to go back to how things were before Broken Jessica even walked into my life from that WWE writing room."

Madison: "Broken Jessica was never meant to be a stab at you or to keep you off the WWE radar. I hoped it would help you work through some of the strange things you were going through at that moment. I thought it could be an outlet for you to creatively express yourself and maybe poke a little fun at yourself."

Jessica: "It helped me poke a little fun at myself all right. It poked so much fun that people didn't even take me seriously at all. I was a huge joke out there in the ring and all of that hard work that I put in over the years went straight out the window. I was no longer the rocker who broke the glass ceiling and stole the brass rings. I was comedy relief and people hated me. That's not where I wanted to go and you knew that's not who I was and still you agreed with Charlie and any other head writer who came down and kept feeding me that broken shit even after Jeff said something to you about it being a rip off of his brother's character."

Madison: "Jeff never told me it was a rip off of Matt's character and Matt never said it either. Nobody said anything like that to me. I simply was trying to give you a new character to explore. I am sorry if it stepped on The Hardy's toes and I am sorry if it caused you more emotional pain then it did joy."

Jessica: "I forgive you. I forgive all of you and I apologize for my wrong doings and for hurting you all with my sick words. Obviously I don't think any of you are dead to me and I am grateful that you all got me here one way or another."
