ENDING B
CHAPTER 6
"Jade, first of all, we have to uncover your mom's eyes" Tori commented. "She needs to realize the beast Nick really is"
"I don't know... She is gonna lose her mind" Jade responded. "What if she starts hating me after this?"
"No, of course not she would have to be mad to hate you for being raped, she is just gonna beg you to forgive her I'm sure" Beck affirmed.
"So when are we gonna show her?" Robbie asked.
"When is she coming?" Tori asked Jade and she took a deep breath.
"She said that she and my dad would come today to talk to my therapist..." Jade informed.
"Your dad's coming too? Great, he also needs to see what really happened" Beck commented and Jade looked down.
"You don't have to be ashamed, Jade" Tori affirmed.
"Yeah, you say it because there isn't a video of you being raped by your mom's boyfriend" Jade responded coldly.
"Tori is right, you don't have to be ashamed but your parents do, they're gonna regret not believing you and not paying enough attention" Andre said.
"But wait, are we gonna show them the video with Nick here?" Cat asked.
"Melissa said he is not coming today" Jade informed.
"So it's done, it'll be today then, today everyone will know what really happened that night"
Later that day Melissa and Richard went to the clinic as they had promised, to talk to Jade's doctor so she was taken to the therapist's office with them. "Good afternoon, please take a seat" The doctor said nicely and they all sat down.
"Alright, it's been awhile since Jade got here so I want to know how she is doing" Jade's father said.
"Of course, well, unfortunately we haven't had any progress with her...she seems to refuse to improve" The doctor commented. "We've realized that she doesn't take her medicine so that's not helpful either because those pills prevent her from feeling depressed"
"Jade, why?" Richard asked upset but Jade didn't respond, she was just there listening and feeling annoyed.
"Honey, you need to cooperate" Melissa commented.
"Yes, she does, mental illnesses such as depression need to be battled from the inside and if the patient doesn't want to get better then she won't" The doctor affirmed. "This information is not meant for you to yell at her, okay? You need to understand that by screaming at her you're just gonna make things worse"
"Then what am I supposed to do? Do you want me to put a gun to her head and force her to take the medicine?" Richard asked slightly angry.
"She might as well pull the trigger" The doctor responded and Mr. West exhaled unhappily as he looked at Jade. "What she needs is to feel supported; I've noticed she feels some kind of rejection from you two"
"Rejection? But honey, you know we love you" Melissa affirmed and Mr. West nodded, he wasn't so good at saying how he felt but he did love his daughter.
"I don't know how things are in your house but she definitely feels she doesn't have your support so I advise you to work on that, okay?" The doctor said and they nodded. "Good, that's all, I'll see you soon" He said and shook their hands, after that Jade and her parents walked up to her room.
"Jade, what did you say to that doctor?" Richard asked as they walked.
"Nothing" Jade answered emotionlessly.
"No, don't tell me you said nothing to him because he was obviously judging us" Richard commented upset. "I've always given you what you need, it's unbelievable, you try to kill yourself and I'm the bad guy" He said madly but Jade only sighed while rolling her eyes.
"Richard, please..." Melissa said.
"No, Melissa, Jade needs to understand that what she did was wrong and she can't excuse herself by throwing the guilt at us" Richard affirmed. "Listen, young lady, I am paying a fortune for you to be in this place and I'm not gonna let you waste it"
Jade spent the whole way listening to her parents arguing and then basically yelling at her but she didn't even care, when they stepped into her room Melissa and Richard saw Jade's friends waiting there. "What are you all doing here?" Melissa asked confused.
"We are here to show you both something that will change your lives" Tori said.
"I don't have time for this" Richard said. "Jade, you better start cooperating or I might have to consider sending you to a less comfortable clinic, maybe then you'll appreciate what you have now" He threatened and Jade's friends looked at each other upset.
"You know what? The only one who should appreciate what he has is you" Beck affirmed.
"Excuse me?" Richard asked offended.
"You two need to see this, let's see if after you do, you feel the same way about everything you're saying now" Beck said.
"What is it?" Melissa asked.
"It's... it's a video of what happened the night Jade almost died" Tori informed and Melissa and Richard looked at each other and then at Jade, who was looking down.
"You have a video?" Richard asked surprised and they nodded. "And why would I want to see my daughter trying to kill herself?"
"You do, believe me" Beck affirmed. "If you don't see it now you'll never understand why it's so important"
"What are they talking about, Jade?" Melissa asked Jade and she looked at her not knowing what to say.
"It's...nothing, you're right, It's not important" Jade said, she wasn't sure about having her parents watch what had happened. "You should probably leave now"
"What?" Melissa asked confused. "Jade, what's in that video?"
"You don't need to see it, it's just me crying and slicing my wrists...you don't need to see that, right?" Jade commented.
"Jade, stop it" Beck demanded. "You know they have to see what really happened." He said and she shook her head.
"No, Beck, please... don't do this" Jade said. "Mom, dad, go" she ordered and it really caught her parents' attention the fact she didn't want them to see it but her friends thought it was important.
"I wanna see it" Melissa said as she looked at Jade and she stared back at her nervously.
"Alright, let's see it then" Mr. West said and they proceeded to sit down on the edge Jade's bed, she was standing behind them right in front of the door and Robbie put the laptop on the table, he moved it to set it in front of them and proceeded to play the video.
Richard and Melissa weren't so convinced about watching it but they had nothing to lose so they did, they saw Jade alone at first so her mother smiled but then Nick appeared.
"Nick? But he didn't tell me he was in the house that day" Melissa commented but they didn't say anything, she saw how Jade rolled her eyes and it didn't surprise her but then when she saw Nick trying to hug her and kiss her, she got confused and surprised and it just got worse as the conversation went on.
"What is he doing?" Mr. West asked upset.
"Do you really think I would EVER be with you? You're my mom's fiancée and even if you weren't, you're just... disgusting, you could be my father" Jade said and Melissa nodded, she was just so confused by the whole thing just like Richard. "But I'm not and don't mention your mother, she is not important... this is about us, sweetheart, we could do many fun delicious things together" Nick responded and Melissa cringed.
"And you're gonna marry that man?" Richard asked her angrily.
Melissa and Richard watched everything, they saw how Nick strangled Jade and forced her to kiss him and their mouths dropped. "Stay away from me" Jade said and Melissa shook her head disconcertedly as Richard felt really angry. "You're not a little girl anymore, Jade, you've grown up and it's time for you to know what life is about, I will make you a woman, You've been asking for it, honey, you wouldn't wear such lovely sexy outfits if you didn't want me to see you in them, you caused this, you caught my attention since day one, every time I looked at you I just wanted to rip your clothes off, I imagined what would be like to be in bed with you and I promised myself you would be mine someday" Nick said, Melissa just couldn't believe it and Richard just wanted to beat the hell out of Nick.
"What the hell?" Melissa asked completely shocked, she saw how Nick pushed Jade back and then pinned her against the wall while kissing her and then how Jade cut him the scissors before running out of the room, Melissa couldn't believe her eyes, the man she loved was actually harassing her daughter.
"He said that he had cut himself cooking" Melissa commented sadly and angrily.
"Well, you're seeing the bastard lied" Richard said angrily.
They watched Nick bringing Jade back into the room and dropping her to the floor, it was so horrible to see Jade kicking and Nick making her bend over the desk as he took her top off and made her open her legs. "Oh my god" Melissa said appalled by what she was seeing, she then watched Jade hitting him and running to the phone but Nick caught her again.
"My mom is going to know about this" Jade threatened but Nick only laughed and it made Melissa so mad. "Yes and she won't believe you this time either, just face it, no matter what you say she is never going to believe you and you know what? I actually think that if she knew about us she would hate you but she'd stay with me" He said and Melissa looked down with tears streaming down her face, she felt so much anger, disappointment and regret for not believing in her daughter, she only wanted to yell at Nick how miserable and worthless he was.
"Did you know about this?" Richard asked Melissa madly and she didn't know what to say, Jade was just staring at the computer from behind and reliving every moment, it was so hard for her to be there.
They saw how Nick slammed Jade against the floor and then kicked her and it made them so angry. "Son of a bitch" Richard said angrily as he watched his daughter gasping for air.
"You are going to be with me tonight, Jade and I swear it'll be the best night of your life, you'll never forget it" Nick said and Melissa shook her head still not believing her eyes.
"Don't hurt me please" Jade said terrified but it was obvious that Nick enjoyed her fear. "NO, PLEASE, NO, NOOO, NO, STOP" Melissa and Richard watched completely appalled how Nick took off Jade's stockings and kissed her as she fought him and Melissa started crying even more.
"Oh my god" Melissa said with lots of tears running down her face, Mr. West also had some tears in his eyes, it was so hard to see that happening to Jade, he had no idea it'd been happening.
"I've waited for so long for this moment" Nick said and Melissa closed her eyes in sadness, pain and rage. "Ah...ah...ah IT HURTS STOP" Jade screamed and cried as he raped her and Melissa covered her mouth shocked as she shook her head.
"No..." Richard said feeling the rage running through his body, they were so lost in the video that they forgot Jade was in the room too.
Jade's face immediately changed when she saw and heard herself being raped, lots of tears started streaming down her face and she couldn't take it anymore, she opened the door and walked out of the room quickly, she just couldn't stand living the nightmare again through the video.
"Oh no..." Beck whispered and went after her while Richard and Melissa watched the video, they saw Nick forcing Jade to sit on him and to see her desperately crying like that in front of the computer was too much for them.
"Dear god..." Richard said sadly, he felt so impotent.
"My poor baby..." Melissa said while crying.
"Don't fool yourself into thinking that somebody actually cares about you, deep inside you know it's not true, your mother would much prefer to kick out of the house than to break up with me, most of the time your dad doesn't even remember you exist..." Nick said as he raped her and it made them feel so guilty, Melissa shook her head and Richard looked down ashamedly because it was true, he barely ever talked to his daughter. "You're having sex with your mother's fiancée, Jade, if anyone knew about this they would think I'm a bastard but they would also think you're a dirty prostitute and despite you, including Beck"
"THAT'S NOT SEX, YOU ARE RAPING HER, YOU FUCKING BEAST" Melissa screamed angrily.
"Please leave me alone, please, I won't tell anyone I swear but please, please, leave me alone" Jade begged and Melissa felt her heart was being ripped into pieces just like Richard's. "I can't take it anymore, please, I am not gonna say anything, I promise"
"He is gonna pay, I swear to god" Richard affirmed with tears running down his face.
"Shut the hell up" He said madly and Melissa stared at the screen upset, they saw how Jade tried to drag herself off the bed but he stopped her, tied her and continued raping her while covering her mouth, to see Jade crying and desperately trying to scream like that was too much for Melissa, she couldn't handle what she was seeing.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" They saw how Nick suffocated Jade against the mattress and then how he covered her mouth with tape, it made them feel so impotent to see him raping Jade as she cried that they just couldn't keep going.
"That's enough!" Richard exclaimed, meanwhile outside the room, Jade had run to the end of the hall and she was crying her eyes out.
"Jade..." Beck said sadly as he walked up to her, she was sitting in the corner crying into her lap.
"I can't do it, I'm sorry but I can't" Jade said sincerely and he hugged her.
"No, I'm sorry... We shouldn't have made you go through this; you don't need to see that" Beck commented.
"It doesn't matter, it's never getting out of my head, every time I close my eyes I see him" Jade informed and he closed his eyes sadly as he stroked her hair. "I hate him; I hate him so much and I hate myself because he is never gonna get off me..."
"Sh, sh... no, don't say that, you have no guilt on this, Jade, okay? You'll get through it, I'm sure" Beck affirmed and stayed with her, he didn't want her to keep seeing that video.
Back in the room the gang had convinced Jade's parents to keep watching and so they did, they saw everything. "You finally look like you're supposed to, like a whore" He said and Melissa exhaled full of rage while Richard pressed his fist.
Jade's parents saw how Nick kept her tied in her bed and molested her for about two hours but the guys skipped that part because it was too long, they then saw him raping her for the second time and more tears started streaming down their faces but Melissa was glad that at least he had drugged her halfway through the second rape and she had passed out.
"Damn son of a bitch, damn bastard!" Melissa exclaimed angrily as she watched him raping Jade.
Beck and Jade thought the video was over so they came back to the room and realized it wasn't, they and her parents saw her body dropping to the floor when he moved away. "Let's go..." Beck whispered on Jade's ear so they would exit again but she shook her head, she didn't know what had happened after that and she wanted to find out, she could see herself laying on the floor after he'd finished and it made her so angry because he'd treated her like an object.
Jade and her parents saw him dressing up and then dressing her up again to make her look like nothing had happened, Melissa still found it hard to assimilate that the man she'd been with for so long was capable of doing that so cold bloody.
"Oh Jade, what a shame that everything has to end like this but you brought it on yourself, you refused to cooperate, I came here hoping you would finally stop being a rude bitch but I had a plan in case you didn't. I was sure you would be mine tonight and it happened, the wait was so worth it, too bad I can't take you with me, too risky but that's fine, I got what I wanted" He said and Melissa shook her head madly as she pressed her fist just like Richard, she was so angry with him and with herself that she couldn't take it, they saw how he calmly started making their daughter take the pills while talking to her about how he found the perfect way to rape her and get away with it and Melissa just wanted to kill him.
"Suicide, Beck told me how to kill you without getting in trouble..." He said and Jade immediately got confused. "He must be tired of you so I'm doing him a favor too, it's a win-win situation" Nick said and Jade looked at Beck slightly hurt, she stared at him for a couple of seconds and then started looking down while thinking about it sadly. Beck saw the look in her face so he grabbed her jaw gently to make her look at him and shook his head but she didn't know how to feel.
Melissa and Richard then watched how he sliced her wrists and covered her with the sheets without any kind of regret and it was like all the love she felt for him had turned into hatred, Jade was just watching and deeply wishing he'd finished her that day.
"If I can't have you, nobody will" He said and Beck looked down angrily just like Melissa and Richard.
"Now I just have to pretend to be deeply sorry for your death for a few weeks until your mother gets over it, then I'm gonna marry her, we'll have more kids and you'll be nothing but a very sweet and tragic memory "He looked so pleased with what he had done that it made Melissa furious, she watched him as he attempted to kill her with a pillow and she stared at the screen full of rage and sadness. "No, this is not necessary, you'll die slowly and when you wake up you'll be in hell, good night, honey..." Nick said chuckling and Melissa and Richard could feel their blood boiling inside their bodies, they were about to explode, then they saw him calmly walking out of the room and Robbie stopped the video.
"That's how we found her" Robbie informed and Melissa broke out crying while Richard tried to assimilate what he'd just seen, he stood up and turned around to see Jade standing near the door, she was too ashamed to look at them so she was looking down sadly.
"Jade, honey!" Melissa exclaimed and ran up to her; she hugged her and started crying her eyes out. "I'm so sorry, god, please forgive me, I'm so sorry" She said sincerely. "I promise things are going to be different...I just, oh my god, please forgive me, honey, I know I don't deserve it but I need you to forgive me"
Jade didn't really know what to say to her mother, she was angry but at the same time she knew her mom was being sincere and she needed her so she hugged her back. "Mom..." Jade said and Melissa smiled while crying, she started kissing her daughter's face and looked into her eyes.
"I'm sorry, baby, things are gonna change I promise, everything will be different" Melissa affirmed and Jade nodded.
"Jade..." Richard said when he reunited the courage to speak and Melissa broke the hug because she knew he also needed to talk to his daughter. "Jade, look at me" He demanded but she was ashamed so he grabbed her face gently and made her look up. "I'm sorry" He said sincerely and her eyes started filling with tears. "God, I'm so sorry" He exclaimed and embraced her as tightly as he could so she hugged him back.
"I've never been there for you when you needed me and you have no idea how much I regret that now, today more than ever" Mr. West said with tears streaming down his face and then looked into his daughter's eyes. "I love you, honey, I love you more than my own life and I am the worst father because I've never shown you that love but you're not alone, okay? What that man said to you is not true" He affirmed and Jade nodded slowly with tears streaming down her face. "Oh Jade..." He kissed her forehead and then hugged her again.
When everyone had calmed down Jade turned to Beck and simply stared at him. "What did he mean when he said you gave him the idea? Did you know what he was gonna do to me?" Jade questioned, anger and sadness dripping from her voice.
"What? Of course not, how can you even suggest that?" Beck questioned clearly offended.
"Then what did he mean? How could he know that you're tired of me?" Jade asked and Beck shook his head.
"He meant that i told him what our play was about, remember? He asked and i said we were writing the suicidal girl's case, that's it and he couldn't have known because that's not true, I am not and i have never been tired of you" He affirmed.
"He is telling the truth, Jade" Cat added and Jade took a breat as sat down on the bed and her parents next to her. "Jade, you didn't seem surprised when Nick came into your room, why? Has it been going on for a while?" Richard asked and Jade nodded.
"Yes, it's been going on since my mom started dating him" Jade answered.
"What? And why didn't you say anything?" Richard questioned confused and Jade looked at Melissa, who only looked down and shook her head sadly.
"She did...but I didn't believe her" Melissa confessed ashamedly.
"What? She told you and you didn't believe her?" Richard questioned angrily and Melissa nodded with tears in her eyes. "You're unbelievable, Melissa, what the hell is wrong with you?"
"I'm sorry, I just... I thought she was lying" Melissa explained. "I'm a monster; I don't deserve to be a mother"
"I agree, if it weren't for you Jade wouldn't have gone through that" Richard affirmed madly. "I hope you're happy now" He said and Melissa continued crying, Jade was just looking at her friends not really knowing what to say. "But Jade, why didn't you tell me what was going on? I would've done something about it"
"I don't know... I thought you wouldn't care" Jade confessed and he closed his eyes sadly.
"How could I not care about my daughter being sexually harassed?" Richard asked.
"I wanted to move to your house because Nick's harassment was getting worse, he tried to touch and kiss me all the time and he even hit me once, Tori saw that" Jade commented. "Anyway, when I asked Brittany if I could move in she said no and I knew you would also say no, am I wrong?" She asked and he looked down.
"No, I would've said no... You're right" Richard admitted ashamedly. "I'm sorry, Melissa, I shouldn't have yelled at you, I'm as guilty as you are"
"No, this is all my fault, I forced Jade to live with him, I didn't believe her and I basically encouraged him to hurt her" Melissa affirmed.
"It doesn't matter who is guiltier, it all happened anyway, I was raped and you won't change that"
Now everyone knows yay!
