"so Jade how ya doing with the whole marriage thing, you seemed a little stressed out last week" asks Tori
"it's just all happening now and I don't know what I got myself into, I mean I'm beyond excited because Robbie actually ok'ed my six year old me wedding idea, which is insane because it's basically a fairytale wedding, no joke I'm literally ordering a fairytale princess dress, I have to lose ten pounds but hey its two years away minimum so it's doable" says Jade
"you know Cat and I are having a small wedding, friends and family only with one plus one only, so maybe fifty people, maybe less because a lot of Cats extended family doesn't like me for some reason" says Tori
"it's the whole bisexual thing trust me, my uncle found out I had a crush on Cat at one point and he called me a bunch of sexist names, like seriously if you don't like the thought of me being even curious about girls then get the hell out of my life, I don't need people bringing me down" says Jade
"wait you had a crush on Cat" asks Tori
"ya for about six months two years ago, we had a ballet class together because she begged me and she didn't want to do it alone, God the way that outfit hugged her body I was drooling like a fool, it took every muscle in my body to keep focused, it's not that I loved her per say I think it was more the tutu, she picked a velvet lined one that basically forced me to grip harder, I got a pretty good idea of what her butt was like without even looking as well as her girls, I have no idea how I made it out of that class in one piece" says Jade
"so even though you were crushing madly on Robbie you still felt something for a girl" says Tori
"I'm a gem, I have many sides to me Tori, that fake date Sikowits forced us to do to bond for that play worked a lot more that I let on, I was licking my lips for about two days, thinking about how I should have replaced that sushi with my tongue, that it would have shut everyone up, but the feeling passed, it's happened about four or five times over the course of my teenage years and it freaks me out every… single… time, I've lost friends because of it, it's why I loved my mean streak self because It limited how many people tried to be my friend, it wouldn't matter how I looked at girls in sexy dresses or skirts, because I was the mean girl people became afraid to confront me about it" says Jade
"so it wouldn't freak you out that I definitely genuinely enjoyed that fake date then" says Tori
"no I always knew you were different, there was just something about how you cared about Cat that tipped me off that you might be gay, also the way you absolutely wouldn't back down on trying to be my friend, to be frank I didn't understand at all why I was jealous of you crushing on Beck because at the end of the day he wasn't my end goal Robbie was, I'm still in disbelief of the ring he chose, it's so me I can't even, I just can't even….. finish that sentence apparently, I'm just so darn excited, I'd love to just get married today but then I'd be robbed of my fairytale dream wedding" says Jade
"you can always just have a mock wedding when that dress arrives, if you want to get married today then go do it, there isn't anything stopping you Jade" says Tori
"it's just I don't know what we'd even do after is the main thing, my parents are over the moon that I'm so happy, they never thought to tell me what happens after a wedding, like are we supposed to buy our own house or do we get an apartment or can we actually just stay here, I just don't know" says Jade
"where's Robbie anyway" says Tori
"out buying a cake for our one month fiancé-aversary, he's making such a big deal over the first month of us being engaged" says Jade as Cat walks over
"has he ever mentioned how he crushed on you like that" says Cat
"um actually no" says Jade
"when is his birthday this year" asks Cat
"wait we got engaged on his birthday…….., is that why he's making such a big deal about it" says Jade
"indeediedo, and people call me blind, he hasn't really celebrated it the past three years as it is but to get engaged on his birthday, you have to realize that kiss you gave him as a present on his fourth birthday meant that he started mega crushing on you" says Cat as Robbie arrives
"happy one month fiancé-aversary" says Robbie excitedly
"how could I forget your birthday babe, of all things that I could possibly forget how could it be your birthday" says Jade
"my birthday doesn't matter, age is only a number, I haven't had such an exciting birthday since I was four when you kissed me, I didn't kiss back not because I didn't like you but that I was just so shocked that a five year old cutie kissed me" says Robbie
"awwwwwww you thought I was cute back then" says Jade blushing
"beyond cute but I didn't have any word cuter than cutie, I knew cat would never love me that way so it didn't matter" says Robbie
"hey now just because I got engaged to puppylove here doesn't mean in any way that I didn't love you Robbie, I've always just been in love with the female body, I can't explain it, when Tori and I would do our slap video things it felt like she was mine, she'd kiss me on the cheek after every one then she'd hug me every chance she got at school, had things gone differently Robbie I'd have for sure asked you out" says Cat
"can you explain the velvet lined ballerina outfit that had me stammering for six months then" says Jade
"call it a social experiment, I love soft cute things, besides it was a dry run for having a girl or guy touch my butt, I worked out for two months just for that test Jade, watched what I ate or drank and I got a toned ass flies body out of it, Tori wasn't at the school at the time or I'd have had begged her" says Cat
"so you in no way shape or form had feelings for me and/or got a laugh out of watching me drool over you" says Jade
"oh it's a definite yes to both unfortunately" says Cat
"who in this house doesn't have a crush on me but chose otherwise" says Jade
"Lizzie, Erica, Ryder, Trina, Molly, Abigail, yup that's about it" says Cat
"damn you Cat, you actually asked people that question didn't you" says Jade
"indeediedo I did, what am I not supposed to cover your ass or something, we don't want someone saying stop the wedding because they regret not dating you at some point do we" says Cat
"I noticed an extreme lack of beck on that list Cat" says Jade
"he screwed up, he missed his chance to stake his claim on that ass Jade" says Cat
"I've noticed a stunning abundance of Cat saying ass lately" says Robbie
"meh it's a phase Robertus, I'm super pumped for your wedding, am I not supposed to grow my language or something, do you guys really expect me to stay sixteen forever, that would make sex with Tori quite awkward if I didn't grow up" says Cat
"Kitty Bitty you promised you wouldn't call Robbie that anymore" says Tori as Jade smirks
"what's so funny Jade" says Trina as she walks up confused
"that's his actual name, Robertus Franklin Shapiro, it's actually kinda cute" says Jade
"Jadey you promised you wouldn't tell anyone that" says Robbie upset
"I'm sorry Babe but I can't help it, seeing you blush and cry turns me on, is it wrong ya probably but I can't change who I am at my core Babe, I'll always be a bit messed up that way" says Jade embarrassed
"wait you let him call you Jadey, is there a chance it's Jadey poo" snickers Cat
"it is actually, look I enjoy his playful nicknames, I'm just not creative enough to make one for him" says Jade
"what's one thing you like about him more than any other" says Cat
"I love everything about him equally, you can't make me choose like that, it wouldn't be fair to him" says Jade
"ok Cat let's flip the question so Jadey might have an example, what do you love about Tori above everything else" says Robbie
"her laugh, not her oh that was totally funny laugh but her oh my God I'm gonna pee my pants laugh, it hasn't failed to make me smile yet" says Cat
"wait you like that laugh, it's my favorite too, it's so genuine, you've come up with some good zingers that I just can't get enough of" says Tori
"like the one about Ryder's hard muscles and how it makes him a softie" says Cat as Tori starts laughing
"how is that funny" asks Jade confused
"you had to be there but basically you'd expect someone with muscles like Ryder or Erica to be macho hard-core people but in reality they are quite soft gentle caring people, Ryder actually peed his pants the first time I said it" says Cat
"how's Abigail doing by the way, I haven't seen her much" says Jade
"she's doing well, her and Ryder actually had their first love making session last night and believe me along with Hailey being hyper Ryder's got his hands full" says Tori
"what's Hailey like anyway she's not around much" asks Trina
"not that it matters but Hailey is a dancer like Lizzie, a graceful dancer, Lizzie is Ballet and Hailey is Ballet and Jazz dance, because her dad raped her she's not fond of guys, I mean she likes girls straight up, she can also draw amazing art and all she draws is cute girls from magazines or comics" says Tori
"how can she handle Ryder being around her so much then" says Jade
"it took weeks for her to warm up to him, even still she won't talk to him directly, say he asks her what she wants to eat she'll write it or force Abby to tell him, you have to understand she was raped for a whole year by her father, as were her two sisters, the only one spared was her brother, she has no idea where the rest of her siblings are now that Chris is in jail and Hailey is freaking out" says Tori
"I would too, why won't she speak to Ryder, there has to be something more to that" says Jade
"Abby has noted that Hailey seems to have problems speaking, as in she can't say much at all, she can ask for juice, needing to go to the bathroom and basic stuff like that but nothing complex like say she wants pancakes with bananas and chocolate chips, she can't say that at all, you can tell she tries but can't so she's basically mute" says Tori
"that probably stems from how Chris raised her, probably didn't want her in school so she wouldn't know her alphabet or when or what to say, what's her writing look like" says Molly as she walks up
"like grade two level, did you find her siblings" says Tori
"her sisters ya, from what I can get from them Jake is dead, Sabrina, Lisa and Valeria are in the hospital now, they were mere days from dying according to the doctor, he estimates they've been scrounging for food in the streets for months if not more, one thing he noticed is that they've all had showers within two days but their health is not good and doesn't make sense, how can they get showers but can't find enough food to live" says Molly
"how'd you find them" asks Jade
"your old boss tipped us the cops off, why" says Molly
"there's your answer, he supports the homeless community, he doesn't make enough to feed them all but he has a second bathroom in his house and basically let's them shower, brush their teeth and look nice because in his eyes you never know when an offer will come their way, and if they look the part they might be able to rise from the ashes of homelessness, the only reason he'd call the cops is if he was fired and couldn't afford to buy hygiene stuff for them, though it's entirely possible Sabrina told him, she was doing the talking for them to the doctor" says Molly as Hailey comes right to her
"cal u tok mel tutu saw maw sitters" says Hailey
"I'm a little busy right now Hailey" says Molly
"what did she say" asks Jade
"I told them about her sisters being found, she said can you take me to see my sisters, Hailey sweetheart what if someone else could take you, who would you pick" says Molly as Hailey hugs Jade
"guess that means I'm taking you to see your sister huh" says Jade
"yekka" says Hailey
At the hospital
"Sab, wka hapet ta ew" says Hailey
"oh Hailey I'm glad to see your safe, I see someone has been teaching her more words, Hailey we were left to by Dad, had it not been for Herald we'd be dead" says Sabrina
"kaw" says Hailey smiling
"I can't take credit for her speech, that's all Abigail, what was she like before" says Jade
"mom taught her to speak till she was about three when she was killed, dad forbade speech, hence why her speech is so bad but the fact that she's willing to talk at all is huge, when dad would use her she wouldn't even cry or anything because she was scared, the more she wants to talk the more she uses her eyes to convey the message" says Sabrina
"you mean to tell me that the twitchy eyes and the quick blinking are intentional" says Jade as Hailey moves her eyes in a particular way
"yes it's become her favorite way to speak to us or anyone, because even if dad is indeed dead he instilled so much fear into her that she can't risk it, us three girls were born within two months of each other, while us three near seventeen Hailey is the youngest and Jake was the oldest, with Jake dead Hailey is even more scared because she looked up to him" says Sabrina
"so your dad cheated on your mom twice" says Jade
"try four times, Hailey technically isn't moms either, only Jake was theirs, he killed our mothers shortly after they got home from the hospital, our mothers were only teens when we were born, probably fifteen or younger, he was a real creep" says Sabrina
"Abigail is trying to help Hailey with her speech, Abby says she's come a long way" says Jade
"oh and she has trust me, she's so close to speaking normally, she usually calls me Sitter or sil, this is the first time she's called me Sab, Lisa is usually Lity and Valeria is usually Van" says Sabrina
"gill isal Lisu afweep" says Hailey
"she's in a lot of pain Hailey, go ahead cuddle with her just be careful of that thing in her arm ok" says Sabrina as Hailey complies
"why are Lisa and Valeria so close, aren't the beds supposed to be further apart than that" says Jade
"they are kind of in a relationship, look I know it's creepy because they're sisters but think about the fact that they were raped from age ten to fourteen, they didn't know who else to trust, I don't approve of it being the eldest sister but at the end of the day all that matters is that they be careful in public, given what we went through the hospital made an exception but they had to admit it so it wasn't deemed some crazy medical and/or mental condition" says Sabrina
"oh I mean given the context none of us at Tori's house will have a problem with it, I for one love wearing cuffs even outside of sexual situations, I don't understand why but I feel more comfortable with them on, we all have things we have to live with Sabrina" says Jade
"I'm scared for them because we still don't have a place to live, the chances of it getting leaked grow every day" says Sabrina
"you're coming home with us as soon as you're released from the hospital, remember George Gray's guest house" says Jade
"yes of course but only one of the "bedrooms" has a bed also we only have two set of clothes each" says Sabrina
"Tori is buying beds for each room, also If you give me your clothing sizes Cat can buy new clothes for you guys, she's wicked good at it trust me" says Jade
"iza ow air ew" says Hailey as Lisa hugs her
"you know Lisa is so ashamed of her feelings for Valeria that she won't talk much at all, she can but won't, Lisa's usually the most outspoken of us all but ever since their first kiss Lisa won't say much at all other than small nothings" says Sabrina
"it can't be easy, having feelings for someone who is related to you, I can only imagine the thoughts running through Lisa's head right now or at any time" says Jade
