March 5th after court
"so how does this work owe you money for paying for my rib surgery, you offered me a job" asks June
"you're in online school now since you can't be in class, you don't have the ability to cheer at games anymore, that soccer player basically ended your career, I figured you would enjoy being my security guard, Vani is my girlfriend and photographer now, since we're in LA I agreed to do a meet and greet while the trial is going on, there is still an easy five days left of the trial, magazines will pay tens of thousands of dollars for these photos, my legs still aren't good enough to walk, so if a crazed fan tried to jump me I can't get away fast enough" says Cassandra
"where is this meet and greet, will you provide me with equipment" asks June
"yes and the first one is your school right after school, there is however another means to 'pay' the bill" says Cassandra
"I don't sell my body" says June
"Vani here heard you had a crush on her and me" says Cassandra
"ugh you talked to Kylie I assume" asks June embarrassed
"look neither Cassandra's family nor mine believe strictly in monogomy besides if you join us and make us a trio your due would be financially taken care of and you can make money, you can buy gifts, all I ask is that you give me security, being a model is tough, people are always prying for information, trying to hack into my phone, my computer, that's why Hannah Montana moved away from here, people were prying, anyway it's a well paying job" says Vanessa
"I don't know, it doesn't seem legal, not the trio thing the working for someone I'd be dating thing, it seems like a conflict of interest, maybe Vani's dad could be security instead" says June
"I already tried Junie, he's busy" says Vanessa
"you haven't called me that in ages….. so does this mean I can kiss you girls without the other getting jealous" asks June
"it's a call back to when you accidentally kissed me in kindergarten, I'd fallen off the slide and in an attempt to calm me down you kissed me, was Maria really a good cheerleader" says Vanessa
"honestly one of the best, that girl is flexible as all hell, I've never seen someone that flexible up close, the closest was Cat Valentine, she quickly outclassed even me in cheer ideas and I'm known as the cheer storm queen, that last day for her at school was insane, I've never seen the crowd get that worked up, the soccer team had never scored so many goals in my time as cheerleader, when I say never I mean never, our cheers were all Maria's design, we'd denied them at the time of proposal because it required special outfits, they worked so well we've been using her template ever since, the team has never been as effective as it is now, that's thanks to Maria, however now that I'm off the team there is no telling if the cheer squad will keep going the way it's been going or go back to safe cheers" says June
"wow Vani changes subjects so smoothly, I was still thinking about the kisses" says Cassandra
"anyway how was trial today" asks June hugging her new girlfriends
"they're catching him on every lie, I think he's on like lie four hundred by this point, turns out Lexie knew all along about him raping me and tapped into the security camera in my room, because of my muscle problems when I get cold my dad installed a security camera that would warn him if something happened, she handed the recording to the prosecutor and they play it every time he lies about a fact about my rape, which is the most contested issue according to Ryder himself, he hasn't denied raping those seventy-nine other victims, he seems focused on 'proving' to the jury that he didn't rape me, that my story is a lie, so every time he lies Lexie puts it up on the screen and walks over to the stand and says 'this is proof, not provided by 'Vani' but by 'me', do people think that someone who does that to their own sister would tell the truth' it's kind of funny and true at the same time, yesterday I read into the record a list of twenty-five things Ryder controlled about her life, some of which included 'destroying or confiscating tech and clothes as a way to terrify her, forcibly shaving her hair to a specific length, taking sheets or blankets away as punishment for being girly' among others, the court is allowing her to bring up video with my consent to remind the Court what he's capable of and what he's lying about when he lies about a situation, it appears he didn't know about the security camera and as a result his defense is crumbling I estimate he will plead guilty to all counts, being emasculated by the 'brother' he emasculated daily since she was six is hard to deal with, I could see his eye twitch after the third time and it happened nearly ten times in the first two hours" says Vanessa
"Lexie doesn't seem the type to keep secrets" says June
"ironically she's not, however she has a rule of act first think later, like when she got Maria that cheerleader audition, which is why she was such a terrible towel boy, she'd 'do' the soccer towel laundry then near the end of the cycle put the detergent in when she realizes she messed up and is supposed to put it in at the start, not understanding how that works is why she flew that one time, she put them in the dryer letting the laundry detergent soaked towels get sticky and hard, it didn't help that she was behind schedule so she didn't have time to switch out the towels, she has a big imagination which leads to her getting distracted a lot, thankfully it doesn't apply to traumatic experiences like say hearing me be raped for two years straight, however it can still lock them away" says Vanessa
"you and your sister are so strong, I'd never be able to stand up in court against the person who abused me" says June
"who was it" asks Cassandra
"Lucas Wilder, he's the same soccer player that sent that soccer ball my way" says June
"he contacted me about having my first ever meet and greet at the school, believe me I will deal with it" say Cassandra
After school during the meet and greet
"oh my god I'm a huge fan" says Kylie fangirling
"do you have anything for me to sign" asks Cassandra
"…. My family can't afford many things, they're struggling to pay for my cheerleading position, do you mind if I just stay here" says Kylie nervously
"tell me about Lucas Wilder" says Cassandra
"he's self-obsessed, he feels like he has certain rights, he's like Vanessa's brother but less flamboyant, like Ryder he'd have sex, consent or not but only if he thinks he can get away with it, unlike Ryder he's a jock looking to get on a state or national team so he's in the news a lot, not enough time out of the light to rape people as massively as Ryder had done, maybe three people since he got on the team, he's been on the team for three years, he may misunderstand our rights as women but he is not a clear psychopath like Ryder is, unlike Ryder he actually cares about the people he has sex with, whether they gave clear consent or not, he doesn't have sex just to have sex or rape people just to rape them, he has a heart it's just misguided, he can be turned to the right direction" says Kylie
"you need money" asks Cassandra as she continues to sign memorabilia
"I'm both too busy and not busy enough according to the jobs I'd applied for, my parents are working as much as they can to get me ready for University, my grades aren't good enough for Scholarship money" says Kylie
"nobody knows my home address, so how about this, you sort through my American fan mail and forward the non-creepy ones to an address in London England, I'll pay, five thousand dollars a month" says Cassandra
"f-f-five thousand just for sorting fan mail" asks Kylie shocked
"more if the mail gets too be too much, like if it's a fairly big package and not just a letter its worth double maybe triple, one of the things Cat's father and his friend Jacob do is ferry my mail from America to England, it's a lot of work when almost half of the genuine letters ask for nudes, I get very few actual product packages from my fans, the other half that aren't creepy nudes requests are basically just asking me to sign a picture they mailed me and having it sent back, I have almost a billion dollars from just working with magazines, that's not including special photo shoots for charities that I do every year, it's not a financial burden to me, with my girlfriend slash photographer Vanessa I'm hoping to launch a merch specific product line where you pay for shipping and for things like signatures or personalized photos but not the product themselves" says Cassandra
"why the secrecy, it seems shady" asks Kylie
"think about it, anyway lets put it this way, say you have a credit card but your mom or dad don't, this product line would allow them to borrow your card and the only thing that would show up on the card is 'Gifts Inc', or something to hide, my family is lucky to be talented and have jobs that make money, my mom died when I was two and my dad died shortly after I started modelling, June is my security, the last thing I told my dad was that I'd never get a security detail, it's by biggest regret" says Cassandra
"so this idea is as much to keep you safe as it is to keep gifts a secret" asks Kylie as Cassandra finishes signing memorabilia
"of a sort yes, ok that's everyone, I need to talk to this Lucas Wilder" says Cassandra as Lucas walks over
"what is it, did I do something wrong" asks Lucas
"well for one you raped June, for another you sent a soccer ball at full speed into her chest a few days ago, she's lucky she can walk, her breathing catches, her parents died in a car crash that same night, there wasn't enough money in their accounts to pay for the surgery she required so I had to pay for it, you owe me money Lucas" says Cassandra
"raping June was never my plan, I have a psychosis condition, I was only allowed on the team on the condition that i continue taking my meds, the only problem was I ran out of meds that night, my parents are in a constant battle with the insurance company to cover my meds, one time a year they stop covering my meds, there is nothing my parents can do, my condition flares up and I can't control myself, it's like watching a horror film, my self-control vaporizes, I'm sorry Jane though I realize no apology can fix the damage I caused, no amount of money can fix this" says Lucas
"Kylie says you raped three people, you say there is one time each year where you can't take your meds, tell me the truth and I won't ask my uncle to press charges" says Cassandra
"June, Kylie and Kara, they're all extremely fit, my disease has a preference, it's not my choice, I promise I'm not like Ryder, he gets off on dominance, I prefer romancing girls, this stupid condition ruined my life, the insurance company is due to stop covering my meds tomorrow and I have two days of pills left" says Lucas
"ok how about this, I give you the name of an insurance company that covers any meds that keep mental conditions in line and you confess to the cops what you've done and I will see if I can get my uncle to represent you" says Cassandra
"I already tried to turn myself in, being diagnosed with Severe identity disorder means I don't get arrested for crimes my alternates commit, even rape, the cops won't arrest me, it doesn't matter what I try, SID prevents me from being arrested for ANYTHING" says Lucas
"tell your parents to contact Starlight Insurance immediately, they will cover your meds free of charge for the first two years" says Cassandra
"are you certain of that Miss Cassandra, sorry I didn't mean for that to sound rude, it's just my parents feel responsible, they won't talk to another insurance company if they can't guarantee that my meds will be covered" says Lucas
"me and my cousin Catarina are on it, she has DID and I have RID, both very similar to SID, if you can assure me the rapes are directly caused by running out of your meds I can vouch for you, I wouldn't recommend them if I wasn't sure they'd cover your meds, the other option is I press charges and you can watch your career in soccer vanish before your eyes, if you do make the call to Starlight Insurance I'd recommend that you lock yourself in your parents house till the call comes in confirming coverage, should only be a few days, they're fast that way" says Cassandra
