The voices gets louder, and I shiver in Jade's arms involuntarily. She stands up, pulling me with her, and half drags, half carry me over to a mahogany door in the RV. She opens it, making sure I am seated comfortably on the toilet bowl before closing the door with a whisper to "stay quiet".

I sit in the dark, running my fingers over my lips. Jade, the most beautiful and alluring woman I have seen, had just kissed me. My mysterious savior. That firework-filled moment actually did shock some things back. Some images and intense feelings, to be exact. Now, I can confirm that those realistic dreams from that day are not just dreams, they are my memories.

And I know exactly why I trust her so much now. She's my girlfriend. The person who I tried so hard to be with for a very long time. It's still foggy on what exactly happened in the past, but I remember the feeling of being terrified of my mom and dad finding out that I'm with her, so we hid our relationship from them, even though we were out to all the people on that bus in my dreams – aka our friends. I don't know all their names yet, but I'll recall eventually. I know I will.

And my mom, she's here. I've seen her, even, when I first woke up.

As to why I'm here, why Jade has popped out suddenly to 'rescue' me, it's probably like what she said: they found out about us and brought me to somewhere horrible in an attempt to 'save' me. I'm not even sure what they did, but it clearly didn't work, since even forgetting who Jade is still hasn't helped me get over the attraction towards her. Maybe it's better to forget about the things they did. I'm not sure if I would be able to take it if it all comes back rushing to me.

But I'm with her now, and because of this, I know that no matter how bad things get, I'll be alright. Because I'm safe with Jade.

Muffled voices are getting louder outside. I close my eyes and take deep breaths, trying to suppress the shaking of my body and hoping that whoever's outside won't open the door.

"No officer, we haven't seen this person." Jade's crisp voice rings from outside the wooden divider.

"Yeah, don't know who she is and haven't seen her. Can my girlfriend and I go now? We're just on a road trip around the country." Beck's voice came from beside her.

"You young'uns from the West side?"

"Yeah. Is there a problem officer? I'm pretty sure we're not over the speed limit or anything."

"No, sir. Drive safe, and enjoy your stay in our town."

The footsteps becomes fainter before the sound of a door slamming shut. I wait with bated breath, wringing my hands together. Before I know what I'm doing, I find myself counting to three hundred.

Light rushes in as door swings open at two hundred. Jade's eyes meet mine before she grabs my hands to pull me out of the restroom. She wraps her arms around me, rubbing my shoulders, and I feel my trembling frame become still and my taut muscles easing up. "It's ok, Tori. It's ok. We're actresses, remember? We can fake our way out of this. I won't let them get their hands on you."

She continues whispering reassuring words into my ear as she pulls me back onto the couch, her arms never letting go the entire time. A strong male voice booms out from the corner in an amused tone. "Damn, Jade. I never knew you can be so gentle and loving. Being with Tori really changed you so much."

I watch Jade gives him the finger as he laughs and sits down on the carpet. "So, what are we going to do next? Do we wait for André or drive straight back? Or even just stay here for a little while? I'm not hoping to get stopped at every turn like this. I don't think any of us can stand the heart attack each time this happens. And trust me, with the heightened alert, this is going to happen many, many times. Besides, what are we going to do even if we get back? We'll still have to come back here eventually."

I turn to Beck. "Do you think we'll be safer if we just stay here for a bit? I'm actually pretty scared they would find me, even though I don't really know why. But I sort of can guess the reason. And why do we have to come back?"

"The court case can't be conducted back in LA. It'll have to be resolved here. Even if we managed to get you out now, you can't walk free yet. There are still so much evidence we need to gather, and people we need to find."

I look at him to continue, but Beck shakes his head, seemingly reluctant to say any more. "Let's eat something fresh while we decide on our next move. I'll go get some pulled pork sandwiches for all of us."
