LA 2 days later
"I'm really grateful that you guys kinda took me in but it's not the same without Cat, maybe Sadie likes me but it seriously isn't the same without Cat" says Tori
"I agree, Cat apparently felt up enough to send us a video, do you want to hear it" asks Jade
"sure" says Tori as Jade presses play
Hey guys, wish you were here, Trina has been very helpful, we can use this platform to communicate back and forth, don't be afraid to ask me questions, also Tori I'm sorry for what happened the day I freaked out, my eyes went nuts, it looked like you were melting, as if you were wax, then when Beck walked over the top half of your body fell to the floor, I have what's called Erica strobe syndrome, my eyes flicker between normal and black and white, that was the first day it happened, it has the potential to cause mild hallucinations because it's a bad connection between my eyes and my brain, there is an old growth festival on July twentieth and I'm allowed to invite you two, yes that means you too Jade, they're making an exception for you as long as you stay in my hospital wing, anyway I need to take a nap, I hope to see you guys there, oh and Tori Sadie loves Italian culture, invite her and she will fall into your arms
"wait did she just give me advice for Sadie, no this can't work, Sadie has a job that she loves" questions Tori
"she was fired that night for 'attempting to seduce a customer' I don't know who on earth complained but she literally just stared, she has no job anymore Tori, she's actually coming over to spend time with us" says Beck
"us or me" asks Tori
"at this moment she felt comfortable saying us, though I could tell her intentions were to be near you, she's afraid to death of me and she doesn't see Beck at trustable, there really is only one reason she'd take this big of a risk and it's you, she'll be here soon, I'd suggest you go and take a shower" says Jade as Tori gathers her clothes and heads for the house
10 minutes later as Sadie arrives
"hey uhh I thought you said Tori was here" asks Sadie nervously
"she's in the shower and probably has a load of laundry in, she's nervous so she might take a while, we should talk first before she gets back" says Jade
"about what, she's always been so confident…. Does she like me" asks Sadie
"all signs point to yes she likes you, she like Cat heavily masked, Cat was actually born in Sicily, she has a strong Italian accent, when she speaks English you'd never know, when it comes to Tori and her mask its more that she hides so much about herself, that changed when Cat showed her the life she could have loving girls or in this case young ladies, she's very nervous and questions literally everything, I'm not joking, from what she should wear to if she wears her glasses or contacts to who she talks to at any date or time, she's incredibly nervous by nature, you need to be careful with her" says Jade
"but I've liked her since I met her, that was almost exactly four years ago today" says Sadie
"she'd only been at Hollywood Arts maybe just three years, how did you know her before that" asks Beck
"her and my cousin Beatrice were friends at Sherwood high, one of her only friends at that, thereby I was a friend by association, she really is like Cat in a few ways, they're both fashion icons in their limited friendship circles also they both have ties to Europe, neither of them speaks their first language in public, or rarely anyway and last they're both adorable" says Sadie
"not to be rude but what do you love about Tori, I'm genuinely curious, she's going to want to know anyway" asks Jade
"she's smart and beautiful, but most of all no matter what you did to make her hate you, well let's be honest you kept failing, that kind of kindness is rare Jade, most people can and would be absolutely considered mentally unstable after some of the things you did, she pushed through, I know that's who she is, she really is confident, my brother is autistic, I know change isn't easy" says Sadie
"did you suspect she was autistic" asks Beck
"actually yes, however it was my brother who did the math and confirmed it, he loves her songs, he's really into guitar, he says there were very subtle hints in her songs though he won't say what about, how long does she shower for" says Sadie getting impatient
"chill girl, give her time, don't let your nerves ruin your chances, she's very skittish right now, any hesitancy from you could make her pull back into her shell, trust me that's not a good thing, besides if I know Beck's mom like I do she's probably giving Tori a pep talk right now" says Jade
"man you do know her, she'll be out in a few minutes knowing my mom, have some pop or juice Sadie, we aren't the enemy" says Beck
"what about you guys fighting, that's basically all you've done in the time I've known you guys" asks Sadie
"we aren't together anymore, I'm going after Cat, the last conversation we had she came out to me, she likes me, long story short my family is banned from any part of Italy, Sicily included, it seems I'm being given a line of trust, there is an old growth festival event thing happening, Cat invited Tori and I and made a note of asking Tori to invite you" says Jade
"oh the old growth festival, I love those, they're supposed to be really fun, mental patients are supposedly allowed to have some fun, yes I mean that kind of fun for one day, the government says it's to give them something to look forward to though I'm not sure if Cat would be allowed to as she was just admitted, guess if she is you're gonna have to teach her some moves Jade" says Sadie
"I don't know where the hell that rumor started but I'm still a virgin Sadie, Beck and I never did any of that stuff, we joke around, we were supposed to be the 'cool' couple so ya we made it seem like maybe we did but we never have, in regards to Cat the only thing I know in that area is she does play with herself, I guess it was about me but I'd have never guessed that before our last conversation, she's very secretive that way, the one time she talked about that kind of thing she was talking in Italian and I barely caught any of it, she talks very fast in Italian" says Jade as Tori walks in
"hey Sadie, so I was hoping you'd join me when Jade and I go visit Cat in Sicily for the old growth festival, it's clear no record label here will take me so I don't have any need to stay here" asks Tori
"as like a first date or what exactly, obviously I will go with you but I've liked you for four years" asks Sadie
"that depends on if you like hospital dates, I'm not sure we'll be allowed to leave the hospital, or even stay in Sicily after, my family in Spain would love to have me there, I haven't seen them since I was little, they're very accepting" says Tori
"when do we leave" asks Sadie
"it's not till July, I'm not sure if we're allowed there till then" says Jade as she gets another video from Cat
Hello again guys, so I couldn't sleep, I begged my family here to come get you, they'll be there in three hours, you're looking for the private plane named Sailor Cassandra Moon, she has a VIP pass so all you guys will need is a pat down, the flying rules about shampoo and stuff is waived for my family plane as its technically a diplomatic flight, she's emailed you your VIP passes, please print them out and have them ready, anyway I'm gonna try and sleep again
"ok so Sadie you have clothes with you or should Beck drive you to get some" asks Jade
"I have maybe two days of clothes on me at all times, how are we expected to pay for anything in Europe, the often don't accept US money directly" asks Sadie
"my dad has money in the UK that I can draw from if necessary, since my family has the most money and he was willing to hire Trina to be the go between means he's more than likely willing to pay for anything I or us as a group require while in Europe, consider this trip on the West family" says Jade
"I need a few more clothes then, is there any chance Tori could drive me" asks Sadie
"with what license Sadie, I maxed out my chances this year besides people here dive like they're invincible, Jade will have to drive you, don't worry she's declawed" promises Tori
"ok" says Sadie as Jade takes her to her car
"you really like Sadie huh" asks Beck
"look I've liked her for a long while, she's the reason I put up with her family, her entire family is basically a bunch of your little brothers, you'd be surprised to know that's why they never travel, unlike your brother they enjoy being fire setters, though they aren't crazy enough to start fires outside their house thankfully, anyway I admire her flexibility, she's more flexible than you even know, she was a contortionist growing up but stopped because other people told her it would lead to her death" says Tori
"but I thought Cat was part of the realization that you weren't straight, this is making any sense" asks Beck
"I'm sure there are plenty of guys you have a guy crush on Beck, that doesn't make you gay, I can't explain how her acceptance makes me feel all warm, I wasn't raised with that kind of thing, I was raised with specific gender roles and stuff, I was expected to act a certain way, Trina and I were both raised that way, Trina's the exception not the rule, Trina has always suspected I was gay, my defiance only made her more assertive on that fact, in the end she was right and Cat proved that" says Tori
"but it doesn't make any sense" says Beck
"the mind never does, also best friends brother isn't the song you think it is, it's a song about loving your friend but being so afraid of rejection that in order to be near her I fall for her brother, yes if you haven't realized it's not about Cat, it's about Sadie and her brother, me being the center and it's from my point of view, I have all the clothes I'll need for this trip" says Tori
"you're right, I'm sorry I shouldn't have been so judgmental, I guess I'm not used to people having feelings they don't understand, Jade doesn't count, she knew full well how she felt, she acted the way she did to fit in" says Beck
"believe me this is going to be an interesting future for all of us, my family in Spain is like Uber super rich, like easily double Jade's family, they own hotels around the world and a delivery company, it's going to be different that's for sure" says Tori as Sadie and Jade return
"so Tori would you be my girlfriend" asks Sadie
"oh right sorry yes I'd love that, I should have started with that, my brain jumble things sometimes" says Tori as she kisses Sadie
"we can finally be happy huh" asks Sadie blushing
"man I certainly hope so" says Tori
