In Cat's SanFran house a week later
"well I never saw this happening" says Tori
"ya us either" says Robbie
"I kinda like it, Tori gets to be with us, she seems happy" says Cat
"ya but who invited Jade" asks Robbie
"hey it's not my fault the University is biphobic" says Jade
"ya but did you have to send seven professors and the dean to the hospital" asks Tori
"hey I'm not just going to stand by and let people put bisexual people down and make them feel like trash, the cops refused to do anything, said it wasn't part of their job so ya I kicked their butt, you going to hate me for doing what was right" says Jade
"no I guess you didn't have any other choice, sorry my mind is still bunk, what's your name again" says Tori
"Jadelyn west, Robbie and I are here to love you if you so choose" says Jade
"what happened to the university, I just received an email from Carly and Sam who are now friends again saying that people are leaving the university in droves and losing funding, they need a place to stay" says Robbie
"I may have told a news company that the university is anti 2SLGBTQ plus, I told them that Jade was defending the community and that the University mass purged anyone who was Bi as a result, I guess there were more supporters than we thought, anyway go ahead and invite Carly and Sam over, there is plenty of room" says Cat
"this house is tiny, how are we all going to fit here" asks Jade confused
"oh Jade, Honey this house is massive, four floors, like two dozen rooms, this is the only room that is small" says Cat
"why make the living-room small" asks Robbie as he emails Carly
"because this isn't the main living-room, this used to be a bedroom, for whatever reason they put the living-room upstairs when they built this house, we only just got here this morning Jade, this house is more than it seems" says Cat
"why is the living room upstairs" asks Robbie
"I have no clue but I'm not letting just anybody into this house that far just to sit on a couch, that's why I had this small living room done, makes neighborhood chats a little easier for me to handle as a famous person" says Cat
"how does that work exactly" asks Jade still confused over being called Honey
"oh the mayor brings someone over or she comes over herself to plan a hospital visit for some patient" says Cat
"why the mayor" asks Robbie
"because I trust her my ex and I were looking to adopt, we'd settled on disabled children, you know cerebral palsy, non-verbal autistic, those kinds of kids, the mayor had opened an orphanage for disabled children who were thrown away by their families, there are soooo many of them it breaks my heart" says Cat
"when is the next visit" asks Tori
"wait you want to adopt…." Asks Cat now confused
"kinda ya, I know what it's like to feel different and unwanted, if there are siblings we should choose them first" says Tori
"why" asks Jade
"because Trina and I were a sibling pair, we kept getting denied adoption because I was a skinny child and that wasn't what prospective parents were looking for, they wanted Trina but not me, honestly it's what drove the stake between her and I, we used to be quite close" says Tori
"you must be having a good memory day" asks Jade
"I am, thank you, it's not easy having a condition that makes you look stupid ninety percent of the time, I have good memory days one in maybe every ten days, it was easier growing up to pick and choose what memories got swapped so I could focus on my school work, that all changed the day I came of age, it got harder and harder to focus, it felt like I was being robbed of my life, because in the blink of an eye several hours would pass and I'd have no recollection of my day, generally my last memory of each day would be sitting down in class then next thing I know I'm in my dorm room watching a movie with Jade" says Tori
"so you don't remember us being a couple at all" asks Jade
"no I definitely do, it's just I'd have no memory of my class and yet somehow I was passing and was the top student" says Tori
"have you considered a personality disorder" asks Robbie
"the hard part there is actually getting a diagnosis but yes it has crossed my mind, though if I do have one then a relationship with anyone but Cat seems near impossible, I have no ability to predict how any such personality would respond to it or when such a personality would take over, most people with personality disorders have time to disassociate, I get zero warning, none whatsoever" says Tori
"when do Carly and Sam get here" asks Cat
"I provided them with my number, Carly says by the end of the day…. why" asks Robbie
"because she needs a diagnosis of the symptoms, this is more than just a memory box issue, sure Sam found out the main thing but she needs to know" says Cat
"well Sam's driving so I can always ask" says Robbie
"great, how are they even getting along" asks Jade
"my guess is now without the fear of ruining Carly's reputation there is less tension between them, maybe even open love by now" says Cat
Several hours later as Carly and Sam arrive
"hey how is she, Robbie told me the theory and it seems to make sense" asks Carly
"she went down for a nap which is when this other personality seems to show up, Jade spent the most time with her so she'd know if something is off" says Cat
"Jade what do you think" asks Sam being serious
"I think she is a system, with at least two distinct personalities, Tori and the unidentified one, I believe the unidentified personality goes by Julia which is Tori's middle name ironically, I think this because there were moments where she would only respond if I called her Julia" says Jade
"I mean that basically confirms it, I have a doctor friend on her way with some equipment for an advanced brainwave type brainscan, yes you heard me right an in home brainscan" says Carly
"is it accurate" asks Cat
"trust me I know a scam when I see one Cat, this is no scam, it's miniaturized MRI tech, yes it's brand new however this line has been found to locate cancer's to within half an inch, the specific one on it's way here detects brainwaves associated with DID or any personality disorder, we have a baseline MRI scan so we can tell if something is off" says Carly
"why do you have a brain scan of Tori on hand, shouldn't I be the only one with that" asks Cat
"I'm acting as her personal medical aid Cat, how do you think I found out how bad her memory issue was, I had to get her an MRI scan" says Carly
"wasn't that university equipment, legally wouldn't that make the scan university property" asks Jade
"legally no, legally it is Tori's brain scan so it's her property, I've performed about a hundred of these scans, most of them of my med science peers curious of how their brain worked, had I thought Tori would have understood anything in those scans I'd have given her the hard copies" says Carly
"so you just called Tori dumb" accuses Cat
"far from it, her mental state is in question, trust me having access to the results of something could lead to her thinking she's ten times worse than she is which would in turn cause her to act in a way that would make her look as bad as she thinks she is and get mis-diagnosed as a result, brain scans are tricky to understand, even for me sometimes, I'd planned to walk her through what each part of the scan meant so she could understand her own situation but it was clear to me that the situation at the university was deteriorating too quickly for it to be safe long enough to explain everything, the amnesia caused her to be very drained just trying to understand basic things" says Carly
"so you withheld it so she could try and get better" asks Cat
"yes, the amnesia made her unstable at best, as it was the university had already called the cops to forcibly remove Tori from campus after they found out she was scanned with their equipment, they were furious, I didn't want to make her scared more than she would have been if the cops tased her as I understand the university had asked her to be" says Carly
"the university went nutso Cat, tried to tell the protestors that Tori was part of some sort of terrorist group" says Sam
"reformative not Terrorist, the education system in some states, California included make it hard for people with mental heath obstacles as she called them, the system makes it hard for them to get a university degree or hell even a high school diploma, Tori wanted to get politicians to fix it so everyone, people of color and people with mental health issues can get a fair chance at shot at their dreams alongside everyone else" says Jade
"but she pushed it so hard" says Carly
"because she was denied a scholarship solely because she was more than half Latina, she was offered one but as soon as they found out her ancestry and ethnicity the offer was pulled and they made no attempt to hide the fact that it was pulled because of the fact that she is Latina, as a result her father was forced to pay for her university causing serious strain on the father daughter relationship, now she has zero way to pay it back as she had promised him she would, believe me she is terrified of her dad right now" says Jade
"so it's personal" asks Carly
"yes but she had wanted nobody to have to deal with what she had to just to get a post high-school education, she doesn't want people to be afraid to accept a scholarship and have it taken away because they're black or German" says Jade
"why mention Germans at all" asks Sam
"Tori and Trina were adopted by David and Holly Vega, this fact I've known since day one of University and the specifics as to why she was denied a scholarship, their Bio father was German and his parents were part of the Nazi party, part of the military actually, Tori and Trina are eighty percent Latina but are also ten percent British and ten percent German, Tori does not know that specific fact, Trina wants Tori to be shielded from the truth about her and Trina's parents, Tori takes pride in being Latina and Trina fears it will only make Tori more depressed" says Jade
"I can only imagine, so Cat, do Samantha and I have to pay rent or like how will that work" asks Carly
"this big house was supposed to be an apartment building but the people building it scrapped the plan near completion and just made it a house, as for rent I won't ask for it but if you so choose to pay rent I wont stop you from doing so" says Cat
"I heard Trina got in a fight with David and he had to go to the hospital for it" asks Jade
"that's what Trina says" says Carly
"any idea what the fight was about" asks Cat
"from what she says it was about expecting Tori to pay back in full the money he spent on her university the moment she walks through the door of his home to pick up her clothes to come back here to Cat" says Carly
"i can see why Tori might be afraid of her father, he must know he's in the wrong" says Robbie
"Trina expects him to come here and apologize once he's better" says Carly
