1 week later as Andre and beck show up to apologize
"hey Tori we've come to apologize for the pain we caused you at the beginning of the school year" says Beck
"ya well you can stuff it because you missed your chance to apologize, thanks to your unwillingness to support me I'm here because a crazy cult wants to keep my head in a jar to keep hell at bay because they believe I worship the devil, so unless you can wave a magic wand and make them go poof there will be no more Victoria Vega music ever again" says Tori
"are things that bad" asks Andre
"yes, she had to pull her music out of anywhere but the states because of those meanies, all the merchandise they had already shipped overseas had to be pulled and Tori had to buy it all back, she went from one million dollars to two hundred grand in the blink of an eye" says Cat
"those psyho's caused my brothers suicide solely because he was my twin and I'm friends with her, had they known I was dating her and Cat they'd have killed him themselves, they've escalated from emails to harassing her on social media and the police are involved, that's why you had to be checked by them on the way in, nothing is stopping them from getting on a plane and coming here to 'deal' with her themselves" says Ashley
"I totally understand the added security, I've been reporting a lot of those psychopathic comments, also Tori Jade wanted me to give you this dress, said even if you couldn't wear it having it near you would help you while you're in here" says Andre
"….. the dress she wore… why" asks Tori
"so you do know what it is" asks Andre
"yes, those two months Jade was getting close to me, she doesn't have feelings for me but she was willing to pretend to go on dates with me at my house so I could get used to the idea of liking girls, I must admit she can really be fun and cute when she wants to" says Tori
"ok Jade is not fun nor cute, either she totally has a crush on you or she's been lying to the world about who she is for the entire time I've known her" says Beck as Tori tics
"you know you actually bring up a good point so I'm gonna say it has to be both, I've never seen anyone make my sister laugh as much as Jade has" says Tori
"wait really" asks Beck
"yeah and trust me Trina does NOT laugh unless she finds something funny, so to have Jade make her laugh over literally anything is mind blowing" says Tori as Trina and Jade walk over
"we were just dropping Selena off and thought you guys should know Trina and I are engaged, odd I know but I've never been happier" says Jade
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you Jade I'm really sorry" says Beck
"look Beck you were part of an obsession, an obsession to be normal, along with fear, just because we fought or I never saw us getting married doesn't mean I didn't love you, you did the best you could, I don't hold it against you" says
"wow you've grown up, not one snide remark" says Beck
"I wouldn't say she's grown up at all actually Beck, as you can see she still has the piercings, when she told her parents she'd defended Cat for Tori they said ok you can date Trina but on the condition you watch your language, I must say she's come a long way, growth comes in many forms, trust me she still wants to say those things" says Trina
"I'm proud of you Jade, standing up for Cat isn't easy" says Beck
"trust me it definitely wasn't easy but then again I'd never thought Tori could actually be a real friend to me, over the two months we play dated while Tori got the courage to confess her true feelings to Cat, Tori taught me about Spanish culture, about what being Puerto Rican really meant or was supposed to mean, her entire view of reality was upside down, she could understand what something meant but not how it connected her to it" says Jade
"I'm still not a hundred percent on that either Jade but I'm getting there, hey Jade remember I said two days ago that Selena would fall in love with that Scottish girl, is that here there, hugging Selena" says Tori
"yeah, her name is paisley, she comes from an abusive home and she'd had enough and had a mental breakdown and stabbed her father, I mean he lived but his abuse of her is under investigation" says Jade
"have they kissed" asks Cat
"not in the way you're thinking Cat, cheek kisses mostly, they want to kiss but Selena is afraid that moving on so quickly after losing Lucy would mean she'll forget about Lucy entirely and she doesn't want that" says Jade
"what kind of abuse" asks Cat
"everything under the sun except sexual abuse, David is worried he was about to start that and wanted her to lose her mind so nobody would believe a word she said, luckily a teacher noticed she was acting really off and sent her to the nurse, which led to her being sent here, mainly for protection" says Jade
"since you basically confirmed a relationship Jade Paisley has a paranoia personality disorder, basically she latched onto Selena and everything had to go through Selena, no doctor could have any contact whatsoever unless Selena was there, to be honest it annoys the doctors not having Paisley consent directly but they fully understand why Paisley requires it" says Ashley
"do you condone a relationship between them" asks Cat
"that's up to Cameron but right now she's letting them be all cute because Paisley needs someone she can trust after what she's been through and she has said if a romance forms between them then she'd access it at that time" says Ashley as paisley slips and Selena and Paisley end up cuddling on the floor
"I think they are definitely in love NOW Ashley, I'm certain Paisley asked Selena out just like a minute ago and she just slipped" says Tori
"ok I'll ask" says Ashley
"can I do it, she is still my little sister, nutso or not I am still her older sister and it should be me asking" says Cat
"ok fine you can ask but you are still a patient so I have to be there" says Ashley
With Selena
"hey sis, you and Paisley in love…" asks Cat
"how can I know" asks Selena
"you know because you know in your heart, love isn't about what's logical, nor is it about what society believes is acceptable, you know full well Lucy will always be a part of you, James will always be like an older brother to you, besides do you think Lucy would want you to be sad and forgo love just because you hurt that she's gone" says Cat
"I see in black and white but Paisley I can see her heterochromia perfectly and I don't know why" says Selena
"what meds is she on Ashley" asks Cat
"only two and she was officially diagnosed with autism and Tourette's, the meds are specifically to help heal wounds, her tics have the nasty habit of leaving bruises and this medication simply helps and she was only prescribed it after Cameron asked if she was being abused by anyone and she looked Cameron straight in the eyes and said 'I do this to myself, I don't want to but I can't stop' she didn't want anyone asking questions about Selena's bruises so she prescribed the medication to help" says Ashley
"she wasn't always color robbed Ashley, she could discern some colors and Paisley's eyes with the heterochromia are the exact colours she used to be able to see, is there anything we can he Paisley with Seli" says Cat
"put her dad away" says Selena
"I'd need more information Selena, though as patients here there isn't really anything we can do, we're helpless while in here" says Tori as Selena growls
"ok what's wrong Selena" asks Cat nervously
"she doesn't like the term helpless, like period, that's one of the first things she told me" says Paisley
"ok so if I get the ok from Cameron I'll need things for my lawyer to bite into because I got a call from her last night asking if there was anything to your story, she's ready and willing to get you justice Paisley" says Tori as Cameron walks over
"if you're doing something heroic Tori that means you're healing, I assume you want to help paisley" says Cameron
"you know me Cameron, I couldn't not help anyone if they ask, it's just not who I am, it's one of the reasons I love Cat, she's not afraid to ask me for help" says Tori
"my dad said being an artist, you know like the drawing kind was never going to make me money, that he'd show me how girls who are failed artists make money, he was gonna hurt me really bad before that agent saved me" says Paisley
"had he touched you down there yet" asks Ashley worried
"mhm, he said he was gonna make it so I understood why I can't be an artist, he said I was gonna raise someone so I couldn't do my "art", I was scared" says Paisley
"ok that tears it Tori forget all the restrictions, you have a gift to help people, you need to use it, I'll send all the information we have on Paisley and if you can get anything new please send it to Jenna" says Cameron
"can I cuddle Tori in her room, you know normal cuddles, she seems like a good calmer downer person" asks Paisley
"only if it's ok with Tori, I need to go talk to Jenna about a death wish your father has" says Cameron as she leaves
"yes Paisley it's ok if you want to cuddle me, how about we go back to Cat and I's assigned room, I used this week's good behaviour money to rent a tv and a movie" says Tori
"I have to know Paisley, do you love my sister" asks Cat
"very much, her grey eyes are breathtaking, she's never once gotten angry at any of us patients that she's helped which I adore" says Paisley
"how many people have you helped" asks Cat
"twenty so far, I don't tell them it is guaranteed to work, I just tell them the process I went through to trust doctors, ten of them were absolutely convinced that because the old doctors touched them inappropriately that these new doctors were gonna do the same thing, these doctors have no idea how to talk to girls who were ripped apart from the inside out by the doctors they replaced, some of these girls no longer care if they live or die because of what they went through, I don't think there is a therapist in the world that could help some of them" says Selena
"you really think therapists can't help them" asks Ashley
"I dare you to spend ten minutes listening to the ones that got raped Ashley, any normal therapist would diagnose them with anything BUT PTSD, they no longer have one train of thought but eight instead, believe me when I say they were not like this when they first got here and only became what they are now because of the things those doctors did to them" says Selena
"PTSD can accompany many mental disorders Selena, luckily Cameron specializes in mental disorders" says Ashley
"Cameron is the only doctor they trust and only because she's a woman and Lucy's mother, Lucy was well loved here, just not as much as I loved her, she was smart and funny and could sing, they now call me Lucy's angel thanks to Paisley here" says Selena
"I must say your speech has gotten a lot better" says Cat
"between you and Paisley I have great teachers, I want to learn Italian next, Paisley speaks some Italian but not enough to teach me and I kinda like how it sounds" says Selena
"tu sorella mia imparerai bene" says Cat in Italian
"damn that was smooth Cat, wait can I call you that" says Paisley
"yes Paisley you can, though as long as you two treat each other fairly and are in love you may call me Catarina" says Cat
