"well it's official Tori, you won your case, those twelve girls testified and gave names and won their cases as well, fourteen directors down, forty-nine to go huh baby" says Jade
"yup, those hundred young girls found hope, they saw that the justice system is willing to help, they're bringing any medical information on the rapes and abuses they have so they have a better chance, I've never seen victims have so much hope, a lot of their parents are struggling financially because they were never paid for their acting or given credit for it, you don't just meet a Hollywood director, you have to go through so many hoops, I stepped in and demanded that the girls get counseling to help with their PTSD, paid by the directors themselves in top of the payment due to each girl like I got, the directors are freaking out, half of Hollywood is about to crumble, Hollywood wants a documentary done on this so it doesn't happen again and they chose Jade" says Tori
"chose me for what now" asks Jade confused
"to direct the documentary on the dark side of Hollywood, like my story and these girls stories" says Tori
"why not hire a seasoned director, I have no idea how to talk to traumatized kids Tori" says Jade
"you're the director because Hollywood can't risk another rape story, they want this coming out, it's not a one shot movie, it's a series where psychologists will talk to them as well, make sure they're comfortable and will guide you, these girls asked for it not Hollywood which says a lot" says Tori
"so what would it cover and where would it be filmed" asks Jade
"topics like why they auditioned for the movies, how they were taken advantage of, things like that, Hollywood said it'd be something like three hundred episodes, these girls are being paid to share their stories, Robbie Ray Stewart is even offering up his ranch house property as a camp for the girls, so they can know they aren't alone" says Tori
"so what would I get paid, what do these girls will be paid for their stories" asks Jade
"is that all you care about, money" asks Cat
"God no I'm just asking because I'm worried that I'll get a lot lot more than them them and in my eyes it's not fair, I shouldn't profit off of their stories, not as much as the directors did, a modest profit maybe like a few million" says Jade
"how much do you think they deserve" asks Tori
"a million up front each, a million each for therapy and meds and whatever else they're being paid should be put in a trust to gain interest which is only a few years for the teens but longer for the children, I can't believe they were all abused, so many girls will never trust guys now" says Jade
"Hollywood was thinking ten million dollars per, with the seized bank accounts totaling ten billion there is more than enough, wait scratch that in excess of ten billion, you'd get twelve, this girl Brianca Dean is coming over in a few minutes" says Tori
"so eight million in a trust and that's only 1.12 billion dollars what about the rest" says Jade
"it doesn't account for you and me, Hollywood is paying for an outside therapist for the video, someone out of their control, probably LAPD or FBI therapists so the therapist will be unbiased" says Tori as Bianca arrives
"a-auntie Jade" asks Bianca nervously
"wow Bianca you look so good, I haven't seen you in years, you're what thirteen now" says Jade
"with a baby of her own unfortunately, she's the lone victim with a kid, which puts a lot of stress on her" says Tori
"that director was a meanie" says Bianca
"ya he was, Tori can she stay here, like forever" says Jade
"her parents asked us to take care of her, they can't afford it anymore, it's not that they don't love her they just can't handle it financially" says Tori
"mom and dad said you were going to help me, isn't Jadelyn adorable" says Bianca as she lifts her baby slowly into her arms
"you named her after me" asks Jade
"I wanted her to be strong like you auntie" says Bianca
"I'm your cousin not your auntie let's get that straight" says Jade
"I've always called you auntie Jadey, you seem better" says Bianca slowly rocking Jadelyn Dean
"I am better darling Bianca, I've never been better, oh she looks just like you, Tori when can I get one of these" says Jade absolutely melting over Bianca's baby
"we'll talk Babe, for now Bianca is staying in the same room as you, cat and I have a separate room as you know she needs to get some things off her chest about what happened to her, she didn't know who else to turn to" says Tori
"can Bianca and I talk in private girls" asks Jade
"ya certainly" says Tori as Cat and Tori head to the pool
"Auntie Jade I was raped two years ago, by that director Arnold Bentington, the money I got from the court paid off my parents debt, my anxiety and depression meds aren't covered so that plus the hospital bill racked up their debt to near bankruptcy, something like half a million, grandma West has been helping them, I gave my court money to mom and dad, how are you gonna pay for my meds, or Jadelyns formula" says Bianca
"if I'm your guardian Bianca you will be covered medically, also doesn't Little Jadey breastfeed still" says Jade
"ya to the feeding thing but I don't know if I'm doing it right, the last doctor checkup said she was remarkably healthy but I'm still so young, also I like this girl I met during court her name is Melody, she's like really cute and seemed to like Lil Jadey a lot, of all the people who have met my baby, Melody is the only one she seemed to like until I came here, she seemed to calm right down" says Bianca
"is Melody a victim too, like you and Tori, also Tori has this calming thing about her" says Jade
"ya, she's my age, she was really nervous about telling her story, she also likes to hug me a lot, the court thing was like four days and she hugged me every single chance she got, one of the other girls offered to be her hug girl and Melody shook her head no and almost fell asleep with her head on my shoulder, also she had this look in her eyes like she didn't want to let me go" says Bianca
"I'll talk with Tori, you go get settled in, our room is the first door on the left, I'll be your roommate for the first little while ok bianca" says Jade
"Kay" says Bianca as she walks to her new room and Jade goes to talk to Tori and Cat
"so how'd it go" asks Tori
"she opened up immediately but also talked about this girl Melody, the way she described Melody's actions seemed like a mutual crush" says Jade
"Ohh Melody lost her parents just before the trial, she's been in foster care since, the court is looking for people to take care of her, you wanna" says Tori
"please, she said Melody got along with Lil Jadelyn too Soo that's good" says Jade
"yes dad told me about the cuddles between them, I'll make the call, I mean it's not like we're in a money shortage anymore" says Tori as she makes the call
45 minutes later
"you my new momma's" asks Melody scared to the bone as Bianca hears her voice and comes into view
"no way, Melody you're here" says Bianca
"Tori adopted me" says Melody as she hugs Bianca
"I'm a sucker for love, also Melody you're a Vega now, Jade wanted to but given the family ties between Bianca and Jade I felt that it'd be better if you were a Vega, so anyway Melody, do you like Bianca" says Tori
"she's cute and funny and understands me, what's not to love, plus her daughter is just so adorable also Bianca let's me snuggle and cuddle my parents didn't, I just wish they could be here to see me happy now" says Melody blushing
"wait your parents didn't cuddle you growing up" asks Cat
"both my parents were autistic, the less bad type, they read me stories and hugged me and stuff but if I hugged them for too long it freaked them out, something about overload" says Melody
"oh ok that makes sense, I can be the same way sometimes" says Cat
"we were told something about a camera" says Melody
"yes, you girls will get to tell your story to the world, Hollywood doesn't want to have this happen again" says Tori
"just us and what would we say" asks Melody
"the same kind of things you told the court but also how things changed, for example, Melody you can talk about meeting Bianca and how calm and loved it made you feel, Bianca will be talking about similar things, also about how meeting you has changed things for her, how it hurt but people are helping you grow past it and no it's all the victims that feel they can tell people their story, do you know any girls with cool names" says Tori
"this tiny girl, she had to be like six, I think she was played with badly, like not raped but molestat or whatever, she was touched down there, her name is Kalini, she's got the cutest laugh, I think her name means flower" says Melody
"she is indeed six, why zone in on her specifically" mentions Jade
"she's scared, she mentioned something about abuse at home too after the movie she was in during court" says Melody
"she had this scar on her cheek that looked like a knifey cut" says Bianca
"how do you know what a knife cut is" asks Jade scared now as Bianca turns around and moves her hair to reveal a scar on her neck
"see after I was raped that director cut me here, hoping I'd die, I don't know how long I was out, all I know is it was after the movie was done, I had already finished my scenies and the movie was released when I woke up in the hospital" says Bianca
"why didn't you tell the court that B" asks Jade
"I'd already told them in detail about my rape, I could tell they had already feared for my life, why make them more scared for me, I wasn't the only victim at that trial" says Bianca
"two months, you missed your birthday, also Jade it had already been stated she had been cut and had been in a coma for a time" says Tori
"I knew I missed my birthday though for some reason I couldn't remember how close it was to the movie event thing, the doctors said my brain was scrambled, that the knife cut a nerve and I shouldn't have survived" says Bianca
"was she really supposed to die Tori" asks Jade cuddling Melody and Bianca tight
"her survival of her injuries was expected to be twenty percent but like you she was determined, she pushed through, she has that Jade West perseverance" says Tori
"so she's a mini me" asks Jade
"no auntie she's saying like you I have that will to live" says Bianca
"oh uh ok I guess I'll take that as a compliment" says Jade shocked
"ya you should, Bianca is loving and nice, just as you were in the court that day, you argued that just because they have power doesn't mean they shouldn't be held accountable, all twelve of us girls looked on in awe as you protected little girls you didn't even know, all of us girls look up to you, Tori and Cat for helping us with our fear" says Melody
