Several hours later
"just so you know guys I'm half blind because of my uncle, it's a miracle I can do anything" says Tori
"what did he do" asks Cat concerned
"hot sauce in my left eye, nearly left me completely blind, he said I didn't take out the trash when I was told, I was FOUR, what little girl does those kind of chores and since when is hot sauce in the eyes a legal punishment, thankfully Loa rinsed my eyes out really good, out of my left eye I mostly see haze, my doctor said there is a treatment to fix it but I am really scared, I'm afraid he doesn't actually know what happened and is going to make me blind if I say ok" says Tori as she freaks out and covers her face
"calm down baby, it's not that bad, if you don't want your vision back we won't force you to get that procedure, if it scares you that much then tell your dad that" says Cat
"do you even know what it's like to be half blind Cat" asks Tori upset
"actually I know what it's like to be completely blind for months, I had clots in my eyes, turns out it was a benign tumor that caused it but they didn't find that our for four months, I just started believing I'd be blind for life, so even when I did get my vision back I refused to believe it was real, it took everything Jade could dish out make out and naughty wise to finally convince me I was really able to see again" says Cat
"but if I don't get this procedure I could actually be blind" says Tori
"I talked with your doctor and he said that he knew about the hot sauce thing and how long you've been like this and said while it was optional, his best interest is to get you back to normal, he said he wouldn't force you to get the procedure if it really scared you" says Jade
"I'm not sure I can do it, I don't like people with sharp things near my face" says Tori
"and yet you let us cuff you to the bed" says Jade
"that's not the same thing, not at all, the whole cuffs thing is to stop me from scratching my eyes in my sleep, they get very dry" says Tori
"you know they have drops for that" says Cat
"I'm allergic to half the brands, I start seizing, the drops work but my body doesn't do so well, so unless you know a brand that doesn't use standard meds in the eye drops it won't work" says Tori
"my aunt is a scientist and had worked on a new brand using more natural ingredients, it's in testing, and she said so far it hasn't triggered any allergy response in the tests" says Jade
"if she wants a definitive answer get me a bottle then maybe I'll get the surgery to repair my eyes, but only if the eye drops work" says Tori
The next day (Saturday)
"so you're sure about this Victoria, you'd be subjecting yourself to an experimental medicine" says Jade's aunt Francine
"Jade says your tests have been good, I'm allergic to most eye drop brands, I trust my baby girl" says Tori
"ok here we go" says Francine as she administers the drops
"ok that's an odd sensation, but it's definitely working" says Tori as she blinks alot
"we won't know for a few minutes if it triggered your allergic reaction" says Francine
"trust me I'd be squirming the instant the drops touched my eyes are quite sensitive to nearly all meds" says Tori as she sits up
"well" asks Francine
"well my eyes aren't nearly as dry and my vision is even slightly less blurry" says Tori
"wait she's half blind" asks Francine
"ya her crazy uncle put hot sauce in her eyes when she was four because she didn't listen to him, Lola her twin sister cleaned her eyes as best she could at the time" says Jade
"that's outright torture, I sure hope he's dead or in jail, the inmates won't take that laying down, also Tori I'll be leaving a few bottles with you, feel free to give me a shout if they stop working or something changes" says Francine as she leaves
"d-did we stay here all night" asks Zoey as they walks out of the spare room
"ya you girls did, you can always stay if you want, I kinda enjoy having friends over, plus that's the only room without a camera in this apartment" says Tori
"you have cameras in this apartment……, I sure hope you deleted the footage of Nicole and me making out on your couch last night" says Zoey concerned
"I have eye issues, plus I've have a few guys break into my apartment last year it's my personal system, not owned by the school, unless it noticed people breaking in.. the footage gets erased weekly, also I have no way to access it other than by my phone and I don't get access to anything but live footage unless someone actually breaks in" says Tori
"but you could have easily recorded the live footage for your own personal play bank though right" asks a concerned Nicole
"I'm not that tech savvy, that's Lola, I told her what I wanted and she showed me how things worked and she had me change my password the moment she handed my phone back to me so she couldn't record anything either" says Tori
"we weren't too loud were we, we sounded pretty loud to us" says Zoey blushing
"honestly didn't hear a thing" says Cat
"can we stay again tonight, we kinda like it here, a lot nicer than our "room", please" states Zoey
"as long as you clean up after yourselves you can live here, there is always a backlog of students looking to get away from home that would be more than willing to take up your room" says Tori
"wouldn't that make us a group couple, living together like this" asks Nicole intrigued
"that honestly depends on consent but you are more than welcome to live here right girls" says Tori
"yuppers, we're always up for a new experience huh Jadey" says Cat
"indeed, as long as we all consent legally there isn't anything anyone can do to stop us right Tori" says Jade
"I mean legally we're all still minors but ya basically we're living on our own and our parents only paid for our entree fee, we are fully expected to pay for our own food and internet besides people love Lola and I's baking, a little known secret is we easily made nearly four grand every month each, so if everyone is willing to pitch in I'm willing to split the profits evenly between us all" says Tori
"wait so if we help bake we get to keep a portion of the profits to buy stuff, and in turn we get to live here in this safe space, I do have that correct right, I'm not tripping on love" sputters Nicole
"yup, and maybe you get to see what all those rumors running around school are about" says Tori winking
"ok I'm sold, as long as we make our joint explorations at max twice a month, at least publicly, I'm still really unsure of what my art really means, if it's even good enough to go anywhere or if I should stick to acting which I personally believe I suck at, even though everyone else says I rock at it" says Zoey
"ok go get your stuff, I'm gonna call Eichner and tell him another room has been freed, I'm also making you Zoey, head of the art club, so you will be required to also make an art project for the members once a week, it also happens to be a kickback program, so your parents get a little money back every month" says Tori
"phew this school was expensive so my dad will be really happy to see that, didn't you say there was a four person limit to this unit though" says Zoey
"technically yes but realistically it's only two, you will be heading the art club so you automatically get a spot, and since Nicole is dating you she gets to follow you, and as for Jade and Cat they're dating me so they get a free pass, also this happens to be the only free unit available, all the other units are full, kinda funny how that works huh" says Tori
"wait isn't there already an art club head, I'm part of that group and I was told the spot was filled" says Zoey
"acting head, the art club head graduated last year and only a student council member, regardless of grade can appoint one, actually as it happens I had already considered you for the spot the moment you asked if you could get involved in the first music show of the semester, honestly I had spoken to the other student council members about giving you the position and they honestly loved the idea of a newbie taking the position" says Tori
"what why" asks Nicole confused
"because fresh blood means new ideas and new ideas means more corporate interest and corporate interest pays the bills, Brokana art school from Louisiana almost pulled out till your name started floating around campus, it would seem you saved the entire arts program" says Tori
"of course I did, while my home state art school isn't fond of me I happen to be part of a family of artists that happen to hold shares in the company, I wish my family would leave me alone sometimes, all I want is to experience love, freedom and art, that's all I want but most of my family is all about logic and money, also I must say your panties are really cute" says Zoey blushing
"h-how can you see them" asks Tori suddenly nervously hiding her panties with her hands
"you must have ripped your jammies or something, don't hide it I like it, you opened the door Victoria, Nicole and I if I'm being honest kinda fantasized about you three, probably having sex in the next room, we really liked the idea, but Nicole insisted we'd want your consent first" says Zoey as they run to get the little stuff they have
"are we sure we're making the right decision here Cat, I'm beginning to think we've gone too far" says Tori nervously
"if they're willing why stop them, it's not like we're forcing them to join us, if we were I'd agree, besides I lied I could hear them, while they weren't as loud as they thought, they were definitely loud and I was definitely getting hornsy hearing them moan, also they set the terms, twice a month max, we didn't dictate the terms, besides if we weren't curious we might as well drop out of high school and get jobs and be adults, the whole point of being a teen is exploration and learning and pushing boundaries, besides if it fails they won't hold it against us" says Cat confidently
"and you know this how, can you read their minds or something, because that would explain how you heard them because I didn't hear Jack from them last night, not even a murmur" says Tori
"no but she does have insane hearing, in fact she picked up on my feelings for her before I did, she calls it her superpower" says Jade as Zoey and Nicole return with three bags
"do you love us, or Err me since I'm having the most trouble understanding just what happened and if we even should" says Tori nervously
"yes and we feel a little nervous too but we want to at least try, sure it's new and new is scary but that's love Victoria" says Zoey as they put their stuff in their new room
