Mother's Day (Andrew DeLuca x Alex Karev's Sister Imagine)
Age Rating: 12+
Chapters: One of One
Fandom: Grey’s Anatomy/Station 19
Ship: Andrew DeLuca and Amber Karev
Canon Episode: Season 20 Episode 7/ Season 7 Episode 7
AN: Happy Mother’s Day again guys so this is another story that focuses on Andrew DeLuca and Amber Karev on this special occasion. Now I don’t know the timeline of season 20 due to the production being held back a year because of last year’s writers’ protests but I imagine it’s still around 2023 so this is where the chapter is set. I thought the scene between Maya and Beckett when he gave her shots would be more meaningful with Andrew instead especially after her run in with her brother.
Summary: Amber is worried about how she is going to tell her and DeLuca’s daughter about their extended and estranged family. Meanwhile Andrew helps Maya with her hormone shots and comforts her after she talked to her estranged brother.
Words: 6472
May 12, 2023
Amber walks down the hallway of her house in her casual gray shirt, jeans and green utility jacket. She put her hair up in a bun and her makeup is done casual. She enters the kitchen ready to get some coffee when an unexpected surprise comes her way.
“Sorpresa!” Andrew DeLuca yells out from the kitchen table holding their 7-month-old daughter in his arms presenting a plate of crepes with a cup of coffee to the left and a bowl of fresh fruit on the right.
Amber chuckles in delight, “What is this? My half birthday was two months ago.” She sits across from them salivating at the delicious looking French pastry that is filled with whip cream and covered in blueberries.
“Well, it’s Mother’s Day today and we felt like celebrating your first with a gourmet breakfast and.” He hands her a pink construction paper that has hand prints painted over it with pink glitter spilled on in and an I Love You written above showing that Lucy made it with the help of daycare, “A Hallmark level card courtesy of our future artist here.”
Amber smiles at the paper, “Aww well thank you both, oh dang she really loves that pink glitter, doesn’t she?”
Andrew chuckles, “Yeah you gotta see what we’ve been working on for daycare.” He pulls out a large white poster from under the table and on it is a family tree that is normally done for an elementary school project, “We’re doing present your family and let me tell you our little girl really likes crafting especially when she gets to spill pink glitter all over a canvas.” Andrew smiles at Lucy who is eating Gerber puffs, “Hopefully they can read all about your family over the pink glitter bambina. They probably don’t need to since your whole family works at the hospital and everybody knows who is related to who.” Amber’s smile falls as she looks at the tree solemnly which Andrew catches, “What’s wrong?”
Amber inhales and composes herself grinning again, “Nothing I’m just anxious about these crepes you made and hope I don’t die from sugar crashing.” Amber puts the poster away and eats her breakfast with Andrew looking at her worried but goes back to feeding their baby.
Later
After checking Dorian Cardenas’s labs and telling him he is gonna move out of the ICU, DeLuca exits the room with Yasuda and Adams behind him. He goes to a nurse’s station to check his schedule for the day. He has two surgeries for today and he has to go to daycare and present the family tree with Amber and Lucy. He found her behavior after she saw the tree strange and is wondering how to ask her what the issue is. Like he summoned her he sees Amber walking toward him in her baby blue scrubs.
“Hey how’s it going?”
Amber groans, “Well my blissful morning took a disastrous turn when I saw that tree our daughter did.”
Andrew’s eyes widen at that, “Honey she’s not even one you can’t expect her to be Artemisia Gentileschi overnight. Besides I helped so it should be me you're criticizing.”
“No, it’s not about how the tree looked it’s about what was on it or wasn’t.”
Andrew raises an eyebrow still confused, “Amber your gonna have to help me out here.”
Amber sighs, “The only photos there are us, her aunts Carina, Maya, Jo, her uncle Alex and her cousins Luna and Liam. What are we supposed to say about the rest of her family?”
“Ah I see now.” Andrew finally understands and works to relief his wife’s stress, “We’ll just tell her the truth it’s not a big deal.”
Amber narrows her eyes at him, “Okay so do you want to be the one to tell her about her grandfather who killed four patients in a manic state, her grandmother who had a stroke. Oh, and you also can’t forget her other grandfather who died right here in this hospital after a crazy resident butchered his insides while he was withdrawing from hard drugs.”
Andrew presses his lips at the dark reminder and looks at Yasuda and Adams behind him who look both shocked and horrified by their family history. He shakes his head at them and turns to Amber, “You're forgetting your mother.”
Amber chuckles at him darkly and stops abruptly with a frown, “No she does not count. She hasn’t even reached out when I told her about the pregnancy.”
“Maybe because you usually tell that news with a call and not a text to someone who still uses a home phone.” Andrew reminds her.
Yasuda speaks, “Wait you told your mother you were pregnant through a text?”
Amber glares at Mika who cowers in fear, “What are my rules?”
“Speak when you tell me to.” Yasuda repeats and shuts up.
Amber turns back to Andrew who has another suggestion, “What about your brother, the other brother Aaron?”
Amber raises an eyebrow, “You did not just say that.”
Andrew sighs, “Look it’s been over three years I think you’ve punished him and your mother enough. The both of them are alive, working on their mental health and sober by our family standards we got the golden ticket.”
“I’m pretty sure you don’t get a famous chocolate factory here.” Lucas quips.
Andrew glares at him, “Speak when your spoken to applies to you as well Adams.” Lucas quiets causing Andrew to focus back on Amber who looks sad at their family situation, “Every family tree has a few nuts in them babe.”
“Some more than others.” Yasuda mutters.
“Do you want a slap to the face Yasuda?” Amber asks viciously causing Mika to swallow.
“I-I’m so sorry my mouth speaks before my brain and I have a dark sense of humor and-”
Amber ignores her and focuses on Andrew, “My brother is out of the question he made it so after our wedding and hasn’t apologized for it since. No, he lost the right to get to know his niece.” Amber inhales deeply with Andrew looking concerned, “You know what it’s fine we’re fine. Lucy has so many people who love her more than the people cut from her life she’ll be fine.”
Andrew knows her too well to fall for that, “You’re doing that thing where you try to convince yourself everything is fine when it isn’t.”
“I didn’t have doting grandparents or uncles growing up, it sucked but Lucy has us and so many other family members within walking distance. It will soften the blow once we tell her about our Clive Barker horror family tales. We’ll flip a coin on who gets to tell her, I gotta go to the pit. I’ll see you later.” Amber walks away from Andrew who looks at her worried while Adams pitches in.
“She really told her mom she was gonna be a grandma in a text?”
“That’s my wife your judging Adams so watch it.” Andrew turns to the interns, “Transport Dorian to a patient room and monitor his vitals and I cannot stress this enough. If one of you ignores your duties again, I will have Amber DeLuca unleash her pent-up rage against her family on you and I think you learned from her brief history recap how brutal we can be especially on lazy interns.” Yasuda and Adams look scared but nod understanding, “Good now go.” The interns leave DeLuca to go inside Dorian’s room while he exhales still worrying about Amber.
Later
Amber gowns up at the pit to prepare for the incoming double trauma in front of Kwan and Millin who start to annoy her as Millin chants.
“Chest tube, chest tube, chest tube, chest tube. I have one left on my procedure log.”
Amber starts to walk out with them and Kwan converses with Millin, “Ah me too. Want to bet who finishes first?”
“Loser buys drinks at Joe’s?”
“You’re on.”
“Game faces people.” Amber reminds them as she approaches Hunt and Link when the blaring ambulances stop at the bay.
“I got this one, Link you got the other.”
“Okay Millin you’re with us, Kwan go with Link.” Amber orders and they separate. Millin follows Amber and Hunt to the ambulance when the doors open revealing a woman on a gurney with a collar on.
“What do we got?”
“Gillian Mendelson, 46. Status post MVC.” The paramedic explains while Hunt does a neuro exam, “GCS 15. Brief LOC. Small head lac. Complaints of headache.”
Gillian is awake and speaks, “I’d think it’s a migraine if I wasn’t just in a car accident.”
“Okay let’s get you inside to check you out.”
Gillian speaks stopping them, “Wait! I-I want to make sure Cassandra’s okay.” They look to their left at the ambulance next to them and see a woman coming out on a gurney in far less severe shape than Gillian. Amber notices her serene expression and glassy eyes, “Cass you okay babe?”
Cassandra responds in a loose voice, “Remember when the kids were at soccer camp and we tried those gummies?”
Amber answers for her, “I think she’s okay.”
“We got to make sure you are too. Let’s go.” Both teams wheel their patients into the pit.
Meanwhile
Andrew opens the door allowing Yasuda and Adams to wheel in Dorian into his new room.
Yasuda tries to hype him up, “Smells of antiseptic, doesn’t have a view, but…”
“It’s not the ICU.” Adams finishes, “And-”
“Surprise” A man and woman jump out of the bathroom smiling and holding a GET WELL SOON, D sign. Andrew smiles at the perfect timing as he helped them plan a surprise jump out for Dorian who needs a little happy in his life. It works because he’s smiling for the first time in a while.
“No way. James? Fiona?”
Andrew explains, “They reached out and insisted on being here. I hope that’s okay.
“More than okay. We’re in the same engineering program. Well, we were.”
“Don’t worry. We brought all your work from last semester so you can catch up.”
“No, we didn’t, jerk.” Fiona lightly pushes him, “We did bring a bunch of cards from people back at school though. Everybody misses you, D.”
“Not entirely sure why.”
Dorian chuckles at James joke as DeLuca inserts his IV, “All right, let’s get you settled here and hopefully you won’t be here for long.” Dorian exhales in relief as DeLuca gets to work.
Later
After they found out that their patient Gillian is married to someone else and that Cassandra is her mistress Owen requested that she get a CT to rule out any neuro injuries. Amber found the situation both amusing and sad, amusing because she had to hide Cassandra’s bra when Aaron walked in and sad because Aaron seemed like a guy who didn’t deserve to be in a situation like this where his wife is sleeping with her friend behind his back. It makes her think about how her own messy family life which brings her back to issue of her nuts in the family tree and how her daughter will handle it.
“How long does this take?” Gillian asks while she is inside the MRI with Hunt and Amber observing from the monitor room.
“It should be quick.”
“Well, I was hoping it would be longer. If my head wasn’t pounding, I’d just as soon stay.”
Amber presses the intercom, “Just try to relax Gillian, imagine you’re lying on a beach getting a suntan. It doesn’t feel like it but that what imagination is for.”
“You want to know how I got in this mess, don’t you?” Gillian asks in shame with Hunt saying no and Amber overlapping with a kind of causing her to explain, “Aaron and I got married right after law school. We had our kids; we did our jobs. And then the kids were older, and work was-Well, I do tax law, and all of it just got so boring. Uninspiring.” Amelia walks in to check the brain scan, “But then I met Cass at the PTA, and she made life not boring. So here I am with a giant headache. Literally and figuratively.
“Complicated.” Amber snaps out of it and turns to Amelia.
“Do you see a subarachnoid hemorrhage or maybe an epidural hematoma?”
“No, her scan’s clear. Situation’s a mess. Well, good luck.”
Amber purses her lips and nods while Shepherd leaves. She presses the intercom so Gillian doesn’t hear her, “No offense to Gillian but I would take boring any day of the week including Sunday. Chaos can be exhilarating but then the high dies and you end up in pain and innocent people suffer the consequences of your mistakes.”
Hunt turns to Amber with a worried look and decides to pry, “Is everything okay with DeLuca?”
“No, we’re fine I’m talking about my family as in the ones who don’t live here.” Hunt still looks confused and Amber sighs at his expression, “I have to figure out how to explain to my precious and innocent child that her grandparents are either dead, manic or schizophrenic. It’s a can of works that’s gonna make her seriously question her sanity and her parents for thinking it was a good idea to mix our time bomb genes together. And my brother who I would go to for this picked this week to go to Nebraska for a peds surgery.”
“Your side has schizophrenia and DeLuca’s is bipolar, those are conditions that can be monitored and treated with the right therapy and medication. And if it makes you feel better medicine is advancing constantly and when she reaches that age the medications, she can take could be more effective with little side effects than it has today.” Amber nods feeling a tiny bit better, “And as for when you tell her you just have to take it one step at a time. If she’s anything like you apart from looks she’ll be fine. Kids are tough and they adjust well to bad situations better than adults. You of all people can understand that.”
Amber looks back at Gillian, “One thing is for sure Gillian’s head is not the only thing that’s gonna blow up.”
Meanwhile
Andrew and Carina walk down the hall to talk about Amber’s concerns as he is also starting to let it sink in. He hadn’t really considered it but now that Amber brought it up, he can see why she was worried. It’s hard to give your child the sex talk when they reach teen hood but how do you explain the whole messy family history that involves murder, death and insanity.
“I tried to tell her it wasn’t a big deal but the more I think about it I start to realize she’s right.” Carina sips her coffee paying attention, “I mean it was bad enough for us with just papa but for Lucy she has papa and so many other family tales that will make her use a nightlight for the rest of her life.”
“It’s not that bad it could be worse.”
Andrew scoffs in disbelief and counts with his fingers as he recaps to her, “Junkie grandpa who was murdered, manic grandpa who killed four patients, grandma who died of a stroke and a schizophrenic grandma who probably doesn’t know she exists. Can you think of a family that’s worse than that? Maybe the Stark’s from Game of Thrones or the Lannister’s definitely the Targaryen’s.”
Carina sighs, “I swear you and Maya are alike sometimes. She told me she was worried her genes were gonna ruin the baby because of how her father treated her. It’s the hormones but I know it’s from a deep-rooted fear that you have as well. We’re not our parents Andrea and neither are our precious babies.”
“Aren’t you worried at all about how Liam is gonna take it when you tell him about his cruel grandfathers and his homophobic uncle living on the streets?”
“Of course, I am but the good thing about growing up the way we did is that we know how to help our children process very shocking information. We just have to remind them of the people who love them and that despite how we were raised we are not gonna do to them what our parents did to us.” Andrew nods processing her advice, “Lucy is gonna be okay and so is Liam you just have to be prepared for when they have questions and answer them as honestly and as gently as we can.”
Andrew nods thankful for having a wise sister, “Thanks, I needed to hear that…You know Liam is lucky to have a mom like you, he’s gonna grow up great.” Carina looks away bashful, “I know this because he’s not the first kid you raised. That was me.”
Carina grins at Andrew gratefully who grins back, “Thank you I needed to hear that too.” Her phone beeps and her grin fall, “911 from Jo I have to go.” Carina runs away leaving Andrew in the dust.
Later
After ruling out neuro injuries in CT, Hunt and Amber moves Gillian back to the pit and gave her an ice pack for the headache. Aaron was waiting for her and is agitated but the news they give him.
“What do you mean her scan is clear?”
“Aaron.”
Aaron persists, “You’re clearly in pain.”
Amber explains, “Her scans showed no obvious hematomas or hemorrhages but we’re gonna find out what’s causing the headaches.”
“We’re gonna keep her in for observation. This could be a concussion. She did hit her head pretty hard.”
Aaron looks confused at Hunts diagnosis, “You did?”
“It’s how she got the cut.” Amber explains as Gillian looks flustered clearly afraid of being exposed.
“Why didn’t the airbag inflate?”
“Oh, uh, it did. I-I hit the door.” Gillian lies, “Can we not talk about this now?”
“But the cut’s on the right side of your head.” Amber presses her lips at Aaron getting closer to the harsh truth with Hunt stepping in.
“Listen, the good thing is-”
Aaron interrupts and keeps pestering Gillian, “If you were driving, the door would be-”
Gillian groans, “Oh, my head is really pounding.”
Amber clears her throat, “Just keep the icepack on the head Gillian, Mr. Mendelson why don’t you take a walk while your wife recuperates, I think that would be-”
Aaron ignores her, “She hit you so hard that it flipped you in your seat? That woman should definitely not be driving our kids around. She’s irresponsible and-”
“WE’RE HAVING AN AFFAIR!” Gillian yells out so loud the whole pit hears her.
“And there’s the blow up.” Amber whispers to Hunt both of them feeling awkward as Gillian spills the dirty beans.
“What’d you say?” Aaron asks in shock.
“An affair! You know, sex? The thing you and I never have anymore. That’s what Cass and I were doing in the back seat, like we’ve been doing for two years. Two years! Any more questions?” Aaron looks at his wife hurt but doesn’t speak instead he leaves in pain with Hunt and Amber as a front row audience to the farce, “I felt a lot better yelling at him.”
Amber nods, “Well, sometimes getting it all out can be a huge relief to the psyche.”
“No, no, I-I feel awful now, but when I’m yelling…MY HEAD DOESN’T HURT!” Amber jumps in shock at the sudden outburst and looks at Hunt who is also confused by this new development.
Later
Amber walks into the lobby rubbing her ear with her finger after getting Gillian back into CT. Her patient was screaming the whole time because it made her head feel better. They were able to diagnose her and sent her to an O.R. before she damaged all of their ear canals. Amber spots Andrew charting by the station in his navy scrubs and navy-blue scrub cap with a constellation pattern on it.
Amber stands next to him leaning against the station on her elbows, “Hey.”
Andrew smiles at her, “Hey I heard about your patient who screamed in your face.”
Amber chuckles, “She didn’t scream at me she screamed so she could relieve her cranial pressure. We sent her up to neuro, it should be a simple procedure. I just hope she doesn’t scream while Shepherd is in her brain.”
“It would be an interesting sight.” Amber smiles at that when they hear a familiar voice yelling at someone behind them.
“Because he was shot!” Amber and Andrew quickly turn around to find Lucas Adams yelling at Dorian’s friends in the middle of the waiting room, “Three bullets went into his body. He’s been hanging on by a thread for weeks.”
Andrew looks on in shock and anger, “Damn it come on.” Amber and Andrew move towards Adams who keeps admonishing Fiona and James who look at him in hurt shock.
“And he’s already feeling disconnected enough not knowing how long he’ll be here. He doesn’t need to listen to stories about people he doesn’t know or graduations he won’t attend. He just needs to know that you’re actually here for him.”
Andrew reaches Adams and sternly orders him, “Adams take a walk right now.”
He ignores him and keeps going, “Maybe it’s for the better that you weren’t here. You obviously have no idea what he’s been through.”
Andrew grabs Adams elbow forcing him to face him as he glares at him in anger and disappointment, “Go find a dark corner somewhere while I clean up your mess again. Now.” Adams stands there with a pissed off look forcing DeLuca to yell, “Now!” Adams leaves in a huff. Amber follows him to get answers while her husband apologizes to the victims of Adams tirade.
She catches up to him in the towel room, “What the hell was that?! Are you out of your damn mind?!”
Adams quickly turns to face her, “Dorian’s been here for 51 days, and they waited till now to visit him?”
“He didn’t want them here!” Amber explains, “Post op day 15 his phone was blowing up with texts from them asking him where he was. He told me to text back that he was okay they didn’t even know about what happened until two weeks ago. But even if that wasn’t the case that doesn’t warrant you to verbally assault his friends, do you really think that’s how a doctor is supposed to talk to his patients loved ones?! You have disappointed me in a new way that I didn’t think even you were capable of.”
“And what are you gonna do huh? Cut me off like you cut your own mom and brother out of your life?”
“Adams watch it!” Amber registers Andrew behind her speaking in a protective tone.
“Can anybody live up to your standards?” Adams asks her in anger, “Are you really such a perfectionist that you toss your own blood in the garbage for what is no doubt a little mistake that you can’t overlook. You didn’t even tell them about your daughter you just assumed they would be fine with you deserting them.”
Andrew opens his mouth to speak but Amber beats him to it as she glares up at Adams in rage, “You have no right to think you know anything about me or my family! You don’t relive the memory of your mother chasing you around the house with a knife and watching your brothers hold her down and force her to swallow pills so she wouldn’t kill me. Or how after you married the love of your life you called your brother who told you that you were making the biggest mistake of your life and that you were gonna end up alone and beaten just like your mother. If you had even one moment in your life that amounts to that pain and excuses your outbursts, please tell me!” Adams looks at her blankly confirming her answer, “I thought so. Now if I hear you yelling at a patient or family member like that or hear this childish tantrum at another superior surgeon, I will personally see to it that you are suspended without pay!” Adams looks down on the floor, “Get out of my sight.” Lucas walks away still furious at both his bosses and Dorian’s friends. Amber pinches the bridge of her nose and turns to Andrew with a frustrated look, “I swear I am close to killing that kid if he keeps pissing me off.”
“We both know he’s gonna keep pissing you off.” Andrew steps closer to Amber and grips her shoulder to bring her back down to earth, “He’s an idiot and you shouldn’t take what he said to heart. You didn’t abandon your mom and brother you just have a relationship that works better long distance.”
Amber sniffles, “He…He raised me and he loved me, he is the reason I was standing when Alex left. God he was my cheerleader when I was a cynical, snarky as hell goth teenager, and let me tell you I was a walking nightmare.” Andrew smirks at that as Amber continues, “I would always tell him that he wasn’t like our mother after he was diagnosed. Whenever he would get depressed, I just reminded him that no matter what he was the same fun, kind, pain in the ass big brother I grew up with.” Amber’s eyes turn watery with Andrew looking down at her in pity, “But when I told him I was getting married to you he…he said I was repeating what our mother did. He said I was gonna end up like our mother, married to an abusive asshole who left me to raise the kids on my own.”
Andrew inhales at the memory of comforting Amber after her last call to Aaron that led her to cry on his shoulder as he rocked her in his lap. Amber chuckles lightly wiping a tear away, “I guess I have myself to blame for that. He, Alex and Jackson were the ones I turned to when things were bad between us. Hearing your sister crying about how everyone she loves goes crazy and attacks her makes you hate the person responsible for the rest of your life.”
“Hey, come on don’t do that.” Andrew tips her chin up with his finger so he can look into his eyes. He looks into her tear stained eyes and says earnestly, “Don’t blame yourself for turning to the people you love when you were at your lowest. A low that I put you at by the way. If you want to blame someone for your brother’s bad choice of words then blame me. Blame me for hurting you and making your brothers hate me so much they couldn’t tell they hurt you too.”
“You didn’t choose the mania.” Amber reminds him.
“No but I did choose to ignore your concerns and lashed out when you tried to help me. Maybe Aaron could have expressed his worries differently but he did what he did because he loves you and wants to protect you. I know that because it’s how I feel about my sister. You don’t have to forget what he said, you just have to find a way to move past this with him. I said a lot worse than him and we moved past it and we’re better than ever. If we can do that after the hell, we’ve endured then you and your brother can do the same.”
Amber looks at Andrew in awe as she cradles his stubbly cheek, “How did I get so lucky?”
“I ask myself the same thing every time I look at you.” Andrew grins and kisses Amber before pulling her in for a hug that she takes in feeling comfort in his warmth and kindness.
Later
After hugging Amber and comforting her about her brother Andrew walks down the hall heading to the ICU to check on Dorian when he spots his sister-in-law, Maya Bishop yelling at Millin who looks scared. He knows how scary Maya can get and with a batch of hormones in her system for egg retrieval it’s like being face to face with a giant bear after stealing it’s food. Andrew quickly heads over to defuse the situation.
“Look can you just find her please? Is that so freaking hard to do around here? Are you interns really as useless as my wife and sister-in-law make you out to be?”
Jules clears her throat, “Um Mrs. DeLuca I’m sorry but your wife isn’t responding to her calls so she must be in surgery. I’m just a messenger.”
Maya looks even more angry with a vein popping out of her forehead, “You know what the famous quote is on what happens to messengers don’t you?”
Andrew faces Maya with scared but pleasant smile, “Hey Maya why don’t we take a walk and you can tell me why it’s so urgent to see Carina while Millin gets back to work, what do you say?”
Maya inhales and exhales sharply, “Fine as long as somebody here is useful!” Andrew leads Maya down the hall away from Millin and cuts to the chase.
“Okay what’s up? What do you need?”
Maya groans, “I need to inject my HCG trigger shots in.” Maya checks her watch, “Ten minutes otherwise my eggs won’t be mature enough to be retrieved and my wife won’t get pregnant and will hate me for not giving her a baby she and I so desperately want. I’m trying to find Carina to inject them because only drug addicts and diabetics are used to injecting themselves and I realized this while I was driving home after my inspections so-”
“Okay, okay it’s fine it’ll be fine.” Andrew leads her into the attendings lounge, “We’ll just do the shots here, I’ll help you. It’ll be quick and easy, give me the stuff.” Maya hands him the med pouch that he sets on the table, “And as thanks you can name your future kid after me, Andrew works for a boy or my given name Andrea in case it’s a girl.” He walks over to the sink to wash his hands, “Lift up your shirt for me.”
Maya does so and waits for Andrew to finish scrubbing and putting nylon gloves on from the pantry. He walks over and rips open the alcohol rub wipe when Maya confesses to him in a small and broken voice, “I found my uh…my brother.”
Andrew keeps his shock to himself and sighs in sadness for Maya, “I’m sorry.”
Maya sniffles while Andrew sterilizes her lower abdomen for the shot, “He’s so hateful. I thought-I thought a little piece of him was still left but he’s gone. When I talked to him it wasn’t until later that I realized…I realized I was talking to our father. I didn’t know until today that he became him, just full of hate and anger.” Andrew looks at her in sympathy and turns to fill the injections from the vials, “Oh my god I cut him off. How could I do that?”
“Maya-”
Maya cries, “I’m a horrible person. I left him with our father and now he’s like this because of me.”
“You were kids.” Her brother-in-law states factly, “You two were kids trying to survive a father who made you feel you had to compete for his love. He did that to your brother you didn’t so don’t blame yourself if Mason chose a different path that pushed the people who love him away.” Maya sniffles still crying, “You did what you had to do, not just for you but for your baby. He would have poisoned that little boy just like your dad poisoned him, you did what you had to do to protect your family. Don’t ever feel bad about that or apologize for it. It’s like with me and my dad I knew there was nothing I could do to make him better so I let him walk away. And when I got sick…I vowed that I wouldn’t let my kids do that with me. I had to end the cycle and so did you.” Andrew taps the needle and leans down to Bishop’s stomach, “Ready?”
Maya is still lifting her shirt, “Yeah.” Andrew inserts the needle causing her to groan softly.
After pushing in the hormones, he pulls the shot back and stands back up, “For whatever it’s worth, you’re already a great mom.” Maya looks up at him with red stained eyes, “Come here I got you.” He gently pulls her in for a hug that she doesn’t fight instead she wraps her arms around him and cries against his shoulder letting her grief swim out of her as her brother rubs her back and lets her break down in his arms telling her over and over ‘It’s okay’.
That Night
Amber sits on the king-sized bed with Lucy in her lap. On the bed beside them is an old converse show box with photos and other items inside it instead of her black converse that she wore out years ago. She decided to stroll down memory lane with Lucy so she can show her that even in a dark family like hers there’s still happy photo worthy moments in documentation.
“What do we have in here? What can mommy show you?” Amber gasps as she pulls out a photo of her at 15 wearing a Sandy Dee Summer’s Night costume for her high school production of Grease, “Wow look at this Lucy this is your mommy back when she was in theater.” Amber sings the famous song, “Summer loving happened so fast. I met a girl crazy for me.” Amber giggles at the memory, “Let’s hope you get my vocals instead of your dad’s.”
“Hey, come on I’m not John Travolta but I can rock the leather jacket and gelled back hair.” Amber sees Andrew outside the door grinning at them before hopping in and sitting beside his family. He digs into the shoebox, “Let’s see what else we can make fun of your mommy for.”
“Oh, don’t be so sure buddy because I got some pretty embarrassing pictures of you courtesy of Zia Carina.” Amber pulls out a photo of a young Andrew smiling and covered in marinara sauce causing them to laugh, “She told me how you spilled two jars of tomato sauce on yourself when you tried to reach a high shelf.”
“Yeah, your daddy was a little clumsy as a kid Lucy.” He looks at his daughter in Amber’s lap who holds a photo looking at it inquisitively, “Hopefully you don’t get that from me.”
“Oh, look at this.” Amber shows Lucy a photo of Aaron in his high school baseball uniform, “You know your uncle was so bad at baseball that he asked me to let him play in the sandlot with me and the other neighborhood boys. I tried telling him no because I knew he would embarrass me but he was persistent. He said he wanted to beat the rival baseball team but really, he just wanted to impress the girls in his class. Worked his way up to MVP though.” Lucy reaches out and touches the photo of her uncle Aaron, “That’s your uncle Aaron in a nutshell, loved to prove me wrong.”
Andrew smiles at her and pulls out a small and worn-out Matilda book from the box, “Your mom was a massive bookworm when she was little like you. She used to hang out at the library with your grandma and just scour the shelves for the next read.”
Amber grins and holds the book, “Yeah, your grandma Helen used to read me this during bedtime when I was little. She always liked to read me books about smart girls because that’s how girls are supposed to be written.” Lucy babbles and Amber pulls out a photo of herself at 8 years old in a hospital bed with white gauze wrapped around her head. Despite this she is smiling wide in the picture with Alex next to her grinning his cool guy grin, “That’s when mommy had a crush on Ryan Sheckler and thought she could do an ollie on her board just like him. But a visit to the ER and 12 stitches on the cranium proved me wrong. Don’t let the ‘I’m cool’ grin fool you; your uncle Alex was a mess before we took this photo. He badgered the doctors and the nurses and told them to run tests for any neuro injuries.” Amber grins at that memory, “He acts tough but he’s as soft as a marshmallow once you get past the crusty shell. You’ll see that just like I did.” Amber kisses Lucy’s head while Andrew grins at the sight holding Lucy’s tiny hand that is holding a photo. Amber digs into her box, “I don’t think we have a picture of your grandma in here…how about we call her and ask her for one?” Amber looks at Andrew who is taken back by this turn but stays supportive.
“Are you sure you want to call her?”
Amber inhales and looks at Lucy who holds a tiny mushroom plush, “Yeah why not. Let’s call her.” Amber pulls her phone out while Andrew moves Lucy from her lap to his as he watches Amber dialing the number and holding the phone to her ear, “It’s ringing…hey mom it’s me.” Andrew stays quiet as he observes hoping it goes well, “Yeah it has been a long time. I don’t know if you got my last text…” Amber chuckle sheepishly and scratches her head, “No I didn’t think you did, you rely on your home phone more than cell.” Andrew purses his lips at his theory being proven right while Amber talks to her mom on the phone, “Well listen that text was to tell you that me and Andrew were pregnant…no I’m not pregnant now I was about a year ago and seven months ago we had a baby. A little girl…I can imagine it’s shocking hearing about this just now sorry…her name is Lucia, we named her after Andrew’s mom.” Andrew grins at that kissing the top of Lucy’s head, “We’re calling her Lucy…Do you want to talk to your granddaughter? I can put her on for you if you want…okay.”
Andrew looks down at Lucy who looks at Amber blankly, “Do you want to talk to grandma?”
Amber moves the phone next to Lucy’s ear and smiles at her, “Say hi to grandma bambina.” Lucy babbles over the phone Amber is holding and her parents look at each other with grins on their faces over Lucy finally meeting her grandma.

Red White And Royal Blue OC Masterlist
Name: Abigail Claremont-Diaz
Story: Miss Americana
Face claim: Zion Moreno
Love Interest: Bea Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor
For all that Abigail Claremont-Diaz wanted to build a name for herself outside of being First Daughter Of The United States, she also couldn’t imagine her life without the past four years. Without her daily commute from the White House to the GWU campus, without the secret service always a step behind her, without the beautiful, bustling streets of DC to call her own. She missed Texas, it would always hold a special place in her heart, but she couldn’t imagine life if she’d never left. She certainly couldn’t imagine her life if she’d never started dating the Prince of Wales — although did it count as dating if her eyes always strayed to his sister? Abi had spent four years building her perfect life under the microscope of Capitol Hill but, much like a £75,000 wedding cake, her twin brother’s lack of impulse control and obsession with her boyfriend had to send it crashing down around her.
Name: Caroline Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor
Story: Sweet Caroline
Face claim: Sabrina Carpenter
Love Interest: Oliver Cochrane
Caroline Henrietta Alexandria Theresa Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor. Princess of Wales. Britain’s sweetheart, the tragic princess. If her life were her own, maybe Caroline could have followed her dreams, could have followed her father’s footsteps and become an actress, the first female James Bond. But her life belonged to crown and country, and Caroline’s free will only extended far enough to choose which media smile to use on any given day. Caroline Fox had dreams, hopes, ambitions, secrets. Princess Caroline was just a doll, a piece in her grandmother’s never ending game of chess. This time, Caroline’s job was simple: to clean up the mess caused by her older brother and her dearest friend, to make the so-called Cakegate look like a silly misstep between best friends and not like an international incident that could determine the fate of American politics for the next four years and beyond. In theory, it shouldn’t have been too hard, after all, Henry and Alex were quite possibly her two favourite people in the world, and Caroline had never not been able to charm her way out of trouble. The only problem is that her grandmother’s plan involves a staging a relationship and eventually an engagement, possibly even another royal wedding. The only problem is that this relationship would be between Caroline herself and Alex Claremont-Diaz. The only problem is that Caroline knows that Henry has been in love with Alex for the past four years.
Name: Cate Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor
Story: Diamond Eyes
Face claim: Liz Gillies
Love Interest: June Claremont-Diaz & Nora Holleran
Name: Eileen Eisner
Story: Come On Eileen
Face claim: Lily Collins
Name: Isabel Luna
Story: We Built This City
Face claim: Ana De Armas
Frankly, the entire goddamn country should feel grateful that Isabel Luna loves Alex Claremont-Diaz as much as she does. She wouldn’t be stepping back from her beloved — and well earned, no nepotism required — job as her older brother’s chief of staff to babysit just any First Child for the entire year leading up to Ellen’s reelection. But it was Alex. Alex, who she’d known for pretty much ever. Alex, who she’d comforted through his first heartbreak. Who she’d given his very first shot of tequila, who she’d mentored when they worked together on Raf’s campaign. Alex, who was her brother just as much as Rafael. And it was for Ellen — and maybe Isa wasn’t as close to her as she was to Oscar, but Ellen had always been an inspiration to her and she would do whatever it took to ensure that she beat Richards in the election. Besides, she’d been babysitting Alex since he was a pubescent little shit, she was probably the most qualified person to wrangle him around for the next year. Honestly, preventing another Cakegate level international incident should have been easy; if only Alex hadn’t decided to fall in love - and bed - with the Prince of Wales.
Name: Kennedy Quinlan
Story: Winding Roads
Face claim: Ashley Benson
Kennedy Quinlan couldn’t remember a time before Alex Claremont-Diaz. The three musketeers, along with their other best friend Liam, they’d been inseparable since pre-school. For well over a decade, they had done everything together. And yes, Kennedy had known that graduation would change everything, but she hadn’t expected this. With Ellen winning her election, Alex no longer had a reason to return to Austin. With Kennedy on the road, following wherever the rodeo circuit led, she never had time to visit either boy. And Liam, well, she wasn’t sure what had happened, but he had completely ghosted. Without her best friends to ground her, Kennedy lost herself in her horses. No other life, no other interests, being “Rodeo Barbie” had become her life, not just her job. That was all that she was. Until the fall.Injured, untethered, with no idea who or what she wanted to be if she wasn’t a rodeo star, Kennedy had no idea what was supposed to come next. Until Mama Ellen offered her an internship under Zahra Bankston, a home within the White House, and some semblance of direction in her life. But Kennedy is no longer the girl she’d once been, and Alex is no longer the boy she once knew, and one way or another, the impending election was going to force Kennedy to figure out who exactly she is.
Name: London Carter
Story: Closer To Fine
Face claim: Emily Alyn Lind
London Carter had plans. She had plans for graduating Magna Cum Laude with a double major in political science and international relations. She had plans to work on Ellen Claremont’s reelection campaign, to help make another four years of Claremont-Holleran a reality. She had plans for winning her senate seat, and for becoming Secretary of State. She had plans to be Vice President in the Claremont-Diaz Carter administration of 2032-2040 alongside her best friend, FSOTUS Alex Claremont-Diaz. Her plans did not include Alex causing an international incident with the Prince Of England. Her plans also did not include having to use every bit of her upcoming international relations degree to clean up his mess. And her plans definitely did not include Alex falling in love with said Prince Of England, especially in the middle of Ellen’s reelection.
Name: Lucy Kent
Story: Lucy In The Sky
Face claim: Maude Apatow
Name: Madison Richards
Story: All-American Bitch
Face claim: Madelaine Petsch
Aside from her general and entirely justified dislike for her father, Madison Richards had several other issues with his plan for her to – in his words – seduce the youngest British prince and steal the trade deal out from President Claremont. To start, judging by the fact that he had never once attempted to sneak a glance down her dresses, Madison suspected that she was far from Prince Henry’s type. Furthermore, his plan failed to consider the fact that she had spent the whole campaign trail so far sneaking around for clandestine hookups with Alex Claremont-Diaz, the First Son himself. And, last but certainly not least, her father still had no idea that she had spent her entire time in rehab sleeping with the Prince’s older sister. But then again, getting herself in close quarters with the Prince and Princess of Wales and the First Son could only help in her own plan: to do whatever it takes to stop her father from getting elected.
Name: Margaret Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor
Story: Heartbreak Princess
Face claim: Florence Pugh
Love Interest: Pez Ojonjo
Where Henry was the Prince Of England’s Hearts, Margaret had always been the Heartbreak Princess. Filling the void left by her father’s death with a string of meaningless flings, Margaret had never been anything but completely transparent about what she was looking for: a distraction. Not love, never love, but a way to pass the time in between Bea’s breakdowns, Mary’s lectures, and trying to draw Henry out of his shell. But when Henry falls into a cake, and a torrid romance, with the American First Son, Margaret finds herself swept up in an international whirlwind as she tries desperately to protect her twin brother’s heart — only to realize that in doing so, she may have left her own heart far more open than she’d ever intended.
Name: Oliver Cochrane
Story: Sweet Caroline
Face claim: Thomas Doherty
Love Interest: Caroline Fox

Just because I’m weird, here’s some Winx Club Singing Voice/speaking voice headcanons
Bloom: Her voice is definitely pretty strong and has a lot of depth to it, since she’s done a lot of karaoke on earth and singing to herself. But, ever since she’s become the lead singer of the band, Musa’s been giving her some voice lessions
Stella: This bitch is extra as FUCK! I imagine her sounding like literally anyone who has played Glinda( soprano) in Wicked.
Flora: Her voice is a bit like fluttershy from mlp, soft and quiet, yet really pretty. Her voice may be a bit stronger than Fluttershy’s tho. I like to think that our favorite plant mom sings/hums when she’s in the greenhouse tending to as growing different plants.
Aisha: Whoever the voice is that sang Dreamin in my Way. To me, that is the perfect Aisha singing voice.
Tecna: She has a pretty weak voice, since she doesn’t really sing a lot. But, she does hum while she’s working/doing techno shit.
Musa: This bitch is a 👏VOCAL👏POWERHOUSE! Like, this woman is definitely a mezzo soprano (in the middle between a soprano and an alto) and has a WIDE range of notes that she can sing. Yes, she can and will add a shit ton of riffs whenever she sings. Think Liz Gillies kind of depth and power. Still kinda deep put still able to hit those high notes

cleaning up my ‘nhie catchall’ doc and found this cut/repurposed/restructured moment from the first boink that might make ya laugh
“God,” Devi says as she scoots herself back toward the center of the mattress. “Could you imagine if Patty had walked in on us?”
He rejoins her on the bed, kneeling in front of her and giving an affected shudder. “Not how I pictured my first time playing out.”
She perks up. “Oh, yeah? What have you pictured, exactly?”
“I don’t know,” he says, rubbing at the back of his neck. “Just… Something significantly less traumatizing.”
She’s not sure why that’d be the case, but to her practiced ear, it sounds like he’s lying.
Pulling her knees against her chest, she says, “You always imagined it’d be with someone else, didn’t you?”
“I mean,” he says, still not looking her in the eye, “I met Liz Gillies at an event with my dad when I was twelve and spent several years convinced she’d be the one to deflower me, so.” He does look at her then. “Don’t take it personally.”
Several responses occur to Devi at once—ambitious and whatever, I wasn’t picturing you either and just tell me whatever it is you’re not saying—before she decides on, “‘Deflower’?”
He turns bright red. “I didn’t mean—”
“So, after tonight,” she says, cutting him off, “am I allowed to tell people I deflowered you?”
His nostrils flare. “Absolutely not.”
She releases her knees, leans into his space til they’re nose-to-nose. “And how are you going to stop me?”
He stares at her mouth. “It’s one of my conditions, actually.”
“The conditions I haven’t agreed to, you mean?”

ᅠᅠThis a semi canon portrayal of Jade West, from the Nickelodeon show Victorious, in her current age, since it's been a decade from the finale of Victorious and I have been roleplaying her since it aired. High school SLs will not be written, unless it is a flashback, because my muse for this character has surpassed this era.
I am not Liz Gillies, nor do I claim to be her or the fictional character of Jade West. This is just a roleplay/ parody account, for entertainment purposes only.
Multiverse but singleship, and welcome to interact with everyone.
The writer is definitely of age, she/her. A working woman as you can imagine, so usually the schedule varies. Please don't pressure me for replies.
Spanish and English will be used, but the writer wasn't born speaking any of the above, she's Greek. So if you see any mistakes, you are more than welcome to correct me kindly. I love to learn.
Consent and connection is key. Please don't force smut on my character if she clearly isn't interested. I can't believe I have to say this.
Also, since the writer is very much an adult and of course, there are definitely many sensitive themes handled with care, here, viewer discretion is adviced.
Minors, please do not interact.

ᅠᅠ
𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲:
𝕾𝖊𝖑𝖋 𝖕𝖆𝖎𝖉, 𝖘𝖊𝖑𝖋 𝖒𝖆𝖉𝖊, 𝖇𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖎𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖎𝖗𝖊.
ᅠᅠ
ᅠᅠㅤ Jade West, neé Jadelyn August West, was born on the 26th of July, 1996.
The result of the lethal combination of John and Pamela West was this fiery Leo, whose story is definitely not fairytale.
Let's take it from the start.
John and Pamela were involved in a marriage of convenience (Pamela left her true love to marry John, so that she could have commodities) that would also forge an alliance between two of the most acknowledged families in the circles of the illegal in New York. The newly weds moved to LA to cover up their tracks and there, Jade was born. Only to be violently separated from her mother, when John divorced and kicked his wife out, taking every penny from her and faking her death, only to marry the real love of his life, with whom he has had an affair for years, a couple of months later.
As a result, Jade grew up without a motherly figure, under the crumbs of nonexistent affection of her father and step mother. Jade grew up amongst questionable people, making questionable choices, only to gain a little bit of attention from her father, who clearly showed his
preference for the various children he had with her step mother, whom he adored, much to Jade's dismay.
"He just wants to hang out with his new wife and her yappy little dog."
Whenever Jade brought up her mom, she was dismissed, or often times punished for it, as "that belonged to the past".
She spent a lonely, miserable childhood, doing none of the common things kids her age did. And an even more miserable adolescence, where she rebelled against everything, in every aspect. She changed her looks, threatened to reveal their dirty little
secrets if they didn't let her change schools from the preppy college to Hollywood Arts, she completely disobeyed everyone and got into trouble constantly. The only rocks in these hard years, were her then boyfriend Beck and Cat Valentine. Her best friend.
On the day of her
eighteenth birthday, she received a letter from an anonymous source that apparently was her mother. Not only was she not dead, but also wrote to inform her daughter about the whole truth. All of her father's schemes and plots and of course, she warned her. That if she wanted to stay alive and well, she should never look for her.
The girl confronted her father, and of course, was forced to make a choice. Threatened into it. And she did. She was going to find her mother, which infuriated West and the same night, he kicked her out of the house, in the streets, with no prospects.
And of course, to worsen things, he made sure he would close all of the doors for his daughter so that she wouldn't be able to find a job. Until she managed to become a dancer in an ominous club. Years and years trying to make end's meat. With one goal in mind. Finding her mother. She spent most of her miniscule salary, paying detectives. Until one day, she crossed paths with one the people that marked her life.
Dante Van Kirk, prince and now king of Averna, who had escaped his country, unwilling to follow his mother's wishes. They met and it was instant hatred that turned into a deep, passionate love. They were together for years. He encouraged Jade to get unto university, to follow her dreams, to begin a career.
Until his mother made sure to fake his death and make him disappear for years, being in a hospital in the middle of nowhere, amnesiac and in a coma. (However, it was relieved that he was in on the plan, aswell, later on. )
The queen mother also made sure that the offspring that Jade carried without knowing was never born, leaving her with hardly any chances of being able to conceive again without treatments.
Jade however, made it. She graduated from the university, having studied economics, marketing and administration, she got the kick starter of her horror movie running, and the film was a hit, instantly catapulting her into fame and more acting roles. And with the money that she earned, she turned a little online fashion blog that she was administrating in her free time, into an empire. The empire known today as "RUNWAY". Of course the name was inspired by the movie we all imagine.
That way she established herself as one of the most successful women of her age and of the decade and as a respected self made entrepreneur and fashion mogul.
About a year and a half ago, Dante was found, supposedly and his "widow" was notified that she had
another chance to live the fairytale. But you see, things are never the same. A whole year of relationship, in which Jade did everything for Dante to remember and when he did, his mother was always in the middle of everything, attempting various times against Jade's life. The love became a habit, the habit an obligation and it seems that love gave its place to the survival of the strongest and convenience. Jade and Dante got married to spite the queen mother and basically prevent the man from marrying his own cousin and divorced exactly two weeks after, leaving only one good thing behind. Lauren.
Jade actually made it. After all those years of treatment and all that money, she was actually pregnant. She made it. Dante returned to Averna and actually became king, the queen mother, thanks to Jade's aid was
actually punished for her crimes and ended up in prison and a healthy, happy baby was brought into this world, almost nine months after the divorce. Lauren.
In retrospect, after numerous attempts against Jade, Dante ended up six feet under, right next to his victims, because nothing is what it seems, leaving Averna headless.

ᅠᅠ
ᅠᅠA few days after the divorce papers were finally out, Jade met William (Liam) Smith, in the most random way. From working together, to a insufferable enemy, to a passionate lover, to a family. He was the person that assisted Jade in protecting Lauren since the beginning.
That brought them closer and slowly but surely they fell in love. The relationship lasted almost two years, but the differences in the upbringing and Jade's tumultuous life, separated them, leading to the divorce, six months after their marriage. Two different words that clashed, brought an abrupt ending to what seemed to be a fairytale life.ᅠᅠᅠᅠ

ᅠᅠ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲:
ᅠᅠ
ᅠᅠㅤ
ᅠᅠ
Narcissistic, her ego is above and beyond everything and she can do no wrong, grumpy, bossy, judgmental, easily irritated, with an eyebrow constantly arched because they apparently have their own personality. Manipulative, excellent liar, very good with the press. Every single thing she hates she is traumatized by. Doesn't trust or love easily, but when she does, she gives it the world and even more. She doesn't love often, but when she does, the world is very little compared to what she can offer. Shows her soft side only to very few. Elegant and soft spoken when the occasion requires it, but vulgar and loud when someone needs to see her dark side. She left the goth image behind, in her teenage years, because now all the wrath is just internalized. Strict, horrible boss, tender friend and caring lover and mother, even if she never expected to be one. Fair and brutally honest, craving the joy and the affection she was never given. ᅠᅠ

Ya adulta, no se escribirán SL de Hollywood Arts, a menos que sea un flashback, porque la representación de este personaje ha superado esta época.
No soy Liz Gillies, ni pretendo ser ella o el personaje ficticio de Jade West. Esto es sólo un roleplay / cuenta de parodia, sólo para fines de entretenimiento.
Multiverso pero singleship, y dispuesta a interactuar con todo el mundo. La user es definitivamente mayor de edad. Esta mujer trabaja como un perro, por lo que normalmente el horario varía. Por favor, no me presionen para obtener respuestas.
Se usará español e inglés, pero la user no nació hablando ninguno de los anteriores, es griega, así que si ven algún error, bienvenidos sean a corregirlo amablemente. Repito, amablemente.
La clave es el consentimiento y la conexión. Por favor, no fuercen sexrol con mi personaje si ella claramente no está interesada. No puedo creer que tenga que decir esto.
Además, ya que se tratarán varios temas sensibles con cuidado en una que otra trama, aquí, se recomienda la discreción del espectador.

¡Gracias por llegar hasta aquí!ᅠᅠ
Jade West, neé Jadelyn August West, nació el 26 de julio de 1996.
El resultado de la combinación letal de John y Pamela West fue esta ardiente Leo, cuya historia definitivamente no es de cuento de hadas.
John y Pamela se vieron envueltos en un matrimonio de conveniencia (Pamela dejó al amor de su vida, para poder tener todos los lujos que le faltaban) que forjaría una alianza entre dos de las familias más reconocidas en los círculos ilegales de Nueva York. Los recién casados se trasladaron a Los Ángeles para ocultar sus huellas y allí nació Jade. Sólo para ser separada violentamente de su madre, cuando John se divorció y echó a su mujer, quitándole hasta el último centavo y fingiendo su muerte, sólo para casarse un par de meses después con el verdadero amor de su vida, con quien ha tenido una aventura durante años.
Como resultado, Jade creció sin una figura materna, bajo las migajas del inexistente afecto de su padre y su madrastra. Jade creció entre gente cuestionable, tomando decisiones cuestionables, sólo para ganar un poco de atención de su padre, que mostraba claramente su preferencia por los varios hijos que tuvo con su madrastra, a la que adoraba, para consternación de Jade.
"Sólo quiere pasar el rato con su nueva esposa y su perrita chillona".
Cada vez que Jade sacaba a relucir el tema de su madre, era descartada, o a menudo castigada por ello, ya que "eso pertenecía al pasado".
Pasó una infancia solitaria y miserable, sin hacer nada de lo que hacían los niños de su edad. Y una adolescencia aún más miserable, en la que se revelaba contra todo, en todos los aspectos. Cambió de aspecto, amenazó con revelar sus pequeños y sucios secretos si no la dejaban cambiar de colegio, para irse de este "lleno de pijos" al Hollywood Arts, desobedeció completamente a todo el mundo y se metió en líos constantemente. Las únicas personas que le brindan estabilidad en estos duros años, fueron su entonces novio Beck y Cat Valentine. Su mejor amiga.
Cómo cambian las cosas... Hoy, ella diría que sus pilares más estables son su hermana biologica Trina, (sí, aparentemente Holly la tuvo con West y no con David Vega) y Micky, que el destino les unió en la fiesta de una amiga común, hace años.
El día de su decimoctavo cumpleaños, recibió una carta de una fuente anónima que aparentemente era su madre. No sólo no estaba muerta, sino que además escribía para informar a su hija de toda la verdad. Todos los planes y complots de su padre y, por supuesto, le advirtió. Que si quería seguir viva y sana, no debía buscarla nunca.
La chica se enfrentó a su padre y, por supuesto, se vio obligada a tomar una decisión. Amenazada. Y lo hizo. Iba a buscar a su madre, lo que enfureció a West y esa misma noche, él la echó de casa, a la calle, sin ni nisiquiera dejarla recoger sus cosas.
Y claro, para empeorar las cosas, se aseguró de cerrarle todas las puertas a su hija para que no pudiera encontrar trabajo. Hasta que consiguió ser bailarina en un club de ominoso. Años y años intentando sacar dos centavos para por lo menos, poder comer. Con un único objetivo en mente. Encontrar a su madre. Gastó la mayor parte de su minúsculo sueldo, pagando a detectives. ¿Y qué entendió? Su madre la odió hasta su último aliento y se aseguró de decírselo.
Hasta que un día, se cruzó con una de las personas que marcaron su vida. Dante Van Kirk, príncipe y ahora rey de Averna, que había escapado de su país, no dispuesto a seguir los deseos de su madre. Se conocieron y fue un odio instantáneo que se convirtió en un amor profundo y apasionado. Estuvieron juntos durante años. Él animó a Jade a ir a la universidad, a seguir sus sueños, a empezar una carrera.
Hasta que su madre se aseguró de fingir su muerte y hacerlo desaparecer durante años, estando en un hospital en medio de la nada, amnésico y en coma. (Al final se reveló que él también estaba metido en este plan, literalmente siguiendo las ordenes de su madre. )
Sin embargo, Jade lo consiguió.
Se graduó en la universidad, habiendo estudiado economía, marketing y administración, se puso a grabar su película de terror, y la película fue un éxito, catapultándola instantáneamente a la fama y a más papeles de actriz. Y con el dinero que ganó, convirtió un pequeño blog de moda online que administraba en su tiempo libre, en un imperio. El imperio conocido hoy como "RUNWAY MAGAZINE". Por supuesto, el nombre se inspiró en la película que todos imaginamos.
De este modo, se consolidó como una de las mujeres con más éxito de su edad y de la década y como una respetada empresaria y magnate de la moda.
Hace año y medio, Dante fue encontrado, supuestamente, y su "viuda" recibió la notificación de que tenía otra oportunidad de vivir el cuento de hadas de nuevo. Pero las cosas nunca vuelven a ser como antes. Un año entero de relación, en el que Jade hizo de todo para que Dante se acordara y cuando lo hizo, su madre siempre estuvo en medio de todo, atentando varias veces contra la vida de Jade. El amor se convirtió en un costumbre, conveniencia, la la costumbre en una obligación y parece que el amor cedió su lugar a la supervivencia del más fuerte.
Jade y Dante se casaron para fastidiar a la reina madre y básicamente impedir que el hombre se casara con su propia prima y se divorciaron exactamente dos semanas después, dejando sólo una cosa buena. Lauren.
Jade realmente lo logró. Después de todos esos años de tratamiento y todo ese dinero, estaba realmente embarazada. Lo logró.
(Y un tiempo más tarde, el rey de Averna, acabó en el ataud, después de varios intentos fallidos de acabar con la vida de Jade, tomando por fin su merecido.)
Pocos días después de que se publicaran los papeles del divorcio, Jade conoció a su segundo marido, de la forma más rara. Pasaron de trabajar juntos, a enemigos insufribles, a amantes apasionados. a familia. Él fue la persona que ayudó a Jade a proteger a Lauren desde el principio.
Eso los acercó y, poco a poco, se fueron enamorando. El amor les duró casi dos años, pero las diferencias de estilo de vida y la diferencia de ritmos, de crecimiento, la oscuridad y la luz, poco a poco fueron alejando la pareja que medio año después de la boda, se divorció.

ᅠᅠ 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐝:
Narcisista, su ego está por encima de todo y no puede hacer nada mal, gruñona, mandona, criticona, se irrita fácilmente, con una ceja constantemente arqueada porque aparentemente sus cejas tienen personalidad propia. Manipuladora, excelente mentirosa, muy buena con la prensa.
Cada cosa que odia, es un trauma que no se sanó.
No confía ni ama con facilidad, pero cuando lo hace, le da el mundo e incluso más. Muestra su lado blando sólo a muy pocos. Elegante y suave cuando la ocasión lo requiere, pero vulgar y ruidosa cuando alguien necesita ver su ado amargo.
Dejó atrás la imagen "de gótica frustrada" como la llamaban, en su adolescencia, porque ahora toda la ira la tiene interiorizada. Jefa estricta y horrible, amiga tierna y amante cariñosa.
Una madre ejemplar, aunque nunca esperó serlo. Justa y brutalmente honesta, anhela la alegría y el afecto que nunca le dieron.
Conocedora de los negocios y extremadamente inteligente, es capaz de mover montañas con una sola frase. Mujer de de hierro y mirada en el cielo.

Originally created May 21st, 2018 by Jade West, as a fashion blog, with its first post being a constructive review of the outfits in that years MET GALA, followed by uploaded sketches designed by West herself, and suggestions about what some of them could have been, corrections, additions, adjustments as well as suggestions.
That first post was very well acclaimed, catapulting it directly into what we would call "being viral" today. West claims it was just a side hobby to distract her from personal events and the stress of her newly started career as a horror movie actress. But until the end of the same year, not only did her first horror movie become a complete banger, but also the blog was becoming more and more acclaimed and recognized, leading her to expand the variety of the subjects treated on it, slowly turning it into an actual online magazine and changing the blog's url to just "Runway".
West claims that seeing the joy this brought her and the acceptance of her work, she sat down and calculated her hits and misses, after her first large paycheck from the profits of her horror movie. And then, it was.. As she says that «she took the risk of her life, it was win everything or fail miserably. It was all a bet. Or it would work, or I would lose the...first huge paycheck of my acting career trying to pursue a dream that would never come.
But apparently luck favors those who gamble and in fact, on November of 2019, the offices of Runway Magazine were finally opening their doors, in Los Angeles.
The first physical copy was sold in December of 2019, with its renovating Christmas edition, that was apparently anticipated by the readers of the digital version.
Apparently, West won the bet, smart enough to know that the public was not looking for something that would
resemble all the rest. And this is precisely why the breeze of fresh air that the eccentric and renovating ideas it presented captivated the public eye.
You could say that it includes everything you would expect from a typical fashion spread, just... A little bit more modern, out of the norm, leaving the past and its stereotypes behind, giving a fresh point of view to what we call fashion and well being.
And this is how 𝑹𝑼𝑵𝑾𝑨𝒀 𝑴𝑨𝑮𝑨𝒁𝑰𝑵𝑬 was born, from the ashes of the decadent and obsolete.
By December 2020, it sent West flying to the top, recognized as one of the youngest visionaries of the world, aged barely twenty three. She had managed to go from crawling her way to the top, to stomping on every single critic of her job one expensive heeled step at a time.
The magazine, that began only with offices in the United States, managed to expand all over the world, with its latest department being the one of France, inaugurated by West herself, in May of 2023.
The magazine's success and the fact that West has kept creative control of
all departments all over the world, managed to land her plenty of award nominations, victories and titles. Amongst those, notorious is the fact that she was featured in
𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒃𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒆'𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂'𝒔 𝑹𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒇-𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑, achievement she claimed was «well deserved, as she went from starving, to actually being able to take care of herself and many more families all over the world.
When asked about this success, West claims that it is only «a lot of hard work and just a tiny pinch of good luck. »
𝑹𝑼𝑵𝑾𝑨𝒀 𝑴𝑨𝑮𝑨𝒁𝑰𝑵𝑬, can still be found both in digital, but also phyisical form, winning the bet of actually achieving the goal of selling physical copies like fresh bread, in the day and age of such advanced technology.

Creado originalmente el 21 de mayo de 2018 por Jade West, como un blog de moda, siendo su primer post una crítica constructiva de los atuendos de la MET GALA de ese año, seguido de bocetos subidos diseñados por la propia West, y sugerencias sobre lo que podrían haber sido algunos de ellos, correcciones, añadidos, ajustes, etc.
Ese primer post fue muy aclamado, catapultándolo directamente a lo que hoy llamaríamos "ser viral". West afirma que sólo era un pasatiempo secundario para distraerse de sus acontecimientos personales y del estrés de su recién iniciada carrera como actriz de películas de terror. Pero hasta finales de ese mismo año, no sólo su primera película de terror se convirtió en todo un éxito, sino que además el blog era cada vez más aclamado y reconocido, lo que la llevó a ampliar la variedad de los temas tratados en él, convirtiéndolo poco a poco en una auténtica revista online y cambiando la url del blog a simplemente "Runway".
West afirma que, al ver la alegría que esto le producía y la aceptación de su trabajo y su éxito, se sentó a calcular sus aciertos y errores, tras su primer gran sueldo procedente de los beneficios de su película de terror. Y entonces, así fue. Como ella misma dice, "corrió el riesgo de su vida, era ganarlo todo o fracasar estrepitosamente. Todo era una apuesta. O funcionaba, o perdería el......primer gran sueldo de mi carrera como actriz intentando perseguir un sueño que nunca llegaría."
Pero, al parecer, la suerte favorece a los audaces y, de hecho, en noviembre de 2019, las oficinas de Runway Magazine abrían por fin sus puertas, en Los Ángeles.
El primer ejemplar físico se vendió en diciembre de 2019, con su renovadora edición navideña, que al parecer fue anticipada por los lectores de la versión digital.
Al parecer, West ganó la apuesta, lo suficientemente inteligente como para saber que el público no buscaba algo que se pareciera a todo lo demás. Y precisamente por eso, la brisa de aire fresco que supusieron las ideas excéntricas y renovadoras que presentó cautivó al público.
Se podría decir que incluye todo lo que cabría esperar de una típica difusión de moda, sólo que... Un poco más modernizado, fuera de la norma, dejando atrás el pasado y sus estereotipos, dando un punto de vista fresco a lo que llamamos moda y bienestar.
Y así es como nació 𝑹𝑼𝑵𝑾𝑨𝒀 𝑴𝑨𝑮𝑨𝒁𝑰𝑵𝑬, de las cenizas de lo decadente y obsoleto.
En diciembre de 2020, envió a West a lo más alto, reconocida como uno de las visionarias más jóvenes del mundo, con apenas veintitrés años. Había conseguido pasar de arrastrarse hasta la cima, a pisotear todas y cada una de las críticas de su trabajo, paso a paso con sus tacones caros.
La revista, que empezó sólo con oficinas en Estados Unidos, consiguió expandirse por todo el mundo, siendo su último departamento el de Francia, inaugurado por la propia West, en mayo de 2023.
El éxito de la revista y el hecho de que West haya mantenido el control creativo de todos los departamentos en todo el mundo le han valido numerosas nominaciones a premios, victorias y títulos. Entre ellos, es notorio el hecho de que apareció en
𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒃𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒆'𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂'𝒔 𝑹𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒇- 𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝑾𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑, logro que, según ella, era "bien merecido, ya que pasó de morirse de hambre a poder cuidar de sí misma y de muchas más familias en todo el mundo."
Cuando se le pregunta por este éxito, West afirma que es sólo "mucho trabajo duro y sólo una pizca de buena suerte".
𝑹𝑼𝑵𝑾𝑨𝒀 𝑴𝑨𝑮𝑨𝒁𝑰𝑵𝑬, aún puede encontrarse tanto en formato digital, como físico, ganando la apuesta de conseguir realmente el objetivo de vender copias físicas como pan fresco, en los tiempos de una tecnología tan avanzada.

“Yeah, I F*cked That Up” Podcast To Focus On Failure & Redemption
Do you know what has become an unfortunate meme in today's society? The refusal to admit a mistake. Consider the trivial: In 2019, President Donald Trump introduces Apple CEO Tim Cook as "Tim Apple." It's an innocent mistake. Could happen to anybody. End of story. But the story refuses to die after Trump refutes actual video and audio evidence and claims he said, "Tim Cook Apple."
How about more serious mistakes? Russia sells Alaska to the United States in 1867 for $7.2 million and still refuses to admit what a blunder that was. Can you imagine our world today if Russia owned Alaska? Putin would probably be invading Canada.
Or how about the literary geniuses who rejected J.K. Rowling's first Harry Potter novel? There were twelve of them. One editor was so sure Rowling's work would be a flop that he had advised her to immediately begin looking for a part-time day job.
People mess up all the time. We all do. That's why I'm excited about a new podcast about screwing up royally.
Interval Presents, Warner Music Group’s (WMG) in-house podcast network, has unveiled details about its new series and released the trailer for Yeah, I F*cked That Up. The interview series premiering Tuesday, July 11, 2023, with featured guests Kelly Rowland and Steven Van Zandt is hosted by Grammy-nominated hitmaker Billy Mann, who has produced and written songs for some of the world’s most well-known musicians over the course of his 25+ year career.
The series, produced by Silver Sound, challenges the stigma of failure as Mann highlights stories of defeat from prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Yeah, I F*cked That Up joins Interval Presents' growing slate of audio programming.
Inspired by his personal experiences, Mann delves into the humanity behind success in Yeah, I F*cked That Up, stripping away the polished exterior to explore stories of failure, redemption and personal growth. In the episodes, Mann engages with a diverse lineup of famous guests who have weathered their fair share of struggles and professional setbacks during their careers.
The full guest lineup includes Kelly Rowland, Steven Van Zandt, Renée Elise Goldsberry, L.A. Reid, Liz Gillies, Aly & AJ, Hari Kondabolu, Evan Handler, Jill Kargman, Peter Asher, and Chely Wright.
According to Warner Music, "Yeah, I F*cked That Up aims to inspire, enlighten and entertain listeners with candid and revealing conversations as they learn from the brightest stars’ best—and worst—experiences building endurance on the way to the top."
“In a small screen world of autotuning faces and voices where we tend to only post our highlights, my goal in creating this show is to remind listeners that it’s actually the scary, vulnerable moments of self-doubt and failure that often turn out to be the best breeding ground for growth and success,” expressed Billy Mann, host of the Yeah, I F*cked That Up series. “I’m so excited to partner with Interval Presents to share these inspiring --and sometimes surprising) -- anecdotes from so many favorite names in entertainment with an audience that is surely navigating its own unique paths and obstacles.”
"I was really intrigued by Billy’s idea for Yeah, I F*cked That Up, a heartfelt and inspirational show with compelling stories about not only regret and loss, but also triumph and success,” said Allan Coye, general manager of Interval Presents and WMG's senior vice president of Digital Strategy & Business Development. “Authenticity is important for every Interval Presents show, and we know this series will resonate—the topics will touch many chords, but do so from a place of care, vulnerability, and thoughtfulness.”
Listen to the Yeah, I F*cked That Up podcast trailer. The first two episodes will premiere Tuesday, July 11, 2023, on all major podcast platforms. New episodes will be released weekly on Tuesdays following the launch.

CHARACTER INFORMATION
face claim: Liz Gillies
full name: Veronica Dantes
nickname(s): V, Ronnie/Roni, Nic
pronouns & gender: She/Her, cis woman
sexuality: Straight
birth date: 10/31/1990
birth place: Merrock, Maine
time in town: Her whole life

occupation: Lawyer
family: Deceased
personality: Sarcastic, Unforgiving, Vengeful, Loyal, Kind, Trustworthy
BACKGROUND / BIO
trigger warnings: abuse, child abuse, death, parental death, car accident.
Veronica Dantes was born to a very well-known married couple in town. Her upbringing on the outside was extravagant, luxurious, and envied. Her parents sold the story that their precious, only child and daughter was loved and raised in a house filled with warmth, love, and kindness. Unfortunately behind closed doors it was anything but. The house was cold and harsh, and The truth was Veronica’s parents were abusive. The abuse caused a certain change in Veronica, a change very few saw but the mark it left was irreparable. The feelings her parents had for her were unclear. If they loved her then why did they treat her with just disdain and hatred? And if they hated her why did they have and keep her? However, if you were to ask Veronica she wholeheartedly still holds some love and affection for them.
The one thing that gave Veronica comfort in her time during all this was her friendship with Cordelia. The two met as kids and immediately bonded ever since, despite the differences in their upbringing the two have always had each other’s backs and Veronica always looked forward to seeing her sunshine face. Cordelia and her brother Lucas were the only people she talked about the abuse to. The fear in her voice as she told them was apparent and clear as day. She wanted to tell Cordy without hesitation. Lucas, she wasn't sure until she knew he wouldn't say anything. They both vow to never tell anyone, a promise they have continued to kept to this very day.
Veronica has worked hard for everything she has including her job at Bardales Inc. Being a lawyer was not something she first envisioned herself as when she was a child, however, she can’t imagine doing anything else. As one would imagine her childhood left a mark on her, and for the most part, it was for the worst. Only one thing came out of it, her career as a lawyer. Veronica saw being a lawyer as a way to help those who can’t help themselves. She has worked hard to prove herself to her boss.
As of right now, Veronica is trying to deal with her parents passing in a car crash. The feelings are complicated because she wants to hate them and be glad they are dead. Unfortunately, a part of her is. There’s also another part that wishes they didn't die. Wishes they could had a last-minute conversation. She always wishes not everyone in town judged her for not breaking down in tears, every time they mention them. If only, they knew. If only she wasn't abused. If only she had someone to help her. If only.

Victorious Preferences // Jealousy
Beck: when beck sees a guy talking to you and very obviously flirting, he can't keep his eyes off of you. He tracks your every move, waiting for the guy to try and touch you before intervening. Cat calls his name and he tries his best to focus on her but his eyes keep straying to you.
Robbie: Robbie would get a little worried. He would think you're a million miles out of his league so he'll get a bit insecure when he sees another guy flirting with you. You'd reassure him when you see that defeated look on his face, and then you'd kiss him right in front of the other guy.
Andre: the moment the guy says "you're so pretty, I can't help but stare." Andre would slowly turn his head, his eyebrows furrowed. He'd get up, go up to you, slide his arms around your waist from behind, and kiss your neck while staring into the guys eyes.
Tori: tori would see you and immediately think you're flirting back with the guy that had come up to you, so she would initially be hurt, but then she would see you trying to politely get out of the situation, then she would get mad, so she'd go up to you, say "come on baby, lets get out of here," kissing your cheek and looking the guy up and down.
Jade: despite her aggressive nature, jade doesn't get mad when other people flirt with you. For one, she knows your beautiful, so it brings a certain level of pride when other people appreciate your beauty. And second, she doesn't have to get mad or even get up when people flirt with you. She'll give you a little smile and lift one eyebrow just slightly. You take the signal as it is, a leaving the other person hanging as you walk over to your girlfriend. You sit on her lap and she kisses you long and hard.
Cat: cat would pretend not to notice just because she trusted you not to do anything disloyal. She'd try not to show her distaste for the situation but you can see the hurt look on her face while she's trying to be nonchalant. You excuse yourself from the situation, go up to her, kiss her softly and say "you're so cute when you're jealous."
Trina: Trina would try her hardest not to care, she'd be defensive when you call her jealous and she'd shut down for a few minutes. But her impatience is stronger than her stubbornness and she gives in quickly, going up to you and kissing you hard. You smirk and call her jealous before kissing her back.

you can’t claim a human
♡ pairing: jade west x fem!reader
♡ summary: cat introduces you to her friends and jade makes it clear that she likes you.
♡ requested: yes | no
♡ a/n: a swear and rex being lowkey creepy
when cat took you to meet her friends, you’d assumed they’d be just as sweet as she was. not that they were assholes or anything, ─ in fact, they were really nice ─ but they were different than she was.
take robbie, for example. the kid carried around a puppet and was nowhere near as popular or bubbly as her. tori was your typical pretty, nice girl, but on the normal end of the spectrum. beck and his hair looked like they’d checked out of life a long time ago, andre was flirting up a girl like there was no tomorrow, and, of course, the previously mentioned puppet who had ‘said’ as if you weren’t there, “who’s the hot friend?”
oh, and “rex” didn’t like to be called a puppet.
the one most different from cat was the dark-haired beauty that was about to sit down in what you could assume was her usual spot before seeing you and crossing her arms. you were probably staring because god, she was stunning. “who are you?” she asked, glint of mischief in her irises contradicting her friendly tone. “this is my friend, y/n!” cat introduced you excitedly, beating you to a response. “y/n, this is my friend, jade. she’s kind of scary, but she probably won’t hurt you.”
“i like scary.” you hummed simply with a smile, locking eyes with the girl and wishing she’d sat down next to you. the longer you spent together, the more you seemed to fit in with cat’s friend group, but the person who was capturing your attention the most was jade. barely speaking, she appeared to just be observing you and thinking. eventually, she broke her silence and surprised everyone, “i’m claiming y/n.”
claiming? “uh, jade,” tori started, just as confused as her surrounding friends and you. “you can’t. . .” she searched for words before sighing and asking carefully, “what are you even claiming her as?”
“my new best friend,” jade said smoothly, winking at you from across the table. “and girlfriend.” almost everyone’s eyes went wide, except for the puppet rex, due to physical inability to do so. it opened its mouth, “it’s a trap, l/n, jade isn’t friends with anyone!”
all at once, the friends you’d just made began to clamor. “you can’t claim a human, jade,” beck tried to explain, but jade wasn’t having it. “i thought i was your best friend,” cat pouted. “i know! the three of us can all be close! do you want to have a sleepover?” robbie interjected, “is there a reason i was never claimed?” jade made a face of disgust. “just one reason?”
“everyone shut up!” andre raised his voice over everyone else’s and they all quieted. “why don’t we just ask y/n?” eyes shifted to you and you fought the urge to just start laughing. . . they were weird. a good weird. though you did appreciate that at least someone seemed to realise it was your decision.
gazing into jade’s deep blue eyes, your lips curled up into a smile and you answered, “when’s our first date?” jade looked somehow even cockier and she stood, situating herself next to you, smirking at her friends. they all were evidently puzzled by what had just happened, but she snaked a hand around your waist and the conversation started back up again like normal ─ after she announced to them all with pride,
“told you i can claim a human.”

When?
Jade West x Female!Reader
Request: No
Type: Fluff
Disclaimer: I don’t own anything.
-
“Hey Y/n.” I smile softly, “Yes?” Jade looks down at the girl in her lap, running her fingers through her hair.
“Do you love me?”
”Always.” I nod, “I love you.” It was obvious to everyone that Jade was insecure. She needed to hear those three words that met so much to her. They gave her a reassurance that your relationship is real.
“Y/n?” she questions. I hum in response, sitting up from her lap. Jade looks at me nervously,
“When do I ask you to marry me?” She asks softly, and my I feel myself freeze, heart beating at a rapid pace. Is she serious..
“...Why?” I can’t figure out the reason why she would want to marry me. If that’s why she asked. I can hardly believe I broke her walls down and dated her. Now this?
“Why do you think?” She responds, amusement lacing her voice. I blush profusely, before leaning in and connecting our lips.
This kiss held many things. Love. Passion. And that. That mean’t everything to me. To Jade.
She breaks the kiss, before setting my head down in her lap. “And Y/n.” She starts, “I love you too.” She winks down at me, before putting her eyes back to the screen, hands through my hair again.
We are here now. Together. And I cant wait to see what the future brings us.

dirty little secret ~ jade west;victorious
word count: 1223
request?: no
description: in which someone who is supposed to be her friend reveals her deepest, darkest secret for some internet clout
pairing: jade west x female!reader
warnings: swearing
masterlist (one, two)
If I had to hear the word “Robarazzi” one more time I think I’d lose my mind.
I don’t know why Robbie thought the brightest ideae was to bully his friends on his shitty TMZ rip-off show on TheSlap.com, but he was getting good viewership from it. Everyone was loving the show, it was the talk of the school. At the expense of our friend group.
Luckily, Robbie was smart enough not to air anything to do with me on his show. He was too afraid of me, he knew my bite was much meaner than my bark.
Walking into school, I didn’t notice everyone looking at me. I walked up to my locker, my headphones blasting some All Time Low, and unlocked it. I was grabbing my books when Tori raced up to me, immediately trying to tell me something.
I took my headphones out. “What?”
“Have you seen the new episode of Robarazzi?”
I rolled my eyes. “Of course not, I don’t watch that garbage.”
Tori gave me a look I couldn’t read as she got her phone from her pocket. The episode started as usual: Robbie and his stupid lackeys sat around their filming room.
“What do you guys have for me today?” Robbie asked.
“I overheard a pretty secretive conversation between Tori Vega and (Y/F/N),” a lower grade boy responded.
My eyes widened as I snatched the phone from Tori and watched as a video of the two of us by Tori’s locker popped up on the screen.
“Are you going to tell her now?” Tori was asking me.
“No,” I responded, nearly rolling my eyes at her question.
“Why? She’s finally single!”
“Yeah, she was single a month ago too, and remember what happened? They got back together the next day.”
“But this is different. It’s very final now.”
“I’ve heard that before.”
“(Y/N), come on. You have to tell her eventually. You can’t just keep this secret for your whole life.”
“I can try.” Tori gave me a look at this. “Tori, I appreciate your concern, but the fact of the matter is I don’t even know if she likes girls. I could ruin this friendship and I don’t want to do that. I will take this secret to my grave. Jade West will never know I have a crush on her.”
I shared a look with Tori as the video ended before shoving her phone back into her hands and making my way to Robbie’s locker.
He knew he was in trouble the moment he saw me. He tried to make an escape, but I shoved him against his locker. Tori and I surrounded him, making sure he couldn’t leave.
“Take the video down,” I demanded.
“But it’s the best episode of Robarazzi yet!”
“That doesn’t matter, Robbie,” Tori said. “What you did to (Y/N) is not right!”
“What I did? I helped her admit her crush to Jade!”
“That wasn’t your secret to tell!” I snapped, feeling my body shake with rage. I was so ready to beat the shit out of him in this moment. I didn’t care if he was my friend.
“Hey!”
As if the moment couldn’t get any worse, Jade came around the corner and also stormed up to Robbie, grabbing his shirt collar and violently shoving him up against his locker. If fear was Robbie’s primary emotion when I was getting mad at him, whatever Jade was making him feel was much worse.
“Take the episode down,” Jade hissed, her voice dangerously low.
“But - ” Robbie started.
“TAKE THE EPISODE DOWN!” Jade basically screamed.
With a shaky hand, Robbie pulled his tablet from his bag and deleted the episode in front of us. When he had, Jade let him go and he quickly scurried away, his bag still hanging open as he raced off.
“Well,” Tori said, “that went well.”
“Thanks,” I said to Jade.
“No problem. What he did was wrong on so many levels and so not fair to you. If I were you, I’d never be friends with that little creep ever again.”
“I’m debating on it.”
An awkward silence fell over the three of us. I had some hope that Jade hadn’t seen the video, but of course I should’ve known better. Even if I could’ve gotten the video taken down before Jade saw it, the gossip would spread throughout the school like wildfire.
Tori looked over at me before smiling awkwardly. “Well...I’m gonna go.”
I tried to secretly grab hold of her arm to get her to stay, but she managed to escape before I could. It was just me and Jade, stood awkwardly together.
What do I say? Do I leave? Pretend this never happened?
I decided on the final two options and nodded to Jade before attempting to leave.
“(Y/N), wait.”
I cringed to myself as I turned back to Jade.
“Do you want to talk about it?” she asked.
I sighed. “I want to melt into the floor and cease to exist, actually. Or get a concussion and forget any of this happened.”
Jade smiled a little and nodded. “I get that. I was mortified when Robbie shared that video of me and Beck.”
I tried not to flinch at the mention of Beck’s name, but the concerned look on Jade’s face told me I didn’t conceal it very well.
“Tori was right, you know,” she told me. “About the breakup. It is permanent this time.”
“I’ve heard that before, Jade.”
“I mean it this time. It’s over. Beck and I don’t love each other anymore. Well, we love each other, but we’re not in love with each other.”
“Why are you telling me this?”
Jade smiled at me. It was genuine and not awkward. “You’re a smart girl, (Y/N). You’ll figure it out.”
I knew what she was implying, but I couldn’t believe it. Jade had never shown interest in women before. Maybe it was because she was with Beck, but she had never even mentioned being into girls before Beck.
“You’re...you’re straight,” I said. “Aren’t you?”
“I don’t have a label,” she responded with a shrug. “I just love whoever I love.”
“Oh.” My response was lame, but it did make her laugh, which was a win in my eyes.
“Is that why you never told me? Because you thought I was straight?”
“There was so much more than that. I was afraid to ruin our friendship, and you were so in love with Beck I didn’t think I’d ever have a chance.”
Jade nodded. “Well...I can’t tell you that I’m ready to date anyone right now...but if you’re willing to wait at least a month for me, I’d love to give things a shot.”
I took my phone from my pocket and opened the calendar app. Jade watched, a little confused, as I set a date.
“A reminder,” I announced, “for one month’s time: take Jade on the best date of her life.”
Jake smiled as the warning bell rang. “I should get to class.”
“Yeah, me too.”
There was a moment where neither of us moved, we just stood smiling at one another. Finally, Jade went towards her first class. I did a quick victory dance before racing off to my own class.
Robarazzi finally did something good.
