The young 14-year-old autistic teenager introduced himself as Ryan Aaron West - Jade West’s younger brother.
Jade West was shocked to hear that her autistic brother – whom had been adopted by the Bowen family.

And how he was born with autism and been gifted with talents . and his father resented him and given him up for adoption.

The Stargaze Nightingale vanished into a shimmering of stars .
As they attended his play , dozens of people clapped and applauded - Jade West who helped her paralyzed autistic 14 year old brother – Ryan Aaron West – who is gifted and talented with his intelligent mind of storytelling - taking his first bow for the 1st time - although their family were skeptical about the West Siblings performing at Hollywood Arts at first - he changed his mind and decided to support both Ryan Aaron West and his sister – Jade West – after 21 years of neglections due to their dreams to write school plays for Hollywood Arts.
Jade West congratulated her brother – Ryan Aaron West of his creativity in Hollywood Arts and that she’ll support her younger brother no matter what happens .
But some of them – Cain Diaz Roderick and the Crimson Bassilks Gang attempted to sabotage Ryan Aaron West’s school play by ruining it for them - scaring away the cast members in their skeleton costumes and their goblin costumes.
Jade West annoyed that Cain Diaz Roderick, and his gang of bullies are still at Hollywood Arts trying to pick on Ryan Aaron West’s condition – since he’s been diagnosed with autism when he was three years old , had chicken pox when he was 5 years old and was paralyzed due to a polio type disease at the age of 10 years old .
And had trashed her younger brother’s locker - Jade West standing up for her younger brother ordered them to leave him alone .
Cain Diaz Roderick decided not to budge and still picked on him . however, Tori Vega and her friends saw the commotion that was going on outside of the hallway at Hollywood Arts and demanded them to leave him alone.
But this time the vice principal - Mr. Dickers saw that The Crimson Bassilks Gang are picking on the younger students and had them suspended for violations on school grounds.
However, the Cops came and had them arrested for refusing to leave school grounds . escorting them to Juvenile Detention center for loitering.
Noticing that Cain Diaz Roderick and his gang of bullies won’t be back to pick on her younger brother anymore - Mr. West decided to welcome them back stating that he’ll provide the doctors that he can keep his 2nd son’s abilities to walk .
Thanking their own father for supporting them both . Ryan Aaron West decided to keep going on performing at Hollywood Arts.
The Principal of Hollywood Arts allowed him to take the week off . while he’s able to get a curable vaccine for his polio type disease
However, Jade West argued with her own father stating where her parents and her older brother were when she needed them to support her talents in creative writing and that they weren’t there for her when her brother was diagnosed with his disabilities and everything that her younger brother had went through like getting taken care of when her brother got the chicken pox and when he was paralyzed from a polio type disease .
And that she stated by her younger brother’s side every step of the way and they didn’t care about her creative writing career and that her entire family wasted their efforts and time to be there for them when they needed them.
Mr. West arguably and verbally fought against his daughter – Jade into knowing that he doesn’t support creative writing in Hollywood arts since she was a teenager and despised his younger son – Ryan Aaron West due to the fact that he and his sister – Jade were different from them .
Jade West stated that their father cannot change who she and her brother are , but they should’ve showed some dignity and respect in their choices that they’re making.
Mr. West leaves Hollywood Arts , vowing to never see his daughter and her younger brother again .
Jade West stood by as their arrogant father leaves Hollywood Arts.
Tori Vega asked if Jade West is going to be ok , but Jade West leaves them in frustration knowing that their arrogant father and Jade West would never see each other again.
Ryan Aaron West who sees the commotion after his immediate recovery from his polio type disease - learns from Tori Vega of what happened while he was in the hospital outside of Hollywood Arts of both Jade West and their father arguing in high school while he was in the hospital.
Ryan Aaron West sees his sister inside of the auditorium at Hollywood Arts – Jade West and talks to her , stating whatever happened in the past needs to stop and that sooner or later once Jade West pushes everyone away – no one is going to want to be around her .
Jade West sees that her brother wasn’t happy that he’d spend the past 21 years in a wheelchair when he was diagnosed with a polio type disease and that when he felt that no one came to take care of him due to be diagnosed with autism when he was three and how he was isolated when he had the chicken pox when he was five .
Upset and feeling insecure of his condition and everything that he’d went through – he asked where she was when he needed her. Jade West asked her younger brother on what has gotten into him and that Ryan Aaron West - her younger brother who had went through everything that he was struggling with due to the fact that no one was there to support him due to his disabilities and being paralyzed in a wheelchair from a polio type disease that he developed when he was ten years old.
Jade determined to comfort her younger brother stated that she understood how he felt and that she went through the same fact that her parents don’t respect her talents and her creative gifts for Hollywood arts - that she saved every last dollar to take care of her younger brother and that despite that both her and her younger brother were gifted with talents for creative writing in Hollywood Arts .
Jade West tells her younger brother who had supported her for the past 21 years for the play – Well Wishes that she wrote for Hollywood Arts - that just because that her younger brother has been struggling and going through everything in his life and that she will always be there for him if he needs her.
Ryan Aaron West stated that he’ll need her more since he had been going through so much - he told her the real reason why he couldn’t be there for her for the past 21 years in Hollywood Arts is he doesn’t want her to see him as her autistic paralyzed younger brother – he wants to see her as herself and for who she is .
Understanding of what her younger brother had told her , Jade West decided to cheer her 14-year-old brother up by giving him a tour of Hollywood Arts - Ryan Aaron West stated that he doesn’t know when he’ll be able to walk but he’ll be able to be around to support his sister in any way he can.
Jade West helps her younger brother into his wheelchair and gives her brother a tour around Hollywood Arts . Jade West reintroduces her brother to Sikowitz and the students of Hollywood Arts.
While strolling himself in his wheelchair and speaks up in front of the entire class , he teaches the class – that everyone is the same and that we are all equal to one another . and that if they can get along with eachother – they can make Hollywood Arts a better place for anyone who is talented to go .

It's been 16 years since I've been to Hollywood Arts.
Everything is still the same here.
The smell of the hallway, the shimmering lights of the lockers.
I can't believe it's been 16 years since I've stepped foot into this school.
Hollywood Arts has a new teacher, Mr. Sikowitz is retiring and a new teacher will be taking his place.
However, Sikowitz will be the teacher's aide.
The new teacher arrived today and everything seemed fine until...
Jade West: Hey Tori!
Tori Vega: Hey Jade!
Are you coming to class?
Jade West: Yeah, I'll catch up with you guys later.
I need to take care of something.
Tori Vega: Ok, no problem.
Jade had seen her autistic brother for the first time in 14 years.
She remembered everything about him and how he stood by her throughout the years and supported her talents in creative writing.
Jade West: Hey there, are you ok?
Ryan Aaron West: Yeah... thanks for helping me out.
Jade West: You're welcome.
Ryan Aaron West: My name is Ryan Aaron West, and you are?
Jade West: I'm Jade West, nice to meet you.
Ryan Aaron West: Nice to meet you too, Jade.
Jade West: So what happened to you?
Ryan Aaron West: Some kids were bullying me and they pushed me to the ground.
Jade West: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
Ryan Aaron West: It's ok, it happens sometimes.
I trail behind Jade and Ryan as they head toward the nurse's office.
I keep a discreet distance, not wanting to be seen.
Through the hallway windows, I watch Jade carefully push Ryan's wheelchair while talking softly to him.
She stops at the water fountain and helps him take a drink.
When they reach the nurse's office, I peek through the door crack as Jade helps Ryan onto the examination table, supporting his paralyzed legs.
The nurse checks his bruises while Jade holds his hand, speaking words of encouragement.
Ryan winces as the nurse applies antiseptic, but manages a weak smile at Jade.
After the nurse finishes, Jade wheels Ryan to a quiet corner of the courtyard where students usually eat lunch.
She parks his wheelchair next to a bench and sits beside him.
Ryan nervously fidgets with the bandage on his arm.
I take a deep breath and reach into my bag, pulling out my old script for "Well Wishes" - the play he mentioned supporting years ago.
As I show him the worn pages, his eyes light up with recognition.
He reaches for the script with trembling hands, carefully turning each page while reciting lines he somehow remembers.
I settle onto the bench next to him, watching as he continues turning the worn pages.
His voice grows stronger with each line he remembers, and I find myself mouthing the words alongside him.
When we reach the climactic well scene, I join in speaking the daughter's part while he reads the father's lines.
Our voices blend together in the quiet courtyard, bringing the story to life just as it did years ago.
Ryan's hands steady as we near the final scene, and he carefully closes the script before placing it back in my hands.
I lean forward on the bench, watching his face closely as I propose performing "Well Wishes" during tomorrow's lunch period.
His fingers tighten on the wheelchair armrests, but his eyes light up with interest.
"We can use the small stage in the cafeteria," I suggest.
"It'll be a simple performance, just the two of us reading key scenes. We can keep it short and sweet."
Ryan hesitates, mentioning his wheelchair might get in the way.
I pull out a notebook and sketch a quick staging plan showing how we can incorporate his limited mobility into the performance.
He studies my rough drawings, then slowly nods.
"Alright, but only if you promise not to go easy on me," Ryan says, a hint of determination in his voice.
Jade smiles, "I wouldn't dream of it; you're still the best scene partner I've ever had."
Ryan chuckles softly, "Then let's give them a show they'll never forget."
As the bell rings, signaling the end of lunch, Jade wheels Ryan back to the nurse's office.
She helps him into bed and hands him a glass of water before leaving.
Ryan lies in bed, his mind racing with excitement about the upcoming performance.
He can't wait to get back on stage and bring "Well Wishes" to life once again.
The next day, Jade and Ryan meet in the empty Black Box Theater after most students have left for the day.
Under the dim work lights, they run through "Well Wishes" scene by scene, with Ryan reading from his lap while Jade paces the stage around him.
Ryan's delivery grows stronger with each run-through, but Jade notices his hands trembling more as fatigue sets in.
When he stumbles over a crucial monologue for the third time, Jade grabs two water bottles from her bag and calls for a break.
Ryan protests, determined to nail the scene, but Jade insists he rest and rehydrate.
She pulls a chair beside his wheelchair and divides the script into three manageable chunks, marking natural break points with sticky notes.
Ryan looks at her incredulously, "You want to break it up into sections? That'll slow us down!"
Jade shrugs, "Let's see. I'll perform the opening scene where the daughter discovers the well."
She begins speaking Jade's lines, her voice echoing in the empty theater.
Ryan watches intently, his hands stilling as she reaches the climax of the scene.
When she finishes, he reads his father's response with renewed focus and clarity.
His delivery is stronger now that he's not pushing through the entire script at once.
They work through the first section three times, taking water breaks between each run.
As Ryan's hands steady, Jade suggests they call it a day and tackle the next segment tomorrow after he's rested.
Ryan nods reluctantly, his hands still trembling but less than before.
Jade helps him into bed in the nurse's office, then heads home to work on her own lines.
The next day, Ryan is back in the Black Box Theater, ready to tackle the next scene.
Jade hands him his pages, but he hesitates, his hands shaking more than usual.
He grips the script tightly, determination in his eyes.
But after a few seconds, he drops it, unable to hold it steady.
Jade picks up the fallen pages and sets them aside.
"We're done for today," she says firmly, though her heart aches seeing his frustrated expression.
Ryan tries to grab the script back, his wheelchair rolling forward slightly.
"I can do this, Jade," he pleads, his voice breaking.
Jade kneels beside him, placing a hand over his trembling hands.
He flinches but doesn't pull away.
She keeps her touch light and steady, speaking softly to calm him.
"I know you can. But today, you can't. And that's okay. Sometimes, it's okay to not be perfect."
Ryan's shoulders slump, and his hands stop shaking.
Jade squeezes his hand reassuringly.
"When I first came to Hollywood Arts, I bombed my audition," she confesses.
"I ran off stage in tears. But the next day, I came back and nailed it."
Ryan looks at her curiously.
"Really?"
She pulls out her phone and finds an old video of the disastrous audition on her camera roll.
When she shows it to Ryan, he cracks a small smile at her expense.
His hands finally still, Jade stands up and pats him on the shoulder.
"We'll try again tomorrow. Just one more scene."
Ryan nods, a small smile forming.
"Thanks, Jade. I guess I needed that reminder."
Jade grins back, "Anytime. Now, let's get you some rest."
