Hey Jude

Chapter One

Fear

…..

"Mrs. Oliver?"

"Yeah?" Jade asked bluntly.

"Hello. This is Ms. Adams calling from Hollywood Arts Middle-High School? Yes, I'm afraid your son, Jude, is failing three classes."

Jade moaned in annoyance. Last month Jude was suspended for starting a fight, and last week he skipped two periods.

"Which ones?" Jade asked.

"History, Stage Acts, and Gym," the obnoxious voice recited, as if she had been practicing this.

"What? The kid starts fights all the time! How could he be failing Stage Acts?"

"I don't know ma'am."

"Okay. Is that all?" Jade asked.

"Yes. Have a nice night."

"Thanks. You too." She hung up and looked up at the clock in her kitchen.3:29. Jude would be home any minute. She picked up the phone and called her husband.

"Hey babe! What's up?" Beck asked as he picked up.

"Beck? Do you have any time?"

"Sure. Just a sec." Jade heard him put his phone up to his chest. "Guys, I've gotta take this." One of the crude recording dudes said something, but it was unclear to Jade. "My wife." She heard Beck say. The immature guys started whopping and cheering as if Jade was going to do or say something sexy.

"Pervs," Jade mumbled. Beck walked out of the studio box and into the hallway.

"What's wrong?" Beck asked.

"Jude is failing three of his classes."

"Crap! Which ones?"

"History, Stage Acts, and Gym," Jade told him.

"Stage? Really?"

"That's what I said! Anyways, we'll deal with him later. What time are you coming home?"

"We have five more songs to record for the movie. The rest we'll finish tomorrow. So, I'm not sure. I'll be home as quick as I can," Beck promised.

"Oh okay," Jade lowered her voice some," I think Jude just walked in. See you tonight. I love you."

"I love you too."

Jade out the phone down and turned around to see Jude staring at her. She stared right back at him. Jade was thankful he looked nothing like his real father. Jude had her not, not Sinjin's. Their eyes were the same, but Jude's are the same as Beck's, so you can't tell that they're the same as Sinjin's. Jude had no idea that Beck wasn't his birth father.

Back 12 years ago, Jade went to New York City with her senior class. There, she was raped repeatedly and stabbed by another student. She and Beck married after the baby was born. Before they went on their honeymoon, Beck adopted Jude.

"H-hi mom," Jude said nervously.

"Hey sweetie. How was school?"

"Great. But I, I have a ton of homework. I'll be d-down later." Jude then ran upstairs to his room.

Jude said nothing about failing. Jade had other things on her mind, so she figured she and Beck could punish him later. She glanced at the clock again. 9:15.

She stared out the back window of the dinning room. Slowly, something move in a bush. The trees weren't swaying, so the wind was out of the question. An object that looked like a foot stuck out of the bush. Jade kept her eyes firmly glued on it.

"Who is that?" she thought. A large, cold hand clamped down on her shoulder. Right away, she started screaming.

"Hey babe. What are you-"Beck was cut off by Jade's horrified screams.

"Beck? Oh my God!" She jumped into his strong arms and cried. "Someone is out there! I swear Beck! Please, do something!" Beck wrapped his arms around her tightly. Once she calmed down, he walk outside and to check it out.

When he was ten feet away from the bush, he picked up a nearby rock and threw it at the thing hiding. Some dressed in all black hoped out of the bush and ran. He had a dark green camera slung over his left shoulder, and had a video camera in his right hand. The man ran to the fence and jumped into the dark streets of downtown Hollywood. He disappeared as Beck yelled after him. Beck then ran inside to Jade.

"He, he has pictures of us. And videos. Beck! What are going to do.?" Jade sobbed.

"Nothing for now. We'll report it to the cops tomorrow."

Jade started balling at the thought that someone was stalking her and her family. "Jude will be alone tomorrow morning for a little while. What if the man comes back? I have my photo-shoot! You have to go in early, and then Jude will be here!"

"Shh. It's okay. He'll be fine."

All Jade could do is continue crying. Never once had Beck seen her so vulnerable. He lifted her up and cradled her on the couch. Together, they stayed there and cuddled as Jade tried to dry her tears, or at least the ones Beck missed while whipping them away. They feel asleep like that until Beck woke up at midnight and carried her back to their bedroom. He placed her under the covers and kissed her head.

"I love you," he whispered.

First chapter…complete! Sorry if it was too long. Knowing me, most of my chapters aren't very long, so don't get used to this. Reviews? Thanks.
