Previously on Little Sister::

She wore the sunglasses to hide the bruises.

She wore long sleeves to hide the cuts.

She wore her hair down to hide the bite marks.

"This is Face Down."

Derek's grip around her waist progressively tightened, and it wasn't possessively, it was more like hatred.

"Okay Toronto! This is out last song! It's called Headstrong"

"Now Jude," He said calmly, leaning over her, "We are going to fuck, we are going to fuck right here in front of the camera and make sure pretty boy sees it. Now smile, and do whatever else you have to do for the camera."

Spied and the guys had just finished recording another song written by Spied. Darius had just sent it out to the radio stations, wanting their 'new sound' to be spread immediately.

Chapter Two:: G-Major

Ring Ring Ring

"This is G-Major Records, you have Sadie Harrison. How may I help you?"

"…"

"Hel-lo?"

"…"

"Excuse me, how may I help you?"

"…"

"I cannot assist you if you do not tell me what it is you need."

"…Sadie?"

"Jude? Are you alright? What's wrong?"

"Sadie, I can't come into work today."

"Are you sick?"

"…yeah."

"Jude, I don't know. Darius seemed to want a meeting or something. Let me patch you through to him so you can ask him."

"Sadie wait!"

"Your call is being transferred…transfer accepted."

"You have Darius."

"…hey Darius, it's Jude."

"Jude, you're late. You were supposed to be here half an hour ago."

"Yeah I know; I just wanted to see if I could have the day off."

"Jude, your voice seems fine. Why don't you just come in for one song?"

"No D, you don't understand. I can't move."

"What do you mean you can't move? Are you alright?"

"D, my whole body is just a little sore. I think its stress, you know? I just need a little break."

"Alright I guess. But I want some inspiration for a song tomorrow. You don't need to write it down just please get one in your mind."

"Okay D, thanks."

"Sure, and I'll send Spiederman over when he's done recording."

"D No!" But he had already hung up.

Jude's Apartment

Jude threw her head back onto the pillows and sighed. She heard her front door open and someone walk up the stairs. Please be Spied, please be Spied, please be Spied, just not…

"Hey babe."

Derek…

"Listen, about last night. I know it went a little rough and I'm sorry. I want you to know that I threw away the tape."

Jude forced a smile and a nod. Derek climbed in the bed next to her. "But you have to admit, last night was hot." He said running his hand up and down his sides.

Jude just whimpered. She heard the door open and close again. "Jude? Jude, where are you?"

Derek quickly climbed off of Jude and told her to be quiet. He walked into the hallway and closed the door softly behind him. Jude could barely hear their muffled voices.

"Sadie, hi."

"Oh, hi Derek. I just had a quick break so I figured I would come check on Jude."

"Yeah, she called me this morning saying she felt sick so I came right over."

"Aw, you're so sweet. Jude is so lucky to have you."

"No, I'm lucky to have her."

"Okay, well I am just gonna say a quick 'hi' and see if there is anything I can do to help her."

Not wanting Sadie to see Jude's bruised body, Derek stepped in her way. "She's sleeping. But when she wakes up I will tell her to call you. Poor girl was in so much pain last night she barely slept. I would hate for her to not be able to fall asleep again because we woke her up." Sadie just nodded and kissed Derek's cheek in a brotherly way.

"Take care of my sister Derek."

"Don't worry…I will."

Sadie smiled, and gave him a small wave as she exited the apartment.

Derek just smiled to himself at her obliviousness and went back to Jude's bedroom.

Montana

Tommy was sitting in his house looking at a picture of Jude on his phone. I should have stayed with her. I should have said screw my family…

Tommy heard a light creek and he turned to see his bedroom door being opened. He saw his younger sister step inside; she was a beautiful, thin, tan, brunette, twenty one year old girl. He also noticed her black eye.

No, no, I did the right thing. My family needed me. Jude is okay, Jude is strong and I will see her again eventually.

"Hey Tom…"

"Hey Ashley."

"Um, Sarah said she wanted you, something about you promising her a story."

Tommy nodded and walked into his niece's room. His little niece was about to turn 5 and as of right now, she was his life.

You see, Ashley was always a party girl but she always watched out for herself. Most people would say she partied too much but she was always in check, never coming home totally wasted, never bringing home random guys, she was ultimately a good girl. Then her boyfriend got her pregnant, and that's when the beating started. When Ashley had Sarah she protected her child at all costs, but that meant more beatings for her.

Josh, Sarah's father, never laid a hand on Sarah, but put more than a few bruises on Ashley. Ashley finally decided to take control and called Tommy. Tom, wanting to rip this guy limb from limb, stayed with Ashley and Sarah after Josh ran away. He wanted to protect them, but on random mornings Ashley would wake up with a black eye, a bruised rib, and a broken heart and not remember how it happened. Tommy tried to catch him but he always seemed to miss. Tommy wanted to contact the police but Ashley said no because apparently Josh knew things about Ashley that she didn't want to get out. Tommy said whatever he knew and told he would help her get through it but Ashley just threatened to commit suicide and leave Sarah with him if he told anyone. Tommy took her threat seriously because she had already been cutting herself. She was getting better though.

Tommy read his little niece a story and watched her fall asleep. He got up and walked out to the living room and saw Ashley sitting there with the remote in hand and staring at the television screen. But the TV was off.

Tommy sighed and walked over and kneeled down in front of her. He carefully took the remote out of her hands and picked her up bridal style and put her into her room. He was about to go back to his own room when Ashley refused to let go of his hand. "I have a bad feeling tonight Tom. Can you get Sarah and we can all stay in here?"

Tommy nodded and picked up the sleeping 4 year old and laid her down next to her mother. Tommy dragged a chair over to the side of the bed and watched two of his three favorite girls fall asleep and he tried to get comfortable in his chair. He just hoped his other favorite girl was just as happy as he hoped she was.
