Chapter 2
Tommy watched Jude as she walked around. She looked lost looked like she was waiting for someone to find her. He remembers the day when he last saw her. The last day he was actually truly happy. Their wedding day.
Flashback Tommy
waited for Jude to get out of the bathroom. She had been in there for
20 minutes. She was only supposed to be washing her face so what was
taking her so long. He got up and walked to the bathrooms to see if
she was ok. When he didn't hear anything he walked in to find Jude
no where. He searched everywhere for her but no one has seen her. He
started to worry. He called the police. He had a bad feeling that
this was the last time he would see Jude again. The police
searched for her for over a year until they gave up. They had no luck
in finding her but I knew she was not dead. She was just lost and
needed help finding her way home. He never gave up hope. He went back
to producing and was even thinking about making a solo album but it
did not feel right. He always thought Jude would be here to help him
with it. They had to put her album on hold. So when she came back
they would finish it. When Chris was finally able to talk he
asked him where mommy was. I did not have the heart to tell him she
was gone forever. I just told him she was taking a vacation. Sadie
was so heartbroken that she even moved out of their apartment. It
reminded her so much of Jude she could not stand it. She doesn't
even come to my place. She still is apart of Chris life. It is hard
to look at him sometimes. He is so much like his mom. He has her
fiery personality and her eyes. His eyes are the hardest to look at.
Every time I look at them I want to cry because I lost her. But I
told myself that I would not give up hope. I will bring her back to
us. Even Darius has yet to give up hope. He hired a private
investigator to find her. Every time I am around him I ask if he has
heard anything and his reply is always no. Then one day his pi found
out some information. It seems she has not even been in Canada the
past two years. She was on some island. But now she was back in
Canada. He said some other stuff but I didn't hear. I was too busy
thinking now we can finally be a family. I left D's office and
searched the streets but I did not find her. I did that almost
everyday hoping to get one sign of her but it was no use. Damn it
Jude where are you. I had to stop after a while. It was taking
away my other priorities that I had to take care of. And that was our
son. I was so obsessed with finding Jude that I spent less and less
time with him. It was starting to break my heart to know what I was
putting him through. I love my son and I need to be the best father I
could for him. I would find Jude but it had to come when she was
ready for us to find her. And that day to come when I knocked
her down on my way to get coffee. I knew this day would come but I
was not prepared for it. And for her not to remember me nearly killed
me. What the hell did Mike do to her? I failed Jude; I failed myself,
most of all I failed myself. I promised to keep Jude safe and I
failed. I had to get my Jude back but how do you do it? I have to
work on her trusting me and then get her to remember me. Remember how
happy our lives were before Mike ruined them again. End of
Flashback
Tommy
was so deep in thought that he did not notice his son running towards
Jude. Oh no he recognized her.
Chris: Mommy Mommy.
Jude looked
around to see who the little boy was talking to. But no other female
was around. Chris wrapped his arms around her legs.
Chris: Mommy
you back.
Jude: I am sorry but I don't know you.
Chris had
tears in his eyes. Tommy finally caught up to them. He took Chris
into his arms.
Tommy: I am sorry about this.
Jude: Why does he
think I am his mother?
Tommy: I know this might sound crazy but he
is your son.
Jude: I don't have a son.
Tommy: I see you're
married.
Jude: Yeah but I don't know who he is.
Man:
Jude lets go. Mike is waiting.
Jude: I have to go. Nice seeing you
two. Um what are your names?
Tommy: I am Tommy and this is
Christopher or Chris for short.
Jude: Ok well bye.
And with
that he watched as she walked away from him again. One of these days
she will remember and she won't be able to walk away. Chris cried
himself to sleep in Tommy's arms. How in the hell was he going to
explain this to Chris? He took his son home and started to think of a
way to explain this to him.
Jude walked to where the man was standing at. She got in the car and thought about what just happened. I have a son and a husband. I just wish I could remember them. I mean I have some flashes that come to me and when I tell Mike he always tells me to forget about them. Like I had this one dream but it felt so real. I wonder if my life could be better than it is. What if Tommy and Chris are my family? But they don't need me and my problems.
Flashback My
life has been a rollercoaster ride. I can only remember the last two
years of my life the most. Everything else seems a blur to me. I have
been with Mike for all those years and well I have been addicted to
drugs. I have to take these pills Mike says they help me. I don't
know exactly with what but I take them. Mike knows what is best for
me. He takes care of me. I help him by selling drugs for him and he
repays me with drugs. But sometimes when I see certain things
or even touch objects I see like a flashback of what my life may have
been. Like I touched a guitar once and I saw me and this guy in a
studio. He was behind some board and I was singing. I looked happy
and pregnant. When I asked Mike about it he said I was just dreaming.
Mike never wants me to bring up my past. I always have this feeling
like he is hiding something from me but I am too scared to bring it
up. Last time I did let's say it didn't end well. Jude:
Mike tell me about my past. End of Flashback
Mike: Your past is in the past. Now
leave it alone.
Jude: Mike please. I want to know.
Mike: What
did I say?
Mike rose with anger written all over his face. He
stood in front of me and raised his hand and struck me. I fell to the
ground from the impact of his hand colliding with my face. It was not
the first time that has happened but I knew that was one thing not to
say to him.
I want to know what my life was before I got dragged down this path. Selling drugs, taking drugs, and so many other things that I am to ashamed to mention. Maybe I should find Tommy. I hope he can help me remember who I truly am. Because the person I see everyday is not a happy person. I want to be happy. I want my husband and kid. I hope Tommy and Chris are them
