Chapter 2

That Moment

We don't own anything; if we did life would have been much more entertaining.

The house looked the same, it didn't change at all since he had been gone and yet somehow Jude could tell that something was different somehow. "Honey, you okay?" Lena asked from where she stood before the door, the door that Jude knew the whole family was waiting behind to greet them.

-Flashback-

Jude sat at his desk, his pen in hand as he wrote the two letters that he knew would break the hearts of the two people he loved more than life itself; each word he penned down was followed by tears that rolled down his cheeks softly. The young boy didn't want to do this but it was the only way that he could think of to keep them both safe, besides not talking anymore.

-End Flashback-

The young boy looked at the woman who had become a mother to him and he gave her a little nod so that she wouldn't ask another question that they both knew he wouldn't answer. Lena gave Jude a loving look before she walked back over to him, she kneeled down in front of him and took him by the shoulders, "No one expects you to be okay with anything right now, and we know that you need time to come to terms with what happened but remember that we are here for you whenever you need us okay" the woman said before hugging the boy tightly.

Jude wanted to tell her how much he loved her, how much he wanted her to just hold him until everything was better, but the memory of the men telling him that they would be watching made him stay stoic and wait out the affection.

Lena got back up and took Jude's left hand in her own and led the way to the door and opened it for him, and he was right about the whole family waiting for him. Brandon and Callie jumped to their feet from where they had been sitting at the foot of the stairs when the door opened and Mariana who had been leaning against the wall looked up at her phone. Everyone was looking at him, their faces showing their emotions clearly.

Brandon was happy to see him judging from the smile he gave him. Callie was tearing up slightly and took small steps towards him, she was clearly torn between being glad to see him and remembering the reason why he had left in the first place. Mariana didn't wait for an invitation or worry about him not wanting one as she walked over and hugged him, and he had to admit that he needed that more than anything else but he was wishing that it was her twin instead of her.

Jude remembered the hugs Jesus used to give him, and the feeling that came with them; the feeling of being safe and of being complete, but it all seemed like a far of dream at this moment.

Stef had greeted her wife first before she turned to watch their children, and as Jude caught her looking at them he gave his other mother a weak smile before his eyes started to wonder in search of the one person he wanted to see more than anything or anyone else. Jude caught sight of familiar chocolate eyes sitting at the top of the stairs looking down at him and his sister, and he couldn't help but shake as he saw the anger and sadness in them.

Mariana felt the body she was hugging tremble and she didn't even have to look to know why, she smiled and whispered into Jude's ear, "He missed you, him and Connor both. Please don't hurt them anymore… let them in okay" she pulled away and acted like she had said nothing.

Jude kept his eyes locked with Jesus' and both Stef and Lena had followed his gaze up the stairs, they knew that something was up with the two but they couldn't figure out what it was because no one who knew was talking.

That night Jesus laid awake in his bed, the sound of Jude's breathing in the room they shared making his thoughts run wild with the many times he had listened to the young boys breath and sometimes even being the cause of it being laboured. He tried his best not to think about it too much because no matter how much he wanted to just get up and go over and let the boy whom he knew was still awake know that he loved him, and that he won't ever stop he just couldn't forget about how Jude had just tossed him and Connor aside, how he had not trusted them enough to let them help him.

Jesus turned his head to look at the motionless body laying on the other side of the room, he knew that Jude was looking at him to but he couldn't see his eyes in the dark room, though he felt them on him and he knew what they were trying to convey. "I know why you did what you did, but I don't get why you did it" Jesus whispered loud enough to be sure that Jude would hear him and judging from the movement the boy had heard him.

Turning onto his other side so that his back was now to the younger boy Jesus closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but something was stopping him. The sound of sobbing could be heard softly from the other side of the room and it wasn't letting up. Jesus' heart broke every second he listened to it, so swallowing down his own pride he got up and out of bed and walked over to the source of the sobbing. Jesus pulled back the covers and got in next to Jude and held the smaller body firmly against his own, "I still love you, and I won't ever stop loving you" he whispered into the shaking bodies ear as he held him.

The two laid there and quickly fell asleep in each other's arms, but during the night Jesus had woken up and after just taking in Jude while he slept he got up and went back to his own bed because no matter how much he loved the boy and wanted to just stay with him he couldn't forgive him for pulling away. Jesus had told himself that he would wait until Jude apologised before he would let the boy back in and if it made him a bad guy he didn't care because he was hurting to.

The next day wasn't much different than the one before except that Jude was now back with them all, but Mariana could see that him being back wasn't helping things much as she watched Jesus and Jude avoid looking at each other. She wondered if something had happened last night, or if maybe the two broke off what they had once had. "Me and Mat are going to the mall later, anyone want to come with us?" she asked, though she was directing her full attention at her brother who didn't need to know what she was thinking to know what she was thinking, "Sure, I could go along" Jesus said back towards his sister and smiled at the way she beamed.

Brandon gave her a look but she just shot him one right back before going back to texting with her friends and Mat who would be picking them up after School. She didn't want to explain herself to anyone right now and since Brandon has been keeping himself busy with Callie Mariana had taken it upon herself to fix things.

"How was he?" Connor asked Jesus during lunch, the two had been having lunch at the spot on the beach where no one could see them, the same spot they had shared so many times with Jude before. "He was the same. He still isn't talking to anyone, our moms say that it's his way of working through it and that in time he will start talking again when his ready" Jesus told his boyfriend before taking a bite of his sandwich and going back to staring out at the ocean.

"We know why he isn't saying anything though. Maybe we should tell your mom about the texts?" Connor started, he saw Jesus stop chewing and turn to look at him with fear on his face, "It might help them catch whoever did that to Jude…" Jesus didn't have to say anything because Connor could see the fear and anger clearly on his face and he couldn't take that look on his boyfriends face.

Jesus trusted his moms and had no doubt that they would be able to help, though he was trying to protect them and keep them safe until he was certain who it was at school who had tortured them.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I want things to go back to normal, back to the way that it had been" His words stung Jesus and the teen didn't want to accept the truth that he felt his lips letting out, "Things will never be the way it was before everything happened. We won't ever be able to go back to "normal" again because things were never normal to begin with" It was now Connor's turn to be stung by Jesus' words.

Jesus regretted the words the moment he had said them but he couldn't take it anymore, between his moms asking him about Jude all the time and Connor doing the same thing he just couldn't take it anymore. He didn't want to hurt Connor because the boy was all he had left, the only person who understood what he was feeling, but even now he just couldn't stop thinking about Jude as he looked at Connor and the anger that he felt towards his younger brother showed on his face.

The two boys sat in silence for a while and finished their lunches before Jesus broke the silence, "Sorry…" he said before he got up and walked away, and as Connor watched him go he could see the burden he carried, he could see the worry that was clearly visible and it saddened him to see someone he loved hurt so much and not know what to say or do to make everything better.

Connor had always thought that Jesus was strong, and the first time he had seen him working out at without a shirt on he had admired how strong his back looked, like the boy could carry the world on his shoulders. Now though he knew better because he could see him being crushed by everything that he held firmly on his shoulders.

"You okay?" A voice behind Connor asked and startled the boy, he turned quickly to find a boy about Jude's age looking at him with big brown eyes. The boy had short red hair and pale skin, and he wasn't really dressed like everybody else here because he was wearing jeans and a long sleeved shirt so Connor knew that this must have been the new kid everyone was talking about.

"I'm fine, just worried about a friend. You're the new kid right, from New York right?" Connor tried to turn the attention away from Jesus and thankfully it seem to work. "Yeah, I'm Max. I moved down here with my dad during the summer because he got a job in the area" Max said after he sat down next to Connor.

"Well you'll love it here, it's a nice place and going to school on the beach makes school feel like a vacation" Connor said trying to forget about his own worries in favour of making a new friend and being a nice guy.

"Yeah I like it here because of the ocean, it's calming" The boy said looking out at the waves.

The two boys sat staring out at the ocean until lunch was over, then they walked to class and to Connor's surprise they shared their next class and a few others to. Before the day was over Connor had a new friend and a new contact in his phone, and even though Max was a good kid he couldn't help but feel like he was hiding something but Connor didn't dwell on it because he wanted to go and visit Jude while Jesus was going out with his sister and her boyfriend.

Connor sat across from the Jude in the living room, the two haven't said a single word to each other and it was starting to unnerve him. "I missed you" Connor said weakly trying to get Jude to at least look at him and stop reading the book in his hands.

"Why don't you look at me, did I do something wrong?" he tried again but still Jude ignored him, though Connor saw how tightly he was gripping the book and he knew that Jude was fight an overwhelming urge to look at him, to talk to him and hold him again.

"I heard you'll be coming to school again in a few days, it will be great to see you again everyday" Connor began, "There is this new transfer from New York in our year… you would like him" Jude at least closed his book now and looked at him. Connor continued to talk about anything and everything, just saying whatever came to mind just so that he could stay with Jude a little longer.

Jesus felt like a third wheel as he followed Mariana and Mat around the mall, and he just wished that his sister would get the talk she had planned with him done with already because he wanted to go home. Mariana turned to her brother when Mat ducked into a store quickly for something he need for the band, she looked at her brother and smiled before she started talking.

"So, did you and Jude make up?" Jesus had to remind himself that she didn't judge him because of his feelings for their younger brother before he answered, "Not really" Mariana didn't look all too happy at his answer though. His sister took a deep breath and gathered herself before she let out the words she had wanted to tell him, "Why not, I thought you said you loved him, or was that just a lie. Jesus, I love you and I will support you always but if you mess with Jude then I will back him and not you" Jesus felt like his sister had just set him on fire. "I know it's hard to forgive Jude for what he did, but it's also quite easy to just do it and get it over with, to just move past everything that gets in the way of love, so man up and support the person you claim to love or move aside and move on" every word felt like a dagger stabbing him in the heart over and over.

Mariana could see that she had hurt her brother but someone had to tell that he was being stupid, someone had to hurt him so he could get over everything and be there for Jude the way Callie had let her know with a text that Connor was being.

Mat had come back shortly after Mariana had told him to "man up" and she had gone back to being a smiling girlfriend who gave her full attention to her boyfriend. Feeling thirsty Jesus broke away from the two lovebirds and walked towards the smoothie shop, though he was so lost in thought that he didn't see the guy walking out of the shop and they walked right into each other.

The smoothie the guy had had spilled over both of them and Jesus had been falling backwards from the impact but a strong arm had stopped his impending impact with the hard floor. It seemed to all have happened in slow motion and when Jesus looked at the face of the guy who had both caused and prevented his fall he couldn't look away because of piercing blue eyes staring into his own, and then time seemed to come to a complete stand still as they both just stared into each other's eyes.

The guy pulled Jesus back upright before he started to apologise after what felt like forever, "Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going…" Jesus was still lost in the guy's eyes that seemed to light up like the morning sky as he talked, but he shook his head to try and think clearly again before he too apologised, "No I should have watched where I was going" the two just stood there staring again.

"I'm Alex" the guy said holding his hand out for Jesus to shake and he didn't even think twice about shaking it, "Jesus" he said back and watched as Alex's face brightened and somehow his smile made Jesus smile, "So can I buy you a smoothie as an apology?" Alex asked and Jesus didn't think twice about nodding yes and following the blonde tanned skinned Adonis into the smoothie shop; the guy must have been a surfer or swimmer to look the way he did in his board shorts and tank top, all lean firm muscle under bronzed skin with blonde hair that made Jesus think of the oceans waves.

Mariana and Mat had seen the whole scene play out in front of them, and Mariana couldn't believe that she had seen what she had. Mat on the other hand believed it because he had seen that scene between him and Mariana many time before… that moment in time when you meet someone who just fits in your life so perfectly that you can't help but want to fit into theirs.

No worries about the pairings changing, it's just a little plot to liven things up a little and to dig deeper into the boy's relationship. I will see about another chapter this week, but no promises because there is a lot to get done this week.
