Chapter 3: "Behind Your Back"
During her drive home Jude thought of all the possible ways she could tell Tommy. He was the first person that she wanted to tell. She was glad, however, that she would be coming home early so she could have more time to plan it out. She was hoping they could plan it out. She was hoping they could have dinner and then she would share her heartbreaking news.
Jude started walking up the stairs to their apartment. When she got to the door she heard giggling. Jude curiouslyopened the door. The laughing sounded like it was coming from the bedroom. Jude put her hand on the doorknob, pausing for a second in fear of what was behind it.
Her fears were then confirmed when she opened the door to see Tommy and some girl kissing. Oblivious to the fact that Jude was standing there they continued. They stopped when they heard a loud sob.
Tommy turned around and had a look of complete terror on his face. He suddenly backed away from the woman he was previously making out with.
"Jude!" Tommy said finally able to form words.
"I..I can't believe it," Jude said in a low whisper. The horrible scene she had just witnessed still playing repeatedly in her mind.
"Well believe it honey, because Tommy's mine now." Oh, this girl is making me hate her more and more every second' Jude thought.
"Jessica! Leave, NOW!" Tommy said with an angry and nervous look on his face.
"But Tommy, I thought you loved me," Jessica started before Tommy interrupted her/
"No, I love Jude!" Tommy responded whilejessica left the room.
"You could have fooled me," Jude said finally speaking up.
"I'm so sorry."
"How long?"
"What?" Tommy said obviously confused.
"How long has this been going on behind my back?" anger shooting through Jude's veins like a poison.
"Two months," Tommy replied while looking at his feet, ashamed for what he had done.
Jude stood there in complete shock. Then the shock turned to realization. 'Oh my God. How did I not see this? All of those times he said he had to work late at the studio. Those important phone calls. How could I be so stupid?' Jude thought feeling like a comple idiot.
"Two months and you say your sorry? If you were sorry you wouldn't have cheated on me. Especially for two months!" Jude said fuming with fury.
"You have to believe me, I am sorry. If I could change it-" Tommy started before Jude interrupted him.
"That's just it, Tommy, you can't change it!"
All of a sudden Jude's anger subsided and turned into sadness. Today had been the worst day of her life. First, she learns she has cancer. Then, she comes home to find her boyfriend of two years cheated on her.
"I'm leaving," Jude stated, walking towards the closet to grab a suitcase. Tommy then walked up to her and grabbed her hands.
"Please don't leave me Jude," Tommy responded, a tear escaping from his eyes.
"You caused this, not me."
Jude continued packing while Tommy pleaded with her to stay, all of which failed. Jude had made up her mind, and there was no tuning back.
Thanks again to all of those who read this. Please tell me what you think of this so far :)
