Author's Note: Short chapter, to me at least. I'm little blocked so sorry if I don't post in a while but I most likely will. REVIEW PLEASE:) over 500 people have read this story!
Jude goes out to the shops to get his suit he chose a week ago. He adds a scarf to the look and wears a v-neck t-shirt. Jude's driver awaits outside and takes Jude to the premiere taking place in London. He's anxious because he's been trying to stay out of the public eye since the conference a month ago and began ignoring Robert again.
Jude arrived at the premiere well on time.
He was glad to not have seen Robert...yet. He posed for pictures, signed autographs for fans and even gave interviews although he was afraid someone would ask about something personal he got through it. In the middle of the interview Jude saw a car pull up.
Robert... And Susan. It breaks his heart to see them together. He pulls through and finishes the interview. Jude begins to walk ahead to go inside but Robert catches up to him, leaving his wife.
"Hey, buddy. Long time no see." Robert hugs Jude. Jude had the urge to push Robert away but he couldn't make a scene with paparazzi and fans around.
"How about we pose together and not fight in front of everyone?" Robert mumbles into Jude's ear.
They both turn facing the cameras. Jude puts his arm on Robert's shoulders while Robert puts his hand on Jude's waist. Jude tenses up when he immediately feels a hand slide towards his arse.
"Bollocks..." Jude says under his breath.
"Relax, Jude." Robert whispers.
How could he relax? There's a huge crowd surrounding them with cameras and anything could happen.
"Okay... I'm gonna go take some pics with my Suzie Q." Robert says.
"Damn you." Jude walks away into the theatre.
"Mind if we sit here?" A voice says. Jude looks up and sees' Susan holding Robert's hand.
"No. Not at all." Of course, Robert sits down first so he can sit by Jude. Jude leans farther to the right so he won't have any contact with Robert. This is what he was afraid of. A dark room...with Robert...close to one another. Robert slides his hand onto Jude's leg. This can't be happening, he's getting turned on. Jude forces his attention to the screen, not like that helps. Robert is the star of the movie. He can't do this, he just can't. Susan is two seats down and he had a hard on from her husband. Jude excuses himself and rushes to what seems to be a janitor's closet.
One single tear falls from his eye while he slumps to the floor. Why is he doing this to me, Jude thinks. He can't bare to ever again look into Susan's eyes without guilt. How does he, Robert, act like nothing is ever wrong. More tears fall down his face.
"Jude? Is that you?" Robert asks knocking on the door.
"Go away, you bastard..." Jude's voice hoarse and choked with tears overflowing. Robert walks in frowning.
"Don't cry, Judesie." Robert comes closer to Jude but he flinches away. "Look, I'm sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it. You don't understand how torn I am. The depression and guilt. I can't -I can't..." Jude hiccups and puts his hands into his face.
"If you'd answer my calls you'd know that I... I plan to tell Susan everything. But I wanted to check with you first. To be with you."
"Is that true, Robert?" Susan says.
Jude looks up to see, behind Robert, Susan.
"Susan, I-How long have you been standing... Yes. It's true. I love David Jude Heyworth Law." Robert turns to face Susan. "I love you too though it's just... I don't know."
"We should talk at home. Come on, let's go." They walk out together. This can't get any worse, right?
Jude hasn't heard anything or seen Robert since the premiere a week ago. What has he done. Why bother asking. Jude knows he's done it, he's broken up one of Hollywood's favourite couples. The agony and shame of it all.
Jude's phone rings.
"Robert? Is everything ok?"
"It's Susan actually. We need to talk." The phone almost slips out of his hand while his heart hammers away in his chest.
