"Well, well if it isn't Miss Jude Harrison herself" the guy said sly as he approached a frightened Jude, "What's a matter sweetheart.." he knelt down beside her "party not good enough for you?" and with that he reached placing his hand on the side of Jude's face causing her to immediately pull back.. "I'm sorry I should get going back inside" She stated as she proceed to get up but feeling the force of this man keep her down "No baby. Stay here, I'll show you a real party.." and with that Jude yelled unheard screams as the dark haired, muscular man got on top of her and started kissing her neck, Jude let out more tears, tears of pain as he held her wrists and proceeded to unzip her dress.. "No please.. Stop.." Jude cried.. But he just laughed and promised her "a good time." He got the dress off and with that Jude felt helpless.. She knew what was about to come.. She felt numb again.. He got off her to undo his pants for a quick second just giving Jude the perfect chance to grab her heel and kick him in the stomach.. By doing this the man grumbled and grabbed himself and crouched in a ball, giving Jude enough time to run off.. "Who knew These would be so helpful" she said grabbing the heels as she started to run not looking back..
She just kept running in only her underwear thinking about what had just happened, she had just been attacked and almost raped.. She was scared, terrified and with that she went to the one place where she'd know she would feel safe.. She grabbed out her phone and called the familiar number, still sobbing she wasn't surprised that he hadn't answered as she though back to the previous event of Tommy walking in on her and Tom, but she needed him and once she explained it all she knew he would want to be there for her. Jude managed to flag a taxi and directed it to go to Tommy's address, the man agreed but with hesitation as he noticed the cuts on her face and how she was just in her lingerie that had been an outcome from the attack..
"Here we are Miss" The man said as the car stopped in front of the big building "How Much?" Jude questioned "No charge tonight, you just be safe" he said with a smile, Jude didn't protest she needed something good tonight and who knew it would be in the form of a taxi driver..
She got out of the car and went up the door to find the usually pad locked door wide open, Jude didn't bother to buzz Tommy and just looked for his name by the paging system and found out the number of his apartment "867" Jude spoke out as she started to make her way towards the elevator. Going up was probably the most nerve racking thing she has ever done, she thought about what she was going to say and how Tommy would react once he found out the truth and how.. She lost her thought when she realized the elevator had arrived to the floor, she got out and walked to her right to find Tommy door until she reached the one that was labeled 867 and with that she knocked once, twice, three times until finally there was an answer..
"Karma?" Jude managed to get out as the door opened to revile a half naked Karma in Tommy's shirt, sex hair and all, it wasn't hard to figure out what she had just interrupted.. "Jude, Oh my god what happened?" Karma said genuinely concerned as she reached to touch my bruised face which was stained with tears now too.. "Nothing, Karma.. Nothing.. I just fell and was by Tommy's house and was coming to get ice and.." she tried to continue on with her horrible lie but she feel short and had nothing left when she figured out that she would have no answer for Karma when she questioned"then why don't you have clothes on?" not beieving anything she said "..Jude did you get?" Karma's eyes got wide as she realized what had probably just happened but before Karma could finish the sentence Jude answered back ".. Never mind, this was a mistake, I'm going to leave." And with that Jude started to walk away but not before she heard Karma yell, "Jude, at least let me get you some clothing" Jude stopped looking down at herself knowing she couldn't pass up the offer, "sure but please be fast, I don't want to be here much longer" and with that Karma disappeared into the apartment again and went back to Tommy.. Karma was being amazing about this and as much as Jude wanted to hate her she couldn't she knew that she would spend everyday thanking her for this she thought as she stood waiting in the hall until she heard the door open "Thank You so much Karma," but that wasn't the only person who stood in front of her, a shirtless Tommy who was obviously fighting with Karma to see who was at the door and he did manage to get an eye full.. "Sorry Jude he just followed me," Karma started but Tommy just shook his head and couldn't believe his eyes.. "Jude," he whispered, I felt so ashamed standing there like this so vulnerable, so helpless and so hurt by not only my attacker but worst of all him. "Tommy, save it.." I was now in full out tears ".. I just need some clothing." And with that I grabbed the clothes out of Karma's hands and ran towards the elevator.
I must have pressed in about a hundred times before the door finally opened but it wasn't fast enough as Tommy had managed to make his way to where I was and get inside with me, "..Jude where are your clothes?" Tommy looked me up and down but not in a sexual way but in a protective and saddened way, "like you care.." I shot back thinking to what he was just doing, "Jude, come on please I don't want to get into this with you right now, I don't want to yell at you again.. But please just tell me what happened" He pleaded, "You don't want to yell? Yell about what? You have nothing on me Tommy, nothing!!" and with that the doors opened as if on cue and I made my way out them again, "Jude, please, just talk to me.." he said grabbing my arm.. I flinched a little as it brought back the felling of being attacked "Tommy don't touch me, you want to talk? How about when you left me in the middle of the parking lot alone, didn't want to talk then.." Jude yelled in sobs, Tommy started to fight back until his eyes grew wide as it hit him "Did this happen when I left?" he knew it from the look on my face "Jude, did he, did they.. Oh Jude" and with that came A sight that I thought I would never see Tommy broke down in tears in front of my very eyes, he bent down unable to catch his breath and just started sobbing, you'd expect me to say something but I was speechless.. "Jude, I'm sorry.. I didn't mean for anything.. I was just so, You and Tom.. I hated you.." he got out in-between loud breaths and sobs, "Tommy, I don't know if I'll be able to forgive you.." Jude said coldly as she left out the front doors Tommy was hurt but he wasn't stupid enough to let Jude walk home alone and he called out for her to stop and proposed that he drive her to her apartment, Jude didn't want to be alone in a car with him but she was too upset and scared to walk the distance home and took up Tommy's offer..
The car ride home was as silent as they come, she didn't cry, she didn't talk, Hell, she tried not to breath too loud, as she just wanted to get home and cry herself to sleep. The finally pulled up to her place as Tommy looked over at Jude shaking his head, "I don't blame you if you never talk to me again, but just know that I always loved you, it was always you, and I wont ever be able to forgive myself for causing you all this pain" he said as tears came down his cheek, Jude just let out a breath and finally spoke "Tommy, do you even know how much you hurt me today? Today was supposed to be the best day of my life but instead it was the worst, I'll think about it everyday, the pain it won't go away and want to know the worst thing I still love you, I will always love you but tonight you went too far. " She was crying louder and louder "..I was saying bye to Tom and he wanted a goodbye kiss, he said he understood that I loved you and that I deserved to be happy but he just wanted to give the birthday girl one last kiss and you know what, I owed it to him!" Jude yelled as Tommy gasped realizing his mistake "and you didn't trust me and what do you go an do, you run off to Karma! You say you love me, next thing I know you're in bed with her! And I can't say anything bad about her cause she's a sweet girl and doesn't deserve your mind games to be played on her! " Jude had stopped crying because now she was mad, she hated Tommy for causing what she was feeling and she wanted him to know that "It's funny thing, Trust, I mean it takes years to build but can be broken within seconds. Goodbye Tommy, thanks for making me legal. " And with that Jude got out and ran to her door as Tommy just sat there with himself and Jude's words playing over and over in his head, they wouldn't stop, until finally he heard a beep come from his phone that he had left in his car and with that he opened it to see "one missed call – Jude" appear across his phone, he cried again realizing that if he only had his phone, if he'd only answered maybe he wouldn't have lost the one thing that truly mattered to him.
