Chapter 9
Tommy couldn't shift the look in Jude's eyes from his mind as he walked slowly down the stairs, he took the stairs when he needed to think, or when the elevator was being exceptionally slow as was usually the case in Jude's apartment building.
He reached his viper outside, glancing back up in the direction of Jude's place, he could see her in the window, he smiled and waved up to her.
Jude looked down at Tommy, giving him a small wave back.
Tommy turned back, getting into the car missing the large shadowed figure that came into view.
Jude's heart sank as she watched the blue viper speed away, she could see Jason's reflection in the window, her gaze fixed on his face. She lowered her arm, freezing as she felt Jason catch it before it reached her side. She spun round meeting his glare. "Who were you waving at hon'?" she said nothing. "Huh? That Tommy? Huh!" his voice raising "Tommy..." he said mocking her whimpering from the night before "That him?" he yelled again twisting her arm causing her to buckle, bending in an attempt to reduce the angle of her arm. He kept twisting causing her to whimper in pain, "Yes." she whispered. He let go of her arm, letting out a menacing chuckle, the sound ceased and his glare returned. He grasped her upper arms and started walking towards the bedroom causing Jude to stumble before she matched his pace, backing into the room.
Her legs met the end of the bed, he continued his advance forcing her legs to collapse beneath her as he pressed her down against the bed. Her eyes filled with fear and she flinched as he placed his hands on her hips, Jason noticed this and he raised his head meeting her eyes "You love him don't you?" he growled "Too bad you're still dating me." he added in a menacingly calm tone. His hands gripped her hips as he placed a knee on the bed, shifting her upwards and towards the centre of the large bed. He shot her a glare and got up turning to shut the door and plunging the room into semi darkness, Jude slipped her hand into her back pocket retrieving her cell phone and quickly slipped it beneath one of the pillows. Jason returned to the bed the fear in Jude's eyes returning as she practically shook with fear. He crawled up over her, stopping as his knees came level with her hips.
She shut her eyes tight, refusing to look at him, trying to imagine she was somewhere else, in Tommy's arms, she always felt safe in Tommy's arms.
Jason pulled hard at the sides of Jude's shirt, breaking the threads holding the buttons in place and letting it fall open.
Click.
She gasped, whimpering slightly as she felt the cold metal against her stomach. He ran the blade up her body meeting the edge of her bra he ran the knife under the centre pulling upwards slicing through the black lace. A tear slipped down her cheek 'I'm in the studio, I'm in Tommy's arms, I'm on stage, anywhere but here'
Jason began scratching at her skin with the blade, her body tensed as she felt the cold metal against her skin followed by that familiar sting.
He traced over the shape a couple of times over the same lines as blood rose to the surface creating the red outline of a heart between her breasts.
He flicked the knife closed again slipping it into his pocket, Jude's breathing quickened as she held her eyes shut, trying to imagine herself out of the situation.
"Look at me Jude." he said firmly, shook her head slowly "No." she said through a sob. "Look at me." he said again pressing his thumb into the centre of the heart causing the stinging sensation to return to her body. She opened her eyes, they shone with unfallen tears. He ran his hand down her side, she shuddered, his hand crossed at her waist finding the centre of her jeans he unbuttoned them, his eyes still locked on hers.
Tommy sat restlessly at home, occasionally getting up only to pace around the room. He had flipped open his phone a few times so close to calling Jude 'No, you told her to call you, she'd call if something was wrong... right?'
Jason pulled his clothes back on, picking up his coat from the chair in the corner.
Jude was curled on the bed crying her heart out. He left silently, slamming the front door behind him.
Tommy had heard, Jude's hand crept under the pillow flipping open her phone and finding the number one on the keypad, she held it down.
A call of only a few minutes and the first thing his mind had locked onto in the muffled sounds was Jude's voice, pleading, screaming at someone to stop.
Now there was almost complete silence, though he was sure the line was still connected, he could hear faint sobbing from the other end...
Grabbing his car keys he tore out of his house...
