A.N. okay so this is sort of a filler chapter. nothing interesting happens but trust me... it will soon enough!
Chapter Nine
"You did what!" Jude backed away, not loving Mason's tone.
"I'm just helping him out! I don't understand why you are getting so hostile!" Mason rolled his eyes.
"You obviously don't know what I know." Jude rolled her eyes as well.
"Really? Well, unless it's something along the lines of Professor Quincy just trying to get me alone to rape or kill me then I really don't care!" Jude cringed inside. Her and Mason hardly ever fought, and never on this level. She just couldn't understand why Mason was being so… mean.
Mason threw his hands up in the air.
"Well he might for all we know!" Jude looked away angry and confused.
"You know not that long ago, you wanted to know whether or not he was batting for our team! What changed?" Jude yelled.
"Jude you just don't see what I see!" Jude scoffed.
"Okay and what's that?" She said icily. Mason toned his voice down a bit.
"You want to know what I see every time you even mention Quincy's name?" Jude shrugged and looked away. She was more then ready for this conversation to be over.
"You get this… light in your eyes. You don't realize it, maybe because it's hardly there. Maybe I only see it because, well one, I'm gay, and two, I'm your best friend. I think that you might have some feelings for Quincy." Jude turned to look at Mason, disbelief in her eyes.
"I don't have feelings for him. I love Speed. You remember him don't you? My boyfriend?"
"And let's face it Jude. You and Speed have been together for practically ever. He's been gone for a while and you're starting to realize he may not be the one for you." Jude shook her head.
"That's ridiculous. I love Speed. And I do miss him like crazy!" Jude sat down on her bed, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Do you think I like this feeling? I feel so… alone! And maybe I feel a little abandoned. Speed's off living his dream, and I'm not so sure that this is what I want anymore." Jude sighed heavily, wiping away her tears.
"I don't think teaching is right for me. And it's just leaving me… really confused." Mason sat down next to her and wrapped his arms around her. Jude buried her head into his shoulders.
"Can you promise me something Mason?" She pulled away and looked at his face.
"What?" Jude smiled.
"Can we never fight again?" She held out her pinkie.
"I promise." Mason linked pinkies with hers.
"I hate fighting with you." She said, leaning against him.
"Yeah me too. I always lose in some way." Jude laughed.
"Yeah, that's more or less true." Mason chuckled.
"Now you won't have to face your sister!"
"That was sort of my goal." The two friends laughed as they went back to their normal routine. Jude didn't know what she would do without Mason. He was most definitely her rock in life's little situations.
