Hey, people. Here's more. Thanks for stickin with me.. :)
Chapter 9
A week passed. Speed was arriving home today. There stood everyone, waiting for his car. They had been there for over an hour, and Speed still hadn't shown. "Where is he?" Jude asked, bouncing on her leg, as nervousness overtook her. "I don't know. Just calm down. He'll be here." Kwest stated. Right as Kwest said this, Speed's red truck came into view. Five minutes later, everyone was hugging and saying their "sorrys".
"Hey Speed..." Jude said carefully. Speed just looked at her. He had given a lot of thought to what Kwest had told him. Honestly, he was scared. And he didn't want to take any chances. "Jude...we gotta talk..." Jude took a sharp breath in, "That's never good..."
"Nope..." Jude sighed and walked with Speed a little ways from the group. The entire time, Tommy stood there watching every move.
"Jude...I...I know what's happened. Why you came here...what you've gone through..." Jude looked at him in horror. "Who told you?" she breathed out. "Kwest..." Jude looked over at Kwest, then at Tommy. Tommy stared at her, wondering what was going through her brain. A tear slid down her face. Tommy wanted nothing more than to hold her, and tell her everything would be okay, but he couldn't. Speed was back...
"I can't do this..." Speed said, breaking Jude away from her thoughts. "I can't take the chance of this, at the risk of getting hurt. I don't know what the hell it is...a curse or what. But it scares the shit out of me, and I don't like it. I'm sorry Jude. But you made my grandmother die! It's ...I can't do it...it's over..." With that, Speed ran to his car, started the engine, and drove off.
Jude grew angry, and hurt. How could Tommy do this? How could he tell Kwest after he promised not to!? "Tommy!" Tommy looked at Jude suddenly, releasing his gaze from Kwest. "Yeah, Jude wha--" Tommy was cut off by Jude's hand sliding across his face-hard. "I thought I could trust you! I thought I could tell you a secret, and you'd learn to keep your mouth shut!" As she said 'shut', Jude pushed Tommy, who fell to the ground, still surprised by the slap. "Speed broke up with me because he's scared! He said that I killed his grandmother! He said that he knew my past because Kwest told him!" Tommy stood up, and looked at Kwest. Kwest looked down at the ground. "Don't look at him! You're the one who told him in the first place! How could you!?" Jude pushed Tommy again, but as she was doing so, she broke down into Tommy's arms. He held her tight, whispering in her ear. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Shhh, it's okay. Everything will be okay."
"No it won't!!!" Jude pushed away from Tommy. "You ruined everything. I hate you!" Tommy looked at her with shock, and hurt written all over his face. Jude covered her mouth, even herself was surprised at what she just said. She said it. She actually told Tommy she hated him. She said it. The girl that Tommy adored most, hated him. His crush-turned-love, hates him...
yay. let me know how you like it. :)
