Jude heard a knock at her door she put down the tub of frosting and paused her movie 'The notebook'. She stood up and stretched, her sweats were rolled up at the waist and she was wearing a black tank top. Her hair was in a messy bun. She checked her phone to see what time it was 11:00 p.m. who was knocking at her door at this time of night?
No one should have been knocking on her door at this time of night. She decided for a safety precaution to grab the iron fire poker by the fire place and take that too the door. She slowly opened the door only to find Tommy standing there. She let out a sight of relief and placed the fire poker against the wall. She was glad it wasn't some axe murder trying to figure out who was home and who wasn't. The feeling of relief quickly disappeared and was replaced with a feeling of annoyance.
"What are you doing here Tommy?" He took a step closer and was using the doorframe as support. Jude could smell the alcohol on his breath.
"Did you drive here?" Tommy shook his head.
"Cab." He leaned his head against the door frame.
"What do you want Tom?" She asked starting to get agitated.
"Jude! I think I messed up!
"What did you mess up?"
Tommy's face started to turn green. Jude could tell he was about to throw up.
"This way she lead him to the downstairs bathroom. They barely made it to the toilet when he started to blow chunks. Jude didn't want to listen, see, and or smell any of that so she left him to do his business. While she went and closed the front door and put her frosting away there was no way she was going to eat anything else tonight. She realized her relaxing night had come to an end. What had he meant that he messed up? Was he talking about with Alex? Or was he talking about with her?
It had been about ten minutes since Jude left Tommy alone in the bathroom. She decided it might be the best idea to go and check on him and make sure he hadn't died from choking on his vomit. Jude lightly knocked on the door before she opened it. Tommy was passed out on the floor in front of the toilet. She leaned over without looking into the toilet and flushed it. She was going to let him sleep there after everything he has done he can sleep on the floor. He was lucky he actually got to come inside.
The next day Jude woke up to knocking on her door. Before she could even answer it Tommy walked into her room. He looked like death. But he had showered and cleaned up. He found the clothes that Jude put out for him, because he was wearing them.
"Yes?" Jude asked he didn't respond he just walked in and laid down on his side of the bed. Jude looked at him like he was crazy.
"Standing was making me nauseous." He smiled at her.
"What did you mess up?" She didn't want to wait. It had kept her up almost all night just thinking about what he could mean.
Tommy looked at her like she should know.
"I lied to you." He said staring her straight in the eyes. His ice blue eyes were all she could think about sometimes but right now all she wanted to see was emerald green eyes.
"What did you lie about?" Jude gritted her teeth, she hated being lied to. It was something that was almost completely unforgivable to her.
"About the writing on the flowers. I did it not the lady at the shop. I was just scared about what would happen if I admitted to it. I really want this child and I know you don't. Well I was scared of getting hurt. I am sorry Jude." He confessed. Jude glared at him. Of course it was all about a baby.
"Get out of my house Tommy. You know how I feel about being lied too. For your information, if you would have fought for me or told me the truth like I was hoping you would I was going to tell you I would try and have a baby with you. That I would try and make you happy and maybe during the pregnancy I could warm up to the idea and be extremely happy about it. Not now. Now I want you out and if you don't get out I will call the cops." Jude said as calmly as she could. He nodded and slowly got out of her bed.
"I have to call a cab." He said when he reached the door.
"I don't care. Wait outside." He nodded and left her bedroom.
"You were right. You did mess up!" She hollered at him.
"I am going to fight for you Jude." He yelled before he closed the front door. Jude leaned back in her bed. Tears threatened to roll down her cheeks. She was not going to shed another tear over him she vowed to herself. She got up and went into her own little studio area and worked on her a few songs that were coming to her mind. He had always been her inspiration.
A week went by faster than Jude would have liked it too. She was busy working on her music which wasn't much of a vacation but she had gotten more work done in this week than she had in a month. Tommy hadn't talked to her since the night he came over drunk and proclaiming he was going to fight for her. Jude couldn't tell if she was relieved or upset that he hadn't tried anything. Jude had called dominos two more times that week. Each time Ryan came and brought the pizza's too her. One night he came over after his shift. It was around 11 o'clock he didn't leave till 3 in the morning. They ate a pizza together and talked about work, families, school, and everything under the sun.
When Jude returned to G-major she got a surprise. Ryan was waiting by Sadie's desk for her with red roses. Jude smiled at him.
"I think it would be the perfect time to ask this." He smiled at her.
"Oh yeah what would that be?
"Would you like to go on a date with me?" Asked Ryan. Jude couldn't take her eyes off his emerald green eyes. She tried to open her mouth to respond but nothing came out. She tilted her head, smiled, and nodded her head. He just laughed at her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Jude watched him walk out of G-major, when she turned out around Tommy was staring at her. There was something different in his expression. Jude didn't care right now. She had to go tell Sadie what just happened.
