---Chapter---
"Sadie, honey, it is almost midnight. You should get home and get some sleep." Kwest said walking up behind me.
"Alright." I said after a couple minutes. We walked out and I just looked back wishing they would wake up some day soon.
The next morning I walked to their room and it was empty. I immediately broke down. They were gone; did that mean they died over night?
"Mrs. West, is that you?" A nurse asked.
"Yes." I said wiping the tears away.
"Your sister and brother-in-law came to around two this morning. We would have called you, but we knew you had needed your rest. They are down the hall in room fifty-one." The nurse explained.
"Thank you so much." I said as I took off running down the hall.
I ran to the lobby and told Kwest, who was to call people and let them know. I went to Jude and Speed's room next. I walked in the room to see a picture I saw so many times when we were young. They were in the same bed asleep. Speed had his arm around Jude with his chin resting on the top of her head. Jude was holding is hand that rested on her stomach. Speed had that same goofy smile, one that could sum up how happy and in love he was.
That site was different somewhat from what I was use to seeing. For one, they were hooked up to machines. Speed had a cast on his leg while Jude had one on her arm. The other big difference was that they were dressed. I can remember when they were seventeen. Every Friday night was their night after their six month anniversary. They would go out on a date or sometimes stay in and fix dinner. Dad was always at Yvette's on Friday nights and I had dates with Kwest. I would come home late and peek in her room to see if she was there. They were usually there. They would be asleep by the time I got home. It was always the same picture, those two laying there holding each other wrapped up in a single sheet. They always had this happy expression on their faces.
Kwest and I had just got home from a date, it was around one am. Kwest was downstairs in the kitchen and I went upstairs to check on Jude. I was peeking in her room, they looked so sweet. I always checked in on them.
"What are you looking at Sades?" Kwest asked surprising me.
"Them." I said as I moved over.
"They have had sex?" Kwest asked shocked.
"Uh yea, it has only been going on for three months. I always come home to the same picture." I said remembering what it was like to be so young and in love.
"That goofy smile on Speed's face looks so familiar." Kwest stated.
"He always has that smile after he has been with Jude, I have noticed that." I said.
"He had that same smile a week ago when he and Jude got off the tour bus a…damn it, we are going to have to sterilize the damn thing." Kwest said.
"Aw, that is so cute. Why can't you be cute?" I asked Kwest. I was not really listening to him. Two hours later I realized what he meant about the bus.
I never liked the fact that my little sister was so sexually active, but those two were in love.
Jude and Speed had managed to hide the depth of their relationship from the parents for four months. That was not really hard in our dysfunctional family. I was coming home from class and noticed dad's car in the driveway. It was early for him. I walked inside to hear him yelling.
"You are eighteen damn it! Way too young!" I heard my dad yell as I walked around the corner. There on the couch set Jude and Speed. Speed didn't have a shirt on and his pants were unbuttoned, unzipped, and pulled halfway down. Jude was wearing her bra and a pair of girl boxers.
"Dad, it wasn't what you think." Jude said trying to get her way out of this.
"Dad, come here." I said pulling him away.
"Did you know about his?" He yelled at me.
"Well, yes and it is not completely what you think." I lied somewhat.
"Explain." He said sternly.
"Yes, they think they are in love, but they don't get the whole concept. They think they are doing the forbidden by making out in their underwear. They are way to shy and self-conscious for Jude to remove her bra or Speed to remove his boxers. I watch them all the time and know what happens. They haven't quite figured out how it all works." I lied.
"Sadie, are you sure?" My dad asked not totally buying it.
"Dad, I watch them. After ten months, they are just getting that daring. I think we are safe for another year. I promise to watch them like a hawk." I said.
"Fine, I got to get back to work." My dad said before he left. These were one of the times I loved it when he thought we were naïve little girls still.
"What did he say?" Jude asked me as I walked back into the family room.
"Thanks to me, he thinks that you two are being extremely risqué by making out in your underwear and don't understand the concept of how to have sex." I explained.
"Sadie, I owe you so much!" Jude said hugging me.
"Be careful." I said as I went upstairs.
I remember waking up on Saturday mornings to Jude and Speed giggling. I would walk out in the hall and head to her room. I would peek through the crack in the door to see Jude in bed kicking and wiggling around as Speed would tickle her.
"STOP!" I heard Jude yell one morning as she was laughing.
"Not until you say it!" I heard Speed yell back. I knew he was tickling her to get her to get up. I just laid there and listened.
"STOP SPEED! IT TICKLES!" Jude yelled.
It went on for another ten minutes until I heard a loud thud. I jumped out of bed to go see what had happened.
"It is all your fault." I heard Speed say as I walked into the room.
"What is going on?" I asked as I looked at Speed and Jude on the floor tangled in a blanket.
"He was tickling me." Jude said.
"And she caused us to fall out of bed." Speed said.
"Really." I replied. Jude was still trying to hide the depth of their relationship from me. Did she really think I was that stupid after two months of Speed staying every Friday night?
"It isn't what you think Sadie, he really was tickling me because I didn't want to get up." Jude replied a little embarrassed as she made sure the covers weren't revealing anything.
"I heard you two in my room. Thanks for the wake up." I said leaving.
"That was close." I heard Speed whisper to Jude. I just pretended not to hear it.
There were times where I regretted going and peaking in, seeing them actually doing a little more then I needed to see. They were so in love, and no one was going to change that.
A lot of Saturday mornings, Jude would go home with Speed. She would come home dressed the same, but you knew she had taken a shower over there.
"Hey sis." I said as Jude skipped in the house.
"Hey Sades, what are you up to?" Jude asked as she stopped.
"Not much, how was Speed's?" I replied.
"Great." Jude replied, I could tell she was replaying what went down.
"I like your hair, I love the waves in it. Was it like that when you left this morning?" I asked. She was still hiding her relationship from me after three months.
"Yea, it was like this. Why would you ask?" Jude replied suspiciously.
"I just thought it was straight and in a messy bun. Your hair usually looks like that after a shower." I said enjoying how uncomfortable she was becoming.
"Not always, I have to go upstairs and call Jamie." Jude said as she darted out of the room. I knew I had her worried.
I envied how in love they were. At first I was worried that they were being careless and it would result in problems, but after I over heard them one morning as they stepped out of the shower I stopped worrying so much. Speed was in there freaking out because he forgot a condom. It was the first time he had done that. He sounded like a wreck. Jude on the other hand was trying to calm him down and reassure him that everything would be ok and that he was not going to ruin her life.
One Friday night, I had not come home. I stayed with Kwest. Jude had called me that morning wanting to know when I would be home. I told her I would probably be home around noon. I ended up leaving at ten am. When I got home, I noticed Speed's car still in the driveway. I walked upstairs and heard the shower running and noticed Jude's room was empty.
I went in my room to hear the shower shut off. Jude and I had a connecting bathroom and I could hear everything going on in there. Luckily I came home at the end.
"SHIT! Jude I just messed up." I heard Speed say.
"Messed up, how?" Jude replied sounding confused.
"I didn't use any protection." Speed said sounding upset.
"Oh, I forgot about that too." Jude replied.
"It is all my fault! You shouldn't have to worry about it. I never have forgotten before."
"It is not all your fault; it takes two people for this to happen. It will be ok."
"How do you know? You could be pregnant. Oh god, that could ruin your life, your career. I am such an idiot; I just ruined your future all because I wanted to have you here."
"Vincent, calm down. I doubt I am pregnant for various reasons."
"You don't know that Jude, I just ruined everything."
"Calm down, do you want to go the clinic and get emergency contraception?"
"Yes…NO! We can't. The press would have a field day. Plus, then we would have to admit we were two horny teenagers who can't keep their pants on and don't know how to use protection."
"Speed, look at me. Everything will be ok. I know it, I have faith ok. I want you to calm down."
"I am so sorry. I promise if you do get pregnant, I will never leave you. I will be there all nine months, I will be in that delivery room holding your hand, and I will be there for the next eighteen years taking care of it and you. I love you." Speed said, he sounded really upset.
"I love you too, everything will be fine." Jude said.
Then and there I knew he cared for her more than anyone thought. Jude being with Speed made me worry less about her. I had my doubts when they first dated, and I regret that now. Ever since Jude had ditched her release party, I became protective of her. I didn't want to see her hurt again. I will never forget the time she told me that her and Speed were serious and that she was truly in love.
"Sadie, what are you doing?" Jude asked me as she walked in my room and sat on the bed.
"Just putting my makeup on. I have a date with Kwest. Hot date with Speed?" I asked.
"He is doing some stuff with Kyle and Wally. I think I might go over and stay there."
"That is cool, anything else?"
"Do you love Kwest? You two have been dating for five months now."
"I think I do what about you and Spiederman? You two have been together for nine and half months now."
"Yea, I love him a lot. With him, things just seem…I don't know…different?"
"He is a good guy."
"Yea, and he loves me, the real me. Not rock star Jude, just Jude. The Jude that screws up left and right, who is indecisive, the one that doesn't always follow the rules, the one who has to do everything her way, the real me."
"I kind have noticed that."
"Yea…"
"Jude,
was there any particular reason for coming in here?"
"Yea, I
sort of thought I should tell you something."
"What is that?" I asked knowing damn well what she wanted to talk to me about.
"Speed and I have…well…we sort of…"
"You have slept with him?"
"Yea, we share the bed at night when he stays over or I go over there."
"Jude, I didn't mean literally, I meant you have had sex with him?"
"Uh…yea, I have…we did it for the first time on our six month anniversary…and it kinds of happens every Friday night." Jude said as she looked down and turned red.
"Oh my god Jude, how could you hide that from me for three and a half months? I am so hurt." I said pretending to be shocked.
"I don't know, it is kind of embarrassing to talk about."
"Well, you didn't do a good job. I have known all along. I even heard your little shower incident last week."
"What, how?"
"I came home the night of your anniversary and looked to see if you were home. When I looked in, I saw you two naked in bed. That sheet was not doing its job partially because you two had it so twisted and bunched up."
"Oh, I feel so stupid."
"Don't, I was not happy about it at first, but I knew he would treat you right. He really reassured me last week when I heard you two getting out of the shower."
"Wow, please don't tell dad."
"I won't but did you two have sex on the tour bus?"
"Bye Sadie!" Jude said as she turned an even brighter red and ran out of my room.
Speed had this burning passion for her, and I knew she felt the same. When she was in his arms, all her problems disappeared.
Hmm, I see you are down here near that sexy button that says review. You know what to do.
