Chapter 12: The Truth Game

When I woke up the next morning I was fighting with my common sense. I knew it wasn't a dream. I just had to convince my mind of that. I looked out my bay window and smiled. It was cloudy and rainy. That means he could be at school today. I had never been so happy to see it raining in Forks. I quickly took a shower, and brushed my teeth. I looked into my closet and figured out I had no style whatsoever. I threw all my clothes out hoping to find something halfway decent. It took me forever just to find something that I kind of liked. I finally chose a black shirt that showed my belly a little. It showed my scorpion belly ring. It had silver words that said "MusicLife". I put on some tight jeans and a belt that had bottle caps on it.

I looked at my appearance in the mirror and cringed. Why did I suddenly not like anything about me? I picked up my brush and started to try different styles with my hair. I put it up, kept it down, and even put it in pigtails. I finally settled on crimping it in the middle and keeping the rest straight. As I was waiting for the crimp iron to heat up I started to hum a tune. I quickly got my journal from the desk and wrote down some of the words in my head. I got my guitar and then wrote some of the words. I smiled as everything was coming together. I never felt so inspired in my life.

I don't think that passenger seat
As ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes

He'll never fall in love he swears
As he runs his fingers through his hair
And laughing cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke and I fake a smile
That I know all his favorite songs

And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to arguer
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I'd lie

I stopped playing as I saw the light on the iron blink. I sighed and finally did my hair. I went downstairs and saw Stuart and Tommy talking in the kitchen. I tried my hardest not to look a little alarmed. I walked in with a smile on my face. "Good morning, dad," I greeted and kissed him on the cheek. I looked over at Tommy. "Good morning Tommy. What are you doing here so early?"

"I wanted to know if you needed a ride," Tommy's velvet voice filled the air. "By the way, you have a very nice voice."

I suddenly felt myself blush. "You heard me singing?" I asked trying to keep my voice steady. He just nodded. "Oh, well, it's really not that good."

Stuart shook his head. "Yea right," Stuart chuckled to Tommy. "Her mother and I swear she came out singing when she was born. Jude loves everything about music."

I wanted to get out of the house quickly. I knew Stuart would start some stories I didn't want Tommy to hear; in words or thoughts. I grabbed Tommy's arm and ran out the door saying goodbye to Stuart. As we walked I looked at my feet. I knew last night was real, but I still had to ask. We reached his car and he opened my door and I slid in. In an inhumanly speed he came to his side and climbed in. I decided to ask before he started the car. "Yesterday was real right?" I asked, hoping not to sound like an idiot. He nodded his head, and he almost looked sad. "Good, because I want to play a game. It's called the Truth Game."

Tommy started the car with a curious smile on him. "The truth game, huh?" he asked as we pulled out of the driveway. I nodded. "How do you play?"

I was happy that he was playing along with me. "Oh, it's real simple. It's like truth or dare, except without the dare. I ask you a question, and you have to tell the truth no matter what." I instructed. "So, do you want to go first, or should I?"

"You," he simply stated.

I nodded and thought for a minute. There were so many questions I wanted to ask him. I just didn't know which one I wanted to know first. Also, I didn't which one I was allowed to ask. I bit my lip in frustration trying to come up with a good question. "Why…do you consider yourself a monster?" I asked skeptically.

Tommy's perfect lips formed into a frown. "I'm a vampire, Jude," he told me as if I didn't already know.

"So, just because you're a vampire you consider yourself a monster?" I asked. He was being stupid. He was far from any monster I knew of.

"Don't you get it!?" he shouted irritated. "Do you even realize how dangerous it is to be next to me, right now? I just…it's so…" he couldn't finish his sentence.

I looked at him with a sympathetic expression. I grabbed his hand. His head shot down and looked at our entwined fingers. He then looked at me and I smiled. It surprised me that he looked a little scared. I pulled his hand towards me and put my warm lips to his icy knuckles. Then I opened his hand and placed his palm on my flushed cheeks. I sighed in contentment.

I could feel Tommy's fingers softly caressing my cheek. He traveled to my lips, to my nose, and then down my neck and reached my shoulder. He was looking at me the whole time, and yet, he didn't swerve as he drove. His cold hands traveled down my arm slowly. He kept glancing at me, as if he was afraid I would protest. I never did. He made his way back up my arm to my neck. I closed my eyes briefly and opened them again. He made a circle on certain spot on my neck. Suddenly, he moved his hand so fast; it was as if my skin had burnt him. He looked down ashamed then back at the rode.

"Your turn," I sighed in disappointment as we pulled into the school parking lot.

As Tommy parked the car next to the cafeteria, he thought for a moment. "So, what makes me so dazzling?" Tommy asked with humor in his voice.

I looked at him incredulously. "Have you looked in the mirror lately?" I asked him and he laughed at my response. "I'm serious! You're like an Orlando Bloom sundae, smothered in Johnny Depp sauce."

His eyebrows furrowed and I tried my hardest not to blush. "Sorry, I got that from Kat."

The day went by very slow as Tommy and I started to dig up things. It was a very interesting day for me. I couldn't believe how open we were being with each other. Granted, they weren't hard hitting questions, but still, it made me feel like Tommy really trusted me. I trusted him too, though I've only known him for a couple of months. I was glad I came up with this little game. We were having fun too. I was finishing up a question as we both walked into the lunch.

I saw Kat staring at us in pure shock. I heard Tommy chuckle behind me. "What is it?" I asked in a whisper.

"You're going to have a hell of a time answering her questions," Tommy replied trying to keep his laughter in. "She's wondering if you and I are together and how you feel about me." I turned stiff a bit. "I'll be over there with my family."

He walked away and I sighed in relief. I watched as Kat smiled coming up to me. I tried my hardest not to groan. As much as I liked Kat, I knew she was going to ask me about Tommy, and that's something I didn't want him to hear. I knew he was going to listen in on Kat's thoughts, and that might get me in trouble. I forced as smile as she grabbed my arm and we headed to the girl's bathroom. She took a second to make sure no one was in there. "Okay, tell me everything!" Kat squealed.

"Everything?" I asked nervously. How much did she really want to know?

"Yes everything! Are you two together?" She asked with much excitement in her voice.

"Um, I don't exactly know," I said truthfully.

She rolled eyes. "Well, do you like him?"

I sighed not wanting to really say anything. "I guess, yea," I replied. I was hoping that didn't register in her mind.

"You can't guess, Jude. It's either yes or no."

"Okay, fine, yes, I like him…a lot. But I'm sure he doesn't like me the same way." I said disappointed. I really did believe that. How could someone so gorgeous inside and out like ordinary Jude Harrison.

"I don't know about that," she laughed.

I tilted my head. "What do you mean?" I asked as I played with my star ring.

"You should see the way he looks at you. He looks like you're good enough to eat."

I stifled a laugh at that moment. If she only knew how true that was. She finally finished playing twenty questions and we went back to the cafeteria. I saw Tommy in the empty lunch table. I smiled at him and sat next to him. He seemed to not notice I was there as he stared down at his pizza. I cleared my throat and he looked up. But as soon as our eyes met, he looked down again. "Is everything okay?" I asked a little concerned with his behavior.

"That was an interesting conversation," Tommy sighed and picked at a pepperoni.

"You listened in!" I shouted in outrage. I wasn't really surprised, but still. That was a private conversation between me and Kat. Did he know how to respect boundaries at all?

"Yes," he stated. "How could you even think that I don't care about you?"

I looked at him puzzled. "I never said that."

"You implied it," he pointed out.

"I'm sorry, Tommy," I apologize as I looked down at my hands in my lap.

I heard him sigh and I looked up. "No, I'm sorry," he whispered and his face turned into shame.

"It's my turn to ask a question, right?" I asked. He just nodded. "Why are you always so ashamed when you're around me?"

Tommy was about to open his mouth to speak when his sister Sadie came into view. "Are you ready, Tommy?" Sadie chirped and smiled at me. "Hi!" she said excitedly. I waved my hand shyly.

"Jude, this is my sister, Sadie. Sadie this is my new friend, Jude," Tommy introduced.

"Uh huh, friend. Whatever you say. Well, it's nice meeting you, Jude, but we have to go." she said and floated across the room.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

Tommy got up and threw away his untouched food. "We're going hunting. I'll see you later, girl." He winked at me and walked out the same direction Sadie just did. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach when he called me "girl".
