Here's the next chapter. Thanks to everyone who has been reviewing. I like suggestions for my stories, but this one is actually almost completely written out and posted on DLS except 2 or 3 chapters so I will not be changing it. I can tell you that Portia will make an appearance and that there will be some major drama eventually. ENJOY!
Chapter 14
Revelations
When they arrived at the stadium Jude watched as Sadie got off the Boyz Attack bus with Chaz's arm wrapped around her waist. She frowned knowing this could not be good, as Chaz leaned down to whisper in her sister's ear and Sadie giggled in response. She also knew she had to give Sadie time to cool down, before Sadie would listen to anything Jude had to say, especially warnings about Chaz.
Jude finally got Sadie alone in their hotel room the following night. Jude had been staying in Tommy's room as usual and had left Sadie alone hoping a little time would lessen her anger. Apparently it hadn't because when Jude entered the room Sadie turned to glare at her.
"Shouldn't you be with Tommy?" Sadie sneered. Jude took a deep breath and sat down on the other double bed.
"Look Sadie...I'm sorry..."
"Yeah...Sure you are..." Sadie said disbelief clear in her voice.
"I am! I know you're mad at me, but please listen to me." Sadie just rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "Watch out for Chaz. He's been through so many girls on this tour already." Sadie shook her head with a look of disgust on her face.
"What is it with you? Did you sleep with every Boyz Attack member or something?"
"What?! No!"
"Chaz was so sweet when we were hanging out. He listened to me when I bitched about you and Tommy. But then he started asking me questions about you. He thought he was being subtle, but I could tell he only wanted to know more about you. Why is he so obsessed with you?"
"I...I don't know...I mean he asked me out before, but I told him I wasn't interested." Sadie was not used to being second place in front of guys. "Sadie the only reason I didn't tell you about Tommy was because I was afraid you'd tell dad." Sadie was angry and hurt all over again hearing that Jude didn't trust her.
"God Jude do you really think that's a good enough reason to lie to me?!"
"No...But..."
"Why would you get together with him anyway? You said you hated boy banders." Sadie asked curiosity getting the best of her, even though she was still mad at her sister.
"You think I wanted to fall for him?! I came on this tour to get my music out there."
"Then what happened?" Jude shook her head. "You still can't tell me the truth?" Sadie scoffed. "He's married! You think he's going to leave his wife for you? You're just like Yvette!" Sadie said callously wanting to hurt her. Jude's face crumbled then as Sadie looked on in shock. Jude was not a crier. When their first dog Sam had died, 6 year old Jude had stayed dry eyed while Sadie had cried her heart out. Jude buried her face in her hands and Sadie could hear the sobs coming from her. Sadie moved over to sit besides Jude and put her hand tentatively on her back, but Jude didn't even notice.
"Jude I didn't mean it...Don't cry..." Sadie pulled her sister into her arms and Jude sobbed into her shoulder.
"I tried so hard not to fall for him Sadie. I swear. We just started hanging out together, as friends nothing else. When we talked...He just got me, like no one else ever did." Sadie stroked her hair softly like their mother used to do.
"Did he seduce you?" Jude shook her head against her sister's shoulder.
"We were hanging out one night and we got caught in the rain and we just kissed. It was like everything we had ever done together was leading to that kiss. It was so amazing and so scary." Jude looked up at Sadie. "Have you ever had a kiss like that? Where it's like you just know he's the only one it'll ever be like that with?"
"No Jude..." Sadie said softly, starting to realize how much Jude cared about Tommy and starting to worry.
"I don't know what to do Sadie."
"Jude you're going to get hurt if you stay with him..."
"I know, but I love him so much. How do I let that go?" Sadie was scared for her sister now. Tommy would break her heart. It was inevitable.
"I don't know."
We Want Details
When Jude had finally calmed down, Sadie gave her a small smile.
"I think we should have a girls night out." Sadie suggested, though she could see Jude wasn't thrilled at the suggestion. "Come on..." Sadie wheedled. "I have to leave in a few days." Jude nodded reluctantly.
Jude called Tommy's room and left a message explaining where she'd be and that she's probably stay with Sadie the rest of the night. Sadie rolled her eyes.
"He doesn't own you you know?" Jude shrugged.
"Does it make me pitiful if I wish he did?" Sadie shook her head.
"You are hopeless." I know.
As they walked down the hotel hallway all dressed up or skanked up as Jude liked to think of it, Sadie asked a question that made Jude blush bright red.
"So how is he in bed?"
"Sadie!"
"Come on Jude. The world wants to know!"
"Let's just say...If it was any better...I'd probably just drop dead."
"Hey I want details!" They joked and argued the rest of the way to the hottest club in town. Where they drank into the wee hours, flirted with random guys and came back stumbling to their room.
Big Sister
She had been avoiding him, he knew it and he alternated between anger and confusion. She had stayed with Sadie the night before and they had been on the bus the next day. Jude and Sadie had apparently worked out their differences and he was glad for her, but she was spending all her time with her sister and barely speaking to him. So when he saw Sadie sitting alone in the lounge, where they were performing that night, he immediately walked up to her.
"Hey Sadie." She looked up from her Economics textbook and gave him a funny look. He sat down next to her, forcing her to pay attention to him.
"What do you want Tommy?" Her voice was not overly friendly, surprising him a little. Jude and Sadie were getting along again, so why was Sadie P.O.'d at him?
"What's going on with Jude?" Sadie didn't answer. He could tell she knew something. "Did you say something to her?"
"Nothing she didn't already know."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sadie sighed.
"Do you care about my sister?" She asked seriously, looking into his eyes for any sign of a lie.
"More than anyone I've ever known." He said honestly knowing she was just looking out for Jude.
"She's not like your fans you know? She graduated from high school a virgin. I don't know what you think you're doing with her."
"Sadie..." He interrupted.
"Tommy if you care about her maybe you should let her go. You're going to hurt her." He could never hurt her, he thought. But deep down in his rarely acknowledged conscience he knew he might, because that was his M.O.
"I can't Sadie..." Sadie's blue eyes flashed fire now and he stopped her before she could yell at him. "I love her." She opened her mouth and closed it again, not knowing what to say. Tommy Q was in love with her sister and actually admitting it. And Jude was in love with him. They say love conquers all, but Sadie couldn't see their affair ending well.
"Well you better figure something out then, because you aren't single and you can't string Jude along forever."
Bittersweet
Tommy got off the hotel elevator and saw her blond hair and familiar figure right away. She was walking out the door, into the heavy rain that was pelting the sidewalks. Sadie had left for the airport that morning and Jude had still not looked for him. The times she had seen him, she had been with her sister and the sadness in her eyes when she had caught his gaze had haunted him. He didn't want to explore the very real possibility that maybe she was trying to let him go. He quickly rushed to the entrance and out into the deluge, seeking out her form among the few solitary souls willing to brave the downpour. He finally saw her start to turn a corner and he ran.
Jude didn't know why she was stupid enough to be out here, in this miserable wet city. It was just everywhere she went, she thought of him, missing him. She was trying so hard to remember who she was before he came into her life. She needed to find herself again and not be this girl addicted to a man she had no right to. Someone grabbed her from behind and spun her around, making terror leap to her chest. His lips crushed down on hers and all of her thoughts fell away. When they parted to breathe, he pulled her to an overhang and brushed her wet bangs from her face, mirroring the gesture that had started their relationship. Her cheek leaned into the palm he held to it and she closed her eyes. His thumb traced her lips and then his mouth was on hers again. She wrapped her arms around his waist underneath his leather jacket, soaking what had still been dry, not that he cared. Tommy was too busy reminding her with his mouth and tongue what he meant to her. When he pulled away she stared up at his eyes that had turned a dark shade of blue.
"Don't let go Jude." She shook her head.
"I won't." She replied and hugged him.
Bleed For Me
The rain was only a drizzle now as they walked along the city sidewalks. Not many people were out and those that were hurried along to their destinations. They didn't look twice at the soaked couple holding hands as they strolled down the street.
"What would you do for me?" Jude asked jokingly as swung around to face him.
"Anything."
"Would you eat a spider?" He raised an eyebrow at her.
"If I have to."
"Would you bleed for me?" He looked behind her at the shop window and grinned.
"Yeah I would." He bent down and kissed her lips softly, before pulling her towards the front door.
They emerged 3 hours later, Jude not quite sure how this had all happened. His lips had been so convincing as the needle brushed her bare hip and by that time it was too late to stop. It had hurt some, but she barely noticed as he held her hand and stared into her eyes. She wanted to see what the ink looked like against his skin, but the bandage covered it and she knew she would have to wait. She had told Sadie she wanted to belong to him and now in a small way she did. They both had the same tattoo branded into their skin now. His was on his right bicep and hers was on the backside of her left hip. It was simply a stylized J & T intertwined with curly q's surrounding it, making the individual letters hard to make out unless you knew what to look for. It looked like random swirls, making a paisley design. But they knew and that was all that mattered.
