Deja Vu

"Do you guys need anything?" Dominic asked, walking into he and Thea's bedroom where Thea and Jude were sitting in.

"No, we're fine." Thea nodded to him.

"I can sleep on the couch, Dominic. This is your bed." Jude shook her head.

"No, don't worry about it." Dominic smiled, "You sure I can't bring you guys anything? Tea or coffee? Chocolate?"

"You've really trained him well." Jude smiled to Thea tiredly as she nodded, "I'll take some tea."

"I'm ok, babe." Thea assured him.

"Alright. One tea coming up." Dominic nodded, leaving the bedroom and heading back downstairs.

Meanwhile Jude had turned to Thea with a look of curiosity.

"What?" Thea shook her head.

"He knows, doesn't he?" Jude figured as Thea sighed.

"I had to tell him." Thea nodded, "He's my husband and he… he's got this annoying thing where he knows when something is wrong with me. He's not gonna tell anyone." She promised as Jude nodded.

"It's fine." Jude nodded, "I mean eventually… everyone will know." Jude realised with horror, "Mom and dad. Sean. Cass. Uncle Dean-"

"Jude, you don't have to think about what people are gonna say or do. You just… concentrate on you and what's gonna help you."

"Right now, I don't feel like anything is going to help me." Jude admitted, pulling the covers up over her as they sat up against the headboard, "I just feel numb." She shook her head as Thea nodded.

"I know." Thea nodded, "Well… I don't know, actually. But… I can only imagine." Thea said as Jude nodded, "Do you… mind if I ask you some things?" She wondered.

She could tell Jude was a little brighter than before. There didn't seem to be the same denial about her. But it wasn't hard to see how badly this was effecting her.

"No, ask whatever you want." Jude nodded bravely. She knew in the back of her head that she wasn't going to be able to hide this from everyone forever, and part of her didn't want to. She didn't want to deal with this on her own.

"When you woke up this morning…" Thea said as Jude closed her eyes. It was something she couldn't stop thinking about all day. Waking up.

"Yeah?" Jude nodded.

"Did you see anything in the room that… that would help you figure out who did this? Whose house you were in?" Thea wondered.

"No, it was just a house." Jude shook her head.

Thea figured if she could ease Jude into talking about it, if she was comfortable, it could possibly help her, even if it just helped a tiny bit. She had to try everything to make her sister not feel alone.

"How far was it from the bar?" Thea asked.

"Well the house was outside the park so… like ten minutes walking distance." Jude nodded.

"And you don't remember walking home?" Thea asked.

"I don't remember leaving the bar. It goes blank. Straight to me waking up in the morning." Jude said as Thea nodded.

"Here you go, Jude." Dominic walked back into the room with tea for Jude.

"Thank you." Jude nodded, taking the tea from him.

"Shout me if you need anything, ok?" He nodded as Thea smiled to him gratefully, watching him leave the bedroom and close the door over behind him.

"I uh… I put your clothes in a bag, just so you know." Thea said, "In case you wanna go to the police and they want to check for DNA or something." She said.

"I know it's the right thing for me to do." Jude assured her, "I'm not an idiot." She said, "But I don't know if I can go into a room and tell people that whilst I was knocked out cold, someone was…" She paused, taking a deep breath, "Having sex with me." She shook her head, "I mean I… I don't know what this person did to me. I don't know how I can live with that." She admitted.

"Because you're strong, and you're not about to let this… creature, whoever it is, make you feel less than what you are." Thea said, "He will get caught. And the more chance of him getting caught is if you report it." She said as Jude nodded, she knew that, "And Dominic was saying to me that… maybe it's linked to the other attacks… the ones you told me about to do with the institute."

"I… I never even thought of that." Jude realised.

"I didn't either." Thea nodded, "I guess no one can be sure." She said as Jude nodded, "I just want you to know that you're not alone. And… whatever you decide to do, I'll be there. At any time." She said.

"I think I have to go to the police." Jude nodded, "But… I think it's best if I tell Sean first. I'd hate to have him find out through his work." She shook her head. She was now considering the possibility of going to the police. She knew it was the right thing to do, and being able to realise that on her own was vital, compared to someone telling her she needed to go and report it.

"Yeah, I think you should tell him first." Thea said as Jude nodded.

"What do I even say?" Jude shook her head, rubbing her forehead.

"You say what happened. You just tell the truth." Thea nodded.

"I really don't want to tell mom or dad." Jude shook her head, "More shit for them to worry about-"

"Hey." Thea shook her head, "You don't need to be thinking about anyone else's feelings right now besides your own." She made clear as Jude nodded, "Are you hurt? You're not in any pain, are you?" Thea asked as Jude looked at her.

"I have bruises all up my thighs." Jude nodded, "And I'm… I'm sore down there." She said as Thea looked at her, "And I uh… my wrists have burns around them." She showed Thea who sighed, "I'm no idiot. I know that I should go to the police now so that they have all this evidence." She said, "I just don't know if I can admit it all. Just makes it more real." She said as Thea nodded.

"I think you should do what's best for you right now." Thea said, "What you feel you can handle." She nodded.

"I can't handle any of this." Jude shook her head truthfully as Thea sighed, shuffling closer to her sister and wrapping her arms around her, brushing her hair out of the way.

"You can." Thea nodded, "You're the toughest bitch I know." She said, "Way tougher than the vile person who did this." She nodded as Jude leaned into her shoulder, "You're not alone." She sighed.

"Phil." AJ nudged Punk through the night in bed, "Someone is knocking at the door."

"Huh?" Punk lifted his head from the pillow suddenly, "What? You ok?" He asked sleepily.

"I'm fine but someone is knocking at the door." AJ nodded. She hadn't been sleeping anyway, she couldn't.

"What time is it?" Punk grumbled tiredly.

"2am." AJ said as Punk huffed.

"Ok, I'll… I'll go check it out." Punk said tiredly, getting out of bed and walking to their bedroom door.

"Phil." AJ snapped.

"What?" Punk turned to her, half asleep as he walked.

"You are completely naked." She cared to let him know as Punk looked down, nodding to himself and then chuckling to himself.

"Well that's not good." Punk chuckled to himself as AJ shook her head, "Uh… boxers… boxers…" He stumbled around the room, finding his boxer shorts on the floor, putting them on.

"Ok, you're good." AJ nodded, watching him leave the bedroom and head downstairs.

Punk made it to the bottom of the stairs, unlocking the door, turning the hall light on which made him screw his sleepy eyes up. He was definitely not overjoyed when he opened the door up to his mother, half-drunk standing at the door.

"Oh, it's 2am." Punk shook his head, "I don't need this right now." He made clear.

"I have something to say." Sam said, tipsy but with her wits still about her.

"Odds are I don't wanna hear it." Punk nodded, "Look, I'm good enough to let you come here every year for Christmas. Even if it makes me and Dean uncomfortable. The girls weirdly like you." He said as Sam folded her arms, "But then you take it too far and get drunk and ruin everything."

"I'm not here to talk about me." Sam said.

"What are you here to talk about then?" Punk shook his head, "What could possibly need to tell me at 2am." He yawned as Sam looked at him.

"Phil." AJ came downstairs once hearing Sam's voice, "Phil, why don't you go back to bed?" She nodded, placing her hand on his back as she came to the door.

"Yeah… yeah, you deal with her. She's more frightened of you." Punk nodded, walking away tiredly and heading upstairs as AJ looked over at Sam.

"I'm coming in." Sam announced, walking into the house, making her way down to the kitchen as AJ sighed, closing the door over and eventually heading into the kitchen.

"What are you doing here?" AJ asked.

"I had some déjà vu tonight." Sam nodded, "And I didn't like it." She said as AJ looked across at her.

"What are you talking about?" AJ shook her head as Sam looked across at her.

"I think you know." Sam said as AJ looked at her, "When I saw Jude come in here today… reminded me of a certain someone. A certain nineteen year old I found-"

"Sam." AJ shook her head.

"And judging by your reaction… you saw it too. You felt it." Sam said as AJ shook her head. She wouldn't believe it. She couldn't.

"I don't know what you're talking." AJ shook her head.

"Yes you do." Sam said, "Something happened to Jude last night. You know it. I know it. Thea for sure knows it." She said.

"No…" AJ whispered to herself, "No, she was just sick. That's all." AJ convinced herself, even though deep down she could see it too.

"You know that's not true." Sam said, "It's Jude. She walks into a room with the best energy." She said, "She walked in this morning like someone had died. As her mother, I know I'm not telling you things you don't already know."

"No… no, she's ok. She's fine." AJ nodded to herself. She was absolutely not letting her mind go there. Not one of her girls. She wasn't thinking about what Sam was insinuating.

"Didn't look it to me. Looked to me like someone who was extremely traumatised." Sam nodded, "You ought to talk to her. And you ought to come up with a plan to make sure his ass upstairs doesn't go murdering anyone after he finds out-"

"No… no, just… just hold on a minute." AJ shook her head, "What are you trying to say to me right now?" She questioned, "That my daughter was… was-"

"Raped." Sam nodded, "I watched her the entire day. The shock, the shower, the sleeping most of the day, throwing up at dinner, the constant 'I'm fine' she kept insisting on." Sam said.

"What and that… that means that she was sexually assaulted? That's what you gathered from that?" AJ shook her head.

"April, I know you know what I'm talking about." Sam said, "And it's ok if you're refusing to believe it. But I'd say if there's anyone Jude needs right now, it's her mother." She nodded.
