"Jude! What are you doing here," They said. "I think the better question is, what are you doing here at 1 AM?" Jude asked them as Tommy came downstairs and saw who was at the door. "Get the hell out of here!" He yelled. Jude glared at him before hissing "Tommy! You don't wanna wake up Hope do you?" Jude said. "Who's Hope?" The person asked before looking at them. "She's our daughter," Jude said looking them straight in the eye. The person just nodded slowly as they looked at Jude and Tommy, "We need to talk," They said. Noticing how sad they looked, Tommy just nodded and let them in. As they came in, Jude and Tommy finally had a good view of them. They had scratches and bruises all over their body. They were bleeding everywhere, and they didn't look too good. After surveying her for a few minutes, Jude finally spoke up, "What happened?" They person just looked shamefully to the ground and said nothing. But as they bent over, blood started flowing out of their nose. Jude looked at them in pity and ran to get tissues and some ice.

Scene: 10 PM, Shelbi's POV (In Diary Form)
Dear Diary,
I needed to get out of the house. My supposed fiancée, yes I said fiancée, he proposed yesterday, was at home making out on the couch. Not with me, but with one of my best friends! I had walked in on them, and all Nathan could say was, "Get the hell out, tonight's not your night!" He said fierce fully. All I could do was nod. I didn't wanna be around him right then. He was cheating on me before, and I knew it then too, but I still loved him. I couldn't get rid of him. I needed to talk to a friend, but then I had realized that I had left my keys inside the house. I quickly ran back inside to get them, and I tried to run out before he caught me, but he did. I tried to run, but Nathan grabbed my arm. I tried to pry myself out of his grip, but he wouldn't let go. I don't need to get into details, but let's just say that he caused me damage. Ok, I need to let this out, fine. He had hit me. He punched and slapped my face. He kicked my knees and repeatedly hit me. When he had finally stopped, he gave me one final kick in the stomach and left me. He looked at me in pity and said, "Poor you, come back tomorrow when you're welcome here," He said. He turned and looked at me one more time and just laughed. I needed to get away, so I drove, I drove to the nearest person I could.
After about 4 hours, I had reached my destination. I got out of the car, still surprised at how I could still walk, nonetheless drive there. I knocked on the door and hoped someone would be there. One of the lights was on, so I knew someone was there. I knocked on the door and got no answer. As I knocked on the door harder, I still got no answer. I just stood there for five minutes and waited. Hopefully someone would open the door. As I stood, my wish came true, someone had opened the door, but it was not who I thought it would be. It was Jude. At Tommy's house. Why was she there? What was she doing there? Wasn't she supposed to be in Toronto? All these thoughts raced through my mind. I started thinking the worst. I started thinking something was wrong with Tommy. As Jude spoke, I snapped out of my thoughts. "Oh my god, what are you doing here?" Jude had asked suprised. I asked her what she was doing there and she countered with the whole "the-better-question-is" routine and tried to turn it on me. I wasn't in the mood to fight, so I just stood there quietly until Tommy had screamed at me to get out. Jude had asked him to shut up becuase he would wake up Hope. I just stood there, I asked who Hope was, but then I remembered, she was Jude's daughter. Sadie had told me about her. I just asked if we could talk, and before I knew it, I was sitting on the couch with a bloody nose...he really messed me up bad.
