After the show Jude went straight to the bus and climbed on getting a seat as far in the back as she could she wanted to avoid Tommy or anyone else who would question her about her fifteen minute stay in the bathroom earlier. She let out a sigh and laid her head back on the seat and let a tear roll down her cheek. How could she be happy about this, she was sixteen, her music career was just starting...and she was pregnant. How could she be happy about this, but by some weird coincidence she was and it was scaring the hell out of her.
Seeing Tommy walk onto the bus it felt like her stomach dropped ten feet. She looked down she could tell by the look on his face he knew something was up, he didn't have the usual smirk on it. Now it was covered with fear, shock, and concern. "Jude, we need to talk." He said softly as he sat down in the seat beside of her. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out the test he had taken from the bathroom "about this." he finished as he sat it gently in her lap. She looked over at him the tears where still falling he once again wiped them away "No more tears babygirl, just talking." he said softly.
He wrapped an arm around her and let out a sigh "What are we going to do?" he asked looking over at her. She shrugged her shoulders a little "I don't know Tommy." she said quietly looking down at her stomach she placed a hand on it. It was flat and straight now...by the time she finished the tour it would be far from that. That's when the thought hit her, when she finished the tour, she would be going back home. That meant having to go back to her mother, and she knew that would never work if she was pregnant. "Tommy, What are we going to do!" she asked looking over at him. Her voice was more worried and rushed then Tommy's had been when he had asked her the same question.
"I don't know Jude." He said quietly, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "We'll figure that out a little later ok?" Tommy really didn't know what to do right now. He was confused and scared and worried. What could he do. What about when Jude's mom found out.. would she press charges. "Tommy I'm scared."Jude said honestly her voice had a whiney almost sobbing sound to it as she spoke. Tommy just held her close and placed a kiss over her forehead again. "So am I." he said Honestly. She laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes "What are we going to do when they tours over, or during the tour. What if word gets around to my mom that I'm pregnant...or my dad." she said the last part even more quietly then the first. She knew that being pregnant would dissapoint her father and that's the last thing she wanted to do.
"Shh...Don't worry about that right now." he said as he gently stroked her hair. It wasn't good for her to be this worried he hated seeing her get upset and if she kept on like she was that's exactly what she would do. "I love you Jude." he said softly she just nodded and kissed the bottom of his jaw then laid her head back down on his Shoulder. She just couldn't bring herself to say that to him. She had been hurt too many times by those three words and she didn't want to be hurt again. She knew that if she said them more then likely in the end that would be what happened.
Tommy just nodded his head a little and kept stroking her hair until he felt her breathing level out and her body relax, knowing that she was asleep he let the first of quite a few tears slide down his cheek. He was just as scared and worried as she was. He was just trying not to show it. He had to be strong for her.
