"Wow Jude, that's some powerful stuff..."Kwest said sitting at the sound board in utter shock.
"Yea mommy, that was great"
I felt a warm tear slide down my cheek, leaving a warm trail of wetness on my cheek.
"Thanks you guys..." I said in a monotone.
"Jude, what's wrong?"
I walked out of the sound booth. Kwest pulled me into a tight hug. My tears poured out. Abby was terrified because by now I had broken down into sobs. She ran out of the studio and into the lobby where she ran into a man she wanted to talk to.
"Hey, YOU!" she yelled across the room at a tall slender man talking to another man.
"Me?" he said pointing at himself.
"yea" she continued "Are YOU the one im supposed to call daddy?" she said in a cold voice similar to Jude's. "
Yea, I am" Jamie said trying to act like he cared.
"Well" she replied "Your not my daddy, your to mean to mommy, Tommy is my daddy now" with that, she marched back towards the studio. Realizing she forgot to add something, she turned around, "Daddy's don't make Mommy's cry" she yelled across the hall.
Jamie stood there, pale as a ghost, he never really cared much for Abby, but what she just said killed him inside.
Abby waltzed back into the studio, proud of what she had just done.
"Abby baby, where'd you go?" I asked, not realizing she had left till then.
"I was mean to the big, ugly man!" She replied so proud of her self.
"Who is that?" Kwest asked confused.
"Jamie..." I said in an almost whisper. "Kwest, we need to go home, can I leave?"
"Go on, you've had a hard day."
Me and Abby walked out of the studio, seeing Jamie standing exactly where he had when Abby left.
"Jude, we need to talk..."
"Jamie, I think you've talked enough today" I said as we walked quickly past him.
as we walked by, our shoulders brushed. The rough skin hurt against my soft skin. As me and Abby got in the car, I could still feel the burn of his shoulder on mine. I drove off in pain as soon as Abby was securely placed in her seat. When we pulled up to the house, I pulled Abby out and walked into the house. Abby automatically ran to the kitchen.
"Mommy, im hungry" She whined
"What do you want?" I asked, not really caring.
"I want..." she thought. "I want CHEESE!" she replied, enthusiastically.
"Fine" I walked over to the fridge and pulled out a piece of cheese, opened it, and gave it to her.
"Now, you stay down her and eat your cheese and watch TV, mommy needs to make call."
