"What the hell is this Jude!" Jamie demanded the next morning.

Jude was horrified, she was looking at pictures from the previous day, of her and Tommy in the alley. Tommy's arms were wrapped tightly around her, and her head was nestled in his shoulder.

"Are you cheating on me?"

"No! Jamie, it's nothing!"

"Bullshit," he said, grabbing her arms and bringing her close to his chest. "Don't lie to me Jude."

"Nothing happened!"

He let go of one of her arms and slapped her across her face. She let out small whimper which just angered him more. "You bitch! You've been cheating on me this whole time with Little Tommy Q!" he hit her again and threw her to the floor. "You're pathetic, ya know that? You're a pathetic slut!"

Tears flowed down her cheeks and stung the raw skin. "Jamie, I didn't do anything!"

"Yeah, because pictures lie? I don't think so Jude," he grabbed her hand pulled her up, and slapped her again. "Maybe I need to teach you a lesson huh?"

Two hours later, Jude was laying on the kitchen floor unconsious, her lip was bleeding, and her left eye was swollen shut. After Jamie had realized what he'd done, he left the apartment and flew to the states.

"Come on Jude, just answer the damn phone!" Tommy cursed.

"What are you doing?" Kwest asked.

"I told Jude to come to the studio today and she never came."
"Maybe she's just busy."

"I'm going over to the apartment. I'll call you and tell you what's up."

"Alright man."

Tommy exited G Major and sped off in his Viper toward's Jude's apartment. He knocked on the door, but there was no answer. He gently turned the doorknob and entered the apartment. "That's wierd," he thought. "They always have their door locked."

He walked into the living room and looked around. "Jude?" He recieved no answer, so he walked towards the bedroom, but caught a glimpse of a body lying on the floor in the kitchen. "Jude!" He rushed over to her lifeless body and gently turned her over. Her face was bloody and bruised, as well as the rest of her body. He quickly picked her up and took her into the living room, setting her gently on the couch.

He felt for a heartbeat and found a faint one, and she was still breathing. Rage ran through Tommy's veins. He couldn't believe Jamie could do this to Jude. He quickly called 911 and waited for the ambulance to come.

Tommy had lost track of time as he sat by Jude's bedside. She still hadn't woken up, but the doctor's told him, she was in stable condition.

"Hey," Kwest said.

"Hey."

"Wow, he really did a number on her didn't he?"

"Yeah, and when I get my hands on that asshole, he's dead," Tommy said, clenching his fists.

"Calm down Tommy. This isn't the place or time.

"I know. Where's Sadie?"

"She's calling Vic and Stuart."

"Oh, I didn't even think of that."

"Don't worry about it Tommy. Who knows if she'd even be alive if you hadn't gone over there when you did."

"Why would he do that Kwest?"

Kwest handed him a tabloid which had a picture of Tommy embracing Jude. "This is my fault," he choked out.

"Not even close man."

"He wouldn't have gone psycho if he hadn't seen this."

"Tommy, you saw what was going on, he would've done it sometime, this just triggered it a little sooner than later."

Tommy stood up and paced the room. "Now what is she supposed to do Kwest? Go back to him?"

"If she does, we can't exactly stop her Tommy. It's her choice. She can press charges and she can leave him, but will she?"

"I won't let her go back to him Kwest."

"As much as I wish it was, that's not your choice to make."
