Chapter 8 - False accusations
Victoria's heart was beating like crazy, she got up and began to walk towards the doctor.
"Well first, the good news is..she's going to be okay." She sighed in relief.
"What's the bad news?" She questioned, hoping she wouldn't regret asking.
"She lost the baby." Victoria's eyes widened.
"Excuse me?" Her voice airy.
"The impact on her stomach was just too hard, i'm sorry." The doctor's voice was was full of sympathy.
"No, she wasn't pregnant..I don't think we're talking about the same girl, she's blonde, small framed, 17 years old." She was having too much of a hard time believing this.
"I'm sorry ma'am but, the test cleary shows that she was infact pregnant."
"But..." Victoria looked back at sadie and everyone else in the waiting room.
"When she hit her stomach it knocked the wind out of her so we are giving her oxygen just until she is okay to breathe on her own again, it's going to hurt her at first because she bruised her ribs a bit but nothing too serious, she has woken up so you can see her but only for a moment, she needs her rest." The doctor said, reading the girl's information off his papers.
"She has to stay over night?" Victoria was still trying to consume the fact that her youngest daughter was pregnant. She had a feeling of who it was but she was doing a pretty good job of hiding her anger.
"It would be for the best." The doctor said. Victoria nodded, tears running down her cheek.
"Wait, what about the blood?" Victoria asked.
"Oh, when she fell she bit her lip pretty hard. Thats all." He assured.
"Oh..what room?" She asked.
"115B..right through those doors." He pointed through the swinging doors that seperated the patients from the family members. She nodded.
"I'm sorry." He said once again and then walked away.
Victoria walked to the waiting room with accusing eyes directed towards a certain person, but, she stopped in front of sadie.
"Is she okay?" Lex asked, grabbing victoria's arm.
"She was pregnant.." Victoria's voice was filled with pain, she ignored lex.
"What? the clinic said-" She cut herself off, putting her hand over her mouth.
"Clinic? you knew!" Victoria raised her voice a bit.
"Mom, it's not like that." Sadie said, looking down at her hands.
"Was? what do you mean was? is she okay?" Tommy asked, walking over from the other side of the room.
Victoria looked at him with sharp eyes. She walked slowly in his direction.
"Tom, you did this didn't you!" She angrily hissed.
"What?" Tommy couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I knew I shouldn't have let jude work with you, you always had a thing for her! Especially after the tabloids..the picture of you with her at the peir.. and now this! How could you? she's only 17! this won't be the last you hear about it! So help me god, you will be in prison if it's the last thing I do!"
Tommy was outraged, he didn't know what to say to that, all he could do was shake his head with his mouth agape. His eyes floated over to lex who was enjoying the show. Tommy walked over to him and without anyone expecting it, he punched him in the face and lex fell to the ground. Sadie and victoria knelt down to his side and started to comfort him. Tom seen the receptionist at the front desk grab the phone and dial a number, he figured she was calling the police so he turned and walked out of the hospital, kwest and georgia followed.
"Tom!" Kwest shouted, picking up the pace, trying to catch up with his friend, georgia right behind him. Tommy didn't answer, he couldn't answer, he just kept walking. He stopped at his viper and got in but before he could pull out of the parking garage kwest and georgia stopped him by opening the passenger door.
"Tom, calm down." Kwest said.
"Calm down? CALM DOWN? They think I got jude pregnant!" Tommy said, his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"Did you?" Kwest asked, stupidly. Tommy gave him a look.
"I never had sex with her!" He spat.
"Tom calm yourself down and turn off the car!" Georgia yelled. He was still shaking as he turned the key backwards.
"I would never do that, she is only 17. I'm not stupid and like I said before I'm not that guy!" He had already convinced the two, not that he had to..they knew he wasn't stupid enough to do something like that.
"What do you have against lex? why did you punch him?" Kwest asked, sitting next to tommy. Tommy tensed even more. That jerk was still inside the hospital, he didn't mean to lose it and punch him but he was getting away with what he done to jude and tommy couldn't do anything about it.
"Tom, what did he do?" Georgia asked, she was still standing outside of the car, leaning down and looking in.
Tommy didn't want to break jude's promise but he couldn't do it anymore, he couldn't keep this burden inside.
"He raped her." His eyes were burning, he felt as though he was about to cry but he held the emotions back as best as he could.
Georgia gasped and kwest then realized how tommy felt, he felt like jude's brother and he couldn't stand the fact that that had happened to her either.
"Why didn't you say anything before?" Kwest also tensed.
"She told me not to." He groaned, the image of her after it had happened popped into his head and he felt miserable. He was helpless, victoria wasn't going to believe him, sadie might but, what good would that do?
"Tom, don't worry. We will settle this." Georgia said, her voice was flat. She loved jude like she was her own and this guy was not going to get away with this.
---------------------------------------
Victoria and sadie walked down the long, cold, corridor to jude's room. Lex stayed in the waiting room with Jamie, kat, and sme who all felt uncomfortable around the guy.
When the mother and daughter reached the room jude was sleeping so they just sat there staring. She had an oxygen tube in her and her lips were red from the blood stain.
"Mom.." Sadie started, watching her mom cry.
"Yeah?" Victoria's voice was very timid, she sniffed the air.
"I don't think tommy did it." Sadie said honestly, she wasn't going to tell her about jude being raped but, she didn't want tommy to be blamed for something he didn't do.
"Saide." Victoria's eyes fell on jude whose eyes just opened. Victoria walked up to her daughter and grabbed her hand.
"Hey hun."
"What happen?" Jude asked, noticing she wasn't in her own bed.
"Where is everyone?" She continued.
"You're at the hospital." Victoria started.
Jude watched sadie who was giving her a sympathetic look. She then walked over and explained what exactly had happened earlier that night. Jude didn't understand why she was at the hospital, all she did was fall..no biggie, right?
"Sadie, go tell someone else they can come in." Sadie nodded, hugged jude and then walked out.
"Jude..." Victoria started, jude sensed anger in her mother's voice and was a little scared to answer.
"Yeah?" She finally got the nerve. Victoria took a mintue to gather her feelings about the situation.
"The doctor said you lost the baby, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" She asked.
"What?" Jude looked down at her stomach, brining her hands to it. Victoria stood there for a minute before speaking again.
"It was tommy's wasn't it?" Jude's head shot up and her face was red, she was about to cry.
"What? Mom-"
"Jude, dont make excuses for him. He did it, I know he did."
"No mom, it wasn't tommy! he wouldn't do something like that!" She instantly regreted saying that.
"Something like what? have sex with you? I hardly believe that." Her mom spat.
"It wasn't tommy!" Jude was getting frustrated and she couldn't hold the secret much longer.
"Then who jude? WHO?" Her mom asked.
"IT WAS YOUR BOYFRIEND!" She started crying hysterically. Victorias tears were now gone and anger was the only thing left, she dropped judes hand.
"Now, I know your father and my divorce upset you but that doesn't mean you need to go and blame innocent people for something they didn't do! Don't cover tommy up, I know it was him."
"No mom, you DON'T know! You're too wrapped up in your personal life to know what goes on with my life! I'm not some slut!"
"Don't say lex did this to you, don't hurt me just to cover up the fact that you are having sex with your producer!"
Jude had heard enough and couldn't take much more. Her mom thought that low of her?
"Tommy didn't do it mom." She used her last bit of strength to strain those words out. Her voice was raw from yelling and trying to convince. Victoria looked away from her daughter in disbelief.
"I'll be here tomorrow to pick you up." With that she left. Jude sobbed to herself. She was pregnant? She could've had a baby? In a way she was relieved that she wasn't going to have the baby but then again in another way she felt bad for losing it, I guess it was just common to feel that way. Kat walked in.
"Jude, are you okay?" Kat ran up to her friend and grabbed her hands, they were shaking.
"Kat, where is tommy?" Jude's voice was scratchy and her tears drownded out most of the sentence. All kat could here was 'Tommy'
"Um, he punched lex after... your mom accused him of... having sex with you." She said slowly. Jude looked at kat.
"He didn't do it kat, he wouldn't." She said, kat nodded. Kat knew how tom felt about her, he wouldn't ruin it by doing something so stupid.
"I love him." Jude's voice was almost officially gone now so kat just nodded again and then smiled.
"I know..It's alright, everything will be okay." She assured, she kissed her friends hand and then let go of her.
"We'll talk tomorrow." She finished, walking out the hospital door. Jude almost immediately fell asleep.
Kat walked back into the waiting room. Victoria and lex were outside with the police who had finally came. Lex didn't press charges, he didn't want more attention drawn to his awkward situation and victoria decided to get into the whole tommy/jude thing later once she knew more. The two then left together.
"I want to see her." Jamie said, getting up and walking towards kat. Sme followed.
"She needs sleep, she has been through alot." Jamie sighed and agreed.
The 5 of them left the hospital.
