Chapter 11 - Moving on

For the rest of the day and part of the night jude spent her time to herself, after everything that went on that day including georgia finding out about lex, she wasn't in the mood to talk. She locked herself in tommy's room.

- Living room -

Georgia closed her phone.

"Tom, I have to leave tomorrow morning," She sighed. "Can I trust you to be alone with jude?" She asked tommy who was still sitting on the couch lazily. Could she? He wasn't sure. After what happened last time she stayed there with him he didn't know exactly what would happen..

"Georgia, I don't need a chaperone." He protested, she raised her eyebrow.

"We'll be fine." He tryed to convince georgia along with himself. She shook her head, smiling.

"So, I trust you will look into getting a lawyer for her?" She asked, walking towards the guest room.

"The best." He assured. She smiled, knowing she could trust him with that atleast and turned the corner to head to the guest room.

Tommy got up and grabbed a box off of the kitchen counter, it was red velvet and rectangle shaped. He sighed nervously and walked to his room. Ater tapping on the door lightly he opened it to find jude fast asleep on his bed with a notebook at her side and a pen in her hand. He smiled and stuffed the box in his back pocket, walking up to her. He sat down next to her and picked the notebook up carefully, without her waking.

He flipped it open and read what she had written so far.

"I feel so trapped

i'm alone in my exsistance

let me out, dont hold me in

i cant take it anymore

i'm a "child" so they say

one who posses so much pain..

look at me would you call this a child?

look at me would you call me a child?

Left in the dark

my only fear is you

I am imprisoned

I live my life as you want me to

release me from the chains

spare me the pain

just let me live my life

you cant do this forever

keepin' me locked up.."

It stopped there. Had she been writing all day? He looked at her and watched her angelic form. God she was so beautiful..

He groaned to himself a little too loudly. Jude started to switch positions and her hand hit his knee.

"Hmm." She opened one eye and after seeing tommy smiling back at her she opened the other.

"Hey.." She said tiredly, trying to smooth her hair down.

"How ya feelin'?" He asked, pushing the remaining hair from her eyes.

"Why did you tell her tommy?"

"She would have found out anyway." He said, closing her notebook and laying it beside her again. She watched him and nodded her head.

"Yeah, well, what are we going to do about it? I say we leave it alone..he tryed again and this time he got caught-"

"Leave it alone? you can't be serious!"

"I don't want to go against him in court, my word against his?"

"You have to jude, we can't let that guy go free! he could be doing that to other girls too! do you want that?"

"You know I don't"

He sighed and calmed himself before he started yelling.

"Don't worry, I'll be beside you the whole way." She looked up at him and bit her lip, nodding.

An awkward silence consumed the room.

"Well anyway, here..I never got the chance to give you this." He got up and revealed the red box. She smiled widely and held out her hand.

"Aww, tommy. You didn't have to!" She took the box and opened it excitedly. There was a few things in this box, one being a guitar pick. At first she was confused about it, picking it up. When she turned it there was a picture on the back of the pick, it wasn't any ordinary pick-design but it was an almost transparent picture of her and tommy together.

"Oh my god tommy!" She reached out and pulled him towards her. Hugging him tightly, she forgot about the rest of the items in the box. He pulled himself from her and pointed towards the box.

"Oh yeah." She blushed.

She looked in the box once more to find two slips of paper.

"Uh?" She looked up at him and he just smilled.

"Just read."

She lipped an 'o-k' and started reading, it was a coupon for a sweet at an inn by the beach, good for all weekend and luckily today was friday. She gasped.

"Oh my god!"

"You said that already." He mocked.

She squealed and threw her arms around tommy once more.

"Thankyou tommy" She let go of him and continued smiling.

"Now, there are two coupons in there so you can take whoever you want with you." She smiled wider.

"Oh, jude..not a good idea."

"Please tommy? I can't be around my family right now." She informed.

He considered this. He did want to go but..oh what the heck.

"Well, Georgia is leaving tomorrow morning so, I guess we could leave then? sorry, was going to give it to you yesterday so you would be there today but.."

"Yeah, don't worry about it it's fine." She pushed herself up from the bed and tommy immediately grabbed her waist, helping her.

"You got it?" He asked before taking his hand off of her.

"Yeah. It doesn't hurt as much." He let go of her and she put her pick and coupons back in the box and then stuffed them into one of her bags.

"Have a nice sleep?" He smirked at her messy hair, she noticed and put her hair back quickly into a halfpony tail.

"Stop it," She laughed.

"Where is georgia?" She continued, walking out of the room. Tommy followed.

"Asleep." He watched jude head towards his fridge. She poked her head in and then pulled out a water bottle and then made her way back to his couch, this was becoming a routine.

"I have to call my dad." She stated as she twisted the top off the water bottle off.

"Yeah." He took the seat next to her.

"You know hes not going to let me stay."

"Yeah.."

"I'm not going back to my mom and sadie, I won't."

"Well you could always move in with your dad."

"And live with yvette?"

"Well, sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do."

"No kidding, ugh dad doesn't even know what all has happened lately..hes going to kill lex."

"I'm not complaining."

Jude sat uncomfortably focusing her thoughts on how all of this was going to play out.

"Look, everything will work out okay. It always does."

"Right."

"You are always welcome here. Never forget that." He wanted to make that clear.

"Thanks." She smiled at him. Tommy felt a moment coming on and quickly pulled himself out of it.

"So, when are you going to call him?" Her eyes drifted away from his and settled on the floor.

"Sunday. I want to enjoy the rest of my weekend." Her eyes didn't leave the floor.

"Well, I guess i'm going to go to bed..tomorrow should be fun." She smiled and got up on her own and started walking towards his room. She turned around and said thanks once again and then went to sleep. Tommy did the same, with thoughts of jude invading his mind.
