Chapter 19 - My turn

"And didn't Miss Harrison walk in on you on top of her youngest daughter, shirtless and her jeans unbuttoned and below her waist? Can you explain that Mr. Mainer?"

That was it..lex had nothing to say in deffense, he didn't think victoria would crack and tell such a thing. What could he say to that? Things were about to go downhill from here.

"Um.."

"Yes or no Mr. Mainer."

"..yes.."

"I have no farther questions your honor."

After hearing this, the jury already had a few opinions of lex and some already had their mind set on either guilty or not guilty but, jude still had to make a statement. It wasn't over yet.

"Now, your honor, I would like to call Jude Harrison to the stand." Ms. Levine announced as everyones eyes floated and fell on jude. Jude cleared her throat and then walked to the stand.

After swearing by the bible the questioning began.

"Ms. Harrison, would you please explain to me what happened on March 21st?"

Jude fidgeted with her hands as she thought back. She nodded.

"I was at my studio alone..playing my guitar when tommy came by." She smiled at tommy.

"As in Thomas Quincy?" Ms. Levine asked.

"Yes."

Jude watched Mr. Mitchell scribble down a few things and then her eyes went towards lex accidently. He smirked at her.

"Ok, please continue." Ms. Levines voice brought her out of her trance.

"Well, we talked for a while and then he left. I was already having a bad day so..I turned on some music to get my mind off of things."

The prosecuter nodded for her to continue.

"Well, a few seconds later I heard footsteps so I looked over and seen..him in the doorway." She looked quickly at lex and then down at her hands that were starting to shake.

"He started to walk towards me saying something like...'Well well well, Miss Jude Harrison' So I said 'Yeah thats me'..after that he started talking about how I was out of G-major and.." Jude closed her eyes trying to remember everything.

Flashback

"So its true, you're out of the studio, huh?"

"Where did you hear that?"

"Doesnt matter, fact is its true."

"W-what do you want from me?"

"You know..I always did have a thing for young blondes."

"Dont do this"

"Oh but why not?"

"You'll enjoy this."

End Flashback

"I asked him where he heard that..and he said it didn't matter, all that mattered was that it was true." Jude squeezed her hands together, trying to releive herself from the painful memories but it wasn't helping.

"At this point," Her voice started to crack and liquid began to form in her eyes, "He had me pinned against the wall."

She wiped a stray tear from her cheek.

"I asked him what he wanted from me..and he said," She closed her eyes again. "He said he always had a thing for 'Young blondes'"

She opened her eyes and looked at tommy. She had never told him this..he had never asked what happened. Jude could tell this was killing him.

"He started kissing my neck and I begged him not to do it..but he continued and said, 'You'll enjoy this'and then he unbuttoned my shirt." She wiped some more tears from her face.

"After that all I remember is him turning the radio up loud and him pushing me to the floor..after that I passed out."

The room was silent.

"And after you woke up?"

Jude bit her lip.

"When I woke up everything was blurry and my head was throbbing. My shirt was laying next to me and my skirt was torn. I tried to get up but..I couldn't at first and when I touched my forehead there was nothing but blood." She winced at the thought.

"Once I got my shirt back on and everything was clear I remembered what had happened so I called tommy to come pick me up..he was the first person to come to mind."

"Why Mr. Quincy? why not your mother?" Ms. Levine asked.

"I was too ashamed." Sincerety shown through her voice. Victoria brought her hand to her eyes and cried silently.

"Tommy is always there for me..always has been so I guess it was just instinct to call him." Tommy hadn't smiled once during the trial. His thoughts were elsewhere and after hearing firsthand what had happened to jude, he didn't know how he felt. He knew he loved her more than anything and maybe this made him love her more, if it was possible for him to love her more than he already did.

"Thank you Miss Harrison." Jude nodded and was about to get up when Mr. Mitchell stood and walked towards her.

"Just a few questions, Miss Harrison." He smirked.

"Ok." Jude had an uncomfortable feeling around this guy as well as lex.
"Now, it says here that you went to a clinic a few weeks after the 'incident'?"

"Yes. I did..tommy convinced me to."

"It also says here that you were not pregnant, correct?"
"Well, they said that..but, I went to the hospital a few months later and found out that I had been pregnant."

"So, your assuming it was Mr. Mainers? there was no blood test to proove anything." He allowed the judge to see the paper he was reading from.

"No there was not, it was a miscarriage." She stated.

"Are you sure it wasn't Mr. Quincy's?" Jude clenched her jaw.

"Tommy and I have never been together, and besides, the doctor said I was three months pregnant."

You could see the sweat build on Mr. Mitchells brow and his jawline tense.

"No further questions your honor."

Court went on like this and sadie, tommy, and two different doctors were called to the stand, all in judes favor. Lex had barely any evidence to support his own statement. After a while the jury went into another room to make a decision and jude was finally able to talk to tommy.

"Hey girl, you did great." Tommy grabbed her hand and rubbed it lightly.

"Yeah jude..you couldn't have done any better." Stuart kissed her forehead.

"Thanks.." She spoke timidly.

"Look, we have this. Don't worry." Ms. Levine promised.

"K." Jude and Ms. Levine turned around to face the judge. Jude bounced her leg up and down impatiently watching the door, waiting for the jury to come out. Finally the door opened and the jury filed back to their seats, all except one.

"We've come to a decision your honor." The person handed a paper to the bailiff who took the paper to the judge. The judge read the paper silently and then closed it.

"Mr. Mainer.."

Mr. Mitchell and lex stood. Victoria and sadie held their breath.

"The jury has finds you.."

A/N - So? Did it suck? Please review:)
