Chapter 7 - Darkness

Jude was seen running down the pavement of her driveway and into the street. The storm had no effect on her, not now. She didn't care, only kept running. She found herself out of breath after a while because of her crying and running so she slowed down and started to walk down the empty street. It seemed like she was the only one in the world at the moment, the road was abandoned and she could barely see anything in around her. She spotted G-major and jogged to the door and fortunately it wasn't locked. She didn't see any cars parked outside so she let herself in and was hoping for privacy. The studio was dark and she was content with the quietness.

Almost immediately she hugged her arms to her chest. It was freezing. She made her way into one of the empty studios and picked up an acoustic guitar, bringing it to the lobby with her.

She started to strum the guitar quietly and sing softly, still allowing the tears to stream down her cheeks.

"Hold me close, don't let me fall

You and I were never meant at all..

Take my hand just one last time

Tell me you need me in your life.."

She stopped playing for a second to wipe her eyes because her vision was getting blurry from her tears. No matter how many times she wiped them away, they kept coming back. She gave up and started the song again, this time she strummed the strings in a rougher way.

"Left alone, these tears I cry

Precious memories of you and I

I may be weak, I may be scarred

Your name's engraved in my heart,"

Jude continued to sing the song off of the top of her head but it remained flawless and full of emotion. A certain guy stood in the dark listening to her song. He stayed as quiet as possible and watched her pour her emotions out in her tears.

"Wishing for you is my biggest regret,

Never make a wish that you can't get

All along I've waited for this day

When I could look you straight in the eye and say..

Left alone these tears I cry..

Sacred pictures of you and I..

I may be weak, I may be scarred,

Here I die with a broken heart.."

Jude dropped her guitar and sobbed into her hands. She was soaked to the bone and Kwest could see her shivering.

"Jude?" He walked towards her with his coat in hand. Jude's head shot up.

"Kwest?" Her voice was almost completely gone, it only came out in squeaks.

"Here, take that thing off you're going to catch cold. Put this on." He handed her his jacket. She took it gratefully and took her own off, forgetting about her arms. Kwest watched and he grabbed her arm once her jacket was off.

"What is this?" He asked, he could only see the white rag around her wrist because of the darkness. His hand began to peel at the cloth.

"Oww, Kwest!" She pulled her arm away and his eyes dimmed.

"Why did you do that?" He asked, his tone dropped low.

Jude sniffed and looked away from Kwest but he grabbed her face and forced her towards him again.

"I don't know..it's everything." She explained, in between sobs.

"Everything being?" He asked, still not seeing the problem.

"My mom, Don, Sadie..Tommy." She looked at him and he nodded in understandment.

"Tom, huh?" He asked, finally getting it.

Jude pulled her face down, along with his hand. He finally let go of her cheek and put his arm around her shoulder, trying to warm her.

"I didn't know anyone was here..I thought the place was empty." She said.

Kwest smiled.

"I parked around back..I left your place earlier and I've been here ever since,"

Jude looked up at him, confused.

"My place?"

Kwest nodded.

"I didn't know you were there..I must have been asleep.. heh, when I woke up everyone was against me." She said, her sight becoming blurry again.

"Against you?"

Jude sighed and then sniffed again.

"They think I'm crazy.." She informed. Kwest gave her a weird look and tried to hold back his smile.

"I'm serious. They got me a shrink."

"Oh boy.." He rubbed her arm, trying to comfort her and his smile faded quickly, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

"I know," She wiped her eyes again.

"Jude no one in the world is worth you. Never hurt yourself over anyone," Jude looked up at Kwest and could tell he was Sincere with his words. She smiled.

"I don't want people worried about me but..the whole Sadie being pregnant thing still gets to me,"

Kwest nodded.

"I know, me too."

Jude gave him a look so he started to explain. After he explained everything that happened between him and Sadie, Jude sat in awe.

"You.."

"Yeah," He said.

"She.."

"Yep." He said once again.

"You two.."

"Yes Jude, we slept together. Not too long before Sadie's 'pregnancy'"

Jude's jaw dropped.

"I know," He stated.

"So you could be.." She started.

"The father." He finished her sentence. The lightning striked again and the rain fell down even harder. There was no way neither of the two were leaving G-major tonight. They fell asleep next to each other, and their now-revealed-secrets lingered the studio.
