Chapter 2: Bruises and Scars

Jude: What's up?

Stuart: Jude, honey, sit down. I need to tell you something.

Jude: What? What is it?

Stuart: Um, I really have no idea how to say this at all. There's no easy way really. Sadie, why don't you tell her the story?

Sadie looked at dad and then looked at me with tears falling down. She took a deep breath and started to tell her story.

Sadie: Um, Jude, I came home today because dad forgot to give me back the check I left for Kwest. He wasn't home so I started to look through his desk because I was in a hurry.

Jude: Okay, so?

Sadie: See, I kept looking and I found something in one of the drawers. It was papers with our names on it. I didn't know what it was at first so I started to flip through them.

She started to cry and I got extremely worried. What was so bad about a piece of paper with our names? Sadie couldn't go on. I looked at my dad with worried eyes. His head was hung in shame but I didn't know why.

Jude: Dad, what were the papers?

Stuart: Jude, the papers Sadie found, were adoption papers.

Jude: Adoption papers? Please, don't tell me that means what I think it means.

Stuart: Jude, you and Sadie are adopted.

Jude: What? How? How come you never told us?

Stuart: We didn't think it mattered.

Jude: Didn't think it mattered? So you're not my real dad and Sadie's not my real sister?

Stuart: No, you and Sadie are sisters; we adopted both of you together.

Sadie: How old were we?

Stuart: You had just turned 2 and Jude was just born.

Sadie shook her head and started to cry even harder now. I sat beside her and rubbed her back.

Jude: I can't believe you would do this dad. Oh, I'm sorry, Stuart.

Stuart: Listen, I'm sorry, but I still love you. You are still my daughters.

Jude: I'm going to pack my stuff. I'm moving in with Adam.

I grabbed Sadie and we left the house. She went to her house and Kwest was comforting her. As for me, I needed to go back to my da…Stuart to get my things. On my way there I called Adam and told him what was happening and why. He understood like I knew he would and by that night I was home with him.

Adam held me in his arms as I cried myself to sleep. Just when I thought everything was going so well again, it headed all downhill. I woke up to find that Adam wasn't beside me. I walked to the kitchen and he left a note saying that he had a meeting with Darius and Liam. My cell phone rang and I picked it up without looking at the caller ID.

Jude: Hello?

: Can't believe you actually picked up your phone.

It took me a while to figure the voice considering I was half asleep. But once I knew who it was my eyes went big.

Jude: Tommy?

Tommy: Hi.

Jude: What the hell are you doing calling me?

Tommy: I needed to talk to you. I still love you. I want to be "us" again.

Jude: Actually I'm pretty happy with Adam right now.

Tommy: Adam? Adam Branch, as in your producer?

Jude: Uh, yea. We've been dating for a while now. Sorry. Wait, scratch that, I'm not sorry.

Tommy: Jude, listen, you don't want to get involved with him. He's bad news.

Jude: Who do you think you are telling me who I can date? I think you're the one that was bad news. You're the one that cheated on me.

Tommy: I said I'm sorry, but he'll do much worse.

Jude: What do you know?

Tommy: I know plenty. Please just listen to me, Adam…

I hung up on him. I couldn't hear anymore of this bullshit he was feeding me. I went back to the bedroom and got dressed to go to the studio. I heard the phone ring again and I already knew it was Tommy. I ran back to the kitchen and picked up the phone ready to tell him off.

Jude: What Tommy?

Adam: Tommy?

Jude: Adam. Hey babe.

Uh-oh was all I was thinking. I hope he didn't think anything of it.

Adam: Why'd you think I was Tommy?

I could hear some anger in his voice that he was trying to control. I also heard that he was still in his car so he wasn't at the studio yet.

Jude: He called me about a minute ago, but I hung up on him.

Adam: He's still harassing you? That's it, he's dead!

Jude: Adam…

I heard a click. I grabbed my jacket and keys and ran out the door. I didn't want Adam and Tommy starting to get into a fight, especially at G-Major. I took a shortcut threw the park so I could get there before Adam. When I finally arrived Adam was just storming inside. I ran inside and grabbed his arm but he shook me off and kept walking to Studio 2 where Tommy was.

Jude: Adam, Adam, no. Listen to me!

He opened the door so hard that I swear the glass cracked. Tommy and Kwest turned to see Adam walking towards. Tommy got up quickly and started backing away.

Adam: You! How dare you even call her?

Tommy: What are you going to do, hit me? Then go ahead!

Adam: No problem!

Jude: Adam, please!

I ran right in the middle of them right when Adam raised his fist in there.

Jude: Adam, please, don't this.

Adam: Why are you protecting him?

Jude: It's not that, I just don't want you to do something you'll regret. Please, this isn't going to solve anything. I'll talk to him, just go back to Studio 1 and I'll meet you there.

I could see him calm down a bit and he gave me a light kiss making sure Tommy could see.

Adam: You stay away from her.

Tommy kept a stern and straight face as Adam walked out. I turned to face Tommy.

Tommy: Um, thanks.

My eyes were cold to him. He had to ruin everything.

Jude: Leave me alone. Don't call me, don't e-mail me, don't even think of me.

I turned away from him knowing I was breaking his heart, but he broke mine first. He had to know that I was over him. Adam had to know that I was over him. I had to know I was over him. I walked back in Studio 1 and saw Adam mixing one of my songs. I knew that's how he cooled off. I went over and draped my arms around his neck from behind.

Jude: It's taken care of.

Adam: Are you sure?

Jude: Yes, I'm sure. I appreciate what you were trying to do. I mean it was crazy and totally insane…

He laughed.

Jude: But it was sweet. Thank you.

Adam: Just promise one thing.

Jude: What's that?

Adam: Never talk to him again, or I you might not be able to stop next time.

I was a little surprised that he asked me that. But that shouldn't be too hard since I told Tommy to do the same with me. I nodded and we started to record again. Again, everything was going great. Tommy didn't talk to me once and Adam and I were celebrating our…um…6 month anniversary, I'm pretty sure.

Anyway, I was at the studio once again and was trying to get home as quickly as I could. I was about to walk out the door when someone called my name. I turned around and saw Tommy. I rolled my eyes and walked out. I went to my car but I heard footsteps running towards me.

Jude: I thought I told you not to talk to me anymore.

Tommy: I'm sorry Jude, but I just can't do that.

Jude: Don't you understand? I don't want you anymore. I don't need you anymore. We're over.

Tommy: I know, I know, but I can't just not have you in my life.

Jude: Wow, bad grammar. That's a way to win a woman's affection.

Tommy: I'm not trying to win your affection; I just want your friendship.

I scoffed.

Tommy: Please Jude, at least that.

I looked at him trying to figure out if this would have a downfall. I guess I wasn't really thinking then because I couldn't think of one. I nodded my head.

Jude: I guess, but strictly friends.

Tommy: That's all I'm asking.

He came over and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Little known to me someone was watching us from his car. When I finally made it home I saw a dinner for two set up with a silver candle burning right in the middle. I smiled looking to see where Adam was. I saw him walking out of the bedroom and my smile wiped away quickly when I saw his anger. He started to walk towards me and I backed up a little bit scared.

Jude: Adam, what's wrong?

Adam: You.

Jude: What did I do?

Adam: What was that little thing with Tommy at G-Major? Huh?

Jude: What are you talking about?

That's when I knew things were just going to get worse. He slapped me so hard across the face that my keys and jacket fell out of my hands. I started to cry as I looked at him in shock.

Adam: You promised that you weren't going to talk to him anymore. Then I see you kissing him!

Jude: I didn't kiss him!

He grabbed both of my wrists and started to twist. I closed my eyes because of the pain.

Adam: Don't you dare talk back to me! I know what I saw!

Jude: Adam, please, stop. You're hurting me.

Adam let go and threw me against the wall and walked back to the bedroom. I heard him lock the door. I slid to the floor crying and wondering how such a sweet guy could be so cruel. I was scared, more scared then I have ever been. But it was my fault. I promised him I wouldn't talk to him anymore and I broke it. He had every right to be mad.

The next day I woke up and found myself on the couch. I still remembered what happened last night. I saw Adam standing above me and I tensed up suddenly and became tremendously frighten. But his eyes were soft.

Adam: Good morning.

I didn't say anything. I looked away and wrapped myself in the comforter that was covering me.

Adam: Listen, I'm sorry about last night. I was totally overreacting. I didn't mean to, it's just that…when I saw you with Tommy I thought I was losing you. I couldn't stand not being with you. Also, you promised me that you wouldn't talk to him again.

He knelt down next to me and I finally had the courage to look at him. There were tears in both of our eyes.

Adam: You know I would never hurt you.

Jude: I know, and I'm sorry about Tommy. He said that he wanted to be friends. That he needed my friendship. I think I need his. Listen, you're not losing me. I love you.

That was the first time I ever said that to him. I wasn't sure if it was totally true, but it seemed like the right thing to say.

Adam: I love you too. But I don't think it's a good idea to be friends with him.

Jude: Don't you trust me?

Adam: It's not you; it's him I don't trust. Please, you have plenty of friends, you don't need him.

Again, he was asking me something that I never would believe, but he deserved it and his eyes were about to shed tears. I kissed him with passion on the lips and smiled.

Jude: Alright, I won't. You're right, all I need is you.

I was getting dressed to go to the studio and I saw the fingerprints on my wrists and my back was hurting really bad. I turned around and saw the big bruise on my back. I wore wristbands to hide the bruises. Adam drove me to the studio. Right when we walked in Tommy smiled at me and walked up to us. Adam quickly put his arm around me.

Tommy: Good morning Jude.

I didn't say anything. I just looked away.

Tommy: Jude?

Adam: Um, Jude, why don't you go to Studio 1 and I'll meet you there.

Jude: Adam, don't do anything.

Adam: I won't I promise. I just want to talk to Tom here for a minute.

He pushed me lightly on my back and I winced in pain. I could tell Tommy noticed but I just kept on walking. I watched the two men yell back and forth and prayed to God that Adam wouldn't hit him or vice versa. I'm not sure what they were saying but it seemed like Tommy had enough and just walked away. 'Good for him' I thought. From what I know and experienced, Adam could do a number on him. Adam came in.

Adam: It's all settled. He won't bother you anymore Jude.

I smiled but I wasn't too sure if I liked that too much.

Adam: Ready?

Jude: Ready.
