Family Potrait

Chapter 13: Someday Íll understand the mystery Tom Quincey

The next morning

Jude went into the kitchen and saw Joyce and John.

Joyce and John smiled.

"Morning Jude"

"Morning Joyce, John... um could you tell me where Tommy is.?"

"He is at the horses" mámere answered.

Jude nodded and left not without recognicing a black eye on Joycés face.

She went to the horse stable and found Tommy sitting on the ground with his guitar on his lap.

She smiled as he began to strum the guitar.

He saw her, he smiled and began to sing.

Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed
I hate dad for this things he did to you this night

You fight about money, bout me and my sister
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
scream

Daddy please stop yellin, I can't stand the sound

Make mama stop cryin, cuz I need her around
My mama she loves you, no matter what you do
its true
I know that you hurt her, but remember I love
you, too

I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have
no choice, no way
It ain't easy growin up in World War III
Never knowin what love could be, well I've seen
I don't want love to destroy me like it did my
family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't
scream

In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes
naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want to the hospital
I don't want a new mother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her
last name

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so
naturally

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that

Daddy don't scream
Daddy don't hit
Daddy don't scream
Turn around please
Remember that the night you hit my jaw, you took my
shining star?
Daddy don't scream
Daddy don't hit
Daddy don't scream

leave us here alone

Mom don't need you anymore

Jude looked at Tommy, she knew this song was about his family and she felt bad for him.

Tommy looked to the ground crying, he never wanted Jude to see him like this. He always anted to be strong in front of her, probably because he was afraid she wouldńt like him, if he wouldńt be strong.

Jude saw Tommýs crying figure on the ground and couldńt help but feel a few tears rolling down her cheek. She kneeled down beside him and lay a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Ssh, it́d okay, everything will be okay"

Actually she didńt believe everything was okay, she never saw him like this and this made her nervous.

Tommy buried his head in her chest and Jude wrapped her arms around him.

"Ím so sorry Jude... I... I never wanted to hurt you ... really"

"Ssh, Tommy it́s okay." She ran her hand up and down is back while the other was in his hair.

An hour later

Tommýs head was on her lap as he stared on the wall. Jude brushed his cheek and looked down at him. He stopped crying for the moment but it would start any minutes again.

Jude knew this were the aftermath of everthing that happened he never show his feelings and it was good it found a way out.

"Jude, I never wanted you to see this!"

"Why not?"

"Because I thought the only reason I mean something to you is because Ím always strong."

Jude couldńt believe what she heard.

"Tommy, that́s bullshit, I love you in every way possible and when you show feelings I know I mean something to you too, you know you are really a mystery."

Tommy laughed, and Jude smiled, it was good to see him smiling.

Suddenly his face turned serious again. Jude noticed this and stopped smiling.

"You love me?" Tommy asked nervous.

"More than anything"Jude answered truthfully.

Tommy couldńt believe what he heard. He turned around and brushed his lips on hers.

She quickly responded. He licked her lips begging for entrance, she opened her mouth.

He sat up and had his hand on her cheeks while hers rested on his chest. They broke away after a few minutes and stared at each other.

Sorry guys cliffhanger again, I know you hate me, Please review. I guess in the next chapters Jude will have her first time, what do you think should it be with Tommy? lol

P.S. I think yes but tell me what you want.
