This chapter might be, very, a little, or not confusing at all. When I was writing it seemed to get a little off track. So if it is...forgive me. Trust me, at the end it gets back to where I want it to be. Just read and you might see what I mean. Anyways, chapter 8.
Chapter 8: Revenge
She walks out of the house and drives back to her own. She walks in and finds a younggirl about 10 sleeping on the couch. She smiles as she puts her keys in her pocket and tries to wake her up. As the little girl stirs to get up Jude remembers that day so well. When this miracle in front of her was found out.
Back to the Past
Tommy came home early that day. He told Darius that he wasn't feeling very well and he needed to go to the doctors. Oddly, enough he let him have the rest of the day off. Tommy drove to the hospital to meet Dr. Luther.
Dr. Luther: So I want to get you started on the Chemo as fast as possible.
Tommy: Doctor, is there a chance that the Chemo won't work.
Dr. Luther looked at him and sighed deeply. 'Uh oh, that can't be good' Tommy thought.
Dr. Luther: Unfortunately, there's always a chance it won't work, and it has happened in more than one case. But there's more of a chance that it will. So no need to fret.
Tommy: Okay. I need to go somewhere, but may I get back to you on the date for Chemo?
Dr. Luther: Certainly.
Tommy: Thank you Dr. Luther.
Dr. Luther: You're welcome.
Jude and Spiederman were at her rehearsal space just jamming. They heard a knock on the door. Spiederman quickly got up to see who it was.
Spiederman: Tommy?
Tommy: Hi. Sadie said that Jude would be here.
Spiederman: Uh, yea.
Jude: Spiederman, babe, who is it?
Tommy picked looked at Spied when he heard the word babe.
Spiederman: It's Tommy, baby.
Tommy was totally confused at this. Why were the calling each other that? 'She wouldn't cheat on me, would she? No! Of course not, and even if she would, it wouldn't be with Vincent. They broke up. Didn't they?'
Jude: Tommy? Tell him to come in.
Tommy came in and saw Jude on her couch with her guitar smiling. Tommy didn't look to happy. He asked if he could have a minute alone with Jude and Spiederman left. Tommy sat on the couch next to Jude. Jude kissed him sweetly on the lips.
Jude: What's up Quincy?
Tommy: What was that whole "babe" thing you had going on?
Jude: Oh that? That's just our thing. It doesn't mean anything.
Tommy: Oh.
Jude: You do believe me don't you?
Tommy: Yea, it's not that.
Jude: Well, then what is it? What's wrong?
Tommy was trying to find the courage to tell her. Sadly, it was nowhere to be found.
Jude: Tommy?
Tommy: I just haven't been feeling well lately.
Jude: What is it? A cold or something?
He felt the top of his head for a second.
Tommy: No, but I'm taking some medication for it, so I should be ok.
Jude: Alright then. Then, I guess I'll see you later?
Tommy: Yea, later.
He got up from the couch and kissed her.
Jude: Love you, bye.
Tommy: Bye, love you too.
He walked out. Now Jude was left alone in her rehearsal space. That wasn't such a good thing because someone knocked on the door again and she thought it was Spiederman. So she told them to come in. She looked up to see who it was. It was Jake. She wasn't scared, yet.
Jude: Jake? What are doing here?
Jake: I told you that I would make you pay. I told you I'd be back, and you're not getting away this time.
Jude: Jake, I think you should leave.
Now she was getting scared.
Jake: I think I should choose that.
Jake came closer to the couch. Jude was about to get off but Jake pushed her down forcefully and started to kiss her. She tried to push him off but it didn't work. He was too strong. He started to take off her shirt.
Jude: Wha-no! Stop it! What are you doing?
Jake: If I can't have Sadie, I'll just have the next best thing.
Jude: No! Help someone!
Jake punched her with the ring he had on his knuckle. It left a gash on her face and the blood started to drip down. He forcefully took her jeans off.
Jude: Please, don't do this.
Jake: Shut up!
Jude continued to cry and tried to push him off but it was no use. He threw her jeans on the floor and started to take off her panties. While he did this she was able to squirm from under him. She was almost free but he grabbed her and threw on the floor.
Jake: I told you, you're not getting away.
His voice sent shivers through her body. The panties were discarded and he plunged inside of her. He wouldn't stop. He just kept going in deeper and deeper. She started to bleed and she cried out in pain. There was a knock on the door.
Spied: Hey, can I come in now?
Jake suddenly stopped.
Jude: Spiederman! Help me! Help!
Jake punched her again. He quickly got out of her and put on his pants as Spiederman came in. He saw what had happened. Jude was on the ground bleeding and Jake was zipping up his pants. Spiederman charged at him and started fighting him. Amazingly he won the fight and Jake was on the ground and knocked out. He took off his jacket and put it over Jude. She was crying and wouldn't stop and she held on to Spied with dear life. He took out his cell and called 911.
Meanwhile, Tommy was walking back to the rehearsal space. He was going to try to tell her again. When he arrived at the apartment complex he saw police cars surrounding it. He immediately ran to Jude's space. He saw Jake in handcuffs answering questions. 'What the hell happened here?' he thought as he tried to get pass the massive crowd of cops. That's when he saw Spiederman hold Jude as she cried. She was covered in a blanket that the paramedics gave her since the only thing that wasn't ripped was her jeans. He ran over to her.
Tommy: Jude!
He touched her shoulder and moved closer to Spied as she buried her face in his chest.
Spiederman: Dude, not now.
Tommy: What happened?
Spiederman: She was…raped.
Tommy's eyes went wide with concern and anger. He wanted to hold her but for some reason she wouldn't let him touch her and he wanted to know why. Just then a cop came.
Police: Excuse me, miss? I know you're not in the best a shape but may I talk to you alone so you may answers some questions?
She lifted her head up from Spiederman's chest and looked up at the officer. She looked at Spied.
Spiederman: Go on. It's okay.
Jude nodded and smiled at him and then followed the police officer outside of her space holding on to her blanket tightly. Tommy sat down next to Spiederman hoping to get some answers.
Tommy: Spied what's wrong? Why won't she let me touch her?
Spiederman: Don't worry, it's not just you. It took me a while to get her to let me help her up. I think she's just traumatized right now. Just give her sometime.
Tommy: But she can trust me. I'm her…best…friend.
Spiederman: Yea, I know. She'll come around once she gets more comfortable.
Tommy: She seemed pretty comfortable with you.
Spiederman: Don't be like that. I swear nothing's going on. I was just there at the time and I kind of saved her if you wanna call it that.
Tommy: I guess.
Jude came back and she still had fear in her eyes. She couldn't believe it happened to her. But now she owed Spiederman the world. He had saved her from him.
Spiederman: Do you need to go to court or anything?
Jude: I don't know. They said they'll call to tell me and I need to go back to the station next week.
Spiederman: You ok?
Jude: I'm fine thanks Spied. For everything.
Spiederman: No problem.
Jude: Tommy, can you drive me home, please.
Tommy: Sure thing.
Spiederman: Wait. Here.
He took off his shirt and jacket and gave it to her.
Spiederman: So you don't have to carry that blanket around with you.
Jude: Spied, thank you so much.
She turned to Tommy.
Jude: I'll be right back.
Tommy nodded and gave Spiederman a look. Actually, it was more like a death glare. Jude came out and gave Spiederman the biggest hug.
Jude: Thank you so much. I love you.
Tommy was taken aback. As long as it took her to say that to him how come it came so easily to Spiederman.
Tommy: I think we better go.
Jude: Bye Spied.
Spiederman: Bye.
The car ride home was silent. No one was at the Harrison household when they called so she went to Tommy's house. Tommy needed to talk to her.
Tommy: Jude I have to ask you something.
Jude: Um, okay.
Tommy: Do you love me?
Jude: What? What kind of question is that?
Tommy: Just answer me.
He had tears in his eyes he was trying so hard to keep from falling.
Jude: Tommy…
She was so shocked at the scene in front of her. When she couldn't answer Tommy thought it was because she didn't love him. But that wasn't true.
Tommy: Jude listen, I love you more than anything in this world. I care for you more than any other girl.
The tears were flowing down now.
Tommy: When I saw you in that state today I wanted to get Jake and kill him. I wanted to kill Vincent. Just the way he was holding you. I mean, you didn't even let me touch you.
Jude: Tommy, I was scared. I'm sorry. It's…
Tommy: Jude, why did you tell him you love him? Why did it come so easy for you to tell him and not me?
Jude: Tommy it wasn't…
Tommy: If you love him then go to him.
Jude: Tommy…
Tommy: Just go!
Jude: Tommy just shut up for one minute! Calm down and listen to yourself please! Do you have any idea what you just said?
Now she was crying.
Jude: I love you Tommy! Vin, he's my best friend. He's like my brother. When I said I love you to him it's not at all how I say it to you. I love him, but I'm in love with you. Don't you know the difference? What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?
Tommy: I'm sorry. It's just that I needed to know before…
Jude: Before what?
He went over to Jude and hugged her tightly, never letting go. He started to cry again.
Tommy: I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you.
Jude hugged him even tighter, if that was possible. She held him close. For the first time, Tommy was the helpless one. Tommy was the one that needed someone.
Jude: It's not your fault. Baby, it's not your fault. Never blame yourself.
There was a blinding light that made Jude open her eyes. She found herself laying on Tommy's lap on the couch and his arm wrapped around her waist. She looked up and smiled but was confused. Everything had happened so fast and was all clumped together. It was a like a story that went off track. Tommy was acting strange yesterday. 'More like bizarre,' she thought as she carefully released herself from his grasp. The phone rang and Jude hurried to pick it up so it wouldn't wake Tommy.
Jude: Hello.
Dr. Luther: Hello, this is Dr. Luther again. I was wondering if Mr. Quincy was there.
Jude: He's asleep, may I take a message.
Dr. Luther: Is this the sister-in-law?
Jude was a little bit confused.
Jude: Uh, no, this is the girlfriend.
Dr. Luther: Oh, well, please tell Mr. Quincy that his Chemo Therapy will start next week.
Jude: Yes, sir, I'll give him the message.
Dr. Luther: Thank you. Have a nice day.
Jude: You too.
She hung up the phone. So that's why Tommy was acting the way he was. He was dying. She remembered when her aunt had cancer. She was acting so weird and no one knew why. She felt like that she needed to make sure of everything before she left this earth. Tommy wanted to make sure that Jude loved him just incase. Tommy stirred on the couch and woke up to see Jude staring at him from the kitchen counter with a worried expression.
Tommy: Good morning beautiful.
Jude: How long have you known?
Tommy: That you were beautiful. Since I met you.
Jude: No, I mean, how long have you known about your illness.
Tommy: How'd you find out?
Jude: Dr. Luther just called. You're Chemo starts next week. Why didn't you tell me?
Tommy: He got up from the couch and went over to her and held her hands as she cried. He wiped her tears away.
Tommy: I was going to tell you yesterday. But I didn't want to put it on you after…
Tommy trailed off so Jude finished for him.
Jude: After my rape?
Tommy: Are you okay? This isn't really normal for anyone to be so comfortable.
Jude: I'm fine. I guess, it just hasn't really hit me yet. It's like, yesterday was a dream. It was so insane.
Tommy: Yea.
Jude: So, do you want me to go to Chemo with you, for support?
Tommy: Jude, I don't think I'm going to Chemo.
Jude: What?
She pulled her hands away. He knew she was going to be upset.
Jude: Why not?
Tommy: I believe there's a reason for everything.
Jude: What the hell does that have to do with anything?
Tommy: Do you believe in God?
Jude: I didn't even know you believed in God.
Tommy: Well, I do. I believe that God gave me this illness for a reason. Maybe, he needs me to be ill. Maybe, it's my time.
Jude: Tommy, just stop ok? If this God wanted you to be ill he wouldn't have created a semi-cure for it.
Tommy: You just have to understand.
Jude: I don't, why are you doing this to yourself? Why are you letting yourself die?
She started to cry harder and Tommy went around the counter and hugged her.
Jude: Please, Tommy, I love you. Please take the Chemo.
Tommy: Jude, look at me.
She looked up with tears glistening in her eyes.
Tommy: Do you trust me when I say it's the right thing to do? That I know what I'm doing?
Jude looked in his eyes. It was hard for her to admit but he was right. Something in his eyes told her that he was right.
Jude: I do.
The next couple of months flew by. Jude got use to the idea that Tommy wasn't going to Chemo and Jake was sent to jail. The doctors had to take a look at her but she refused to go. Sadie finally talked her into it and they had a check up that afternoon. After running some tests they came back in the room where Jude and Sadie waited for any results. But when they came back, Sadie and Jude were shocked at what he said.
Jude: I'm what?
I'm guessing you all know what she is right? This story is almost over. I figured out how I want to end it. So there's only a few more chapters left of this story. Thank you for everyone who reviewed, and I have to say this is the most reviews I've gotten for a story. Thank you again...I'm hoping to reach 50-55 so help me reach my goal and review.
