---Cherry Red---Chapter Two---

Jude pulled the seatbelt off of her and looked over at her friend. Brooke smiled back at her and gently placed a hand on her knee. "It's gonna be okay cherry. We all still love you."

Jude smiled and put her forehead against Brooke's, out of the corner of her eye she saw Brooke holding up something shiny. Jude turned her head and saw a pad lock on a thick chain dangling form her fingers. Jude smiled broadly and took it form her, clasping it around her neck while Brooke took her own and let the chain dangle from her pockets.

They both exited the car and looked around. Brooke shoved her hands into her dark blue jeans with her black blazer. Jude hitched her thumbs into the back pockets of her light, ripped, blue jeans and looked down nervously at her black shirt. It was a v-neck that dipped down pretty low and the shirt itself went all the way down to about where her hips were.

Jude looked around at her surroundings. In front of her was a long and tall wire gate. There was barbed wire on the tops and guards standing where the gate opened and closed. Jude directed her gaze in front of her and came face to face with people she hasn't seen in over five years. And she honestly never thought she's see them again, and they were all wearing identical chains.

Jude's eye met all of her friends, Brooke, Matt, Caleb, Tyler, Lucas, Reid, Nathan, Kris, Sasha, Kylee, Amber, and finally Sabrina. Jude nodded slightly at everyone and everyone just nodded back. Matt pushed himself off of his car and walked over to her, "Nice to have you back Cherry Red."

Jude smiled at him, Matt had always looked out for her like a brother and she loved him. He leaned down and pulled her into a hug which Jude gladly returned. They pulled away when they heard the gate start opening. Jude looked over at the rest of the group, all the guys had solemn faces and the girls were all wearing eager smiles. A tall, very muscular man walked through the gate holding a duffle bag on his right shoulder. He had brown hair but he also had a buzz cut so you could barely see it, he was wearing baggy jean shorts and gray boxers were seen around his hips. He was wearing a gray tee shirt where the sleeves had obviously been ripped off, and he had a baseball had that was backwards on his head. His eyes immediately met Jude's and he smiled. Before Jude could move, however, Sabrina was in front of him and wrapping her arms around his neck happily.

"John! I am so glad to see you again!"

John awkwardly put her down, "Yeah, I could tell from the way you came to visit me so much…" he said sarcastically and awkwardly. But then his smile grew again and he hugged the rest of the group again. "At least everyone else took care of me." When he finally got up to Jude he flicked one of her hairs. "Cherry Red. Not exactly a cherry anymore are you?"

Jude just smiled at him and gently tugged down her jeans to expose a tattoo on her lower hip of two cherries. "I'll always be cherry red, Johnny Boy." Jude smiled and leaned up to hug him. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her and breathed in her scent. She leaned toward his ear and whispered, "I'll always be your cherry red. God I missed you so much…" Jude buried her head into his collarbone again and he just smirked and kissed her neck tenderly. "I missed you too cherry." Jude smiled but also felt all eyes upon them so she gently pushed him away.

Jude smiled and gave him a slight nod before climbing back into Brooke's car and watched as everyone else got in their cars. Sabrina wrapped her arm around John's waist as she walked along side him but his eyes wandered over his shoulder and looked at her.

Jude opened her window and pulled herself out, perching herself on the door. "Hey guys! Follow me and Brooke! I got a place we can go!" Everyone honked their horns, agreeing. Jude gave Brooke directions to the rehearsal space and Brooke nodded, pulled away.

Jude looked out the window as they left and watch the sign disappearing behind her.

'Toronto National Jail' it said, Jude sighed and looked ahead of her, telling Brooke to turn right.
