Blueberry Blue
Jude was driving, tears streaming down her face, as she thought about what Sadie had told her. Tommy always talked about what he would do when he had kids. Jude knew he would make a great dad. She couldn't believe it; she was at fault for killing his first child.
She was a murderer.
Jude pulled into their apartment building's parking lot and ran up to their penthouse. She burst through the door, crying. Tommy, who was sitting in the kitchen with a cup of coffee waiting for her to come home, jumped up. He ran to her and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…" She kept whispering and Tommy just held her and kissed her head.
She eventually calmed down and stopped her convulsing sobs, but she did still have tears running down her cheeks.
Feeling her calm down slightly Tommy pulled heart arms length. "Jude, what happened? Are you alright?"
Jude shook her head 'no' and she fell into the sobs again. "I…need…to…end…it…" She said, still sobbing.
Tommy pulled away, "End what, Jude?" Jude just shook her head, she couldn't do it. She ran off to their bedroom. Tommy followed and saw her lying in bed, her legs pulled tight to her chest.
Tommy sighed and walked over to her, laying next to her he started to trace random patterns on her back, calming her down. "Jude, just promise me you're alright."
"I'll be okay, Tommy." She said, calmly.
Tommy gave a small smile, even though she couldn't see him. "I love you Jude."
Jude just started sobbing again, eventually drifting off to sleep. Tommy just sighed, realizing that she was slipping away and he needed to do something about it. With that thought, he too drifted off to sleep.
Jude woke up to her phone ringing. She quickly slipped out of bed, noticing that Tommy wasn't there, and picked it up. "Hello?"
"Cherry, good you're up…"
"Well now I am, at least."
John chuckled on the other end of the line, "Yeah, yeah. Listen, you remember that benefit that we started to plan for Reid?"
Jude nodded, even though John couldn't see her. "Yeah, what about it? We barely got anything planned…"
She could feel john smiling through the phone, "Well I got it all taken care of. You think you can play hostess at G-Major in like, three hours?"
Jude looked at the clock, she had slept all the way until noon?
"Sure, but what am I hosting exactly?"
She felt him smiling again. "I knew you'd ask that. It's like a party, music blasting, people dancing, light blinking. We're only playing Reid's favorite music, and on every wall a slideshow of Reid's life will be rolling. A different one on each wall. Plus, we're collecting fifty dollars a head for entry and we're also accepting donations. All the money we raise will go toward a scholarship that we're creating. Reid always wanted to go to college for literature. You should read some of the stuff he's written. So, we've decided to raise the money to let some other kid have their dream. Darius thinks it will be a great event for every year, so there's an annual scholarship."
Jude gasped, tears in her eyes. "John, that's amazing."
John just smirked. "I know. We were going to have an auction set up to but we couldn't put it together in time. But we are opening the door to fans. They're one hundred dollars for entry and we want all the famous artists of G-Major in tables in an empty room, they can get signatures there, pictures, CD's, the whole bit."
Jude smiled, "Awesome, Reid would've loved this."
John nodded, "Yeah, I know. So I was wondering if you could help me MC tonight, just handle the opening and the closing. The rest of the time I want you to party and be seated at your table."
Jude smiled, "No problem. I'm there."
John nodded, "Awesome. Tommy's here now. He's helping set the place up. We figured we could raise more money bringing in all the Boyz Attack fans."
Jude chuckled, "Yeah, I'm sure Tommy appreciated that."
John laughed, "Yeah, we had to talk him into it but when I fed him the spiel no one can say no."
Jude nodded, "I know the feeling. Alright let me go so I can get ready."
John smiled, "Sure, thanks for doing this Cherry. It's a good thing."
Jude just smiled, "It's the least I can do. You're the one that planned the whole thing."
"Which is why it's going to be the best party of the year. Bye Cherry."
"Bye John." Jude hung up the phone and ran into the bathroom to start the shower to get ready for later.
