The Power of Words

Chapter 3: Confessions

"This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up.
This is why you should see the glass as half empty.
So when the whole thing spills, you aren't as devastated"

Sadie Harrison walked into her house after dropping her little sister off at the studio. She looked around at the house and got ready to clean. First she put her hair up into a pony tail and headed for the kitchen. She spotted the dirty cereal bowl left on the table from Jude's last breakfast. She sighed and walked over to the table and picked it up and headed for the sink. "God, Jude couldn't you at least put your dirty dish in the sink." After putting the dish in the sink she brushed her hands off on her pants and looked to the right of her on the counter. She picked the empty cereal off the counter and headed for the garbage to throw it out. Once she reached the garbage she noticed the completely empty vodka bottle on top of all the garbage in the garbage can. She picked it out of the trash and threw out the cereal box. She noticed that this was just dranken last night considering it was on top of all the other trash. She started to fit the pieces together. "Dad was away so he couldn't of drank this, and well that leaves...Jude." She suddenly dropped the bottle and fell to the floor. 'How could I let this happen, I should of been here for her.' She silently beat herslef up for not being there with her when she should have. She finally got up from the floor and walked over to the phone knowing she had a phone call to make.

Jude was standing outside of the studio waiting for Jamie to pick her up. She didn't want Sadie to pick her up since she figured she was too busy cleaning and food shopping so she relyed on her best friend to pick her up. "Come on Jamie! It's 3:30, you should have been here by now!" After growing impatient Jude looked both ways and crossed the street to walk home.

Jude finally arrived at her house. She walked up the steps and into the house. When she was through the door she noticed how quiet it was and she couldn't see Sadie anywhere down stairs. She shrugged her shoulders and ran up the stairs into her room. She walked through her door and saw Sadie sitting on her bead clearly upset. Sadie looked up from the floor noticing Jude's sudden presence in the room. "Uh, hey. I'm late because Jamie was late picking me up so I just walked home." Jude explained thinking that was the reason Sadie was upset. When Jude recieved no reply from Sadie she began to talk again. "Uh, aren't you suppose to be at work, Sadie?" "No, I called out." Jude nodded and sat down on the bed next to Sadie. "Then what are you so upset about?" Jude asked curiously. Sadie turned to look at Jude straight in the eyes. She realized that it was time to face Jude. It was now or never. "I was uhh", she paused for a second and swallowed. "I was cleaning the house when I noticed something in the trash can. Just clear on top of the trash can." Jude nodded giving Sadie a weird look. "Yea, and...?" "Well, it was an empty vodka bottle and-" Sadie was cut off by Jude. "Shit!" She said aloud scolding herself when she finally realized what Sadie was talking about. Jude got up and was pacing the floor. Sadie also got up from the bed. "So it was yours!" Sadie screamed clearly knowing the answer. Jude looked at her like she was an idiot. "Well who else would it be Sadie! Dad's not here, your always out, so yea, it was me!" Jude now began to grow angry and frustrated. "And I don't know why your so upset about this, you don't care about me! I don't see how I affect your perfect life!" Jude finished. Sadie gave her a shocked expression and raised her voice at the volume of Jude's. "Jude you know I care about you! Everything you do affects me! No matter what it is! And I hate to see you beat yourself up and be deprssed over a guy who isn't even worth it!" Jude looked at her and tears began to spill from her eyes. "I can't believe you think the reason I am depressed like this is because of Tommy! You know I could be depressed about Mom and Dad's divorce!" Sadie sighed, she was so tired of Jude covering up her heartche over Tommy with the divorce of her parents. "Jude, both you and I know that you aren't like this because of Mom and Dad! After Tom left you just became this emotionless shell of depression that nobody can crack!" Jude knew Sadie was right, she just didn't want to admit it. "Do you think I want to be like this! Where people look at me with sympathy everywhere I go, or they try to cheer me up! It's either one or the other! I just wish he never would of left, then I wouldn't feel like this! If I would have never fell in love with him then I wouldn't miss him or feel this heartache!" Jude covered her mouth at what she just confessed. Sadie's mouth fell open and her face was covered with shcok. Of course she knew they had feelings for eachother but never did it cross her mind that her sister was in love with him. Jude fell to the floor and Sadie ran over to her and hugged her close and rocked her back and forth whispering sweet meaningless words in her ear. For the first time since Tommy left Jude was actually crying and letting her emotions out infront of other people. Sure she cried the night he left. But after that she just didn't cry infront of other people. Only at night when no one could see or hear her is when she cried. So for the next hour both sisters let their emotions out.

Best friends can see the hurt in your eyes when everyone else is fooled by the smile.
