Chapter four

She tossed and turned, sweat dripping from her forehead on to the pillows, tears streaming down her face, her hands balled into a fist, no please I'm sorry please, she woke up screaming at the top of her lungs, she looked around panicking, not knowing where she was, Tommy was in the kitchen making coffee when he heard Jude scream he ran up the stairs, and ran to his room, he opened the door to see a very horrified looking Jude, he went up to the bed and sat down next to her, realization hitting her she flung her arms around Tommy, crying on his shoulder, her tears soaking his thin white t-shirt, he held her tightly, whispering in her ear, shhh shhhh Jude it's ok, your safe, you're here with me, I won't let anyone hurt you, ok girl? She pulled herself away from him, giving him a weak smile, he gently wiped away her tears.

Tommy: want some coffee, he asked giving her a sad smile.

Jude: that sounds good, right about now, he then got up from the bed, and held out his hand to her, she gratefully excepted his kind gesture, pulling her up from the bed, he embraced her in a loving hug, and kissed the top of her head, inhaling her sweet sent, hand in hand they made their way down to the kitchen, Tommy motioned for Jude to take a seat on the bar stool.

Jude: what time is it, she asked yawning

Tommy: uum...he looked at his watch, it's 9:45 pm, he said while grabbing two coffee mugs from his cabinet, and placing them right next to the coffee maker.

Jude: oh, she just sat there, feeling awkward and out of place, she then put her elbows on the counter in front of her seat, put her head in her hands, and sighed, Tommy walked over to her and placed a hand on the small of her back, she tensed up a bit, but then relaxed.

Tommy: you ok girl, he asked, knowing that was the dumbest thing he could ever ask

Jude: Tommy, my dad beats me, I had to call you for help... dragged you into My mess... and now I'm sitting here in YOUR house, do you think I'm ok? I feel like a total loser, I'm ashamed, but most of all I never wanted you to be brought into this, it's My problem, I don't want your pity, you know what? I can't be here right now, I'll just leave, she said as she got up from her chair, and began to walk away, but Tommy grabbed her arm, and spun her around.

Tommy: look at me Jude, she hesitantly looked up at him, haven't I always told you, that if you ever needed anything you could call me, she nodded, you didn't drag me into anything girl, I'm glad you called me, don't ever be ashamed, you have nothing to be ashamed for, and as for this being My house, that's not true Jude, this is your house too, your not going back to that place, I won't allow you to, he spoke firmly, his mind made up.

Jude looked at him like he lost his mind, she couldn't stay here, what would Darius say, what would Sadie say, well she didn't really care about Sadie's opinion, Sadie's just stuck in her own little world that revolves around her and Kwest, their mom was somewhere, who knows where? With her " fiancé ", but she couldn't stay with Tommy, he would get in trouble with Darius and Liam, so would she, and what if her dad found out, he would go to the police, and Tommy could get into serious trouble.

Jude: Tommy, I can't stay here, Darius and Liam would freak, and if my dad found out... Tommy he would definitely go to the police, and make up lies, and you could get into serious trouble, I can't let that happen, I won't.

Tommy: Jude, are you forgetting you'll be 18 in 2 weeks, after that you father can't do a damn thing, and as for Darius and Liam, I'll handle that, just don't worry, I'll take care of everything, he said while taking her hands in his

Jude: Tommy... I don't know if this is a good idea, she said tears forming in her eyes.

Tommy: Jude, will you just let me help you, I'd do anything for you GIRL anything, this is your HOME too, don't ever feel out of place here, don't ever feel like I'm pitying you, because to tell you the truth, it gets kind of lonely living in this big house all alone , now I have a roomy, he said that last part trying to lighting up the mood. She chuckled, and smiled, there's my smile, he said gently running his thumb over her bottom lip she blushed a little, and put her head down to hide her smile, this made Tommy laugh, she looked up and glared at him, this made him laugh harder, he put his hand over his mouth trying to stop himself.

Jude: ha ha ha, I'm glad you find me so amusing, she said sarcastically, then rolled her eyes, can I have my coffee now, she said trying to act mad, but Tommy saw right through her.

Tommy: sure Harrison, he said, trying not to laugh at her TRYING to act mad. He made his way over to the coffee pot, he poured Jude's coffee first, he knows how she gets if she doesn't get her coffee right away, he then proceeded to ad two spoons of sugar, and a dash of her favorite, hazelnut creamer, he handed her, her mug, she smiled gratefully at him, cupping the mug with both hands, she blew on the hot java before taking a long sip, loving the way it warmed her throat, she sighed in contentment, Tommy chuckled a bit at her reaction, she looked at him clueless.

Jude: what? She asked

Tommy: Girl, you need help for your coffee obsession, he said chuckling a bit

Jude: shut up, I need coffee, it calms me down, it helps me relax , and focus, if I didn't have my coffee fix, then I would not be the pleasant girl you know and love, she said smiling sweetly.

( Tommy thinking ): I do love you girl, in fact, I am so in-love with you, maybe when the time is right, I might actually tell you, but not now, not when your going through so much, damn it! How the hell could her own father do that to her? How long has this been going on? I have to know, I have to get her to open up and tell me everything, a part of me really doesn't want to hear details, but I have to know everything, Stuart, you are going to pay for what you did to my girl, you son of a bitch, I swear on Jude you will pay, Tommy snapped out of his thoughts by Jude waving a hand in his face.

Jude: wow Tommy, you completely spaced out there, what's going on in that head of yours? she immediately regretted that question when she saw the look in his eyes, she knew he wanted to know everything, sure she can trust him, but knowing how Tommy get's, she wasn't sure if she could get through five minutes of her story without Tommy completely going crazy, yeah she appreciated him being all over protective of her at times, but this was a different story, she saw that look in his eyes when they were at the park, and he just knew about that one time, but if she went into detail what her father does to her, and how long it's been going on guaranteed he would seriously loose it, and do something, and she couldn't live with herself if anything happened to him.

Tommy: Jude, I want you to tell me everything, don't leave anything out, I need to know, he pleaded with her.

Jude: Tommy, I... can't...I can't tell you, she whispered

Tommy: why not Jude, you know you can trust me, with anything girl, he said his eyes pleading with her

Jude: Tommy, no, I won't I can't, she said lowering her head.

Tommy: Jude can't keep it bottled up you have to let it out, talk about it...with me, he said while stroking her hair.

Jude: I said NO, DAMN IT TOMMY, I don't want to talk about this especially with you, she wasn't trying to be harsh, but what choice did she have. Tommy couldn't believe it, especially with you, what did that mean, he only wanted to help, his anger began to rise.

Tommy: What the Hell is that supposed to mean? Huh Jude? I'm here trying to help you, and you don't want to talk about it ESPECIALLY WITH ME, alright then you don't want to talk to me, whatever Jude, THEN DON'T, damn it! you are so fucking stubborn, he didn't mean to be that harsh but what Jude said really hurt.

Jude: FINE! Lets keep it that way, I don't feel like talking about anything with you, Damn you, why the hell are you getting so emotional just because I don't want to tell you the story of MY FUCKED UP LIFE, huh?

Tommy: BECAUSE! he yelled.

Jude: BECAUSE WHY? She yelled back.

Tommy: because I am so fucking IN-LOVE with YOU, I want to know everything about you, good or BAD, and I can't stand the fact that you've been going through something so bad, and you didn't even come to sooner, I want to protect you Always, I want to be the one you can depend on, the one you can tell your most deepest and darkest fears to, but you don't want to talk ESPECIALLY TO ME, he didn't mean to come right out and say all of that, but it just slipped out, there was no coming back from that one, well since I just basically poured my heart out just now, aren't you going to say anything.

Jude just stood there, her mouth agape, did Tom Quincy just say that?

Jude:...
