Chapter Six
Only inches away from each others lips, they hear a knock on the door, Jude looks at Tommy with fear in her eyes, Jude takes hold of Tommy's hand, not wanting him to answer the door, they hear the knock again only a little louder, Jude quickly gets up from the couch and starts crying, looking at Tommy with pleading eyes, Tommy stands up, and takes Jude's hands in his own.
Tommy: Jude, it's not him, he doesn't even know where I live. He spoke softly, I'm gonna go answer the door, You go to my room ok? She nodded then ran up the stair and made her way to Tommy's room and locked herself in
Tommy shook his head and sighed, then made his way to the door, which by now the person on the other end began to pound, Tommy slowly opened the door to reveal a very worried looking Kwest.
Kwest: T man, I've been trying to call you, I called your cell and your home phone, why the hell didn't you answer? He asked out of breath, then made his way inside the house, and into the living room.
Tommy: I've been down here, I must have left both phones upstairs, he said, already knowing what Kwest was doing there.
Upstairs
Jude paced the room, she didn't know what was going on downstairs, and it was freaking her out, she couldn't just stay there and wait, she had to she what was going on, she made her way over to the door unlocked it, she slowly opened the door careful not to make noise, she tip-toed down the hall, making her way to the stairs.
Downstairs
Kwest: look man I don't know how to tell you this but...Jude...she's missing, he said waiting for Tommy to flip out.
Tommy tried his hardest to look concerned, he turned his head away from Kwest and sighed.
Tommy: wow, uh... when was the last time anyone saw her? He asked trying to make himself sound worried
Kwest looked at him puzzled, he knows how Tommy feels about Jude, so why wasn't Tommy going crazy right now, breaking something running out of the house headed for his car attempting to search for her.
Kwest: I thought you'd be a little more upset about this, come on Tom, Jude's been missing since ten this morning, he said, confused by Tommy's reaction.
Back to Jude
Still not being able to here anything from the top of the staircase, she slowly took one step down, and another, trying to be as quiet as possible.
Back to Tommy and Kwest
Tommy: I am concerned...who told you she was missing ? He asked curiously
Kwest: Sadie. She was at my place when her father called her hysterical, saying that Jude ran away. Tommy scoffed at the mention of that coward, Kwest once again looked at him puzzled.
Tommy: yea I bet he was hysterical, probably scared off is ass, that Jude might go to the police, he said, not intending for Kwest to hear him, but sure enough Kwest heard what he said.
Kwest: why would Jude go to the police? He asked, confusion evident in his voice.
Back to Jude
Jude, still not being able to hear a thing, takes another step down the stairs, then another, taking another step down she yelped in pain as she stepped on a small object,
Tommy and Kwest
Kwest and Tommy looked towards the stairs when they heard something, Kwest looked at Tommy with a knowing look, then started to make his way over to the stairs, Tommy quickly grabbed hold of his arm, trying to keep him from going any further.
Kwest: Tommy, look man I'm not stupid, Jude ran away, I come here to tell you, and the way your acting is like it's no big deal, so do you want to tell me who's here, Or should I just go check myself?, he said, already knowing who it was that made the noise, Tommy put his head down, and sighed letting go of Kwest's arm, Kwest took that as a sign, and continued his way to the stairs.
Back to Jude
she covered her mouth took keep her cries of pain unheard, taking a seat on one of the steps, she started to examine her foot, it was a little red, and hurt like hell, she looked around, trying to find what ever it was she stepped on, when she heard voices coming closer, just as she stood up to run back to Tommy's room, she heard someone call her, from the bottom of the stairs, she knew who it was, she sighed, then slowly turned around, and slowly walked down the stairs, with her head hung low, once she made it to the bottom, she stood face to face with Tommy and Kwest, then spoke.
Jude: hey Kwest, what are you doing here? She asked, already having an idea of why he was there.
Kwest: well, Sadie was at my place, and your dad called hysterical, he said you ran away, he said, confusion written all over his face.
Jude: yea, probably scared off his ass, that I might go to the police, not intending for Kwest to hear, but sure enough he heard
Kwest: will someone tell me why Jude would go to the police, and Jude what happened to your face, he said, just now noticing her black eye, and busted lip
Jude looked over to Tommy, then put her head down feeling embarrassed, she sighed, then walked away making her way to the livingroom, she called for Tommy and Kwest to follow
she made her way to the couch and sat down, Tommy took a seat next to her, and motioned for Kwest to take a seat on the leather recliner, he did as instructed.
Kwest: ok, now will one of you tell me what's going on? He said, pleading for an answer
Tommy: Jude, you don't have to, he whispered, only so she could hear, she looked at him.
Jude: Tommy, it's Kwest, it's ok, I trust him, she reassured
Jude: look Kwest, what I tell you stays here, ok? You can't tell anyone, she looked at him, with pleading eyes.
Kwest: ok Jude, just tell me already, me, Sadie, and your dad have been worried sick. He said, with a look of concern, Jude laughed a bit, he looked at her puzzled.
Jude: Kwest, my dad is the reason I left, my dad is the reason I...that I have these marks on my face, she said tears beginning to form in her eyes, she tried to fight them but they slowly spilled out, Tommy noticed, and took her in his arms, she cried quietly in his chest, as her tears soaked his shirt, he rocked her back and forth, trying to sooth her, Kwest just sat there confused, and shocked.
Kwest: Jude...your dad he... he did that to you? He asked, trying to take in what she told him, she lifted her head away from Tommy's chest, sniffled , and nodded, while wiping her tears away, Tommy grabbed her hand gently, then caressed it with his thumb, realization hitting Kwest, he quickly stood up from his seat, then spoke,
Kwest: Sadie is with your dad right, he said balling his fist.
Jude: Kwest, you don't have to worry about that, Sadie is dads little princess, he would never hurt her, she said, then laughed bitterly, and added, I was the lucky one who got beat by her father almost her whole life, she whispered.
Tommy once again took Jude in his arms, as Kwest tired to grasp the situation, he was beyond confused, he always thought of Mr. Harrison as a nice guy, hell he would sometimes go over to the Harrison home and watch football with the guy, he always seemed like a great father.
Kwest: look Jude, your have to go to the cops, he can't hit you and get away with hitting, DAMN IT JUDE!! Why didn't you say anything sooner? He yelled, not meaning to sound so harsh, but Jude was like his little sister, he loved her
Jude jumped at his tone, and began to cry, Tommy through Kwest a dirty look, as he held on to Jude, Kwest mentally kicked himself, he walked over to Jude, and knelt down in front of the couch, and took Jude's hand in his own, forcing her to look at him, she shifted a bit, then met his gaze.
Kwest: look Jude, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled, but you have to understand, you are like a little sister to me, I love you, and I'm just upset that you have been going through something like this, he paused for a minute, then he ask, did Sadie know about this, he asked, getting angry
Jude: no Kwest, noone knew, not Sadie, not mom, noone, she said, looking Kwest in the eye, he nodded
Kwest: your dad called the cops, they're going to be looking for you, he said, hating to be the barer of bad news, Jude quickly turned her gaze to Tommy, fear in her eyes.
Jude: Tommy, they're gonna make me go home, I can't Tommy, I can't be alone with him, it'll be worse this time, he's mad that I ran away, Tommy, please, I don't wanna go back, I wanna stay with you, she cried, holding on to Tommy for dear life.
Tommy: Kwest, I won't let her go back to that place, I don't give a shit about the cops she's staying with me, he said while rocking Jude back and forth.
Kwest: Tom, as much as I don't want her to go back, you know she can't stay here, do you know what would happen if the press got wind of this, or the police, T man, this is no joke, you could get in serious trouble, he spoke gentle but firm.
Jude quickly moved away from Tommy, then got up from the couch, Tommy looked at her puzzled.
Jude: Tommy, Kwest is right, you could into serious trouble, I won't let you sacrifice your career over me, and your freedom, if the police found out that I stayed here with you, you could go to jail, my dad would make up some story about you and me, I know I'll be 18 in 2 weeks, but I'm not yet and you could still get into trouble, so I'll just go back, I'll be fine for tow weeks, she said, trying her hardest to convince Tommy, Tommy quickly stood up.
Tommy: Jude, I don't give a damn about the police, your not going back to that house. He said, tears beginning to sting his eyes.
Jude: Tommy, I have to, she spoke softly then put her head down.
Kwest: Jude, you have to go to the police, and tell them what's going on, your dad will be arrested, then you'll be safe, he said
Jude: no Kwest, I can't go to the police, the press would find out, I don't want the world knowing that my dad beats me, she screamed.
Tommy: Jude, calm down, he said, reaching out and stroking her hair.
Kwest cell phone started to ring, he took it out of his pocket, and looked at the screen
Kwest: it's Sadie, what should I tell her?
Jude: Kwest, you can't tell her you found me at Tommy's, just say you found me walking down the street, and that your taking me home now, she spoke fast.
Tommy: Jude, your not going, he almost yelled
Kwest looked at both of them confused, as his phone kept ringing.
Jude: Tommy, I have to, it's the only way, I'll be fine I promise, she said trying to reassure him.
Tommy: Jude, NO!
Jude: YES Tommy! She spoke firmly, then snatched Kwest's phone out of his hand, and answered it
Jude: hello
Sadie: Jude? She asked, a little confused
Jude: yea Sades, it's me, I'm with Kwest he's driving me home now,
Sadie: oh thank goodness Jude, I thought...I thought you were...dead, she cried
Jude: I'm fine Sadie, I'll be home soon ok, she said, a little taking aback by Sadie's crying
Jude:umm Sades... were is dad, she asked, her voice trembling
Sadie: he drank so much he passed out, he was really worried about you Jude, she spoke softly
Jude: well uumm Sadie, I'll see you in a bit ok? Kwest's phone is losing service, bye, she hung up, not wanting to here about her father, she handed the phone back to Kwest, then looked at Tommy, he was sitting on the couch, fist balled, and leg bouncing up and down.
Jude: Kwest, can you go wait for me in the car, I just need to talk to Tommy for a sec, she asked, Kwest nodded, and showed himself out of the house, once Kwest was gone, Jude sighed making her way over to Tommy.
She sat down next to him, and grabbed both his hands, intertwining her finger with his.
Jude: Tommy, please look at me, he slowly shifted his head, now looking at her in the eyes, Tommy, you know I want to stay with you, but I can't...I wish I didn't have to go back to that place...but...I have to, I'll be fine ok? If anything happens I'll call you, she said as she began to cry,
Tommy: I don't want you to go, what if he hurts you again, he said, as tears rolled down his cheek,
Jude: Sadie said he passed out, so when I get there I'll go straight to my room, go to bed, then when I wake up I'll get dressed and go to G-Major, I'll avoid him, I've done it before, so don't worry, I'll be fine, she said, trying to make it sound good, for Tommy.
Tommy: how can I not worry?, he asked
Jude: try, please? She begged, he nodded
Jude: Tommy, I left my cell in your room, can you get it for me please?, he nodded, then got up from the couch and made his way upstairs to his room, a minute later he came walking slowly towards Jude, tears in his eyes, Jude stood up from the couch, grabbing Tommy's hand, and walked towards the door, once they reached the door, Tommy pulled Jude in for a hug, Jude reluctantly pulled away, she looked up at Tommy, they moved their faces closer, tears streaming down both their faces, their lips finally met, it wasn't a passionate kiss, it was more like a sad goodbye kiss, they both pulled away simultaneously, then both whispered I LOVE YOU.
Jude had been home for about ten minutes now, when she got home Sadie ran up to her and hugged her, and asked her about her black eye, and busted lip, she just told Sadie that she had gotten into a fight with someone she new, but didn't really want to talk about it, then Sadie asked why she ran away, Jude told her she'd explain
" everything" to her tomorrow, Sadie reluctantly dropped the subject, she could tell Jude had, had a rough day, Tommy had called Jude about five minutes ago, he kept asking if everything was ok, Jude told him she'd be ok today, she finally "convinced" him she would be ok.
Laying on her bed, she just started to doze off, when she felt someone, running a hand up and down her thigh, she jumped up, she saw her father sitting on her bed, it was dark in her room but she could make out his face, because of the moonlight shining through her window, she backed up against the headboard, her dad began slowly moving towards her, he reached out and stroked her face, tears began streaming down her face, he then slapped her hard across the face, she began to cry louder, he then covered her mouth with his hand.
Mr. H: now now, Jude, Sadie is in her room, wouldn't want her to here us now would we? She shook her head.
He moved his hand away from her mouth, and started to make his way down, caressing her breast then her stomach, then made his way to unbutton her jeans.
( Jude thinking): he's going to rape me again, he hasn't done it in over a year, why now?
Hey guys, you are all probably like WHAT!?!, Jude's dad rapes her?, this is the way I originally planned on writing this story, then I wasn't going to because I thought maybe noone would really like it if I did it like that, but I just had to write it this way, hopefully I won't lose any of my readers, anyway please review please?
