Chapter 9: And the Conclusion Is……
I woke up with my legs tied down to chair legs and my hands tied behind my back. I looked around the room but, I couldn't see anything. I blinked my eyes rapidly fast and I could hear my heart beating faster than it did on the day that Tommy proposed and the day that I married him. It wasn't even beating this fast when I was alone with him or when I saw him when he first came back into my life.
I knew that this wasn't going to end well but, I had to try. I heard doors opening all around me but, I couldn't tell where I was. I had an excruciating headache from where my head hit the coffee table in Jamie's living room.
I know that Tommy is worried but, I also know that I made a mistake. I shouldn't have tried to run from Jamie at all after I hung up the phone. I should have just stayed there and played cool like I did for the last seven weeks.
I felt the baby kicking and I couldn't take the pain. It was all too much because of my stress and my situation. I needed Tommy right now to soothe my daughters kicking and flipping in my stomach. I seriously think that she is doing summersaults on my bladder.
"HELLO, IS SOMEONE THERE?" I yelled listening to my voice echo in the room. "JAMIE, SOMEONE HELP ME." I said and I saw a sliver of light appear in the room.
"Jude, what's wrong?" Jamie asked me. He came to my side and knelt by it.
"I want out of here you freak." I hissed at him.
"That's not happening. I want you and no one else, and nothing is getting in my way."
"You had your chance to years ago, and yet you cheated on me with Kat most of our marriage. So no, I don't love you." I spat at him. "I don't even want to be near you right now."
"Jude, I love you."
"I LOVE TOMMY NOT YOU." I yelled at Jamie.
"Well then, we are going to have to change that." Jamie said and he left the room.
I tried to move my legs off of the chair but, it's like they were glued. My hands wouldn't nudge at all either. Then I remembered I put my phone in my back pocket. I moved my hands to my back pocket slowly but, surely and I pulled out the phone.
I opened it and I pressed the talk button hopefully that was Tommy's number. I listened to it ring for a few seconds before I heard someone on the other end.
"Jude, hello?" Tommy asked me.
"Tommy it's me. Jamie has me held hostage. I had to maneuver my phone out of my pocket with tied hands, and believe me it's not fun."
"Do you have any idea where you are?"
"No, all I know is that I head doors closing and opening all around me and Jamie just left." I said quietly to him.
"All right, I'll see what I can do. Has he hurt you?"
"No but, he said he would try to change the way that I feel about you. Try to make me love him."
"Look, I'll do my best to find you. I love you."
"I love you too. How's Jessica doing?" I asked changing the subject.
"She has two broken ribs and a few cuts on her forehead, cheeks, and lips but, other than that she will be fine."
"I'm just glad that you found her. Oh yeah, on the door when Jamie opened it I saw something about the Chrome Cat. Tommy, I think I'm above the rehearsal space." I said to him. I can't believe that I didn't notice before.
"I'm looking there first. If your there I'll see you soon my sweet." Tommy said to me.
"I'll see you soon my love." I said and snapped the phone shut.
I just waited for what felt like forever and I didn't know how long it was going to take Tommy to get here but, it wasn't that far from my house at all. I was happy Jamie forgot one little detail that ruined his plan.
I waited for what felt like forever. I dozed off for a little bit but; I heard the room door open and I opened my eyes rapidly fast. It was Jamie and he didn't look really happy. He stopped right in front of me and I maneuvered my cell phone back into my pocket before he had a chance to see it.
"Jude, what's going on with you? Why did you pretend to love me again?" Jamie asked me. He seemed hurt about it. I wasn't going to fall for his puppy dog act again because he ruined it the last time.
"I did it for Jessica. She is like my daughter and I didn't want to see her hurt but, I'm guessing that you took care of that didn't you?" I hissed at him.
"You really love him don't you?" He asked me. His tone was actually sounding a little remorseful.
"Yes I do Andrews. You don't know a thing about love because you wouldn't know it if it came and bit you right in the ass. I'm carrying Tommy's child, I have loved him since the day that I met him." I spat at him.
"You're not leaving for a while so get used to your arrangements." He said to me. He started pacing the room and looking at me. "You know Jude, I wouldn't have had to do this if you hadn't have tried to run, and if Tommy, Mason and Chaz hadn't found her. I was going to let her go eventually. But, I was going to wait a while."
"I don't care about you Jamie. You used to be my best friend but, things changed and I changed. Jamie please let me go before you do something you'll regret." I pleaded with him but, he didn't buy it.
He came directly up to me and he slapped me across my face so hard I could feel blood forming on the top of my cheek. He hit me again when he knew that one didn't hurt me that much. I felt a sting on my cheek and then I saw light and I saw the door swing open.
