Jude wiped her eyes with the back of her hand "God I'm pathetic". Hunter offered her a tissue "No Tom is the one who is pathetic for screwing up his chance to be with a girl like you". Jude took the proffered tissue "What do you know about me? You've known me for all of fifteen hours, yeah you get to see RockStar Jude, doing her thing on stage but you don't know the real me".
Hunter smiled knowingly "You know how they say 'A picture says a thousand words' well a song says a lot more than that". They looked at each other for a moment, their eyes electrically connecting until Portia grabbed Jude's arm and yanked her to one side and Darius grabbed Hunter roughly by the shoulder "Outside now! We need to have a little talk" he whispered menacingly in Hunter's ear.
"Ow! Portia you're hurting me! Let go! What the hell is wrong with you?" Instead of letting go Portia tightened her grip on Jude's arm "Jude you have to listen to me! Stay away from Hunter!" Portia pleaded earnestly. Jude looked at her like she was barmy "Portia how many martinis have you had?". Portia practically screamed in frustration "Jude he's dangerous! If Tommy knew you were talking to him he'd flip!".
Jude's expression hardened "Right now Portia I could not give one damn about what Tommy would think and- …. Wait you said he's dangerous? What do you mean by 'dangerous'". Portia rolled her eyes "What does dangerous usually mean Jude! Look I can't go into details because it's up to Tommy to tell you himself but-" Jude cut Portia off, a wild-eyed look about her "Surprise surprise, Tommy has been keeping secrets from me, well I don't care what he or any of you has to say because it seems all of you have been lying to me and I hate you all for it!" Jude wrenched her arm from Portia's grasp and tore off towards the exit.
Portia tried to follow her but lost her in the large crowd congregating on the dance floor.
Outside Darius threw Hunter up against the nearest wall "Careful Darius you're giving off the impression that you aren't happy to see me?" Hunter smiled malignantly. "You deserve an Oscar for the performance you gave in there! But lets get one thing straight Hunter, you touch one single hair on her head and you will have a lot of angry people coming after you!" Darius grabbed him by the throat "Believe me, you don't want that mob on your tail!".
Hunter smiled spitefully again "With Tommy at the front of the queue?".
Darius tightened his hold on Hunter's throat "Whatever beef you got with Quincy, you take it out on Quincy not her!" .
"I am taking it out on Quincy, Darius, but I notice your desperate to protect Jude not Tommy, some wounds run too deep for the healing, eh Darius?" Hunter smirked. "Shut your mouth before I break it" warned Darius in a low voice. Hunter's evil smile grew even wider making his handsome face light up in a cruel malevolent glow "You know he never loved Portia, he was just using her just like he used all the oth-"
Hunter was cut short by Darius's fist sailing towards him and knocking him clean off his feet. Darius's triumph was short-lived when he heard an indignant cry behind him "D what the hell are you doing!". Hunter flashed Darius a small smile "Nice one" he mouthed as an incensed Jude came running up to them "Oh my God! Hunter are you okay?".
She bent down beside him and examined his swollen lower mouth, the blood trickling down his chin "I'm fine Jude honestly it's okay, it was entirely my fault-" Jude pulled Hunter to his feet "I know who's fault this is and it definitely isn't yours Hunter". Jude then turned to Darius, an absolutely livid expression on her face "D would you care to explain" she whispered in a small but deadly voice.
For the first time in the three years that he had known her Darius had never seen her look more angry, and he had seen her angry plenty of times "Look Jude, you don't know the half of what is going on right now". "All I see Darius is everybody slating the only person who is treating me halfway decent tonight, and I'm frigging pissed off with it!".
Jude turned to Hunter "I'm so sorry! I honestly do not know what is wrong with everyone tonight, they normally don't act like the dawn of the freaks". Hunter wiped the trail of blood on his chin " Jude I think I'm just gonna leave you peace, I've caused too much trouble tonight". Jude hugged him "Thanks so much for being here tonight, Maybe you could drop by G Major tomorrow".
Hunter nodded "Sure, I'll see you tomorrow then" and he walked away down the alley smiling to himself relishing in the knowledge that he was growing closer and closer to Jude, and in doing so was getting inches closer to bringing Tommy's world crashing down around him.
