I know I haven't posted in forever, but I'm currently really busy with finals and 5 sports and LIFE! It's so insane and I feel really bad for not posting. I'm very very very sorry to say that this will be the only fan fiction I will be able to keep up with for right now, winter break is soon and I will surly add more to all of my other fan fics in time but for now...I'm sorry but this is the best I can do. For all of the readers still with me. Thank you.

She spun around, dropping the needle. It hit the cement with a crash. His eyes were dark, carrying shame. She knew she was going to break down and cry when she saw his lips curve into a frown.

Skinny had heard the needle crash and abruptly stood up, his pet already showing in his eyes, "You bitch!" He shouted, "That was pure!"

She turned back to face Skinny, realizing what she had done, she let out a surprised cry and looked up at Skinny, "Skin wait!" But he had already slapped her across her face and knocked her to the floor. He hurridley collected his things as he muttered what sounded to her like something about junkies and sluts before he walked away.

She groaned as she pulled her knees under her chin, her arm had fallen beneath her and was bruised. She clutched it to her chest and coughed back tears. The figure that had remained standing while she fell now kneeled beside her and gently stroked her hair. When she finally opened her eyes he looked deeply into them to discover that all the passion and hope was gone, they were now just bloodshot and dull...they almost looked...dead.

"Jude," he sighed, "How could you do this to yourself?" He wiped a strand of hair from her eyes and tucked it behind her ear, "How could you use?"

Jude shrugged his hand off her shoulder, "You think that after three years, three years you can just come back to town and act like some sort of superhero? Well you can't! You're worthless, just a cowardly jackass. Leave me alone."

He sighed, "Jude...you're going to get sick, or worse."

Jude stood up and started to walk away, but he grabbed her arm rather forcefully, "I hate you Tommy!" Jude yelled as he pulled her into a tight embrace. She began to sob into his jacket, finally realizing how much torture her pet had put her through, "I missed you..." She murmured.

Tommy raked his hands through her dirt filled hair and kissed her head, "It's okay, I'm right here...I'm not going anywhere."

Jude was driven back to Tommy's apartment. Tommy set up a spot for her on the couch before retreating to his own room for the night.

Jude tightened the blankets around her frail figure. It had been a long time since she had a warm place to sleep, for the past three months she had been sleeping in alley ways, shelters, and friend's apartments, but all those places were lacking heat and always contained at least a hundred other homeless druggies.

She couldn't believe she had let herself fall this far, in the car on the ride to her current location Tommy had claimed that they would be going to the clinic first thing in the morning, Jude was to thankful to oblige.

Tommy awoke to the sound of someone crying. He quickly lept out of his bed and took the stairs two at a time. He saw a blonde figure sitting upright on the couch, holding her shoulders, a cold sweat clearly visible on her shivering body.

She turned her head and saw Tommy at the foot of the stairs, she walked up to him and grabbed on of his arms with her trembling hand, "Tommy please...I just need one fix," she begged, "Just one and then I promise I'll stop okay? Just one Tommy...just one please!"

Tommy pulled Jude into his arms, her body shaking against his chest, he held her head in his hands and kissed her ear, "Jude you're going to be okay. We're going to get through this okay? I promise." He whispered.
