Chapter 13

Jude was worried now that Tommy was here. This was going to be harder for her to do with him here. She figured since he was all the way in Canada that she would not have to worry about him but no he had to be here. How was she going to get what she needed to get done done with him there? She walked back to the room to get dress. She had to figure out what to do about Tommy.

Tommy sat in his room thinking about what could be going on and how did Sadie know she was here. He was going to have to ask her the next time he called her. But what the hell is going on between Mike and Jude. The look in her eye and the tone in his voice made it sound like there was something tying her down to Mike but what the hell was it.

There was a knock on his door. Who the hell is it? Darius could not possibly be here by now. He opened his door to see Jude standing there. He let her in and could tell she had something to say.

Jude: Tommy you need to leave now.
Tommy: Jude what the hell is going on?
Jude: Tommy I can't tell you. But you have to trust me and go back to Canada.
Tommy: I can't not without you. So why can't you just tell me what the hell is going on?
Jude: Tommy I just can't. I am sorry but I know what I am doing.
Tommy: You know what you're doing huh. So is sleeping with Mike part of your plan or getting high. I can tell you still do drugs.
Jude: Tommy please don't do this. I can't do what I have to do if I need to worry about you being here or for that fact mad at me.
Tommy: Jude I just don't understand this.
Jude: I am sorry but I just can't tell you right now. So please just leave.
Tommy: I cant I am sorry but I can't leave without you. I love you too damn much.
Jude: I am sorry to hear that. I have to go before Mike becomes suspicious. Bye Tommy.
Tommy: Jude don't do this.
Jude: I have to. Tommy just leave before you get killed.

She was out the door before Tommy could say anything else. What the hell is going on for Jude to be so mysterious and not want his help? He just could not figure out what the hell was going on and he was determined to figure it out. He just hopes nothing bad happened to Jude.

Jude entered her room to find Mike sitting there waiting for her. She knew this conversation that they were destined to have was not going to go well. Maybe he won't say anything and nothing will go wrong. Oh was she wrong.

Mike: So Jude where were you?
Jude: Out.
Mike: Out where?
Jude: I went to see a friend.
Mike: What friend?
Jude: Just a friend.
Jude knew Mike knew she went to see Tommy. She just hoped that he would go easy on her.
Mike: What friend Jude?
Jude: Mike I know you know so cut the crap.
As soon as those words left her mouth Jude regretted saying them. She knew she was in for it now. And she was right. Mike was standing in front of her with a look that scared the hell out of Jude. He grabbed her by her neck and pushed her into the nearest wall.

Mike: Jude don't test my patience. I don't want you seeing Tommy again you understand. You are mine and only mine. Do you understand?
Jude nodded her head to show him that she understood. He still had a hold on her neck when the door suddenly burst open. Tommy was coming threw the door but stop suddenly when he saw Mike's hand around Jude's neck.

Tommy: Mike I swear on everything I love that I will kill you.
Mike released Jude and was prepared to fight Tommy but Jude intercepted.
Jude: Tommy let it go.
Tommy: Jude I can't. He was strangling you.
Jude: Tommy if you love me then you will let this go. Let it go for me.
Tommy: Jude I don't understand.
Jude: It's not for you to understand. Tommy please don't do this.

Tommy did not understand any of this but he backed off. He could tell that what ever Jude was planning she would include him when it was time. Jude could see in Tommy's eyes that he understood. Tommy left the room. Jude slowly turned to face Mike. Now what was going to happen?

Mike: Do you still love him?
That question shocked Jude. Why was he asking? He never asked so she just assumed he did not care whether she was or wasn't.
Jude: Of course not. I love you now remember.
Mike: Yeah.
Mike walked to their bedroom. There was something off about him. He never was one for small talk. He always had to pick a fight about everything. She walked to the room to see him lying on the bed staring at the ceiling. She wondered what was going through his mind. Jude crawled on top of him.
Jude: I love you and only you.

With that she leaned down and kissed him. He returned the kiss. He started to take off her shirt while she did the same.

Tommy was in his room pacing trying to figure out what the hell was going on. He was so damn confused and it frustrated him to no end. What was she keeping from him? He was going to take this one step at a time and get to the bottom of things. First he needed to figure out how Sadie knew she was here. He pulled out his cell and called Sadie.

Sadie: Hello.
Tommy: Sadie how did you know Jude was in Hawaii?
Sadie: Umm well I got a phone call from someone who saw her there.
Tommy: Who was it?
Sadie: Well umm its was our dad.
Tommy: Stuart Harrison what the hell? Why is he here?
Sadie: I don't know.
Tommy: Ok I have to go.

He didn't wait for her response he just hung up the phone. Why the hell was Stuart Harrison at the same time as Jude? Does Jude know who he is? Are they working together? Or is he working with Mike? He had to find Stuart and find out for himself. Tommy went on a search to find Stuart Harrison. Tommy was in luck. He found him in the middle of the resort talking on his phone. Tommy waited until he was off and when he was he walked up to him.

Stuart: Can I help you?
Tommy: Yeah you can answer some of my questions.
Stuart: Why should I?
Tommy: Because I need to save Jude before she does something stupid or before Mike hurts her.
Stuart: How do you know Jude?
Tommy: She is my wife and the mother of my child.
Stuart: Wow she finally found love. I am glad. But if she is your wife why is she here with Mike?
Tommy: That's what I have been trying to figure out. What how do you know Mike?
Stuart: I had business to take care of with him.
Tommy: What part do you play in this?
Stuart: I don't have time right now but meet me at the restaurant here tomorrow at around 7 pm.

Tommy agreed and Stuart left to attend to business. Tommy was now even more confused then before. Was it everyone's mission to make him confused as hell? He went back to his room so he could think. He had so much to process and none of it made any sense.

Jude was trying to catch her breathe while Mike was doing the same. She always felt wrong but she had to get over it. This is what she had to do.
Mike: Jude marry me.
Did Jude just hear him right? Did he just ask her to marry him? What the hell was she suppose to say?
Jude: Umm Mike I am technically still married to Tommy.
Mike: Divorce him and then we will get married.
Jude: Umm ok sure.

Jude thought what the hell she got herself into.
Mike: Ok why don't you go tell Tommy the news?
Jude: Umm ok sure.
Jude got up and put some clothes on. She walked out the door and took a deep breathe. She was not looking forward to doing this. She braced herself for the worst.

Jude knocked on Tommy's door and waited for him to answer. When he did she just blurted out what she had to.
Jude: I need you to divorce me.
Tommy looked at her like she was crazy.
Tommy: What?
Jude: I need you to give me a divorce.
Tommy: Why?
Jude: I am getting married.
Tommy: Jude I am totally confused. Why?
Jude: Tommy please.
Tommy: No I need to know why.
Jude: This is my path. I must follow what's in my heart.
Tommy: Then you would be coming home with me.
Jude: Tommy don't ok just give me the divorce.
Tommy: I can't Jude I love you too damn much too just give it to you. I need to know what is going on here.
Jude: Tommy we are getting one.
Tommy: Don't do this to me.
Jude: I have to go now.

Jude looked at Tommy. He had tears coming down his cheek. She wanted nothing more than to run into his arms and tell him the real reason behind all of this but she could not. She started to walk back to her room. The image of Tommy crying stayed with her the whole time. What have I just done?

Tommy could not believe what just happened. Jude wants him to divorce her. What was going on? He felt like a broken recorder with that question. He looked up at the ceiling hoping the answers would be up there. He needed to get her back and get this over with before he completely looses her.
