Chapter 11

That night when Vie got home, her mom and Tommy were still fighting.

"Mommy, can you finish teaching me the song please." Vie asked after her homework was done.

"Did you do all your homework?" Jude asked.

"Yes mommy, can I please finish learning it now?" Vie asked again.

"Ok, grab the guitar and we will practice." Jude said as she put her work to the side.

Jude and Vie worked for two hours on the song. Vie had the lyrics down and could almost play it perfectly for her mom. She wanted to have it down by next Friday; that was the day she was going to play it for Speed. Jude wasn't sure why Vie was so persistent on learning it, but she was. They were going to work on it every night until that Friday. Tommy listened but never said much, he didn't approve of Jude teaching Vie how to play the guitar. That was why he never made time to teach Vie.

--------------------

Thursday afternoon, Speed was sitting in his apartment working on a song when he got a phone call.

"ViegothurtandIcan'tpickheruporgetaholdofanyone." The voice said in hysterics.

"Jude? Is that you?" Speed asked.

"Yes." Jude replied.

"Now what happened?" Speed asked.

"I don't know. The school called me and said Vienna was hurt and that someone needed to come get her."

"Ok."

"Tommy and I have an extremely crucial meeting in five minutes that we can't get out of. I can't get a hold of anyone either. I didn't know who else to call." Jude said crying even harder.

"Do you want me to go get her?" Speed asked.

"Please? I don't know what else to do."

"Ok, I am on my way."

"Thanks Speed, I will call the school and let them know." Jude said hanging up.

Speed grabbed his coat and hurried to the school. He started to wonder what could have happened only making it worse. Jude was obviously upset so something bad had to of happened right?

"Hi, I am here to get Vienna Harrison." Speed said nervously as he stood in the office at school.

"May I ask who you are?" The secretary asked.

"He is ok." Monica said walking around the corner.

"Alright Ms. Raymond." The secretary replied as she handed Speed a clipboard.

"Come with me Speed." Monica said as she led him down a hall.

"What happened? She didn't break anything did she? She didn't get into a fight did she?" Speed asked worriedly.

"She is fine. Her and another little girl got into and argument. The little girl called her a liar and Vie told her she knew nothing. Next thing anyone knew, the girl pushed Vie off the top of the slide. Vie hit her head and has a bump on it. Her arm is scrapped up as well." Monica explained.

"Oh god, I don't have to take her to the hospital or anything. That other girl better have been punished." Speed said angrily.

"I took care of it and she doesn't need to be taken to the hospital. Just tell Jude to watch the bump on her head." Monica said.

"Alright, where is she?" Speed asked.

"Vie, someone is here to get you." Monica said.

Vie shuffled around the corner dragging her book bag. She was still crying, but not as much. Her cheeks were all red and her eyes where puffy.

"Oh baby, come here." Speed said as he walked over and picked her up. He knew she had to be upset since she didn't run and jump in his arms. "Are you ok?"

"Ummmhmmm" Vie said as he buried her face between his neck and shoulder.

"You go home and rest up Vie. I will see you tomorrow." Monica said as Speed and Vie left.

"Ms. Raymond, was that Vincent Spiederman?" The secretary asked.

"Yea, it was." Monica said, as she got ready to go get her class from art.

"So, he is her dad?"

"To my knowledge, no, but that doesn't mean a thing." Monica said walking off.

--------------------

Speed was planning on taking Vie back to the apartment to rest when he had an idea to cheer her up.

"Pick anyone you want." Speed said as him and Vie stood in the Build-A-Bear Workshop.

"What one do you like?" Vie asked as she looked at the wide assortment of animals.

"I really like the simple teddy bear. Feel how soft it is." Speed said as he picked one up.

"I want this one then." Vie said taking it from his hands.

"Are you sure?" Speed asked and Vie nodded.

Vie and Speed went through the whole process of building her a teddy bear and buying it four outfits. Once the bear was done, they headed back to the apartment.

"Why don't you take a nap till mommy gets here?" Speed asked as he sat her stuff down.

"Ok." Vie replied yawning as she held onto her bear.

Speed took her into his room and tucked her into the bed. He gave her a kiss on the forehead before joining the guys in the family room. At 5pm, Jude showed up.

"Hey Jude." Wally said opening the door.

"Hey, is Speed and Vie here?" Jude asked. She looked worried.

"Speed is in the family room and Vie is asleep your guys' old room." Wally said as Jude walked in the apartment.

"Hey, let's go get her." Speed said as he came around the corner.

"How is she? I didn't get a lot of info." Jude asked as her and Speed stood in the doorway to his room. Kyle and Wally were around the corner unnoticed watching and listening to everything.

"She is ok, she has a nice size bump and several scratches. Probably some bruises. She would only show me her knee." Speed replied.

"Thank you so much. I don't know what would have happened if you weren't home. I really could not get a hold of anyone."

"No problem, if you ever need help with her in any way, call me."

"I will keep that in mind. She looks so sweet, I don't want to wake her up."

"Yea, she does."

"Well, it is now or never." Jude said as she stepped in.

"Wait." Speed said.

"What?"

"I was wondering…well tomorrow is Friday and all…if you wanted to go on another date with me?" Speed asked nervously.

"I would love to…" Jude was saying.

"Really?" Speed asked not letting Jude finish.

"But I am sort of going out to dinner with Tommy tomorrow night…" Jude replied feeling awful as Speed's expression changed from happiness to hurt.

"Oh, that is fine. Maybe another time; we should probably go wake Vie." Speed said walking away.

"Wait Speed, let me finish for once." Jude said.

"Fine." Speed said not really caring.

"But if you are not doing anything Saturday night I am free. Vie is staying with Jamey so I am pretty much on my own. I would love to go out then."

"Seriously?"

"Totally dude." Jude said laughing.

"What time is good for you?" Speed asked walking up to Jude.

"I work till 2pm, I would need 2 hours to get home and ready. So anytime after 4pm." Jude replied.

"How about I pick you up at 6pm then?"

"I was thinking more like you coming over at 4pm and then we could go wherever."

"That will always work." Speed said as he wrapped his arms around Jude's waist and kissed her.

--------------------

"Dude, do you think?" Wally said to Kyle.

"Looks like it." Kyle replied.

"Juderman might actually get back together, no shush they are stopping." Wally stated.

--------------------

"Well, I better get my daughter and go." Jude said once her and Speed separated.

"Yea, you better." Speed said after he kissed her again.

Jude woke Vie up and took her. Speed stood next to the window watching them leave.

"Dude, you got it bad." Kyle said walking up to him.

"I love her so much. If eight years did anything, it was to make me love her even more." Speed replied watching Jude start her car.

"Well, I hope everything works out." Kyle said as he walked away.

Now, if I were you, I would review because a secret might possibly be revealed next chapter :)
