Chapter 12

"Masey, can I go to work and see mommy?" Vie asked as she climbed in Mason's car Friday after school.

"Vie, your mommy said to come get you and take you home with me." Mason replied.

"Call her please." Vie whined.

"She said we can go down there for a while." Mason said after a few minutes.

"YAY! Is Speedy there?" Vie asked.

"I don't know. Where did you get that teddy bear?"

"Speedy and I made it yesterday when he picked me up from school."

"That was nice, what is its name?"

"Zoe, we named her together. He said that if he ever had a little girl he would name her Zoe since mommy stole his favorite name for me!" Vie said hugging her bear. Mason couldn't help but think are you really that stupid to believe Jude's story. Think about Jude's kids name for crying out loud.

"You really like him don't you?" Mason asked.

"I love Speedy, I want him to be my daddy. I don't care if I ever find my real daddy if I got Speedy. I think mommy loves him too. He stayed in mommy's room every night but the night he sang me to sleep after I woke up. He told me he loves mommy a lot." Vie said

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

"So, how is the little fighter?" Wally asked Jude as she passed SME in the lobby at G-Major.

"Better, her head still hurts." Jude said sitting on the side of the couch for a minute.

"So, why did the little girl push her?" Kyle asked.

"I don't know, I can't get it out of her. Speed, would you give it a shot? Mason, Sadie, Chaz, and Tommy can't either." Jude asked.

"Sure." Speed replied as he put his hand on Jude's knee.

"Ok, we have a question, are Mason and Chaz dating?" Wally asked.

"Have been for two years, they live together." Jude replied.

"Is Chaz the shake your ass in tight white pants Chaz?" Speed asked.

"Yes and if you dare say that to him he will severely injure you." Jude replied not laughing.

"Nice to know." Kyle said.

"MOMMY!" They heard someone shout.

"There is my princess." Jude said as she picked Vie up to hug her.

"Masey has a note from Mrs. Raymond to you. And guess what?" Vie said excitedly.

"What?" Jude asked pretending to be just as excited.

"In music today the teacher said that I was doing too good." Vie said kicking to get down.

"That is great." Jude replied.

"Looks like there will be another rock star born." Kyle said. "She will be just like her m…"

"Just like me! Her favorite guitarist around." Speed said butting in.

"Dude, she doesn't know Red's past." Wally whispered to Kyle as Speed made sure Jude stayed still.

"How is Zoe Bear?" Speed asked as Vie sat on his lap.

"GREAT!" Vie shouted as she hugged the bear.

"You got her that?" Jude asked. She saw the bear but never thought once about where it came from.

"We built it together." Vie said as she held the bear up to her mom.

"Hey sweets, how about we go get some ice cream and let mommy get to work?" Speed asked Vie.

"I have never seen Vie take to someone like that. It took her three months to even hug Chaz. One week and she loves him." Mason said once they were out of sight.

"Seriously, that bear he bought her has not left her sight. I had to take it from her when she took her bath because she was determined to take it with her."

"Well, she might just be one of the keys to keeping Speed in Toronto." Kyle said.

"Look at this way too, if you and Speed were to get married, Vie would instantly take to him as her dad. He would love to have Vie as his daughter. He hung up that picture of you three in the family room where he can look at it." Wally said.

"Hold up, Speed and me married? We are just friends. Second of all, what picture?" Jude asked extremely confused.

"We were just saying, I mean you two had a pretty emotionally heated homecoming and are going out on a date. I figured you two were dating and Speed has been in the best mood since before we can remember." Wally explained.

"The picture is the three of you laying in the snow together smiling. Vie decorated a frame for it and gave it to Speed." Kyle added.

"I didn't know she did that." Jude said looking at Mason.

"Don't look at me." Mason said.

"I got to go." Jude said as she got up. She was feeling uncomfortable.

"Dudes, she is scared of getting hurt again. She has never gotten over him, no matter how much she says she has." Mason said before leaving.

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

Meanwhile, Speed and Vie were in hospitality getting ice cream.

"How are your arm and leg and head?" Speed asked as he handed Vie her ice cream. She was sitting on the counter.

"My head hurts the worst." Vie said as she touched the bump.

"Aw, would a kiss make it better?" Speed asked.

Vie nodded her head yes and Speed kissed the side of her head. "All better?"

"Yup." Vie said taking a big bite of her ice cream.

"Will you tell me why you got into that fight please?" Speed asked as he leaned against the counter next to her.

Vie shook her head no.

"Please Vienna? I won't tell your mom if you don't want me to. Someone needs to know."

Vie just starred at him.

"Please Vienna? Your mom is so worried. If I knew I could tell her everything is ok. I promise not to tell unless you say I can."

Vie still just starred at him.

"I will tell you a secret in return. One that no one knows, not your mommy, or Kyle, or Wally."

"It was about mommy. I can't tell her because it would make her cry. I don't like it when she cries. Then if she started to cry because of what I said, Tommy would get mad and yell at me. Then mommy would lock herself in her room like she does when she has her bad days." Vie said as she stared at her feet.

"Tell me please." Speed said as he walked in front of her.

"Jamey and I were talking about you and mommy. Christy heard us and said her uncle knew mommy."

"Ok."

"Well, she said her uncle said mommy was an awful person and hurt people. She said her uncle also said mommy was an ugly whore. I don't know what whore means but I know it is bad just from how she said it. I said mommy wasn't any of those things. She then said no one would ever love my mommy and Tommy only used her for the benefits."

"Is there more?"

"I said that was a lie and Tommy loved both of us and lived with us because he wanted to. Then I said that you loved mommy a lot. She said her uncle said you were a giant idiot who knew nothing unless it involved a guitar, rollerblades, or banging a girl. I didn't understand the last part. She also said that you left eight years ago because you and mommy made a big mistake and you couldn't handle the responsibilities and you would be leaving soon because you only cared about yourself and making money and that you are not nearly as good as you think you are." Vie explained as she started crying.

"Why did she push you?"

"Because I told her she was a stupid whore and I smacked her." Vie cried.

"Vie, you don't know what a whore is right?" Speed asked trying to hold in his laughter. It shouldn't have been funny, but to Speed, a little girl calling another little girl a stupid whore made him laugh.

"No, I just know it was bad. She called mommy it."

"Vie, don't call anyone a whore until you are sixteen and know the meaning of it."

"Can't you tell me?" Vie asked in between sniffles.

"No, you are not old enough. Now did anything else happen?"

"She pushed me off the slide and then Mrs. Raymond came running with Jamey."

"Do you know her uncle's name?" Speed asked.

"Nathaniel, I don't know his last name." Vie said.

"I don't know him. Can I tell mommy?" Speed asked.

"No, she will cry then." Vie said as her crying became harder.

"Ok, ok, please stop crying. I don't like seeing pretty girls cry. I won't tell mommy." Speed said as he hugged Vie.

"Tell me your secret." Vie said as she wrapped her little arms around his neck so he could hold her.

"Ok, when your mommy and I were fifteen I really liked her. We did not get along, we use to always fight and I was not always nice. Well, I was too scared to tell her that I liked her and was even more scared that she wouldn't like me. So I became her secret admirer. For four months I sent her things. I sent flowers, candy, guitar picks, and some jewelry. Everything had a little poem with it and I always signed it love your secret admirer. No one knows that but you." Speed said.

"Why did you never tell?"

"I was going to tell her once, but then she started to date Jamie. I was scared she wouldn't like me back so I never said anything. Even after we dated I didn't tell her because I figured she wouldn't believe it was me. She once told me she got all that stuff and I wanted to say it was me, but I was not the nicest guy then. I never told Kyle and Wally because they would have made fun of me. Now you don't tell ok?"

"I won't Speedy." Vie said as she stopped crying.

"Ok, well I think I better get you back to Mason alright?"

"Ok, can you get me from school Monday?" Vie asked as Speed headed to find Mason.

"I suppose I can. Would you mind if I brought Kyle and Wally along?"

"Nope! I see Masey and Chazzy." Vie said as they walked to Jude's office.

"Yup, there they are. I will call you Sunday night ok?"

"Yup! Bye Speedy, I love you." Vie said before she gave him a kiss.

"Love you too sweets." Speed said as he put her down.

"Bye mommy! I love you too!" Vie said as she grabbed Mason and Chaz's hands.

Chaz and Mason left with Vienna. As Speed was walking out Jude stopped him.

"Did she tell you anything?" Jude asked worried.

"She told me, but I promised I wouldn't tell you." Speed replied.

"What? You have to tell me, she won't know."

"I promised her, hell, I even told her a secret just to be safe. One no one knows."

"She is a kid, she will tell."

"No she won't because she was serious about this. I am taking care of it. If I thought it was that bad, I would tell you. Just give me a couple days to work this out."

"I guess so, she must trust you more then me." Jude said a little disappointed.

"That is not it. I will tell you this, she is not telling you because she doesn't want you to be upset. When her mommy is upset she is upset."

"Alright."

"Yup, I will see you tomorrow at 4 right?"

"You got it." Jude said as Speed kissed her lightly on the lips.

Ok, so the secret wasn't that big, but cute right? And there was yet another clue in there. Well, review and tell me what you think :)
