Chapter 26

It was now ten days before Vienna's eighth birthday. She and Jamey were at the house alone for a little while. They were looking for things to decorate with. Vie wanted to look in the attic for stuff.

"I thought we weren't allowed up here." Jamey said.

"We aren't but no one his home and won't be for a couple hours." Vie said as she opened the door.

Her and Jamey walked around looked through stuff. Vie found a box of things that belonged to her mom. It was all her old journals and pictures from high school.

"Look at this box, it is Tommy's." Jamey said as he pulled out a huge box that had Tom's- Do Not Open wrote on it.

"Let's look inside." Vie replied.

Vie and Jamey carefully opened the box. It was filled with letters and small packages. They noticed that all were addressed to Jude and the return address was Speed. They had all been open and taped shut then. Jamey and Vie started to open random letters and read them. She then found a folder labeled copies and notices.

Vie opened the folder to see five copies of letters that Tommy had wrote to Speed from Jude. They were all hateful letters and had been stamped with "return to sender." So Speed never saw them. She then found a piece of paper that had cell phone numbers on it. It had real numbers on one column and made up on the other. She also found letters that Tommy wrote from Speed to Jude. Lastly they found a fake magazine article that read, "Vin Spiederman Dates Eden Taylor." There was also another envelope. Jamey and Vie opened it to find all the letters that Jude had wrote Speed, apparently Tommy read them but never mailed them.

After an hour, Vie started to put the pieces together and so did Jamey. Tommy was the reason Jude and Speed never communicated over the last eight years.

Vie ran downstairs and called Speed. "Daddy, you need to get here fast. It is an emergency."

Speed rushed over not knowing what to expect. When he got there Vie took off running to him crying. She took him inside and Jamey showed him the folder. Vie then had Jamey help her drag the box downstairs. Once Speed saw what the box contained, he was over whelmed with anger. He was so furious Vie could see tears coming out of his eyes.

A couple hours later, Tommy and Jude came home to see Vie sitting on the couch with Jamey and Speed.

"Hey guys, what is going on?" Jude asked in a cheerful tone.

No one answered.

"What has gotten into you Vin, you always have an answer." Tommy said jokingly.

"You…you ass hole. We know your dirty little secret." Speed said trying to control his anger.

"Secret, I have no secrets." Tommy said. Oh god, he knows about Kwest's sister or that model Mia or I have paid Tasha over two hundred dollars this winter to lie for me.

"Hell you don't." Speed said as he held up a couple letters.

"What are those?" Jude asked.

"Just a few letters I wrote you that Tommy never gave to you." Speed said glaring at Tommy.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Tommy said nervously.

"Shut the hell up Little Tommy Q." Speed shouted.

"Where did they come from then?" Jude asked thinking that maybe Speed was lying.

"I found them mommy. They were in the attic in a box that was hidden. We were looking for stuff for my birthday party when we found them." Vie explained.

"I told you not to go in there Vienna Elizabeth." Tommy shouted.

"Tommy, say they are lying to me." Jude said with tears coming in her eyes.

"Oh, he also had a phony article printed up that I was dating Eden I guess. He also never mailed any of your letters and I found his paper on fake numbers for us." Speed said as he slowly got closer to Tommy.

"Tommy?" Jude asked.

"Jude, I am sorry. I can expl…" Tommy was saying until Speed punched him.

"Speed!" Jude shouted.

"Jude I did it for you. He left you, you deserved so much better. I love you." Tommy said.

"Tommy, I can't believe you…I love you too…but…" Jude was saying as she cried harder.

"God damn it Harrison, save it. I have heard enough. I don't get you, he hurts you constantly. He isn't faithful…he has been banging Kwest sister lately…but you don't care. I am through with you…oh and by the way our daughter knows who you are…Jude Harrison, Instant Star and psychotic bitch." Speed yelled before he stormed out of the house and punched Tommy one more time.

"Jude…" Tommy was saying until Jude slapped him.

"Save it Quincy…get the hell out of my house…we are through." Jude yelled then she ran off.

"Great, I hope you are happy Vienna. You just ruined everything." Tommy said before he went upstairs to start packing.

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

That night, Jude went downstairs and looked though the box. Speed was right, Tommy never sent her letters. She started searching through the box for any packages. The first one she found was a long box. She opened the box to find a diamond bracelet in the shapes for stars to match the necklace she got on her eighteenth birthday. She ran her fingers across it. She couldn't help but remember when she got that necklace. She loved it so much, she wore it for a month straight, she didn't care that it was dressy. Speed have gave that to her, it was the most expensive thing he got her up till then and she knew it came from the hearts.

Jude continued looking, Speed was right that day in the hospital, he had sent her three lovely rings asking for her to wait for him. She read letter after letter. She started at 7pm and it was now 1:30 am. She was cried harder after each letter. She found three CD's of songs he had sent her. What did I do, he obviously loves me. I threw away everything we had for Tommy, who lied to me.

Alrighty, there was the BIG secret revealed. Now what happens? Can Speed forgive Jude? Can Jude actually part ways with Tommy? Will Vie's birthday go over well? Review to find out!
