Jude woke to bright sunlight flooding through her red curtains. Wait they're not red. They're black. She sat up quickly and took a sharp breath at the sudden pain in her head. The room around her was fuzzy at the edges and very bright. The white walls made her squint. Where was she? For the first time she realized she wasn't lying in her own bed. She had noticed this wasn't her room straight away. But it had only just hit her that this wasn't her bed. She heard a grunting noise to the side of her. Sat in a black leather chair in the corner of the room was a man.

He stirred again awaking from what must have been an uncomfortable sleep, in that chair. He raised his head to look at her across the room. She didn't need to see his face to know who was sat in the chair.

'Tommy?' Jude looked at him quizzical and he just smiled at her weakly and sat up properly. 'What's going on? Where am I?' her initial panic about the strange scene around her wore down the moment she knew he was there, but still she was confused. What had happened last night?

As of just thinking that to her self jogged a brain in to gear she began to recall some of the events of the previous evening. She remembered her mom, the bar, the guy, the alley. She didn't want to remember any more. Jude placed her hands over eyes to try and block the thoughts that were forming in her head.

'Are you alright?' Tommy was by the bedside quickly, perching on the edge of the bed.

'I've been better.' Jude answered feebly. She removed her hands and gave him a brief smile to show she was ok, for now. 'So how did I get here?' she had so many questions as to where she was and why was she there but thought best to start simple.

'Well I actually carried you here, personal carriage now am I?' he joked knowing that Jude had a lot on her mind. He could see it written all over her face. What had gone on last night before he found her? He was desperate to know.

'Nice Quincy, no more walking from the car to the studio for me?' she laughed lightly. This was good. Light small talk she could handle. But she knew the question she really didn't want to answer was coming.

'What were you doing last night?' Tommy looked serious now. 'Do you remember?' He sat patiently waiting for her to answer and she could tell by the look in his eyes there was no joking out of this one.

'I was...out.' she paused thinking of the easiest way to tell the story and avoided the story. He just sat silently, awaiting an elaboration. 'My moms gone.' The words she wanted to throw out strongly and unemotionally came out barely above a whisper. Her emotions betrayed her, her words cracking as she spoke them, the tears filling her eyes. She looked away from his gaze.

He heard what she had said but didn't really no what to say back. Her deep blue eyes that usually shimmered with hope and anticipation were filled with anger and pain. 'Jude' he whispered softly and pulled her into a hug.

She wasn't expecting his sudden embrace but it was comforting and warm. She felt protected, like no one in the world could ever get to her if she stayed in his arms. She felt the tears slide down her cheek and she shook lightly with silent sobs. Her mom had actually abandoned her. With everything that had happened last night and all her confusion, this still hurt the most. 'She just left.' She mumbled the words more to her self than Tommy but he heard her all the same.

After a while of just sitting and crying Jude pulled away from Tommy. She wiped away the last of her tears with the back of her hand. She smiled weakly and Tommy returned it.

'Thank you.'

'Any time girl.'

Tommy stood up from the bed and pulled open the curtains fully. 'Well we sort of missed breakfast…how about lunch?'

Jude pushed her legs over the side of the bed looked at the clock on the bedside table. 'One o'clock, is that really the time?'

'Yep, see someone kept me up for hours last night vomiting in my toilet.' He turned back to face her. 'You wanna talk about what else happened last night. Before you start to explain that you were just really drunk I will remind you of how I found you.' He looked deadly serious now but there was some thing else there. Worry and concern clouded his beautifully blue eyes.

'It's okay I think I remember that. And no I'd rather not talk about if that's alright.' She spoke softly, she didn't want to shut him out. He had saved her after all. But the picture of that guy's face…the smell of his breath made her want to throw up as it was. She really didn't want to replay it all to Tommy. 'Thank you for being there and err taking care of my but honestly nothing happen that you need to worry about and I'm fine.'

'I will worry though you know that right.' He was willing to leave it alone for now. She had enough to deal with by the look of it. He smiled and held a hand out to pull her up off the bed.

'You worry too much Quincy…' she took his hand and stood smiling widely at him now. 'It's nice to know some one cares.' She said in a lower voice. He hugged her tightly.

'Always' he whispered into her hair.

'Right so where are you taking me for lunch then?' Jude said back to her usual self, hoping to prove to Tommy that she was fine, even though her insides were screaming in protest.

'Parker's?' he asked heading for the door.

'Sounds good to me.' Jude said cheerily. It would be nice to get lost in routine for a bit before reality came back to get her. Then she remembered the last time she went to the café. Lunch with her father. 'Actually how about we fine some where new to try.'

'Okay.' Tommy agreed. 'But girl first shower.' He said teasingly waving his hand in front of his nose.

'Shut up Quincy.' Jude tossed a pillow at him. Tommy dodged it easily and walked to the dresser. He pulled out a shirt and tossed it across the room to her. She caught it and headed for the door. Then she remembered she had no idea where the bathroom was. Almost reading her mind, the moment she turned to asked Tommy answered.

'Straight across the hall. There are towels and everything in there you can use.'

Jude continued out the door waving over her shoulder to him and headed for the bathroom.

'Stop it or I will sing pick up the pieces to you loudly and badly and you won't be able to do anything cause your driving!' Jude threatened Tommy and laughed as she saw him lose the smug look he had.

'Okay you win!' Tommy gave in finally. For the last ten minutes of the drive he had been doing impressions of her, admittedly they were funny but he didn't need to know that.

They pulled up to the Harrison home and Jude lost the smile she had. It looked so empty, Sadie was at work, her dad had moved out long before Jude return and now her mom was gone. Jude hated being alone and that house only left her feeling scared and lonely.

'Well thanks for lunch Quincy.' Jude turned to face Tommy as he cut the engine.

'See you in the studio tomorrow?' he asked as she undid her seat belt.

'Of course…how about tonight?' Jude asked, suddenly she really needed an excuse to leave the house later. She also had a lot to get out of her system.

'If you want to girl…got some thing for me.'

'Maybe…' All Jude could think of was the alley. It was so dark and she was so trapped. She could feel herself starting to cry.

'Jude?' Tommy asked worried at her sudden change of mood.

'I'm fine, so I will meet you later?' Jude looked straight in to Tommy's deep blue eyes. She didn't know what she would do if she ever lost him. He was everything to her. No matter how much she tried to stop herself she loved him, truly. And nobody else could compare. If only he loved her back. She smiled at the thought and he smiled back at her. Never taking his eyes from hers. Before she had even thought about Jude Lent in and kissed him.

Her soft lips drove him insane, he really shouldn't do this. Tommy returned her kiss passionately. He reached round her and pulled her close. She ran her hands through his soft brown hair.

WAIT what was she doing? This can't happen! But he tastes so good and she really never wanted to let him go.

Before Jude could make up her mind Tommy pulled away from her panting slightly. 'Err…wow!' was all he said, not really meaning to say it aloud.

'I should err go. See you at the studio.' Jude got out the car as quickly as possible and all but ran to the front door. Well that wasn't what she thought she would be doing today. Damn him, Tom Quincy…she just can't get rid of him!

there ya go..... please review!
