Also, I know the guy I have playing David is hot! And I'm sorry for making him a monster to Jude. Maybe I can redeem him and he could be a good guy? Nah, no way lol, okay maybe?

Chapter 17

"Hello?" Jude answered her phone when she got back to the car.

"Jude, are you okay?" Shay's voice was urgent.

Jude lightly slapped her head. She forgot that she called Shay last night.

"Yes, I'm fine." she replied.

"Where are you?" He asked.

"Miami." she said softly. She thought about lying to Shay, but she couldn't keep anymore secrets to herself. So, she told him the truth. Jude knew Shay was going to be mad at her.

"I know." he simply stated.

"How do you know?" She was confused because no one knew she was in Miami, not even Sadie.

"It's a long story. Where are you?" he asked again.

"Umm, Shay I just said I was in Miami." She said it slowly because apparently he didn't hear her.

"No, I mean where in Miami?"

"Oh, I'm at the Forestlawn Cemetery." (just a name of a cemetery, it might or might not be a cemetery in Miami named that)

"Are you there alone?"

"Not exactly." Jude said, nervously.

"Is Tommy with you?" Shay asked.

Jude gasped. "How do you know that?"

"Nevermind that. Stay there, we will be there in about 20 minutes." then he hung up.

She looked over at her son's gravestone where she'd left Tommy. She saw his mouth moving, and she wished she knew what he was saying. Then it dawned on her.

Why is Shay in Miami? And did he say we will be there in 20 minutes?

20-Something Minutes Later

A black van pulled up next to Tommy's rental car. Shay, Sadie, Kwest, Jamie, Patsy, Spiederman, Kyle, and Wally hopped out.

"What are all of you doing here?" Jude asked. She was surprised, but slightly annoyed.

"We came to see you, dude." Spied said.

"Yeah, we came to see you." Shay said in a very accusatory tone.

Jude glared at him as he hugged her. While they hugged, Jude whispered in Shay's ear, "Why did you bring all of them?"

"We're all worried about you. Why didn't you tell me you were back in Miami with him?" Shay was referring to David.

"It was a mistake, okay. So, can we all just go home?"

"I missed you little sister." Sadie said, as she embraced Jude.

Shay spotted Tommy at a gravestone. While the G-Major crew took turns hugging Jude and telling her how much they missed her, he walked over to Tommy.

Shay cleared his throat to let his presence be known. Tommy looked at him, acknowledged his presence, then back to the gravestone. Shay followed his gaze and his eyes grew wide. This was his first time seeing Tyler's grave.

"It's seems unreal, doesn't it?" Shay asked.

"You knew about this?" Tommy asked, incredulously.

"Yeah, Jude told me a while back." Shay felt slightly happy that Jude told him something before she told Tommy.

Tommy had a painfully jealous look on his face. His expression quickly turned from jealous to anger. "So, you knew about this for a while, and you didn't do anything about it?"

Kwest saw Tommy and Shay in a very intimidating standoff. He excused himself from the little reunion they were having and quickly walked to where the two men stood. When he approached them, he heard Shay say, "That's why I'm here."

Tommy gave him a confused look.

"Jude begged me not do anything about it, but I figure since we're both here, and you know now, we can solve this 'problem'." Shay replied.

"What's going on?" Kwest finally asked.

Tommy pulled Kwest to the side and briefly told him about Tyler and that David was hurting Jude.

It all made sense to him now. He wondered why Jude was acting different, it all made sense.

"That son of a bitch was putting his hands on my little sister!" Kwest was furious!

Tommy nodded his head.

"What are we going to do, because I'm down for whatever!" Kwest said.

"I say, we pay him a little visit." Shay handed Tommy a piece of paper with Jude and David's address on it.

In the midst of everything going on around her, Jude glanced at Tommy, Shay, and Kwest. They looked like they were up to something, and that worried her deeply.

Kwest pulled out his cellphone and typed the address into his GPS. "Let's do this!" Kwest said. He was still angry and his adrenaline was pumping.

They walked back to the rest of the crew. Tommy pulled Jamie aside.

"I need you to do me a huge favor."

Jamie looked confused. "What is it?"

"I need you to get Jude out of here."

"Why?"

"Just please take her to the airport and wait for us to get there."

Sadie walked over to Kwest, who was pacing in a small circle.

"Hey baby, what's wrong?" she asked.

Kwest ignored her. He kept his head down while he paced.

"Kwest?" she placed her hands on his chest to stop him from moving. Then she lifted his face to meet hers. His eyes were bloodshot red and it scared her. She knew he was beyond mad.

"Kwest, talk to me. What's wrong?" She tried to calm him down by gently rubbing his ears. That usually worked, but not this time.

Kwest moved Sadie's hands away. "T, let's go!" he shouted to Tommy.

"Alright." Tommy replied. Shay tossed the keys to Jamie and he announced to the crew that they were heading to the airport.

"Already?" Wally whined.

"Dude, we didn't even get a chance to do anything." Spied said.

"I agree." Kyle added.

"Quit your belly-aching." Patsy commented.

Tommy unlocked his rental car and Shay got in.

"What's going on Tommy?" Jude asked.

Tommy looked into her heavenly blue eyes and he didn't want to lie to her.

"We're all going to the airport. I'm riding with Tommy." Shay spoke up. Jude just stared into his eyes, begging for him to tell her the truth.

"Come on T, let's go!" Kwest said again.

Tommy hugged Jude, and then he walked around the car and got in the driver seat.

Kwest was about to get in when Sadie grabbed him. "You're riding with them?" she asked.

"Yes, now go get in the van!" Kwest yelled at her.

Sadie's eyes got watery, but she turned away from him, so he wouldn't see her cry. "Come on Jude." she grabbed her sister's hand and pulled her to the van.

Jamie pulled alongside Tommy's car. "Am I following you guys to the airport?"

"Do you know how to get there?" Shay asked.

Jamie nodded his head 'yes'.

"Then, we'll follow you." Shay answered back.

Jude ears pricked up at Shay's statement. He certainly didn't sound like he was telling the truth.

"Okay." Jamie said. He led the way out of the cemetery and onto the road.

"We'll follow them for about five minutes, and then we'll make our detour." Tommy said.

Jude kept her eyes on Tommy's car. After five minutes of driving, she saw his car lag behind a few cars. Then, his car took a right, and they were out of sight.

"Jamie, make a U-turn."

"Jude, I have to keep straight ahead."

"We're not going to the airport right now." she told him.

"We're not?" Sadie asked.

Jude shook her head.

"Well, we should tell Tommy." Jamie glanced at the rearview mirror. "Uh, guys, I don't see them, do you?"

Sadie looked back and she didn't see them either. She pulled out her cell to call them, but Jude quickly snatched it from her.

"No, I have a plan. Jamie make a U-turn now!" Jude shouted at him.

Jamie made the turn like Jude told him to.

"Okay, can somebody tell me what's going on?" Sadie asked.

"Me too." Jamie added.

"We're following Tommy's car to see where they're going." Jude said.

"Woo-hoo! High speed car chase! Come on Jamester put your pedal to the medal!" Patsy reached her foot over and stomped Jamie's feet on the gas pedal.

"Ow!" Jamie yelped in pain.

"Patsy, no! They can't see us. We have to drive slowly, just don't lose their car." Jude spotted their car a few blocks ahead.

"We can't even have a car chase. This trip sucks." Spied pouted.

After ten minutes of following the car, Jude started to notice some of the places. She shook her head. There was no way they were going to where she thought they were going.

After a few more familiar places, she was convinced that they were going to the condo.

"No way!" Jude thought out loud.

"What?" Sadie asked.

"Jamie, can you make a pit stop? I gotta drain the main vein." Kyle interrupted.

"I gotta piss something fierce." Wally said.

"I gotta relieve the anaconda." Spied added.

"Seriously guys, do you all have to go now?" Jamie asked.

"I could just go right here." Spied said. "Kyle, scoot over so I can use the cup holder."

After Sadie heard him unzip his pants, she yelled, "PULL OVER!" She was disgusted.

They pulled into a gas station and everyone got out except for Jude. She took in her surroundings. She remembered when David stopped at this gas station because she craved chili cheese-flavored chips and half-lemonade/half-iced tea when she was pregnant with Tyler. This gas station was the only one that had it. David would drive back and forth to get it for her. Now, looking at this gas station made her sick to her stomach.

Meanwhile

"This is it." Shay said.

"I'm going to park the car farther down." Tommy said.

"So, how are we going to do this? We need to get in there and I doubt he'll just let me in." Shay stated.

"Right, and he knows who you are too Tommy, so I'll get my foot in the door, then I'll let you guys in." Kwest told them.

"Okay, let's do this for Jude!" Shay said.

"For Jude." Kwest replied.

"For Jude." Tommy said.

Kwest walked to the door and rang the doorbell. He was trying his best to contain his anger, but it was still too soon. He knocked on the door because David was taking too long to answer.

"Wait a minute." David grumbled. He was still trying to get rid of his hangover.

Kwest rang the bell and knocked on the door again.

"Wait a damn minute!" David yelled as he slipped a shirt on and opened the door. "Can I help you?"

Kwest put on a fake smile. "Is there where Jude Harrison lives? I'm a big fan."

"That's good to know." David, said as he was closing the door.

Kwest put his fist against the door. "Is she here? I would love to get a picture with her."

"She's not here." David started to close the door again.

Kwest yanked the door open wider. "I can stay until she gets here. I love her music. I have all her greatest hits. You have some greatest hits too, right?"

"Huh?" David gave him a confused look.

"Greatest hits, like this..." Kwest punched David and he flew across the room and hit the glass table.

"Man, what the hell!" David shouted, as he tried to get up from the floor.

Kwest rushed into the condo and kicked David back down to the ground.

"You like to hit women, don't you?" Kwest asked him.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Just leave." David begged.

Just then, Tommy and Shay walked in. David looked towards the door and his eyes grew wide.

"What the fuck are guys doing here? You shouldn't be in my house!" David yelled in a lame attempt to be tough.

"Did you think you were going to get away with hurting Jude?" Shay asked, as he got closer to David.

"MAN, WHATEVER SHE TOLD YOU, SHE'S LYING. SHE'S A LYING BITCH!"

Those were the wrong words to say because before Kwest or Shay could react, Tommy's fist connected to David's mouth. Blood spewed everywhere, some sprayed against Tommy's face. Before David could cry out in pain, Tommy threw another powerful jab to his eye. David hit his head on the big vase sitting on the floor.

"YOU FUCKING COWARD!" Tommy kept shouting as he kicked and punched him at any open space. Kwest restrained David on the ground as Tommy let him have it. Shay was waiting on his turn, but by the looks of it, David wouldn't last that long. After Tommy kicked David in his side, he stood over him and said, "YOU WERE SO QUICK TO PUT YOUR HANDS ON A WOMAN, WHY DON'T YOU BE A MAN AND HIT ME?"

Kwest took this opportunity to punch David in his jaw. "YEAH BITCH! HIT A MAN!"

Meanwhile

As the minutes went by Jude's bad feeling was getting worse. She began to honk the horn. "Guys, come on!" Finally, everyone started to get back in the car.

"You want a chocolate bar?" Wally offered Jude.

"No, we have to go! Jamie, at the light, take a right and follow the road until you get to the first set of condos." Jude instructed.

"Why are we going to a condo?" Sadie asked.

"Because that's where Tommy, Shay, and Kwest are…And David." She added.

Sadie's eyes grew wide in understanding. "Oh my god!"

"Quincy should've told me he was going. I would have helped." Jamie said, as he stomped on the gas, and they were off to the condo.

Back At the Condo

Shay, Kwest, and Tommy were kicking and stomping David into the ground. He hollered in pain, but was quickly silenced with a kick to the mouth by Shay.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HER AFTER Y'ALL LOST A BABY?" Shay questioned him, as he punched him in the chest. David closed his eyes as the pain radiated all through his body.

"IT'S ALL JUDE'S FAULT!" David yelled.

"FUCK YOU!" Tommy shouted and kicked him in his stomach.

"Stand him up Kwest." Shay instructed. When Kwest stood David up, Shay punched him and he crashed into two lamps.

Tommy yelled as he stomped David in his chest. "AND THAT'S FOR TRYING TO RAPE HER, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" David tried to cough, as air was escaping his body.

All the punching and kicking ceased. Kwest and Shay turned to Tommy.

"He tried to rape her?" Shay asked venomously.

Tommy nodded. Shay and Kwest turned back to David.

"YOU TRIED TO RAPE HER MUTHAFUCKA!" Shay stomped him in his groin.

Just Then

As Jamie pulled up to the condo, Jude spotted Tommy's rental car parked a few spaces down. She jumped out of the van. Ms. Helen, her neighbor was standing outside of her condo, with a phone in her hand.

"Jude! Thank God, I thought you were in there! I heard a lot of noise and your door is opened, so I called the police."

Jude disliked Ms. Helen. She had just moved in when Jude returned to Miami with David. She was nice, but she was a nosy neighbor. She was in everyone's business. Jude was annoyed because Ms. Helen was out of town when David started to beat her again. But, here she was now when Tommy, Shay, and Kwest were kicking David's ass.

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" Jude heard Kwest shout. She ran into the condo. At the sound of Kwest' voice, Sadie went after her sister.

When they walked in, they were shocked at the sight before them. The front room of the condo was wrecked. The lamps were tipped over, the vases were smashed, and there was broken glass everywhere. The sisters stopped walking when they saw Tommy, Kwest and Shay kicking and punching David, as he cried out in pain.

"STOP PLEASE!" David screamed.

"I'm sure that's what Jude was saying to you. But, did you stop? NO!" Shay punched David in the mouth again.

Jude closed her eyes. All of this seemed like a bad dream. When she opened her eyes again, it was reality. David was finally paying for what he had done to her. Deep down inside her, Jude wanted all of this to stop. No matter how horrible he was to her, she didn't want anyone else to get hurt.

"STOP!" Jude yelled.

The guys turned around and looked at Jude. Tommy gave Jude an apologetic look.

"What are you doing here?" Kwest asked.

"Jude…" David weakly called her name.

"Shut the fuck up!" Shay said, as he kicked him.

Sadie walked over to Kwest and wiped some blood off his cheek with her thumb. She was crying as she looked him in his eyes. He was about to gently stroke her cheek, but he had blood on his hands and he didn't want that on her face.

"Baby, I'm sorry but I had to do this for Jude." He said softly. Sadie nodded in understanding.

"I asked you not to do this Shay." Jude reprimanded him.

"And you," she turned to Tommy. "Why did you lie to me?"

"Jude, I'm not going to let some asshole hurt you, and not do anything about." Tommy replied back.

Shay put his fist out to Tommy and they bumped fist in agreement.

"I…never meant…to…hurt… you Jude." David said.

Tommy was about to hit David again, but Jude put her hand to his chest to stop him.

"I know David." Jude said. She walked over to him and touched the side of his face.

"Jude, what are you doing?" Shay and Tommy asked in a harsh tone.

A police siren sounded outside.

Two police officers walked in along with Ms. Helen.

"These three guys right here, officers." Ms. Helen pointed to Tommy, Shay, and Kwest. "They were beating on David." She accused.

"Who lives here?" One officer asked.

"David does, officer. And Jude too." Ms. Helen said as she pointed to Jude.

The other officer got on his walkie-talkie. "We're going to need a medic."

The two officers put Tommy, Shay, and Kwest in handcuffs.

When the medic arrived, the police officers walked the guys out and put them in the back of the police car.

"What's going on?" Kyle asked, as he and the rest of the G-Major crew got out of the van.

"They got arrested for beating up Jude's ex-boyfriend, the one that was beating her up." Sadie was pissed off.

"What?" Spied asked.

As they brought David out on a stretcher, Patsy sneaked over to him, grabbed her knife out of her boot and sliced his arm, before they put him in the ambulance.

"Aaaaggghhh!" David screamed in even more pain.

"VICTORY!" Patsy screamed back.

The police officers quickly handcuffed her. There was no space in the police car for her, but she dove in onto the guy's laps. The officers slammed the door.

"What's up boys?" Patsy asked nonchalantly.

The ambulance took off, and so did the police car.

The rest of the G-Major crew got in their van and followed the police car to the police station.

"Patsy is crazy!" Kyle exclaimed. That was the only exciting thing that happened all day.

"I think I'm in love." Wally drooled. Patsy had him infatuated.

Spied ignored Wally's comment. Nothing mattered right now, but Jude. He tightened his hold around her, as Sadie held Jude's hand.

Jamie pulled out his cellphone and dialed Darius' number.

"Andrews!" Darius shouted.

"Hey Darius, how… are you?" Jamie stammered. He already knew Darius was angry.

"Don't ask me any questions, just answer them! Where the hell is everyone? I come out of my office and everyone is gone! My artists aren't recording! My receptionist isn't answering important business calls! Do you know what that means?"

Jamie thought it was a rhetorical question, so he kept quiet.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?" Darius yelled.

'Uh, it…means…that…uh…" Jamie stammered again. Darius was scaring him.

"It means that I'm not making money! I don't even care where the hell everyone is, just get back here now!"

"That's why I was calling. We have a problem."
