Chapter Eight
Two weeks have passed since that day in the Harrison home, Sadie and Jude are now staying at Kwest's apartment, Kwest moved all of his stuff out of his home office, and made it into a bedroom for Jude, Jude had not been into the studio at all, she was like a zombie, all she did was lay in her new bed, and stare off into space, Sadie was still freaked out by the situation, but she knew she had to be strong for Jude.
At night, as Sadie would lay in bed, next to Kwest, she would break down, and start crying, Kwest did his best to comfort her, holding her tightly, until she wore herself out and eventually drifted to sleep, for some reason Kwest felt as though Sadie felt guilty, he would tell her what happened wasn't her fault, that she had no idea, then she would get this look in her eyes, a look that said, maybe she did know something, but he tried to ignore it, he knew Sadie couldn't have known, she wouldn't let something like that happen to her baby sister.
Jude was laying in bed, it was about 3:30am, she couldn't sleep, she hardly got any sleep since that day, every time she closed her eyes she would see everything happening again, like it was a movie playing in her head, and it just kept playing, she couldn't let herself sleep, what if HE found her? He was still out there somewhere...
(Flashback)
Tommy walked over to Jude, he reached out trying to comfort her, but she backed away from him, fear in her eyes, Sadie was still in shock, she just sat in the hallway, back against the wall, and silent tears spilling from her eyes, Stuart laid there, his body looked lifeless.
Tommy: Jude, please, I'm not going to hurt you, he said attempting to reach for her.
Jude: no, no leave...me...alone, she yelled through tears, backing herself further away from Tommy.
Tommy looked at her, tears threatening to fall, why was she looking at him like he was going to hurt her, why did she look at him like he was the one that hurt her.
Tommy stood there, not knowing what to, the sound of someone pounding on the door downstairs, caused Tommy, and Jude to jump, Sadie just sat there, like she didn't hear a thing, the pounding got louder, then the door opened, and there stood two police officers, they looked around, and didn't see anything.
Officer Brooks: it's the police, is anyone here? The young officer yelled, from downstairs
it was as if Sadie heard nothing, But Tommy and Jude heard them loud and clear, Jude started to panic, Tommy stood there not knowing how to react.
Jude: you can't say anything Tommy, please? She pleaded
Tommy: Jude, they are going to know something's up, when they come up here, and see you with a sheet wrapped around yourself, HIM laying there, passed out, with no clothes. He said, stating the obvious
when they got no answer from anyone, the two police officers made there way upstairs, once making it to the top, they spotted Sadie, just sitting there, with tears streaming down her face.
Officer Santos: are you okay miss, the officer asked, but got no response from Sadie.
The two officers made their way to the room, once inside, they stared from Mr. Harrison, to Jude, then to Tommy. Jude stood there, tears streaming down her face, head hung low, in embarrassment, Tommy just stared at them, not really knowing what to say.
Stuart and Jude were taking to the hospital, the officers arrested Tommy, he told them he was responsible for Stuart's current state, Jude made Tommy promise he wouldn't say anything.
They allowed Tommy his one phone call, and he called Kwest, he didn't tell him everything that happened, he Just told him that he should go get Sadie, and go bail him out of jail, Kwest tried to push for an explanation, but Tommy told him he would explain everything once he was released.
Jude laid in the hospital bed, she was numb, everything that just happened was to much for her to handle, so she just went numb, she felt nothing, it's like she didn't even exist.
The cops explained how they found Jude, her father laying on the floor naked, and unconscious, Jude wrapped in a blanket, they pretty much put two, and two together, and realized what had happened to Jude, they tried to check her for any signs of rape, just because they assumed, they couldn't exactly accuse Stuart of anything yet, they had to do everything by the book.
A doctor entered Jude's room, she was a tall slender woman, of around 28 years of age. She walked up beside Jude, trying to get her out of her current state of shock, she gently laid a hand on Jude's shoulder, trying to get her attention, Jude didn't react at first.
Doctor Cohen: Ms. Harrison I have to do a routine check up on you, she spoke gently, putting her hand on Jude's shoulder again, this time Jude reacted, she started screaming, she jump off the bed, and ran to a corner in the room, she slid down to the floor, hugging her knees to her chest rocking back on forth, crying hysterically, the nurse cautiously made her way over to Jude, she pulled up a chair that was placed against the wall, and sat in front of Jude.
Doctor Cohen: Ms. Harrison, noone can hurt you here, ok?, I just need to do some boring doctor stuff, to see if everything is ok with you, it won't take long, she spoke ever so delicately, she understood what Jude was going through, the same thing happened to her when she was younger.
Jude looked up at her, with tears spilling from her eyes, she gave a small nod
about an hour later Dr. Cohen had finished examining Jude, she left the room, Jude just laid there, just staring off into space, thinking about everything she put Tommy through, he was arrested, and it was all her fault.
( Jude thinking): I should have never brought Tommy into my mess
Tommy
two hours had passed since he called Kwest
Officer Hogan: Mr. Quincy, your bail has been posted your free to go, but you have to fill out some forms regarding your up coming trial, the 40 something year old officer said as he opened the cell bars.
Tommy quickly stood up from bed, and made his way out of the holding cell, he walked up to the receptionist desk and filled out the necessary paper work, making his way out of the police station, he was bombarded with paparazzi, flashes of cameras coming from all around him, the paparazzi yelling questions at him, he shrugged them off as best as he could, trying to spot Kwest, once he spotted him, he made his way over to Kwest's car, he noticed Sadie sitting up front, just staring off into nothing, and Kwest sitting in the drivers side, with a comforting hand on her shoulder, Tommy quickly got in the car and told Kwest to take off fast, the paparazzi were now running towards them, Kwest immediately took off, once the paparazzi were no where in site, he began to speak
Kwest: yo T, would you mind telling me what the hell is going on, he asked eagerly, He tried to ask Sadie, when he picked her up, but she wouldn't talk.
Tommy: Kwest, now isn't the time, he said, not wanting talk about it in front of Sadie, in the current state she was in, he didn't think talking about what happened would do her any good.
Kwest came to a stop sign, and turned around in his seat to look at Tommy
Kwest: Tom, what..., but he was cut off
Tommy: Kwest, now...isn't...the...time, he spoke slowly, and made a gesture with his head, motioning towards Sadie, Kwest nodded understandingly, and continued to drive.
Kwest: Tom, where are we going? He asked, just now realizing he had no clue of his destination
Tommy: Toronto Memorial Hospital, he said, his voice shaky, with sadness, worry, anticipation.
Kwest: who is in the hospital?, he asked clueless to everything that happened
Tommy: Jude, he said, turning his head towards the window, he let a tear drop
At the hospital
Tommy, ran inside the hospital, looking around he spotted a receptionist, he ran up to the desk
Tommy: can you tell me what room Jude Harrison is in? He asked, impatiently tapping his fingers, she looked up at him.
Receptionist: um...Mr...
Tommy: Quincy, he said
Receptionist: Mr. Quincy, I'm sorry but only family is allowed to see Ms. Harrison at this time, she said, feeling sorry for the guy in front of her.
Tommy: I'm her...um...fiancé, he said, hopping that would work
The receptionist looked at him questioningly, Tommy gave her a pleading look.
Receptionist: ok Mr. Quincy, she sighed, feeling bad for Tommy, her room number is 314, it's on the 3rd floor, she said, as she handed him a visitors pass, he gave her a small smile of appreciation, and head towards the elevators
Once inside the elevator, he started to nervous, after the look Jude gave him when they were in her room, like she was terrified of him, he didn't know how she would react to seeing him, but he had to see her, had to make sure she was ok.
He took a deep breath, standing in front of room 314, he gently knocked, there was no answer, he pushed the door open trying not to be to loud, he thought see might be asleep, he entered the room, her back was facing him, he felt a lump form in his throat, and there wasn't much he could do, the tears started pouring from his eyes, as he sobbed.
Jude turned around at the sound of Tommy's crying, Tommy, had his head in his hands.
Jude: Tommy, she said
Tommy immediately looked up at her, he wanted to run up to her and put his arms around her, comfort her, and as selfish as it sounds, he felt the need for comfort to
He wiped his eyes, and slowly went up to the bed, he sat down in the chair next to the bed.
Tommy: Jude...are you ok?... what did the doctors say?...he asked.
Jude: I'm ok, she whispered
Tommy: thank goodness, he said, and tried to reach for her hand, but she pulled it away
Jude: Tommy, you didn't ...say anything...did you? She asked, worry dripping from every word
Tommy: no...but..., he was cut off
Jude: no Tommy, you can't say anything...ever, please? She said, as she began to cry
Tommy, not wanting to see her cry, let out a sigh
Tommy: ok Jude,...but I think...
Jude: no Tommy, she said firmly, Tommy nodded.
Tommy: Jude when you get out of here, I want you to move in with me, he said, looking into her eyes, Jude looked the other way,not wanting to look him in the eye, as she spoke.
Jude: Tommy, I'm not moving in with you, she said
Tommy: but Jude...
Jude: you just want me to move in with you because you pity me, well you know what? I don't want your damn pity, I don't need your help, and I sure as hell don't need you, she yelled.
Tommy: Jude, you don't...you don't mean that, he said, trying to reach for her hand again, but once again Jude, snatched her hand away from his reach
Jude: yes I do, she said, firmly
Tommy: Jude...
Jude: you can do one thing for me, she aid
Tommy: what?, he asked, with hopefulness in is voice
Jude: you can stay the hell out of my life, she spat
Tommy just sat there, mouth agape, tears forming in his eyes
Tommy: but Jude...
Jude: no but's, I want you gone, LEAVE!!, she yelled
Tommy: I love you Jude, and you love me too, and when you love someone you're there for them Always, he said, tears flowing freely from his eyes
Jude: your wrong Tommy, I don't...love you, she said, turning her head, she couldn't stand to see him cry, but she had to do this, it's the right thing to do, it's what's best for him, she couldn't keep burdening him, with her screwed up life
Tommy: your lying Jude, I know you love me, he said, choking on his words
Jude: get it through your head, I don't love you, she said, her voice raised
Tommy: then why did you say it? He asked, as more tears fell
Jude: I was caught up in the moment ok? I'm sorry but that's just how it is, she said, trying to sound as convincing as possible.
Tommy: ok then, he got up from the chair, and made his way to the door, he opened the door, but before he left, he turned around to look at Jude, I love you, and I will always love you, with that he left out the door, and out of her life.
Jude buried her had in her hands, and started to sob
( Jude thinking): I love you to, and I always will, but I have to let you go
Current time
Jude laid in her bed, there was a knock on the door, the door slowly opened
Kwest: Jude are you hungry? Do you need anything? He spoke delicately, hoping she'd answer him
Jude: I'm not hungry, thanks, she whispered
Kwest: Jude you have to eat something, he said
Jude: I will I promise, just not right now, she said, trying to sound convincing
Kwest: ok Jude, whenever your hungry, you know where the kitchen is, he said, as he exited the room
(Jude thinking) I miss you so much Tommy
Toronto International Airport
: one way ticket to New York
He took his seat on the plain, he reached for something in his pocket, he pulled it out, and looked at the picture,
