"Eve, Jude will be here in a few minutes. Something is wrong with Jadon and he doesn't know what to do.", Erl says while handing me a glass of water and sitting down on the sofa next to me. "Oh, okay.", I say. I wonder what happened. Jude and Jadon are like... The perfect couple, nothing could bring them apart and they always talk to each other when they have a problem. That that doesn't seem to work right now... And that gives me some worries.
About twenty minutes later the doorbell rings. I stand up and walk to the door which I open for Jude. He looks terrible. "Hey Jude. Come in.", I say and step aside so he can enter he does that, then I hug him. He also wraps his arms around me and starts sobbing quietly. I pull him to the living room and make him sit down on the sofa. "Okay Jude, tell us what happened.", Erl says while wrapping his arms around Jude. The young Englishman digs his fingers into my boyfriends arm and then says with shaky voice: "I.... I... I think this Andre abused Jadon during their relationship. Like...not just the punching he told us about... I think he abused him sexually as well." "What? Jude, why do you think that?", I ask while sitting down next to him as well. Jude's whole body shakes and he whispers: "Well... In the last few weeks we've slowly came closer to... You know... Sexual stuff... At first that wasn't any problem. Like... Kissing and touching in our underwear wasn't any problem. But a few weeks ago we wanted to go further and suddenly he was freaking out. Yesterday the same thing happened. He's just so scared then and can't really move but when I ask him about it he just doesn't want to talk about it. And I just sont know what to do. I want to help him, I don't want him to be scared. And I don't want to push him into things he doesn't want to do. But he puts himself into these situations and then in the end I feel bad because I seem to scare him. I don't want that, I want him to be happy and to trust me but... I just don't know what to do. You gotta help me, please." That really shocks me but I think that Jude's assumption is true. Both Erling and I pull Jude close and he really cries into Erl's hoodie now. I softly stroke over his back, trying to comfort him. "Shhhhh, Jude. We will definitely help you. I will try to talk to him, maybe talking to someone else is easier for him, okay?", I whisper. "Really ? That would be great!", Jude gasps between two loud sobs. I ruffle through his curls and answer: "Yeah, really. Is he at home right now?" As Jude nods I immediately get up. "Good luck.", Erl says before kissing me, then we say good bye. Erl stays here with Jude and makes sure he ain't feeling too bad.
Ten minutes later I'm ringing the door bell at Jadon's house. I wait for a moment, then Jadon opens the door. "Oh, hi Eve, what are you doing here?", he says while letting me in. We get some water from the kitchen and then go to the living room, where we sit down on the sofa. "Jadon... Uhm... Jude is sitting in our apartment and he's really worried about you. He said that you two were getting more close physically and that you were freaking out at some point, that you were scared and couldn't move anymore.", I say while looking at my friend. The smile immediately fades from his face and he wraps his arms around his own body. I crawl a little closer and hug him before I say: "Can you maybe tell me why you reacted like that? What happened, Jadon? You can trust me." Jadon starts shaking and crying and I try to calm him by stroking over his back and holding him really close. His bottom lip starts shaking and he says: "It's just... It still hurts so much. But... I... I will tell you. I told you a lot about Andre already but it.... It was even worse. When we like... Had our first times it was really good, he was very gentle and I enjoyed it but.... One day he changed completely and didn't accept a no and did things I didn't want to do. I... I don't want to say what exactly he did right now but it was horrible. And I'm just so afraid it could happen again, even though in know Jude is different. And I'm so afraid to tell him about it. I mean... I was so weak and let Andre do everything with me without being able to move. Why would Jude want someone like that?" Then he starts sobbing loudly again. I pull him even closer and then say: "Shhhhh Jadon. Andre can't hurt you anymore. He will never hurt you again. And what he did to you is disgusting and I'm so sorry you had to endure it. But believe me, Jude loves you and he will understand. Right now he's just confused and sad and feels bad about having scared you. He doesn't want to scare and hurt you or make you do things you don't want to do. He just wants you to feel good. He's really worried about you, Jadon. Do you think you could maybe tell him? Really, he will understand and he will help and support you. He loves you so unbelievably much Jadon. And he doesn't think you're weak. He already assumpted it when he was telling us everything and he really just wants to help you." The Englishman still cries into my shirt but between two loud sobs he gasps: "Okay, I will tell him. But please stay by my side during that, okay ? I don't want to be alone if he laughs at me or leaves me." I nod and answer: "Of course I'll stay here. But Jude won't laugh or leave. He will be there for you and love you."
