chapter 24

Pauls (Annies dad) POV

I still couldn't get the stain out of my top when i lost my temper with jane why did she have to be so fucking difficult i knew I shouldnt have hurt her as much ad i did but that bitch deserved it and apparently so much more that's what john and Alan had told me i was still stalking her she was just as stupid as before she left me and sally after one stupid fight with her boyfriend the whore went out and got drunk she talked to complete strangers all night luckily for her no one tried anything but im sure if she wasn't drunk she would have seduced them.
"hey Paul, you nearly done?" I heard Alan ask through the laundry room door we were gonna go out again and see what she was up to and if we lost our temper threaten her again and maybe hit that jude guy, i didnt like him for some reason he cared about her and it was harder to get to her with him obsessing over her all the time.
"yeah, just gimme a sec" I said before giving up on the blood and walking out leaving it in the washing machine we waited outside her apartment building and saw jude walking out... Alone.
"wait until he drives away" I told my friends we only met because of jane me and sally needed someone to hack into her Google account and he helped. out a few minutes later we made our way up the back stairs of the building since we were well known by Darren the door guy he was a failure in life, fourth six and working as a door man. We opened the door that wasn't even locked and went in jane was in the shower we heard the water running quickly i ran into the bedroom and smashed the mirror and window i pulled the closet down roughly all their clothes falling out into a heap i grabbed the bedside lockers and threw them out the window and threw the bed on the side i rummaged through the drawers and spread everything about the room i then went out and stabbed the sofa and T.V i ripped the curtains and went into the other bedroom to see what my friends had done to the main bedroom they slept in they pretty much copied me but they left a note i had written earlier pinned to the wall we all went into the kitchen were we cleaned out the cupboards and broke all the doors in there we broke the table and hit the chairs in half, on the way out we broke the door locks and left.

Annies POV

Jude went out to get us some food while I took a relaxing shower i thought i heard some bashing around but I shrugged it off to me being paranoid after what happened with my dad, when i got out i tied my hair into a messy bun and wrapped a towel around me when i left i gasped everything was a mess i could barely recognise it as the beautiful apartment i first saw then I noticed the lock was broken, was it even locked? I grabbed my phone and called jude he picked up on the second ring.
"hello? Don't worry I'm getting your half if pizza without sweetcorn" jude promised.
"the pizza doesn't matter please get home now" I said on the verge of tears.
"why, whats happened are you ok? Are you hurt?" he asks with worry.
"I'm fine just please get home" I beg him desperately over the phone.
"okay I'll be right there" he promises before hanging up i look around with tears running down my face, the kitchen and sitting room is completely wrecked i walk into our bedroom and see its just as bad everything that was put away in the drawers is now spread over the ground the bedside lockers have been thrown out the smashed window, the bed is on its side and the closet is thrown to the floor i gasp and fall to my knees and cry, why is he doing this? Why can't he just leave me alone? Does he want to end up with my mum? What if he hurts jude? Could i handle that? Suddenly I hear the door open and i quickly compose myself i get up and wipe my eyes and step out to see jude standing in the middle of the sitting room staring around in shock.
"Wh-what happened?" he asks his voice shaking.
"I was in the shower and when i got out it was like this" I tell him looking down.
"are you hurt?"
"no, I'm scared though what if he tries to hurt one of us or he comes back"
"I promise he won't hurt you" I walk over to him and wrap my arms around his neck he holds me and I cry into his chest.
"it's ok, did they do anything in the bedroom?"
"in ours i haven't checked the other one" I admit.
"stay here I'll go check" he tells me he dissappears down the hall and stays there for a while i get worried and go through myself i take a breathe and i open the door i gasp again as I go in i see him sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands and a note beside him the room is ruined i sit down beside him and read over the letter.

If you thonk this is bad it's only the beginning i know all about what you've both done ever now i know all about jude and his problems at school and how he then travelled with his family for a while and I know that your already drinking, you whore, i hope your proud of yourself with how you've already ruined your life, enjoy what you've done because it won't last long.

I gasp and put my arms around judes shoulder he looks up with red eyes.
"he's gonna try to hurt you" he tells me.
"jude, I'm so sorry for getting you into this..." He cuts me off.
"don't start with that again ok? I will protect you we will even move away if we have ti but i won't lose you or let him hurt you ever" he promises.
"I need to think about somethings jude but i promise I love you and i will talk to you about everything ok?" I promise.
"ok" he whispers and hugs me kissing my head and resting his chin on my shoulder and rubs my back comforting while I cry into his shirt.
"jude?" I ask.
"yeah?"
"what happened at your school?"
"nothing important" he lies i can tell he doesn't want to talk about it so I drop it and we fall asleep on the floor hugging eachother.
