Blue Sunsets and Whiskey. - J.Birch

Pretty Face.

"Okay, so you wanted to talk to me about something but I have to sit down to hear it?" Judd sounds almost confused as he speaks. 

"Yes. Because if you're sitting I can make sure you don't hurt someone." He raises an eyebrow. 

"Why would I need to hurt someone?" He gives me a look, a 'tell me what the fuck is happening' look.

"I'm pretty sure I'm being stalked." I pause as I think about it more. "Or both of us are and they're just threatening me because I have more to lose." 

"Who the fuck is stalking you?" He asks, his voice is starting to get more aggressive. Louder, harsher, colder. 

"This is why you're sitting down Judd." I put my hand on his chin as I make him look up at me. "I don't know who it is and when we find out you aren't doing shit to them." 

"When I find out who it is I'm going to fucking kill them." He says, looking at me with a blank expression, telling me that he means it. And I believe him on that.

"No you aren't they have so many photos that could ruin my life, you can't hurt them." I think back to the photo of me and Judd having sex in the parking lot.

"Show me." I hand him my phone with them open, he scrolls through the two photos, I see his gaze harden more. 

"Promise you wont do anything?" I give him a look, he looks back up at me. I couldn't make out any of his emotions through his eyes, he looked angry, yet sad, and confused all in one. 

"I'll fucking kill that motherfucker!" He yelled, he started trying to stand up before I pushed him back, "No you won't Judd. If those photos get out my life is fucking over." 

"I'll make sure they don't get out princess." He gives me a wink before I feel my face go hot. 

"Goddamnit Judd." I roll my eyes. 

"Okay, think about it Molly, who hates you enough to do this?" He asks, and I do think. Cass maybe but she wouldn't go this extreme. Kaylee would but she doesn't live here. My mom hates me but she wouldn't do this, we stay out of each other's way as best we can. Tyvin would too, but he also doesn't live here. 

"Cass maybe?" I say, he shakes his head. "Cass wouldn't do this." 

"I don't know then." I say, I sit down beside him as I bury my face in my knees. I wanted to just cry and scream. Until I hear a familiar purring from behind me. "Maybe it's best if we just lay in bed for the rest of the day and recall all of today's events." 

I feel the cat crawl on top of my lap, pushing me back down onto my bed before resting on my chest, it started getting harder to breathe until I feel Judd shaking me. 

"Molly?" He asks, I look up at him. "Yeah?"

"Are you okay?" 

"Uh- yeah I'm fine." The cat is sitting behind me, covering my back with her fur. It's such a warm comforting feeling but I know that if I give in there's no coming back. 

"Are you sure?" I nod, before resting my head back on my knees, I feel his arm go around me. His skin was always cold so it was opposite to the depression kitty behind me. I could feel her slowly fading away. 

"Yeah I promise." I nod at him again, he let go of the hug before he spoke again looking at me. 

"Can I have your phone for a second? There's a place we could go but I have to show you it first."

I smile at him as I hand him my phone, he already knew my password as he had used it a couple times to show me stuff as he only had a burner. He chose it though, he can't complain, even if he doesn't.

He searched up a few things before handing me it back, it was an old abandoned psychiatric hospital. I smile at it before looking back at him. 

"When are we going?" He chuckles a little. "Tonight, it's way too early to do it right now."

"That actually makes a lot of sense." I laugh a little as he kisses me on the cheek, "I gotta head home because my parents are expecting me there for dinner tonight because my dad has an 'announcement?' or something."

"That's fine Judd, go home. I'll see you later." He winks at me as he stands up, he kisses my head and then walks up the stairs. I throw myself back on my bed with a smile. God if he wasn't there I would've fallen right back into my depression. 

(Short chapter bc next one is going to be wayy longer.)
