Waiting for Never

Chapter 5: Release

"Timothy?" Jude asked softly peeking her head into his office.  He sat tall at his desk sorting through patient files. 

"Yes Sister." He answered taking off his glasses.

"I have a release form for Miss.Winters. I seem to believe she is cured of her illness." Jude said keeping a straight face.  She placed the file infront of him.

"You seem..." He questioned.

"Well, under my authority we performed EST 2 times on Miss.Winters...It seems to have worked." 

Timothy smiled at her then looked down to the paper.  And pushed the top on his pen.  He signed off on the paper and picked if up standing from his chair.  He walked over to Jude and stuck it out infront of her, she stuck her hand out to take it but he swiped it back towards him and smiled koyishly.  Jude gave him a hard look.  He started walking slowly closer to her and she kept backing away, she hit the wall and let out a groan.  Timothy pinned his arms at both her sides trapping her. 

"Timothy...stop this." She begged.

"Come on sister..." He said in her ear gently biting the lobe.  "I know you want this." He said reaching his hand under her her habit.  She punched him and tried shoving him but he was to strong. She looked away from him as tears began to stream down her face.  He reached her center and cupped it with his hand, making her jump.  She searched around the room looking for anything that will help her.  Unexpectedly he shoved 2 digits into her, making her gasp and let out a little cry of pain. He was hurting her, the man she had looked up to for so many years was betraying her.   Just about when she was done fighting she heard footsteps outside his office approaching his door.

"HELP!! HELP!!" She screamed.  Timothy forcefully coverved her mouth with his hand, but it was to late.  A guard busted down the door and attacked Timothy. The 2 went flying into the back wall and all Jude could do was stare, she was locked in place. 

"Sister....Sister Jude! Are you alright." The guard asked shaking her lightly. She was in a trance and all she could do was barely nod her head "come on, lets go to your office." He said lopping his arm under hers.  She softly let tears spill down her face.  He slowly walked her back to her office and into her bedroom.

"Sister, I am so sorry. Is there anything else I can do." The young man asked.  Jude almost shook her head no then remebered Lana. The only person she wanted to see. 

"I have an appointment with Miss.Winters, If you could bring her here that would be all."  She said softly looking up at him. 

"Sister, are you sure. I mean-

"My job can't do itself
.....And thank you...." She said before he left. "I dont know what else he would have done if you hadn't of helped me."  She whispered.

"Its my duty..." He nodded before heading out.

10 minutes later a different guard entered her office.  She got up from her bed and walked out to see Lana.

"That will be it.." Jude said excusing the guard.  She glaced at Lana, the world turned into a blur, and so did all the sounds.The smell. Everything was just gone. She paused trying to hold back the strange feelings rumbling inside her but she couldn't. A lone tear traced down Jude's cheek, and just like that, the floodgates opened. So many tears burst forth like water from a dam, spilling down her face. Her chin trembled as if she was a small child. She breathed heavier than she ever had before. She was gasping for air that simply wasn't there. Her throat burned forming a silent scream. She slowly stood from her desk and walked to Lana.  She stood swaying inches away from her, then threw her arms around her neck and hugged her tightly like she had never anyone before.  Lana quickly hugged her back holding the back of her head with one hand and around her waist with her other arm. Letting Jude cry on her shoulder.  Jude began to slightly shake and Lana was worried so she took the lead and walked Jude to her room.

Once in the privacy of her room, Lana slowly sat Jude onto her bed,  Lana slowly removed her habit and let her hair fall loose.  She rested her hand on Jude's cheek and she nuzzled her face into it closing her eyes. Her tears started to slow and her breathing became slower and almost back to normal.

"Jude, honey. You've got to tell me what happened." Lana said softly.  Jude's eyes slowly opened and instantly filled with tears.

"I-I...He tried to rape me!" She sobbed.  Lana's heart shattered, how could such a respected man do something so vile and disgusting to a woman who would do anything he asked of her.

"Oh Jude...my poor sweet Jude..." Lana cried shakily pulling Jude into her chest. She kissed the crown of her head and held her tight.  Slowly Jude pulled away from Lana and searched all over her face.

"I-um..." Jude started grabbing lana's hands in hers. "I went...for your release forms..." Jude finished squeezing Lana's hand.   At this point Lana wanted to cry, Jude had went through all this go get HER released forms.  Lana ran her fingers through Jude's hair and kissed her softly on her lips, cheeks and chin.

"Jude...If I leave....I want..I need you to come." Lana whispered in her ear smoothly.  Jude nodded her head and pulled Lana onto her bed, there wasn't much room seeming it was only a single matress but they made due.  Lana spooned behind Jude holding her tightly in her arms, she softly brushed her fingers through Jude's locks coaxing her to sleep.
