Chapter Twenty: Jude and Melody

After leaving the Ice Cream Bar, Jude and Melody went out to the park with two bottles of vodka. One that Melody took and one that Jude swiped.

They were sitting together on a bench while Melody was talking to Jude.

"I can't believe they all just pranked me like that. They knew how much I was into Jax and all of them just used my heart and emotions for their personal enjoyment." Jude said before taking another gulp of his bottle of vodka.

"Sounds fucked up if you ask me." Melody said as she also started with her bottle. "Hey Melody?" Jude spoke up after the short moment of their awkward silence. "Yeah, what?"

"Why did I get drunk last week?"

"You asked Jax to be your girlfriend and she rejected you hard. You came in, told me about it and you drank yourself to a stupor."

"So I wasn't celebrating... I was trying to kill the pain I was feeling." Jude said as the images of that night slowly came back to him.

"Yeah, it was painful to watch... luckily my dad had a drink that helped you forget that rejection. Sorry dude." She said as she hugged him while saying the last words.

"Thanks Melody... I really appreciate it." He said before getting up but considering his current state, he fell down onto one knee.

"I will not marry you." Melody joked before Jude said, "Don't think so high of yourself, I just fell down because I'm sooooooo... fucking... drunk."

"Yeah you am." Melody laughed before Jude joined in on the laughter. "Thanks Mel..." he said before he went silent.

"Dude?" Melody asked with some concern as Jude went mute completely. "Let's see where the night takes us... I'm drunk and I wanna have fun!!"

"Wow, mister sensitive is a party man?"

"Hey, I'm insecure and mildly paranoid... that makes me question my every decision but now I don't need to do that shit. I love being drunk!!" He yelled out.

"Yeah!! Let's fuck some shit up!!" Melody yelled before Jude got up and they walked of singing, "One hundred bottles of beer on the wall, One hundred bottles of beer... take one out, drink it about, eighty nine bottles of beer on the wall!!"

Meanwhile with the others...

"I'm getting worried about Jude... where do you think he is?" Abby said as she paced around extremely worried of her friend.

"Relax, he'll be fine." Lexi and Amanda said to try and calm her down but it failed as she responded by saying, "Look, you don't know Jude like I do! In conditions like this, Jude is capable of literally anything and that might get him killed..." Abby said before she gasped, "he's gonna off himself."

She ran out and Amanda followed her.

"You don't think Jude..." Tori started speaking before realising what Jude would have done. "Let's go." Malcom said before he and Tori rushed out too.

With Jude and Melody

Jude had a mic and so did Melody and they were busy singing.

Jude

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Melody

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Jude and Melody

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one's gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) What I did's so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone

The crowd simply cheered as their amazing voices earned them the title of favorite at the karaoke bar. They sang, the crowd cheered but their night was not done yet.

"Jude!!" Tori and Malcom called out on the streets. "Where is he?" Tori asked herself as she looked.

Jax, Abby and Jay went over to the Ice Cream Bar looking for him only to find out they missed him and that they all owed the bar money for the ice cream and vodka that Jude had. They also learned that he left with Melody so they at least had a lead.

Abby was the first to call her but her call was ignored. Next was Jay. Ignored. Then finally Jax. Ignored.

They were all worried now. Jude was emotionally unstable and they now looked back at their prank and realised what a terrible mistake they've made. While guilt filled all their heads, the only thing going on in Abby's head was the hope she held onto that he would forgive her. He was her best friend and she didn't want to lose him like this.

With Jude and Melody, they kept ignoring the ones who kept trying to call her until they picked up their phones and blocked their numbers. They just looked at each other before walking off into the darkness.
