Part 17

Jude's POV:

Lia is showing me the funny dm's she got when she gets a text from an unknown number the text said "I see you've got yourself a little boyfriend...you can't run away from me forever Aaliyah😏" The room instantly went silent but the silence was interrupted by a notification from the unknown number again and it read
"you already know who I am, no need to be guessing" I pulled away from her because I didn't know what to say or what to do. I was already overthinking everything, it was silent for a few minutes until Lia broke the silence

Lia: Jude it's not what you're thinking

Jude: so what is it?

Lia: he's my crazy ex, well we didn't date but we were in the talking stage. It was 2 years ago but I stopped talking to him because he SA'ed me and he claimed that I was "overreacting" and that it was just a "simple mistake" so I should just ignore it and date him. Ever since I told him I didn't want to be associated with him he started stalking me and has tried to control me

Jude: I'm so sorry that happened to you, have you tried to report him to the police?

Lia: no because I am very scared of what he's capable of and I was also questioning my memory because he also kept saying that I remembered it wrong

Jude: no amount of apologies could ever make your trauma disappear but I truly am so sorry for everything you've gone through, you are one of the strongest people I've ever met and I hope you know that

Lia: thank you, I appreciate all of your support

Jude: he sounded serious, what are you going to do?

Lia: I'm going to get a restraining order against him, and hopefully that'll make him stop ruining my life more

Jude: yeah a restraining order against him sounds like a good solution

Lia: can I ask you a question

Jude: sure, what is it?

Lia: why do you like me? Like why did you still choose to stay in my life after what I told you?

Jude: I like you because you are very sincere, very open to suggestions that could help you and I admire your strength because everything that has to happened to you is some of the worst things anyone could ever go through but you are still fighting. I know you might think I don't recognize that you are trying your hardest but I do and I know Bella does too

Lia: thank you so much, you always know what to say

Jude: I'm perfect aren't I

Lia: as much as I hate to admit it you are

Jude: I already know I am, I just needed a reminder

We talked for a couple of minutes until we decided to go back downstairs and watch tv with Bella

Lia: hey, do you wanna watch a movie with us?

Bella: sure, what movie

Jude: I was thinking white chicks
