darker_londonDistraction. Distraction was exactly what Jude needed tonight and Deirdre was, thank god, willing to provide it. Even if she didn't know what role she was playing.
Jude found herself constantly wringing her hands and biting her lips. No, Jude, you don't know anything for sure yet. Just try and keep it together.
Sure, she was trying. But she was also failing. Pulling on a big jumper she walked down the stairs, taking the steps two at a time, and entered into the kitchen to meet Deirdre

Deirdre excitedly tied her "Kiss the Cook" apron around her and set about putting all the essentials for the brownies up on the bench. She hummed to herself until she heard noise behind her.
"Jude!! Do you like nuts?"

Jude nodded and walked into the kitchen. "Yeah. Nuts. Brownies. Good." She approached Deirdre from behind and instead of standing beside her she hoisted herself up to sit on the kitchen table behind her.

"Nuts it is!" she announced, pulling the container of walnuts from a cupboard and placing them on the bench too.
"Anything else you want in there?"

Jude shook her head and picked up a banana from the nearby fruit bar and fiddled with it in her hand distractedly.

Deirdre glanced at Jude oddly. "Jude...are you alright? You seem...distracted. Either that, or you really want a banana in the brownies and you're too afraid to tell me." She attempted to give Jude a reassuring smile.
God she looked beautiful, even when she was off in some other world.

She concentrated deeply on the fruit in her hand, trying to breath smoothly. Finally she raised her eyes slowly to Deirdre and saw that reassuring smile. Jude attempted to smile back. "Um," tell her, don't tell her, tell her, don't tell her, tell-
Jude was conflicted. Finally she shook her head and looked back down at the banana. "Banana brownies," she said, trying to make sure there was no tremor in her voice. "Think it would work?"

"In a word, no. But we can try it if your heart is set on it." She winked and then looked back up. That wasn't it. But she was afraid to push her. Not like last time. Not like barring her at the door. How should she do this? Talk about her own issues? That would make her uncomfortable. Oh god.
Her voice wavered, "Jude? I don't want to push you, but if there's anything else wrong, you can tell me. Like you said to me the other day. You know, about Renee?" She turned and measured the correct amount of eating chocolate into a cup and then dumped it into a bowl. "Or you can crack 3 eggs into this bowl and tell me to shove off." She handed Jude the bowl and placed the eggs beside her.

Deirdre took the bowl out of Jude's hands and hugged the girl. She knew Jude was skittish and didn't like being touched, but it was all Deirdre could think to do.

Jude was stiff as Deidre hugged her, not able to hug her back but not pulling away either. Her eyes were fixed on the clock on the other wall, her stomach twisting with nerves. "I don't know what to do," he voice was almost silent and her next words barely left her throat. "I'm scared."

Deirdre released Jude, trying to push away the feeling of euphoria that she had just managed to embrace the girl.
"It'll be okay, Jude. I-" Deirdre sighed. "Look, I think the first thing to do, is go to the doctor. There's no use worrying if there's no problem, is there?" She pushed Jude's hair out of her face and put a reassuring hand on the girl's shoulder. Then she whispered, "Don't be scared, I'll help you."

A lie. Jude knew it. Deirdre wouldn't have to worry over whether she was pregnant or not. Deirdre wouldn't have to deal with the concequences. Deirdre wasn't being punished.
She bit her lip and looked down at the bowl next to her. "I don't really feel like making brownies," she said flatly.
Deirdre, how am I meant to live if I'm pregnant? Tell me, Deirdre! Tell me how you're going to make that better!
Anger was beginning to swell up inside her and she dug in nails in her thighs to stop herself from exploding.

Things like this shouldn't happen to people. She didn't want to bring up WHY Jude was pregnant. That was....far too disturbing. Nor did she want to bring up the possible ways to get out of this. Abortion...adoption...would Jude kick her arse for mentioning them?
Let alone the fact that she was feeling like if Jude had the child and asked her to, she'd take it on as her own. Help the girl raise it. I am 17. I must be crazy.

Thwump Stephie sat down quite abruptly on Deirdre's doorstep. She hadn't meant to, one minute she was pretty much keeping upright, the next she'd sitting on her heels contemplating the door. I could just sleep here for a bit. That'd work. Yeah...
'Cept she didn't think it was really that brilliant an idea. Stephie reached out and banged a couple of times on the door, then leaned back against the dooframe, her eyes closed to stop them going AWOL again.

Thwump
What the fuck was that? She looked around alarmed. Her father! Oh god, he'd come here!! He wouldn't hurt Jude, that was for damn sure!! Her eyes darkening, she raced out of the room and flung the door open.
"Steph!! What-what the fuck happened?!"

"I'b okay," she told the girls. "Judst, sdupid." What she'd actually done finally caught up to her, but she refused to let herself feel ashamed. The other girl had started it, not her. She'd just been fighting back. She took Deirdre's hand and hauled herself up, using her other hand to steady herself against the wall.

Jude felt like she could do with some violence.

Deirdre cast a worried look to Jude and then lead Slink into the kitchen, sitting her down on the booth at the breakfast nook.
"I can go run and get the first aid kit. We can clean you up, okay?" She trotted off, sighing to herself. Now she had two people to take care of and no idea how to do it. Goddammit.

All this thought of violence was distracting her nicely.

Deirdre re-entered the room and saw Jude holding some paper towel that had been against Slink's face. It was quite bloody. She grimaced.
"I have disinfectant wipes. They sting, but.." she shrugged and placed the kit on the table, fetching the wipes. She held them out for Steph to see. "Do you want me to do the honours?" She looked carefully over Slink's face. She had only halfway heard the explanation of what happened.

Thwump Stephie sat down quite abruptly on Deirdre's doorstep. She hadn't meant to, one minute she was pretty much keeping upright, the next she'd sitting on her heels contemplating the door. I could just sleep here for a bit. That'd work. Yeah...
'Cept she didn't think it was really that brilliant an idea. Stephie reached out and banged a couple of times on the door, then leaned back against the dooframe, her eyes closed to stop them going AWOL again.

Deirdre ran to Jude. "No I-...I didn't..." she swallowed. You never could tell what people thought on these topics. They were personal. "I didn't know..."
Thwump
What the fuck was that? She looked around alarmed. Her father! Oh god, he'd come here!! He wouldn't hurt Jude, that was for damn sure!! Her eyes darkening, she raced out of the room and flung the door open.
"Steph!! What-what the fuck happened?!"

Stephie looked up at Deirdre, kinda sheepishly. "I bink I boke by bose."

The door distracted her slightly from her panic and she followed Deirdre down the passageway quickly.
When she saw her friend all bloodied she sucked her breath through her teeth. "Slink!"

"Jesus. I think you did too." She went out onto the stoop and bent down to the girl.
"Do you think you can move inside?" She offered Slink her hand.

"I'b okay," she told the girls. "Judst, sdupid." What she'd actually done finally caught up to her, but she refused to let herself feel ashamed. The other girl had started it, not her. She'd just been fighting back. She took Deirdre's hand and hauled herself up, using her other hand to steady herself against the wall.

Jude stood out of their way so Deirdre could bring Slink through the house. "What did you do?" she asked her. Something in her itched and she said, "Need any revenge carried out?"
Jude felt like she could do with some violence.

Deirdre cast a worried look to Jude and then lead Slink into the kitchen, sitting her down on the booth at the breakfast nook.
"I can go run and get the first aid kit. We can clean you up, okay?" She trotted off, sighing to herself. Now she had two people to take care of and no idea how to do it. Goddammit.

Jude leaned in to look at Slink's nose. "That's nasty looking," she said, making a face. "Who broke your face? They need their own broken in exchange?"
All this thought of violence was distracting her nicely.

"Judst some girl, we had a disagrebent." Stephie gave Jude a wry half smile. "I tink I bight have broken her rib so I tink were even." She bit her lip (very lightly) and looked worriedly at Jude. "Copper showed up, at the end."

"Ah," she said knowingly and looked around the kitchen for something to- aha, there. She grabbed some paper towel and dabbed the side of Slink's forehead. "Good thing you got out of there before you got caught." She smirked a little. "You broke her rib? Good job."

"Lucky you've got Deirdre then, huh?" She could hear the redhead's footsteps in the hallway and backed off from Slink a little to let Deirdre do her job. "Speak of the devil."

"And she'd bake a horrible devil." Stephie grinned at Deirdre. She was just waiting for someone to tell her she was stupid. Any minute now...

Deirdre re-entered the room and saw Jude holding some paper towel that had been against Slink's face. It was quite bloody. She grimaced.
"I have disinfectant wipes. They sting, but.." she shrugged and placed the kit on the table, fetching the wipes. She held them out for Steph to see. "Do you want me to do the honours?" She looked carefully over Slink's face. She had only halfway heard the explanation of what happened.

Deirdre scowled at Jude's remark. Everyday she wanted to kill Jude's father just a little bit more.
"You poor thing, Steph. Why do people always decide to pick fights with you? Honestly.."

"Godda pretend that question was rhetorical, I tink." Stephie told Deirdre. Then swallowed a yelp at the sting and turned it into a violent hiccough. "So what were you guys doing before I so rudely interrubded?"

"Jude's weird like dat." Stephie said. She was about to point out that Deirdre was a horrible liar, but it was obvios that whatever they were hiding was to do with Jude and... not now.

Deirde = not the best liar.
Jude looked over and smiled at Slink. "bwonies?" she asked, playfully mocking the way Slink was having to speak at the moment and then smiling wide.

Deirdre laughed nervously. "Ha. Ha. Ha. Anyway, Slink, I do think your nose is broken. You might have to see a doctor if it makes it hard to breathe. Did you get hurt anywhere else I need to mop up?"
