My Saving Grace

No, I'm Sorry.

"I'm sorry to have worried you Jude." Timothy said, as he gently rubbed her back, and tried to soothe her so she would stop crying.

Jude was still having throat problems due to the heavy medication she was given at Briarcliff, but she was starting to become very good at showing her emotions so Timothy would understand what she needed.

Timothy knew what he had signed himself up for when he brought her out of there. He had put her through this mess, and he planned to get her out of it. He loved Jude in a way he wasn't allowed to due to his morals, God, and the church. When he left the church, he left it for good.

Timothy had to start all over again, he had a large home that was privately owned. It was gated, and there were security guards on the outside of the gates. Timothy's family was exceedingly weathy, he himself didn't make a big deal of it, he was given a nice home with eight empty bedrooms, a big kitchen, medium sized living room, a nice yard, an outdoor in ground swimming pool, and a nice garden. There were staff members, but Timothy felt best if they were releaved of their duties, because he wouldn't live in the house for long, until he met the love of his life of course.

Jude had no idea that Timothy had money, she just knew that there was an anonymous donor that would help Briarcliff here and there, until it was bought out by the state.

Jude looked around, she was so confused, her hair a mess, throwing a fit in the back of her head. It had been two months since she left Briarcliff Manor, and she had began to regain her memories that were lost over time due to the electroshock therapy.

Timothy had retaught her to read, and write. He retaught her how to take care of herself, and do things on her own. He had a grand piano downstairs, in the living room, it was quite magnificent he taught Jude to play. Timothy didn't know that Jude used to sing, she had a lovely voice in fact.

A couple of months with Timothy Jude started to regain her voice, and learned how to play the piano. Her first song she learned was "You've Really Got A Hold On Me", by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. It was one of Timothy's favorites because Jude really had a hold on him, whether she knew or not.

"Oh Judy, look at you my love!" Her mother cooed, as she held her newborn in her arms. She had delivered her own daughter into this cruel world herself. Jude's father wasn't a very good one, so her mother left him. He had money, but she knew he was bad news for the both of them. Judith was her mother's name, Judith  Anne-Marie Martin. Judith named Judy after St. Jude, the Apostle. St. Jude is the Patron Saint of Lost Causes. Judith would read scriptures to Judy every night when she got home from work. Judith had to work five jobs to keep up with the bills, food, and to buy her daughter little things here and there. Sometimes she snapped at Jude, because she was always tired, she rarely ever slept, trying to give Jude the best future she possibly could. While Judith was at work, she hired a nanny to take care of Jude. Her name was Falton, Falton Davis, she was a lovely well-dressed light completed lady that stood about five foot six inches tall, she had a slender build, but her heart was pure gold. She cared for Jude, brushing her hair, cooking her meals, playing dolls with her, bathing her, and even tucking her into bed some nights. Judith saw their connection, and she wished she could have the same bond with Jude, but she needed to work hard for what little they had.

Jude was now twelve years old, she had started going to Catholic school at three years old. She had already read the bible over fifty times, she was tired of being the same old good girl she always was, but she knew she owed it to her mother, because of all she's done for her. Jude had graduated all grades at the top of her classes, girls were frowned upon in school, but what good would a nun be without good preaching? Jude had wanted to become a nun since a very young age, but Judith wanted grandchildren some day, so she tried to push Jude in another direction, for her own sake.
