Prologue
I look up, at the roof. I see him, I see Jude.
He's singing… 'All you need is love.' I see him looking around…
Looking for me.
I have to get over there. I have to get up there and see him again.
I ran up to the doors but a cop pushed me back. "I need to get up there!!" I screamed.
"The roof is closed." He said tonelessly.
I looked around, but I couldn't see any way to get up there.
I finally made my decision, and rushed to it. I sprinted across the street, pushing people in all different directions. I flung my head up and saw Jude, turning from the microphone, ready to leave. "Jude!!" I yell at the top of my lungs, but he can't hear me over the crowd who has started singing along.
I rip the door open and sprint up the concrete stairs. I run as fast as I can, maybe too fast, until I see the end of the stairs. Then I run faster.
I can't really remember much other than that. I remember falling. Not down the stairs, but I fell hard. I stood up; knowing I probably broke a lot of different things, but ran again for the door.
Everything was swinging. Back and forth to the music. I couldn't see straight. I couldn't see the door anymore. I just kept moving forward, until I finally stumbled on the roof, looking around for Jude.
He looks over and sees me. He smiles brightly, and I see his eyes filling.
My eyes fill too, not only the joy of seeing him, but the pain from my head.
What happened?
I reach my hand up to brush the hair out of my face, and hold my head a bit. It hurts so much.
He looks over the edge, and sees the cops. I see his mouth form the words 'Lucy' but I can't hear him. It's just pounding.
I blink, and everyone is off the stage. I swallow my fear. "There's something wrong with me." I whisper, and my voice echoes out for miles, it seems. I close my eyes and yell in pain.
All of the sudden, I feel Jude's strong arms wrap around me.
"Lucy!!" I hear him yell, and his voice echoes too. He laughs a bit and picks me up, spinning me in circles and circles…
He lets go and I close my eyes in pain. My head is spinning, spinning…
"Lucy?" He asks, and his voice is louder than ever.
I put my hand up to my head and feel blood. I take it from my head and look at it, a little scared.
"Lucy." He whispers, horrified. And then he starts yelling. "I need help!! I need a doctor!! Help!!!"
I take a look at him, close my eyes, and start falling.
Jude runs over to me and catches me, supporting my back. "Lucy?? Lucy?!?"
"Jude." I whisper, opening my eyes just a little.
"Lucy…" He's crying now. "What happened?" What happened, Lucy?"
"I love you, Jude." I whisper, seeing black edge the corners of my eyesight.
Jude shook his head. "You aren't going to die, Lucy." He whispers, tears dropping from his eyes and onto my arms.
"Tell me… tell me that you love me." I manage to spit out.
"I need help!!!" Jude yelled again.
"Say it." I whisper again.
Jude looks through my eyes. "You are going to be okay, Lucy. Everything is going to be okay."
I shook my head, as the black corners started filling up. "Please, Jude."
He looks out on the street, and then back to my eyes. "I love you." He whispers.
"I love you." I whisper back, and then the black fills in my eyesight and I feel my eyes close.
