Chapter One: Everything Changes

Today had been like any other day, except for the fact that Jude had been feeling a little sick. She was feeling like this for a while, but just figured it had been the flu. It was winter time, so it was to be expected.

When Jude walked in she saw Sadie sitting ate her desk. She walked over to her with a smile on her face.

"Hey Sades, how are you doing?"

"I've been great. Kwest and I have been trying to decide where to go for our one year anniversary. I'm so excited!" Sadie stated with a sparkle in her eyes.

Jude started to cough uncontrollably.

"Jude are you alright?" Sadie asked with concern written all over her face.

Once Jude stopped coughing, she answered her sister. "Yeah, Sadie, I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little under the weather."

"Well you should go and see the doctor, because that cough sounded anything but fine."

"You worry too much," Jude stated. Then she realized the glare that her sister had been giving her. Then Jude continued, "But, if it makes you feel any better I'll make a doctor's appointment."

Sadie smiled, happy to know that her sister had followed her advice. "Thank you, that would make me feel much better."

Jude walked into Studio B and opened up her cell phone and called her doctor's office.

"Hello, I need to make an appointment. My name is Jude Harrison."

The receptionist sounded as though she were in her mid-40's. She had a polite tone to her voice.

"Okay, let me see," responded the receptionist while she searched for an opening. "We have an opening for 5:30 p.m. today, is that alright with you Ms. Harrison?"

"Yes, that would be fine, thank you." Jude then hung up her phone.

A Few Hours Later….

The day had gone by pretty fast for Jude. Darius was understanding when Jude told him that she needed to leave work early to go to the doctor.

Jude had been sitting in the waiting room for about 15 minutes when a nurse opened the door that led to one of the rooms.

"Ms. Harrison?" called a nurse who appeared to be in her early thirties. She had light brown hair and green eyes. She looked about 5'6 tall.

"Hello, my name is Amanda. Why don't you take a seat right there," she said pointing to a large brown chair.

Once Jude was seated the nurse started to ask her questions. "So what symptoms have you been experiencing?"

"Well lately I've been experiencing stomach aches, I've been extremely tired, and I've been coughing a lot." Jude said while Amanda jotted a few things down.

"Sounds like a case of the flu, but to make sure everything is alright I'm going to take a blood sample, okay?"

"Okay," Jude said hesitantly. She had never been one for needles. Truth is, they scared the crap out of her.

Amanda smiled at Jude's uneasiness.

"Don't worry Jude. It's not that bad. I promise," Amanda said reassuringly.

Once Jude's blood had been taken, Amanda said that the doctor would come in shortly to discuss the test results with her.

Forty-five minutes had passed and Jude was still waiting to hear the test results. Whenever doctors or nurses said "shortly", the wait would be anything but short.

Jude sat there trying to convince herself that everything was fine. The longer she waited the more scared she would get.

Finally, Jude heard a slight tap on the closed door. The doctor walked in and shook her hand.

"Hello, my name is Doctor Schwartz."

Doctor Schwartz had salt-and-pepper hair. He looked pretty dark considering it was December. He was slightly built. He had a weird look in his eye. It looked as though it was pity. Pity for what… her?

"We just got the test results back, and it seems I have some very upsetting news."

Jude felt her heart sink.

I hoped that you all liked it. Please tell me what you thought, whether it was good or bad. Thanks for reading :)
