Chapter 4.
Tommy drove to Montreal general hospital as soon as he got off the phone. He drove as fast as could while still staying under the speed limit. The last thing he needed was to be stopped by a cop on his way to see Jude. Tommy made it and he ran to the front desk.
"Hi what room is Jude Harrison in? She was in a car accident." Tommy asked as he was out of breath.
"Let me check sir." The receptionist replied calmly. Tommy was tapping on the counter impatiently as the receptionist looked at her computer.
"She is in surgery right now, but if you would like to wait with the rest of them they are in the waiting room three floors up." She told him with a sweet smile.
"Okay thank you mam." He thanked her and then made his way to the elevator. Tommy walked towards the waiting room and he saw Jamie, Zeppelin, Sadie, Spied, and Karma all sitting there looking scared and impatient. Jamie looked up and saw Tommy standing there looking like he was about to faint.
"Hey man I'm glad you got here." Jamie greeted him calmly.
"How did you all get here so fast?" Tommy asked with confusion.
"Well we came as soon as we heard and we've been here awhile Tom." Jamie explained.
"Why didn't you call me right away?" Tommy asked angrily.
"I thought you knew already since she had come to see you. When we got here and I realized you weren't here I called you. I'm sorry I did the best I could. We are all just as worried as you okay?" Jamie replied indignantly.
"What happened?" Tommy asked as his voice broke and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Jude had apparently pulled over and a drunk driver lost control and hit her head on. I'm not sure why she didn't see them coming. She has severe head trauma and her lung collapsed, which is why she is in surgery right now. The other driver died instantly" Jamie explained sadly.
"Good or I would have killed him myself!" Tommy replied angrily as a tear fell down his cheek.
Jamie just gave him an agreed look in response.
"Tommy I'm so worried." Sadie said as she pulled him into a hug. Tommy broke down right there. He began to cry on Sadie's shoulder.
"You know what? Jude's a fighter Tommy. If I know her she will be up and running like this had never happened." Sadie said reassuringly almost as if to convince herself as well.
Tommy broke from the hug and took a seat across from everyone. He hated hospitals and he didn't care for any company. He sat there looking at the ground as he waited. He wiped his tears ways as if they had never fallen. Being vulnerable was uncomfortable for him.
Kwest came walking through the waiting room. He eyed Sadie and pulled her into a hug.
"I'm so sorry sweetheart." He said as he stroked her back.
"Thank you for being here." Sadie replied as she buried her face in his shoulder. Karma and Spied were sitting there holding hands as they also waited and Jamie and Zeppelin were sitting there together all waiting in silence.
"Did anyone call her father?" Jamie asked to break the silence.
"I called him. He is flying in from Rome on the soonest flight available. He should be here by morning." Sadie explained as she and Kwest took a seat. They all sat there again in silence. It was the most uncomfortable and solemn room any of them had ever been. The doctor finally entered after two excruciating hours of waiting.
"Doctor is she okay? Can we see her?" Sadie asked as she urgently jumped to her feet.
"She just came out of surgery. The surgery went well and we were able to repair her collapsed lung. She will still be unconscious for awhile. She suffered severe head trauma so when she wakes up her memory will be very fuzzy with a lot of holes in time for her. So please be patient." The doctor explained.
"Can I see her?" Sadie asked.
"Family only." The doctor replied sternly.
Sadie thanked the doctor and then made her way to Jude's room. The rest of them sat back down as they waited for Sadie to go see her and give them an update.
"Doctor is there any way I could see her tonight?" Jamie pleaded.
"You will all have to wait until the morning." The doctor replied as he then walked away.
"Damn it!" Jamie replied with frustration.
"Its okay babe, we will be back first thing in the morning." Zeppelin said reassuringly.
Jamie and Zeppelin then left to head to a hotel as did Karma and Spied.
"Hey Tom, are you okay man?" Kwest asked as he took a seat next to a very still very quiet Tom Quincy.
"After last year I thought my heart was the most broken it could be but this Kwest this is unbelievable. I feel like my heart has been broken into a million pieces and then shredded into more broken pieces. I have never been so broken in my whole life." Tommy replied as he fought back tears.
"She will be okay man. It's Jude she's not going anywhere." Kwest said sweetly.
"No Jude and I will never be okay again. She always gets hurt when she is around me. Why do I keep doing this to her? Why do I keep hurting her?" Tommy asked bitterly.
"Tom this is not your fault man, you can't possibly think that." Kwest replied incredulously.
"Isn't it always?" Tommy replied as he got up and walked out.
The next morning Jamie and Sadie were in Jude's hospital room as she woke up for the first time. She stirred a little and the opened her eyes slightly.
"Jude? Hey it's Sadie. How are you feeling?" Sadie greeted her sweetly.
"What happened? Where am I?" Jude asked with confusion.
"Jude sweetie you were in a car accident. You were in surgery for eight hours and they had to repair your lung because it collapsed. You also have some head trauma so you probably don't remember it." Sadie explained cautiously.
"Where's Tommy?" Jude asked groggily.
"I don't know he didn't show up this morning." Jamie replied irritably as he took her hand softly.
"Why wouldn't he be here? Why wouldn't my husband see me in the hospital?" Jude asked with tears in her eyes.
"Husband?" Jamie and Sadie both replied in confusion.
"Sweetie he isn't your husband. What are you talking about?" Sadie asked her.
"Yes he is! We got married last year Sadie! Where is he? I need him now!" Jude demanded angrily and confused.
"The doctor said she would have a fuzzy memory. She must not remember what happened last year. I will call him." Jamie said as he got up to go use the pay phone.
"Jamie is going to call him okay. Just relax Jude, Tommy will be here soon." Sadie reassured Jude as she handed her a glass of water.
"Tom you need to get your ass down here now! How dare you not be here for Jude after all you have put her through?" Jamie demanded in to the phone.
"Listen kid you have no idea what you're talking about. She wouldn't want me there. None of you do so just leave me alone okay." Tommy responded dejectedly.
"Tommy she thinks you two are married and she is freaking out that you are not here." Jamie replied bitterly.
"What the hell do you mean married?" Tommy asked confusedly.
"She can't recall the past year and she must think your engagement went through. Look I know stuff with you two is never peaceful but she needs you now and if you care for her at all you will get your ass down here." Jamie replied impatiently.
"Fine I'll be there as soon as I can." Tommy said and then hung up. A half an hour had passed and Tommy was still not there. Jamie paced the waiting room back and forth waiting on him.
"He'll
be here Jame. He loves her." Zeppelin told him reassuringly.
"He
better!" Jamie replied angrily. Just then Tommy walked into the
waiting room with flowers in his hand.
"Nice touch Quincy." Jamie greeted him with annoyance.
"Well I better act like good husband if that's what she thinks I am." Tommy replied softly as she made his way into her room. He walked in and saw that she was sleeping. His heart sunk at the sight of her with tubes in her nose and a bandage around her head. Seeing her hurt killed him inside. He placed the flowers on her night stand and then took a seat by her bed. He wiped the hair from her forehead and kissed it gently. Jude stirred at his touch.
"Tommy?" Jude said as she woke up.
"Hi baby it's me. I'm sorry I wasn't here when you woke up. I was out getting you flowers. I got you lilies your favorite right?" Tommy said as he looked at her lovingly.
"Thank you, I love you so much." Jude replied as she moved to face him more.
"I know you do. I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this. I never want to see you hurt like this." Tommy said as he took her hand.
"I was so scared when I woke up and you weren't here. You're my rock Tommy I need you." Jude replied as she took in a deep breath. She began to look at him intensely. When her eyes scanned down to their hands her looked was confused.
"Where are our wedding rings? Also why are we in Montreal? What happened to London? I am so confused Tommy. What happened?" Jude asked with confusion.
"Jude, babe I know this is all really confusing and I promise I will explain it all to you, but first you need to get better okay?" Tommy replied as he tried to convince her.
"As long you're here that's all I need." She replied sleepily as she closed her eyes.
"Jude you just rest okay. I will be back later I promise." Tommy said as he kissed her hand gently.
"You promise you will be back?" Jude asked as she nodded off.
"I will be here." Tommy replied as he got up to leave.
"I love you Tommy Q." Jude called after him softly.
"Yeah, sleep well." Tommy replied as it was all he could say.
Tommy stepped out of her room and took a deep breath. It was so hard for him to act like her husband and not let it get to him. He looked up and saw Sadie and Jude's father arguing with this lady in a suit.
"What's going on here?" Tommy asked.
"This is Molly Jude's manager. She has come to see Jude and we are trying to explain Jude's state of mind and how seeing Molly could screw up her recovery." Sadie replied irritably.
"I just saw her and she doesn't remember much. She thinks we're married. She remembers London but I don't think she will remember you so please give her some space." Tommy asked calmly.
"Here's my number please call me when she has recovered." Molly replied as she handed him her card.
"Will do." Tommy responded with a half smile.
"Thank you Tommy." Steven said to him as he then made his way to Jude's hospital room.
"I need to get some fresh air. Please keep me updated. You have my number." Tommy asked Jamie.
"Yeah I will." Jamie replied shortly.
Tommy made his way out of the hospital and when he got in his car he had to take several deep breaths and calm himself down. He had come to Montreal to escape her and now he had to act like her husband. It was almost too much for him take………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
