Chapter 12

Flash to Jude

Images of Tommy, his dimpled smile, his eyes that could burn a whole through your heart from his burning passion, his lips so soft you get lost in his lingering kisses aching for his tongue to find its way inside, those strong arms that you always found comfort in even when he was the cause of your pain, flashed through her head and slowly faded.

Flash to Tommy

An echo of the last words he would hear: Fight for her…She loves you…What will she do without her soul mate?

Doctor (1): Time of Death eight thir…

Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep

Doctor (1): He's stabilizing. Vitals are normal. I don't know how it's possible, but he's out of the woods for now.

Sadie TTH: I have to tell Jude.

She ran back to the phone: Jude he's ok. He's still unconscious, but his heart is beating again. Jude? Hello? JUDE? TTH: Where is she? Why did she leave in the first place? We all know she loves Tommy, so what would make her leave his side when he needs her the most?

Flash to Jude

Tommy's voice in here head becoming faint: Angie? And the sound of his voice was erased from her mind.

Stewardess: "Ms. Harrison, Ms. Harrison?"

Her eyes fluttered open and she tried to take a breath with very little air passing through her lungs.

Stewardess: "Are you ok; is there anyone you'd like us to call?"

Jude: "No, I don't have anyone."

Stewardess: "Are you sure?"

Jude: "Yeah, I feel like I do, but I…I know I don't," she said very convinced this was the truth.

Stewardess: "Do you know where you are, who you are, where you're going?"

Jude: "Yeah my name's Jude Harrison. I'm going to Scotland to"…she paused not quite remembering why she was going there. "I think I live there. I'm not sure why I was in Toronto."

Stewardess: "Ms. Harrison you live in Toronto. Do you know who you are?"

Jude: "I just said I did."

Stewardess: "I think you should see a doctor."

Jude: "Why? I feel fine."

Stewardess: "Because I just had to give you CPR."

Jude: "Really!?"

Stewardess: "Yes you were on the phone with someone and you passed out" pointing to the airplane phone that had been trampled by the slew of people that rushed to help her.

JTTH: Well I'm sure whoever I was talking to knows where I am. Wait who would I be talking to? I…know my name and I know the exact place I'm going to in Scotland, but that's it. I don't remember anything from my past.

Jude looked to see if she had a cell phone that could contain the names of anyone she might know, but was unable to find it, in all the commotion the phone had been dislodged from her pocket.

Jude: "Ms. you said I live in Toronto, why did you say that?"

Stewardess: "What? You're Jude Harrison. You're a singer from Toronto."

Jude: "I am?"

Stewardess: "When we land you really need to go to a doctor."

Jude: "Ok?" she said almost scoffing at her, but knew she should at least get checked out.

At Edinburgh Hospital

Doctor: "Well other than not remembering your past you're fine. I really suggest you go back to Toronto to get back your memories. It seems like you have selective amnesia. Seeing her confused expression This is when an overly traumatic event causes the brain to suppress the event, to protect itself from the overwhelming emotion that accompanies such an event as well as suppressing the other factors involved in the event. Apparently things form your past may trigger the memory of this event and/or emotion so your past too has been erased. Most of the time, the only way to get those memories back, from past experience with this kind of amnesia, is to be around that which you have suppressed in hopes that your mind will allow you to remember."

Jude: "Actually I think I'll stay. I was coming here for a reason. And the fact that the only thing I do remember is where I'm going must mean something right?"

Doctor: "In my medical opinion you should return to Toronto, but that's really your decision Ms. Harrison."

Flash to Tommy, Sadie returning to his room curious as to when he would wake up so he could go find Jude. If anyone knew where she was, he certainly did. But more importantly Sadie just wanted the love of her life to be ok. She knew he belonged to Jude, but that didn't mean she didn't still love him. She saw Kwest and Darius who looked as if they had just been told Tommy died rather than just being unconscious.

Sadie: So how long until he wakes up?

Doctor: "There's nothing more we can do for him Ms. Harrison. He's breathing on his own and he's stable, but he is in a coma, and there's no way to tell when or if he'll wake up. We're monitoring his heart and brain waves for any change, but it's really up to him. I'm sorry," she said with true remorse in her voice for the news she had just delivered.

Sadie burst into tears with Kwest and Darius looking helpless to do anything for their friend as he laid there with machines and wires covering his body.

Sadie to herself: "Jude where are you," she whimpered.
