Jude left the room and got Dr. Danvers. When she knew Tommy was finally all right, she called everyone to informed them about Tommy. Everyone as in Darius, Sadie, Pixie, Kwest, Georgia and Kat. They all came in a hurry; even Kwest. The whole gang came in no time. Sadie was balling her eyes out. Tommy wasn't waking, the medicine Dr. Danvers gave him knocked him out cold. Darius was trying to comfort her, while Pixie and Kwest just stood there watching Tommy sleep. Jude was in the bathroom trying to get the courage to go back into the room. She really didn't want to see Sadie. But she had no choice. Jude exhaled sharply before pushing the bathroom door open and went to Tommy's room. When she got there, Sadie didn't say a thing to her, she just looked at her. Nothing evil but in appreciation. Appreciating that she called Sadie and told her about Tommy being in a accident. Some people wouldn't do that, especially the ones who had an affairs behind their fiance's back. Jude nods at Sadie, saying she understood. Sadie sniffs, looks away from Jude to Tommy.
Hours passed and visiting hours were up. Everyone left, saying their own goodbyes to Tommy before leaving. The next morning Jude got up early and went to see Tommy. She opens his door to see him sleep. She smiles at how cute he looked. Jude sat down in the chair by his bed and rubs his arm. Tommy felt something tickling his arm, his brows flutters in discomfort. His arms flinches under her hand and moves away. Jude laughs lightly and rubs his arms again, this time he woke up. His eyes slowly opens, Jude smiles as he groggy looks around. Finally, his eyes found hers. He knew those blue eyes anywhere. He smiles.
Jude: Hey, you. How are ya feeling?
Tommy: Sore. What about you?( He asks, raspy.)
Jude sighs: I'm not the one in the hospital bed. Don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine as long as you are.
Tommy nods: I can't help but worry about you. I love you.( Jude's breath got caught in her throat.)
Jude: I-I love y-you too.( She stammers out. Tommy smiles, feeling relieved. She loves him. He frowns, suddenly thinking about before.)
Tommy: Why?( Jude looks at him in confused.)
Jude: What?
Tommy stares at Jude intensely: You know what, Jude! Why? Why did you end us like that? Did I do something wrong? Please, tell me!( Jude sighs, feeling tears burning im her eyes. She shook her head before inhaling deeply.)
Jude: You didn't do anything wrong. You were perfect! We were perfect!( She tries to smile but fails terribly. Tommy saw right through it.)
Tommy shouts: What was the problem then?!( Jude jumps out her chair, startling Tommy and began pacing.)
Jude: Sadie! Okay, Sadie was the problem!( She shouts back, frowning.)
Tommy shakes his head: What, I told-( She cuts him off.)
Jude ran an hand through her hair: I know what you told me Tom!( He flinches.)
Tommy: Then, why Jude?
Jude: Sadie, she-she-( Jude trails off her sentence not wanting to finish. Tommy looks at her in explanation and worry.)
Tommy: She what? Jude talk to me...( Jude looks at him, ready to confess but Sadie's face pops into her head.)
Jude closes her eyes: I'm not that girl Tommy. I can't do it.
Tommy frowns, pushing himself up from the bed: But...I love you...you love me were supposed to be together.( He silently hissed, feeling the throbbing pain in his ribs. She was about to speak when the door opens, in came Sadie. Jude sighs in frustration.)
Sadie's eyes went big after finding Jude: Wow. You're here before me.( Her eyes wonders to the hospital bed and notices Tommy's awake. She smiles.) Tom!( She runs to his bed and kisses him. He doesn't response or take his eyes off Jude.)
Jude looks away: I should go.
Sadie stands straight and looks at Jude: Yeah, you should. I'm here now.( She rubs her hand up and down Tommy's arm. Jude bites her lip and nods. She leaves out without looking at Tommy. She walks down the hallway fighting tears. In the lobby, Jude sees Darius and Pixie. Pixie was sitting as Darius was standing, talking.)
Pixie looks over Darius and sees a familiar blonde: Hey Jude!
Jude smiles, sniffing back her tears: Hey.( She looks at Darius.) D, I can't believe you're here two days in a row.
Darius nods, chuckling: Yeah, me either. But I was actually about to go. I was just dropping Pixie off. She needs to know everything about her producer. What he eats, how he sleeps, even the color of his pee.( Jude winces.) They're gonna be spending a lot of time together.( Jude watches as Pixie rolls her eyes.) Hell, she should be giving him his medication!
Jude chuckles: I think she gets the point, D.( Pixie nods, getting out her seat.)
Pixie: Yes. Eat, sleep and pee. Your wish is my command, sir Darius!( She said with very heavy sarcasm. Darius notices.)
Darius: Why do you think I want you to know these things?
Pixie shrugs, offering Darius a small smile: Cuz the producer was on the toilet?( Jude laughs. Darius sighs.)
Darius: Ha, ha more jokes. No, cuz the artist and producer had a unbreakable connection; that know no one could break through. That makes the hits. So, you better find that connection!( He points at her for emphasis.)
Pixie nods and salutes him: On pee patrol, sir!
Darius shook his head: Whatever. Just make me some hits.( He leaves the hospital. Pixie and Jude bust out laughing.)
Pixie: Is he always like that?( She asks, holding her aching stomach from laughing so hard.)
Jude smiles: Always.
Pixie: How is he?( She asks referring to Tommy. Jude scratches her brow, shuffles her weight onto her right leg from her left.)
Jude: Uh, good. Real good.( She clears her throat and looks away from Pixie's piercing Hazel eyes.)
Pixie: It's okay, Jude. I know Sadie went in there.( Jude looks at her in surprise.)
Jude: You do?( Pixie nods, tucking an long, blonde piece of her hair behind her ears. Jude notices the tips were pink. She looks at Pixie's outfit and see she was wearing a hot pink tank with some white shorts and some open-toed pink sandles. Jude guessed she dyed her hair to match her outfits.)
Pixie: Yeah. I saw her walking down the hall towards Tommy's room, when me and D got here. ( Jude nods.)
Jude suddenly wanted to get to know Pixie: Hey, you wanna get outta here? Maybe get some coffee and hang out?( Pixie's face lite up with a smile.)
Pixie: Sure. That'll be great.( Jude smiles. They leaves Memorial Hospital in Jude's blue mustang.)
At Starbucks....... Jude and Pixie got a table when they ordered their coffees and paid for them.
Pixie: Jude, I'm not gonna cut any corners. I know about you and Tommy.( Jude's eyes got huge as her stomachs drops. 'Pixie knows?'.)
Jude: What? There's no me and Tommy. He has an fiance! Where ya get a crazy idea like that?!( She laughs nervously. Pixie laughs along, finding an nervous Jude quite amusing.)
Pixie: I'm not stupid, Jude. I know. Plus, I confronted Tommy and he admitted it.( Jude sighs, dropping her head into her hands.)
Jude: Stupid! Stupid!( She mutters into her hands. Pixie places her hand on her arm.)
Pixie: Jude, it's okay. I won't tell, I promise.( Jude lifts her head, her eyes meeting Pixie's.)
Jude: Really?( Pixie nods.)
Pixie: Really. I promise. Scout's honor.( She crosses her fingers. Jude smiles, feeling a whole lot better she wasn't judge and that she found someone she could trust.)
Jude: Thanks!( She said, softly. Pixie nods and smiles.)
Coffee Boy: White Mocha and Carmel Latte!( He shouts, sitting down two coffees on the counter.)
Pixie: That's us.( She got up and walks towards the counter, grabs their coffees and goes back to the table.) Here ya go.( She hands Jude her Tall White Mocha.)
Jude: Thanks.
Pixie nods: No prob.
Jude looks over her coffee at Pixie: You know, I'm glad we're friends.( She smiles.)
Pixie swallows her coffee and smiles: Yeah, me too.( They talked for the rest of the afternoon.)
Back at Memorial Hospital with Sadie and Tommy...
Sadie sighs: She's always around you, Tom.
Tommy shrugs, not seeing the problem: So?( He was sitting with his arms crossed, still pissed that Jude left.)
Sadie frowns, upset that Tommy wasn't getting it: So, you're never always around me!
Tommy sighs, shoving his hand roughly through his short, dark-brown hair: Sadie, look I have to tell you something-( Sadie cuts him off. He huffs.)
Sadie: Tom. I was thinking maybe, when you get out of here, we could go on a trip?( She asks him hopefully, giving him her best puppy dog look. Tommy sighs again, looking away from her. He hated that look. It didn't work on him but the look was just ugly. Very unattractive. But when Jude do it, he just can't help his self. It made his knees weak and his skin tingly.)
Tommy: Sadie...( He trails off, sneaking a peek at her and wished he hadn't.)
Sadie's eyes welled up with tears: Tommy. Just you and me...Please.( He looked at her fully and saw desperation and tears.)
Tommy: Fine.( He mutters, feeling defeated. How could he say no?)
Sadie smiles, so big; Tommy thought her face would rip: Great!( Tommy wanted to scream and yell at himself for being so stupid and weak. He should of said no! No! That's all it takes.)
Tommy sighs: Where uh...do you wanna go? (He asks, reluctantly. He wanted to punch himself for giving in.)
Sadie smiles, intertwining their hands together: Maybe a nice romantic getaway to your summer house...me and you...a bed...no lights.( She suggests, seductively. Tommy looks at their hands, wanting to groan but resisted.)
Tommy unfolds their hands nicely: Shouldn't we wait for our honeymoon for that?( He asks, lying. He didn't want to do it then either. Sadie huffs, crossing her arms.)
Sadie shot daggers at him: No! It's not like we haven't done it before! You-you don't wanna make love to me?( She asks feeling insulted, tears coming back again.)
Tommy thoughts: Duh, took you long enough! How can you make love to someone you don't love? Well, easy but not if your in love with someone that's not by your side right now. Damn, I miss Jude!
Tommy shook his head: No, it's not that. It's just I thought it would be more special, if we waited a bit before we did that again.( He said, right off the top of his head. He smiled to himself on the inside. Yeah, that'll work.)
Sadie uncrosses her arms and smiles: Oh that's sweet. But it will be special anyway, cuz you have me to do it with!( She points to herself, feeling proud. Tommy mentally rolls his eyes.)
Tommy:...Yeah....( He trails off, looking at the plain, white bed sheets that were over his legs.)
Sadie sees the distant look on Tommy's face: Tom! Are you with me?!
Tommy's head snaps up at her: Huh? Yeah. Love and all that.( He nods, frowning slightly; looking back down in his lap with the thoughts of Jude on the brain. Sadie rolls her eyes. But at least it was a start.)
