Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. Here's the next part. Oh and the neighbor, if you hadn't noticed at "Sam's birthday", there was a neighbor, Adam, and that was his brief appearance. ;) Enjoy
Chapter Twenty-four: Shout
Everyone in the G Major family is crowded in the waiting room of Toronto Memorial's Intensive Care Unit, waiting to hear word on Sadie. I was in shock as Kwest stopped the recording of our final song for our second album. Apparently, she'd been driving to meet up with a potential investor in the label, but along the way a drunk driver struck the driver's side at an intersection. The car, meaning Sadie's, slid about six feet and collided with a light post. I know all this because I overheard the cop talking to her fiancee, Kwest.
It's been a few hours since he and the doctor walked back to her room. No one has spoken a word - I'm not sure anyone knows what to say. We all just sit together in silence, comforting one another. Ever since Jude's disappearance, we all have seemed to get closer. That is except Sadie and Kwest, they kind of have iced Squinty out, which I find quite rude because he's hurting just about as much as the rest of us - if not more.
"What room is Sadie Harrison in?" A recognizable voice asks out at the nurses' station. My head raises at the sound and my first instint is to get up and run to see if it is her, but I wait.
"Only immediate family can see her, you can wait in the waiting room with the others - there seems to be a crowd for Miss Harrison." I can't take it anymore, I race to the door. I see long black hair and a black pea coat. Nothing like Jude would wear.
"I'm her sister." She insists and the nurses mouth opens in surprise.
Beside her is a taller male with sandy blonde hair, his arm is around her side protectively and she is leaning in towards him. "Room 3b, hon." The nurse tells her and as she turns to walk away our eyes connect, but she quickly looks away. It can't be...she disappeared a while back when she was driving to her ranch house. They'd presumed her dead! Yet, I still can't help but believe that it's her.
"Jude..." I whisper, falling back into the plastic chair in shock.
