Tommy couldn't believe that she was pregnant. She had never told him. Maybe she never realized it. But then again, what girl doesn't know when something's wrong with herself. Tommy couldn't control himself. He had to get away before he did something stupid. He ran to the nearest place he could think of. He had driven Shelbi home earlier when she started to get tired. She was the nearest person he could think of, and she did say he could come over if he needed to crash or to talk, so he drove over there. After about 20 minutes, he arrived at her house.

Scene: Shelbi's House
Tommy had been at Shelbi's house for about an hour. He was on the couch watching T.V. He started dozing off. As he slowly fell asleep, Shelbi just sat there watching him. She couldn't help staring at Tommy. How he looked so peaceful asleep. He looked so hot just sleeping there. "Tommy?" Shelbi asked cautiously. She immediatly regreted waking him up. "Yeah?" Tommy asked groggily. Shelbi coudln't help it. She had to. She couldn't control herself. She walked up to him, and kissed him with all her might, and to her surprise, he kissed back. They both knew they should stop, but neither of them did. Finally after a good 2 minutes, he pulled away. Everything had finally sunken in. Sadie, Jude, Shelbi. He couldn't do this. He couldn't hurt Jude more than he already did. As he looked at Shelbi, he did the same thing he did to Jude, he made her promise that it had never happened. Shelbi looked at Tommy as if she were going to cry, but she knew why he was doing it, he loved Jude more than anything and even if he wouldn't admit it, everyone knew.
Shelbi: Tommy, I know you love Jude. But I was just curious, why were you with Sadie?
Tommy: Because she balckmailed me. She threatened to tell Jude why I was really going to the States.
Shelbi: And that was why?
Tommy sighs: Fine, it was becuase my ex-girlfriend turned out to be pregnant. I decided the right thing to do was to get married. But when you called, I had to cancel it all.
Shelbi: Oh, I'm sorry. Wait, just wondering, was your ex-girlfriend's name Melanie?
Tommy: Yeah, why?
Shelbi: No reason.
Tommy: Ok, I better go then, I need to go check up on Jude.
Shelbi agreed, and Tommy left. As soon as he left, Shelbi called her sister. "Mel? It's Shelbi, just wondering, are you pregnant?"
---------------------
Tommy had been driving for hours. He couldn't go back to the hospital snd see Jude after he had just kissed one of her friends. He just couldn't take it all, and the only thing that could calm him down was his blue Viper and the long stretch of road that lay before him. He had a lot to think about, Shelbi, Sadie, Jude, Melanie. One pair of sisters, two friends, he had screwed them all. Tommy felt so disguested with himself. He needed to get his mind of things now. Tommy turned on the radio. No sooner than he did, he heard the one song he didn't need to hear right then and there. As Jude's voice came over the speakers, he coudln't help but think about how the song had fit him perfectly. Altough Jude wouldn't admit it then, he knew it was about him. He pulled over to the side and listed intently to the song.
You said you didn't need me (but you did)
You said you didn't want me (but you do)
It's kinda like a comedy
Well first you kiss me
Then you say we're through
I say you got some issuses (yeah, you do)
Some things you gotta work through (really do)
It's sorta like a talk show, no wait a freak show
When the freak is you
I'm the smoke from your fire
I'm that guy you can trust
I'm the cord on your guitar
I'm that girl you can't shut up
I'm that blood you might need
In your car way in your speed
In that cigarette you breath
You can't get rid of me
You said I wasn't funny (but you laughed)
You said I couldn't drive fast (then you crashed)
Funny how it works out
With your big mouth
You'll always get it back (ha ha ha ha)
You thought you had me worked out (you're not deep)
Mr. I Screw About (You're still a creep)
At best you could've confessed
That you're a big mess
And that you're so damn weak
I'm the smoke from your fire
I'm that guy you can trust
I'm the cord on your guitar
I'm that girl you can't shutup
I'm the blood you might need
In your car way in your speed
In that cigarette you breath
You can't get rid of me
But still, I try and justify
Try to let this die
We'll never say goodbye I can't wait
I'll rub it in your face
Dressed in pretty lace
I'll send you home, to cry
I'm the blood you might need
In your car way in your speed
In that cigarette you breath
You can't get rid of me
Yeah, yeah
Can't get rid of me
----------------------------
Tommy couldn't help but shed a tear. He could hear all te hurt in her voice. He remembered the day she had written it perfectly. It was the day he had told Jude that he was dating her sister. He couldn't believe he had hurt her so much. He had never meant to. Tommy pulled back onto the road and drover to the hospital. He needed to tell Jude about all this. His mind was so full of thoughts that Tommy didn't hear or see the speeding Big Rig comming right at him.
---------------------
Scene: Jude's House
Sadie was so mad. She couldn't believe Tommy had lied to her. Just to help her sister! She thought Tommy had really loved her, not her sister! Sadie couldn't control her anger. She threw a picture of her and Jude at the wall. She watched in delight as the frame's glass shattered in pieces. Just like what Sadie had wanted to happen to Jude's life. "Jude Harrison, you will pay for this. And I will have Tommy aagain, no matter the cost," Sadie said evily with a smug smile on her face. She set off for the hospital, but not before cleaning up the shattered glass and placing the picture carefully back onto the nightstand.
--------------------
Scene: Shelbi's house
Shelbi was talking to Melanie. Her sister. Shelbi couldn't believe everything that had happened. She kissed Tommy Q., the guy her friend loved, the guy who was her sister's own Ex! He could possibly even be her sister's baby's father, and she had just kissed him! She needed to straighten everything out between them. So she did the only thing she could think of. She called Mel. She hadn't had any contact with Mel since she had moved to the States ten years ago. Last she had heard from Mel, she was getting pretty serious with some singer she had met on the road while he was on tour. She snappen out of her thoughts as she heard Mel's voice.
Shelbi: Mel? It's Shelbi, just wondering, are you pregnant?
Melanie: Hell no, where'd you hear that? Some tabloid I guess, isn't it?
Shelbi: Well no, I kinda heard it first hand. Hey, you were serious with some guy named Tommy Quincy right?
Melanie: Well yeah. Wait a minute, what's up with all the questions? You suddenly call after, what, ten years? And just start asking me questions about my private life? What gives?
Shelbi: What gives? What gives? Here's why. She tells about what's going on with Tommy and Jude That's why, are you happy? Now will you just tell me if you're really pregnant or not?
Melanie: Well, no I'm not. I just said that to get Tommy back to the States and away from that Jude girl.
Shelbi: Hm..that's what I thought. You need to tell Tommy, Mel.
Melanie: I dunno, I might, or not. It depends on what happens with Jude.
Shelbi: Ok, but I still think you should. Listen, Mel, there's something you should know about what happened with me and Tommy a couple hours ago.

Scene: The Hospital
Jude had just woken up from her coma to the sound of a monitor beeping. She panicked a little and was confused, but then she realized everything that had happened. Suddenly, all the thoughts of what had happened with Tommy and Sadie came flodding right back. As she remember everything, she had to hold back tears. She remembered how Tommy had hurt her so much. She had to get rid of these thoughts. She shook her head in hopes of getting the thoughts out, but it didn't help. It just hurt her more. Suddenly, Dr. Lambert came in. "Jude! Welcome back!" he said enthusiastically. "Eh, it's good to be up, but it hurts to think," she said truthfully. "Well, you just got out pf a coma, that's what happens!" he said exclaiming. But then his voice became serious,"Jude, I don't know if you realized these two things. One, you should be glad you have a sister like Sadie, she saved your life by giving blood!" He said happily. "Sadie? Sadie Harrison? I doubt it!" she said with a flood of emotions toward her sister. "Yes, Sadie Harrison," he said with a chuckle, then he continued,"The other thing you should know is that...well...you were pregnant at the time of the poisoning. I'm really very sorry to say this, but you suffered a miscarriage. You lost your baby. I'm so very sorry," he said with his voice full of sorrow. Dr. Lambert walked out of Jude's room just as Jude's eyes began to fill with tears once again.
