Chapter 3: A wedding and a funeral
"I'm going to leave you here with her for a moment," Georgia said getting out of the ambulance.
"Thanks, Georgia," Tommy was able to choke out before he started to cry. He grabbed her cold, lifeless hand and just ran his thumb over the back of it. It was almost as if he expected her to wake up at any moment. "I thought I missed you when I had talked to you on the phone, Jude. That's nothing compared to this." He tried to smile for her. "You have no idea how much I care for you, Jude. I want to be with you more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. But I'm sure you understand, I'm sure you left that same way about me. Oh, hold on a minute." He let go of her hand and took a ring out of his pocket. He placed it on her ring finger on her left hand. "I was going to wait until you were old enough to wear this before giving it to you. I guess it's too late for that now, isn't it?" He tried to laugh. "One more year, kid, and we would've made it. We would've been able to get married, wouldn't we? One more year." He kissed her forehead before leaving the ambulance.
Georgia patted him on the back. "Doing okay?"
"I've been better…"
"I'd say so."
"Okay, let's move out!" The paramedic yelled. And with that, the ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars all drove off.
Tommy didn't say anything at the funeral. He didn't want to talk. Anything he said reminded him of Jude. Anything anyone said to him reminded him of Jude. Just everything felt so unreal without her around.
The wake was held at G Major. There was a poster of Jude that covered a whole wall of the lobby. People were walking around talking to anyone and everyone who knew her.
Tommy sat in the control booth, avoiding the crowd. He didn't want to see anyone. Not Jude's family, not anybody. He just wanted to see Jude. But he couldn't, she was gone.
There was a knock on the door that made him look up. "Hey, man," Kwest said entering.
"Hey," Tommy replied.
"How you doing?"
"How do you think?"
"Right."
"Sorry, man, I'm just a little tense."
"No, I understand. You're just upset and you don't feel like talking, I get it."
"But I don't mean to snap at you. Just anything reminds me of J- her."
"I know, it hurts." Kwest sat down in a chair across from Tommy and accidentally hit the control panel, causing music to blast from the speakers.
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with
you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just
temporary?
Kwest hit stop on the control panel and looked back up to Tommy. "Sorry, man."
Tommy was holding back tears. "No, it's okay." He leaned over and hit play.
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
What
just happened?
Did you kiss me?
Cause that's a place we've
never been until now
And I don't know how it's gonna be after
this
Do we pretend these feelings don't exist at all
Or do we
fall?
My confusion shows whenever you get so close
I
stumble, I stutter, forget what to say
I'm nervous, I wonder why
I'm acting this way
Chorus
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
Woah, oh, oh (insanity)
Woah,
oh, oh
You made a moved and changed your mind
Too much to
lose, you've crossed the line between friends
And something more
Was it all a big mistake?
And if it was, it's much too
late to undo
And I don't really want to
Let you go but I
still don't know
How I feel about you
What this really means
It's crazy to want you
Is it meant to be?
Chorus
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is
it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
It's
temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it
real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
Woah,
oh, oh (insanity)
Woah, oh, oh
Oh, what you do to me?
What comes over me, oh?
If this is crazy there's nothing I'd
rather be
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da
Da Da Da Da
Chorus
It's temporary insanity
What's
going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever
or just temporary?
It's temporary insanity
What's going
on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or
just temporary?
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing
my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
repeat till end
Tommy started to cry and Kwest bowed out quietly.
AN: Poor Tommy. Anyways, R&R!
