Chapter 19

Had I Known How To Save A Life

Disclaimer: I don't own anything…I don't own "Jesus Take The Wheel". The song is owned by Carrie Underwood and her record company and writers. Also, I'll be jumping straight into the flashback, picking up where I left off.

Just A Refresher of last Chapter…

"Jude, come here…"

"What?" He didn't speak again; instead he pulled her around to the other side of the island, and pulled her down to the floor.

"What's going on?"

"Shh…Jamie's out there…" They heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen.

"To---" He clapped his hand over her mouth, as Jamie pulled himself up on the counter.

"Get up Quincy's…"

Jude and Tommy stood up.

"I've been waiting a year for this…."

What can I say…It was the beginning of the worst night of my life...

Jude stood behind Tommy, her eyes suddenly became glassy.

"Oh, don't worry Jude…I won't hurt you…I intend to have my way with you….first…."

"You won't lay a hand on her."

"Shut up, Little Tommy Q…You have no say in this…"

"Jamie, be rational…if you're going to shoot anyone, shoot me…"

"Why? I mean, yeah, it's your fault that Jude and I aren't together, but Jude is the one who refused me…"

"I'm the one who told her to testify against you in court." Tommy lied.

"You did not…"

"Yeah, I did….I told her a jerk like you should be in jail…"

"Shut up Tommy…"

"No….In-fact, I think that you should've been in jail long before that…God only know what you did your past girlfriends…Oh, that's right, you only had one other one…"

"Shut up!"

"No….that's right….it was Kat….And I vaguely remember her leaving not long after she broke up with you…and then….oh that was right, she help Jude testify against you in court…"

"SHUT UP!"

Jamie stormed out of the room, only for a second, but long enough for Tommy to turn around and tell Jude something.

"My cell phone is in my pocket…take it out, and text the police…"

"Now?"


"YES!" He was whispering, but yelling at the same time. Jude tried to make it oblivious that she was using Tommy's phone, but Jamie couldn't really see her behind him, so it wasn't that big of a deal…

Jamie stormed back in the room, just as Jude finished texting the police.

"Alright, move it, Quincy, or the bullets in this gun go straight through your head…"

"No…" Tommy stood his ground, as Jamie lifted the gun.


"Tommy, maybe you should move…"

"No, Jude…I've done this before….Hey Jaim, why don't you take a seat…let me tell you a little story, cause I'm not moving…take Jude's ice cream and enjoy it….it's melting anyway,….shouldn't let it go to waste….I'll tell you about the time my father held a gun to my head, and told me that if I didn't move, he'd shoot me, and then kill my mom and sister…."

"Tommy…"

"Shh…" Jamie still stood with the gun raised.

"I'll give you one more chance, before this gun goes off…"


"Take your chance, Andrews,…I'm not moving…"


Jamie turned his head and Shot!

Jude let out a scream and Tommy let out a small yelp. The shot had pierced his upper arm. Blood began to soak through his long-sleeved shirt as Jamie turned around.

"Like I said, Andrews, I've done it all before." Tommy fought through the pain and shook his arm around, taunting Jamie.

"You wanna try again? You might have better aim…"

Jamie came around the other side of the counter, but Tommy turned so that Jude was still behind him.

"Closer range…it'd be really hard to miss me now, Jaim…Wanna test those odds?"

"SHUT UP QUINCY!" He got up in his face, and pointed the gun at Tommy; the nozzle on Tom's forehead.

"Go ahead…do it…What can I do to stop you?"

Jude grabbed a knife off of the counter, and slipped it into Tommy's hand. He took and held it up, showing Jamie.

"Seems my wife thought we should have a fair fight…"

Tommy flipped the knife back and forth, and then looked to Jamie.

"But," he dropped the knife to the floor, and kicked it to the side with his shoe.

"I don't need a fair fight…I can beat you with my own two hands…because like I've said….I've done it before…"

Jamie pulled the gun back, and Tommy took this as his chance. He grabbed the gun, and shoved it to the side. Then, he proceeded to kick it out of Jamie's hand, before getting behind him, and attempting to put him in a choke hold, but his injured arm, disagreed with this maneuver, and pain shot down his arm. Jamie got away from him, and pointed the gun at him.

"What're you gonna do now Quincy?"

"Fight you…"Jude stood her ground, glaring at him.


Jamie turned to Jude.

"What did you just say?"

"I said fight you…that's what we're gonna do…or did you forget that I married Tommy….you see, that make's Quincy, my name too…."

"Jude, shut up!" He put the gun up to her heart, and put his finger on the trigger.

"Tell me….Tell me you're gonna fight me, now Jude…" Tommy heard sirens in the distance, and knew he only had to fight Jamie a bit longer.

"You shoot her, I swear, the police won't even get here before you're dead."

"You gonna stop me? You're nothing more than an ex boy bander who didn't make it…"

Tommy walked over to Jamie and slapped him across the face. It wasn't much, but gave him enough time to get beside Jude, and the gun away from her chest.

Though Tommy quickly did this, Jamie still thrust the gun back up, and this time, pointing it at Tommy. Everything after that went nuts.

Jamie heard the sirens in the distance.

"You didn't…."

"I did…When you left the room…."

Jamie put the gun up again, and turned his head away.

"Jamie, NO!" Jude jumped in front of Tommy, who turned her as the gun went of 3 times….

Seconds later, cops stormed through the door, and cuffed Jamie….
