Chapter 4-
Jude and Pure finished in the studio for the day, content with the fact that they'd finished another song. They were going to wait until tomorrow to record it though. Jude picked up her bag and told Pure that she was gonna walk home today. He understood and left her alone in the studio. She sat there a little while longer, looking around at everything. She was trying to find the pen she left here a few weeks ago. Now, it was an ordinary pen, and normally she would have just left it, but she didn't want to go home. No, she didn't want to walk out into the lobby and possibly face Tommy to GET home. Finally she just left, hoping she wouldn't see him on her way out. Unfortunately, she did see Tommy, and he was getting ready to leave as well. He put on his sunglasses and started out the door. Jude picked up the pace to beat him into the street, even though for the first few blocks they went the same way. She glanced back once she was in the road and watched him get into the viper. She used to ride that viper home. How much she missed it.
Finally, she was far enough ahead of him that she couldn't see him. She walked steadily, humming to herself the new tune that she and Pure had made up. Thoughts of Pure weaved in and out of her brain. He was good for her, she felt it. Suddenly, a silver car honked its horn behind her. She whirled around and saw it coming up fast. She didn't think she'd have time to just get out of the middle of the street. Her heart raced. Without thinking she just took a dive to the side, feeling pressure on her left leg when she landed. She yelped out in pain.
"Get out of the road!" The passenger yelled as the silver car drove past. She looked down at herself. She was all muddy now. She tried to stand up, but her leg gave out and she was forced painfully back.
"What the---?" She was crying now, the pain was so bad. She couldn't stand. All she could do was sit there helplessly.
And then the blue viper pulled up beside her. It stopped in the road, and Tommy rolled down the passenger window, staring at her like she was an idiot. All she had to do was look at him with those tear stung eyes and pouting lips, and he instantly got out of the car. She shook her head, wishing he would go away and somebody else could find her. Anybody, even a child molester, just not Tommy. Her stomach churned when she felt his hand on her shoulder. She wanted to be with him so bad, but she couldn't anymore. She didn't want to make this any harder on her. She wanted Pure there beside her. She didn't want Tommy to help her and then leave her again. Finally, he opened his mouth to speak. His voice pierced her ears. It's been a while since she heard his kind voice. The times that she'd talked to him, his words were so cold.
"Jude...what happened?" He asked, trying to help her up. She pushed him away, falling to her side and screaming out in pain again. She gripped her knee tightly.
"Did you fall?" He asked. She nodded her head and kept on crying.
"I think it may be broken" She choked out.
"C'mon, get in the car" He said. She glared at him as if he were stupid. "Oh..right...here"
He pulled her arm over his head and picked her up bridal style. She yelped a little bit, her leg was killing her. He looked down at her leg and saw the dirt and grass stains smudged into it. He opened the passenger door and carefully placed her inside. He got in the drivers seat, and the whole ride to the hospital was silent. The only noise was her sniffling. When he tried to talk to her, she scoffed and refused to say anything back.
They got to the hospital and he carried her in. The receptionists saw, and they instantly brought over a wheel chair. She was placed in it carefully. Tommy handed her the clipboard and a pen so she could fill out her paperwork, and finally they called her name.
Tommy rolled her inside the check-up room behind the curtain. They asked her what was wrong, and she explained the whole situation. Now Tommy knew what happened. They took her temperature and things to make sure she was okay otherwise as well. They said she had to go in for an X-ray, and Tommy couldn't go in. She handed him her cell phone.
"Call Pure" She said. "Tell him I'm here. Then call mom"
"Nice order" Tommy commented
"Didn't ask you. Just call Pure first" She glared at him as the nurse rolled her away in the wheelchair. Tommy sighed and began looking through her numbers.
"Jude, sweetie, you need to put your leg up here" The nurse said. Jude lifted her leg and painfully put it back down. Tears started to dwell in her eyes again. The nurse took her leg and carefully pulled it up to the table. She clenched her teeth in pain. She then heard the flash of the X-Ray. The nurse then told her these next two X-Rays would hurt just a little bit. She carefully turned Jude's leg to the side. Jude's hands clutched the sides of the chair, making her knuckles white. Then another flash of the X-Ray, and her leg was twisted to the other side, and another X-Ray was taken. Finally, her leg was perched back onto the wheelchair and she exhaled heavily in relief. The pain was starting to go away now. They rolled her back out into the main emergency room, and told her to wait until the X-rays come back.
"Did you call?" Jude asked Tommy.
"Yep"
"Are they coming?"
"I told them I'll bring you home"
"So Pure isn't even coming!" Jude asked.
"Jude, give it a rest. Your leg might be broken and you're thinkin about your boyfriend."
"Yeah...well"
A few moments later, the nurse came back out. They took Jude and Tommy in the back and showed them the X-Rays. Sure enough, her leg was broken. It would take 2 months time to heal, but the pain wouldn't be as bad as if she'd torn ligament. That, they say, hurts even worse. She couldn't even imagine how. One part of her sighed in relief, and the other cried out for all the pain she'd suffer later.
"Relax, Ms.Harrison" The nurse said "We're going to prescribe you some pain killers and we'll even give you some free crutches"
Jude flinched when she heard the word "crutches".
"Great.." She said sarcastically, trying to sound enthusiastic.
They took her to a back room, allowing Tommy to go with her, but he had to stay outside of the room when they were putting the brace on her. They couldn't give her an actual cast until it was healed a little.
"Now Jude" The doctor explained "We have to re-break your bone into place...so you may go into shock"
"Way to say it like its nothin, doc" Jude said
"But we're going to give you a medicine, it's puts you in sort of an amnesia state, so you won't remember any of the pain."
"I won't remember?" She asked.
"not a thing. Well, of course, you'll remember enough, its not that bad. You just won't remember the pain, is all I can say"
Jude nodded her head. Tommy put his ear to the door. He instantly regretted that and moved his ear away when he heard Jude screaming on the top of her lungs. The doctor was trying to calm her with kind words but she kept on screaming. Tommy could hear the pain in her voice, well, the whole hospital could hear the pain in her voice. He clutched his own hand trying not to knock down the door and punch the doctor for hurting her, but he knew he was being stupid. Finally, they allowed Tommy in the room when Jude's voice ceased after a long period of time. He walked into the room and found her asleep on a hospital bed, her leg bandaged up into a brace. Brand new crutches lay next to her. She looked so peaceful now. The tear marks were still on her cheeks, so he rubbed her cheek lightly to brush them away. She ruffled her eyebrows and her eyes started to flutter. He stepped back a little. The doctor walked in front of him.
"Now she's waking up" He said. "Hey miss, do you remember your name?"
"J...Jude" She said, in barely a whisper.
"Do you remember where you are?"
"Yeah..where's Tommy?" Her head shot up, but the instant change in pressure got to her head and she felt like she was going to black out, so she layed back down.
"I'm here" Tommy assured, walking out from behind the doctor. She smiled weakly at him. He smiled back at her and gripped her hand. Today was his time to take Tina's advice.
"Now she's going to be groggy for a little bit, so be careful" The doctor said. Tommy nodded.
And FINALLY they let her out of the hospital. Tommy helped her in the car, she was fighting to stay awake. She looked down at her knee and snorted pathetically.
"Look at me" She laughed "I'm a mummy!"
"You are not a mummy" Tommy laughed back. He suddenly got serious and looked over at her. Her eyes were wide open now, as if she was never tired.
"Listen..Jude...about that fight we had..." Tommy began. He would try right now to apologize.
"What fight?" Jude asked. She doesn't remember...Tommy thought.
"Nevermind" He said. His eyes re-focused on the road. "How you feeling?"
"Tired, but good enough I guess. I'll never get the hang of these crutches"
"You will eventually."
They pulled up to the Harrison house. It was 11:30 at night. Jude leaned in to give Tommy a light hug.
"Thank you" She whispered in his ear. Suddenly, the memory of their fight rushed back into her head and she started to panic. She pulled away from him and opened the car door, throwing her crutches out. Tommy got out of the car and tried to help her, but she pushed him away.
"I remember our stupid fight! Okay!" Jude said, holding back fresh tears.
"Not okay...Jude..."
"I'm sorry my stupid leg forced you to help me and talk to me, won't happen again!" Tommy handed her the crutches and she took them, limping inside. Victoria walked out of the house and eagerly took her back in, helping her.
Tommy growled to himself and kicked the wheel of his viper. Then he got back in and drove home. Will she ever forgive me!
