Tommy: Can you move it? (Points toward ankle)

Jude shakes her head afraid that if she opens her mouth she'll begin to cry. Tommy picks her up one arm below her knees and the other across her upper back. She put her arms around his neck, but she wasn't worried he would drop her; she trusted him completely.

Tommy: We should take your car or the mustang so she can lie across the back seat. (Said to Vick)

Vick: sigh Lets take my car.

Tommy walked out the door towards the car. Vick opened the car door and Tommy placed Jude gently in the back seat. Vick plopped down on the driver's side while Tommy climbed in next to her.

They arrived at the hospitable in no time. Tommy picked Jude up like before and carried her into the ER. In a little while the doctor came out.

Doc: Jude's going to be OK, she's broken her ankle. Some nurses are putting her in a cast right now. We're going to give her some crutches to walk with. Other than that she should be fine. I suggest she takes a couple days off from school and work, but Jude says she needs to work on a song. So maybe someone could go to the house and work with her instead of having her go to the studio.

Vick sighed then looked at Tommy.

Vick: That should work

Tommy: I could come and work with her tomorrow if that's OK? (Said to Vick)

Vick: Yeah that's fine (said reluctantly)

Doc: Good all settled! My daughter just loves Jude! She's got a great voice!

Tommy and Vick both smiled and nodded in agreement.

Doc: Jude should be out in a minute.

Vick: OK thanks

A little while later Jude hobbled over to Tommy and Vick. Tommy smiled, and picked her up again, Jude smiled also.

Jude: Why thank-you Mr. Quincy

Tommy: Anytime Girl, anytime

They got in the car and drove back to Tommy's house. He got out of the car and they drove away. Tommy tried to open his door.

Tommy: shit! I locked myself out!

Tommy dialed Jude's cell number.

Jude: Hello?

Tommy: Hey Girl can you guys come back?

Jude: Why what's wrong?

Tommy: I kind of locked myself out.

Jude laughed and asked her mom to turn around.

Vick: Why?

Jude: He locked himself out.

Vick: What can we do about it?

Jude: He gave me a key (said nervously)

Vick sighed and turned the car around.

Vick: A house key is a big deal Jude

Jude: Yeah I know… It's a long story.

Vick: whatever I don't even care

They arrived in Tommy's driveway, Jude jumped out of the car. Tommy smiled at her as she ran towards him with a key in her hand. Another car pulled up the driveway. A tall, dirty blonde woman stepped out. She had a micro mini on with this little cami and big, black sunglasses. The woman ran up to Tommy and hugged him. Tommy smiled.

Tommy: Long time, no see

Woman: ha, ha very funny

Jude: I should go my mom's waiting

Tommy: oh! Jude, Maddie, Maddie, Jude (said pointing from girl to girl)

Maddie: Hi Jude nice to meet you

Jude: You too

Jude leaned towards Tommy and kissed him.

Jude: bye Tommy, bye Maddie

Jude ran to her mom's car and told her that she would take the mustang. Jude and Vick drove away while Tommy and Maddie walked into his house. Jude felt nervous she didn't trust this Maddie chick even though she did seem genuinely trustworthy… wait that didn't make sense… maybe it was Tommy she didn't trust?
