Let me just take this time to inform you that Alexa is somewhat phsyco, so don't be surprised by anything that may happen in this chapter.
Chapter 6: Who's Gonna Save Us?
Jude quickly looked to the door where the scream had come from. "What was that?" Tommy, on the other hand, instantly recognized the scream.
"Wasn't that Georgia?" Jude frowned.
"Yeah. I think it was. We have to go see what's wrong-- what if it's something serious?"
"It would have to be to cause her to scream like that." She glared at him. "Right. Let's go." They rushed upstaors to where they had heard the noise and saw Alexa lying on the floor covered in blood with a knife laying beside her. Her bandmate was sitting next to her trying to stop the bleeding, while Georgia was calling an ambulence. "What happened to my sister?" Yelled Tommy, who was rushing over to her side.
"I don't know. We were just coming over to talk to her and we found her like this. She must have done it to herself." Jude was shocked. She couldn't believe she would do that to herself.
"Why?" She thought about it for a minute, then something hit her. "Oh." Was all she could say before the paramedics rushed up to the body laying on the floor.
"What?" Asked Tommy, who had walked up beside her when the paramedics arrived.
"Tommy, was this the kind of thing you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Yeah. I was going to tell you that Alex has been a patient at a clinic for about 4 years now; she's pretty upset about the whole thing with her parents and she sometimes cuts herself. She even attempted suicide once. looks to me like this could be a second time."
"That's horrible."
"Yep. And the worst part is that last time it didn't work, and this time-- this time I don't know what's going to happen." He looked away from her.
"What?"
"We never really got along." He said slowly. Jude looked closely at Tommy, and saw something she never thought she'd see coming from him: tears were forming in the corners of his eyes. He really does care about her, she thought. "I might not get a chance to say i'm sorry." She put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"It's gonna be ok." He looked back at her.
"How do you know? My sister--"
"I know. Just relax, ok? i'll ask them how bad it is."
"Ok." Jude walked over to one of the paramedics. He looked at her.
"How bad is it?"She asked. They looked over to Alexa.
"Pretty bad. There are 3 wounds that we know of. On the plus side, she was found only about a few minutes after she did this, so we might have a chance of saving her life." Jude smiled. The thought wasn't promising, but it was enough to make her feel at least a little better. She went back over to Tommy.
"Hey. They said they might be able to save her life. She's going to be ok."
"Thanks." He paused. "I don't really want to talk right now."
"Ok. I'm gonna go. This is a little too mutch for me."
"Ok. Bye."
"Bye." She tried to leave the hotel to take a walk, but was swarmed by the press, who were already asking questions about Alexa. "Man, word spreads fast." She said to herself and left to go up to her room. When she got there, she saw a piece of paper sitting on her bed. She picked it up and looked at it. It was a note from Alex. She read it:
Dear Jude,
by the time you read this note, I will probably already be dead. Please tell everybody(especially my brother) that i'm sorry. I can't take this anymore. If it turns out this doesn't work again, please don't bring it up. This is my second attempt and will probably be my last. Goodbye.
Sincerely,
Alex.
Jude was shocked. She knew the truth. She ran out of the room and went to where she had left Tommy. "Tommy!" She yelled, running towards Alexa's room. She found him sitting in the exact same spot he had been. "Tommy, I have something to show you."
"What is it?" She showed him the note, and he read it over carefully. A look of shock came over his face, and he shook his head.
"Alex." He muttered.
"What?" He looked up.
"I kind of expected this. She did the same thing the last time she tried this. I didn't get a chance to look in my room, but apparently she left one for you." Jude sat down.
"Why would she leave one for me instead of you? You are her brother."
"She knows you. She knows you won't be mad at her for this, so she decided to tell you what her intentions were for herself. Hmm. That is just like Alex." Jude looked around. The paramedics had gone and had taken Alex with them, and the hotel staff was cleaning up the blood that was on the carpet, so people could forget about this. It's gonna take mutch more than that to make people forget this, she thought as she looked back at Tommy, got up, and left. This is way too mutch to handle right now.
A/N: Scary, I know. Sorry i've been leaving you hanging in my stories lately, but I can't really think of what to say right now. Plus, it does make the story slightly more interesting. Please R&R.
