"Tommy?" Jude's wispy voice called out.
"Hey, you're awake."
"Yeah, I feel like I got run over by a train," she groaned. "What happened?"
"You don't remember?"
"Not really. I mean, I remember Jamie and I getting...oh god, he did it again didn't he?"
Tommy nodded. "Yeah, he did."
Kwest slipped out of the room in search of Sadie.
"Why does he keep doing this to me," Jude whispered to herself, raising her hand to her forehead to push her hair away, but winced in pain as she touched a gash above her eye. "Great."
"Hey, calm down a little alright? You had to have stitches, it's not a big deal."
"Yes it is Tommy. It's going to be in the tabloids now," she said as she started freaking out.
"Jude you have to calm down okay? Talk to me," Tommy pleaded.
"About what?"
"Anything you want. You can talk to me about the goddamn weather if it'll make you feel better."
"When I married Jamie I thought we'd be happy. We'd have a few kids, my music career would be good, but I would be out of the limelight. I never imagined anything like this would happen."
"I don't think any of us imagined this would happen Jude."
"I should have saw it coming Tommy! I'm so stupid!"
"No you're not Jude. This is not your fault."
"Then why does it feel like it is?"
"I don't know Jude. I can't answer that."
"I should have never broke up with you," she whispered.
"That makes two of us who think that then."
"Maybe I wouldn't be in this mess if I hadn't broke it off."
"Maybe, maybe not."
"How can you be so calm about this?"
"Because what am I supposed to say Jude? Yeah, if you would have stayed with me, you wouldn't be in the hospital? Do you really want me to say that?"
"No."
"This is all up to you Jude. You have to decide wether or not your going to leave Jamie, and you have to decide to press charges against him."
"If I leave him, he's just going to come back for me."
"You can stay at my place. I think I can handle Jamie Andrews."
"Thanks."
"One question though, do you love him?"
"I don't know. I mean I thought I loved him, but now I'm not so sure I ever did. I think it was the easiest thing to do at the time. I had just broken up with you, Jamie was still obsessed with me, and I acted on impulse, and now I'm being punished for it."
"Jude, I was so scared when I walked into your apartment and saw you lying on the floor," Tommy confessed.
"You were?"
"Yeah. I thought you were dead and that scared the shit out of me."
"Do you...I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to say it."
"Well that would be the smart thing to do."
"Do you still love me?"
"I..."
