Chapter 9- Tommy's 911
Jude was awakened by a nurse shrugging vigorously on her shoulder.
"Sweety we need you to leave the room come on hurry!" The nurse cried. Jude stood up, her sight blurry, as she was not fully awake yet. She noticed about 6 doctors and nurses in the room, and she quickly gained full conciousness.
"What's going on?" Jude questioned.
"Can't explain now just go!" Jude was forced out of the room and the door shut. She stuck her ear up to the door and heard the surgeon giving orders.
"We need more oxygen and another IV!" the doctor ordered. Jude was shocked and wondered what was going on. She could hear the heart monitor beeping, but it was racing. Was Tommy having some kind of a heart attack? Jude began worrying and tried to peer through the window of the door but all the doctors were in the way. Suddenly she heard the doctor giving more orders and she heard that the racing beeps had become one long beep.
"NO! TOMMY!" Jude shrieked from outside. She couldn't help but collapse to the floor crying. "Tommy no! Don't die!" she wimpered.
"CLEAR!" She heard the doctor yell, and off went the electric machine that helps revive a persons heart. "One more time, CLEAR!"
A few more seconds went by, and Jude listened carefully to what was going on. She was shivering uncontrollably and tears were filling her face. Finally, she heard the heart monitor make one more beep. She felt her heart skip a beat in relief. She took a heavy sigh and listened at the wonderful noise of Tommy's heart beating at a normal pace. She stood up when she heard footsteps coming toward the door. They opened the door and began wheeling Tommy out of the room. Jude could see he was still asleep.
"Tommy! Tommy! Is he gonna be okay?" She asked.
"We need to put him in solitary care." The nurse replied.
"Why! What happened?"
"One of his nerves was torn in his neck, and the bullet had lodged into the juggular vein. We got the bullet out yesterday but the vein was leaking and there was little chance it was going to heal. He began to drown in his own fluid but we got him up for now, he's unconcious but we'll take as best care as we can. I'm afraid you need to go home."
"Can't I stay here and help comfort him?" Jude asked.
"No, sweety. You can't see him anymore. If you're going to visit him you'll have to stand outside this glass window here and look in."
"He's gonna be in one of THOSE!" Jude knew that Tommy would hate that more than anything.
"We have to take better care of him. He could die if we don't watch after him twenty-four-seven."
"And I can't even talk to him."
"he's unconcious." The nurse insisted.
"But what if he snaps out of it?"
"Then we'll have to wait and see if his vital signs are any better. Right now he isn't doing to well. Go home"
Jude took one last look at Tommy before she turned and ran for the elevator. She waited until she was outside the hospital to cry. She said a small prayer in her head. She waited for her voice to clear up befor she called a cab in. Her hands were still shaking uncontrollably, as were her legs.
"You okay?" The cab driver asked Jude. She didn't reply him. She just nodded her head and sniffled, wiping the tears from her eyes. She looked at the clock. 4:23. Sadie would be home by now. The cab stopped. Jude noticed they were now in front of her house. Jude slipped the man the money and got out of the vehicle, stretching as she got out. She wiped her face one last time and proceeded up the steps. Sadie opened the door before Jude could even get to the door. She was holding a newspaper in her hand.
"Tom got shot!" Sadie questioned. Jude looked away. "And you didn't tell me!"
"Sadie it's been a long day, I don't wanna talk." Jude responded.
"Tom Quincy, of the 90's hit boy band, 'Boys Attack!' Was shot in the left shoulder just yesterday about 2:40 PM. The police arrested James Halliwel, a high schooler, for being at the scene of the crime. There was no weapon found on him, but the police suspect he hid it somewhere else. James befriended Instant Star winner, Jude Harrison, only a few weeks before the incident." Sadie read aloud.
"SADIE I KNOW THE DAMN STORY!" Jude snapped. "I'm gonna go find something to do" Jude was shocked to hear that they arrested Jimmy, but she didn't want to show it now. She didn't care who did it right now she just wanted Tommy better. Jude ran up to her room and slammed the door shut, falling onto her bed in histerical tears. She was seriously fearing for Tommy's life. She felt so helpless. He was suffering and there wasn't a thing she could do about it.
"My voice cracks as I'm saying goodbye
you're only words are "it's not goodbye"
I cant hear your voice in my head
I can only see your body lying there on the bed
and I can't see your face in my dreams
and I want you to know that I'm there.
Don't pity me cause I'll pity you more
My words are the truth
Believe them, believe me
You're the one I'll ever need
Can you hear me now?
In this foggy place we call home
stories always lie but this is for real
I can't stand to look at you
tell me how you feel..."
Jude slipped into her pajama's and into bed, even though it was still only 5:00. She turned all the lights out. There was no way she was sleeping now, but she lay there in the darkness, breathing deep breaths and trying to calm down. She was freezing but there was no air on in the house. She knew it was her nerves. As Jude lay there thinking about everything that was happening, she tried to figure out what she could do for Tommy. In her mind, there was nothing she could do. But she knew there had to be something. There was ALWAYS something. And she wasn't even about to give it all up.
As the rest of the day slipped by, Jude's depression had conquered her. She wanted to go back to the studio with Tommy and make everything okay again. She wanted everything to be the way it was. Was it really Jimmy who shot Tommy? Would he really do that? Jimmy... Jude thought. She wanted to go back to school on Monday and see that everything was fine and Jimmy was there, not in jail. Jude went into the bathroom where her and Jimmy's project was being kept, and she threw it on the floor. She shattered the bits of glass that held liquid inside and destroyed the cardboard that was the base of it all. She wanted everything she had ever done with Jimmy to go away and Jimmy himself, too, so that maybe Tommy would be standing beside her now. She thought of how he was fighting for his life in the hospital, and how he must feel to be facing death and fending it away for so long. How long can he do this for? How long will he survive? Jude screamed and felt herself slide to the bathroom floor against her will. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed. Sadie ran upstairs and looked in the bathroom. Her eyes grew wide at the look of the mess and her baby sister crying there on the floor. Sadie walked over to her and sat next to her, rubbing her sister's shoulders in reassurance. Sadie then felt a tear go down her face, but not nearly as bad as Jude's.
"Jude he'll be okay"
"I can't lose him Sadie"
"I know, I know"
"You don't know" Jude looked up at her sister. She could tell in her eyes that Sadie was oblivious to everything Jude felt. "I...I love him Sadie" Jude was reluctant to say. Sadie sat in silence and shock. She knew her sister LIKED him, but did Jude really mean that she LOVED him? Did she even know what love meant?
"Jude I'm sure you don't..." sadie began, but was interrupted.
"NO SADIE JUST STOP!" Jude forced herself off the floor and ran to her room.
"Jude!" Sadie ran after her, but was stopped as the bedroom door was thrown into her face. "Jude let me in!"
"I never want to talk to you again!" Jude screamed. A feeling of hurt overcame Sadie. She stood behind her sister's door with nothing to say, but Jude knew she was still there.
"Hurts, Doesn't it?" Jude questioned, her voice toned down. "Those were almost the same words you said to Tommy. Too bad I didn't mean it." Sadie suddenly felt washed in guilt. Jude opened her bedroom door and looked at her sister, who was now crying. Jude wrapped her arms around Sadie's shoulders in an embrace.
"Guess you're music will have to be put on hold" Sadie said. Suddenly, it hit Jude. Jude finally knew how she was going to help Tommy.
"Sadie could you go to the hospital tomorrow and visit Tommy for me?" Jude questioned, and hated the fact that she did. "I have to go to the studio"
"well yea, but why?"
"I'm going to make my new CD."
"You're going to make a CD in a time like this!" said Sadie
"Believe me, it's what Tommy wants." Jude smiled. Sadie mimiced her.
"Alright. You should go to sleep. It's 9."
"Early..." Jude said.
"Not if you're going to the studio"
"And when are you going to sleep?"
"When I feel like it"
"Same goes"
"Whatever" Sadie giggled and walked toward her own room. Jude shut her bedroom door and flopped on the bed, taking out her notebook. This time she would make at least 2 songs before sleep.
"Dare me to move
Away from this fear I hold for you
Push me away
and never let me see what you are
Living in danger and stregnth gone away
I know this I know you and I know what I mean
when I say
You're my everything
If you feel like you're breaking
I'm crumbling with you
Don't ever think I'll let you fall
Without anything to fall on
Emotions torn up inside I know it too
I know this I know you and I know what I mean
when I say
You're my everything...
Oh, You're my everything..."
This was a piece to Jude's first song. Suddenly, A new idea popped into her head and she instantly set this one aside. She knew she had to get these feelings out before she went mad.
"You broke my trust
you tore my heart apart
you took the card I played
And ripped it in two
and you took away the thing I hold most dear
Well how does it feel to you when you hear
You lifted my faith
and brought down the pain
You tried to repair what you couldn't fix
You were caught in a game
only played by ear
and this is what you fear
Losing me tonight
If you think I'll let you get away
with what you've done to me
You're goin' down
with every breath
you're nearing what I have for you
Come here, let me show you
I'll do exactly the same to you
I'll show you my pain and my heart
in restore of what you took from me
And you didn't even care
And if you loved me wouldn't you want
me to be happy
and if you wanted me wouldn't you wish
I was right there
You pushed me further
further away
you broke me
you broke you
you broke everything."
