Chapter 9
After they broke apart, Tommy was the first one to speak.
"It's getting late I should…." He was cut off by Jude interrupting him.
"Don't leave Tommy, the doctor said I have to stay the night so they can monitor me" Jude pleaded.
"I wasn't planning on it. I love you Jude, I don't want to leave you for a split second" At this Jude couldn't help but smile. She sat up and threw her arms around Tommy's neck and kissed him.
When they broke apart Tommy said, "I was saying that since it is late, I was going to go tell Sadie and Kwest that they can go home, and I will stay here"
"Much better idea" Jude said with a grin on her face. She kissed him again.
"I'll be right back" Tommy said after reluctantly breaking away from their kiss.
"Ok. Hurry back" Jude said.
Oh my G-d! He loves me, really loves me! Never in my wildest dreams did I think it could be true. I had always hoped that he would feel the way I do, and he DOES! Jude thinking to herself.
Meanwhile Tommy…….
"Hey guys, you can go home now. I'm going to stay here. Jude is fine. She just has to stay here for the night so they can monitor her. G-d forbid anything should happen" Tommy said instead of just saying hello.
At that last part Tommy cringed.
"Hey why should you stay? She's my sister!" Sadie fumed.
"She asked me too" Tommy said calmly, smiling at the thought.
"She did?" Sadie asked really surprised.
"Yeah she did" Tommy responded, a little taken aback at her tone of voice.
"Does that mean she confessed?" Sadie asked hopefully.
"Yeah" Tommy said and smiled.
"Well that is wonderful for you. Well could you tell Jude that we said goodbye, I'm getting kind of tired?" Sadie said then asked.
"Yeah of course" Tommy said.
"Well goodbye Tommy" Sadie and Kwest said in unison.
"Bye" He said when they were turning to leave.
"Oh and Tommy, make sure you don't break her heart. She would never and I would never, forgive you" Sadie said, leaving.
"That won't be anything to worry about. I don't plan on leaving her, ever" Tommy responded, mostly to himself.
He went back to Jude's hospital room and thinking to himself, She loves, she really loves me! I've dreamed that she would feel the same way as me but, I never thought it would happen. But it did, and she DOES!
He went into the room and told her that they left, and he sat down in a chair beside the hospital bed.
"Hey" he said to her.
"Hey" she said back as they kissed passionately(again!).
"Hey, um, would you want to go with me to the park tomorrow, before we go to G-Major?" Tommy asked her hopefully, again reluctantly breaking their kiss.
"Of course Tommy, I would go with you anywhere" Jude said smiling.
"Good" Tommy said also smiling.
They stared at each other, with their hands entwined, until they both fell asleep.
The next morning Tommy called Sadie telling her to bring Jude clothes and to take Jude to the park.
Jude woke up wondering where Tommy was, and saw Sadie, who told her where he was.
Jude got to the park, and said bye to Sadie, and saw Tommy with a beautiful picnic set up waiting for her.
She was in awe. She couldn't believe that he did that for her.
"Tommy, did you do this for me?" Jude asked going towards him.
"Yeah. Anything for you girl. I love you. No matter what, I would do anything for you" Tommy said giving her a hug and a kiss.
"I love you too, and thank you" She responded by giving him a hug and a kiss.
After they ate their picnic lunch, Tommy spoke.
"I have something for you" Tommy said taking a small black box from inside his jacket.
"I bought it after your 18th birthday but I didn't give it to you on account of we weren't together"
As you might have guessed, it was a ring.
"Tommy…" Jude stared at him questioningly.
"Jude, I have know you for 15 years. You have been my best friend through it all. Now that I realize I love you so much, will you marry me? Will you do me that honor?" Tommy asked the ultimate question.
Jude just stared at him, with tears of joy coming down her face.
"Yes Tommy, I couldn't be happier if I tried. I would love to marry you" She said with such confidence and with a smile. He put the ring on her finger and they kissed for a long, long time until they needed to breathe.
A/N: I know you were probably not expecting that but, I tried it out and I think it works. If you think the same way or you don't think so, REVIEW. Bye!
