Blueberry Blue

Chapter Ten

About a Month Later

You remember that rude front Jude put up? Yeah, still there. Tommy was getting tired of it, his patience was wearing. They started getting in petty little fights in the studio, yeah, they still worked together.

Jude and John were still dating, casually, but they weren't doing so well. They barely talked, most silences between them were awkward, and they never did more than peck each other on the lips and hold hands. Jude said she wanted to take things slow; things were still awkward for her.

They also barely said 'I love you' to each other anymore.

Jude grabbed the headphones and ripped them off her head, throwing them to the ground in defiance. "No! I am not singing the song again just so you cam hear it faster!!"

Tommy stood so hastily he knocked over the chair behind him. Kwest stood at the same time, but it was to run out of the studio.

Tommy watched him go and rolled his eyes. He grabbed the microphone button and yelled, "Jude! Do your damn job!!"

"Do yours and speed it up with one of the clips you already have!! I can't sing it any better than that so stop making me!!"

Tommy ran a hand through his hair frustrated, "Maybe this isn't a good song then. If that's the damn best job you can do?! Screw it!! Nix the song all together! It's over."

The words with spoken with such finality and the double meaning brought tears to Jude's eyes. She quickly wiped the tears and ran out of the studio. Tommy took a step to follow her, guilt crossing his features. "Jude!!! Come back!" He yelled after her.

Jude continued to rip her eyes as she ran out. With tears blocking her vision she missed the pothole in her path. She tripped and fell to the ground smacking her head on the concrete. She slowly sat up, holding her head and feeling the blood there.

"Jude! Watch out!" She heard multiple people yell. She turned her head just in time to see the front bumper of a car speeding at her. She instinctively brought her hands to cover her face but it was no use, the darkness surrounded her.

Tommy followed Jude out of G-Major just in time to see her trip. He saw her lying in the middle of the street and he broke out into a run, his voice escaping him.

He suddenly found it again when he saw the car speeding for her. "Jude!! Watch out!" He yelled, he heard someone mirror his words but he didn't care enough to turn around. The car smashed into Jude, dragging her under slightly, before throwing her a few feet. Tommy stopped briefly. Not being able to register this in his mind.

The driver peeked out of the window, looking at Jude briefly. Panic covered the strangers face and he quickly got in his car and drove away. A few people ran after him, yelling out his license plate number but Tommy was too engulfed in Jude. Lying helplessly on the floor, drenched in her own blood.

Sadie ran out after hearing the commotion. She ran over to Jude, tears in her eyes, she pulled out her phone and called 911. "911!! She fell! Her head is bleeding!"

Within minutes an ambulance could be heard. By now Tommy was rocking Jude's still bleeding head in his lap, still dazed at this moment. The EMT gently took Tommy's arm and brought him away from the victim as they called her. Tommy let himself be dragged around and then led to the back of the ambulance to go to the hospital.

Everyone who followed to the hospital was instructed to wait in the waiting room. Within minutes of the call, John was there too (he wasn't at the studio that day).

Tommy was sitting in the waiting room with everyone else. He couldn't lose Jude, he just couldn't. Not now, not ever.

Multiple nurses moved Jude into the ER. A female doctor walked out in scrubs, snapping rubber gloves on and putting a mask over her mouth and nose.

"Harrison, Jude. Hit by a car. She has a bleeding head and multiple gashes all over, we don't know of any broken bones or internal bleeding. We almost lost her in the ambulance. We have a suspicion on a collapsed lung."

The doctor nodded and started her work. The monitors around her started to go crazy. "Move faster people! We're losing her again!! Get some transfusions in here!"

With the chaos going on in the operating room, two men stood above them in the viewing room with crossed arms. "Paul, I'm torn."

A tall man with long shaggy brown hair, and dark tanned skin, looked at the blonde haired man. "What do you mean?"

The blonde turned to the man named Paul, "I love her, and I want her here."

Paul turned to him, "I know, but Reid. It's not her time."

Reid looked down and nodded sadly, "She'll be okay, won't she?"

Paul looked at Reid and nodded, "She will. I can tell. Plus she has us watching over her."

Reid looked up and smiled sadly at Paul, "I guess so. And I'll be damned if I let anyone hurt her."

Paul looked at Reid and smirked, "Yeah, it's a shame about what happened to that asshole that hit her."

Reid shook his head, "What a shame." He muttered before floating through the walls and into the operating room. He floated through the madness and stroked Jude's cool cheek before kissing it softly.

He gently placed his transparent hands on her still cold chest; he looked up at Paul who had floated down after him. "It's going to take both of us to save her."

Paul nodded, "I know, that's why I couldn't save you."

Reid looked up at Paul shocked but he was looking down at his baby sister and putting all his concentration on saving her. Reid brushed his comment off before focusing on Cherry, and saving her. Their hands glowed.
