Jude closes her dressing room door and turns Tommy around and pushes him against it. Before Tommy knows it, her lips are on his. Tommy automatically closes his eyes and puts his hands on her waist. They were standing so close Tommy could feel Jude's rapid heartbeat on his chest. Jude was trying to put all her emotions into the kiss. Hands travel up to his hair and she runs her fingers through it.
After half a minute they both break away from the kiss, not being able to form any thoughts. Jude takes a step back from Tommy and looks at him. Tommy wipes his lips and tries to think of something to say. Jude finds her words before he does.
"I…um…that was..." She just stops and sighs. "A thank you kiss?" Tommy asks, suddenly finding words. "Yeah…a thank you kiss…for the, the song." Jude says. Tommy nods his head, still not fully recovered from their passionate lust filled kiss. "I'm just…I'm going to go get the stuff back on the bus." Tommy says.
"And I'll get…changed." Jude replies. Tommy nods his head again and reaches for the doorknob, having trouble opening it. Once he finally opens it he walks out of the room and bumps into Speed.
"Dude." Speed says. "Sorry." Tommy says as he continues to walk, still in a daze. "Are you okay?" Speed asks. Tommy looks up at him and smiles. "I'm fine. I'm perfectly fine." Tommy says. Speed gives him a weird look. "Dude, I think you need more hours of sleep." Speed says. Tommy just smiles and looks at the dressing room door then smiles again.
Speed moves his head from Tommy to the dressing room. He smiles when he figures out what's wrong with him. "Ooh, I get it. Something just happened between you and Jude and now you can't think straight." Speed says. Tommy shakes his head. 'This kid is smarter than what he looks.' Tommy thinks as he begins to walk away.
"Well at least wipe the lipstick off your mouth, dude!" Speed says as Tommy continues to walk away. Tommy's hand goes up to his mouth. He wipes it then begins to unplug chords, still thinking about Jude.
Jude takes a seat on the stool in her dressing room. She looks into the mirror and smiles widely. She had butterflies in her stomach from thinking about the amazing kiss she just had. It was defiantly the best one out of all four in her book. She puts her fingers up to her lips and smiles again as she continues to think about the kiss and Tommy.
Thirty minutes later Tommy rounds up SME and leads them back to the bus. Jude meets them at the door. Tommy glances at her and smiles, then turns his head and gets on the bus. Jude smiles at herself and follows him on the bus. Speed and Kyle and Wally look at each other and roll their eyes and smile as they get on the bus.
They all gather around in the front of the bus and talk about the concert, doing the same thing they did after every concert. Jude and Tommy sit on separate ends of the couch and listen to Speed and Wally's jokes. After a bout an hour and a half Speed's jokes were even getting on Jude's nerves. She sighs and thinks of an excuse to leave the room.
"I have to go to the bathroom." Jude says as she stands up. "Dude really didn't need to know that." Speed says. "You would have asked anyways." Jude replies as she walks down the hallway. Tommy smiles to himself and shakes his head. Kyle looks at Tommy and smiles.
"Dude, why are you smiling?" Speed asks Tommy. "No reason." Tommy says. "Yeah…right. And why were you looking so out of it earlier? What really happened in that room?" Speed asks.
"Yeah I have been meaning to ask you about that." Kyle says. "Nothing happened. She just…thanked me." Tommy says. 'That's not completely a lie.' Tommy thinks. "I'm sure she did." Wally says. Kyle gives him a high-five and laughs. "Dude she had to do more than that. You were really out of it." Speed says.
"Like I said before, all she did was thank me." Tommy says. He glances to his left and sees that Jude had left her cell phone. He reaches for it and grabs it and stands up. "Where are you going?" Speed asks. "I've been meaning to make a phone call." Tommy mumbles as he makes his way to the back of the bus towards his room.
When he gets inside his room he dials a number that he didn't even know existed. He listens as the phone rings and rings and sighs when no one answers. He shuts the phone and puts the antenna against his forehead. After a few moments he flips it open it again and redials the number. He continues to redial for about five minutes before he gets mad and throws the phone on the floor.
"Quincy, why are you against people having cell phones?" Jude asks as she walks in and sits down next to him on his bed. Tommy just shakes his head and sighs. "Want to hear my new song?" Jude asks. Tommy shrugs. "I'll just take that as a yes." Jude says as she grabs the guitar that was in Tommy's room.
Tommy bends down and picks up the cell phone again as Jude begins to play. He half pays attention to her as he begins to dial the number again. Jude, who was looking down at the guitar the whole time she was playing, didn't even notice the fact that Tommy wasn't paying attention. When she finishes playing she sees Tommy close the phone loudly.
"Did you like it?" She asks. "Like what?" Tommy asks, with the antenna to his forehead. "You wasn't even listening were you, Quincy?" Jude asks with anger in her voice. "I head your stupid song!" Tommy snaps suddenly. Jude shakes her head and grabs her cell phone from him and storms out of his room.
Tommy sighs loudly and flops back on his bed. He rubs his eyes then massages his temples as he thinks about how he had just snapped at Jude. He hadn't mean to snap at her, he was just upset because the person he was trying to get in touch with, the only other person besides Jude that he cared about the most, wasn't picking up the phone. No one in the house was picking up the phone.
Jude walks into her room, slamming the door a little, and flops down on her bed. She punches her mattress and sighs. 'Why is he so hard to read?' Jude thinks to herself as she closes her eyes. One second he is flirting with her and the next he is snapping at her. Was the song that bad? Who was he trying to get a hold of anyways? She opens her eyes and flips open her phone. She presses a few buttons and goes to her call history.
'This isn't even a Canadian number.' Jude thinks as she looks at the number. She closes her phone slowly and begins to think about who he could have been calling. After about a half an hour of thinking she falls asleep, still mad at Tommy. Tommy falls asleep at the same time Jude does, thinking about how he would have to apologize to her tomorrow.
The next day…rather afternoon when Jude woke up she thinks back to how Tommy had snapped at her the day before. She was still mad about that. She gets up and walks out of her room, fluffing her hair. She can hear Speed's voice as she walks towards the front of the bus.
"Dude, what happened?" Speed asks. "What are you talking about?" Tommy responds. "Last night she was two seconds away from sleeping with you after she heard that song and now you two aren't even talking to each other." Speed says. "How did you know?" Tommy asks him.
"She has a habit of slamming doors when she's pissed off." Speed answers. "Not to mention, you two actually slept in separate rooms last night." Kyle adds. "Yeah, so what happened?" Wally asks Tommy.
"Last night she was playing me her new song and I wasn't really paying attention." Tommy says. "What, were you two busy checking her out?" Kyle asks with a smirk on his face. Tommy rolls his eyes. "No, I was trying call someone." Tommy says. "Why?" Wally asks.
"Because it was and is important that I talk to that person." Tommy says. 'What, am I not important enough for him anymore?' Jude thinks as she continues to listen to the boys' conversation. "More important than Jude?" Kyle asks. "Yeah…almost." Tommy replies. SME look at each other with shocked faces. Jude's jaw is slightly dropped and she can feel her anger rising, mixed with hurt.
"Whoa. So it's a girl?" Speed asks. "Yeah." Tommy simply replies. "You mean another girl is more important to you than to Jude?" Kyle asks, still in shocked. "You could say that." Tommy says. Jude shakes her head storms into the room. Tommy could tell by the look on her face that she was pissed and had heard everything he just said. He couldn't understand why she was mad, though.
"So I'm not important enough to listen to anymore, Tommy? You can't take two minutes out of your playboy life to listen to a song I wrote?" Jude asks in an angry tone. Tommy gives her a why-are-you-mad look. Jude shakes her head and storms into her room and slams her door shut.
"What did I do?" Tommy asks. "What did you do! Dude, she just over heard you say another girl was more important than her." Speed says. "So…" Tommy says. Speed gives him an unbelievable look then shakes his head. Tommy sits back on the couch and thinks about what had just happened with Jude. Then it clicks in his head. She's thinking that he meant that he was in love with another girl and that she means more to him than her. She's thinking he only cares about the other girl he was talking about and not her. He hits his head as he thinks about how it must have sounded.
"Oh! She thinks that I replaced her." Tommy says. "You are just now getting that?" Speed asks. "No, I didn't mean another girl…like relationship type of girl. I meant…nevermind. I have to go talk to her." Tommy says as he stands up. "Good luck." Wally mumbles under his breath.
Tommy walks to Jude's door and knocks a couple of times. When he doesn't get an answer, he sighs and enters the room sees Jude lying on her bed with her face buried into her pillow. Tommy slowly walks over to her bed and contemplates on whether or not he should sit down. He decides to stand, figuring it would probably be safer that way. He swallows and says a silent prayer.
"Jude, you heard that conversation the wrong way." Tommy starts. Jude takes her head from her pillow and flips over on her back. She gives him one of her famous pissed off looks. "How do you figure, Quincy?" She asks. Tommy heard the anger that was still in her voice.
"What you heard wasn't a lie…you just don't understand." Tommy says. Jude rolls her eyes. "Do you hear yourself? First you say I didn't hear it right then you say it wasn't a lie. Make up your mind." She says. Tommy sighs and sees that this already wasn't going good.
"I don't have a girlfriend." Tommy says. "So she is just one of your flings but she is more important that me? Thanks a lot, Quincy." Jude says as she turns on her side, her back to him. Tommy sighs. "That's not what I meant." He says. "Save it for your…friend." Jude says. "Jude…" Tommy pleads.
"Just leave, Tommy." Jude says. Tommy sighs and hesitates before he finally walks out of the room. He walks into the front part of the bus. SME stop and look at him. He just shakes his head and sighs then walks back to his room. Kyle and Speed and Wally shrug and shake their heads and continue with their conversation.
Tommy enters his room and lies down on his bed. One of the girls who meant the most to him in the world was pissed off at him…again. And the other girl who meant the world to him wasn't at home. He was worried and mad and sad all at the same time. He lets out an angry sigh and puts his hands behind his head and closes his eyes. He takes a brief nap, being awaked by a knocking on his door.
"Come in." He mumbles almost inaudibly. Kyle slowly opens the door and walks into Tommy's room. "Hey we are at the stadium." Kyle says as he looks at Tommy. Tommy opens his eyes and looks at his watch. It was already almost 6:30. He stands up and stretches a little.
"Should I wake up Jude too?" Kyle asks. "She doesn't wanna see me right now." Tommy says sadly. "Okay." Kyle says with sympathy in his voice. Tommy looks into his mirror and spikes his hair a little then exits his room. As he walks into the hallway he sees Jude emerging from her room. He attempts to speak to her but she turns her head and walks off the bus. He shakes his head and follows her off the bus.
As they step into stadium, backstage, they see everyone rushing around. Tommy looks at Jude, who is still ignoring him. He looks over to his right and sees a security guard eyeing Jude. He watches the security guard closely as he walks over to Jude.
"Jude Harrison. Hi, I'm Tony…your security guard for tonight." Tony says as he puts his hand out. Jude smiles widely as she shakes his hand. Tommy watches as Tony looks at Jude up and down. Not only was he getting a weird vibe from this guy, but he was also feeling his jealous rise. 'Very cute.' Jude thinks as she continues to look at him.
"I'm going to set up." Tommy mumbles as he walks away. He walks over to the amps and begins to plug in chords, making sure he kept his eye on Tony. He sees him touch her arm and give her a look again. Tommy shakes his head. It wasn't jealousy any more…completely…something wasn't right with this guy. He shakes his head and continues to plug in the chords.
Thirty minuets later Tommy is finished setting up. He looks towards Jude's dressing room door and sees her come out. She is immediately greeted by Tony, who had a bottle water in his hand. Tommy eyes the bottle water closely as Jude smiles and thanks him.
Jude opens the bottle water and notices that the seal didn't snap. She doesn't think anything of it as she takes a drink. Across the room, Tommy notices Tony eyeing her really weird as Jude takes a big drink of out of the water bottle. He sees Tony say something else to Jude before he walks off.
Tommy walks over to Jude. He stops in front of her and gives her an apology smile. Jude smiles back and nods her head. "I'm really sorry." Tommy says. "It's fine, Quincy." Jude replies. "I just…over-reacted." She adds. "No, you didn't. I'll explain it to you later. Right now you have a show to do, girl." Tommy says. Jude smiles at him as he kisses her forehead.
She stumbles back a little. Tommy grabs hold of her and gives her a weird concerned look. "Whoa, girl. Jude, are you okay?" He asks. "Yeah, I'm fine…just got a little light-headed." Jude replies. Tommy gives her another concern look but doesn't get the chance to say anything because Speed interrupts.
"Oh, lead singer! Are you ready for your concert?" Speed asks. Jude smiles and nods her head. "Yeah, I'm ready." Jude says. She looks at Tommy and stands on her tip toes and kisses his cheek. Tommy smiles as he watches her skip towards SME. Once they hear their names they run on stage and begin their concert.
During the concert Tommy watches Jude closely. Something wasn't right. She always gave a hyped concert but never like this. She was jumping up and down and twirling around to every other word. Her singing was very breathing and she wasn't hitting notes like she usually did. Even Speed and Wally could tell something wasn't right but they just shrugged it off.
At the end of the concert, when Jude and SME come back stage, Jude hops into Tommy's arms. She giggles and gives him a big hug. "Jude, are you okay?" Tommy asks as he lightly pushes her off of him. "Yeah, I'm great. Better than great. I have never felt this good. I feel like I'm floating." Jude says as she twirls around. Tommy looks at Speed, who just shrugs.
Jude stops twirling and stumbles towards Tommy, falling into his chest. Tommy grabs her and looks at her. She tries to gain her balance a little bit, pulling away from Tommy's chest then falls backwards to the ground, her eyes closed. Tommy quickly squats down next to her and begins to lightly tap her face.
"Jude! Jude!" He says as he continues to quickly tap her face. He looks up at Speed. "Go get her some water!" Tommy says. Speed nods and runs to where the water is. Wally and Kyle squat next to Jude and watch as Tommy tries to get her to open her eyes. He feels her forehead and sees that she is burning up. By now Wally and Kyle are saying her name too, drawing a big crowd.
Tommy checks her pulse, finding it extremely high. He begins to panic. Speed runs back to them with a bottle water in his hand. Speed begins to pour the water lightly on his face. "Somebody get an ambulance!" Someone shouts. Tommy just looks at Jude, in shock of what's happening. He glances up and sees, through all the commotion, Tony standing with his foot on the wall, smirking at the scene before him.
Tommy feels his anger rise to the fullest as he jumps up. He jogs across the room and pushes Tony. "What that hell did you put in that water!" Tommy shouts before he punches him. Tony stumbles back a little and tries to hit Tommy back. Tommy ducks and punches Tony again, making him fall to the ground. Tommy gets on top of him and continues to punch him repeatedly.
Wally looks over and sees Tommy punching Tony non stop. He jumps up and runs over to Tommy, but gets knocked out of the way by four security guards, running towards the scene also. By the time they were able to pull Tommy off of Tony the ambulance had gotten there, along with the police.
"What's going on here?" A police officer asks as he walks over to Tommy, who was being held back by the four guards. "This manic was just punching Tony over here." One of the guards says. "That son of a bitch put something in Jude's water!" Tommy shouts as he tries to get out of their grip.
The police officer looks at Tommy then looks at Tony, who was on the floor holding his bleeding face. The officer takes out his handcuffs and walks over to Tommy. The security guards let go of Tommy so the officer could put the cuffs on him.
"Sir, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you." The officer says as he locks the cuffs.
"What are you arresting me for!" Tommy angrily asks. "Third degree assault." The cop replies as he pushes Tommy forward. Tommy looks at Jude as he passes by her. He sees the paramedics checking her breath and heart rate. His eyes meet Speed's.
"I'll be out tomorrow, probably. Tell her that I'm going to come and see her as soon as I get out, when she wakes up." Tommy says as the cop continues push Tommy out of the building.
A few hours after Tommy gets to the city hall, he asks the officer if he could have his free call. "Are you calmed down now?" The cop asks. "If I wasn't I would be cussing you out right now." Tommy says. The cop grunts and walks over to his cell and unlocks the door. Tommy looks at him as he walks out towards the pay phone.
"What's the nearest hospital to the Hearnes Stadium?" Tommy asks the cop. "Memorial, I think." The cop replies. "Do you know the number?" Tommy asks. The cop grunts again and tosses him the phone book. Tommy flips through it and finds the number to the hospital. He picks up the phone and dials the number.
"Thank you for calling Memorial Hospital, this is Jen how may I assist you?" Came the voice from the phone. "Can you please tell me what room number Jude Harrison is in?" Tommy asks. There is quietness on the phone. "She just got into her room." Jen says.
"You mean they just now got her to the hospital?" Tommy asks. "No, she has been here for a while. I guess they might have had her in surgery or something because it says she just checked in a few minutes ago." Jen replies.
"Well can you just forward me to her room, please?" Tommy asks impatiently. The line is quiet for a few seconds then he hears ringing. A familiar voice answers the phone. "Hello?" Speed answers.
"Spiederman how is she?" Tommy asks. "She just had her stomach pumped, dude." Speed answers. "What?" Tommy asks. "That security guy put two ecstasy pills in her water. They had to pump them out." Speed replies. Tommy sighs and hits the phone against the base.
"Hey!" The cop says. "Sorry." Tommy mumbles. "Dude, where are you?" Speed asks. "I'm in Hawaii!" Tommy says sarcastically. "Where the hell do you think I am! I'm still in jail!" Tommy says loudly. "Well when are you getting out?" Speed asks him. "I don't know, Spiederman. If she wakes up…don't tell her anything. I want to. Okay?" Tommy says.
"Okay, just try and get here." Speed says. "I am." Tommy says before he hangs up. Tommy sighs and looks at the cop. "How long am I in here for?" Tommy asks him. "Till morning. After the security guard gets from the hospital he can decide whether or not he wants to press charges." The officer replies.
"Are you kidding me! He put two ecstasy pills in Jude's water!" Tommy shouts. "You still got into a fight with him. Now back in the cell." The officer says. Tommy shakes his head and storms in the cell, slamming the door shut. He lies down on the bench and taps his foot up and down, thinking about how long it was going to be until he was going to be able to see Jude.
The next morning Tommy awakes to a loud banging on the bars of his cell. He rises up and sees the cop that had arrested him the night before. "You can go." The cop says. "I can?" Tommy asks as he stands up. "Yeah, the guy didn't press charges, although you did bang him up pretty badly." The cop says.
"So." Tommy says. "So you are very lucky." The cop says before he unlocks the cell and slides the door open. "He deserved it." Tommy says in a deep voice as he steps out of the cell. "That's what they all say. Stay out of trouble." The cop says. Tommy nods his head and walks down the hall and out of the building.
When he steps outside he gets blinded by the sun and the flashing lights of cameras. He puts his hands up to his eyes and blocks all the lights. "Mr. Quincy can we get a quote about what happened last night?" "Mr. Quincy is it true that you nearly killed the guy that drugged number one Instant Star winner Jude Harrison?" "Mr. Quincy, how long was you in jail for?" Came questions from all the paparazzi. Tommy just shook his head and repeated "No Comment" about 6 dozen times.
He tries to get a taxi but remembers he only had credit cards on him. He sighs and goes back into the city hall. He sees a cop sitting at the front desk and smiles a little at him. The cop grunts and gives him a mean look. Tommy bites his tongue and doesn't say anything that would land him back behind bars.
"What?" The cop asks rudely. "How far away is Memorial Hospital?" Tommy asks. "Bout 5 miles." The cop answers, still using his rude tone. "Can you tell me what street it's on?" Tommy asks. The cop grunts and tosses him a phone book. Tommy sighs again and flips through the phone book, looking for the Memorial Hospital address. When he finds it he throws the phone book back at the cop and mumbles a "thank you."
He walks back outside and gets swarmed by the paparazzi and flashing lights again. He inhales deeply before he begins to run towards the direction of the hospital. He reaches the hospital within a half hour. He pants as he enters the hospital, feeling the warmness the minute he walks in. The receptionist behind the desk looks at him with sympathy.
"What floor is Jude Harrison on?" Tommy pants out. Before the receptionist has a chance to answer Tommy hears Speed's voice. "Dude, you're out!" Speed says as he runs over to him, Wally and Kyle right behind him. "Yeah, what are you doing down here? Why aren't you with Jude?" Tommy asks.
"We were on our way to the gift shop." Wally says. "Has she woken up yet?" Tommy asks. Speed and Wally and Kyle get serious looks on their faces. "No and she's breathing really slowly." Kyle says. Tommy closes his eyes and sighs.
"Dude she's going to be okay." Speed says as he puts a hand on his shoulder. Tommy nods his head slowly. "Do you want to come to the gift shop with us?" Kyle asks. "No, I just want to see her." Tommy replies. "Okay. She's on the third floor, room 321." Speed says. "Thanks." Tommy mumbles as he makes his way towards the elevator. As he steps into the elevator he presses the "3" button repeatedly, hoping it would make it go faster.
When the elevator finally gets on the third floor, Tommy quickly steps out and searches for Jude's room. When he finds it he walks into the room and looks at Jude. She was only hooked up to a few machines but it still pained him to look at her. He pulls up a chair next to her bed and sits down.
He brushes a strand of hair from her face and puts it behind her ear and listens to her slow breathing. He glances up at the beeping machine above his head and looks at Jude's heart rate. He couldn't tell if it was normal or not but he knew that the slow breathing wasn't a good thing. He rubs her arm a little and smiles at her. He could have sworn he seen her respond. He can hear her breathing pick up a little.
"Come on Harrison. I need you to get better and wake up that way you can yell at me and get mad. You know I hate our fights but I love it when we make up…even if it doesn't involve sex." Tommy says with a smile. He sees Jude's eyes flutter a little. He smiles and moves to the edge of his seat a little and watches as Jude's eyes slowly open. She looks at Tommy, then the room she was in.
"Where am I?" She asks. "The hospital." Tommy replies. "The hospital? What? Why?" Jude asks. "Well you and I were having sex and you hit the headboard kinda hard." Tommy says with a smirk. Jude laughs lightly and hits him. "Seriously, Tommy. Why am I in the hospital?" She asks.
"That jerk of a security guard, Tony, slipped a couple ecstasy pills into that bottle water he gave you." Tommy says. "Tony did?" Jude asks. "Yeah." Tommy answers. Jude sighs. "I'm such an idiot. I should have never taken that water from him. And it tasted weird also." Jude says.
"No, it's my fault. If I would have apologized earlier you wouldn't have been mad at me and you wouldn't of had to except the bottle water he gave you." Tommy says. "Quincy, do not blame yourself for this." Jude says as she looks at him. "Well I feel responsible." Tommy says quietly.
"Well you shouldn't. It wasn't your fault and it wasn't mine. It was Tony's fault." Jude says. Tommy smiles gently. "I guess you are right." Tommy says. Jude looks down at Tommy's hand, which was still on her arm. "What happened?" Jude asks as she looks at his wrists. They still had red marks from the handcuffs.
"Long story." Tommy says. "Does it look like I can go anywhere?" Jude asks. Tommy laughs lightly. "Yeah, I guess you're right again. Last night, when you passed out, I was trying to get you to wake up. I sent Speed to go get you some water and when he came back with the water and poured it on you I happened to glance up at Tony. He was looking at you on the ground and he was smirking. I just felt my anger rise and I ran over to him and started to punch him." Tommy explains.
"Tommy…" Jude says. "Repeatedly." Tommy adds. She shakes her head and smiles a little. "So when the paramedics and the police got there they took one look at Tony, who was bleeding, and one look at me, who was being held back by four guards. They arrested me but Tony didn't press any charges so they let me go. And just so you know, I ran five miles just to get here…in the cold." Tommy finishes the last sentence with a small smile.
Jude smiles at him. "So you knocked out the guy who drugged me and got sent to jail…all for me?" Jude asks. "Pretty much so yeah." Tommy says. Jude smiles again. Her smile fades after she thinks about something. Tommy notices the change and tries to get prepared for whatever she was about to say.
"Why would you do something like that for someone who wasn't the most important person to you?" Jude asks quietly. "Jude…" Tommy says. "You said so yourself, Quincy. You said that there was another girl out there that was more important than me." Jude says.
"There is. She's about three foot five inches tall and lives in Montana." Tommy says quietly with a smile. Jude looks at him and immediately feels stupid. "You mean Maria?" She asks quietly. "Yeah, girl. I was trying to call her because I haven't talked to her in a couple weeks." He says.
"Great. Now I feel really stupid." Jude mumbles. "You shouldn't. I would react the same way if I over heard you in a conversation saying another guy was more important than me." Tommy says. Jude nods her head and smiles at him as she grabs his hand.
"You really scared me, Harrison." Tommy says. "I did?" Jude asks. "Yeah. When you fell to the ground my mind stopped. I was scared when you weren't responding to me, then when I seen Tony standing over in the corner smirking, all my anger just surfaced. The thought of anyone hurting you makes me angry." Tommy says.
Jude smiles at him. "Thank you." She says. "For what?" Tommy asks. "For everything. Getting arrested for me, running five miles to see me and for always knowing what to say." She responds. Tommy smiles and shakes his head.
"Don't thank me for anything. I don't do anything but make you crazy." He says. "You know that is true. You do drive me crazy, but when you flirt with me and make jokes about wanting to have sex with me it makes me think you do have a heart." Jude says.
"Joking? Who said I was joking about wanting to have sex with you." Tommy asks. Jude laughs and moves her head left and right on her pillow. Tommy smiles widely at her. "Why are you smiling at me?" Jude asks. "You are so pretty when you smile. And I am happy I am the one making you smile." Tommy says.
"You always do, Quincy." Jude says quietly. Tommy smiles again, Jude smiling back. Their moment gets interrupted by a nurse clearing her throat. They turn their heads and look at the nurse, who they hadn't notice was in the room.
"Sorry to interrupt, but Jude I need to check your heart rate and make sure everything is okay." The nurse says. "That's fine." Jude says. Tommy stands up and pushes the chair back to the corner. "I'll just go get us some coffee or something." Tommy says.
"For once I actually don't want anything to eat." Jude says. "Hmm and all it took was getting your stomach pumped." Tommy says. "Imagine that." Jude says with a smile. Tommy smiles and winks at her before he leaves the room. The nurse begins to check the machines Jude was hooked up to, writing things down in her clipboard.
After a few more minutes the nurse was done writing things down in her clipboard. She smiles at Jude before leaving the room. Tommy wasn't back yet and she had just noticed SME was no where to be found. She closes her eyes a little and gets comfortable in the bed.
Tommy returns a few minutes later with two cups of coffee in his hand. He smiles when he walks into the room and sees that Jude is asleep. He sets the coffee cups down on the dresser and sits down in the chair that he had replaced back in the corner. He rubs his eyes and yawns a little as he leans back.
He closes his eyes and leans his head back against the wall. The room gets quiet for a few minutes, nothing but the beeping sound of Jude's machine was heard. Jude opens her eyes a little and smells the fresh smell of coffee. She smiles when she sees Tommy sitting over in the corner.
She carefully gets out of bed and drags the movable machine stand with her over to Tommy. She climbs onto his lap and snuggles into him. Tommy opens his eyes and looks down at her, smiling. She looks up at him and smiles back.
"You're all the security I need, Quincy." She whispers as she puts her head back down against his chest. Tommy smiles and wraps his arms tightly around her……………….
So there is an update for today. I think I should probably be able to get another one out tomorrow. Please tell me what you think!
