Speed, Wally and Kyle walk into the hospital room and see Tommy asleep in the chair in the corner with Jude on his lap. Kyle smiles and can't help but think about what a cute couple they would make. Speed and Wally look at each other and nod their heads, smiling. They all walk over and set their get well presents on the nightstand next to the hospital bed.
"Let's go back to the bus and let these two have their…moment." Kyle says quietly. "We aren't having a moment we are just trying to sleep." Tommy mumbles sleepily as he opens one of his eyes. "Yeah, right." Speed says sarcastically. "If you two stay in that position I don't think much sleep will be done." Wally says.
"Shut up." Jude groans as she adjusts herself on Tommy's lap. "Dude, you just messed up their mood and moment." Speed says. "You all did." Tommy says. "I thought you weren't having a moment." Kyle says with a smirk. "I just spent a night in jail. I'm really not in the mood for this." Tommy says.
"Sorry, dude. We're just going to go back to the bus." Speed says as he grabs Wally and Kyle's arms, dragging them out of the room. Tommy sighs and tries to get comfortable in the chair. After five minutes of trying to get comfortable he sighs again. Jude raises her head and looks down at him.
"You can't get comfortable?" She asks. "Nope." Tommy replies. "I guess I'll just go back to my bed." Jude says as she stands up. "Good because you way a ton." Tommy replies. Jude's jaw drops as she hits him. Tommy laughs as he rubs the spot on his shoulder where Jude just hit him.
"Can't you at least be nice to me when I'm in the hospital?" She asks as she gets back into her bed. "Running five miles isn't nice?" Tommy asks. Jude smiles at him. "Yeah running five miles is nice." She says. Tommy smiles and pulls the chair up to her bed again.
"Does that mean I get a couple brownie points?" Tommy asks with a smirk. "Yeah…you get 11." Jude says. "Eleven?" Tommy asks. "One for apologizing to me, five for punching Tony and five for running five miles." Jude says. Tommy just smiles at her.
"Are you hungry or anything?" He asks. "A little but not really." Jude responds. "Well you get some sleep and I'll be back in about 20 minutes." Tommy says as he stands up. "Where are you going?" Jude asks. "It's a surprise." Tommy replies with a smile. He sees the remote control to the TV lying on the nightstand so he picks it up and hands it to Jude.
"Try not to fall asleep on me, Harrison." Tommy says. "I'm not tired anymore." She responds. "You say that, but when I come back in here you will be fast asleep." Tommy says with a small smile. Jude just smiles back at him, agreeing. Tommy nods his head lightly and walks out of the room. Jude smiles and turns on the TV, thinking about how much Tommy must care about her.
Meanwhile, Tommy makes his way down to the first floor. He goes into the gift shop and tries to decide what he should get her. He knew Jude wouldn't really want a card. She was more into gifts. He walks around the store, grabbing a few items here and there; things he thought she would like. He smiles as he reaches the candy section, knowing Jude loved sweets.
When he walks up to the register the lady behind the counter looks at all the gifts he had set on the counter and smiles. "Girlfriend?" She asks. "No, just a really special friend." Tommy replies. "I wish I had a good friend that would buy me all this stuff if I was in the hospital." She says with a smile as she begins to ring up the items. Tommy looks at the helium tanks behind her.
The lady behind the counter follows his eyes. "How many?" She asks. "Um…just a few." Tommy replies. The lady smiles and nods her head. "Do you have different shapes?" Tommy asks the lady. "Well I know how to shape them…" The lady responds. "Can you shape a couple into guitars?" Tommy asks politely with one of his Tom Quincy smiles.
The lady looks at his smile and nods her head. (who would say no to Tommy Q when he is giving one of his cute smiles?) Tommy smiles and thanks the lady as he pays for all the items her purchased. Just as he is about to leave the lady speaks again.
"You're little Tommy Q aren't you?" The lady asks. Tommy stops in his tracks and turns around. "Tom Quincy." Tommy corrects her. "Can I get your autograph?" the lady asks. Tommy smiles and nods his head as he grabs a pen that was sitting on the counter. He scribbles his autograph down on a piece of paper and sets the pen back down.
"I take it all of these gifts are for Jude Harrison?" the lady asks. "Yeah." Tommy simply replies. The lady smiles and nods her head. "She's lucky to have you as a boyfriend." The lady says to him. "We're just friends, contrary to what the newspapers and magazines say." Tommy says.
"That's too bad. You two would make a cute couple." The lady replies. "Thank you." Tommy says as he picks up all his gifts and leaves the store. He makes his way back up to the third floor and walks into Jude's room. He sees lying in the bed with her eyes closed. He smiles as he walks over to the nightstand and sets down all his stuff.
"I'm not even tired." Tommy mocks to himself. "I'm not…smartass." Jude says as she opens her eyes. Tommy looks at her and laughs. "So what were you doing then?" He asks. "I was…resting my eyes." Jude cleverly responds. "Sure, Harrison." Tommy replies.
Jude looks up and sees all the gifts Tommy had gotten her. She smiles even wider when she sees the purple and red balloons, two of them in the shape of a guitar. "What's all this?" Jude asks, still smiling widely. "These are your get well presents." Tommy says with a smile that matches hers.
Tommy hands her a cute brown stuffed little teddy bear that had a heart attached to it that said Get Well Soon. She smiles and looks at it. Tommy smiles at her reaction and hands her a heart-shaped pillow that also had the words Get Well Soon. Jude smiles even wider as she takes it. Tommy holds up the vase of flowers he had gotten her, receiving another smile from Jude. He smiles back and hands her a single yellow rose.
"They were out of red…sorry." Tommy says with a smile. "It's fine." Jude replies as she takes the rose from him. He smiles at her then holds up the 17 balloons her had. They all said get well soon except for the separate balloons that were in the shape of guitars. He hands those two to Jude also. Jude smiles widely and looks at all her gifts she had in the bed.
"Not done yet." Tommy says. "God Quincy I should get sick more often." Jude says. Tommy chuckles as he pulls out another stuffed teddy bear. This one was bigger and had a shirt on that said I Love You. Jude smiles widely when she sees this. Tommy smiles again at her reaction.
"Only a couple more things left." Tommy says. He pulls out a yellow mug that had a big smile on it. "A mug, Quincy?" Jude asks. "Well you like to drink coffee so I figured you might as well have your own mug." Tommy says with a smile. Jude smiles at him, loving the way he was acting so caring. She sees the way his eyes light up everytime she smiles and accepts his gifts.
"Okay, I think these last gifts are going to be your favorite." Tommy says. He pulls out six boxes of chocolates. Jude smiles widely and begins to laugh. "Quincy, how did you know I was in need of something sweet?" Jude asks. "You always are." Tommy says with a smirk.
"I'm going to ignore that smart eleck comment and accept my chocolates." Jude says. Tommy laughs as he hands her all the boxes of candy. She immediately opens the first box and sticks a piece of chocolate into her mouth. Tommy tries to fight back his laughter. Jude sees this and throws one of the pieces of chocolate at him.
"Hey!" Tommy says. "Well you were laughing at me." Jude says. "That's because you have terrible eating habits." Tommy replies. "I'm sorry I can't be like you and take ten minutes to eat something." Jude says. "I don't take ten minutes…" Tommy replies. "Oh yeah you do. Although the bag of Twizzler's did go pretty fast." Jude says before she puts another piece of chocolate in her mouth.
"So they said you can get out of here tomorrow." Tommy says as he sits down. "Tomorrow? Wait, that means that I have to spend the night here?" Jude asks. "Yeah…" Tommy says. "Tommy I can't." Jude says. "You did last night, girl." Tommy answers. "Yeah but I was barely conscious. I have this phobia about hospitals." Jude says.
"Phobia?" Tommy asks. "Let's just say I watched Halloween at too young an age." Jude says. Tommy chuckles and shakes his head. "Well you have nothing to worry about because I plan on spending the night with you anyways." Tommy says. "You do?" Jude asks. "Of course." Tommy replies. Jude just smiles at him and continues to eat her candy.
Jude lies in her bed and looks at all the stuff Tommy had gotten her and smiles. "Why are you smiling?" Tommy asks. "Look at all this stuff you just got me." Jude says. Tommy chuckles. "They are just get well presents." He replies. "So…they are still adorable presents…especially this one." She says as she holds up the bear that said I Love You.
Tommy just smiles. He had contemplated on buying that bear for her. He didn't want to give her any mixed signals or anything. But he was assuming it was a good idea since she was smiling and glowing. "So that bear is your favorite?" He asks. "Yes." Jude simply replies. Tommy smirks. "Well good. I can take all these other gifts back." Tommy says as he picks up the stuffed pillow and other bear.
Jude quickly grabs them. "I don't think so." She laughs. Tommy reaches for the stuffed pillow again but Jude pulls it away from him. She giggles as Tommy continues to try and get it. "You think that's funny, Harrison?" Tommy asks. "Yes." Jude giggles. Tommy smiles and starts to tickle her. Jude starts to squirm in the bed, trying to stop Tommy from tickling her.
"Tommy stop." Jude giggles. Tommy stops tickling her and looks down at her and smiles. Jude smiles back, her face a bright shade of red from laughing. Tommy realizes how close their faces were; only centimeters away from each other. Jude looks at him deep in the eye and wonders what he is going to do next. Tommy just gives her a soft smile and pulls away from her.
"I hope you're not planning on eat all of that." Tommy says as he exhales, taking a seat in the chair. "Why shouldn't I?" Jude asks, still trying to catch her breath from all her giggling. "That's a whole lot of sweets." Tommy replies. "So…" Jude says. "Okay if you want all your teeth to fall out then go right ahead." Tommy says with a smirk. Jude smiles and rolls her eyes and pops another chocolate candy into her mouth.
Tommy laughs and leans back in the chair. They get quiet and just now notice the rain that was coming down outside. "Harrison, I hope you don't want anything." Tommy says as he looks out the window. "Are you aware that you say stuff out of nowhere?" Jude asks. Tommy chuckles. "Yeah. I said I hope you don't want anything because it is raining outside and it is only 37 degrees out which means its freezing rain. I'm not going out in it no matter how much I love you." He says.
Jude smiles at him. "You love me?" She teases. Tommy just smiles at her. "Yeah, I mean why else would I spend ten dollars on a bear that says I Love You." Tommy replies in a flirtatious tone. Jude smiles widely at him. Tommy just smiles back and watches her eat more of the chocolate candy.
'I wonder what kind of love he is talking about. He probably just means sisterly brotherly type of love. No…I don't know. What I do know is that brothers and sisters don't kiss like we have. I wish I could read his mind that way I wouldn't be so confused about what he is feeling.' Jude thinks as she continues to eat her candy.
'I wonder if she knows what type of love I'm talking about. She probably doesn't because I am kinda confused myself. I know it's defiantly not a sisterly brotherly type of love. She's probably just as confused as I am…maybe more since I'm the one sending her mixed signals. One of these days…in the near future, I'll find a way to express how I feel about her. Hopefully.' Tommy thinks.
He grabs the remote from the bed and turns the volume up on the TV. He watches MTV for a few minutes then turns his head and looks at Jude, who was opening box number two of chocolates. "You have got to be kidding me." Tommy says. Jude giggles as she rips the wrapper off of the box.
"You're the one who bought them for me." Jude says. "Yeah but I didn't think you were going to eat them all in one hour." Tommy replies. Jude giggles again as she eats another piece of chocolate. "I don't plan on eating them all." Jude replies. "Just all but one box." Tommy smirks.
"Exactly." Jude replies, using the same smart eleck tone he was using. Tommy smiles and shakes his head, turning his attention back to the TV. When a commercial comes on he turns his head back to Jude and is surprised to see she is on the same box and only half way through.
"You know I was thinking about going to the movie rental place." Tommy says. "I thought you said you weren't going to go out in that weather." Jude says. "I wasn't but there is a movie I really want to see." Tommy replies, smiling slyly. "What movie would that be?" Jude asks. "Halloween." Tommy replies. Jude drops the box of candy and gives Tommy an I-hope-your-joking-look.
Tommy, in return, laughs. "I'm glad I amuse you." Jude says. "You should have seen your face." Tommy says when he finally stops laughing. "I told you I am petrified of hospitals." Jude says. "I know but I just had to say it." Tommy says. "That wasn't funny. I really hope you stay with me tonight." Jude says.
"I am. And if you want…I can make you feel better." Tommy says with a smile. Jude laughs and rolls her eyes. "Not gonna happen…especially in a hospital room." Jude says. "Oh come on. That would be an awesome story to tell, Harrison. If people ask you where you lost your virginity you will be able to say in a hospital bed." Tommy says.
Jude laughs. "Yeah and when they ask why I was in the hospital and I tell them they'll say "so not only are you kinky, you are a drug addict too."" Jude says. Tommy starts to laugh at her comment. Jude joins him in laughter after a few seconds. They both stop laughing at the same time, still smiling.
"So are we just going to watch TV all day?" Jude asks. "There's not much more you can do, girl." Tommy replies. Jude sighs. "We can write a song." Jude says. "For once in my life I'm not in the mood to write a song. Besides, your journal is on the bus." Tommy says.
"That's right. I'm guessing Spiederman and Kyle and Wally aren't returning." She says. "I hope not." Tommy says. Jude laughs. "They really aren't that bad." She says. "I know. They are okay when they aren't making jokes about every little thing." Tommy says to her.
"I know." Jude says. They sit in quiet for a few moments. Not because they didn't have anything to talk about but because they were already growing bored. Tommy finally sighs and stands up. Jude looks up at him and gives him a questioningly look.
"Where are you going?" She asks. "I'll just be right back." Tommy replies before he walks out of the room. "Tom Quincy, man of many mysteries." Jude says to herself. She shrugs and eats another piece of chocolate candy. She glances at the show on the TV for a few minutes. She tries her hardest not to finish the box of candy in her lap, that way she could prove Tommy wrong…even though he was probably going to be right about her eating all the boxes of chocolates.
Tommy returns a few minutes later, smiling. Jude looks at him smiling and smiles back. "Why is it that every time I smile you smile back?" Tommy asks. "Quincy sometimes when you smile you get this cute little boyish expression on your face. It just automatically brings a smile to my face." Jude replies. Tommy laughs as he walks over to her bed.
He sits down on the edge and pulls out two boxes of cards. One box was normal cards and the other box was Uno cards. Jude smiles when she sees the cards. "Where did you get those from?" She asks. "The nurse at the desk gave them to me." He replies. "You asked her for them?" Jude asks him. "No, I just told her we were bored so she gave me them. I chose them though. I figured you would rather play Uno instead of Old Maid." Tommy replies.
Jude laughs. "I'm glad you did. Jamie used to torture me when we were little. He used to make me play that game all the time." She replies. "I guess that's what living with your grandma does to a person." Tommy mumbles as he opens the box of regular playing cards.
"So what do you want to play?" Tommy asks as he begins to shuffle the cards. "I don't know. You decide." Jude says. "Anything I want?" Tommy asks with a cute face. Jude takes one look at his face and knows what game he is thinking about. "Any game except for strip poker." Jude says.
"How did you know I was thinking that?" Tommy asks her. "I can read you like a book, Quincy." Jude says. Tommy laughs and continues to shuffle the cards. "Goldfish?" Tommy asks. "Nope. How about...Wild Deuces." She says. "Whatever you want, Harrison." Tommy says as he starts to lay the cards out on the sheets.
"The score is now…10 to…4? Is that right?" Jude asks sarcastically ten minutes later. Tommy smiles and shakes his head. "Okay so maybe Wild Deuces isn't my game." Tommy says. "You can say that again." Jude says. "I'm getting better." Tommy says. Jude just laughs and watches him as he begins to shuffle the cards again.
"Besides, I'm only loosing by…six." Tommy says. "That's a lot." Jude says. "And people say I'm cocky." Tommy mumbles. "Hey I'm not cocky." Jude says. "When it comes to playing games you are, Harrison." Tommy argues. "You're a sore loser." Jude says. Tommy sighs and shakes his head.
"But that's okay…because you make the cutest faces when you lose." Jude says. Tommy chuckles and starts to deal the cards again. After playing Wild Deuces for an hour and a half Tommy gets mad and throws the cards down. Jude looks at him and tries to fight back the laughter she wanted to let out.
"It's not funny." Tommy says. Jude puts her hand over mouth puts her head down and begins to laugh. Tommy shakes his head and puts the cards back into the box as Jude's laughter dies down. She puts her head back up and looks at Tommy, smiling widely.
"Got that outta your system?" Tommy asks her. "Yes." Jude replies. "Good. Now we can play a game I am actually good at." Tommy says as he pulls the Uno cards out of the box. He deals out fourteen cards, seven going to Jude and seven going to him. He smiles as he sees the cards he had gotten.
"Your turn." Tommy says after 10 minutes into the game. Jude sighs when she sees that she doesn't have any red cards. She reaches for the stack of cards and pulls one out. Luckily it turns out to be a red card. She smiles slyly at Tommy and puts the card down on top of the stack of cards.
"You are just lucky, girl." Tommy says. Jude smiles at him from behind her cards, which she had up to her face. "No, I'm just…gifted when it comes to playing cards." Jude says. Tommy rolls his eyes and throws out a red card. Jude smiles and throws out another colored card with the same number. Tommy groans, telling Jude he didn't have any cards that color.
"You're no fun to play cards with, Harrison." Tommy says. Jude giggles. "Yes, I am. You are just a sore loser like I said before." Jude replies. Tommy looks at Jude and is about to say something, but gets an idea. Jude sees how his eyes light up and gets suspicious.
"What are you thinking?" Jude asks. "Nothing." Tommy replies quietly with a smile as he scoots closer to Jude. Jude gives him a weird look and watches him as he continues to get closer to her. After a few seconds Jude catches on to what he was trying to do. She laughs and moves her cards out of sight.
"Nice try, Quincy." Jude says. Tommy sighs and scoots back down to the edge of the bed. Jude smiles at him then looks at her cards. "Can I trust you not to look at my cards if I go to the bathroom?" Jude asks a few seconds later.
"Yeah." Tommy says giving her a sneaky smile. "Quincy, we are talking about trust here. If you look at my cards I will never be able to trust you." She says. Tommy sighs softly. "Great guilt trip, girl." Tommy says. Jude just smiles at him as she stands up and walks into the bathroom.
He watches her closely, hoping she had the gown that was open in the back, but to his disappointment, it wasn't. He scoots up to Jude's side of the bed and gets comfortable, taking off his shoes. He puts the bed up a little, making sure he doesn't mess up the cards. Just as he gets comfortable Jude walks out of the bathroom and looks at him. She stands on the side of the bed and puts her hands on her hips.
"Now where am I supposed to sit?" She asks. Tommy points down to the end of the bed. Jude looks and sees that there was no room. "I might be skinny but I'm not that skinny, Quincy. There is no room." She says. Tommy sighs and moves his feet so that there was more space at the bottom. Jude gives him a thank you smile and gets comfortable at the end of the bed, sitting Indian style.
"Comfortable?" Tommy asks her. "As comfortable as I can be." Jude answers. "Need anything?" Tommy asks. "I really want a milkshake for some reason but its still raining outside." Jude responds. "You want a milkshake in the middle of winter?" Tommy asks. "Yeah…either a milkshake or an ice cream cone or just plain ice cream." Jude says. Tommy gets quiet for a moment and contemplates on whether or not he should go out there and get her some ice cream.
He did see an ice cream shop on his way here. Whether they were open or not, he couldn't tell. And he did pass an McDonald's so if the ice cream parlor was closed he could just go there. He nods his head and stands up. Jude puts down her cards and gives him an weird look.
"What are you doing?" She asks him. "You said you wanted ice cream so I'm going to get you ice cream." Tommy replies as he puts on his leather jacket. "Tommy it's freezing and raining out there." Jude says. "So…" Tommy says as he zips up his jacket. "You don't have to." Jude says to him. "And it's already dark out." She adds. Tommy shrugs.
"I don't care. You said you wanted ice cream so you are going to get ice cream. Besides, I have to be nice to you…you are in the hospital after all." Tommy says with a small. "Yeah, for something minor." Jude says. "Oh well, Harrison. I'm going to get you ice cream." He says. "Tommy, really, you don't have to." Jude says. "I want to." He replies with a smile before he leaves the room.
Jude smiles to herself and crawls back up to the head of the bed. Something was happening between her and Tommy. She didn't know what…she couldn't describe it but she knew something was happening. On one hand she was happy of the idea that Tommy might be realizing his feelings for her but on the other hand she was scared; scared of getting hurt again. He left her right when she thought they were actually getting somewhere. How did she know he wasn't going to the exact same thing? Well the fact that they were on a six month tour was a reassuring thought but that was the only one. She knows her heart can't handle that. Her heart was already starting to heal and she was starting to forgive him. When she was going to be able to fully forgive him was undetermined. Right now she was just happy they were flirting and having a good time…even if she was in a hospital. There is a lot of sexual tension but that's just their friendship.
Tommy reaches the ice cream parlor he had passed and sees that it is closed. 'Of course it is closed. It's wintertime for crying out loud. Nobody in their right minds wants ice cream in freezing weather. Well, no one but Jude Harrison.' Tommy thinks as he turns around and begins to walk towards the McDonald's he had seen earlier. He sighs and puts his head down as the rain begins to come down a little harder.
He returns to the hospital an hour later with an ice cream cone, a milkshake and a sundae. He looks around and doesn't see Jude in her bed and figures she must be in the bathroom. He smiles as he gets an idea. He slowly opens the closet door and walks inside, closing the door behind him. He waits a couple a minutes, the cold ice cream still in his hands. Finally he hears the door to the bathroom open. He smiles widely and begins to jiggle the doorknob to the closet door.
Jude, who had just gotten into the bed, looks around. She could have sworn she heard something. She shrugs it off and looks at the TV. Tommy begins to hum the Freddy Kruger song. Jude turns down the TV and listens to the song Tommy was humming. She begins to get a little creeped out. Tommy stops humming the Freddy song and begins to make Jason noises. Jude begins to bite her fingernails as she continues to listen to the sounds.
Tommy stops doing the noises and waits three seconds before he barges out of the closet. Jude jumps at least four feet in the air. Tommy immediately begins to laugh as Jude puts her hand over heart. Once her nerves calm down she throws her pillows at Tommy, who was still laughing. Tommy stops laughing a little and just giggles.
"Quincy, you almost gave me a heartattack!" Jude says as she places her hand back over her heart, which was still beating rapidly. Tommy laughs again and sits the ice cream items on the nightstand. "Well the bright side is…at least you are in a hospital, girl." Tommy says before he laughs again. Jude rolls her eyes and brushes her bangs from her forehead.
When Tommy finally stops laughing and giggling he motions his hands towards the ice cream. "Pick which one you want, girl." Tommy says. "You got all three?" Jude asks. "Yeah, the people there felt sorry for me. I only had to pay for the milkshake." Tommy says. "That's nice of them." Jude says. "I guess. The milkshake is chocolate, although I think you might be tired of chocolate…the ice cream cone is vanilla and chocolate and the sundae is just plain vanilla. I made them put two cherries on top since you are in the hospital." Tommy says.
Jude smiles at him. "Thank you." She says. "No problem. I enjoy walking a mile in the cold freezing rain just to get ice cream which freezes my hands even more." Tommy says with a smirk. Jude smiles and rolls her eyes. "I told you, you didn't have to go." She says. "I know." Tommy says as he takes off his jacket and throws it on the chair.
"Hmm…which one should I eat first?" She asks herself. "I don't care just as long as you eat both of them and drink the milkshake." Tommy says as he rubs his hands together. Jude smiles at him and grabs the sundae. "You want to eat it with me?" She asks. Tommy pauses and looks at her. Jude rolls her eyes. "You are such a perv, Quincy." She says. Tommy laughs and walks over to the bed and sits down next to her.
"Well you can't just say things like that." Tommy says. "Especially to you." Jude mumbles as she takes the spoon out of the wrapper. Tommy smiles and reaches over to the nightstand and grabs one of the boxes of chocolate. He opens it and takes out three candy pieces and puts the top back on the box. He puts the chocolate on the sundae and smiles.
"Good idea, Quincy." Jude says. Tommy just smiles. He notices there is only one spoon. He sighs as he stands up. "Where are you going?" Jude asks. "To go see if the nurse at the desk out front has another spoon." He replies. "We can share." Jude says. Tommy looks at her and chuckles.
"What, it's not like we haven't shared each other's germs before. Four times if I remember correctly." Jude says. Tommy smiles to himself as he sits back down on the bed. Jude scoops up some of the ice cream and holds the spoon up to Tommy's lips. Tommy opens his mouth slightly and lets her put the spoon in his mouth. His lips brush against the spoon, removing the ice cream from the spoon.
Jude smiles and scoops some more up and takes a bite. Tommy takes the spoon away from her and feeds her the way she fed him. He doesn't take his eyes off of her as she eats the ice cream off of the spoon. He can feel his heartbeat get quicker. He swallows hard and gets off the bed.
"Now what are you doing?" Jude asks. Tommy looks around to think of an excuse to leave the room. He spots the boxes of cards. "I…uh…need to take the cards back to the nurse." Tommy says as he grabs them. He looks at the ice cream cone and sees that it is melting. "And I guess I'll give her this ice cream cone as a thank you." Tommy says.
Jude gives him a weird look. "Okay…Quincy." Jude says. Tommy smiles nervously at her as he grabs the ice cream cone and walks out of the room. Jude shakes her head and continues to eat her ice cream. She is almost done when Tommy returns, smiling widely like a little boy. He had something behind his back.
"Why are you smiling? And what do you have behind your back?" She asks him. Tommy continues to smile as he pulls a Playstation 2 from behind his back. Jude can't help but laugh as she sees the happy look on Tommy's face.
"She gave you a Playstation 2?" Jude asks. "Yeah…I returned the cards and gave her the ice cream cone and she was happy because she thought that I went out in the cold and rain for her. So she asked if I was still bored and I said yeah so she gave me the Playstation. She said we have to give it back tomorrow before you check out, though." Tommy says. Jude just smiles as she watches him walk over to the TV and hook up the game.
When he is done he smiles at Jude. "Quincy you are like a kid." Jude says. Tommy laughs. "I won't argue with you about that." He says as he hands her one of the controllers. "How many games did she give us to play?" Jude asks. "She only had to choose from. So I chose Need for Speed, Burnout, Midnight Madness and Pac Man." Tommy says.
Jude laughs. "At least you got one non car game." Jude says. Tommy just smiles and begins to set up the game. "Okay we are playing Need for Speed first." Tommy says. "Why?" Jude asks. "Because it has fast cars." Tommy says. Jude laughs at his childish antics. "You are so adorable right now." Jude says.
"I am?" Tommy asks as he sits down on the side of the bed, putting one leg up and leaving the other one on the floor. "Yeah, you have this glint in your eye and you are acting like a kid." Jude says. "And that's a good thing?" Tommy asks. "No, not really but like I said…you look adorable." She says with a smile
Tommy smiles at her then puts the second controller in her hand. Just as they are about to play the nurse appears at the door. Tommy turns his head and smiles at her. "Hey, did you get it hooked up?" The nurse asks. "Yeah, we are just about to play." Tommy says in a happy voice. Jude giggles. "Well I'm going to shut the door that way you two won't wake up the other patients." The nurse says. Tommy nods and returns his attention to the TV.
Ten minutes later Tommy and Jude are neck and neck playing the game. "You're a lot better at this then what I thought you would be, Harrison." Tommy says. "Thank you." Jude replies with a smile. She smiles even wider as she passes him. Tommy's jaw drops and he begins to press buttons, trying to get his car to go faster.
Jude drops the controller and flings her hands up in the air when she wins the game. "I want a rematch." Tommy pouts. Jude laughs. "Fine, you can have a rematch since that pouty face you just gave me was so cute." Jude says. Tommy smiles and restarts the game.
Towards the end of the game Jude gets in the lead again. She is smiling while Tommy is looking at the TV then turning his head to her. He smiles and puts his hands over his eyes as he continues to play.
"Tommy! That's not fair!" Jude laughs as she tries to removes his hand. Tommy's laughs and removes his hand, gaining the lead. Jude tries to catch up but she was too far behind. Tommy drops the controller and jumps up when he wins the game. He smiles widely as Jude crosses her arms.
"That's no fair. You cheated." Jude pouts. Tommy laughs. "Aww are you going to throw a fit, Harrison?" He teases. Jude throws one of her pillows at him. He laughs as he walks back to the bed. "Get up for a second." He says. Jude gets out of the bed and watches as Tommy takes her spot.
"Hey!" She says. Tommy just smiles and pulls her onto the bed, putting her in between his legs. "There." He says. Jude smiles as she gets comfortable in his arms. "Now here is the last rematch." Tommy says. Jude smiles and nods her head.
Four hours later Jude throws down the controller and lets out an angry sigh. Tommy just chuckles. "And you say I'm a sore loser." He says. "You are…we are. I guess." She says. Tommy chuckles again. "I'm tired of car games, Quincy. Let's play Pac Man." She suggests.
"But Pac Man's a girl's game." Tommy complains. Jude turns around and looks at him. "I mean…Pac Man is a great game to play." he says, laughing nervously. Jude smiles and rolls her eyes as Tommy gets up and changes the game. After he changes the game he climbs back into the bed, getting in behind her again.
"Now here's a game that I'm good at." Jude says with a smile. "We'll see Harrison. We'll see." Tommy says. They both laugh as they wait for the game to load. Two hours later Tommy throws down the controller. Jude lets out a laugh and turns around and looks at him.
"Anger management." Jude says. "No, I just don't like this game." Tommy says. Jude laughs. "Earlier when you were winning you said you loved this game." She says. "Yeah, that's because I was winning. I hate those stupid small men or whatever they are." Tommy says.
Jude laughs and puts the game on pause. She grabs Tommy's wrist and looks at his watch. She is surprised to see that it is almost three in the morning. "Quincy, did you know it's almost three in the morning?" Jude asks. Tommy looks at his watch. "Wow. No wonder why parents band their kids from playing their games after nine. You can literally play them all night." Tommy says.
"Yeah." Jude says. Tommy sighs and stands up. "What are you going now?" Jude asks. "To the bathroom, Harrison. smirks Do you want to join me?" He asks. "No, that's okay." Jude says. Tommy smiles at her and turns around and walks into the bathroom.
When he comes out three minutes later he sees that Jude has turned the TV back to the cable. He smiles when he sees her already under the covers. He pulls the chair up to the bed again and puts the jacket up to his chest and puts his feet on Jude's bed.
"Hey!" She says. Tommy chuckles. "I need some foot room." Tommy says. "Well with your feet there I can't see the TV." Jude says to him. "Well that's too bad." Tommy says. "Tommy." Jude says. Tommy smiles and puts his feet down. "Thank you." She says.
Tommy nods his head then turns to the TV. "VH1?" Tommy asks. "Well MTV is showing a commercial right now and I hate commercials." Jude says. Tommy chuckles. "Figures." He mumbles. "I heard that." Jude says. Tommy just smiles and looks at the TV again. The special for tonight was Famous Actors and Singers hooking up. They showed an numerous amount of famous singers and actors and actresses kissing and hugging.
"Tommy, how come we never talk about our kisses?" Jude asks suddenly. Tommy shifts in his chair and looks at Jude. She turns towards him and waits for an answer. "Okay…talk about out of no where questions, girl." He says. Jude laughs lightly. "Don't joke. That's a serious question." Jude says.
Tommy leans forward and puts his arm on Jude's bed, resting his chin on his forearm. He looks at her and tries to find the right words to answer the question. "I think it's partly because whenever we do kiss we are always at a loss for words. Also because we…well I'm afraid of what will be said and discovered if we ever do talk about them." Tommy says quietly.
"What could possibly be said about our kisses that would scare you?" Jude asks, matching his same quiet voice. "The fact that you might have lost your feelings for me. The fact that you might not care about me anymore. The fact that you might want to a relationship and if I don't agree then you won't want to even be my friend any more. There a millions of things that a conversation like that can hold that would scare me. The thing that scares me the most is me hurting you and you finally having a enough off me and crossing me off altogether." Tommy admits quietly.
Jude smiles and grabs his hand, lacing their fingers together. "You shouldn't be scared. That's never going to happen. I'm not going anywhere." She whispers. "Neither am I." Tommy whispers back. "Are you sure?" Jude asks. "You think I am?" Tommy asks. "I don't know. I didn't think you were going any where last time but you did." Jude says. "I know. But it won't happen this time. I promise." Tommy says. Jude smiles at him and holds his hand even tighter.
Tommy smiles as he looks at their hands intertwined. He raises them and kisses Jude's hand then leans forward and kisses her forehead. Jude smiles and closes her eyes. After a few minutes Jude drifts off to sleep. Tommy looks up at her and smiles. "I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." He says as before he kisses her hand again and closes his eyes…..
