Chapter 5

Disclaimer-I didn't own it then... I don't own it now.

Jude was tired of it…all of it. Putting her everything into a relationship just to have it be a total disaster. Tommy loved her...she knew he did. And she loved him. But what she couldn't understand is why they couldn't be together. She didn't care about the tabloids, she just wanted him. The ringing of her cell phone caught her off guard and she jumped. Not even needing to look at the caller ID she picked up the phone.

"Hello Tommy." Jude said not sounding happy.

"I hope you're not mad at me for what I told you last night. I really don't want you to get hurt in a relationship…especially not one with your producer. That could do some serious damage to your career girl."

"How many times do I have to tell you, I don't care about that. I just want you."

"I want you too. I thought over a lot of stuff last night and I realized that I have feelings for you. Not the ones you have heard me declare before…these are real Jude."

Jude didn't believe him. Or at least she wouldn't until there was proof.

"Tommy don't lie to me again. I cant take it anymore…I wont."

"I know I've lied way to many times for you to believe me but this time its not a lie."

There was a pause at the other end of the phone.

"Jude?"

"I'm here…" Came Jude's response.

"Well say something to me. Don't just leave me hanging on the other end of the line feeling like a complete idiot for telling you this."

"You are an idiot. Not for telling me this but for telling it to me all those times and them being lies. And I don't believe-" but she was cut off by Tommy yelling…

"Jude!" and then a crash. And the line going dead.

Jude sat there phone still in her hand. She knew what that sound was. She hung up her phone and tried dialing his number again hoping to hear his deep voice on the other end but all she heard was a busy signal. There was nothing she could do to help him. She didn't know where he was so she couldn't go to him. She was afraid to wait for the paramedics to get there in case they were too late to save him. She was honestly afraid for the paramedics to get to him because that would mean him going to the hospital. Then that would definitely mean cops questioning him. Jude swore to herself and to him that he wouldn't go back to jail. She was going to get him out of this…but how? The only thing she could do was wait. Wait for something to come on the news or wait for a call. She expected more of the news than a telephone call. But maybe she was wrong. She got up and went downstairs to turn on the T.V. And sure enough there was a report on what hospital he was located in. Jude wrote the address on a piece of paper. Then found another paper leaving whoever came home first a note about where she was going. She grabbed her keys and drove.

It was a pretty long drive but she made it within two hours. She walked up to a nurse sitting on front of a computer and waited.

"Yes?" the young nurse said.

"Could you tell me what room Thomas Quincy is in please?" Jude said almost in tears

"Just a minute…ah, he's in room 308. Take the elevator up to the second floor and it's to your left dear."

"Thank you." Jude said walking towards the elevator.

Jude was afraid of what she might find when she entered his room. She was almost ready to turn around and go home. But she couldn't. She had come this far and she wasn't going to let him go to jail. Getting to his room seemed to take an eternity. But she finally saw the room number, walked to the door, and stopped. Turning the doorknob Jude silently prayed that it wouldn't be as bad as she feared.

Stepping into the faintly lit room she could see her prayer had not been answered. All sorts of machines surrounded his bedside. Bandages covered his head. A tube protruding from his mouth told Jude he couldn't breathe on his own. She heard the beeping of the monitors and turned to see a green line run across the screen. Every now and again it would jump up and fall back down to its original position. At least he has a heartbeat. Jude thought. She sat in a chair closest to Tommy's bed. Putting her feet in the chair she put her head in her hands and cried.

There came a knock at the door.

"Come in." Jude said in a scratchy voice.

"I'm sorry to barge in like this but I need to speak with Mr.Quincy. Is he awake?" asked a policeman.

"No. You'll have to come back later officer."

"And what is your name?"

"Jude Harrison." She said quietly.

"Well Ms. Harrison, may I ask you a few questions since Mr. Quincy here isn't awake?"

"I don't feel like answering any questions right now. Maybe later. Just not right now. I'm really upset. Sorry." Jude said wiping the tears from her eyes.

"No. I understand. Good bye Ms. Harrison." Said the policeman exiting out the door.

Jude just sat there staring at Tommy. Hoping, praying everything would be all right.

A/n. Ok I know its been forever since I've updated but I had writers block. I just randomly got this idea and I decided to go with it. Probably not the best thing in the world but I tried. Oh by the way does any one know about the new season of Instant Star? It hasn't been coming on my TV and I don't know if its been cancelled or if my TV is being stupid. Well reviews please.
