Love Is Never Painless Chapter 9: Two Words, an instant star fanfic

Chapter 9 – Jude

Two words.

That's all I need.

She's fine or she's alive.

Just any two words to tell me my sister is ok.

Everyone was sitting in the waiting room waiting to hear word on Sam's condition.

Eric was holding Natalia and crying. Kwest was holding Sadie while she cried and me I just paced around the waiting room area.

"How long as she been in there." Eric asked to no one in particular.

"2 and a half hours." I said just as Darius and Tommy ran into the waiting room.

"How is she." Tommy asked me.

"I don't know Tommy. I don't know" I said as I broke down and cried in his arms.

"Shh! Girl it's going to be ok. Your sister is strong just like you and Sadie. She will pull through this." Tommy whispered in my ear as he stroked my long blonde hair.

I glanced up at Darius to see anger and frustration in his eyes and all over his face.

"D. What happened after we left?" I asked

"The cops came, took peoples statements and arrested your dad. They also asked if Sam wanted to press charges and I told them they would have to ask you guys. They said ok and took your dad to jail. After that me and Tommy came here and I left Liam in charge at the office."

"Oh" I said and once again we all waited in silence to hear word on Samantha's condition.

Another 3 hours later it was 11 at night and everyone was sitting in a seat falling asleep. All except me and Tommy. We stayed awake and waited for news on Samantha.

2 minutes later a Doctor came out of Samantha's room.

Two words. That's all I need.

"Is there anyone here for Ms. Morales.?" asked the doctor.

"We are." all of us said jumping up from our seats.

"Well earlier Samantha's heart stopped on the way to the hospital. But we were able to quickly revive her. We were also able to stop the bleeding from her head and she is now resting. But I have to warn you please do not look alarmed by her appearance we had to shave a part of her head to close up the wound. And at the moment she is extremely pale. So I strongly suggest you do not take the little on in to see her."

"But That's her daughter she has a right to see her." I screamed. "She need to know her mommy is ok."

"I'm sorry but I can not allow her to go into the room. Maybe some other time when Samantha has regained her skin color and is awake until then I'm sorry but I stick with my answer."

I turned away from the doctor and cried into Tommy's shoulder again.

"Also there is a chance that once Samantha wakes up she might not remember the events leading up to the incident."

"What do you mean?" asked Darius.

"I mean there is a possibility that Samantha might suffer short term memory loss."

"You mean she wont remember that she has two sisters or the fact that she is the newest instant star?" D asked again.

"Well if those events happened recently. No."

"Oh god!" exclaimed Sadie.

"Her mom needs to be informed about all of this." Eric said to us as he handed Natalia to Darius and went to use his cell phone.

"You can go in to see her if you want but please I have to ask for immediate family only at the moment."

"Ok thank you Dr."

"Dr. Franklin."

"Thank you Dr. Franklin."

With that we watched Dr. Franklin walk away and then decided to figure out how we all are going to see Samantha tonight.

"Well someone could say their Samantha's fiancee. And someone could pass for her brother."

"I can pretend to be her brother." I heard Eric say as he came back to join us with tear stains on his cheeks.

"How did her mom take the news?" I asked worried about her moms well being.

"She is pissed and worried. She started crying and had to hand the phone to her dad so I could finish explaining everything. She is also afraid her baby girl wont ever be the same again. When they get off the bus tomorrow morning their heading straight over here. And as for her grandfather he started to cry as well. She's his only grandchild so her mom and him are taking the news extremely hard."

"Ok." was all I said. That's all I could manage to say.

"Jude why don't you go in first. Send her my regards." Darius said to me as he gave Natalia back to Eric.

"I'll see her another time. Hopefully when I come she remembers who I am." With that Darius walked off but not before I see him brush a tear off his cheek.

"Bye Darius." I whispered while I walked down the long white corridor towards Sam's room.

Once I entered I was floored by everything I saw.

I saw Sam lying hopelessly on the bed with her skin complexion as white as the sheets she laid on. There was also all types of tubes sticking out of her from various places.

Just the sight of everything thing sent me into a state of shock. I stood near the door and silently let the tears fall down my face.

I have never seen anyone lying so lifeless in a hospital. I felt so helpless and I cried more because I felt as if there was nothing I could do.

Nothing except be strong. And right now by the looks of it I was failing at that too.

Finally I got the courage up to walk over to Sam's bedside.

When I got there I gathered her very cold hand in mine and pushed her hair out of her face.

"Hey Sam." I whispered. "It's me Jude. Everyone is outside waiting to see you. You had us all worried sick. Even Darius shed one little tear. God is he crazy about you. But then again so is Eric. I seriously can not believe Dad blames Eric for us finding out his secrets can you believe that. Oh yeah I wanted to tell you. I found out what happened to Karma. It seems as if she and Speed got into quite the bind if you know what I mean. Yeah it seems that Speed got Karma pregnant and once she told her parents they sent her off to live with some relatives in the states. Speed said her family might not let her come back to Canada."

I stopped talking and just stared at her. There was white gauze wrapped firmly around her head and by the looks of where the bruise was you can see it finally stopped bleeding.

After ten minutes of staring at her I realized I was humming a song and by the sound of my humming the song was based on the friendship Sam and I have.

I slowly put Sam's hand on her bed and walked over to her night stand to retrieve a pen and paper. Once I got them I jotted down the words that bounced around my head. When I finished writing them down I sang the chorus and the first verse out loud to Sam.

"Sam this song I just wrote is dedicated to you."

(A/N: The Song is 'Count On Me' by Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans)

Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there, don't be afraid
Please believe me when I say, count on

I can see that it's hurting you, I can feel your pain
It's hard to see the sunshine, through the rain, oh
I know sometimes it seems as if, it's never gonna end
But you'll get through it
Just don't give in cause you can

When I finished I wiped a tear away from my cheek and held her hand again.

"That song was beautiful." I heard Tommy say as I looked up to the doorway.

"Thank you." I said really not wanting to talk to anyone.

"Um.. The only reason why I'm back here is because Sadie wanted me to tell you she, Kwest, Eric and Natalia were all going home. And she also wanted me to stay with you just incase you needed a ride home."

"No I don't. I'm staying here with my sister until she opens her eyes. I don't care how long it takes."

"Alright." Tommy said to me. "So I guess I'll see you tomorrow." he said backing out the door.

"No Tommy. Wait. Please stay with me."

"Are you sure?" he asked me completely stunned.

"Yeah I'm sure. I want you to be here with me, hold me and tell me everything is going to be fine. Can you do that for me Tommy?"

"I can do anything for you." Tommy said as he walked over to me and hugged me.

He then took the seat behind me and sat down.

"Jude." He said as he turned me around.

"Yeah Tommy."

"I love you." he whispered as he brought my hand to his mouth and kissed it. "And I want you to know that whatever happens I'm always going to be here for you. I promise I will never break your heart and I will wait from now until forever to be with you. And only you."

Tears ran down my face as I listened to everything Tommy said. 'I love you' rang through my mind over and over again until it finally registered.

"I love you too Quincy." I said as I sat on his lap and let his arms wrap around my waist.

"By the way how did you get back here?"

"The nurse at the front desk was a closet 'Boyz Attack' fan. So she let me pass. And I also told her Sam was my sister-in-law."

"Very sneaky Mr. Quincy."

"I know. Oh yeah and Jude. Now that I have you. I'm not letting you go." he said.

"I wasn't planning on leaving." I replied as I took Samantha's hand, intertwined it with mine and fell asleep in Tommy's arms..
