Julia

Paco had taken her to the hospital. She lay in the bed, asleep and with IVs in her arms and hands. Paco was waiting in the room for her to wake up, and he stayed awake all night as they kept her at the hospital. She had a fever of 104.4, and she had two broken ribs. The cuts on her arms and body the nurses treated with antibiotic cream. Paco remained in the corner full of regret.

The nurses occasionally looked over to him when they heard him mumbling over and over again "I'm so sorry, dear Julia." Then he would look down shamefully when one of the nurses looked at him.

When she finally woke up, her fever had gone down slightly, but she was still ill. She opened her eyes to see a white room, the lights were dimmed to a glow, and there were pictures of artsy flowers around the room. In the corner was a chair, in there chair sat Paco. The man that brought this upon her. The man that took her away from her family. And the man that still had her friend.

She stared at him in horror, until he finally realized that she had woken.

"I'm so sorry, dearest Julia." He said quietly.

She stared him down with her icy blue eyes. He looked away from her eyes, afraid her gaze. His misconception haunted his every move. The blacks and whites became a muddy shade of grey ever since he had survived the explosion. He wanted to say more, but couldn't find the words to describe how sorry he felt.

But she took the words out of his head and put them into a melody.

"You are sorry, I understand. But why is all I ask." She said to him.

He couldn't answer that question.

"Can you at least free Robby. He deserves to be with family. Please."She begged him.

"Why should I do that?" He asked furiously.

The revenge in her eyes sparked with interest. "Because I'll tell them what you did to us." SHe whispered.

Paco looked at her with fear. The trouble that he could be in made him shiver down the spine. The two thoughts were swimming back and forth in his mind. Robby he had taken for what? He couldn't even remember.

Just then the temperature monitor shot up to 105.

Lucy

She had gone to back to stay with her parents for a while. They weren't to happy when she came home, since they didn't want her marrying Jude anyway. But they did love their daughter and granddaughter. When they heard the news on adorable Julia missing. Her mother fainted and her father just looked at her. Let's just say Lucy didn't stay there for long.

Jude

"Luce was staying with my parents but she left a few days ago." Max said to Jude.

"Lucy." He breathed. He missed her so much, every day he thought of her, and he regreted what he did to upset her.

"Listen, Jude. It wasn't your fault. Lucy is just upset about Julia. We will find her though. I know it." Max comforted.

Prudence and Sadie walked in the door, and the room seemed to brighten a little bit. They smiled happily and then behind them was Lucy. She looked down, ashamed of what she had done, but Jude forgave her. Always he would forgive her. He went up to her and gave her a kiss.
