Say Something I'm Giving Up On You

10: Deep Thoughts

Judy was lying down in bed that night. She was afraid to sleep because she knew that she'd only dream of nightmares, especially after what happened to Nick earlier that day. Nick. Nick...That fox...That sly, charming, handsome...Wait a minute. Since when had she ever thought of him as handsome?

"I can't have feelings for him," Judy told herself. "I don't even want nor have feelings for him. He needs to be the one to find his love, even if it is Alay. And like Nick, I should find my special someone too.

"Nick and I have never nor ever will have feelings for each other. We're just friends, and anything stronger than that just might ruin our friendship."

Judy decided that whatever Nick chose to do with his life, she'd respect his decision. She had to be happy for him, even if his new girlfriend was Alay. Darn, I forgot to look up her records...Wait...If Judy was thinking those things then obviously she didn't respect Nick's choice. Even though she didn't have feelings for Nick, as a friend, she still looked out for him. Nick didn't make the smartest decisions. She picked that up from his past. Even now he was pretty bad at decisions. Her mind flashed back to a time when they went out to get ice cream together. Nick picked the Chili Jalapeno flavor ice cream (Judy still wondered why that was even a thing) just because the name sounded cool to him. But when he began to eat that ice cream...Man, did he regret it. His went into a whole coughing fit and his face turned red. He began to complain about how nasty it tasted and how that should have never been invented.

As Judy thought about this, she suddenly came to realization. Did Nick also just pick Alay just because of her 'title?' Did he think that she looked like a fun, nice, pretty vixen and just because of that he started dating her? A cold shudder ran through Judy's body as she thought more about this. What if this good-sounding title (Alay) turned out to hurt him terribly just like the Chili Jalapeno ice cream did? Judy did NOT want Nick to get hurt. He had no idea who Alay was (just like her had no idea what that ice cream flavor would taste like.) Alay—being a sly fox—could seriously hurt him. Nick had gone through a lot of pain in his past. He didn't need some more pain in his life. Judy had to stop this 'Bad Title' before it went too far with Nick and hurt him.

The thought of pain suddenly brought Judy's mind back to earlier. Nick had almost hurt her earlier. And like he also said, he could have killed her! What on earth was happening to Nick? Why was he going savage? Actually, Doctor Barns said that it was beyond savage. He was still trying to find the cure for his patient, Jaws. This made Judy even more uneasy. The Doctor said that Nick wouldn't go savage like the bear, but how could he prove that to be true? He couldn't! Nick could go savage just as well as Jaws did! Judy sat up in her bed and wrapped her arms around her knees. She shivered at this horrid, yet possible thought. Judy hardly noticed the tears coming to her eyes. Nick could go savage and never return back to his old self! What if it happened tomorrow? What if it was happening right now?!

I'll just keep myself on guard, Judy sniffed, a couple of tears rolling onto her nose. She wiped them with the back of her paw as she looked outside her window. Just a street away was Nick's apartment. What could be happening to him right now? I have got to watch out for myself when I'm around Nick. He could go wild...My Nick...I don't...Don't...

Judy couldn't get herself to think of the words. It's okay to think them, Judy thought. Just because you think them doesn't mean that they'll come true.

I cannot say them! Judy battled with herself. Because, it could happen, especially if Nick does go beyond savage!

Judy's other side argued with her head. Are you doubting the doctor? Doctors' predictions are usually right! Doctor Barns will help Nick get through this! Don't fret!

Judy snorted. Usually, huh? I don't want Nick to...

Judy shook her head as she held it in her paws. She couldn't say it! She couldn't! But her other side seemed as if it won the fight as she cried out, "I don't want Nick to die!"

A couple more tears spilled out of her eyes as she held in her breath. She felt as if she had screamed that out. Her loud neighbors must of thought of her as crazy if they heard her. But thankfully, nobody had heard her at all. Judy sighed and wiped away the last of her tears. She lied back down in bed. She closed her eyes, and with one last thought, she told herself, Tomorrow is another day...
