Chapter Forty Eight: The Final Karaoke Night
Jude woke up next to his girlfriend. He was happy now. Since he had less than 2 weeks, he was going to spend all the time he had left with Paige. His phone buzzed before he picked it up. He looked and saw a text from Byron telling him that he didn't have to take classes anymore and that Abby and Lexi explained the whole situation to him. He sat up in his bed and woke up Paige in the process.
She looked up at her boyfriend to see him looking at his phone. "Morning love. What's that?" She hugged him.
"Just a text from your uncle. He said that I don't need to take any more classes. And he also said that you can take classes off to spend time with me." He said before looking into her eyes. 'God she's so beautiful.' He thought.
She just snuggled up against him as soon as he was done speaking. His time with Jay was nice before they went to juvie but now this feels special. Jude liked Paige ever since Byron introduced them to each other. He was just too stubborn to admit it because of how he was at the time. Now he's actually greatful for what his friends did to him.
"So what do you wanna do?" Jude asked before she said, "I just wanna stay here with you love." She said before she got up and straddled herself on his lap. "Maybe I can teach you how to kiss someone properly." She said.
He panicked a bit in his mind since she was on his private area and her books were pressing against his chest. She leaned in for a kiss but the only thing he thought repetitively was, 'Don't pop a boner, don't pop a boner, don't pop a boner.'
"Paige, isn't this a little too fast?" He asked his girlfriend who said, "Jude, we don't have all the time in the world, and you're dying in less than two weeks so taking things slow is out of the question right now."
It made sense. He knew he didn't have that much left to live so he had to throw all logic out of the window. He then went in for it.

Day 2
_________
Jude was on the couch in the common room playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate with Beat. Jude used Samus and Beat used Ryu. Right now Jude was kicking the crap out of his friend.
They were both on their last life and both had sustained heavy damage. A smash ball appeared and both rushed in for it but Jude's eyes were covered, thus allowing Beat to get it and use his final smash to knock Jude off of the stage, making him lose.
Once the match was done, Jude's eyes were uncovered to show him that he lost and that Beat was doing a victory dance.
"Hey no fair man, I had a handicap. I demand a rematch." Jude complained before he looked to see Paige. "Come on Jude, we were supposed to meet Malcom and Tori outside five minutes ago." He smiled before he walked with her out of the dorms.
The two had a double date with the expecting couple. They all went out and had fun around the time. It was limited due to Tori's pregnancy but they still enjoyed their time none the less. Her cravings weirded Jude and Paige but Malcom was pretty much used to it. He knew what he was signing up for in the beginning.
The four even went to the amusement park. The only ones who got to go on the rides were Malcom and Paige. That left Jude and Tori alone with each other.
"So what's being pregnant like." Jude asked her. "It's a literal pain in my back and my ass. Mainly my back though. I just want this baby to finish growing up and to get out." Tori told Jude.
"Tobi still pissed?" The dying teen asked. "He was but now he's just excited at the thought of being an uncle."
"Please tell me you'll name the baby after me." Jude asked before she said, "Sure. I'm Judith would be a nice name for our little girl."
"You know the gender?" Jude was surprised. "Yeah, Malcom doesn't know because he wants it to be a surprise. He's convinced that we're having a boy."
"That's Malcom for ya." Jude laughed weakly before Tori giggled. "Yeah, and that's why I love him. I'm gonna miss you ya know."
"Hey, that kid is gonna carry my my name. I just hope that she is like the guy who she's named after." Jude said trying to avoid any depressive feelings. "We all have to go eventually so all we can do is live in the moment and live life to its fullest."
"Death really is changing you. I'm still gonna miss you Jude." She said before she hugged him.

Day 6
________
The last few days have been mellow and boring since there was no excitement. It was one thing today that everyone prepared for. Karaoke night in the dorm. Jude seemed relatively joyful despite the fact that his clock was quickly reaching zero. He didn't let that deter him.
It was time. Everyone had their snacks and drinks and it was now time to get things started.
First up to go was Jace.
The next was Johnny
After was Lexi
Then it was Paige
After her was Note
None of the guys were brave enough but Jude stood up.
"You sure you can make it man?" Malcom asked. "Yeah, ever since you got sick you haven't been able to sing." Abby added.
"Don't worry about me." Jude smirked before he took the mic and chose his song.
Everyone cheered after Jude landed it. His voice might have gone bad but he pulled through one last time. Jude himself was even jumping up and down in celebration before a sharp pain took place in his torso.
He dropped down and Paige rushed to his side to check on him. Nobody knows what was going on, but Jude knew. He knew what was happening.
