A/N Ok I've decided to write a ff and so I hope everybody likes it! So the things you need to know before reading is that this is a season 3 ff, and Tommy did leave in the season finale still, but that guy didn't take those pictures! And throughout the story I'm going to use quotes that explain the chapter, but I don't own those. Ok, so I hope everybody reads and comments/reviews, please?

The Power of Words

Chapter 1: Since you've been gone, prologue

"When i'm older, and my little girl asks me who the first person I ever fell in love with was, I don't want to pull out an old photo album, I want to be able to point across the room and say, "He's sitting right over there." Jude Harrison read aloud sitting alone in her room at her computer. She was on a Quotes site and reading the quotes aloud, considering she was alone in her room. "Psshh, yea right like that would ever happen." She said under her breath while thinking about the first person she ever fell in love with. And no he wasn't some rap star that cheated on her and broke her heart at the tender age of sixteen. But this guy was an older, more experienced guy that broke her heart at the age of sixteen AND seventeen. And ever since that night that he walked away Jude hasn't been the same. She suddenly lost all hope in true love and happieness.

After she knew she had enough of reading quotes she went on her Myspace. At first she didn't think that it was a good idea to have a Myspace profile, but after she thought about it she was curious to know how many times a day people would comment her page a day, and how many times they would comment her pictures, and how many times they would message her. So clearly the only reason she had a myspace was for her to laugh at how many crazed fans she had. So after she logged own she had "New messages", "New comments", and "New picture comments." 'Nothing new' she thought. So after going through all her comments and messages of people saying 'I love your songs!', 'Your so beautiful!', and 'I love your voice', and so on, she decided to sign off her computer and go lay down on her bed and watch TV.

She layed there on her bed flipping through the channels until she decided on "Celeberity news!" "And the latest hot topic in celeb news, 'where is Tom Quincy?' The announcer of the show started. "Many have been pondering this question since the night that he decided to leave without a word the night of his Artist Jude Harrison's release party. So we decided to get the inside scoop from Jude Harrison and see if she knows anything about her producer and why he left so abruptly!" Then the camera turned to Jude walking out of a coffee shop looking very aggravated with tons of reporters surrounding her and asking questions. "Ms. Harrison, do you know anything about your producer leaving?" One of the reporters asked, "Is it true that you are in love with Mr.Quincy?", another reporter asked. Jude looked over at the reporter with a shocked expression while the reporters waited for a response. Jude just quickly turned away and continued walking down the sidewalk. Then the camera turned back to the announcer of the show and she began talking. "Well it looks like Jude is't saying anyhting, lets just hope we find out something about the disapperence of Tom Quincy." Jude sighed loudly and turned the TV off. She got out of bed and made her way through the clothes and empty soda bottles and food wrappers that layed on her floor. She needed something to strong to drink, and since her Dad was away on a business trip for a week straight and with her sister staying at "Someones" house for the night, who was there to know, right?

"the girl who seemed unbreakable
broke
the girl who seemed so strong
crumbled
the girl who always laughed it off
cried
the girl who would 'never stop trying'
quit"
