A/N: So here's another Fic brought upon procrastination. I have it all planned out, unlike my other fic where I just go with the flow. I don't think a summary is necessary. I'd like to leave it to your imaginations on how Jude and Tommy came together and how their lives have changed. Anything vital, I'll explain within the story. I hope you enjoy!

Introduction

Take a look around. See the silk blue sky to your right and the piercing sun to your left. The world moves 'round but you won't see it if you don't stop. Plan. Plan all you want. Live your life, fall in love, and get married. But remember: Sometimes — Life doesn't always go as you planned.

Chapter One - When We Assent to Fate

Tommy and Jude walked into their lavish home after a rather long and tedious night at the academy awards. Tommy with his Oscar in hand should have been happy tonight but instead his wife soured his joy. Someone who should have been sharing this accomplishment with him had made him feel second-class once again.

"Well that was a lot of fun." Tommy stated making his sarcasm known to his wife of 3 years.

"I think it was." Jude said smiling as she sat in front of her vanity taking off her Tiffany Stars earrings that Tommy had given her for their second anniversary. Tommy fiddled with his cufflinks, struggling to pull them loose from their caging restraints, while he tried to figure out his own wife. Why did she always feel the need to hurt him?

"Yeah, I'm sure flirting with Mickey Cooper all night would make it that way." He said bitterly, making sure he hid the hurt that he felt at that moment. He had irately watched his wife talk to 'the newbie of the year' all night, while she had completely ignored him. Even when he had won the award for best actor she gave him a simple hug and congrats, and then that was it.

"Oh, Tom. Don't get jealous, he was just being polite." She stated slyly letting out a little schoolgirl giggle. He rolled his eyes and continued to undress out of his tuxedo. Feeling choked by the overwhelming hold of his bowtie, he picked at it until he finally got it loose. Somehow after he had, he noticed that he could breathe just a little bit better.

"That was not polite. That was full on fornication."

"Tommy! Don't start this again, okay?" Jude shouted from frustration.

"Start what? I'm not starting anything. I'm just telling you what I saw." He said, as his tone became a little louder, matching Jude's. He didn't want to fight, but he wouldn't just take it anymore. "You know what? Maybe I should just sleep in the guestroom tonight."

"Don't. I'm leaving in a few minutes anyways." Jude said annoyed, making her way to their walk-in closet and pulling out an already packed leather suitcase.

"Where the hell are you going?" Tommy asked in shock. Somehow his heart had felt like it jumped out of his body and she was strategically stomping on it.

"The tour Tommy! Jesus! Don't you even pay attention when I speak?!" Jude shouted in utter annoyance.

Tommy mumbled a few obscenities under his breath, remembering that his wife had a European tour that she would start tomorrow. Taking a deep breath he calmed his self and let go of any aggravation that was left in him.

"Jude," he whispered softly. "Let me take you to the airport. See you off." He was going to be separated from his wife for another 3 months, and he didn't want the last conversation they had to be a fight. Especially when these separations seemed to happen more frequently with their ever-busying lives.

"Don't bother." Jude said shortly with the same angry tone she had earlier, brushing off Tommy's sudden sympathy towards her. This was enough. Tommy had tried everything to make things better, but everything he did or said was never right.

"Jesus, Jude! Are you ever going to get over it? Huh?" As soon as he had said it he regretted it. Especially when he felt the sharp sting across his cheek from the slap that Jude had furnished.

"Don't you ever bring that up again!" This time Jude's tone wasn't anger. She was hurt and he knew it. He crossed the line. But he had had enough. He didn't like or want the life that they had built together.

"You know what? I'm done." He said wiping his hands clean figuratively in the air.

"Thank god." She said simply as she made her way out of their home, suitcase in hand.

Jude sat in the soft leather seat of the plane and reveled in the comfort it brought to her. The sun was beginning to come out and she looked out the tiny window to her right and marveled at the blue sky that surrounded her. She loved to fly simply because of this. Because where she was now was where she could be closer to the heavens, and closer to happiness.

Taking a deep breath in, with her eyes closed she felt peace. Peace that hadn't been present for a very long time. And at that moment, she forgot what she had tried so hard to forget. But at that same moment, fate had a different path for her. She felt plane begin to buckle and soon a sound like a thousand bees flying past would be heard as the plane came to a perilous halt. Knocked unconscious, Jude lay helpless in the heap of the stream that would engulf her.

Back home at the estate Tommy sat in a rocking chair with his cell phone in his hands. He wanted so bad to make things right with Jude, but she would never let him. He had hurt her too much and it was his entire fault. But he loved her and he decided that whatever she would put him through she was worth it. Finally dialing her phone number he lifted the receiver to his ear and prepared himself to win back the woman he would love forever. It rang, and rang until he finally got her voicemail.

"Baby, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean what I said. I'm a jackass I know. I'm just—frustrated, I guess. But I need you. You know you're everything to me and I wish you'd let me back in. But this really isn't voicemail talk. Call me when you land, girl. I love you." Tommy put his cell phone down and looked out the window and looked up, losing himself in the greatness of the sky. Somehow asking fate to help him get his wife back. He loved her, but was it enough for them?
