Author's Note: This was posted on this site, but I deleted it. I came across it today and decided that as my favorite story I've ever written I want to share it. It's prewritten so the chapters will be posted quickly but I'm still writing them. I believe the total has come to about 15, but I don't know for sure. I'll post the official first chapter today. Read, review, and enjoy!
Prologue
Jude's POV
It started where everything started. It started in the studio one night. It was really late. I
remember the song I was working on. It was about him. Of course it was about him. It was
about lost oppurtinities and not seeing your true love. I needed to write it, but it was hard
to when he was standing right in front of me. I finished the lyrics and started singing.
I had to close my eyes as I sang. I didn't want to see him there. I was picturing him
and me all alone on a warm pretty island. I was singing to him and it was just us. No
Darius and no Sadie. Just us. I didn't even notice that I stopped singing until I heard him
open the door to the soundproof room. I opened my eyes and tried to smile, but I
suddenly felt so tired. I was tired of pretending that I just wanted to be friends
with him. I was tired of pretending that it didn't rip off little pieces of my heart when I
saw him and my sister together. I was done acting like I didn't care.
I remember that night better than any other night. I remember thinking it was
inevitable, but I still felt that little tug of guilt.
"What about Sadie?" I asked as he neared. He moved closer and closer until his
lips were almost touching mine.
"She's not you." I threw my arms around him and he kissed me. Slowly at first, but then
my fingers wrapped into his hair and his tongue licked my lip, begging for entrance. I opened my
mouth and when our tongues touched the passion multiplied.
Our tongues started a fast frenzied dance droven by love or maybe just lust.
That's when it started. That kiss changed me. Changed us. Forever.
That night I gave him all of me. He was my first. He was still on top of me when he
whispered in my ear,"I'll break-up with her tomorrow."

We started seeing each other secretly. He didn't break up with her when he
said he would, but it was okay. It was fun sneaking around. I felt a thrill I had never
felt before. I was finally with the guy I dreamt about and nothing and no one else mattered.
I didn't think they were serious. I didn't think I had anything to worry about. I thought wrong.
Tommy was acting weird for the last week or two and I was hoping that he would finally
break it off with my sister. The day finally came when I was sure they would be done. I was waiting
for him to come in and tell me the good news. I was waiting impatiently in the studio when I saw
him walk in. He looked different.
"Hey," I said to Tommy as he walked into the studio late! Again! "Where
were you?"
"I was uh well..." he stuttered.
"You did it?" I asked excitedly. "You broke up with her?"
"Look. I have to tell you something," he began, but was interrupted by
my sister who sprinted into the room. I was so confused. If they broke up why would she
be here with him?
Sadie sprinted into my studio and started jumping up and down. "Look!" she
said as she pointed to her finger. I looked down, but I couldn't figure out what she was
pointing to. Then, I saw it. A huge diamond ring. On her ring finger.
"I am engaged," she screamed pulling me
into a huge hug.
All I could do was stare. I stared at him. I continued staring even after my face was
drenched in tears. I couldn't move, my whole body was numb. I just kept staring. Even after she
pulled me into the tight hug. I just kept staring at him. He was behind her and facing me. He
looked guilty. I remember thinking 'What? That was supposed to be me! I am supposed to be
wearing that ring. Not her. Not her.'
