A/N: Hey everybody! This is a new fic by yours truly. Those of you who are fans from the boards, you'll already know this fic. I was only posting this in one place because, for awhile, it was on the bottom of my priority list. I recently decided to re-vamp this and now…well, I feel it's a good enough fic to post here as well. I hope all you ff.ners enjoy this!
Summary: Season 2 Fic. Takes place before Jude returns home from touring. I don't really know how else to explain, but it's about Jude coming home from tour and finding how everything changes. This is my take on Season 2 (from all the spoilers and theories I've read, so if you recognize a small plot bunny, you probably saw my theory posted on a message board). Hope you all enjoy!
Please note! This fic is in no way tied into Two Worlds Collide/Shattered Reality/Broken Dreams trilogy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, except possible song lyrics that are all my own. Seriously, if I owned Tommy, do you really think I'd be writing fanfics?
Hope you all enjoy!
Chapter 1
Tom Quincy stepped off the airplane and glanced in the waiting area to look for his girlfriend, Sadie Harrison. The couple had decided to meet in Rome and Tommy would stay a week or two with her in her venture in Europe. Tommy had to admit, he was glad to get out of Canada and go see the world again. In his Boyz Attack days, they had done a world tour, but it was hard to see the world when you were on a tight schedule and constantly followed by reporters and tabloid journalists, not that the later didn't change all that much, but it was different all the same.
As he stepped further away form the terminal, a cheery voice caught his ears. He glanced over to the right and saw Sadie with a beaming smile on her face. He smiled back at her, and chuckled at her excitement to see him.
"Hey," She greeted as he stopped by her side.
"Hey," He said, and kissed her quickly. Sadie seemed disappointed when he pulled away, but he didn't notice it.
"How was your flight?" Sadie asked as the couple made their way out of the airport (one thing Tommy learned on tour was, how to pack light and cram as much crap as you could in as little space as possible; it seems that little trick came in handy when it came to flying). Tommy shrugged.
"Long, boring…" Tommy said, and paused a moment. "Before I had about half the plane recognize who I was…and then it went downhill." Sadie grinned and laughed.
"Price of fame, huh?" She asked, and leaned into him. Tommy didn't respond and just wrapped his arm around her shoulders. He liked Sadie, but he still hadn't decided how much he liked her. He was leery of their relationship from the get-go. He liked Jude…possibly cared for her more than he would ever admit, and he didn't want to loose her as a friend or as an artist. He knew a relationship with her sister would only complicate their already complicated relationship even further, but he couldn't help but turn his head each time Sadie walked into the room. She walks around with her own personal spot light, and frankly? She didn't carry the drama or the jail bait issue, that Jude did. Sadie honestly liked him and he couldn't help but feel an attraction to the blonde over achiever that stood beside him. And there was no complications with Sadie; there was no work issues, no celebrity relationship, no PR on the relationship and it wasn't complicated. Until Jude found out and reamed him for his transgressions, or lack-there-of.
"Tommy?"
"Hu?" Tommy said, glancing at Sadie's annoyed face.
"Where you even listening to a word I was saying?" She stopped walking and stared into his eyes, her eyes boring into his. Tommy shook his head, slightly amused. Sadie had a temper, but she just couldn't match the fire that her sister had…why was he still comparing them? He asked himself, and promised himself he would push all thoughts of Jude away for this week. He owed himself that, hell, he owed Sadie that much.
"Sorry," Tommy said, giving her a small smile. "Jet-lagged." He said, which wasn't completely false, but his mind wasn't completely on Sadie at the moment. No more Jude thoughts. Tommy told himself. Sadie seemed to buy his answer and rambled on about all the sights she had seen in Europe thus far. Tommy couldn't help but let his mind wander, wondering how the tour was going for his Instant Star.
