Before The Storm
"I know this isn't what I wanted. I never thought it'd come this far. I'm thinking back to where we started, and how we lost all that we are."
Prologue
I've been married to Tommy Quincy for five years now. I remember our wedding day. Oh, I was such a nervous wreck. I had a Victorian style dressed picked out for me by my stylist, it was so beautiful! Everything about it was perfect, but still, I had cold feet. Sadie assured me it was normal. I couldn't help but wonder if I was ready. After all Tommy and I have been through, could we really make it last?
I remember when we first met. I was kind of peeved that boy band Tom Quincy was going to be my producer, but it worked. It really worked. He wasn't at all what I thought, and before I knew it, I had a crush on him. I wasn't some Boyz Attack fan. I was really into this guy. But when we kissed on my sixteenth birthday, and I knew he cared about me to, it all came tumbling apart. It took us a long time to really be together. We were forbidden. But as we all know forbidden love is the most tempting.
Now, here we are, five years down the road. We have no children; I'm not ready. I want to keep my focus on my career. I know I wouldn't have time for a child. And I don't want some nanny raising it. But I guess that's all very well, considering I was just told we should have a "trial separation". Like, honestly, we are married…why should we separate? Oh, I know we've been fighting like crazy. It seems like all we do is get on each other's nerves. Tom thinks I work too much. I think he doesn't get out enough. It's this endless cycle.
"Jude, I just don't know if I can do it anymore. All we do is fight."
"So you want to divorce?" I snap, on the verge of tears.
"No. I really don't. What do you want?"
"Maybe…" I let my anger take control, "Maybe you should just leave. Now."
