"Jude, I have to go." Tommy insisted as she tugged on his shirt, begging him to stay just a little longer.

Jude stood firmly in front of the door, Tommy trying to get past. "What's so great about her?" She asked, she knew she sounded foolish, but she didn't care anymore. "We found each other again."

Last night... Tommy couldn't recall most of it. But he remembered the important things. He'd been sitting at the bar, alongside Kwest, they had been talking about how long it had been since Tommy had been around. Over three years, when the room suddenly grew a little quiter and almost everyone in the room was turned towards the door. People were pointing and smiling at whoever was coming in, it had to be a celebrity.

"Celebrities." Kwest joked. "Makes me sick."

The bartender came over to them, asked if they wanted more drinks which they both agreed to quickly. "Tommy Q." A female voice called from directly behind them.

Tommy turned around, expecting to see a fan, when he saw her. "Jude." He breathed before ever registering in his brain what this meant. She stood there, waiting for a hug, or anything, but he just stared at her. She smiled though, classic Tommy, she thought. He would wait for her to say something.

"I missed you." She said sitting down on the stool next to him.

Tommy looked at her, finally seeing her. Her pale blue dress, her hair hanging in loose curls, it was longer he noticed reaching down most of her back. Tommy stil didn't say anything, and Jude sat beside him rocking from side to side on her stool, then called the bartender over, "Excuse me."

"What can I get you miss- Jude Harrison?"

She smiled, but not in an annoyed way, she was genuinly happy to meet a fan. Tommy noticed this right away, and smiled knowing that she would never change. No matter how popular she got, Jude Harrison would always be Jude Harrison. He could feel himself falling back in love with her, a place he realized he may never of left. "Just a Corona."

Tommy raised an eyebrow at her, "A Corona?" He asked smiling.

"What'd you expect?" She laughed, "An apple juice?"

"Maybe." He found himself looking her right in the eyes, he turned away from her and towards Kwest. "So have you two kept in touch."

Kwest and Jude both started laughing uncontrollably, Tommy just sat there completly confused. "What did I miss?"

Jude tried to control herself, but the laughter wouldn't stop. Finally she said, "Kwest is-" But she broke into laughter again, "Kwest is my brother-in-law."

"WHAT?" Tommy asked louder than he meant to, "When did this happen?"

"A year ago, buddy." Kwest answered. "We were engaged for about 6 months, and well you were M.I.A so there was no way to tell you."

"Why didn't you tell me earier?" Tommy asked, "We've been sitting here for a half hour!"

Kwest noticed someone walking towards them, "Speaking of, here comes Sadie."

Tommy turned around, half expecting to see her walking over with three kids at her side. But no, she was the same Sadie, but now she was married. It seemed so unreal. Three years changed everything.

"Tom." She said smiling, "Where have you been hiding?" She asked before giving a quick kiss to Kwest and then leaning against the bar between the two boys.

"New York." He answered, but she knew it all along. There were too many secrets Sadie was keeping, and Tommy was afraid he was the main reason for that.

"Kwest didn't tell me you two were meeting up. He also didn't even tell me he's talked to you lately."

Kwest hugged her waist, "Sorry, it just happened today. Tommy made an appearance at the studio and I had to grab him before he took off again. When is that exactly?"

"Tomorrow." Tommy answered quickly. He turned towards Jude to see her reaction, but she was only smiling, as if this news didn't matter to her in the least. And maybe now it didn't. "I only came over here to see how everyone's been doing."

"Any girls in New York?" Sadie asked. But she knew that answer full well. Tommy felt like he'd slipped into the Twilight Zone with Sadie. What did it matter that every so often she would call him. They had a truly superficial friendship. He'd ask about Jude, Sadie would tell him about her job. And they'd both promise to plan a visit but neither really meant it.

Why had she failed to mention the marriage. That was pretty big news. And she could have told Kwest how to reach him, but she chose not to. All along Sadie had told Tommy that Kwest didn't have time, or that he had relayed a message to Tommy. For those three years all Tommy had thought was that no one wanted to see him. Now he knew the truth, Sadie didn't want him to see them.
