Dear journal,
Man I haven't written in forever. Tommy. Tommy. Tommy. Why'd he leave? Not even telling me where he was planning on going. How could he think that I wouldn't care. He knows I can't function right without him. Yet again hurricane Tommy brushes through my world completely changing it. How could I let myself fall for him again? I thought we were actually reaching a breakthrough. But here I go again. Wrong like always. Here I am brokenhearted. When will I learn. I just want to break from this hold he has on me. It's always he kisses me then leaves. I wonder when he'll come back. I refuse to believe he's gone completely. Not from me at least. How could I have spent all this time with him and not even see this coming. It's been only 2 days and I miss him like crazy already. I know my c.d is already in the bag and we're all free to take a break. But he did not give me a nice formal goodbye. I wonder where he is right now and what he's doing I hope he's ok.
-------------------------------------
Tommy sat on a swing chair in the front porch of the Montana ranch. He stared out to the trees. Natures aroma rising his senses. This has been a crazy 2 dayshe thought to himself. His mind soon drifted off to Jude. Shye seemed to be the star of his thoughts these days.She probably hates me right about now. I left her hanging. I know I couldn't have told her anything anyways. But I shouldn't have left her the way I had did. Man, the look on her face when I got in the car. I couldn't look back. I couldn't give her a hug. Because if I did I wouldn't be doing what I'm supposed to do. I wish I knew how she is doing. That she's not moping around like a complete wreck. But she knows I'll be back. Someday...

Jude was laying in her bed writing lyrics humming a beat to the words.

My heart is hanging on string.
I don't know what the future may bring.
Hope is dangling on thread.
Everynight I cry and just lay in bed.

I keep trying to go on without you.
Don't know if I can pull through.

Heart is made of glass.
Don't think the sadness will pass.
I keep telling myself not to feel the way I do.
Lonely days so blue.
I just want one glimpse of you. Haven't seen your smile.
My heart is so fragile.

Her thoughts were stopped by a knock on the door. " Come in" Jude said
"hey little sister" Sadie said walking in
"Thought you were going to hang out with Portia"
" I am. I just wanted to see how you were holding up before I left"
" I'm fine so you can go out and have fun now" Jude said picking up her notebook.
"you know you can come if you want to" Sadie suggested
"Really?"
"of course. Get dressed" she said pulling Judes arm
"Ok. Ok hold on I'm getting up" she said getting off the bed. Sadie smiled and walked out of the room. JUde got changed into some tathered jeans and a white wife beat that had beaded glitter flowers on it. She put on her white chucks and ran downstairs. Sadie grabbed her purse and walked out to Sadies bug. "We're going to meet Portia at Cafe'Le" Sadie said getting in the car. Jude opened the door and slowly got in. They got to the cafe. Jude and Sadie saw Portia. They sat down at her table. Jude looked at Sadie then at Portia thinking.Hmm why did I agree to go?. They ordered their drinks then Judes mind drifted off to Tommy as Sadie and Portia talked. I just wish that he'd call me she thought as she looked down at her phone It feels like he just evaporated of the face of the earth. Jude looked up at Sadie and Portia sipping her cup acting like she was actually paying attention to what they were saying. She couldn't think about anything else. At the point she wished she had lost her memory. To just forget everything. The night of her record release and Tommy most of all. Sadie looked at Jude "Jude.." she said snapping her fingers in Judes face. "What?" Jude said perking her head up.
"We're going to go meet some of Portias friends"
"Umm I walk home and you two can go" Jude said taking one last sip of her coffee.
" You sure"
"Yea"
"Alright" Sadie said walking away with Portia. Jude slowly walked home. She went straight upstairs and past out on her bed.

A week later. Tommy was sitting on a chair next to a bed where an ill young woman is laying. A man walked into the room. "There's nothing we can do for her"
"There's got to be something. Just keep trying. I'm not going to let Susan die"
"It's just going to be the same as before. Nothing will turn her sickness around"
The woman opened her eyes. "Tommy.."
"Susan you're awake. He's going to try to save you"
"Tommy he can't help me. This is in Gods hands now"
"Susan don't talk like this"
"I'm so happy that you're here helping me but there's nothing he can do. I know this for sure. I've known this for a long time"
"Don't give up"
"Thank you for being here Tommy you're such a great little brother" she said slowly closing her eyes
"Susan" he said moving her arm. She didn't move. The man ran over to her and checked her pulse. He slowly shook his head. Tommy dropped his head in his hands. A little girl walked in. "Mommy" she said in a low tone.
Tommy turned to her and got up. He picked her up and walked into the next room. He didn't want to see his niece see it. He too couldn't take to see it. A man who was crying walked to Tommy and picked up the little girl. "Thanks for being here Tom"
"It's no problem Richard. I'm so sorry"
"It's okay. At least I'm still here to take care of Susan and mines little girl"
"I.." Tommy said starting to choke up "I'm going to get a drink of water". He didn't want to stay in the house. Everything his sister had touched. She was like his best friend. When his parents scolded him for being in the music industry she stuck by him and now she's gone.
