I know this chapter is kind of boring, but there was something in the middle of the chapter that is really important to the story, so I couldn't, as much as I wanted to, scrap it. I promise the next chapters will be better!


Chapter One: Perfect

"You ok?" A soft voice asked from behind Jude. She jumped slightly and turned around to see Sadie standing on the front steps, giving her a sympathetic look.

Jude sniffled and nodded, turning back to look at the road as more tears fell down her cheeks, "Yeah, I'm fine."

"I'm not stupid. I know something's wron… oh," Sadie realized what was wrong, and walked up behind Jude, putting her hand on her younger sister's shoulder, "He'll be back before you know it Jude."

Jude shook her head and sniffled, "I miss him already, Sades. And it has only been like five minutes!"

"You'll be fine Jude," Sadie assured her, wrapping Jude in a hug.

"Really? Because I don't feel so fine right now," Jude mumbled, her voice off because of her stuffy nose.

"It'll take some time Hon, but I'm sure that soon you'll be great."

"How long will that take?" Jude asked as she rested her head on Sadie's shoulder. Sadie shrugged and hugged Jude.

"I'm not sure, but he's only gone for a couple months- then you'll be back in his arms."

Jude shook her head, "Sadie, he's going on tour with many female fans! You can't guarantee he'll still want me when he's back."

"That means nothing against him Jude. He really cares about you," She laughed lightly, "And even if your family hates him, he hasn't backed out before. What makes you think he will now?"

"The fact that I'm nothing special. I mean really Sades, I'm not blonde, I suck in school, I'm not a cheerleader, I'm not perfect."

"Exactly why Tom likes you. You're different, you're not like other girls! And you are amazing on a guitar, unlike over 90 percent of the girls in your grade. You're special Jude."

Jude scoffed, "I never play the guitar anymore Sades. You know that."

"I know you do, and even if I don't agree with the reason why not…"

"Because Mom got it for me before she died!" This brought a fresh set of tears to her eyes, "She got it for me and told me that she wanted me to keep it as a memory of her. So that's what I'm doing, I just don't want something to break, or something to happen to it!" Sadie held onto Jude tightly.

"Mom bought it for you so you could play it and be happy with it. Keeping it in the corner of your room and not touching it unless to clean it is not what she would have wanted."

There was a silence where the sisters embraced each other tightly and thought about their troubles. Their mother dying from a rare disease that the doctors could not figure out how to treat had left them with their father, who they now lived with.

"It hurts to play it, or even look at it. I know Mom and I didn't have a good relationship once the divorce and everything happened, but it still hurts to think about her…" Jude trailed off, pulling away from her older sister's embrace.

"And I bet Tom held you when you needed to cry about her, too; didn't he?" Jude let out a small sob and nodded, "Only someone who loved you would do that for you. Spied and Jamie have done that for you, I'm sure, and I know they love you- just not in the way that Tom loves you…"

Jude crossed her arms over her chest and sniffled, "I…"

"You trust him, right?" Sadie asked. Jude nodded, "Then you have to trust his actions, too. It's the only way your relationship is going to work."

"I trust him, I just don't think I'm…" She thought for a moment, "good enough for him I guess."

"Why the hell not?" Sadie asked, pulling Jude over to the steps, sitting down.

"He's famous, I'm just an ordinary girl. I don't get what he even sees in me."

"Jude, you're overreacting way too much to this! He's just going on tour, not having a competition for the best girlfriend award or something!" Sadie reminded her. Jude nodded and bit her lip.

"I'm gonna go to bed," Jude said quietly. Sadie nodded, and watched her sister get off the concrete steps and walk back into the house, only partially closing the door after herself.
