So since I had no actual conversations to choose from in Friday's episode I decided I could make up one. So here is some phone calls between Tommy and Jude that I think could have taken place. Enjoy!
R and R please!
"Tough love Andrews…if you really want to save her," Tommy said and then added, "and if you can figure out where she went."
Jamie nodded but then realized who he was talking to, who's advice he was taking. "How 'bout I'll take care of Patsy when you start taking care of Jude."
"What are you talking about?" Tommy asked confused.
"Guess who's Patsy's new best friend," Jamie said smirking.
Tommy took a deep breath before walking out of the room. He didn't even make it to his office before he had his cell phone out and was dialing Jude's number. It was the longest five seconds of his life but she finally answered.
"Hello," she said softly.
"Jude, where are you?" Tommy asked skipping the pleasantries.
"With a friend," Jude said after a moment of silence had gone by. "Why?"
"Would that friend happen to be Patsy?" Tommy asked slowly.
"Yes," Jude said just as slowly.
"Jude you need to get away from her," Tommy said getting a very bad feeling.
"What?! No!" Jude said loudly.
"Jude I'm serious," Tommy said ignoring her outburst. He started pacing in his office. "Patsy's losing it. She's on the fast track to a break down and I'd rather you not be around her when she self destructs."
"I'm sorry you feel that way Tommy," Jude said quietly. She was staring at Patsy who was throwing rocks into the lake. "Because I don't abandon friends when they need me the most. Patsy may be losing it but the last thing she'll see before she self destructs is me standing beside her."
"Jude!" Tommy yelled. "She won't even see you. In the end she'll just resent you. Please, just let Jamie handle her."
"Jamie," Jude said laughing. "He's the reason she's upset in the first place."
"If you really believe that than you really know nothing about the real world," Tommy said shaking his head.
"No Tommy," Jude said softly. "If there is one thing I know a lot about it's the real world."
Tommy closed his eyes when he heard the click telling him she had hung up the phone. He'd blown that but he was really good at messing up with Jude. But even though he knew he was right, he was just going to have to let Jude figure out this lesson on her own.

"She's really messed up," Jamie said shaking his head as he finished gathering up all the paper that was littering the floor.
"I didn't realize how much," Jude admitted as she remembered Tommy's phone call. She didn't want to admit to herself that he was right but he was. She had no idea how for gone Patsy was.
"Jude," Jamie said breaking into her thoughts. "Your phone is ringing."
Jude nodded walking over to her bag where she pulled out her phone, not really surprised to see Tommy's name flashing on the screen. "Hello," she said walking back into the studio where less than an hour ago Patsy had destroyed a laptop.
"Jude," Tommy said softly. "I just wanted…I had to know-"
"I'm fine," Jude said interrupting him. Who knew how long it would have taken him to spit the words out. "Just picking up some of Patsy's mess from our day out together."
"Is she-" Tommy started to say but he stopped.
"I don't know where she is," Jude said picking up the bigger pieces of glass and throwing them in the trash can by Darius's desk. "She left Jamie and I awhile go pissed off and drunk. Too drunk to be driving but she wasn't listening to either of us. I didn't want to admit it but you were right. I had no idea what I was dealing with."
"I wish you still didn't," Tommy said quietly. "But I'm glad you're okay."
"So," Jude said deciding a change of subject was in order. "How was your date with my sister?"
"What?" Tommy asked confused but then he caught on. "Oh Jude that wasn't a date."
"It's okay Tommy," Jude said smiling. "I knew it was a business thing. I just love making you scramble for answers."
"Well," Tommy said smiling on his end of the phone. "I'll see you tomorrow…"
"Bye," Jude said slowly closing her phone. She was smiling until she looked around at the mess. She couldn't believe what Patsy had done to G Major and she wasn't going to be the one to tell Darius what had happened. She'd let Jamie take that job.
