How things had changed, thats all Jude could think of as she'd been sitting on the counter in the womans restroom. Sadie stood in front of the mirror fixing her hair and checking her eye shadow. As she used her pinky to fix a smudge above her left eye she turned her head towards Jude, Jude however did not make eye contact. She knew how icy Sadies glares had become over the years.

"Just try and behave yourself tonite." Sadie growled. "No more of this lashing out. I'm tired of having to be your mother."

Jude laughed. How dare Sadie even assume that what she was doing was 'mothering'. So Jude had hit a rough patch? Who in her line of work hadn't? It's not like she was out bashing cars with umbrellas.

"Alright MOM." Jude said through gritted teeth. "I havn't done anything tonite. So just calm down."

Sadie backed away from the mirror and allowed herself to get a full view of her alfit. Tight red shirt, tight black skinny jeans, high healed shoes and her flawless blonde hair teased to look bigger. She fluffed her hair then turned to Jude,"Yet." Sadie added bitterly. "You havn't dont anything YET. So let's keep it that way."

Jude suddenly had the urge to spit on her sister, but she surpressed it. God how these pills made her crazy.

"You should go out there first." Jude said. "I need a minute to calm down."

"Yea right, like I'm going to leave you alone with Kwest here. He'd kill me."

"Dear old big brother. Tell him to leave me alone."

Sadie sighed, "Trust me, I do. Just calm yourself down and let's go back out there. God, you act like Tommy came to see you or something. He didn't even call to tell you he's back in town."

Judes heart sank. Sadie had been cruel lately, but that was just too much. "You've become a real bitch." Jude spat at her sister.

"And you, dear sister, are a real pill popper. We all have our problems, now let's go."

Tommy knew what he had to do; he had to get Jude alone. All he could do was think that Jude had been "sick" for the past three years, and that maybe she'd needed him in that time. After about 10 minutes the girls finally returned. As they walked out Tommy quickly noticed the smile on Judes face, "a mask" he thought to himself. That smile was a lie that he wouldn't let work on him.

Jude knew the smile would work, it never failed. She used it to fool reporters, fans, and even family. Although now, one look at Tommy, and she knew it wouldn't work. He suddenly looked sad for her. That was the one face she'd been avoiding for the past three years.

Jude quickly started planning her escape, she looked around the room as she got closer to Tommy. There was a back exit not too far from them. She could say she had to meet up with a friend at the back of the bar, and then never come back. Sadie was easy to fool, she'd constantly let Jude out of her sight, but it was Kwest that she worried about. He was always on top of every move she made.

"Well, I should probably-" Jude started saying as she got within ear shot of the boys , but before she could finsih excusing herself from the group, Tommy grabbed her by the wrist and started leading her towards the back exit. He could feel Sadies eyes on him. When he looked back and beyond Judes confused face he saw Sadie start following behind them.

"Tommy what are you-" Jude started asking, but she could see the confusion in his eyes as well, so she just quickened her pace and allowed herself to trust him once again.
