A/N: Sorry it's been forever. And when I say forever, I mean months. lol! And the reason being is that school hated me. But now I am done. And graduated from University. So I'm jumping back into the whole writing thing. I haven't retired this fic, so….here's the update. I hope it's sufficient in making up for such a long hiatus. Thanks again for reading guys. And again, sorry for the delay.

Tommy sat up in bed with his arm around his sleeping wife. It had been so long since he'd been able to do this. To hold her close and feel her heart beat together with his. He never wanted this moment to end, but he knew that it would end soon enough because this life, this lie was going to stop. He was going to tell her the truth.

Tommy's thoughts ventured back to before the plane crash. He remembered how much his own wife despised him and how heart broken he had felt everyday. Just the way she looked at him broke him. She had blamed him for everything, but what she didn't see through all of her anger was that, he had blamed himself as well.

He looked down at Jude and he sighed, knowing what the events of the day held for him.

Her eyes fluttered open and seeing that he was awake, she smiled for him.

"Hey," she whispered with her voice still hoarse from recently waking.

"Hey," he answered with less enthusiasm. He took in a deep breath trying to muster up some courage for his next words. He didn't know if he could keep his composure any longer. He had to tell her now or he wouldn't tell her at all.

"Jude, I hate to do this so early in the morning. But we have to talk," he finally said. She sat up and looked at him confused. It was then that he looked into her blue eyes. There was love illuminating from those eyes and he knew that they would soon change to hate.

"What is it Tommy? Did I steal the blanket?"

"No," he answered with a brief chuckle. "It's nothing like that. It's about – us," he hesitated on that last word.

He watched Jude's brows scrunch to show her confusion, and that's when he felt his heart begin to race. This was it, it was time. He just hoped she wouldn't hate him forever.

"Jude, I haven't been – completely honest with you," he started but he couldn't continue. He could barely breathe as he spoke the words.

Jude's attention was diverted when she heard the bell ring at the door.

"Oh my god!" Jude jumped out of the bed and raced into the closet.

"Jude, where are you going?"

"I completely forgot Sadie was going to pick me up this morning. We were gonna have breakfast!" Jude answered from inside the closet. He could hear the rustling of hangers and he scratched his head, frustrated.

"Jude, can you just hold up a second?" He called out trying to follow her to the closet. But by then she had run out and was heading to the bathroom.

"Sorry Tommy can we talk later? I have to take a shower. Can you answer the door please?!" she pleaded before running into the bathroom with a towel and robe bunched between her arms.

"Wait, Jude! I'm trying to tell you something!" He said but it was too late. She had already closed the door behind her. He groaned loudly before stomping downstairs to answer the door.

Tommy swung the door open for Sadie to walk in but when he looked again he noticed that it wasn't a blonde leggy woman at the door, but a suited man with a beard and shaggy hair.

"Can I help you?" Tommy asked rather rudely.

"Thomas Randall Quincy?" The man asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, that's me."

"Sign here please," the man said handing him a pen and a clipboard. Tommy signed and the man handed him a manila envelope.

"Here you go pal. Enjoy," he said with a wave of a hand. He clutched onto the clipboard and climbed into his delivery truck and drove away.

Tommy opened the envelope and pulled out the documents hidden within it. Opening it from its tri-fold, he began to read. It was then that he stopped breathing completely, and tears started to well on the rims of his eyes.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND DECREED:

The bonds of matrimony now existing between the Plaintiff and the Defendant are dissolved on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, and the Plaintiff is awarded an absolute decree of divorce from the defendant.

Plaintiff: Jude E. Harrison Quincy – signed.

Defendant: Thomas R. Quincy – unsigned.

She was going to divorce him. And she was going to do it while she was on tour.

Tommy's thoughts were interrupted when there was another knock on the door. This time it was Sadie.

He tried with all the strength left in him to hide what he was feeling right now, which was hurt. Heart wrenching, and an unbearable hurt.

"Hi Sadie," he greeted sadly without making eye contact with her.

"Tom," she acknowledged him not feeling the need to be polite to him because they weren't in Jude's presence. He heard the hard clicking of her heels on the tiled floors as she walked into his home and his thoughts ventured back to the papers. She had wanted a divorce! How could he have been so stupid as to think that they could work things out?

"Umm, Sadie can you tell Jude I had to leave," Tommy said without waiting for her response. He bolted out the door and into his Viper. He needed to get away and think.

Jude felt the hot liquid flow through her body as she drank her chai tea. She was listening to Sadie talk for the last half hour about her invitations. Jude just smiled, acting interested by throwing in the occasional "mhmm" or nod. But what was really on her mind was Tommy. It was only now that she realized he had been really serious this morning. He had wanted to tell her something, but she was so busy trying to get ready that she hadn't acknowledged it until now.

Sadie suddenly stopped speaking when she noticed that Jude wasn't really interested in her ramblings about cake decorations. She nervously fiddled with her fingers and she avoided Jude's eyes as she began to speak again.

"Jude, I – didn't just ask you to breakfast to talk about my wedding," she swallowed the lump in her throat and took another sip of her coffee. "Actually it was more like an excuse…to talk."

Jude had set her cup and was now fully attentive to her sister.

"What is it Sadie?" She asked.
