A week later and Jude was waiting for Sadie to pick her up from the airport. Jude had flown to New York for her mother's funeral, Sadie had already been in New York for a week helping plan it but had told Jude not to come for the planning stage. "Spend time with Tommy, you need each other just like mum said." Had been Sadie's exact words when Jude had protested about being left behind. Jude had relented and now it was the day before the funeral. Jude was holding a small over-night bag with funeral clothes and several changes of clothes for the rest of the week. Sadie had brought over the essentials with her and reassured Jude that she wouldn't need them. Jude managed a smile when Sadie pulled up outside the airport. "Hey Jude, so how's home?" She asked as Jude pulled her seatbelt across her body.

"Good, Tommy says hi. How was it here last week? Did having Kwest here help?"

"Yeah it was kinda hard, but Kwest was a saint. Have you written any more material while I've been gone?" Question Sadie, knowing full well that with Jude it was highly probable that Jude would have some new song or other. Jude nodded silently and turned to stare out the window to watch the people they drove past, something she did when she didn't want to talk. Sadie saw this out of the corner of the eye and dropped all conversation, reaching over and turning on the radio instead.

Several minutes later they pulled up outside a modest two story house where Jude was told that her mother had lived here with a close friend for her final few months so she wasn't alone. As Jude stepped into the house she was aware that there were pictures of herself and Sadie up all over the walls, along with several framed reviews of Jude's albums and a tour poster that Jude vaguely recalled signing recently because as she'd gone to sign it somehow the poster had been torn and the corner Ripped off. Jude swallowed and blinked away her tears before following Sadie upstairs to the room they would be sharing for the rest of the time. "Hey Jude." Kwest greeted her with a sad smile and enveloped her in a hug after kissing Sadie on the cheek as her sister had passed him. "How you holding up?"

"Good thanks, nobody's heard from dad I take it then?" Jude burst out with the question she'd been longing to ask since she'd first received the letter. Where the heck was her dad during all this? It was like he'd disappeared from the face of the earth. Nobody could quite meet her eye. "What?" Nobody spoke. "Somebody tell me what happened, I know something has!"

"He got remarried, we managed to find out that much but nothing else. We have no idea where he is, who he married, if he has any more kids. Nothing." Kwest informed her in a monotone voice. Jude bit her lip and nodded.

"Great, so he's left us alone to pick up the pieces? Brilliant, just brilliant. We need him here!" Jude crumpled as Sadie pulled her distraught sister into a hug. "I just want dad back Sades, why won't he get in contact with us? Did he ever love us?"

"I don't know Jude sweetie, I honestly don't know." Sadie murmured into Jude's hair as Kwest quietly shut the door leaving the two sisters alone. "I thought that he'd hear what happened and get in touch, I waited ever day for the postman to bring me a letter from him but one never came."

"Sades, you know I said I had a song?" Sadie nodded. "Do you wanna hear it?" Sadie smiled and handed Jude her guitar.

I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
And I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better
And I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
family in crisis that only grows older

Why'd you have to go?

Why'd you have to go?

Why'd you have to go?

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am broken but I am hoping
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am crying, a part of me is dying and
These are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart

And I wear all your old clothes, your polo sweater
I dream of another you the one who would never, never
Leave me alone to pick up the pieces
Daddy to hold me, that's what I needed

So why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did u ever love me
Cause these are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart
Of a broken heart

I… love you
I… love you
I… love you
I…
I love you

Daughter to Father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me, did you ever love me
these are
The confessions of a broken heart

Oh Yeah

And I wait for the postman to bring me a letter

Jude looked up to see Sadie completely in tears. Jude set down the guitar and hugged her sister, tears spilling down her face.
