After the day that Shelbi had brought Tommy to the airport to stop Jude and Hope, they hadn't seen her since then, and Hope, Jude, and Tommy were acting like a real family. They did everything together. They had even moved in with Tommy. Everything was perfect, until Jude got a call, it was from Jamie.

Scene: Jamie's House
Jamie had been sitting around, just watching TV, when he changed the channel. Suddenly, Jude face came flashing on the TV. It was her old video for "Waste My Time" with Shay. As he was watching her, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't talked to Jude since she had left for California 2 months ago. Jamie suddenly thought,"If she hadn't called, did that mean that she forgot about him?" and "If he forgot about Jude, did that mean that he didn't really love her?" He finally came to a decision, he would call Jude and break it off with her. As he went to get his cell phone in his room, he tripped over one of his jackets that had fallen off the chair. Jamie bent down to pick it up, and when he did, a small box fell out of one of the pockets. He immediatly recognized it. He opened it, and all the memories came back. It was a ring, the exact ring he was going to propose to her with. But she had left for California that day, and he hadn't gotten to ask her before he left. He shut the box closed, and stuck it in the pocket of his jacket. He picked up his cell phone and dialed Judde's number. He needed to break it off with Jude as soon as possible.

Jude had been asleep when Jamie called. Tommy was in the kitchen making breakfast, when Jude's cell started ringing. Tommy followed the sound of the ringing to the couch where she had left it last night. He quickly picked it up and took it to Jude's room. Tommy snuck a peak at the caller ID and saw that it was Jamie. A part of him wanted to just turn it off, but he knew that the right thing to do was to give her the phone. As he walked into her room, he shook her gently enough to wake her, then gave her the phone. She said a groggy hello, and then shot up as she heard Jamie's voice. As she shooed Tommy away, tears started comming to her eyes. Tommy, sensing the need to be alone, left her room, but hid outside her door listening. She didn't say anything, but he could hear her crying. After about 3 minutes, he heard Jude throw her cell phone against the door. "Tommy, you can come in now," Jude said. Tommy quickly opened the door and saw Jude sitting on her bed with her heads in her hands. He went and sat with her on her bed. He held her in his arms as she sobbed uncontrolably into his shirt. She suddenly stopped and look at him. Tommy felt it was the right time to ask. "What happened?" Tommy asked. She looked him in the eye and simply said,"He broke up with me." As soon as she said that, she started crying again, and all he could do was hold her.

Jude had cryed herself to sleep, and Tommy was sitting on the couch with Hope watching TV. He wasn't paying attention becuase he was still trying to figure out why Jamie had broken up with Jude. He had reasons ranging from, he was cheating on her, to he was gay. Then it suddenly all came back. It was about Tommy. He had ruined them. He hadn't meant to, but he did. He had caused her so much pain again, this time it was indirectly, but pain nonetheless. He walked into Jude's room and just watched her sleep. For now, all he could do was comfort her and be her friend. And that was good enough for him. At least, for now.
