A/N: Hey guys. Thanks so much for all your positive reviews. I never thought this story would be anything but I thought 'Hey! I might as well try'. On a sadder note, I think there will only be a couple more chapters and then it will be done. But I promise, they will be worth your time. Love ya guys! Me
Jude was sitting in her room writing in her notebook and listening to music. She started to write down a few lyrics and then decided to sing them.
You know me
and I know you
For once in my life
I found someone true
Someone who will be there
when I fall
Someone to catch me
after all
And with that Sadie walked into her room, with quite an interesting look on her face. She sat down by Jude on her bed and Jude gave her sister a puzzled look. She wondered why Sadie was smiling.
"What are you so happy about?" Jude said as she closed her notebook and sat up to face her glowing sister.
"Oh, nothing…just…" she trailed off.
"What?" Jude was getting more and more angry. She was sick of staring at her sister's pearly white teeth.
"You, uh, might want to look at what's downstairs." and with that Jude raced down the stairs as fast as she could and saw a bouquet of white roses in a vase on the table with a card.
Oh my god. He is sooooooo sweet. I cant believe he sent me flowers. They are so beautiful. Wait…why was Sadie smiling? She likes Tommy.
She was wondering why her sister was smiling as she walked towards the card. She picked it up and it simply said "To Jude" on the front. Her hands were shaking as she opened it. This is what it read…
Dear Jude,
I know we have had some tough times. I don't even deserve forgiveness for what I put you through. But I am going to ask for it anyway. Meet me tonight. I am going to have a car come pick you up at 7:30. Please just give it a chance. I hope you will come. Even if it is to slap me in the face. I'll be waiting for you. If you don't come, I understand.
Always,
Shay
What the hell was he thinking? Why did he even bother to send me flowers? Ugh, I'm not going to go… but wait… maybe I should. Just to hear what he has to say. But Tommy and I were supposed to go out tonight. What am I going to do? I have to meet with Shay, and then I will go see Tommy. He will make me feel better after all that yelling. Yeah that's what I will do.
She was smiling because she knew that she was gonna let Shay know exactly what he was missing. But wait…she still had to call Tommy and tell him. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost 6:30 and she was supposed to call Tommy.
"Oh, what am I going to tell him?" she said to herself as Sadie walked into the door.
"Tell who, Jude?" her sister said, acting innocent. "Tell Tommy you're back with Shay?" Sadie said with a smirk on her face.
"Shay and I are not together. What are you thinking?" Jude said as she walked right by Sadie and went up to her room to call Tommy.
It seemed like forever until Tommy picked up the phone.
"Yeah?" he said. She loved hearing his voice.
"Hey, its me." she said nervousness was thick in her voice.
"Oh, hey. I have been waiting for your call. I missed you all day. So when do you want me to pick you up?" he said she could tell he was smiling by the sound of his voice.
"Oh, yeah. Uh, about that. Tommy, I, uh, have something I need to take care of first. Is that okay?" she was afraid what he was going to say next.
"Oh, that's fine. What is it you had to take care of?" he said curious.
There it was. The question she just didn't want to answer.
"Ummm… Shay. He sent me a note saying he wanted to talk. Sort of a closure thing, you know?" she hated telling him but she didn't want to lie.
"Oh…o-okay. I, uh, guess you will call me when your done getting swept off your feet by Mr. Smooth. That is if you even remember my number." he was angry now. Jude could tell.
"Tommy…"
"No, I understand. I mean, after all, it's just closure, right." he wasn't so sure he was believing what he was saying. He was so scared he was going to lose her, and especially to that asshole. It killed him, but what could he do?
"Yeah… and I promise I will call you right after I get back. And then we can hang out, you know?" she sounded like she was going to cry.
"Uh, I don't know, Jude. I'm a little tired. Give me a call tomorrow and we can hang out then, okay?" he didn't want to do this, but what else was he supposed to say?
"Oh…." there was a long pause before Jude spoke again. "O-okay. I'll just call you tomorrow. I love you."
She didn't get out those last three words before Tommy had already hung up. She was brokenhearted. This time she had let him slip through her fingers… how could she do that to someone she loved?
Now I know this probably isn't anybody's favorite chapter, but trust me, this has to happen for it to end the way I wanted. I wont disappoint you. Please R&R
