View from Heaven

Part 2

Lucy quickly closed the door to her father's office and ran through the lobby. She ran straight to the door of studio A, hastily throwing it open and running inside, and right up to Kwest and Liam, an intern who was about Lucy's age. The sound engineer backed away from her in shock at this sudden intrusion. "Hold up, Luc. Who died?" Joked Liam. Lucy shot him a deadly glare and he quickly bit his tongue. Stupid! How could you be so stupid? Ok, just play it cool. He gave her a timid smile. "Oh. Sorry, I didn't mean that. What's up?" Lucy grinned.

"My dad's gonna record the song!" Kwest's eyes widened in horror and he stood up abruptly, putting his hands on Lucy's shoulder.

"Lucy, you didn't." She looked at him incredulously.

"What? I just got him to record. I thought that would be a good thing." Kwest sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"I know you did, but…that song brings up a lot of repressed feelings. And your mother is already a touchy subject. Are you sure he can handle it?" Lucy nodded, not ready to lose confidence in her father.

"Of course he can handle it! He can handle anything! Just watch him. He'll be ok." Kwest nodded understandingly. I hope. No! He CAN do it! I can't give up on him. She grinned confidently and walked over to the sound booth. "Ok, let's get ready to record. Does the song already have music, or do we have to write it?" Kwest thought for a moment before answering her question.

"No, I think he left it at the lyrics. I guess we have a full day ahead of us." She nodded.

"Ok. I'll go get my dad and tell him we're starting. We should get to work as soon as possible." She didn't wait for a response before she charged out of the studio and back over to Tommy's office. She knocked 3 times before letting herself in and looking over at Tommy. "We're ready to record," She said quickly before stepping out and rushing back into studio A. The next few hours were spent coming up with music to fit the song they were trying to record. Finally, Lucy put her pen and guitar down, looking satisfied. "There. It's finally done. I think we can actually record it now." Kwest nodded in confirmation.

"Yeah. It's some of your best work. Both of you," He said to Tommy and Lucy. Tommy nodded and stood up, walking into the booth. Lucy followed him.

"You ready?" He asked while handing her a set of headphones. She took them and slipped them on.

"Yep. What about you?" Tommy sighed and sat down on one of the benches.

"As I'll ever be." Lucy nodded sullenly and sat down on the other chair as Tommy gave Kwest the signal. They waited for the music to start and then slowly started to sing.

I'm just so tired
wont you sing me to sleep
and fly through my dreams
so I can hitch a ride with you tonight
and get away from this place
have a new name and face
I just aint the same without you in my life
late night drives, all alone in my car
I can't help but start
singing lines from all our favorite songs
and melodies in the air
singin life just aint fair
sometimes I still just can't believe you're gone
and im sure the view from heaven
beats the hell out of mine here
and if we all believe in heaven,
maybe we'll make it through one more year
down here

feel your fire,
when its cold in my heart
and things sorta start
remindin' me of my last night with you
I only need one more day
just one more chance to say
I wish that I had gone up with you too
and I'm sure the view from heaven
beats the hell out of mine here
and if we all believe in heaven
maybe we'll make it through one more year
down here

you wont be comin' back
and I didn't get to say goodbye (goodbye)
I really wish I got to say goodbye
and im sure the view from heaven
beats the hell out of mine here
and if we all believe in heaven
maybe we'll make it through one more year
I hope that all is well in heaven
cause it's all shot to hell down here(we need you)
I hope that I find you in heaven
cause I'm so...
lost without you down here
you wont be coming back
and I didn't get to say goodbye (goodbye)
I really wish I got to say gooooodbye

The last note ended slowly and Tommy ran out of the booth and out of the studio. Silent tears slipping down his face, he was determined not to let Lucy see them. He ran into an empty studio and locked the door. He sat on one of the chairs and buried his face in his hands, weeping openly. He cast his glance up to the ceiling. "Why, Jude? Why did you leave me like that? Please, come back to me." The tears fell harder and faster as he recalled the times they had shared. Their wedding day; he had never seen her so happy. In her beautiful long white dress, walking down the aisle towards him. The kiss that seemed to last an eternity. Looking back, he would've given anything to be transported back to that day. To spend one more night with her. He put a hand on his forehead as his mind pulled him back to another night. Jude's funeral.

Her friends and family were all there to pay their respects and offer comforting words, but they all went right past Tommy. The eulogy, it was all just meaningless words. The only thing he could think about was how he could've abandoned her. Right when she needed him. He desperately wanted to be there with her then. That thought crossed Tommy's mind once again as he looked to the door of the studio and took a deep breath. He had an idea. He composed himself and walked quietly to the door. He opened it and walked out of the studio. He went into the lobby to see Lucy, Kwest and Liam all frantically searching for him. He went to them and stood in the middle of the lobby, in plain view. They realized this and all ran over to him, Lucy throwing her arms around him. "Where did you go?" Tommy sighed.

"Just to…another part of the studio. Come on. We should get home." She nodded and they made their way out of the building and into the parking lot, getting into Tommy's car. Once he had the engine on, he turned to Lucy. "Great job today, Luc. You did some really good work." She smiled.

"Thanks." He smiled back.

"Listen, you think you could stay at Jamie's house tomorrow night? I sorta have some business to take care of." Lucy nodded.

"Sure. I can hang out with Cleo and Liam." He nodded.

"Ok." And with that, he pulled out of the parking lot and sped off. The next day, Lucy sat at doorstep, backpack over her shoulder, waiting to be picked up. She looked up as she heard wheels coming up and music blasting from a stereo. She smiled as she saw Liam get out of his car and walk up to her.

"Come on," He said. "Let's go." She stood up and glanced once more at Tommy, who was standing behind her.

"Bye, dad," She said quickly before she ran down the steps and jumped into Liam's car. They tore out of the driveway and Tommy turned to go back into his house.

"Goodbye," He said after her. He walked back into the kitchen and sat down, picking up a framed picture of him and Jude. They were in the studio, and he had one arm wrapped around her. One of her arms was around him, and the other was resting on her 5 month pregnant belly. Tears began to flow down Tommy's face and crash onto the ground and he closed his eyes. Getting up, he put the picture down and blew a kiss at Jude's image. He opened one of the drawers and selected a sharp knife. He carried it over to the kitchen counter and put a hand on the picture. "Jude, honey, I'm coming for you." With that, he executed a swift slice across both of his wrists. Clamping his eyes shut in pain, he fell limply to the floor, blood pouring from his body. When he realized what he had done, it was too late. Everything went black and his body went limp. It was too late for anyone to save him. The next morning, the same car pulled up and a young girl jumped out, fiddling with the keys on her key chain. She finally found the right one; she tried it on the lock only to see that the door was open. She found it strange, but nevertheless opened the door and walked in.

When her eyes caught sight of the lifeless body lying on the floor, the bag she was holding fell to the ground and she rushed over to it. Terror overcoming her, she sucked in a breath of air and let out a horrified scream. The scream echoed through the empty neighborhood, startling all who heard it…..

A/N: Like I said, only one part left. I'll try to post the last part ASAP, but only if you R&R!
