"I'm going to go change," Jude said as she kissed him on the cheek and walked back towards her room. She went straight to her dresser and opened the bottom right drawer. Bottles upon bottles of pilles were stashed underneath her notebooks she used for writing lyrics. She carefully emptied them all into a box and walked into the bathroom. She poured the contents of the box into the toilet and flushed them down.

"I'm really proud of you Jude," Tommy said.

Jude jumped at the sound of his voice and turned around to see him leaning against the doorway. "Tommy you scared the crap out of me!"

"I'm sorry but you were gone awhile and I was worried."

"It's okay," Jude smiled.

"What made you throw them away?"

"You," Jude said quietly. "I don't need them anymore. I'm happy."

Tommy walked over and gently drew her into his arms. It felt so good to know that she was happy now. His Jude was slowly reappearing.

Jude smiled as Tommy wrapped his arms around her. "I'm done with the pills, and the cutting, and everything else I was doing. I'm done with it all."

Tommy tightened his grip on her. "I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that Jude." He gently picked her up off the ground and spun her around.

"Hey!" Jude laughed and playfully hit him.

Tommy put her back on the ground and smiled at her. "Didn't know the girl is scared of heights."

"Sure," Jude laughed. "Listen I am going to go change clothes now," her voice softened for a moment, "then we need to talk."

Tommy silently nodded and walked to his room to change also.

Jude slipped on a pair of gray sweatpants and a baggy white t-shirt she had stole from Tommy's laundry earlier in the week. She then walked out to the living room where she saw Tommy anxiously sitting on the couch, playing with a rubix cube.

"Hey," she said quietly as she sat down beside him.

Tommy put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to him. "Look Jude, I don't know about...I mean I don't think. I don't want to talk about this."

"Tommy," Jude pleaded.

"I don't think I can."

"I didn't think I could kick the pills either and look what I just did."

"Okay I get the point Jude," he sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "It happened six years ago..."
