The morning of Tommy's funeral, Jude was rummaging through her closet when Sadie entered the room in black palazzo pants with a black tank top and black shrug.
"Jude, we have to go in less than an hour and you're not even dressed yet."
"I don't have anything to wear."
"I know that's not true."
"I don't want to go okay!" Jude yelled. "I want to fall asleep and never wake up!"
Sadie walked to the closet, grabbed a short black dress with a satin jack and threw them at Jude. "Get dressed and meet us in the living room," Sadie ordered as she left the room.
Jude reluctantly dressed in the clothes Sadie had thrown at her. She pulled her hair into a low ponytail and omitted all make-up except mascara. She looked at her pale face in the mirror and turned away when she saw a faint figure beside her, who looked unmistakenly like Tommy. She flung around and saw nothing. There was no Tommy. Tommy was dead, gone, a figment of her imagination now.
"Jude, it's time to go," Kwest said.
They drove to the church in a G Major limo, the same one Tommy and Jude had taken to the airport when they went to Hawaii. Jude was quiet the entire drive. Her mind was closed to everything and she didn't want to go to the funeral, she didn't want to see Tommy's body.
They arrived at the church and were instantly bombarded by paparrazi flashbulbs. Kwest grabbed Jude and Sadie and made their way through the crowd. Once they were inside the church Jude was hugged by almost everyone.
She wouldn't let the tears fall, not when so many people were watching her.
"Hi," a voice came behind her.
She turned around. "Hi Turner."
He gave her a friendly hug and said, "I'm really sorry Jude."
"Thanks. I"m kind of surprised to see you here."
"I uh, I came with Leila. She's over talking to some people."
"Oh."
"I should probably go find her. I'll talk to you later," he said as he walked away.
"Turner, thanks for coming," she called.
"Anytime."
Sadie, Kwest, and Jude were seated behind Tommy's family, with the other G Major employees. She played with the ring through the entire service as the priest went on and on about Tommy's life, when he hadn't even known him.
After the service, Jude cautiously walked towards the coffin. Slow tears trickled down her face as she looked at the pale, thin body, that used to be Tommy. She felt around in her pocket and pulled out a silver engagement band and slipped it on his wedding finger.
"I'll never forget. I love you Tommy Quincy," she whispered as she walked away and was driven to the cemetary.
Jude wasn't paying attention to what was going on at the cemetary. She felt cold and hollow, like nothing mattered anymore. Even when Jessica and Andrew and came up and hugged her, she didn't even care, she couldn't anymore.
After the priest was done speaking and people started clearing out, she felt Kwest's light grip on her arm, leading her back to the limo, which would take them back to the apartment. She snapped out of her sense of shock and looked at Kwest.
"Let go," she said firmly.
"What?" Kwest asked.
"I can't leave him."
"Jude, we have to go."
"No!"
