A/N: OK peeps, quick update, and do I mean quick! This chapter is relatively short, but I promise the next couple are longer. I also want to let you all know, I'm currently working on a new fic as well, it's called Cure My Tragedy, so be on the lookout for that one. I'm thinking about uploading it when I have this fic finished. :D You all haven't heard the lat from me yet. Also as another note…there's only 3 more chapters to go! Isn't it depressing? It's almost over! I hope you all enjoy this!

Chapter 26

What felt like an eternity later, Jude was lying in his arms, her eyes half closed in sleep, her head resting on his chest. Tommy's arms were wrapped around her and his hands were playing with the end of her hair.

"I love you, Jude." Tommy whispered, and kissed the top of her head. Jude looked up at him, and smiled.

"You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that." She said, and he smiled at her.

"I think I have an idea…" He said, and bent his head down and captured her mouth in his. They broke apart and Jude lay her head back down and closed her eyes, falling into blissful sleep, feeling, for the first time in awhile, like herself.

The Next Morning

The first thing she was aware of when she awoke was she was naked. She panicked slightly and then memories from the night before came flooding into her mind. Jude smiled, and reached an arm out and found the bed empty. She opened her eyes and blinked the sleep away.

Tommy?" She called and received no answer. The apartment was dark and there were no sounds of movement. Jude sat up, making sure the blanket covered herself and scanned the room. She saw no sign of Tommy and noticed her previously scattered clothes were now folded on the dresser. Jude frowned and slipped out of the bed and grabbed a sweatshirt out of Tommy's closet. She pulled it over her head and it covered her to just above her knees. She wrapped her arms around her waist and exited the bedroom and into the hall.

Tommy?" She called again, feeling nervous and afraid. Jude came into the living room and stopped cold. The suitcases were gone. Jude felt a feeling of dread wash over her and her right hand flew up to cover her mouth.

"No," She whispered, feeling tears spring her eyes.

"Tommy!" She yelled, her voice quivering. She stumbled into the kitchen where she found a note on the table. She reached out with trembling fingers and scanned it quickly.

Jude

I have an early flight out of Toronto and I didn't want to wake you. I promise I'll call you as soon as I can.

I love you,
Tommy

Jude's hand closed into a fist around the note and she fell to the ground, her legs unable to hold her weight anymore. A sob escaped her throat and tears fell down her face in rivers. She cried like she never cried before and she didn't know if she'd be ok ever again.
