Authors Note: I bet everyone's thinkin finally she updated lol. Things have been so crazy lately with play practice and everything. Hopefully I'll be able to update more often. R/R!

Tommy looked her, the shock on his face visible. Her face was flushed with rage. "Jude, I'm sorry."

"You don't get it Tommy! You feel guilty because Jamie kidnapped me, but I feel guilty because a girl was killed because of me!" Tears flowed down her pale cheeks as she yelled at Tommy.

"Jude, I didn't mean anything like that."

"I saw a girl killed out of jealous rage by my husband!"

"I wish I could make everything go away."

"But you can't Tommy! You can't just run over to me and expect everything to magically go away! It doesn't work that way. Jamie will never go away!"

Tommy stood there and watched as Jude yelled at him. It hurt him to hear her scream at him, but somehow he knew he wasn't going to be able to stop her.

"You will never understand what happened at that warehouse, or what happened in Cuba! You can't! You don't know what he did to me!"

Tommy's deep blue eyes bore into her. She felt like she was standing trial, and Tommy was the judge and the jurty.

"You used to be able to make things go away Tommy! But you don't have that power anymore."

"Jude-"

"Not now!" She let out a defeated scream as she stormed into her bedroom, slamming the door behind her. She flung herself onto her bed and cried into her pillow. Her mind kept flashing back to the day she broke up with Tommy, almost three years ago.

"I have to go Tommy."

"Did Darius think of another scheme to take you away from me?" he pouted.

"No, that's not it."

"What are you talking about?"

"This, I can't do this anymore."

"Can't do what?"

"Us! I can't do this anymore!"

"Where did this come from? Did Portia say something to you?"

"No! Portia didn't say anything Tommy. This is my decision."

"So you're leaving?"

She nodded slowly and hugged him before leaving the house. "Goodbye Tommy."

Tommy stood outside the door, listening to Jude's sobs. He thought to himself, how do I always end up screwing things up. He slowly picked up the phone and called Georgia.

"G Major, this is Georgia Bevins speaking."

"G, its Tommy. I uh won't be coming in today."

"I didn't expect you to. How's Jude?"

"Not so good."

"How are you?"

"I'm fine."

"Tommy, you've missed work four times in your life. Once you were sick, and one was when Jude left you, and the other two were when Jude was kidnapped. I highly doubt everythings peachy in your life."

"We got into a fight."

"About what?"

"Just stuff. Nothing that important, but I have to go now."

"Tommy wai-" she said before she heard the click of the phone.

Jude walked into the bathroom and splashed ice cold water on her red splotchy face. She attempted to collect herself and walked into the kitchen. Tommy was sitting at the table, couched over a blank piece of paper.

"Hey, I'm uh, sorry about that," she said quietly.

"Don't be, it was my fault."
"Do me a favor. Let's not argue about whose fault it was," she gave him a slight smile.

"Works for me."

"Not to be nosy, but why were you staring at a blank sheet of paper?"

"I was just thinking."

"Okay. Anyways do you think you could take me somewhere today?"

"Yeah sure. I just called Georgia and told her I wouldn't be in today, so my day is open. Where do you want to go?"

"An attorney."

Tommy drove Jude downtown to the attorney. Divorce papers were already written up so all she had to do was sign and wait.

By the time they got back home, it was early evening and Jude was wiped from the day's activities.

"Any special requests?" Tommy called from the kitchen. When he didn't recieve an answer he walked into the living room and saw Jude, sound asleep on the couch. He smiled and sauntered back into the kitchen to make himself something to eat.

"You're mine Jude Harrison."

Jude shot up, her eyes wide open. Her line of vision, darting around the room. "Tommy."

He was reading the paper when he heard her panicked voice. "Yeah," he said, walking into the living room. He saw her face, etched with fear. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm fine. Just another dream."

"Oh, what was it about?"

"I, I'm not sure."

"Do you want something to eat?"

"I'm not really hungry, but thanks for asking."

"I'm really proud of you Jude."

"For what?"

"For dealing with everything that happened and making the decision to make the divorce papers, without blinking an eye."

"Don't be proud of me for that. You can be proud of me for my music or anything else, just not for that."

"Why not?"

"Because it wasn't a decision Tommy. It was something I have to do wether I like it or not."

"But-"

"Tommy don't okay? I don't feel brave or courageous or anything like that, so don't tell me I am."

"Okay, I'm sorry."

Jude shook her head. "Don't be. It's just that, I don't even know how to explain it."

"It's fine. I don't expect you to explain everything to me."

"Anyways, enough talking about this. Anything happen at G Major?" she asked, propping herself up.

"To be honest, I'm not really sure. I went to work but, I never really got anything accomplished."

"You mean Georgia and Draius never said anything?"

"Well if they did, I didn't comprehend anything."

Jude smiled. "That heartbroken about me being gone?"

Tommy's gaze turned solemn. "Jude, don't even joke about that."

"I wasn't really joking."

"If you must know, yes I was hearbroken. When I got that phone call and they told me they found your body, I thought I was going to die."

Jude stared at his sorrow filled eyes. "You really do care about me."

"Of course I do Jude. What did you think? I've never stopped love you, never."

"I think I um, I'm going to go to bed," she said, sstanding up and walking into the hallway.

"Why are you so scared of this?" Tommy said, standing up.

"I'm not scared of anything," she said, still turned away from Tommy.

"Yes you are! You're scared you'll fall in love with me again!"

"I can't fall in love with you again!"

"Why not?"

"Because I'm already in love with you!" she cried as she turned around to face him. "My feelings for you never when away and Jamie knew it. I tried so hard to make everything I love about you, go away, but I couldn't. The harder I tried, the more I thought about you. I saw you at work, in my dreams, everywhere. And the worst part was that Jamie knew it. When we went on our honeymoon, I was so depressed, and angry, and sad, that I went into the bathroom with my cell phone. I was going to cal lyou and tell you I had made a huge mistake, but Jamie knocked on the door, and my courage drifted away. I avoided you every change I could because I knew it wasn't right to be married to one man and in love with another, and I knew I couldn't turst myself with you, especially not alone. Don't tell me I'm scared of this! This is the one thing I've wanted for as long as I can remember. You and me, that's it."

Her face was stony, but underneath a layer of pain dwelt. He moved closer and wrapped his arms around her, but she pushed him away.

"But as much as I want you and me, we can't, not now."

"And why not?"
