When Jude entered her house after a long time in the rehearsal studio Sadie was sitting on the stairs crying.
"Sadie," said Jude with concern. "What's wrong?"
Sadie waited to answer. "Its Tommy. I just miss him. I know he cheated on me, but I love him." She paused and said, "I bet he never even loved me." When Sadie said that Jude sad by her on the stairs, put an arm over her shoulder, and let Sadie rest her head on her.
"I know Sadie. Tommy is Tommy, but maybe you could forgive him?" Jude was gonna tell Sadie that Tommy had never cheated on her but she couldn't get the words out. Earlier that day Tommy asked Jude to talk to Sadie for him but she didn't want her to forgive him. She knew that if she did she would never have Tommy for herself.
"No I can't," said Sadie getting up and wiping off her tears. "And if I do, it will take A LONG time to forgive him." They both sat there in silence for a few minutes. "Hey," said Jude. "Lets get some ice cream. I haven't eaten sinceā¦."
Jude sat and thought. She really couldn't remember. She knew that it was at least 12 hours ago because it was ten and she couldn't remember if she had had breakfast that morning or just left straight for the studio.
"Okay," said Sadie with a laugh. They walked with their arms over each others shoulder to the kitchen.
"Tommy," screamed Jude banging on Tommy's apartment door. She hadn't been there but knew where it was because when they first met he gave his address to her. "Tommy, open the door."
Tommy opened the door. His hair was messed up, and he looked horrible. Jude hadn't ever seen him like this before. For a second she couldn't even recognize him. "Jude. Its two in the morning," he said pissed off. "What is it?"
"Tommy, I love you." She blurted "I have always loved you."
"Jude-"
"I just had to get it out." She turned around but Tommy grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. He pulled her head towards him and kissed her madly, just like the kiss on her 16th birthday longer.
"I love you too." he said holding her tight in his arms. "I love you too," he kept on repeating. "I love you too."
