Chapter 21: Coming Home
Jude came into Tommy's house and said, "Tom, I'm here."
Tommy poked his head around the corner and entered. "What's with you, Jude?"
"Nothing," she replied.
"You and Jamie are cool now or something?"
"Jamie and I are okay now, yes."
"Then what's going to happen?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you going back home?"
She paused. "I don't know, Tommy."
He paused too, thinking over what he was going to say. "Go home, Jude."
"What?"
"Go home. That's where you belong with Jamie."
"Tommy…"
"Pack and come get me when you want a ride home." He turned back around and shut himself in his room.
The ride to the Harrison household was quiet. Jude didn't understand why after everything they'd gone through he was letting her go so easily. She half-wished that he would just turn around and they would go back to his place. But he didn't.
He pulled into the driveway and killed the engine. "Here we are…"
"Yeah… I don't have to come home."
"Just go, Jude."
She looked at him with sad eyes before getting out of the car and walking up to the front door. She knocked and once Victoria answered, she said, "I can come home now." She came into the house and closed the door.
Tommy sat in the driveway, just staring at the door. He wanted it to open so badly, for her to come out and come back with him.
The door did open but it wasn't who he wanted it be.
Sadie tapped his window and he rolled it down. "Hey, you know, if you don't leave soon, people might think you're a stalker," Sadie joked.
"Yeah well…"
"I don't get you, Tommy. You really like Jude but you tell her to go home, thus breaking up with her. Why?"
"I'm not going to compete with Jamie. He's back in Jude's life and I'm not going to compete with him."
"Trust me; Jamie has nothing on you when it comes to Jude. You beat him by a mile." She walked back into the house.
He rolled up his window and drove off. He turned on the radio, trying not to focus on Jude.
I walk a lonely road
The only one
that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home
to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the
only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I
walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks
beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's
beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til
then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me
somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I
walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and
everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still
alive and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I
walk alone
I walk a...
My shadow's the only one that walks
beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's
beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til
then I walk alone
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah,
Ah-ah
I walk alone
I walk a...
I walk this empty
street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city
sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...
My shadow's the
only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing
that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
me
'Til then I walk alone...
He stopped his car at his house and got out. Jude was gone and he was alone, again.
AN: Poor Tommy… Sorry it took so long to update but since my keyboard's screwed up I can only use my mom's laptop and I can only use it every once in a while. Please R&R!
