Jude walked into G major for the first time in 4 months, for some reason it looked the same, but it felt so different. Before when she would walk in, she'd have that instant feeling of not wanting to be there because she'd rather be sleeping, but then she'd see Tommy and he'd tell her it was time to get to work and she'd forget everything but him, and her and their music. Now, everywhere she looked she just felt sad. It wasn't a part of her heart anymore she felt no joy. In that moment she knew she could give this up and be ok, if that was what she had to do, she could do it. Well she hadn't thought she'd survive being away from Tommy for 4 months while she was on tour, and he was supposed to be in California, but she'd survived almost 5 months, she was surviving now. She was an adult Jude could hardly believe it. She thought back to when she was 16 and couldn't wait to be 18 thinking that when she was finally legal her and Tommy could be together and they wouldn't have anything to worry about, she smiled. Funny how life works out.

Darius: And if it isn't the lady of the hour, Miss Jude Harrison, Darius is saying from the stage

Jude was having a flash back of her album release party the night her and Tommy had gotten together.

Darius: I'd like to thank all of you for coming here this evening to help celebrate and congratulate Jude Harrison and all of G major in the successful completion of Jude's second album, I have high hopes for her, and I don't think she will disappoint, so without further adieu lets hear it for Jude Harrison and her producer Tom Quincy.

The room is filled with the thundering sound of hundreds of people clapping and cheering for Tommy and Jude.

They both stand and make their way to the stage where Darius is still standing. Jude walks up first and takes the mic.

Jude: Wow, You all have no idea how much of my heart, soul, and spirit has went into this second album, not to mention Tommy's. I could not have done any of this without my rock, my inspiration, Tommy.

Tommy: Jude's music is inside of her, and all she needed from me was a little bit of nudging in the right direction, she could have done it without me, but I'm happy she didn't have to.

Tommy and Jude look into each other's eyes across the room as the whole room erupts in applause

end of flashback

Jude is up on stage now, she is wearing a black dress very loose in the front, and makes her belly almost un noticeable, the fact that she had her guitar in front of her helped a lot too. She decided that she would sing her song My Happy Ending. (My happy ending by Avril Lavigne)

So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh oh
Oh Oh, Ohhh
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?

Don't leave me hangin'
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

chorus
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

Oh Oh,so much for my happy ending Oh Oh
Oh Oh,

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you Im difficult
but so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the sht that you do, (All the sht that you do)

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

chorus
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

He was everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending.

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending.

Oh Oh,so much for my happy ending Oh Oh
oh oh,so much for my happy ending oh oh
Oh Oh,Oh Oh,Ohhhhh

Jude walks off the stage as every one applauds her song and performance. Jude thought to herself, what all these people don't know is that they won't hear another song from me, and that by this time tomorrow I'm going to be in a whole other place.

The next morning Jude was sleeping when she heard an annoying noise and opened her eyes and realized that her phone was ringing. Jude reached over and answered the phone while glancing at her alarm clock, which was still set for 7:30am. The clock now read 5:46am. Jude growled into the phone.

Jude: Hello?

…….

Jude: Hello? If this is some sicko who likes to breath deep over the phone, call up someone else freak.

Jude was about to hang up the phone when a thought shot into her head like a bullet.

Jude: Tommy?

There was a small noise at the other end of the phone, Jude thought someone would talk but all she ended up hearing was the dial tone. She curled up in bed and let herself cry for the first time in a while and actually felt better for it.

JudeT: Maybe the song is right, sometimes you just gotta cry. She turned over and tried to get back to sleep but knew she would lie awake for the next few hours.

By 8am Jude was up, dressed, and ready to go into G Major for her meeting with Darius. Sadie was at her college finishing her paper work with the dean and getting everything in order for her transfer to UCLA in the spring semester, she had already missed the deadline for the fall and would help Jude get everything ready for the baby before returning to school in January. It was September 29th and Jude was going to be telling Darius that she was leaving the music industry, for good.

Jude walked into G Major with a heavy heart. This was her home for the past 3 years and she was about to leave it forever. This was a different G Major then she had seen last night, this was the one that she had had her heart broken in, but she had also made sweet powerful music with the man she loved. She started to second guess herself, am I really going to be able to leave this place behind for good?

JudeT: You have to

With that Jude walked into Darius's office and sat down in one of the chairs in front of his desk. Darius was sitting at his desk with a look of contentment thinking that she was coming in to sign her new contract that would keep her chained to Darius for the next 3 years, but what was about to happen, he certainly didn't expect.

Darius: Well Jude I had my lawyer draw everything up yesterday and if you want to look over everything for a few moments, I can leave you alone.

Jude: I'm not signing Darius.

Darius: Laughs, ok Jude I tell you what, your right. You deserve more than what I'm paying you, I'll give you a 100,000$ increase in salary a year, you've made me a lot of money, you deserve it.

Jude: Darius I don't think you are understanding, I'm not signing any contract. I'm not coming back to work for you.

Darius continued to stare at Jude as though she were speaking in tongue.

Darius: What do you mean your not coming back to work for me? Are you joining another record company?

Jude: No, I've decided that the music biz is not for me, and I'm moving away from here with my sister.

Darius looked completely baffled, and as though he could be knocked over with a feather at any moment.

Jude: Are you ok, you're not looking so hot.

Darius: No Jude, I'm not ok, not when my best client tells me that she's leaving and not coming back to work for me, because "The music biz is not for her". So to answer your question, NO I'm NOT OK!

Darius screamed the last bit at her but Jude never faltered. She was sticking to her guns on this issue and that was the end of it.

Jude: I'm sorry Darius, I knew that you would not be happy about this decision which is why I've waited until now to tell you but I'm not going to change my mind and there is no amount of money that could persuade me. I'm leaving today, and I will not be coming back, I'm sorry.

With that Jude walked from Darius's office and G Major and the life she had lived for the last 3 years.

Tommy was sitting in the living room of Kim's house watching the news and trying his hardest not to think of Jude. He thought back to this morning when he had made the mistake of calling her.

Flashback

Tommy had been sleeping pretty soundly when he had a dream that had shaken him so bad, he woke up soaking wet in a cold sweat. He glanced over at the alarm clock sitting on his nightstand 5:46am he had to call her, just to hear her voice.

Tommy picked up the phone and dialed the number, his fingers felt odd dialing a number that was still remembered in the back of his mind, but had not been used in so long. At first she didn't answer and Tommy's heart began beating faster,

TommyT: Oh god what if his dream had come true, what would he do?

Jude picked up on the 6th ring, he had never heard such a sweet sound as her irritated voice coming though over the line.

Jude: Hello?

Tommy was about to say something when he thought to himself, what the hell am I going to say to her? I'm sorry I walked out on you? Sorry to call so early but I thought you were dead? He hesitated and decided to hang up, but before he could he heard her angry voice coming through the phone once more.

Jude: If this is some sicko who likes to breath deep over the phone, call up someone else freak.

Tommy hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief, she was ok, that was all that mattered.

The dream that had shaken him awake from a sound sleep had been the most terrifying moments of his life.

Tommy's dream: Tommy and Jude had been sitting on the beach in California, watching a seagull swoop down into the ocean and pick up a fish, Tommy had his arms wrapped around Jude and his hands on her belly which was full and looked about ready to burst, they were smiling and watching a little girl of about 4 running up and down from where they were sitting in the sand back to the ocean where the water would lap at her ankles making her squeal in glee. Tommy looked down at a close to 9 months pregnant Jude and said "Wow, I thought the happiest day of my life was when I woke up next to you for the first time, but now I realize that I was wrong, this is the happiest day of my life Jude, watching you and our little girl here at the beach, just enjoying each other". Jude looked up at Tommy and smiled, but when she had opened her mouth to speak, no sound came out. She had a look of utter confusion on her face like something hurt, but she didn't know what, or why. Tommy had a look of concern on his face and said "Jude, honey what's wrong" Jude tried to speak again but nothing came out, the scene around him changed and the beach, the ocean, and the little girl disappeared Tommy glanced back down at Jude and saw pain and confusion in her beautiful blue eyes, "What's wrong Jude, what's going on"? Jude started to choke, like there was someone's hands around her throat, she kept choking and gasping for air and Tommy frantically tried to help her to breath, but she still choked and gasped until she finally let out one last gasp for air, her clear blue eyes clouded over with a milky haze and started to turn black, Tommy started screaming for her to come back, to breath, but nothing worked, Jude was gone, her body hung lifelessly in his hands as he cried and cried.

That was when Tommy had opened his eyes and awaked in a cold sweat.

End of flashback

Tommy knew that he shouldn't have called her it was a mistake for her, and a mistake for himself. He just loved her so much, and had to know that his dream was his imagination working over time. He didn't know what he'd do if he lost her, sure they weren't together now, and may never be together again but as long as she was ok, his world was still whole ok that was a lie maybe not whole but the closest thing to whole that it could be without her in it. Kim, Christopher, and him would be going down to the hospital later today to have a blood test done to determine if he was in fact Christopher's biological father they should have the results in 4-8 weeks. He closed his eyes and for the first time since he was 12 prayed and asked god to please make the test negative, he knew that if it was he had a chance to ask for her forgiveness and be with her, but he knew that if it was positive his life would practically be over.
