A/N: So? How was the dream? Well, Jude is now 20, and turning 21 in the next couple of chapters. On with the story!
Begin Chapter 7
I was confused… I hadn't seen Tommy for about… 4 years, going on 5 years now. He left on my seventeenth birthday, and didn't look back. I knew where he was, but it was his decision if he ever wants to see me. I hadn't even thought about him for at least a couple of months now. I had just gotten back from my world-wide tour. It was really cool, almost better than the tour in the States. But that tour was a long time ago… Tommy went with me on that tour. But we'll not re-open old wounds.
I would say my favorite place was Rome, Italy. It was really cool. I mean they had all these historical monuments and statues. And Sadie went with me… She wanted to go shopping… She said this was the last stop on her European tour a while ago. But why she wanted to go shopping in Italy, when she works in Paris? I have no clue. I could never figure out the mind of Sadie Harrison. If someone could, I say it was a bloody miracle. But anyhoo, why would I dream about him, when I don't want to? I mean, I know this will sound pathetic, but I haven't been together with anyone else, because I knew Tommy would be coming back. I knew in my heart, that he would. No matter it'd be weeks, months, years, or decades. I had a feeling he would be back. And I knew I would've waited forever for him. But that was besides the point… So I got dressed, and grabbed my car keys, and opened the front door to see a package on the front step. It was wrapped in crimson paper, with a black card on it. Written in silver in the card said, Guess who? I thought it was Jaime, but the handwriting was different. One I hadn't seen in 5 years...
Oh shit…
Then hands wrapped around my eyes, and a voice whispered in my ear, "Guess who?" A voice that I hadn't heard in almost five years.
"Tommy?" I breathed out his name.
"And here I thought you had forgotten about me." He smirked.
"Why are you here? You left me for a better life. Or so you said. Why are you back now?" I was fuming.
"Jude… It took me a long time to finally realize what I wanted, what I needed, and now I know it's you. I know you told me you wouldn't wait forever, but can you wait for just another 5 minutes?" I wasn't sure if I should or not, I mean what if he had changed? What if I had changed? What if I wasn't sure about my feelings for him anymore? Well that last question was easy, of course I still loved him. I had always loved him, and I always would… But does that mean I can trust him?
"Come on Jude, we have to get somewhere."
I let my emotions cloud my better judgment, and I got in the car. I had nothing to lose, and I couldn't say no to the puppy dog eyes, just like my dream. MY DREAM! I had forgotten about it. Was it just a dream? Ah, who am I kidding, of course it was. Just a dream.
When the car stopped, Tommy got out and opened the door for me. I saw we were at the studio.
"Hey, what are we doing here?"
"It's a surprise." He opened the door, and every one jumped out and screamed, "SURPRISE!" I was so shocked, that I fainted.
I woke to a song being played. It was a slow song, with a faint melody that seemed familiar. The words being sung were this:
You saved me from my solitude,
You granted me the chance to be free,
But all I needed,
Was for you to be with me
I thought I would never know love,
Hiding behind my mask of shame,
But then you found me,
And my feelings for you were set aflame...
Holding back these feelings,
Causes me great pain,
But it all unfolded,
The day I threw away my mask of shame…
Save me from the slavery,
Rescue me from myself,
I'll love you till the end of our days,
Just never be anyone else…
Forever I'll love you,
It'll always be a dream come true,
Staying here with you,
With never make me feel blue,
Cuz deep in my heart,
I know now I'll never again fall apart…
As long as you're there to fix me,
As long as we're meant to be,
Which I can tell you,
Is forever,
Cuz you my savior…
You saved me from a world filled with hate,
You saved me from the people who used me as bait,
You said you'd never leave me,
And I can see that it's true,
And remember now,
That I'll never leave you...
Then the words stopped, and a different tune was played… A more painful tune. There were no words, but the music said enough… I opened my eyes and saw worried blue ones looking back at me.
"Hey."
"Hey yourself."
"Well, it seems you're feeling better."
"I would be if you were actually here. I know this is a dream. Don't lie to me. I know it, please let me wake up soon."
