It's Not Always That easy

"JUDE!" She ran out into the lobby of G Major. "WHAT?"
Her sister looked up from the desk, and handed her the phone.
"Who is it?"
Sadie shrugged. "They wouldn't say..."
She put the phone to her ear. "Hello...who is this?"
"Guess?"
"Come on...its my 18th today, and I don't exactly have time for phone games...who is this?"
"This I guess you'll just have to wait and see tonight..."
The phone clicked dead, and she rolled her eyes, handing the phone back to Sadie.
"Georgia was here looking for you...she wanted to check that everything was right...you know, you got your dress, shoes, accesories...all that stuff?"
"Okay...no call from mom?"
"No, but dad called and said he'll be here..."
"Yeah..." She sighed, walking away, toward the back office...


Meanwhile

Tommy drove along the highway, looking at everything he'd missed this past year...he soaked in the scenery, as White Lines played on the stereo system. He had it on playback, because that's where he was going...he was going home...home to her...and they could finally be together,...like he'd wanted the year before when he was suddenly called away...

Flashback
"Mr. Quincy?" Tommy turned to see a legal type standing next to him...oh god...Darius saw us kiss last week...I just know it "Can I help you..." "Yes...We need to speak, now." "Can't it wait until my girlfriend is done..." "No,it needs to be now..." "But-" "NOW!"
"Fine!" They walked off to a secluded room.
"I've been sent to inform you that your sister, has been in a car accident...and it says in her will, that if anything happened to her , you were supposed to be sent for her daughter..." "God, no...not now..." "What?" "I...uh...when do we leave?" "Tonight...a flight leaves at 11." "Okay...I have to say goodbye to someone before we go, though... and you're not going to stop me...it has to be done..."

Flashback Ends

He looked up at the milage sign which stated he had another 40 miles before Toronto would be reached...

Back in G Major, 2 hours later, Jude stood in the front by Kwest, admiring the work everyone had put into making the room up.
"It's beautiful Kwest..."
"Not as half as beautiful as you or your sister look."
"Aww...suck up...and you should be saying that to Sadie...she's your girlfriend..."
Sadie walked up. "Thanks...and yes I think I look nice too...Jude, doors open in 2 minutes, and Darius wants you there... (Jude's outfit-http/dresses.


Meanwhile...Tommy

Tommy pulled up to G Major, and walked in the back door. He walked through to the stage, where, after he'd talked to Darius about getting his job back, he was supposed to be the first person to say something...

Everyone came back in, and Jude walked over by Sadie, who stood dumbfounded. "Hey what's going on?"
"Look..."
Sadie pointed to the stage.
"Hey everyone...on behalf of G Major, I know I've been gone for a while, and I'd love to explain later, but I'd like to be the first to say here...happy 18 Birthday, Jude...My own song goes out to you right now..."
He sat dwon at the piano and began playing...

Close to you, so far away,
A rented room, an empty space,
Sirens bleeding through the open door,
Movie scene in black and white,
The snow falls down alone tonight.
No one's ever felt like this before.

What went wrong with you and me?
This is my apology.
'Cos even when I fall asleep, you stay with me,
You stay with me.

Stuck inside a broken frame,
Watching as seasons change,
Hoping time will finally set me free,
Suddenly, you're standing there,
A crowded street, a lonely stare,
A thousand miles of traffic in between.

What went wrong with you and me?
This is my apology.
From the moment that I leave, you stay with me,
You stay with me.

Every letter that you wrote stays with me,
And every promise that I broke, stays with me,
And everything that's left inside, stays with me,
It stays with me.

Close to you, so far away,
A rented room, an empty space,
Sirens bleeding through the open door,
Movie scene in black and white,
The snow falls down alone tonight.
No one's ever felt like this before.

Tommy openned his eyes, as tears brimmed both his and Judes eyes, and everyone clapped. He knew if he could see her, and there were tears in her eyes...she'd forgiven him...he looked out to find her, but she called his name first. She was standing at the edge of the stage with tears in her eyes.
"I don't know how, and I don't know why...but I forgive you..."

Out On The Roof

"Why do you always do this to me? You let me fall for you...and then you hurt me again? You wanna help me here? Tell me what I'm doing wrong, so I can fix it?"
Tommy stood in the same stance he had 2 years earlier, and spoke the same words.
"I told you then, and I'll tell you now. You are ASKING THE WRONG GUY!" He grabbed her and kissed her, as he'd done 2 years before, but pulled her into an embrace, as it started to rain. After a minute or so, he pulled away from her.

"I don't want you to go...ever... and I don't ever want to leave you again...ever..." She gave him a half smile, as tears emerged at the edges of their eyes. "No more tears, babygirl...no more...I promise..." He wiped her tears, as she smiled, and let out a small giggle. He wrapped his jacket around her shoulders, and held her close, as they stood, looking out at the rain pouring down below...

Okay, I have to go to a family thing, but R/R.

Here's some spoilers for later... I'll have another episode up later tonight.

On the Next Instant Star

"Why cant you just explain it to me!"
"Because it almost killed me when it happened the first time! I would hate to have to see you suffer while I explain what happened... You shouldn't have to know that pain that i suffered then... Its not fair to you!"
"I need to know your past present and future if we can ever be a couple..."
