Hey! I just want to say that I hope you're enjoying this story, and I have an idea of where I want it to go. I think it will be ending soon, but I'm not 100 sure. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I still don't own IS. It would rock if I did though.
"Does she know she's your ex? Cause it sure as hell didn't seem like it." "Yes, now get it the car. Mason's plane lands in two hours and the airport is 45 minutes away without traffic. And I'm sure there will be traffic, so unless you want to stand there while I go get Mason, I suggest you get in the car." "Okay, okay, I'm getting in."
An hour and a half later they were at the airport. "We got here with plenty of time. You were worried about nothing." I say, heading towards the gift shop to pass the time. Tommy just made a face at me and followed me into the shop. "Half an hour is not plenty of time. We would have been here sooner but someone had to stop at McDonald's because airport food is disgusting." "Well it is. And we would have been her sooner butI had to eat it there, becauseyou wouldn't let me eat it in the car." In the process of fighting, we had left the shop and ended up at the terminal where Mason's plane would land. "I wouldn't let you because you'd spill something. Even if it's just to make me mad." I put my hand over my heart. "I'm hurt that you think I'm that mean."
"I see things between you two are normal again." I turned to see Mason coming towards us, duffel bag over his shoulder. "Mason!" I wrap my arms around his neck. "I missed you." "Jude, it's only been a week since you've seen me and you talked to me two days ago." He laughs as he says it and soon I'm laughing too. Tommy just stares at us like we're crazy.
"Let's get your bags so we can go sightseeing." I head towards the baggage claim until Tommy calls out to me. "Jude, don't you think he might want to rest first? Ever heard of jet lag?" I think about this for a minute. "Okay, we'll go tomorrow. I have a ton of stuff to tell you anyways." Mason and I talk nonstop the entire way to the house. I told him about the sights, and he told me about his concerts.
When we got to the house I could tell Mason was as impressed as I had been. "Wait til you see the inside." I headed up the stairs to the door, eager to get Mason's opinion about the Tommy situation. As soon as Mason was settled in his room, I told him everything.
"Wow." Mason sat down on the bed, then looked up at me. "So what are you gonna do?" Before I could answer, a voice from downstairs caught my attention. "Hello Tommy." the voice giggled. Crystal. "That fake tan, bleach blonde, barbie wannabe, little-" "Jude!" Mason calls but I'm already headed downstairs.
I walk into the living room and stop dead in my tracks. They're kissing! I gonna kick her skinny little butt. I walk over and pull her off of him, pushing her against the wall. "You're so gonna regret that!" I pull my arm back, but someone pulls me away before I can do anyhting. "Jude!" Tommy's eyes are filled with anger. "What are you doing?" Isn't it obvious? "What am I doing? What are you doing?"
I pull away from him and walk out the front door. I don't know how long I walked, but I ended up by a creek. What creek, I don't know. "Great, just great!" I yell into the air. I pick up a rock and throw it into the creek. After throwing a few more rocks to release some of my anger, I sit down and wrap my arms around my knees. I feel tears in my eyes, and I let them fall freely. After all, no one's around to see.
I knew this would happen. This always happens. I fall for him, then he breaks my heart. Why did I think this time might different?
As the sky darkens I start to get nervous. I don't remember how to get back, and I'm afraid I'll get lost if I try to find my way back. I take out my cell phone to try to call Tommy, but I lose the signal and the call is lost. I may hate his guts, but I'd sure be happy to see Tommy right now.
Meanwhile...
"Why'd you do that? We're over, obviously you didn't get that through your head." Crystal pouts at me but right now I'm more worrried about Jude. "Get out of my house." I growl. "But Tommy-" "Now!" She leaves in a huff and I turn my thoughts to Jude. I've got to find her and explain. I can't lose her again. I try calling her cell, but I keep losing the call. I'm pacing back and forth when my cell rings. I fli it open, and when I see the number, I answer. "Jude...Jude where are you...I can't hear...Crap!" I mutter as I lose the call yet again.
"I'm gonna go look for her." I turn to grab my keys from the table anmd see Mason standing at the top of the stairs. "Is there anything I can do?" I toss him the cordless phone. "Keep calling her. Try to find out where she is. If you find out, call me." I say scribbling my number on a piece of paper. "Here." I say, stufing the paper in his hands.
I walk out the door, and jump into the Viper. Think Tom. Where could she be that she doesn't get a signal? I start the car and drive off. I search everywhere. Where is she? As I drive around I get an idea. I drive up to the hill here I showed her the view. Maybe she'll be there.
Jude
What am I gonna do? Maybe if I go over to the other side, I'll get a better signal. Slowly I make my way across, and when I reach the other side, I check my phone. Still no signal. Great. I start to make my way back across the creek, steeping on rocksto avoid getting wet. As I go to step on the next rock, I slip and fall into the water. I get to the other side and sit down, yelling as I do. "Could it get any worse?" Of course, it starts to rain. Perfect.
I might as well at least try to get back to a street. As I'm making my way back, I hear something. I stop and listen. It's very faint. "Jude!" It's Tommy. "Tommy! I'm over here!" I yell as loudly as I can, which is pretty loud. Hey, you have to have a good set of lungs to sing. "Jude! Jude!" He's getting closer. In a few minutes, I see him. I start running toward him, yelling as I do. "Tommy!" He turns and sees me. I stop and let him come to me. I'm shivering as he wraps his arms around me. "Lets get you home." He leads me to the Viper, where I hesitate to get in. "What's wrong?" "We'll get water all over the Viper. Won't it ruin the leather?" "Jude, right now all I care about is you. Get in." I do, and he turns the heater on full blast.
We arrive home dripping wet, but otherwise fine. I take a long, hot bath and put on clean, dry clothes. I crawl into bed, too tired to deal with Tommy tonight. I'll deal with him tomorrow.
Tommy
As I leave the bathroom after taking a shower, I go by Jude's room. She's asleep, and she looks so peaceful. Tomorrow though, she's going to look anything but peaceful. Oh yeah, she's definitely gonna kick my ass tomorrow. But for now, I'm going to let her sleep. I walk over to the bed quietly and gently kiss her cheek. "I'm so sorry." I whisper as I leave the room.
