Chapter 1: Reuniting

"Jude, why are you pacing around like a crazy person?' Sadie was sitting on the edge of Jude's bed, watching Jude pace frantically back and forth.

"Because Sadie, Tommy's coming back today."

"And why would that cause you to pace around frantically?"

"Because, I haven't seen or heard from him in three months. Well, okay, he calls me a lot and e-mails me, but it's not the same."

"But still. Don't you think you're going a tad bit overboard? It's not like he's oh say your boyfriend or anything." Sadie smiled smugly at Jude while Jude just glared at her sister evilly.

"I know, Sadie. I just…I just can't help it."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. Up until recently, I used to do the same thing. But then I found who was better for me. Someone not Tommy." Sadie and Jude exchanged a silent understanding until it was interrupted by the doorbell ringing. Jude jumped ten feet pout of her skin.

"Oh my God. That's him! Okay how do I look? How's my outfit? How's my hair?"

"Jude."

"Okay, I'm taking that as a 'you look fine.'"

"Just go, Jude."

"Okay, Sades! Later!" Jude tore out of her room toward the stairs, and Sadie just shook her head and sighed. Jude started walking down the stairs, smoothing her outfit and hair as she went. When she was at the door, she inhaled a deep breath and let it go before she opened the door to reveal Jamie. Th anticipation on her face quickly faded into disappointment when she saw it was Jamie.

"Hey Jude. You ready for our date?" Jamie felt utter excitement. And who could blame him. He was with the love of his life, the girl he's been in love with since they were pre-teens. But the question was is she happy. Sure she had chosen him, but he's noticed that she acts distantly around him. Strained. He noticed the disappointment on her face, but pushed it aside.

"Hey Jamie. Uh...we have a…"

"Date. Well more like brunch. Since I can't take you out tonight we decided to go to brunch.

"Oh yeah. Sorry, I've just got a lot on my mind, and I forgot."

"Oh, totally understandable. So are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, let's go." Jamie led Jude out of the house toward his car. He opened the door the door for Jude, and then he went to his side of the car, got in, and they drove off. Jamie had ended up picking a small but cute little café for his brunch date with Jude. All throughout the date, Jude looked distracted, like her mind was somewhere else entirely, which it was. She was thinking back to the night when Tommy had given her the ticket to join him in Thailand, the night he had told her his most intimate confessions, the night he told her he loved her. It had taken her by surprise, believe it or not. She knew the he did love her, but he had never said the words out loud. He had also said that he wanted all of her with him forever. Honestly, that had shocked her more than anything. At the time, she thought he was proposing to her. Crazy, she knew. But that's what she had thought at the time. She wouldn't have have said no if he asked.

'No,' she thought, 'I definitely wouldn't have said no. I've always thought of myself as Mrs. Tom Quincy.' She was brought out of her thoughts by Jamie calling her name.

"Jude?" Jamie was calling her for the third time, which Jude was unaware of the first two.

"Are you sure you're okay? You seem kind of distracted."

"Yeah. Like I said before, I've just got a lot on my mind."

"Well, as long as you're sure." Jamie smiled at Jude. Jude gave him a reassuring smile in return.

"I'm gonna go see what's taking our food so long. Be right back." He stood up and kissed her quickly on the lips before leaving. As soon as he left, her phone rang. She picked it up, and saw Tommy's Picture on the screen.

"Hello?'

"Hey, Girl. How ya doin'?"

"Good. I could be better, but I'm good."

"Well, fear not. You'll see me soon enough."

"How soon? Are you back yet?"

"In time, Harrison, in time."

"The goes International Man of Mystery, Tommy Quincy once again."

"Very funny, Jude. I missed that humor."

"Really?"

"Really. You know I missed everything about you."

"Tommy."

"Listen, I gotta take care of something. I'll see you later."

"Wait later? How much later/"

"In time, Harrison," and with that, Tommy hung up the phone. As soon as Jude closed her phone, Jamie arrived back at the table.

"So what's taking them so long?"

"Oh the cook suffered from a heat stroke, so they had to cool him off."

"Hmm." Jamie noticed Jude's chance in mood. Whatever happened while he was away had made her happy. Just then, her phone rang again.

"One second," she said as she opened her phone. She anticipated it to be Tommy, but was disappointed to see Sadie's picture on the screen."

"Hello?'

"Jude? Where are you?"

"On a date."

"Oh well, hurry up and finish up, you're needed down at the studio."

"Why? I don't have to work today."

"Look, I don't know. Just get down here, ASAP."

"Fine, I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye." Jude closed her phone and looked at Jamie.

"I'm needed down at the studio."

"Well, it's not like we ate anything."

"Yeah, we'd better go." They got up to leave, and drove to the new Pegan Studios, also known as P.S.

"So, I guess I'll talk to you later?"

"Yeah, but probably tomorrow because I'll be busy."

"K, I'll talk to you tomorrow, then. Bye!"

"I-"

"Later!" She ran up to the doors.

"love you," Jamie said to his door. With a heavy sigh, he drove off to finish business. Jude walked into the studio and over to Sadie's desk

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"Why am I needed here?"

"Like I said, I don't know. They just needed you for something important."

"What could possibly be so important?" Just then ,Jude felt someone's familiar breath in her ear.

"So am I not important to you anymore, Harrison?"

"Tommy?!?" Jude turned around to face none other than Tommy himself.

"In the flesh, Girl."

"How long have you been back?"

"About four hours."

"What?!?! You've been back four hours and haven't called?!"

"Actually, I did call, remember. But sorry, anyway. Most of the time, I've been sleeping. I've only been up since a little before twelve."

"Well, you're half forgiven. What about the rest of the time?"

"I was busy. I had something to take care of. I only recently just got here." He looked down at her with his beautiful blue eyes. Every time he looked at her like that, it was easy to forget everything else except him.

"Okay fine. You're forgiven." Tommy smiled at his accomplishment and Jude just rolled her eyes.

'So are you going to welcome back your favorite producer?"

"Tommy, you're my only producer."

"Oh good way to kill the ego, Jude"

"Sorry. If it helps, you are my favorite producer"

"It's better, but that still hurt."

"How about something else to make you feel better"

"Oh well now Jude I didn't know you wanted to get down that way!"

"Oh what gross! Not even, Quincy! I meant a hug."

"Oh well that works, too" She walked up to him, and to his surprise, she slid her arms through his and around his waist, and hugged him. He put his arms around her and pulled closer. He noticed she was shifting under him. He pulled her away from him and saw her face was covered in tears and mascara

"Jude, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Jude looked up at him, her face wet and disfigured.

"Why don't we go over to the couch, okay?" She nodded silently as he led her to the couch. They sat down and faced each other. He noticed that there were a few tears still making their way down her face. He placed his thumbs gently on her face and wiped them away. She looked up at him and he pulled his hands down to grab hers

"Jude, what's wrong?"

"It's just that…just that I missed you so much. You've been gone for three months and then seeing you again, I just…lost it."

"Jude, I missed you too, Girl. You don't even know how much!

"Thanks Quincy. You always know what to say."

"I wasn't just saying that, though. I mean it, I missed you."

"I missed you, too," they both smiled up at one another as Tommy pulled her into a hug. She let his strong yet gentle arms guide her to his chest, gladly resting herself against it.

'God, I love this girl so much. It's just too bad I can't have her.' Jude and Tommy stopped hugging after what felt like hours. They both procrastinated around the studio before they decided they wanted to leave. Tommy drove Jude home, and the ride was silent, with only the occasional looks they gave one another when they thought the other wasn't looking. They pulled up at Jude's house, but Jude didn't get out to leave.

"Tommy…I'm glad you're back."

"Me too, Rockstar, but you better have some new music. We start working tomorrow."

"Oh trust me, I've got some work."

"Good, so tomorrow then?"

"Yeah tomorrow." Jude and Tommy sat there in Tommy's car until Jude suddenly brought herself over the seat to kiss Tommy's cheek. She had wanted to do that all day, but didn't know how. She figured now was the best time, ending the evening with it and all. She slided back over her seat, and got out of the car, shutting the door. She turned around and looked at Tommy.

"Good night, Tommy."

"Um, good night, Jude." He watched her turn around to walk up to her house. He waited until she was inside before leaving, but not before murmuring an, "I love you" behind her. With those last words, he drove away into the night.
