Blueberry Blue

"Alright Miss Harrison, sorry to disturb you at this time." Jude nodded at the officers and just turned back to the funeral service taking place in front of her.

She took a shaky breath and walked over to the Chain Gang. They were all wearing their chains, blue jeans and white shirts, most of the guys were wearing white beaters. John said that Reid wouldn't want them wearing black, but white to celebrate his life.

As of now they were on top of a mountain in Reid's hometown. He told Caleb that he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes thrown on all sides of the mountain.

"Will the arrow shooters please step forward…" The priest said.

John sighed and took a step forward, his hands stuffed in his pockets. Reid's brother stepped forward, wearing a black suit and shooting daggers at everyone with the chain. Caleb then stepped forward. They waited for the fourth man to come forward but no one did, John turned to Tommy and nodded his head, signaling for him to come forward.

Tommy looked around questioningly and John just mumbled, "C'mon man, he would want you to do it."

Jude gently touched his arm and nodded, signaling it was okay to go. Tommy stepped forward. The priest split up the ashes that used to be Reid into four equal piles and then small bags.

Each man was handed a bow and arrow, the tip of the arrow had the bag with the ashes on it. John was assigned to face North, Caleb East, his brother, Anthony, West, and Tommy South. The priest sad a prayer and all four men raised the arrows and let them fly. After in the air, the bags burst and everyone watched as the winds blew Reid in all different directions, just like he would've wanted.

Jude took another shaky breath as the priest blessed the ashes, the winds carrying him, and his soul. Tommy walked over to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders; he pulled her to him and let her cry into his chest. But Jude didn't want to cry. When Tommy didn't feel her sobbing her pulled her at arm's length and looked into her eyes.

Jude looked at him, her bottom lip started to quiver. "Jude, you're probably still in shock. It's okay…"

He went to pull her into a tight hug but Jude stopped him, "Is it? Is it really okay?"

Tommy opened his mouth to answer but then stopped, he couldn't answer her.

Jude pulled away and dropped his hands. She walked away from them, away from the service, away from it all.

Tommy hung his head, knowing she needed some space. John, however, felt different. He pushed past people and followed Jude out to the woods. Being on top of a mountain in Pennsylvania had its advantages for hiding purposes. But John found Jude anyway.

She was sitting on a fallen log, deep within the woods. She was holding her chain that was around her neck in one hand, and another chain in another. John sat down next to her and barely acknowledged her presence.

Jude sobbed, finally crying, John started to rub her back and she collapsed into his shoulder. "Why? Why would he leave this to me? Was it mocking?! Saying, 'ha! I'm gone but I can still make you feel guilty about abandoning us!'."

John turned to her to tell her no but Jude dropped the chain into the leaves and ran. John sighed; he bent over and picked up Reid's old chain. He rubbed his off and held it close to his chest, "He loved you baby girl…" He whispered, even though Jude was long gone.

Now back at home, Jude walked through G-Major. Everyone was looking at her, sending her sympathetic glances and knowing looks. She even got flower arrangements from 'Tiffany, Bridget, and Amanda' the three interns that she never talked to. Finally getting enough of it she slammed her bag down on the floor, the loud 'thump' got everyone's attention, though she had it anyway. "One of my best friends died. He died and it's on my shoulders, what he wanted, what he needed, and what I never did for him. I feel guilty and all your sympathetic looks won't make me feel better. So, stop it!!"

Jude took a deep breath and turned to walk into the studio but Tommy was standing there. He grabbed her arms and gently pulled her outside, Jude just let herself be pulled. Finally outside Jude looked around at the rain falling. "Jude, I know this is hard for you, hell it's hard for me too. We will get to the bottom of who did this, but for right now why don't you take some time off. Write some new stuff, I know you have it in you."

Jude seemed to ignore him and just look out at the rain, so Tommy continued. "He didn't deserve this; Reid was a great guy…"

"Who loved rain."

"What?"

"Rain. Reid loved the rain. I remember when I first went to a party with Paul it was raining out. Reid was hanging out outside when we pulled up. Paul nodded at him and walked inside but I stayed behind and just watched him…"

Tommy watched as Jude rested her back against the brick wall and sunk down to the ground, pulling her knees to her chest. Tommy sat down next to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders as she continued. "I just watched him, watch the rain and smoke that cigarette. He finally noticed me watching him and smiled, we made some small talk about nothing in particular and then he just grabbed my arm. He pulled me into the rain and we started dancing. Dancing in the rain. We just swayed, he offered me a cigarette and before I could answer Paul came outside and yelled for me to come inside. He kissed my cheek and I walked inside. He stayed out in the rain all night."

Tommy nodded in understanding and just pulled Jude closer. "Is that why you like the rain?"

Jude looked at him, "How did you know I like the rain?"

Tommy smiled, "Unlike some other guys, I actually listen when you talk. I remember when we were talking about your dream wedding that one time; you said you wanted a traditional wedding in a church and you wanted a light drizzle outside. You said you liked the way it looks through the windows and the way it sounded when it hit the earth."

Jude just smiled to herself, and then she turned to Tommy and smiled. "I love you."

Tommy smiled at her, "I love you too. So much."

Jude leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips. It was their first kiss since Reid's death. Jude hasn't gone anywhere without his chain since John gave it back to her. Jude clutched it tighter through the fabric of her jean pockets where it lied. Tommy held up his hand to cradle the back of her neck. He let his tongue swipe across the roof of her mouth. Jude smiled as they continued their sweet kisses.

"Eh-hem."

They pulled away and Tommy wiped his mouth of any traces of lip gloss that might have rubbed on him. Jude smiled, "Hey John."

"Hey Cherry. Tom." He greeted them. "Listen, I had this weird dream last night and it started this whole idea. How about we have a benefit type of thing for Reid. We can raise some great money to hire a private investigator to try and figure out who killed…what happened that night."

Jude smiled sadly, "It sounds like a great idea. What can I do to help?"

"Help me plan it?" John asked sweetly. Jude smiled, "Of course. Well I just got some time off of G-Major so I'll get some general plans together and we can hang out tomorrow, and really go through everything?" John shook his head, "I have G-Major all week. I need to get some stuff out so next week we can really plan everything. But we can still hang out tomorrow. I need to talk to you about some stuff."

Jude nodded, "Sure." She turned to Tommy, "You want to come?"

John intervened, "Um, Jude. I need to talk to you about some private stuff. No offense Tom, but it's…" He trailed off, not wanting to say much.

Tommy nodded his head, "No problem. I have to work with Karma tomorrow anyway."

Jude rolled her eyes and kissed him quickly, "I am going to go see Caleb, he hasn't said much…"

Everyone nodded, agreeing. Caleb was the closest to Reid out of everyone. They grew up together and Caleb joined the Chain Gang to get away from his abusive home and Reid came with him.

Tommy stood, helping Jude up too. They dusted the dirt off of themselves, already a little wet, and Tommy headed back inside. Jude followed to get her bag but John lagged behind. Jude turned around and looked out the window curiously.

John was standing right in front of the door, he removed the cap he was wearing and looked up. Letting the rain fall over him completely. Jude squinted her eyes and watched his lips move, talking quietly to the skies.

Jude smiled in his direction before turning around again to grab her bag and exiting G-Major.
