Please review me too, I so look forward to reading them!!

The next days passed quickly for Tommy and Jude. They were down to their three remaining days on the island. One day was spent…well in bed. The pair did nothing but enjoy each others bodies and the satisfaction they gave. One day Jude spent out on the beach writing songs, while Tommy took in a round of golf on the par 3 course the resort offered. Dinner was a candle light mean in the cabana where they had spent one of their first days.

The glow of the candle light softened Jude's face and made her look angelic as her hair blew and waved in the ocean breeze. Tommy was dressed in a white button up cotton shirt that showed off his newly acquired tan, and made his eyes shine even brighter in the moonlight.

"I don't want this to end," Jude said as she flopped back down on the large mattress of the cabana.

"We have to go back sometime…" Tom told her.

"But wasn't it just so nice to get away from the accident and G-major and Sadie? I could stay here forever."

"Just because you can escape reality for a few precious moments doesn't mean that it won't catch up with you…"

Jude turned her head and looked at him, "I guess you're right, I kinda want to make music again with you anyways…" she said.

"Good I can't wait to go back in a record some of these songs; it will be just like we're on this beach every time I listen to them."

"Love me?" she asked him, looking into his eyes.

"Of course, I can't thank you enough for this time. I didn't know if for sure you would come with me when you found out that I invited you off somewhere. I was afraid that you would turn me down." He said as he looked downcast at the plate of food in front of him.

"Why is that?" she asked.

"I don't know, I was afraid I guess…it would hurt you to much? That didn't come out right…I thought you wouldn't want to go because you would be to sad when we got back that it was over…"

"That is a silly, irrational fear Tom Quincy," she said as she scooted closer to him, "I would follow you to the ends of the earth and back if possible…I would go anywhere with you or for you."

"I know you would Jude. You prove to me over and over again that you'll wait for me, and I can't imagine being in your shoes…but its hard for me, I mean I do have someone else to go home to while you lie alone at night. I don't know what that's like, but I can only thank you for getting through this with me. I promise you Jude," he said as she leaned down over her, "I promise you this will all be over soon. No more sneaking, no more lying…just us."

Jude looked into his eyes and ran her hand down the side of his face.

"Why now, why all of a sudden are you saying these things?" she asked.

"Because this time I've spent together with you on the island only proves to me that much more that you are the one I'm meant for Jude. You didn't throw a fit or complain about anything the whole time we were here, you were grateful, and you loved me just the same as you love me back home. Sadie…if I had brought Sadie here we would still be back home packing and yelling at each other. You…" he said as he placed a light kiss on her lips, "You are special Jude, and no matter where your career has taken you or will take you, you're normal. And it's completely refreshing." Jude wiped a small tear from her eye, willing herself not to cry. He leaned down and kissed her again, longer this time. Jude broke the kiss after a moment, taking a breath.

"Can I tell you something?" she asked him.

"Anything, tell me the sky is green and I'll believe you," he told her laughing.

"Seriously…When I was in the accident and I was sitting there and Kwest wasn't there yet. I was scared, so to calm myself I thought of you, and us. I thought of when you kiss me and when you hold me. I thought of the life and the babies that I could have had with you. And it made my heart hurt worse than the physical pain I was feeling. I'm pretty sure it was then that I passed out, thinking of you was the last thing I remembered."

"Come here," he told her, as she sat up and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her tight and held her close to his body. It wasn't till a moment later that Jude realized he was crying.

"Baby, Tommy? Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you I just wanted to tell you…I mean how much you mean to me I thought I wouldn't see you again and you were all I could think about…" Jude let her words trail off as they didn't seem to comfort him. He looked at her with tear filled eyes.

"I'm sorry Jude…I'm so sorry. I didn't know I would hurt you this bad, and I didn't know how much we would mean to each other. I've made some serious mistakes that I'm trying to fix…" Jude realized this was about much more than her accident.

"If I had lost you Jude, I don't know what I would have done. You…are the only thing I want to live for…I'm sorry Jude. I'll make it up to you I promise. When we get home, I will tell her. First thing I will tell her she needs to go. I can't live like this any longer, without you…"

The plane ride home was mostly filled with sleeping and watching one another. How people ended up being tired after a vacation Jude couldn't figure out. The only physically exerting thing she had done on the island…was…well, Tommy. It seemed like forever till they landed and than it seemed like long hours before the got off the plane. Jude pulled the hat over her blond hair as did Tommy, along with donning a pair of glasses. They hadn't wanted to arrive at 10:00 in the morning when a lot of the people were in the airport but they didn't have a choice. Tommy and Jude held hands as the stood in line in the tunnel to get out into the terminal. They were home, and they were tired. Both wanted to just return home and sleep. The closer and closer they got, the more relief they both felt. That is until the reached the terminal.

Sadie stood there with her hands on her hips. If Jude hadn't known any better she would have guess she had been standing there for a few days waiting for them to walk off the flight. Tom never let go of Jude's hand as the walked toward her.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were off somewhere on a photo shoot."

"I was" she spat, "Until I picked up a tabloid and saw you two…ALONE ON AN ISLAND GOD DAMN IT!" It wasn't until than that Tom dropped Jude's hand and roughly grabbed Sadie's by the arm. He got real close to her and spoke very low.

"You will not, make a scene here, do you understand me?" Sadie knew the tone in his voice and she didn't dare say another word. Tommy let her go with a push and walked back to Jude, and whispered in her ear.

"Go to your place, I will call you," he told her with a kiss on her cheek. Jude walked past them, ignoring the evil stares from her sister. Sadie deserved whatever Tom was going to do or say to her, and Jude was not worried one bit.

The cab ride back to Sadie and Tommy's apartment was silent. Every once in a while she would sniffle like she had been crying, or she would wipe her eyes, but he wasn't falling for any of it.

"Cut that shit out," he told her.

"Oh please Tom, DO NOT talk to me like that," she wined, "I bet you don't talk to Jude like that!"

"You're right, I don't" he said with little emotion. Sadie opened her eyes wide and looked at him. He glanced at her and for the first time, and saw that her feelings might have been hurt. When they arrived back at the apartment, Sadie stomped into the building and stood there looking very annoyed as Tommy gathered his bags together.

"Hurry up Tom!" He ignored her screams as he walked onto the waiting elevator. Inside the apartment he put his bags down in their room and walked to where he could hear Sadie in the kitchen slamming things. Tom leaned against the counter and watched as she stomped around the room.

"That isn't making anything any better…" he told her.

"Shut up Tom! Ughh I don't even know what to say to you first." She yelled at him

"Well you might as well hurry up and say it…because I don't even care anymore."

"What do you mean you don't care anymore? You don't care about me anymore, or your marriage?" Tommy just looked at her with an 'I don't give a shit' look on his face.

"Well damn it Tom, you could have picked a nice way to tell your wife you don't want to be with her than to run off with her little sister."

Tom knew it was now or never, fix things or let them be…Sadie or Jude.

"I've been with Jude for…a long time now," he said.

If steam could have risen out of Sadie's head it would have. She stomped over to the phone and all most pulled the entire thing out of the wall as she picked up the hand set.

"Get your sorry little backstabbing whore ass over here right now! We are discussing this!"

"Oh so I take it he told you?" Jude said confidently on the other end of the phone. Sadie screamed and slammed the phone back down on the receiver.

Tommy should have felt bad; he should have been more remorseful that he was ending his marriage this way. But then he would feel the cool ocean breeze on his face, and the way Jude's hands felt on his skin, and he didn't care anymore. Sadie walked into the living room and sat down in a big chair facing the couch, " You know Sade's-"

"do NOT say anything till she gets here. That little brat is going to tell me for herself." Tom stifled a laugh.

"Whatever you say," he said sitting down on the couch, then in all seriousness, " But I swear to god Sadie, if you even so much as think about touching her…I will make sure you are out of his house and out on your ass faster than you could blink. And I'm sure with a few phone calls from me and the right people I can have you out of a job too…"

As Jude walked down the street she smiled at the thought of Tommy keeping his promise and telling Sadie. Well there wasn't much more he could do when she saw them getting off the plane together. Tom had never revealed to her how he managed to get away with her to the island, but she didn't care, so she never asked. She assumed this would all come out when she got to his house. She was upset that she knew this was hurting her sister, but her sister hadn't been a real sister, let alone a real person to her in a long time. Jude kept reminding herself how different Sadie was than the little girl she had grown up with. The more she thought about it, the angrier she had become thinking of all the shitty things Sadie had said or done to her. Jude had let her walk all over her for far to long and she wasn't going to let that happen anymore. On the elevator ride up Jude pulled a key to Tom's apartment out of her pocket and straightened her shoulders, holding her head up high.

She reached the door and put the key in. Taking a deep breath she turned the key, than the door knob, and walked right into a situation she knew was not going to be pretty.

When Sadie heard the door start to open she looked slightly shocked, but then saw the small grin on Tommy's face, and knew it was Jude. She didn't know what to say! Her husband, HER HUSBAND, had been living this whole secret life with Jude! She walked in and dropped her bag on the floor and sat down close to Tom on the couch.

"So what do you want to know Sadie?" Jude asked.

"How long has this been going on?" she said curtly.

"Since…" Jude paused looking at Tom, "Before the wedding…I don't know I cant exactly remember that far back."

Sadie didn't even flinch. Jude looked at her and wondered how anyone could be so self absorbed that she didn't even really care. She didn't even show any emotion!

"This trip to the island, who's idea was it?" Sadie asked looking at Jude.

"Mine, I gave Jude about what baby, an hours notice? We've been gone for 9 days."

"NINE DAYS! I just found out about this two days ago! Jesus Tom are you hiding any kids or anything along with your double life?"

Tommy smiled and looked at Jude.

"Not yet"

Sadie rolled her eyes and thought about her next question.

"So are you seriously stupid Tommy, did you not think I would find out about this?!"

"Well, honestly, no I never ever thought you would find out about this. If someone hadn't taken our picture you would still be off in god knows where doing your brainless modeling work, and I would have STILL ended it with you when I got home. I'm sorry Sadie but I just can't live like this anymore."

"UGHHH how can you do this to me? I mean I know she can sing and everything but look at her! She looks like a bag of trash compared to me! And I so know I totally make more money than her, plus I can cook! I'M A FRICKIN TROPHY WIFE DAMN IT!"

Sadie yelled as she stood from her chair. Jude laughed at her sister's outrage and leaned into Tommy a little more.

"So I take it your sleeping with her right? Because I mean you don't sleep with me anymore which I don't get because I'm like, really hot…"

"We've been sleeping together since…umm like 2 Christmas' ago or something like that, he cant get enough of me" Jude said nonchalantly. She stared Sadie down as she was staring at her, not going to give into her screaming and bitching. " I mean the only way he would sleep with you again Sadie…is if you turned into me! Face it Sadie your just not good enough, I fuck him better, I love him better, we get along better. You just DON'T CUT IT!"

"I swear to god I'm going to kill you!" Sadie screamed as she lunged toward Jude, but Jude saw it coming and jumped off the sofa and out of her way before Sadie could get hold of her. She tumbled onto the couch and than to the floor screaming the whole time. Jude stood laughing at her.

"Jude, I'm your sister!" she said as the tears started to fall.

"Save it Sadie, save your tears for someone who will believe them…" Jude told her. Tommy helped pull Sadie back up on the couch as her tears stopped just as fast as they started.

" Sadie, I am so sick of your poor me BULL SHIT! You have your career, and you HAD a good marriage with a man…and man that I cant even begin to describe. I don't get how you could have been so mean to me all those years. I did nothing to you and you always treated me like shit, well now you know how it feels."

"But Ju-"

"No you do not get to talk till I'm done, and than you can pack your shit and leave. Because you know what Sadie? Tommy and I are sick of your pathetic, vain CRAP."

"What so now you speak for Tommy to?"

"Yes she does, because I love her, and we, well we think the same…" he said as he gazed into Jude's eyes.

"So whatever else you wanna know, ask away princess, because this is the last time you'll talk to me, EVER. And that last time you see Tommy before you go to DIVORCE court."

"Oh don't make me out to be so bad Jude. I always knew it was you who called at night, and I know it was your own little plan to drag Tommy away from me, calling him to the studio at all hours and stuff…"

"Oh I didn't have to drag Tommy anywhere, he came running from you Sadie, RUNNING. Neither of us can stand you! Don't you get that! You have changed into this completely different shell of a wanna be human! I look at you, and I don't even recognize you!" Jude sat down in the big chair across from both of them willing herself to calm down.

"So tell me little sister, tell me how this all started." Jude looked at her and Tommy and took a deep breath.

"Are you sure you wanna know, I mean I can spare you the gory details."

"No I want to know" she said in all seriousness.

"Well it was before I was 18, I guess I had just turned 17 and Tom and I , well we were closer than ever. We both wanted to be with each other really badly but he and I both knew it was wrong and that we should wait a year. Well…Tom couldn't wait, he couldn't wait for me, so he moved on to the next best thing…"

"Me" Sadie said.

"Yes you," Tommy told her, "I don't think I did it intentionally but than I found my self trying to compare the ways you were the same as your sister. I realized I still loved her, but I was too deep in it to break it off with you. I do care about you Sadie, and I'm sorry for how I used you…I used you to try and fill a void. Its not that you aren't as good as your sister, it's just that you're different people…"

"So Christmas when we all went skiing" Jude continued, "Tommy kissed me when I was playing the piano late one night. The rest is history."

They were all silent for a moment until Tom spoke up.

"Look Sadie, I'll leave you can stay here, we'll discuss this sanely tomorrow. Jude and I…we need to unpack." Sadie sat there on the couch almost as if she were in a daze.

"Ya sure, that's fine, I don't care…" she said. Jude looked at her sister and saw she was hurt. Maybe she had been too harsh with her.

"Tommy you go, I'll catch up with you ok?" He nodded and grabbed his bags and walked out the door. Jude plopped down next to Sadie on the couch and held her hand.

"Sade's look, I'm sorry about what I said was really mean and-" Sadie turned her head and looked at Jude.

"No Jude, don't be sorry, what you said was the truth. I've known it for a long time and I didn't care enough to change. I've always known Tom loved you, and I've always known he was looking for you in me…I just didn't want to admit it. I thought I could make him love ME if I was successful and pretty. But that didn't turn me into you…" Sadie wrapped her arms around her sister and whispered, "He was always what made you happiest, what made you shine…I'm sorry I wanted what you had."

Jude wiped away her tears and hugged her sister back. "There you are Sadie…the sister I've missed for so long…"
