Blueberry Blue

Jude quickly ran out to her car, shielding herself from the rain. She started up her mustang and peeled out of the G-Major driveway. She saw Tommy pulling in, passing her as she pulled out. Tommy quickly stopped the car and motioned for Jude to roll down her window. She took a deep breath and did so.

Tommy tried to yell over the rain, what had just started as a light drizzle was quickly turning into a storm. "Jude! I'm sorry about this morning!"

"What?" Jude yelled back, she could barely make out his words.

"I'm sorry!!" He yelled louder. "Please don't do anything you'll regret!" He called out to her. He wasn't going to stop her if she wanted to end it, but he sure hoped she didn't.

Jude took a deep breath and leaned closer to the window. "I'm not ending anything, Tommy. But I need to think for awhile. I'll be home later."

Tommy looked down and nodded. Jude quickly rolled her window back up to stop anymore moisture from plotting itself on her lap and continued down the road to Sadie's place.

Jude knocked lightly and gave Sadie a light smile when she opened it. Sadie pulled Jude into a hug and smiled. "Jude! I feel like I haven't seen you in so long!"

Jude smiled slightly, "Yeah, sorry I've been kind of hard to get a hold of since…well…" Sadie nodded and smoothed out her sister's hair as she led her into the living room.

Jude plopped on the couch and Sadie sat elegantly in the chair. "How've you been?"

Jude shrugged, "Not that you'd know Sadie, but I just feel like I lost someone I loved. That's it. That's all I feel."

Sadie knew that she should have felt pity toward her little sister but that first comment made her cringe. "What do you mean, 'not that I would know?'"

Jude sighed, "Sadie, I didn't mean it like that. All I meant was that out of the share of losses we've gone through, I think I got more than my fair share."

Sadie rolled her eyes, "I've lost just as many people as you have Jude."

Jude rolled her eyes, "Please Sadie, when Grandpa died, I was the one that was close to him. When Patsy died, you hated her. When Reid died, why would you care? You hated everyone in that gang and what they stood for."

Sadie looked positively pissed now. "I never hated that gang! I never cared about what they stood for!! How can you just make snap judgments like that?!"

Jude reeled back, shocked. "I-I'm sorry Sadie. I just thought-"

"Well you thought wrong." Sadie huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. Jude leaned forward and took Sadie's clenched hands into her smooth ones. "Sadie, I need your help. Like, desperately."

Sadie saw the pain in her little sister's eyes and sighed. She leaned forward as well and smoothed down her baby sister's hair. "What's going on Jude?"

Jude took a deep breath. "Tommy is feeling neglected and John is becoming more open and forward about his feelings. I don't know what to do."

Sadie pulled back and crossed her arms again. "Lets face it Jude; John should always be your number one. And rightfully earned I think. He was cheated out of that one place in your heart, though."

Jude looked down, ashamed. "I know…it's just that…"

Sadie stopped her, "Look, we all know that Tommy is something special for you. Like he's some prize that you worked hard to get and you don't want to let go. But John, he'll take care of you in ways that you could only hope and pray that Tommy will do, forever."

This time Jude pulled back. She opened her mouth to defend her relationship with Tommy but Sadie stopped her, "What makes Tommy so special to you anyway?"

"Tommy's different, he's just Tommy. I can label John to be so many things to me. My first time, my first crush, my first love, my first heartbreak, all in one. But Tommy, he's just Tommy, and that's enough."

Sadie rolled her eyes, "He's just a prize Jude, admit it and do what's right."

This time Jude was reeling, "He is not a prize!! That's all he was to you Sadie! You just proved that you could do whatever the hell you wanted and get it too! You finally got to reel in lil Tommy Q from Boyz Attack! Well let me tell you something. You are a bitter person Sadie, all because you say lil Tommy Q cheated on you. But he isn't lil Tommy Q anymore! He is Tom Quincy, a person you used! A person who grew out of the playboy lifestyle and a person who never cheated on you. He told me so."

By the time she had finished her speech; Jude was standing over Sadie and pointing a finger in her face. Sadie was just staring up at her sister, eyes wide.

"He didn't cheat on me?"

Jude pulled herself back and calmly counted to ten and then looked over at Sadie. "No, he didn't." She said softly.

Suddenly Sadie got up and slapped, backhanded, Jude across the face. Jude, shocked, flew back onto the couch. She quickly recovered and put a hand to her flaming cheek and looked up at her sister, "What the hell?"

"How long have you known?! Why didn't you tell me?!" Jude could see the tears building up in her sister's eyes and became worried. "I figured you wouldn't listen to me, you didn't listen to him, so why me?"

Sadie just stood there. She was so angry. Jude had stole Tommy from her. The guy she loved and envied, stolen.

Suddenly. She was pissed.

Sadie snapped her eyes shut and searched her brain for anything that could hurt Jude. Anything to throw in her face about her and Tommy.

"I needed an abortion!"

Jude, who had finally got herself standing, fell back onto the couch again.

"What?" She asked in a small voice.

Sadie took a deep breath, "I was pregnant. When I found out Tommy cheated on me there was no way in hell I was going to ask for his help and I couldn't handle it alone. Mom had just left and Dad was being an ass, so all I had was you. And I knew how you felt about Tommy and I didn't want to ruin it for you."

Jude brought a hand up to her mouth as she gasped and everything seemed to fall into place.

"Sadie, I am so…"

Sadie shook her head and just pointed to the door. Jude slowly stood and walked toward the front door, no questions asked. She knew what she needed to do now.

John was walking to G-Major, document in hand. He wasn't looking where he was going and accidentally walked into someone. Both of them fell to the floor. John quickly sprung up and apologized.

Tommy stood and eyed John, "Hey, sorry about that man."

Tommy shook his head in acceptance. He quickly looked around, "Hey, have you seen Jude?"

John looked at Tommy for a minute before answering. "Yeah, she was here earlier. She was talking about some Romeo and Juliet crap that I didn't really follow and then she said she needed to see Sadie."

Tommy shook his head, "Yeah, um…was she here after that?"

John shook his head, "Not that I know of. I haven't seen her."

Tommy nodded and turned to walk back to his car, "Thanks, and if you happen to see her can you ask her to come home so I can talk to her?"

John nodded, still a little absent. "Yeah sure."

Tommy nodded, "Thanks man." John just waved as Tommy pulled away before looking back at the document.

"Reid, what have you done?" He mumbled to himself.

Sitting in front of him was a marriage certificate. Between Reid Andrew and Sadie Ann. Witnesses were Paul Harrison and Reid's brother, Anthony. There was also a stamp on the top, "Annulment Unobtainable."

'Sadie and Reid got married. I need to talk to Anthony.' John thought to himself. 'Why the hell would they do that?' he couldn't help but wonder.
