A/N: Sorry for the long wait guys, computer problems. Anyway, enjoy and please review!

The next morning Sean came over again.

"Hi," he said as she answered the door. She didn't answer so he went on. "Can I come in?" Still she just stared at him not knowing what to say that wouldn't sound stupid. "Uh Lauren, look I…"

"Who's Lauren? I thought I was just Jude Harrison who is apparently still in love with Little Tommy Q. From Boyz Attack and has no life whatsoever," she said as he sighed.

"Lauren, I mean Jude, I'm sorry I went off on you like that yesterday. I didn't mean…I know I don't really know happened back then between the two of you, but I do know that I still really do love you." Jude let a breath out as she let him in.

"I'm sorry too," she said as she closed the door and turned to talk to him. "But maybe you were right."

"What?" he said as she sat on the sofa next to him.

"You're right," she said as he looked at her with a serious face. "I thought about what you said yesterday all night and I've come to a conclusion." She took a deep breath before continuing. "I think…I know that I never actually moved on from Tommy. So when I and you got together I thought that this would help me finally move on. But I guess I was wrong."

"So wait," he thought for a second. "So really you were just using me?"

"No!" she said as she grabbed his hand. "I really like you Sean. I think you're a great guy. But I just don't like you the way you like me." Sean sighed as and pulled his hand out of her grasp.

"I have to go. I'm late for work."

"I'm really sorry Sean," she said as he stood up.

"Just…just be careful with Quincy. He's hurt a lot of people before," he said as he left. 'It was for the best,' she thought to herself as she tried not to cry.

-------------------------------------------

A little later that day Jude went out to the corner store a few blocks from her little house. As she was walking through the parking lot she bumped into someone. They both fell over. When she looked up she saw a familiar face.

"Sadie?" Jude said as she stood up.

"Jude!" she said as she helped her up.

"What are you…?" Sadie hugged her and stopped her mid sentence.

"I was just going over to you're house for a visit since you sent me your address."

"Wow I can't…" Jude hugged her sister again.

"So are you busy today? Please say no." Sadie said as she looked over her sister. "I was thinking maybe we could spend the day together and catch up, after all it's been 5 years. By the way I love your new look. You look great as a brunette."

"Oh thanks," she said unconsciously touching her hair. "Um, I'm kind of busy right now, but we could go out for lunch if you want."

"Ok that sounds great! What do you recommend around here?"

"There's this great little café not too far from here."

"Do you mean The Lucky Café?"

"Yeah, have you been there already?"

"I was thinking about it but…"

"Ok well then we can have lunch there and catch up and stuff."

"Alright so how about 12:00?"

"That sounds perfect. That gives me just enough time to do what I had planned."

"So then I won't keep you if you're really, really busy. I mean if you can't spend just one whole day with your sister you haven't seen in 5 years but…"

"Sadie," Jude said as she crossed her arms.

"Ok, alright. See you then," she said as she hugged her sister one last time before she ran off. Jude rolled her eyes as she went into the store. 'Same old Sadie,' she thought to herself as she grabbed what she wanted off the shelf.

Jude was in and out of the store in less than 5 minutes. She rushed back home and went straight to work on her new image.

-------------------------------------------

Jude looked in the mirror with a smile. It was prefect, exactly how she had imagined it. She looked over at her clock and saw that it was almost 12 already. She grabbed her keys and headed out the door.

She arrived at the café just as Sadie arrived too. She parked her car and went out to meet her. Sadie smiled widely as she saw her sister approaching.

"So that's what you were so busy with," she said as Jude stood in front of her.

"Do you like it?" she said running her fingers through her new black hair.

"Yeah I do! It gives you a sort of edge. I like that look on you. It fits you well."

"Thanks," she said as the two sisters linked arms and walked into the café.

They sat at a table on the outside patio. For a while they just made small talk. Then Sadie asked the most anticipated question.

"Um, Jude?" Sadie started out carefully. Jude looked up at her sister.

"What?" she said carelessly.

"Um…okay I have to ask you. Why did you leave the way you did?" Jude stared at her sister. "I know you probably don't want to talk about it, but I need to know. We all miss you so much and Tommy…"

"Sadie please just stop," Jude said calmly. Her sister looked at her with concern. "I've already made up my mind. I'm not going back, ever. And as for why I left…" she shook her head.

"Look I know this may be hard," Sadie said as she reached across the table and grabbed Jude's hand. "But you need to come back. You've been gone away from home long enough. I don't care why you left but Jude," Sadie stared at her sister, "Tommy's a wreck without you." That was it. She had hit a nerve.

"Why should I care what the hell is wrong with him!" she yelled as she stood up. "I don't care anymore and this is my home now!"

"Ok I see that you are mad at him and all but…"

"But nothing! And don't tell me that I should forgive and forget everything that he did to me because I can't, and I've tried," she said as she began to walk away.

"Jude just wait a second!" Sadie called as she threw some money on the table and chased after her. "I'm not telling you to forgive him! But either way I have to tell you something!" Jude stopped for a second.

"What is it? What could you possibly say that would change my mind about going back or anything else?!" she screamed at her sister as tears began to fall from her eyes.

"Jude, he still loves you." Jude stood there listening to her sister closely. "And from what I see you still love him too."

"But that's where you're wrong," she said with a serious voice. "I don't still love him. I never will love him again."

"Jude don't lie to yourself like that. You know as well as I that…"

"Goodbye Sadie," Jude said as she got in her car and drove away.

Jude drove up to her house without noticing the familiar blue viper across the street. She was almost to the door when she looked up and saw him sitting on her front steps.

"Jude," he said as she stood frozen to the spot.
