Flashback
That night five and a half months ago was possibly one of her worst days ever. Jude had just gotten home from the studio. She walked in the door and threw her keys and jacket onto the counter. "Tommy, I'm home!" There was no answer. "That's strange," Jude thought. Usually Tommy was waiting for her at the door when she got home. Jude wandered through the house. He wasn't in the kitchen, or their in-home studio, or the living room. She even checked the bathroom, but he wasn't there. So she went to the only place she hadn't checked yet, their bedroom.
As she got closer to the bedroom door, she heard noises. Curiously she opened the door, only to find Tommy on top of some silicone Barbie, with his lips planted on hers. Tommy didn't even notice Jude until she spoke up. "How could you Tommy?" Jude remembered it so clearly; Tommy snapped his head towards Jude so fast, Jude was surprised he didn't break his neck. "Jude, its not what it looks like!" "You care to explain why your on top of that silicone slut over there then Tommy?" "Jude. I, uh, I mean, she's uh –" Tommy was cut off by Jude. "Yea that's what I thought. Don't expect to see me anytime soon. By this time tomorrow, I'll be gone." "But Jude it didn't mean anything!" "Yea right Quincy. You had your chance, and it's game over for you." Jude stormed out of her room, and back out to her car, never looking back.
Jude remembers going over to Sadie's house after her confrontation with Tommy. "He cheated on me Sadie! In our bed of all places!" Jude sobbed. "I just don't know what I'm going to do!" "Maybe you should take a break, go on a vacation. We all know you need one Jude." Sadie said. "You know what? That's just what I'm going to do. I want to go to Rome. You know I have always wanted to go there!" Jude exclaimed, happy that she had control of at least something in her life. "Great! I'll go and see when the next available flight is, and book it for you. You go and pack. I'll be up to help when I'm done." Three hours later Jude was packed and ready to go. "So how long am I gone for Sadie?" Jude asked as the two walked out to the taxi was waiting. "Well I made your ticket for six months, just in case. I didn't know how long you wanted to be gone for. But you know you can come back at anytime before that if you feel you're ready." "Thanks Sadie! You don't know how much I love you!" Jude turned and gave her sister a hug. "Hey Sadie, could you do me a favor, and not tell Tommy where I'm at? I don't want him coming after me. I just need some time to think." "Yea, you bet Jude. My lips are sealed." And with that Jude hopped into the taxi and headed for the airport.
End Flashback
The last five and a half months in Rome have been some of the best days of her life. She felt so carefree, yet she constantly found herself thinking about him. And she managed not to answer his calls or reply to any of his texts, but still she couldn't get the way he looked into her eyes, the way he held her, and most importantly, the way he kissed her, out of her mind. There was so much passion in those kisses. How could he have cheated on her?
Jude strolled around looking at various shops as she usually did. Today though, she found this cute little music shop that she hadn't seen before. "That's weird. I've been here five, almost six months and haven't noticed this place? " Jude walked through the door only to hear her song "White Lines." It was definitely her song. It had the same melody and everything, except for it was being sung in Italian. But now that Jude had walked into the store and heard her song that she had written for Tommy, she just wanted to go back to the nice house she had rented and think or maybe even write a song.
Several hours and what seemed like eighty pieces of paper later, Jude was done writing. She put down her journal, and laid on her bed thinking. "Wow I'm going to have a lot to record when I get back. Im going to have to talk to Darius so I can have a new producer. I don't want Tommy to produce me ever again. Not after what he did to me."
