Tommy quickly grabbed his suitcase off of the baggage claim and looked around for a familiar face. "Dude! Over Here!" Spied yelled to Tommy seeing as he was looking for him. Tommy had grown closer to Spied since Jude left, he hugged Spied. "Hey man. Does Jude know that you came to pick me up?" Spied stood beside Karma, "No. She is having lunch with Sadie." Tommy nodded his head and followed Spied and Karma toward their rental car.
Jude and Sadie were on their way back to her apartment, "Jude, cant we go to the store before we go home?" Jude looked at Sadie and nodded, "What do you need? I have everything that I know you like." Sadie shrugged, "I need to get some stomach medicine." Jude just smiled. Sadie knew about Tommy coming and their lunch had ended early.
Sadie walked down the medicine aisle as her phone rang, "Spied! Hey, is he there?" "Yeah. We are at the apartment." Sadie smiled and Jude came up to Sadie, scaring her Sadie jumped. "Sadie? Who are you talking to? And why are you smiling?" Sadie's smiled fell and she told spied that she had to go. "That was Spied and he was just wondering when we were coming back." Jude nodded a little unsure of Sadie's answer. Sadie nodded and smiled, "Oh here it is." Sadie grabbed a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.
"Do you think she will be happy that I am here?" Tommy was pacing back and forth. "Dude, don't be so nervous. Your pacing is making me dizzy." Karma and Spied watched Tommy; they had never seen him so nervous before. Not even when he proposed to Jude. Tommy stopped pacing when he heard a car door and then another, 'Here we go.'
Jude and Sadie made their way up to the apartment as Jude opened the door she stood stunned. Tommy was first to speak, "Hey." His voice was quiet and raspy. Jude couldn't process what she saw, she slowly walked over towards him and jumped into his arms.
Everyone watched as Jude wrapped her legs around Tommy. "I thought you weren't coming. Oh god. I missed you so much." Jude was whispering so only Tommy could hear her. "I missed you too. Sadie and Spied planned it out." Jude was still wrapped around Tommy when Eric walked in, "Hello." Eric cleared his throat and stood stunned at the sight. Jude lowered herself to the ground and walked over to Eric. "This is Tommy." Eric eyed Tommy and then said, "I have heard a lot about you." Tommy looked at Jude and she smiled.
Sadie and Jude stood in a private room at St. Margaret church. "Jude, you look beautiful. Are you ready?" Jude stood in a long white gown, "Oh my gosh. I can't believe this is happening." Jude had a pit in her stomach. "Sadie, what am I doing?" Sadie hugged her sister, "Jude. You are living your dream." Jude smiled, 'I am living my dream.'
Jude looked down to the end of the aisle and sighed, she saw Eric, 'The guy of my dreams. Then why does it feel so wrong?'
Jude now stood in front of Eric and the reverend. Eric saw the ring. He turned toward the reverend, "Excuse us for a moment." Everyone watched as he grabbed Jude's hand and pulled her to the side, "Jude, don't you think it is time to take off the necklace?" He pointed towards the necklace that hung on Jude's neck, Tommy's ring. "Why would I do that?" Jude asked confused that he was doing this during the wedding. "Because, WE are getting married. I can't have you going around with Little Tommy Q's ring around your neck." All of the wedding guests were now watching as the almost married couple fought. Jude was angry, "Eric! He is special to me. I told you that when you asked me to marry you. I love him! I thought you understood!" Jude was yelling and everyone looked over at Tommy who was looking at Sadie. "Yeah, I did, I mean I do. I just thought that after a while you would forget about him." Jude stood stunned. "Jude, I can't be your number two. I love you. But you can't let go of little Tommy Q. I will always be your number two. I can't marry you." Eric walked away. Jude was frozen. 'What? He is my number two?'
Sadie ran over to Jude and pulled her out of the church. "Sadie. I am not getting married. I was left at the altar." Jude was sitting on the front steps of the church. "Jude, you weren't happy with him. It is going to be okay."
Jude had not shed one tear after six hours of sitting there. "What the hell is going on?" She said aloud. Tommy sat down beside Jude. "Hey. It's getting late." Jude looked up at Tommy. "Hey. Yeah I know. I can't believe that I was going to get married. I didn't even love him. He cheated on me. He didn't know that I knew but I did. And I was still going to marry him. What the hell is wrong with me?" Jude let her head fall onto Tommy's chest, where he played with her hair.
