Hey guys ! sitOra here :) want to thank those who reviewed. Here's chapter 2 :)

Last Time:

Jude Harrison's new Hit single "Listen" Ladies & Gentleman. Whoever that's for - ouch. But you were a great burst of inspiration to Miss Harrison I see. Stay Tuned we'll be back after this commercial break."

Tommy just stood there in shock . . . Realizing just now, how much he hurt her.

And now onto the fanfic :)

Right when he heard that song he knew he had to call her, he had to hear her voice, he had to fix this mess and he had to fix it now, but he couldn't just call her out of the blue. What was he going to say anyway?

"Oh hi Jude, I just heard your latest single, "Listen" and I decided to call."?

He doubted that very much.

You have to call her Quincy. He kept telling himself. You have to make sure she's okay, even if she doesn't want to talk to you. You owe her that much.

Soon he began arguing with himself.

What if she just yells and hangs up?

She can't do that to you if she loves you as much as she says she does

She doesn't even say it anymore . . . all the songs I've heard were all heartbroken

Well what do you expect?

Am I arguing with my conscience?

Yes you are.

But what can I do? She's going to hate me.

You'll never know unless you try, and if she does, give it time.

You can't make this easy can you?

No you can't.

What do you mean 'you' can't?

I'm you, duh!

He stopped thinking. "I need to stop arguing with that thing." He said out loud.

He got the charger to his phone and turned it on after what seemed like months. Seemed like months? It has been months. It took a while for the battery to charge and everything to update. Too bad cell phones don't tell you how many missed calls you had. He thought silently.

Shortly after it charged, it began to ring to 'Pick up the pieces'. He ran to the phone in hopes of Jude calling him. Maybe she hadn't given up on him just yet? Remembering the phone took long to update itself, it only rang indicating he had 2 voicemails.

"I shut my phone off for god knows how many months, and I only have 2 voicemails? Goes to show how much I'm loved." He said, as he listened to them. They were both from Jude.

VM1: Hey Tommy. It's Jude. Looks like your phones off . . . again. Gosh Tommy do you know how many times I've tried to call you? Are you ever going to turn this thing back on? . . . There was a silence for a brief second, Tommy looked at the phone to make sure it was still connected. The Voicemail continued. Why'd you leave me Quincy? You left when we needed you the most . . . It's already been eight months, the baby's due soon. Her name is Arianna, Yeah it's a girl. She sounded like she was crying. Look I don't get why you ran . . . the press? We could have worked that out and you know it . . . There has to be something more . . . what is it that you aren't telling me? Damn it Tommy you have no idea what you're putting me through, Sleepless nights, even worse days, my thoughts just dwell on you and where you are . . . If you're okay, If you're alive . . . Can't you just call me and tell me that your somewhere in the world? And not dead? . . . Alright well I have to go now . . . I don't want to make this very long.

The voicemail ended. He listened to the other one.

VM2: It's about five months after I left you that last voicemail, and your phones still off. I guess you haven't turned it on, I doubt you know anything about your child too, I wonder if you even watch the News. Yeah the press knows I have a child, they just don't know it's yours. I basically saved our asses Tommy. The least you can do is give me a call! It's been over a year already. Arianna's six months old, she needs a father. Tommy look, I can't say I'm happy, but I'm not mad either. I just need something, anything, I need to hear your side of this, I'll give you that fair chance. Please. Just call me.

The voicemail ended. He dialed Jude's number.

At GMajor.

Jude's phone lit up with the picture of Tommy. She ran into the bathroom and locked herself in.

"Tommy?!" Jude was breathing heavily.

"Hey Girl." He replied.

"Tommy thank god you're okay. You scared me half to death."

"I'm sorry girl . . . I needed to think."

Jude's mood shifted.

"For over a year?" She asked sternly.

He could hear the change in her voice.

" . . . I'm sorry Jude."

"Sorry can't cut it Tommy!" She yelled.

"SHH! I don't want anyone to know you're talking to me."

"And why not?"

"Because I'm not coming back just yet."

"But you're coming back?"

"Yes. Just not now."

"When?"

"March 3rd."

". . . Well then. I guess I'll see you the 3rd then."

"Jude, Can we talk at least?"

"No Tommy, We can talk in person. In Three days."

"Why not here?"

"Because you'll frustrate me and I'll either break the phone or just hang up."

Tommy stood silent.

"Hows ---"

Jude cut him off.

"Arianna is fine. You'll see her after this is sorted out."

"Alright." He sighed.

There was silence on the phone.

"Alright well --"

Tommy cut her off.

"Hey Jude?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

Jude stood silent.

"I love you too." She said with a tear filled voice, and Tommy could hear it. She hung up the phone.

Back in Montana

Tommy was happy. She may have been mad, but before her mood shifted, he saw a side of Jude he hadn't seen before. She actually gave him a chance to talk - well barely. But it was a start . . . Wasn't it?

Tommy began packing his bags. It may have been three days, but he felt that the sooner he packed, the closer he felt to Jude, and just in 72 hours, he would be hugging and kissing her hello. He was going to fix this, and then after that, he wasn't going to screw anything up.

At Jude's house.

Jude was thinking again, and when she thought, that wasn't always good.

She had been doing fine without him for 18 months and now he just called out of nowhere, and he was coming back in three days. Three days. It seemed like such a short time, hell it was a short time.

Jude just sat there, back on the porch she was on the day before. From the angle she sat at she had a clear view of Arianna. She smiled to herself as she got up to check on her. She found her peacefully asleep in her crib.

Look at what a miracle we created Tommy. She thought to herself. This is our creation . . . I just hope we can put everything in the past behind us, all the bad things, just remember the good moments, I know I want to, and for the sake of Arianna . . . well that just makes me want to fix this even more.

She laid down on her bed and drowned herself in her thoughts.

She looked at the clock. It read "4:37AM"

"Only two more days." She mumbled to herself before drifting off to sleep.

Well theres chapter 1 :) please R&R ! thanks ! sitOra (chapter 2 will be up sometime this week)
