Chapter 9

Get Over It

A/N: Okay, so I feel that I've make my point with this story, there for this is the end of it. This will bet the last chapter…Oh, yeah, and the title/song belongs to Avril Lavigne.

5 Years Later

Jude smiled as the little girl walked into the room, Tommy slowly following behind her. She stumbled forward, catching herself on Jude's knees.

"YOU WALKED!!!" She lifted the baby and smiled. Tommy smiled, touching the 8 month olds' head, and kissed Jude's.

"We never got this…" He smiled.

"And now we do…" She smiled and kissed him.

"Mom? Dad? Is anyone home?" Jen walked in with Kacee, her 5 year old. She was soon followed by Jeff and the Tom and Bethany. (Yes, Tom had finally settled down. They were both only 22 and married.) A very pregnant Bethany walked in and sat down in the nearest chair. Tom followed closely behind.

"So, did you have fun on tour?"

"Well, besides Beth hogging the bathroom for 2 hours every morning, it was great!"

"Hey!" Jude lightly hit Jen's arm. "The entire time I was pregnant with you and your brother I was throwing up!"

"Yeah, I know…I ended up doing the something with Kacee…remember?"

"You bet I do…We played mommy and daddy while you finished high school…"

"Hey, I'm sorry…"

"Hey, she married the guy who did it to her…shouldn't that be good enough?"

"I don't know…should it?" Jude smiled. The baby in her arms fussed a little.

"Oh, Tom, she's hungry." Tommy nodded.

"Why should I care?"

"I was talking to your father, smartass." She smiled as Tommy grabbed a bottle of milk from the fridge and handed it to her.

"So, do you have your single done?" Jen looked at Jude.

"Yep…do you want to hear it?"

"Sure…Lets go up to the studio." They all stood and walked out of the room.

"This is Get Over It…

"Get Over It"

"Slipping down a slide
I did enjoy the ride
Don't know what to decide
You lied to me
You looked me in the eye
It took me by surprise
Now are you gratified
You cried to me"

She looked up at Tom and smiled. She rarely called him Tommy anymore. Tommy was childish…and he was the love of her life…Well that, and the fact that he'd matured soooo much in the last few years…And he let her know it…Damn, did he love her…Even after all the time that they'd be separated…He didn't stop at anything to show her that he loved her or that he wanted to live happily for the next 50 or 60 years…


"La, la, la, la, la"

"Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of your face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad"

She thought about all the fights they had. That's what had sparked this song…When she got pregnant, they'd had yet another fight…Instead of writing something like Starts With Goodbye, she'd decided to write this song…Of course, for a while, she didn't want to release it because they'd quickly forgiven each other…For the baby she'd said that day…but it was for them too…


"It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it"

She was sitting in the studio when she was writing the second half of the song…Remembering everything Jamie had done to her. She'd told him that before he'd been killed, (The news had never covered that she'd been the one who did it. She'd shot him in self defense…There were witnesses…) he'd come after her several times. At that time, she didn't remember him, making each time her hurt her even worse…But now he was gone… She'd writing this half with Tom after telling him.


"When I was feeling down
You'd start to hang around
And then I found your hands all over me
And that was out of bounds
You filthy rotten hound
It's badder than it sounds, believe me"

And it was worse than it sounded. She prayed that Jen and Tom never had to hear what had happened and if they did, that they'd understand…It'd taken 2 years to get Jen to trust her again…She didn't want to lose that again…

"La, la, la, la, la, la…"

That's where she was every night, lying with Tom and Greta, their 8 month old. In la-la land. Yes, she could still get lost in those deep blue eyes. And sometimes it killed he that she could, because it was usually when she didn't want to love him…When they were fighting…And she felt rotten for wanting to not want to love him, but she couldn't change the past….And thank god when he'd had the chance, he didn't try…THAT would have killed her…She knew everything he'd seen heard and done…

She even knew of the cutting they would have done, had she not done Instant Star

"Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of your face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad
It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it…"

She looked up from her guitar and gave the scaring painful look that she and he had shared with each other so many times. And it still hurt him even though he knew it wasn't for him. It was for Jamie…and for the baby they'd lost….And for the 3 months that he refused to talk to Jen…and when he'd gone over the side of G Major…she was so scared she'd lost him…

"Hey, you gotta get over it
Hey, you gotta get over it…"

How many times could a guy lie on the witness stand…That was one of her questions. No doubt about it that Jamie had done it countless times…He'd done it so many times that it killed her…And the only person who had been able to bring her back was Tommy. She wasn't afraid to admit that she'd been a shell of herself when she'd returned to Toronto 6 years earlier…It scared her when she came back that she'd be too breakable to even face Tom… "It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it…"

Tommy stared at her, knowing she was deep in thought and wondered what she was thinking…sometime her thoughts got the best of her, and it could get him into trouble…

"Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of your face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad…"

He stared at the little girl in his arms and smiled. He'd told Jude that she'd named the baby girl in the "Alternate universe", Greta. And Jude fell in love with it…She'd never really thought about the name before…But now…Now was a different story…


"Don't turn around
I'm sick and I'm tired of your face
Don't make this worse
You've already gone and got me mad
It's too bad I'm not sad
It's casting over
It's just one of those things
You'll have to get over it…"

He loved Greta…Her name, her face, her smell…everything about her reminded him of Jude, and made him miss her when she wasn't around…It made him miss her a lot…But mostly when he didn't know where she was…That's when it scared the hell out of him…


"You'll have to get over it…"

She walked back into the mixing booth as Tommy pushed stop on the soundboard as Jude walked back into the room.

"Wow…what was all that about…"

"Everything…It was the perfect song to get over it all…" She took Greta, who shoved her index finger in Jude's mouth. They all giggled.

"mama…"

"Awww!!!" They all giggled even more and Tommy stood, touching the back of her head.

"What did you say, Gret?"

"Mama…dada…" She smiled, knowing she'd done something right…

Jude smiled, wanting to hear it again.

"Greta, who are we?"

"Mama…dada…"

Sadie and Liam walked in.

"What did she say!?"

"She just said Mama and dada!!!" Jude said excitedly to her sister.

"That's great…Greta's so beautiful…"

"Yeah…just like her mother…" Tommy smiled.

"Don't you ever get over yourself when it comes to her?"

"No…I love her too much…" He smiled and kissed her again…

Final Comment From Tom:

So obviously we had a few more bumps in the road…But Greta grew up with both of us…

Here's how it ended for everyone:

Tommy died at the age of 100 after battling and surviving Leukemia when he was 88, he survived another 11 years.

Jude died at 93, several days after Tommy of natural causes.

Jen and Jeff stayed married and had two more kids after Kacee: Bazil, and Tyler. They both lived to be 89.

Tom and Bethany both lived until they were 65. They died in a car accident, and left their twins, Taylor and Jessica.

A/N: Okay guys, I might actually do a final story later of the death of Tom and Jude, considering their deaths are literally days apart…anyway, I hope you enjoyed. I plan to have a new story up later today, so look for it!
