It went like that for months. Tommy would sleep on Pyra's sofa, and then return to the hospital, watching over Jude. He often came in and sat over her. One Friday night he was interrupted from his daydreams of Jude by a soft knock on the door.

"Tommy?" Sadie stood there in humility and grace with tears streaming down her face.

"Sadie." Tommy stated it. It wasn't a question, nor was it forgiveness "Let's go get some coffee."

Sadie followed him silently as he walked with her to the hospital cafeteria. The bleak walls reflected his pale coloring, and Sadie's hollowed out eyes. When they sat, steaming coffee in hand, Tommy started to speak but Sadie interrupted sharply.

"Look Tommy, just let me talk first okay? I know I've done a rotten thing to Jude, but you don't even mean that much to me. She's always been better more famous more special. And I'm always second wheel. I just wanted to hurt her."

"Well you succeeded. Sadie, I'm not the one to apologize to. You're going to have to deal with your demons and deal with your sister." Sadie nodded solemnly, and swallowed back some tears. Tommy nodded his head for her to come with him, and she stood and followed him back to the room. Jude's doctor was just leaving and pulled Tommy aside as Sadie went in to speak with Jude.

"She's doing much better; I'm running some tests to see if she can go home. Chances are is she's in remission. The results will be back in a few hours." Tommy nodded quickly, his thoughts racing from those of fear and of jubilation. He waited patiently in the hallway until Sadie emerged from Jude's room. Her eyes were bloodshot from tears but all in all she looked much more at peace.

"I'm sorry Tommy. You deserve her." She laughed calmly and left the hospital with a soft smile on her face. Tommy entered Jude's room cautiously. She was propped up and staring past the flowers lining her window to a small sunny spot outside.

"Beautiful isn't it?" She asked when she felt Tommy's presence in the room.

"Yeah" he whispered although he wasn't even looking at the same view. Jude had a healthy glow to her now. She was gaining back her lost weight and her eyes had more of a sparkle now than they did before. When she went through Chemo she had cut her hair off because she couldn't stand the sight of it falling out onto her pillow. It was now in a spiky cut that made her pale face look even more elfin-like. When their eyes connected he smiled at the familiar spark that shot through him like a hot bullet. He sat next to her and laced his hand through hers and petted her soft hair. The doctor walked in and they both shot their eyes towards him expectantly.

"I have news. Jude is officially… in remission." Tommy's heart leapt joyously at this statement. The doctor prattled on about how she was able to go home but Jude and Tommy never let their eyes drop from one another. They were in a world of their own.

One Year Later.

Tommy stood nervously at the altar and awaited the musical cue. Everyone was around him. His friends, Pyra, Dani, Sadie. Everyone. But they weren't important now. No the only one who was important to him was Jude. He swore to himself that he'd never get that close to losing her ever again. And then the music started. He saw his angel, Jude walking down the aisle, accompanied by her father. Her hair was down to her shoulders again and a long rich hazel color now. The minister proceeded through the ceremony but all Tommy could think of was how beautiful she was. He waited for the words "I do" to be spoken and they looked at each other lost in their own world as usual. I love you Tommy mouthed slowly I love you too Jude mouthed as well.

"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride." The preacher looked expectantly at Tommy. As if he needed any more reason to kiss her than that. He took her into his arms and kissed her passionately. Whatever words were being said were drowned out by their own fireworks. He knew that no matter what, everything would be okay if he just held her in his arms.
