Chapter 4: Plane Ride

When Jude opened her eyes to the booming alarm clock, she reached over Tommy to shut it off, and she didn't succeed. Tommy grabbed a hold of her arm and wouldn't let it go.

"Tommy, it's still dark outside." Jude groaned.

"I don't care Harrison we need to go." Tommy said getting up out if the bed and dragging Jude with him.

"Ugh." She moaned loudly. Tommy dragged her downstairs and into the kitchen. He sat her down in a chair while he made a pot of coffee for them. "At least I will be partially awake before we get on the plane."

"The cab will be here in about thirty minutes."

"Oh my god, this is a nightmare already." She groaned again. Jude hated being woken up before the sun was out, and she was going to make Tommy pay somehow but, she wasn't sure yet.

The coffee finished brewing and Jude poured a cup and then went upstairs to get dressed. When she came back downstairs, Tommy was ready to go, and she looked out the front door the cab was already there. She grabbed her bags and locked the door. Jude met Tommy at the cab with her bags and she put them in the trunk.

When they got to the airport, Jude was walking as slow as humanly possible. Mainly for two reasons one, because it wasn't light outside, and two she hadn't had enough coffee this morning. She was barely awake and she had to run to keep up with Tommy. They had checked everything at customs and she showed her passport and her license as proof of identity. When they got on the plane Jude was exhausted and she was glad now that everything was going to settle down.

"Tommy how long is the flight?" She asked when she sat down.

"Around nineteen hours."

"You're kidding me. This is going to take forever." She said before she laid her head on Tommy's shoulder and went back to sleep. Jude slept for what felt like hours, or at least to her it was. "Tommy what time is it?" She asked him but, she looked up and he was fast asleep. She looked at the watch on his wrist and she had slept for eleven hours. She was wide awake now, and she had barely anything to do.

Jude grabbed her carryon bag and she grabbed her iPod out and put it in. She turned it all the way up, and she grabbed her phone, and she had an unanswered text message from Jamie. She deleted it, and sent one to Sadie since she had absolutely no idea what Jude was up to. About an hour later after explaining everything to Sadie, Tommy woke up.

"How long have I been asleep?" He asked.

"I have no idea. I woke up an hour ago, and I have been texting Sadie, she says to tell you that if you hurt me she will kill you."

"Tell Sadie I said that won't be necessary." He said.

"She says to tell you that it probably will."

"Tell your sister that I am here to stay, and nothing bad is going to happen."

"Alright but, she is determined that you will break my heart again." She said to him. Tommy and Jude both knew that it wasn't a possibility but, they agreed with Sadie to keep her calm plus, they were about twelve thousand miles away from her now anyways. Jude out her phone, and he iPod up.

"See now nothing else will be said about it." Tommy said leaning into kiss her.

"See this is going to get us in a lot of trouble this summer." She said pulling away from him.

"How?" he asked, he leaned back into kiss her neck.

"Because, there are paparazzi cameras everywhere around us on this plane." She said. Tommy looked around and there were but, he truly didn't care about it now.

"Jude, look we are going to be public figures and there are going to be stories in the papers and tabloids that aren't true, can you handle it?"

"I think I can Quincy. Might I remind you that no to long ago Karma revealed my left boob to the entire world?" She said.

"I almost forgot about that but, I guess that you really want to remind me."

"Hey it's not like we were dating or anything."

"Yeah but, still you were my artist. Plus, I had feelings for you then too." He admitted.

"Hold on, how long have you had these feelings?" She asked him curiously.

"Try the day that I met you."

"You have to be kidding me, three years."

"Yeah, and I didn't want to jeopardize you're career because I had feeling for you."

"So you only took back that kiss on my sixteenth birthday because you didn't want to ruin my career?"

"Jude, back then I was in and out of the tabloids, and most of them were lies. I was put with a new girl almost every night, and I didn't want to trash your career as soon as it got started."

"I never saw that one coming."

"Yeah but, my feelings for you grew over time. At first I thought that it was a silly little crush and now I know it was wrong, it was love from the very first time that we even worked on a song together."

"Wow, I'm glad you finally admitted this Quincy." She said leaning into kiss him.

They quickly pulled apart and Jude was writing down lyrics for the rest of the flight. Tommy just watched her. He loved to watch her write, and compose. He just sta there in silence.

The flight ended and they got up to get off the plane. When they got into the airport Jude was amazed. She had never seen a place this beautiful before. She was happy she was here in this moment with him, and she knew that it was all worth it.
