Chapter 5: Nothing Left

"I want to be on the next flight out of here." I said walking in the bedroom and packing.

"Jude-" he tried to say.

"Look, I just want to go home and fix everything alright." I continued packing and he started. When we finished we went and packed everything into the car, and we were on our way to the airport. We got to the airport and bought the tickets.

The flight left in ten minutes and I didn't speak to him at all. He tried to talk to me but, I shut him out. When they called for final boarding call I got up and gave the stewardess my boarding pass and I walked onto the plane. Jamie followed me and I sat in the window seat and I put my iPod on and I went to sleep. I slept the entire flight home.

I woke up when we landed and I took off my iPod and I grabbed my bag and walked off the plane to the baggage claim. I got my bags and waited for Jamie to get his and then I walked to the parking garage and he unlocked the car and put our stuff in. It was a thirteen hour flight and I slept the entire way.

When we got to the apartment I was still giving him the cold shoulder. He left for work right when he unpacked and I decided to do a little work myself. I called Tommy and left him a voicemail saying that I was at my place and safe. He called about four hours later saying that Jessica went to Melissa's house with Alana and he was on his way to see me. It was four thirty and I wanted my plan in motion by nine o'clock that night.

I was sitting on my couch with Tommy and I finally decided to tell him my plan.

"Alright, I have a plan. We need a place together, we need to look for one before Jamie get's home because I want my stuff out of here by nine o'clock." I said.

"Alright we need to get working." Tommy said when the phone rang. I answered it and it was Jamie. He was telling me that he was pulling an all nighter at the studio. I walked back over to Tommy. "Who was that?" he asked me.

"Jamie, he is working all night. So that means when he walks in here tomorrow morning I will be gone and all that will be left is divorce papers." I said.

"Okay, so you're sure about this. You want a place with me and Jessica?"

"Yes, I am." I said, I had never been more sure of anything in my life. I was ready for the next chapter and I wanted nothing left with my life with Jamie.

"Alright, house or penthouse?"

"Let's look at a house because I know neighbors won't appreciate screaming teenagers and recording."

"Right, let's go now." He said tugging me out the door.

We had seen four places already and they weren't right. I was getting restless and I was tired of it. We still had two more places before I called it quits. We walked into the last house and I was gorgeous. I was in love. It was perfect for all of us. It had six bedroom, a huge walkin attic, every room had it's own bathroom, and a finished basement that was already soundproof. I made up my mind and Tommy agreed with me.

It was six o'clock and movers were already moving my stuff out of mine and Jamie's apartment. There was really nothing that I was taking with me but, the recording studio, my movies, books, and c.d.'s and my clothes. The rest of it he could have, I didn't care about it.

After they dropped my stuff off they went to Tommy's and Jessica left school early claiming to be sick along with Alana and Melissa. They went back to Tommy's and they packed the entire apartment. By the time the movers got there the only things that needed moving was the furniture.

All three of them had cars and they packed everything they could in their cars which was everything and they followed us to the house. Jessica immediately loved it. She took her stuff and she want to her room to direct the movers and then she started unpacking her stuff. It was almost midnight and I didn't want to leave but, I had to.

While the movers were moving Tommy's stuff I went to my attorney's office ad filed for divorce. He expedited everything and gave me the papers within the next hour. I was at Jamie's apartment by four a.m. and I was exhausted. Jamie walked in around six a.m. and I did what I had to do.

"Jude, what's going on?" He asked me. His shirt was un-tucked and he had a lipstick smear on the collar.

"Read this." I said handing him the papers. I watched his face, and he got pissed.

"You don't believe in divorce." He said angrily.

"Well you made me change my mind. You cheated on me with Kat of all people. If you didn't want to be married to me then you should have said something." I spat.

"Jude, I love you." He said with tears forming in his eyes.

"I don't care Andrews. I don't love you anymore." I said.

"You're going back to him aren't you?"

"So what if I am, at least he loves me and he would never cheat on me." I hissed.

"Jude please, I'm begging you don't do this." He said.

"It's too late. I already signed them. Here's the key and a pen." I said.

"Jude-"

"No, Jamie I have lied to myself and I forced myself to love you and I hate myself for it, and it made me hate you." I said. I heard a knock at the door and Tommy came in.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Little Tommy Q trying to be the night in shining armor."

"Shut up Jamie." I said walking over to Tommy. I kissed him on the lips hard.

"I can't believe you're doing this."

"I made the wrong choice ten years ago, I should have gone after Tommy when he left instead of staying here, and I didn't. I lied to myself and I am sick of it." I said.

"Fine, but this isn't over." He said. He signed the papers and I walked out. I was so happy to be free of him. I felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. I was now finally able to be happy. I looked into Tommy's eyes and I knew everything would be fine.

This time I made the right choice, and I knew it. I should've listened to my heart and my head ten years ago when they both agreed and I should have followed Tommy. Now, I know that it was the right choice. He gave up everything to be with me and I let him go. That wasn't going to happen this time.
