Chapter 3: Whatever It Takes To Make Him Stay

I grabbed the c.d. out of the player and I pit it back in its case. I read the letter that was inside the envelope and I cried for the first time in forever.

Dear Jude,

I know what you must be thinking, at least I said goodbye this time, huh. I can't stay at G-Major anymore it's become to complicated for the both of us. Neither of us can work together without electric sparks or almost flames anymore. I love you more than anything in this word Jude Elizabeth Harrison and I don't want to see you hurt.

I left because of Hunter. I put you in danger, hell I put your life and danger and I didn't want that. Hen Hunter came to your party he threatened to kill you Jude. That is why I publicly embarrassed you. I was trying to save your life. I have never been selfish when it come to you.

I love you with my entire heart, body and soul. I would stay here if I knew that you would be safe. I'm going back home to Italy to visit my sister Amy, and my brother Aiden. They really need me right now and I want to give this thing time to blow over. I hope you can understand this; I am doing what's right for you. I hope that you know that.

You're my girl and no one else's. I don't ever want that to change. Jude I hope you get why I left, and don't you dare blame yourself. I would give up my life for you if it meant that I could watch you live. I would stay if I knew that it would protect you. But, it won't.

You were right about what you said. I do sometimes think of myself whether you want to admit it or not. I am the wrong guy for you but, I think I am in the same way. I'm leaving you this, my entire heart. I'm sealing it and l am giving it all away to you.

I love you Always and Forever 'My Girl',

Tommy

I read the letter and I took off running towards the G-Major parking lot. There was no sign of Tommy anywhere. I got in my car and drove as fast as I possibly could to the airport. I wasn't going to lose him again. When I got there I had no idea where his flight was at.

"Ma'am, can you tell me the flight that is leaving for Italy tonight?" I asked her.

"Sure, it's Flight 211, and it leaves in ten minutes from Gate 21. But, you have to get a ticket since it is so close to boarding."

"Fine, first class" I said handing her my credit card. I briefly showed her my passport and I took off running. I must really love this guy because I am running in heels, and I know that I must care about him.

I ran and showed the lady my ticket and she said that they were already boarding and told me to take my seat. I could see Tommy but, he couldn't see me. When the plane landed I followed Tommy, and I saw two teenagers meet him plus, an older couple. I went out front and I got a cab.

"Follow that cab right there, cab 23" I said to him.

"Alright"

"Stop about a block away from where he lets them out."

"Yes ma'am Ms. Harrison." The driver politely said and then we were on the road. When he stopped, I got out and thanked him and paid him the eighty dollars in U.S. money. I walked up to the door and I knocked on it. A girl answered it.

"May I help you?" She asked me.

"Yes, I am looking for Tommy Quincy." I said to her. She opened the door wider and invited me in.

"TOMMY YOU HAVE A VISITOR" she yelled down for him. When Tommy came down stairs he was shocked to see me standing right in front of him.
