hey all sorry again for the long delay. crazy life at the moment, trying to get all my work finished to finally get to the end of my wonderful college experience. but any ways here's the newest part of when there's nothing left to say...hope you like it!

Jude was at home spring-cleaning. She didn't have to be in G Major until the afternoon, Sadie was already at work and her mom still hadn't returned. Jude found that she wasn't angry with her either anymore. Her dad had really wrecked her mom's life it wasn't her fault she needed to escape. Victoria had spoken to Sadie once since her impromptu departure. She had said she was so sorry to leave them. Sorry that it had come to this, but everything was breaking her being in that house. Nice way to describe their home right? But Jude had a whole new look on everything in her life right now.

She couldn't change what mistakes and feelings other people made or had so why try. Her mom did what was best for her, Tommy did what was easiest for him and Jamie did what was simplest for him so now Jude needed to do what would get her through the craziness of her life.

The doorbell rang and she chucked the cloth and polish she had on to the couch and skipped down to the hallway. She was only dressed in a really torn pair of shorts and a baggy Beatles shirt, cleaning gear. She pulled the front door open and couldn't believe what was in front of her eyes. She smiled widely and for the first time in weeks it reached her eyes. She squealed like a little girl and threw her self into the arms of the person the other side of the door.

'Hey Red!' said the tall gothic looking girl on the doorstep. She was slightly taken aback at Jude's extreme reaction.

'Patsy what are you doing here?' Jude spoke in a rather high pitch voice due to her impossible excitement.

'When did you go blonde?' Was patsy answer.

'Not long a go, now what the hell are you doing here? Why didn't you say you were in town? Where's Caleb?'

'Shall we go for 20 questions here?' Patsy laughed. She had missed her crazy friend.

'Sorry I'm just surprised. Come in explain all!' Jude moved back from the entrance to let Patsy past, slamming the door and following.

Patsy headed for the lounge she knew this house so well, she had spent most of her teen years here.

Both girls flopped on to the couch.

'So tell me everything how's life?' Jude stated. She hadn't seen her best friend Patsy in over a year. It was nice for some normality.

'Pretty good shockingly. New York's just a scream.' Patsy always had a slight sarcastic edge to her voice. Jude love it, most hated it.

'I bet super star, how's the band?'

Patsy's long term boyfriend Caleb was in an indie rock band. They had been trying to make it ever since junior year. They were all the same age, now 22. Not long after Jude won Instant Star they had finally got their chance with a new record label in the Big Apple. Patsy of course had gone with them. Jude had missed her so much. Patsy was Sadie's age, 20 but her and Jude had been the closet of friends. Jude was almost 16 when Patsy left.

'Yeah they are all good. Still over in the states working. I had a break from work so decided to visit home.' Patsy didn't seem too happy about this point. She never really got on with her family, except her brother Danny. He was probably the only the reason she bothered to come see them at all. Danny was 17 like Jude he idolized his sister. To his parents disgust. Being a musician was definitely not what they called a respected job.

'Oh well I bet that was enjoyable.' Jude joked she knew patsy hated deep conversations. She wouldn't want to discuss her family much more.

'Any way what about you? Life? Explain…' Patsy changed subject as predicted.

'Not a lot's changed. Still with G Major. Still in high school.' Patsy could tell straight a way she was lying. She knew Jude better than she knew her self sometimes.

'Come on the truth.'

Jude breathed in deeply. She had wanted for so long to just tell some one everything. With her parents she always had Tommy to talk to about it. He knew what it was like his parents split when he was young. But she could hardly discuss her Tommy issues with well Tommy. And Jamie hadn't spoke to Jude now in about three weeks. She wasn't sure if they were even considered friends anymore.

'My parents split a while back.' Jude didn't know where else to start but at the beginning of this mess. It seemed in the year and a half Patsy had been gone everything had fell apart. Patsy didn't say anything just waited patiently for Jude to continue. She could tell there was more to this. She had felt so bad when she left. Jude's life had changed practically over night. Then Patsy had gone with Caleb and Jude was left to cope. But she had had Jamie and her family.

'Yeah, he cheated on her. It was awful. But moving on now…' Jude tried to brush it off as nothing. She didn't want Patsy to feel guilty for not being around. She had her own life, her own problems.

'Stuart cheated on Vic, that's harsh and pretty messed up.' Patsy had grown up apart of the Harrison family near enough. She would never have expected this.

'Yeah, now moms gone away.' Jude couldn't explain, she felt like she was about to break in to tears. The lump in her throat made it hard swallow. Why is it that until some one says 'are you okay' you are, but as soon as you try to reassure them you break?

'Gone?' Patsy didn't quite understand. It seemed like she had missed more than she thought.

'She left. A few weeks ago. Said she could stand being here any more. Dad really messed our family up I guess…'

'Shit Jude I'm so sorry.' Patsy pulled her in to a hug. Which was unusual for Patsy. Jude cried finally. It felt good to let go with some one who wasn't involved. It felt so good to have Patsy back….but for how long?

After a few minutes Jude finally pulled her self together. She sat back on her heels on the couch and smiled weakly across to her friend.

'Sorry. I bet that's just what you want on your holiday some hysterically girl sobbing on your shoulder.' Jude laughed half-heartedly.

'Hey, I'm here if you need to talk. Part of the best friend package. Don't you forget that.' Patsy scolded, suddenly very serious. 'And I'm the sorry one for not being around. I will be more I promise. In fact I'm moving back in with the folks for a bit.'

'What?' how come?' Jude sat up sharply.

'A few reasons but I'm back in Toronto for the upcoming future.'

'Okay now truth. I know you just as well as you do me. What's going on?' Jude stared in to the other girl's dark brown eyes. She saw a flicker of pain cross her strong features then it vanished.

'Me and Caleb, we are on a break. But before you start to worry we are fine, he is really busy right now and we just needed some space. We're all good. Other than that I'm back for Danny. He's not doing so well right now. Mom's given up with him. What can I say, parents, they fuck you up.'
