A/N: Please note: This is the sequel to my fic Two Worlds Collide. I would strongly recommend you reading that fic before reading this one. Yes the prologue is the same as the epilogue in Two Worlds.
Disclaimer: I own nothing…though I wish I owned Tim…that would be nice…:D
Summary: As before, it's the sequel to Two Worlds, picks up right after. An accident happens that could shatter our Instant Star winner's reality, possibly forever.
Please review if you read…I love reviews, and the more reviews I get, the quicker I'll post chapter 1!
Prologue

Dear Diary,
It's been four months since that night at Kavann's. My therapist tells me I'm doing great; that I don't need her anymore. She suggested I start writing in a diary to help me deal with my emotions and to call her if I need to. I'm beginning to think, maybe she's right. I'm able to get out again without feeling too afraid to. For a month, I wouldn't go anywhere unless Tommy was with me. I was too afraid to leave his sight.
He's been good to me through this. I think he feels guilty about Marc. Ya know, he wouldn't have met me if Tommy hadn't left. I don't blame him, not for the incident anyway. I've told him that. I blame that bastard that almost raped me that night in the alleyway.
I feel like my life is finally going the way I want it to. Things are back in my control. For so long, things have been moving beyond my grasp. Winning the Instant Star competition, mom and dad's divorce, Dad proclaiming an engagement to Yvette, Tommy and Sadie's sudden relationship…it just never ended. I finally feel like I can be happy and enjoy the next coming months. Tommy and I are going strong and have been dating for an official four months. Tommy had told Georgia about our relationship after that night. He said he couldn't hide the way he felt and he wanted the world to know he was in love with me, Jude Harrison. I smile whenever I see that. To think he would ever be with me is still surreal, but I enjoy every minute of it. Sadie has been amazingly supportive of our relationship. She even argued with Mom about how we belong together and Tommy would never hurt me. I guess she's finally acting like a sister. Jamie and Kat are still together and going strong. They've helped me a lot to get through this and I don't know what I'd do without them as my friends.
I had picked up my guitar for the first time since that night in the alley earlier. I played "Skin", and I saw Tommy's eyes get sad. I think he thought I was playing it because of Marc, but I was playing it for me. I needed to get all of the old emotions out of me. I need to move past the past and look to the future…Tommy, and our life together. For me, it was a song of goodbye and throwing away all my old childish thoughts and dreams. It's time for me to move on with my life, and I'm going to take more control.
I finally feel like my life is going to turn out ok. I've hit the bottom, and I can only come out on top…or so the law of gravity says. See, I did pay attention in Physics. Kind of…(maybe?)
The phone rang and Jude set down her pen. She reached over on the coffee table that sat next to Tommy's couch. She picked up her cell phone and hit the talk button, frowning at the unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Ms. Harrison?"
"Yes, that's me." Jude said, confused as to who was calling her so late at night.
"I'm with Mercy General Hospital, Ms. Harrison, there's been an accident…"
…Scratch what I said before.
