Ok so this is my first fan fiction ever. Sorry if it sux. What if after Tommy left and Jude had her nervous breakdown she went to stay with her cousins in you guessed it Montana, but not just in Montana but actually right next door to Tommy. This is also mostly in Jude's POV.
So my album has reached number one and everyone would think that I would be ecstatic right? Wrong. He left, my producer, my rock, my wingman, my best friend, my everything. When he left I had a nervous breakdown, I blew off my record release party and I went to see Mason on tour in Barrie. When I got there this really cute guy came up to me and bought me some drinks. Needless to say I ended up wasted, I can't remember a lot from that night but a couple days later Darius got an envelope with some not so sober photos of me. Big D wasn't so happy with me but he decided to release the pictures but made sure that they were to our advantage. He set it up so that it looked like it was from a new music video of mine so I had to do a music video to somewhat reenact the pictures. D knew that my "fan" would not be too pleased with how things were going so he told me I should go hide somewhere, my dad told him about my family in Montana so now I am on my way to the airport to get on a plane to a place where I will be for who knows how long.
So getting to the plane was not an easy task, I kept on getting stopped and asked for autographs. But I finally got to my plane in time. I have to say I am pretty glad there aren't that many people flying to Montana from Toronto. With exception to a couple business guys I had first class all to myself. As I was looking for my trusty iPod I saw an envelope with my name on it so I opened it. It was a nice little letter from my sister Sadie. Sadie and I have become a lot closer since mom left with Don. Her letter said:
"Jude,
I have no idea what I am supposed to say right now so here I go. Even though we haven't always gotten along I will always be your big sister and will always love you. You have no idea how hard it is going to be without you around. Now don't worry I will visit as soon as Liam lets me. But you know what screw him, if you need me just call. Hope you have a good time with Uncle Simon, Aunt Liz, Des and Molly.
Love always,
Your Big Sister Sadie"
Ok so really missing my sister right now. At least in a matter of hours I will get to see one of my best friends. Desmond, Des, and I are practically inseparable when we are together. He's exactly a week older than me and people sometimes think we are twins its kinda weird. Molly on the other hand is his Sadie the big sister you love to hate and hate to love. Simon (Si) and Liz what can I say they are like the ideal couple they've been together since high school. Weirdly enough Si is dads brother and Liz is moms sister. I've decided its time for some iPod and sleep.
So the whole sleep thing totally didn't work out kinda got to into my ipod. I think the guy in the suit sitting across the aisle from me is a little no correction a lot annoyed with me. I kinda started rocking out to my weird selection of songs everything from Allister to the Beatles to Anna Nalick to Saving Jane to dare I say it 'N Sync. (Boyz Attack got deleted once a certain jerk left without so much as a meaningful goodbye) Anyways he kind of got annoyed with the fact that I was drumming with my pens and singing at the top of my lungs. Ok so the stewardess just told everyone to put their seats in the upright position, YES we're landing. I cant wait to get off this plane and crawl into bed.
As I got off the plane I looked around for my aunt and uncle and my cousins then I remembered how strict the airports had become so I went and got my bags. After getting my bags I took out my cell phone called Des but as I was calling him someones hands slipped over my eyes. I started freaking out and remembered S.I.N.G from Miss Congeniality. Solar plexus, instep, nose and groin. Then I turned around and saw Des on the ground.
Me: O MY GOD! DES I'M SOOO SORRY!
Des: Owww
I stick out my hand to help him and he pulls me down on the floor, mind you that we are in the middle of an airport, and starts wrestling with me. Finally after a couple minutes we get up and hug.
Des: Hi
Me: Hi, wheres your mom, dad, and o yes your darling sister?
Des (while grabing my
suitcase and leads me to his car): Their at home making sure
everything is all set up and Molly? Where else would she be?
Des
and Me at the same time: Shopping
We laugh as we get into his car
Me: New car?
Des: no its dads he thought I should give the rockstar a ride in his benz
Me: ooh I get special treatment
Des: so do I get a copy
of this new cd of yours?
I pull a copy out of my bag and put it in
the cd player
After driving in silence except for my voice ringing through the car we pull up to the house.
Me: Wow. I've really missed it here
Des: well since you haven't been here in a while we got some new neighbors
Me: any cute ones?
Des: well there is a pretty hot maid over there but I don't think you swing that way
I hit him on the arm as we pull into the garage. I get out and walk to the door.
Des: wanna help?
I turn around and see him struggling with my luggage
Me: what happened to the special treatment?
I grab some of my luggage and head inside
We walk into the kitchen as I drop my luggage and dramatically faint on the floor
Des: Get up jude
He kicks me and I smile but don't get up so he drops my luggage on my stomach
Me: DES! OWWWWWWW THAT HURT
Des: what can I say paybacks a bitch
Just as I get up my aunt Liz runs in the kitchen
Liz: whats going on in here?
I turn around
Me: Hey Liz
Liz: Oh Jude sweetie you two scared me, its so good to see you
She motions me in for a hug so I obey
Me: Its good to see you too, except under the circumstances
Liz: yes well we will be talking about that later
We break apart and then my uncle si comes in and pulls me into a tight almost death grip hug.
Me: Si… I… CANT… BREATH
Si: sorry
Me: YOURE… STILL… NOT… LETTING… GO
He lets go
Si: sorry, now let me get a look at my famous niece. So grown up
Des clears his throat: I think jude might be a little jet lagged so maybe she should go sleep?
Me: yeah I didn't get much sleep on the plane
Liz: well we set up your room
Me: my room? You guys didn't need to do that
Si: well we weren't sure how long you were staying besides we thought it would be good if you were comfortable
Me: thanx guys
I head up the stairs and to my room, I open the door and it is almost identical to my room at home. I put down some luggage and go to the window where I get the best cell service. I called everyone Sadie, mason, dad, D, and Jamie. I was sitting on the window seat for a while just sitting there. For the first time since he left I felt relaxed. I felt almost as though he was near me even though I know it was impossible. After a while I crawled into bed. Before I knew it a couple hours had passed and Molly came in and sat on the bed shaking me.
Molly: jude, jude? Wake up. Its time for dinner.
Me: Go away sadie
Molly: do I look like sadie?
I look up: strangely… yes… hey Molls
I give her a hug
Molly: come on, mom made your favorite
Me: Pizza?
Molly: yeah don't worry she ordered papa johns
Me: mmmmm pizza
We go downstairs just talking about random things she was telling me about this cute guy she met at the mall. We sat down to dinner.
Me: thanx for everything you guys
All: no problem
Des: except for the problem that I got attacked at the airport
I kick him under the table: I said I was sorry you should know not to come up to me from behind
Everyone laughs knowing that it wasn't his smartest move. We all talk about why I am staying with them then we talk about how inseparable Des and I were and how inseparable Molly and Sadie were. I also told them about mom and Don they all sympathized. Even Liz, my moms own sister, said that my mom was being a "selfish bitch that needs to realize that no matter who or what comes along you never abandon your children."
Me: well I think I'm gonna take a shower and then go back to bed and then in the morning I think im gonna go riding anyone wanna go with me?
Molly: I'll go with you meet me in the stalls around 8?
Me: ok night
I get up and go shower and go back to bed. I wake up around 6:30 to a car horn outside my window from next door I get out of bed and stumble over to the window. After opening the window I yell "ARE YOU OUT OF YOU FREAKIN MIND! SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!" Before the man in turned around I closed the window and crawled back into bed except I couldn't seem to fall back asleep so I got dressed to go riding and went downstairs for breakfast and then headed out to the stables. Outside I saw Molly staring at some guy next door. So I sneak up on her.
Me: Molls
Molly: Jude you scared me
Me: Sorry so who are we staring at?
Molly: the guy I met at the mall lives next door his name is Mike
I laugh: then go talk to him
Molly: I can't. He'll think I'm some sort of stalker
Me: come on lets go
I drag her by the hand over to the house next door and ring the doorbell
Molly: I cant believe im doing this
Me: oh please you are one of the most beautiful and confident people I know, well other than sadie
Molly: thanx
The door opens and I start walking away
Molly: Hi Wow did anyone ever tell you that you look a lot like… never mind can I speak to Mike please?
Man: Yeah sure hold on one sec
He walks away, Wow that voice sounds so much like… no it can't be.
Me (to myself out loud): no it can be him Jude, Montana of all places seriously
I turn around and walk back to Molly with my back to the closed door
Molly: I thought you were going to leave me.
Me: I was but then I realized we don't know this mike guy and I just wanted to make sure he wasn't some serial killer and I want to see the guy that made me doubt your confidence
She laughs and pushes me: Okay, loser
I stick my tongue out at her when the door opens and we focus our attention on the newcomer.
Mike: Hi Molly… what are you doing here?
Molly: I was outside at my stables when I saw you outside and realized that surprise, surprise look who lives next door.
They laugh and I wave trying to get some attention
Molly: oh mike this is my cousin Jude from Canada, she's visiting for a while
Me: nice to meet you
Mike: same… wait you're Jude Harrison aren't you
Me: guilty
Mike: wow my brother would flip if he knew you were right next door
Molly: well we should get going Jude
Me: you know I'm not really feeling like riding anymore… you two should get to know each other better… Molly I'll see you later… Mike it was very nice meeting you bye
Mike and Molly: Bye Jude
I walk back to the house and plop down on the couch in the family room and flip through the tv channels when Desmond comes up from behind me.
Des: Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
I hit him: Desmond stays home and does his pretty face.
We laugh as he sits on the couch next to me
Me: Why did our parents have to be such huge Beatles fans?
Des: Only because they are the greatest musicians to walk the face of the earth!
Me: Ok but why did we all get named after their songs?
Des: you got me there
I stop at VH1 its Where Are They Now? Boyz Attack edition. Des gives me a weird look.
Me: What!
Des: change the channel jude
Me: NO! You know you want to know where Chaz from Boyz Attack is I know you have the hotts for him
He tries to take the remote from me and I bite his arm
Des: owwww! Jude Elizabeth Harrison don't be stubborn
Me: im not. Don't be a dickhead Desmond Stuart Harrison
I stick my tongue out at him as he gives in. We laugh. The last part of the show they do a segment on Tommy. Des notices my anger starting to rise and reaches for the remote.
Me: No! I want to see what they say
Des: Fine
They talk about how he had been assigned to produce the first Instant Star, me, and how we got close and how he dated my sister and how he just suddenly disappeared. Then the show ends and on comes So Notorious! I groan and turn it off as Des is staring at me.
Me: What!
Des: You okay?
Me: No, I can't believe they gave Tori Spelling her own tv show
He laughs: you know what I mean
Me: Yeah I think so. Hey since your parents are at work for the day how about we go shopping
Des sarcastically: O MY God that is just what I dreamed of doing
I hit him and he groans: haha I mean like our shopping
He gives me one of those looks insinuating he has an evil genius idea: you mean like the toy store?
Me: I mean like not any toy store but FAO Schwartz duh! Let me change and then we can go
Des: YES! You know I swear sometimes I just think we will never grow up
Me: Why grow up!
I get up, go up stairs and change and come back down with my purse
ME: READY! Oh leave a note for Molly
Des: already did besides she wont even notice
We go out to his mustang, a newer one than mine, and drive to the store. When we get there I whip out my credit card. We get out of the car and head inside. First we start playing on the huge keyboard. We move randomly around the store when we find laser tag and we start playing it in the middle of the store. I am trying out my Mission Impossible moves walking backwards when I trip over a little leg. I look down and see a little girl no more than 4 sitting in the corner so I squat down and see whats wrong.
Me: Sweetie are you lost?
I notice her tear stained face as she nods. All of a sudden my vest thing starts going off Des hit me.
Me: SO NOT FAIR!
Des: hey shouldve been paying attention
He looks down and sees the little girl: Oh
Me: shes lost I don't know what to do
Des: we should take her to customer service or something like that
I look back at the little girl: who did you come here with?
She doesn't answer she just cries
I pick her up and hold her: it'll be ok I promise
Des leads the way while I have the little girl in my arms
Me: what is your name?
Little girl: Zoe
Me: hi Zoe I'm Jude and this is my dork of a cousin Desmond but you can call him dork brain
She laughs
Des: hey! I resent that!
We laugh as we get to the front Zoe starts to wiggle in my arms freeing herself from my overprotective grip
Zoe: Twommy! Twommy!
Des gives me a funny look and I counter his with an "oh please" look
Me: highly unlikely Des
I put Zoe down as she runs over to the man that was talking to a security guard. He turns around, he has a baseball hat on so I cant really see his face. He leans down and picks her up pulling her into a similar overprotective hug I gave her.
Man: Zoe don't do that to me
God that voice…
Zoe: sorry Twommy
He looks up just as Des and I are about to walk away: wait, I'd like to thank you for finding my niece.
I turn around and stop like a deer in the headlights. I could feel myself becoming pale: It was nothing… asswipe(I mumble) come on Des we gotta go
I grab his hand and drag him out to his car
Des: Jude was that…?
We get into his car.
Me: The arrogant ass who left me without so much as a meaningful goodbye or an "I'll call you when I can"? Yeah that would be the one and only Tom "Lil Tommy Q" Quincy or whatever his last name is.
He starts the car and we start back towards the house and I pull out my phone and call Sadie. She answers a little too soon like she was expecting someone to call.
Sadie: Kwest?
Me: God Sades look at your phone before you answer it
Sadie: Jude? Sorry I was expecting someone else… Whats up?
I sniff and Des gives me a sympathetic look: um nothing sades just forget it
Sadie: Jude, whats wrong? Don't tell me nothing cuz I know you
I can hear the concern in her voice as I start to break down.
Sadie: Jude come on. Are you with Des?
Me: yup
Sadie: Put him on the phone.
As we pull into the driveway I hand him the phone.
Des: Hey Sades
Sadie: Whats going on with jude!
Des: Well you know how we will never grow up?
Sadie: yeah but that doesn't explain why my baby sister is sobbing her eyes out
Des: Jude had the idea that we should go shopping at F.A.O Schwartz. Well to make a long story short we ran into part of the reason Jude is in Montana.
He holds the phone away from his ear since he knew my sister.
Sadie: O MY GOD! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THAT BASTARD IS IN MONTANA! THAT'S IT YOU'RE GETTING JUDE ON A PLANE HOME NOW! NO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M COMING THERE!
I grab the phone from Des.
Me: Sades its ok you don't have to I'm a big girl I can take care of myself, besides I have everyone here.
Sadie: JUDE DON'T WORRY IM ON MY WAY!
With that she hung up on me. I closed my phone as we got out of the car.
Me: What can I say I knew I wouldn't be able to stop her
Des: so shes coming?
Me: yup. Tom Quincy better get ready for hurricane Sadie
Des wraps an arm around my shoulders as we walk into the house. Once we get inside I go straight upstairs, crash on my bed, and cry myself to sleep. Next thing I know it's tomorrow afternoon and my big sister is waking me up.
Sadie: Jude? Jude wake up its me.
Me: Molls leave me alone
Sadie: Do I look like molly?
Me: whoa déjà vu
I sit up and give my sister a hug.
Me: hey sades
Man: don't I get a hug or atleast a "hey kwest thanx for flying so far with my sister talking your ear off"?
Sadie shoots him a dirty look as kwest and I both laugh our asses off. I break the hug and go over to kwest and give him a hug
Me: Hey Kwest thanx for flying so far with my sister talking your ear off
Kwest: no problem
I let go and he gives me a sympathetic look asking if I'm ok. I just nodded.
Sadie: well we should go converse w/ the fam
Me: yeah have fun
They leave and go downstairs as I walk over to my window. I just love the feeling of sitting at that window and I love the fact that I basically fit perfectly into the windowsill. It's almost like a pair of jeans that fit perfectly on you. After sitting there for a while I see that pick up truck that was honking early in the morning drive up the driveway next door. It comes to a stop and a man gets out and carries a sleeping familiar little girl in his arms to the house. I squint my eyes to see better and it is Zoe, the little girl Des and I met at the store. After I notice this the man turns around and I notice it is no other than Tom Quincy, when I see this I scream at the top of my lungs.
Me: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!
Everyone runs up to my room and at the same time asks: WHATS WRONG!
Me: HE… GRR!
Molly comes over to me looks out the window and looks back at me
Molly: Jude what's wrong did you see something outside?
As she asks this I see Mike, the cute guy from next door, walk in my room and I glare at him.
Mike: Sorry is this a family meeting or something?
Everyone gives me a concerned look as I get up from the window and walk over to him with anger running through me.
Me (calmly): what is your brother's name?
Mike: I have several… oh you mean the one I told you about? His names Tom… why?
When he says that my family and Kwest start to catch on.
Liz: oh my god
Si: you can say that again
Molly: Lets not jump to conclusions now… ok? Mike's last name isn't Quincy… or did you lie to me?
Mike: no my last name is Maguire… but my brother goes by a different last name… I think I should go check on my niece. Bye Molls.
He kisses her on the cheek and heads down the stairs as I chase after him while everyone stays in my room.
Me: Your nieces name wouldn't happen to be Zoe, would it?
He stops dead in his tracks.
Me: And your brother wouldn't happen to use the last name Quincy would he?
He slowly turns around: I'm so sorry. Its just that Tom doesn't want people knowing where he is.
Me: Even people who love him?
I cover my mouth with my hand. Everyone steps out of my room and gives me a look.
Sadie: You love him?
Me (lying or at least trying): No… I think I need to be alone right now
I run into my room, close the door and lock it. After a while of everyone banging on my door trying to coerce me out of my room, they gave up. For a while I just threw things around the room letting my anger and frustration out. I also screamed until my voice went hoarse… I think everyone wishes I was in a soundproof room. After calming down I came out of my room and went downstairs in search of some food since my stomach was starting to make that same sound as it did the night of my birthday. When I got to the kitchen I felt several pairs of eyes on me so I turned around to see Sadie, Kwest, Des and Liz staring at me.
Me: What?
They all give me that "are you okay?" look
Me: For now yeah… well after I eat
I look around and notice Simon and Molly weren't there… I assumed Mike went home.
Me: Where's Uncle Si and Molls?
Liz: your uncle got called into the hospital and Molly is…
I cut in: Let me guess next door with mike?
Everyone nods in response.
Me: Wow and to think I was more important than some guy… oh well I mean I should be used to it I live with her twin
Liz, Des and I laugh. Sadie gives me an evil look. Kwest looks pretty confused.
Me: Let me explain. Si and dad are brothers. Liz and mom are sisters. Des and Molls are our double cousins. Des and I are exactly a week apart. Sades and Molls are 2 days apart. Ever since we were little Des and I have been more alike than me and Sades and I. However Sades and Molls are almost identical… they even look alike. Don't tell me you didn't notice.
Kwest: ok that's a little freaky
Me: not really well I guess to us its normal
Sadie is still giving me an evil look
Me: I still love you Sades
We all laugh.
Liz: Well I'm gonna head on up to bed you kids behave.
She looks at me and Des when she says that
Des: What? We are good kids right Jude?... Jude?
I laugh: Des did you just say that?... Have you met us? Des we never behave.
We all laugh except for Des who is trying to convince himself that we always behave.
Liz: ok guys night
She gives Des, Sades, and I kisses on our heads
All of us: Night
Not too long after she goes up to bed uncle Si comes in and goes up to bed. We just sit in the kitchen while we explain to Kwest things we did as kids like playing pranks on the sheriff.
Kwest: WAIT! I just realized something…
Me, Sades, Des: What?
Kwest: You all have names from Beatles songs
We all laugh when Molly comes in. We all say hello
Molls: Jude how are you?
Me: I'm ok… you and mike didn't tell him that im right next door did you? Or that I know that he's next door?
Molls: Did you really think I would do that to you?
We are all silent and she gives us a hurt look then we all laugh and walk into the living room. Des turns on the tv and hands me the remote and I flip through the channels when I come across MTV2 and see it's the beginning of the Andy Milonakis Show. When I see this I glance at Des and we start singing the theme song along with andy.
Me and Des: I rock peas on my head but don't call me a pea head
Bees on my head but don't call me a bee head
Bruce Lees on my head but don't call me a Lee head
Now please excuse me I gots to get my tree fed
Sades and Molls: STOP!
Me and Des: I hang out with an apple who loves self loathing
I hate myself
Pancake on my face makes me extra happy
I like shampoo bottles that sit on my lappy
Kwest starts to join in and Sadie throws him a look
Me, Des, and Kwest: Cuz its my show you cant tell me what to do
When life hands me lemons I make beef stew
So yo I gotta rock it
I put bologna in my left pocket
Smear some cream cheese in my gold locket
Cuz its my show
I'm Mandy Milonakis
Cuz its my show
I'm Shmandy Shmiloshmakis
Cuz its my show
I'm Andy Milonakis
The three of us break out into laughter. Sadie and Molly roll their eyes at us.
Sades and Molls look at each other and say: Pathetic
The three of us glare at them: HEY!
Me: Don't dis Andy, didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders?
S: elders? That is a kid Jude your probably older than him
D: No actually he's like 35 or something
M: are you shitting me?
K: nope
We all watch the rest of the show in silence. At the end I decide I should go to bed.
Me: Guys I'm goin to bed night
I go upstairs to my room and crawl on to my bed. Suddenly I don't feel tired but actually inspired. I grab my journal, the one he gave me. I haven't written in it yet. I opened it and read the quote out loud for probably the 10 millionth time.
Me: Most of us go to our graves with our music still inside of us.
Flashback
Tommy: First time we finished an album I was the jerk who uh didn't get you…
He handed me the journal.
Me: A new journal…
Tommy: Well yeah as soon as this album hits number one Darius is gonna start clamoring for another set of songs.
I look at the journal and read the quote he wrote in it.
Me: "Most of us go to our graves with our music still inside of us" Wow! Sometimes you can be so 24.
Referring to the other day when he told me "Sometimes you can be so… 17"
Tommy: I took a chance, shoot me
Me: Hmm… taking chances seems to be all the rage these days.
End of Flashback
I smile to myself thinking how happy I was. I was actually really truly happy; my album was done, Tommy and I had kissed… and he didn't tell me to forget it. That all changed now I'm back to depressed Jude. I grab my light up Tinkerbell pen that Des gave me when I was at the airport…(He knows my secret obsession. He is one of the few that know I have everything Tink… pjs, sheets, jewelry, stationary, mints, posters. My walls used to have Tink painted on them but mom told me I should grow up (she thinks I grew out of my "phase")) I start writing down lyrics not even thinking about what I'm doing.
When I finish I look at the clock which reads 4:32 am. I close my journal and turn off the light. I'll put music to it tomorrow… or today. I go to sleep and wake up what feels like five minutes later but is actually about 8 hours later. I roll over and open my eyes coming face to face with a pair of brown eyes of a little girl. I start freaking out and start screaming. When Mike runs in my room and scoops up the little girl. I try to hide my tink pjs.
Mike: Zoe what did I tell you about going upstairs? I'm so sorry Jude.
He gives me a sympathetic look.
Me: Its ok… just you know make sure she doesn't say anything to you know who
Mike: I will
They leave the room and I grab my yup you guessed it Tink robe and grab my guitar and open my journal and start putting music to the lyrics I wrote early early this morning. After about half an hour later I'm happy with my finished product and start singing my song.
I am moving through the crowd
Tryin to find myself
Feel like a guitar that's never played
Will someone strum away
And I ask myself
Who do I wanna be?
Do I wanna throw away the key?
And invent a whole new me?
And I tell myself
No one
No one
Don't wanna be No one But me
You are moving through the crowd
Trying to find yourself
Feel like a doll left on a shelf
Will someone take you down
And you ask yourself
Who do I wanna be?
Do I wanna throw away the key?
And invent a whole new me?
Gotta tell yourself
No one
No one
Don't wanna be No one But me
Your life plays out on the shadows of the wall
Turn the light off to erase it all
You wonder what its like to not feel worthless
So open all the blinds and draw the curtains
No one
No one
Don't wanna be No one But me
We are moving through the crowd
I hear a knock at my door as I finish.
Me: Come in.
Des walks in with an apologetic look: Jude… I'm sorry to interrupt but there is someone downstairs to see you
I get up not caring what I look like or the fact that I'm in Tinkerbell pjs, robe and slippers. I go downstairs and see Liz talking to a man with his back to me thinking it is Mike.
Me: Liz? Des said there was someone here for me?
The man she was talking to turned around as my heart sunk.
Man: Hey Jude
Everyone winced when he said that even he did after realizing what he said.
Me: Who told you!
Man: No one I came by because Mike brought Zoe over to meet his new girlfriend and to my surprise I see my bestfriend and your sister here and considering I saw you at the toy store I put 2 and 2 together.
Me (calmly trying not to lose my cool): Get out.
Tommy: Jude
Me: Tommy please just leave.
Tommy starts walking closer to me: Jude don't push me away
Everyone starts leaving the area where we are. Sadie and Liz are trying to hold Des back from beating Tommy up or at least trying. I roll my eyes.
Me: Don't push you away? GOD! Tommy you're the one who pushed me away. You ask me out to dinner, then you leave in the middle of my show, you show up late to dinner and tell me you're leaving. Do you remember that Tom? You told me you were leaving and that you might not be coming back. I didn't even get a meaningful goodbye I just got a careless "bye" with a shrug. Oh and I also ran out of the restaurant chasing after you pounding on your car trying to get you to stop but no you just sped away. You didn't even look back. So excuse me if I'm not sympathizing with you right now.
He stepped closer and was about to say something when I slapped him across the face. He holds his cheek: Jude… please
