starttomakeitbetterWho? Jude Willis and Reecy Chester
What? "I wanna change the world only for you..."
When? Moments after this
Where? The party of Tony nominees and Reecy's birthday
Jude wasn't stupid. Well... maybe that was a matter of opinion, but at least he wasn't so stupid that he didn't know that his relationship with his girlfriend was barely hanging onto something that didn't feel strong enough anymore. He wasn't so stupid that he didn't know that Reecy had been looking at him the whole time she was singing. Or that he didn't realize how poignant the words were. When she was breaking down in tears, Jude felt his stomach drop to his feet, and it was only a half a second before he felt a solid smack in the back of his head and turned around to see Justin looking at him with a well-honed bitch glare. "Go after her," he told him. "Or don't keep her hanging anymore. That's my big sister."
The truth was, Jude had already been following her with his eyes to see where to go when he followed her, but if there'd been any question at all as to whether he should go or not, Justin's bitchslap had answered it. He didn't say a word, just gave the younger guy a firm nod before he disappeared into the crowd and back toward the dressing rooms of the venue. He kept going until he came across a half-open door and caught a glimpse of Reecy's dress. He knocked gently even as he slipped into the room, and crossed it in long strides to wrap her in his arms, tears streaking his own face. "Reecy, baby, I'm so sorry," he told her, kissing the top of her hair. "I'm so fucking sorry."

breakableheartsForgive me if this is too forward, but would you like to accompany me to see Dirty Dancing: The Musical tonight? The perks of having a nephew on Broadway, he gave me some front row tickets that have been relinquished by some VIP or another.
