You win.

Harry,

I don’t know where to begin but I’ll start by saying thank you. You’ve been a dream, a wonderful dream I was always afraid of not being real. You showed me parts of the world and pulled me out of my shell. More importantly, you showed me the crazy kind of love that some only hear about, or dream about. But now it’s time that I wake up.

You may call me a coward, and rightfully so, for I’m not brave enough to say this face to face. I need to take a break. I’ve lost myself in you and must find my way again. I can’t follow you on this adventure anymore. We have different paths, yours never stops and mine never started.

I tried, we tried. At least we can say that much. I love you. I think I always will. But for now I have to take care of some things and take care of myself. If you never forgive me and even choose to hate me, I’ll understand. I can’t believe I’m doing this, every cell in my body is telling me not to. But I need to be with my family.

All I ask is that you give me the space I need. Give me a few days, weeks, to come back to that girl you first met. Although I could never truly be her, and I don’t want to be. Instead I want to see the woman I’m meant to be . . . and I can’t do that here. I can’t do that with you.
Aunt Maggie passed away and I think this was the sign, the push, I needed to go back home. My home. You gave me the best months of my life. I could never forget that and I could never forget you.

Love always, Jude

This culminates the 2nd part to Hey Jude. I will have some extra chapters as Jude's blog entries on specific events. And if you are true Jude fans, or simply want to follow her journey to a life without Harry (but not truly without), then I invite you to the 3rd installment. I've decided to make a separate story for that since it's a different feel than this one.

I hope you've enjoyed this story as it's been a little over 2 years of writing it. I could never truly give up on it, therefore I've only altered its course.

I love you all and I'm grateful you've stuck around. xoxo
