What if Jude was twenty and Tommy was sixteen when they first met without instant star and just on normal circumstances…hope you enjoy! by the way i do not own any charecters of instant star.

"Kat, what's up." Jude said answering her phone she just got of work she worked at a nursing home as a housekeeper while studing music at the local college. Kat was her friend that she met at work last year, now she lived in the neighboring city so I didn't get to see her very often, she was a few years older than Jude but they became very close.

"Oh nothing much I'm in town for just today and my family is throwing a barbacue, you want to come?"

"Sure what time do you want me to be there?"

"In ten to twenty if you can?"

"Sure see you then." I didn't bother to change out of my scrubs top but the bottoms where to big for me so I grabbed a pair of my favorite hip-hugger jeans. And headed out to my truck.

Kat only lived a few minutes from my house, I parked next to her little car, and headed into the house. When inside I saw to guys on the couches, one on a chair with the legs up and the other one looking a bit out of place. "Jude I would like you to meet, my cousin Kwest and his best friend Tommy, they rode up her with me and my aunt."

I waved and said hi, they both waved and went back to watching the discovery channel. I wondered silently if that was her older cousin that was twenty one or the younger one that was only seventeen. I shrugged it off and followed Kat into her old room and asked:"So how are things going with you and this Jamie guy?"

"Pretty good, but it still bothers me that he doesn't want to tell everyone about US. I mean where both twenty four and he should just step up and be a man right, we shouldn't be sneaking around like we where fourteen again."

"Seriously you left high school drama in high school, one thing I'm glad to be rid of."

"Yeah, oh yeah I invited speid and the boys over, hope you don't mind."

"No of course not Kyle and I are still really good friends, you know it just wasn't meant to be, anyways he's dating someone new now."

"Oh that's cool. They said there bringing the football so be warned."

"Cool, so what are you doing tonight?"

"Going back to San Fran." (Yeah, I know not Canada, but I don't know the Canadian area very well so bear with me.)

"That sucks, I was hoping we could catch a movie today, I don't have to work tomorrow first day off this whole week."

"The pay must be good then."

"That's what I keep telling myself, seriously more work more money comin' in how vain is that."

"Not vain, just life. Hey Tommy brought his guitar, you should play something. I just love showing you off, your voice is great, so is Tommy's you two should sing something."

"Tommy likes music."

"Yeah he's pretty good too…but not as good as you of course." Jude smiled and said, "Come on I'll be the judge of that."

Jude walked into the living room and said, "So Kat was just telling me that one of you is into music, and has a guitar."

"Yeah that would be me," Tommy said from the couch he was sitting in, "So do you like music?"

"Its only my life, can I borrow your guitar for a minute?"

"Sure," he got up and pulled out his guitar that was resting on a chair across the room.

Jude sat down where Tommy was already took the pick that was in her pocket it seemed like she always had one on her. And started to strum the guitar.

Tommy stood by where Kwest was sitting and stared at this pretty blond, she probably could play twinkle twinkle and thought it was really neat. He did not expect to hear her strumming something so original so fresh and he was shocked beyond words his mouth hanging open when she opened her mouth and a spectacular voice came from it.

I drift away to a place
Another kind of life
Take away the pain
I create my paradise

Everything I've held
Has hit the wall
What used to be yours
Isn't yours at all

Falling apart, and all that I'm asking
Is it a crime, am I overreacting

Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie

So what you had didn't fit
Among the pretty things
Never fear, never fear
I now know where you've been

Braids have been un-tied
As ribbons fall away
Leave the consequence
But my tears you'll taste

Falling apart and all that I question
Is this a dream or is this my lesson

Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie

I don't believe I'll be alright
I don't believe I'll be OK
I don't believe how you've thrown me away
I do believe you didn't try
I do blame you for every lie
When I look in your eyes, I don't see mine

Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie

Oh my permission to sin
You might have started my reckoning
I've got a reason now to bury him alive
Another little white lie

Tommy's mouth still hung open Kwest said, "Tommy man she's way better than you."

"Hey man, your suppose to be on my side."

"You can sing too? Here, Tommy was it, sing something." She handed him the guitar back and Tommy sat down and said, "I only have written one full song. So here it goes."

Jude really expected him to refuse when he accepted that shocked her, she really didn't expect him to be any good, but he was really good the lyrics where a little corny but cute and catchy.

If I was a drift on an ocean all alone
You came and rescued me
When I was far from home
Rush of love around my heart
Just as I fell apart

Chorus
Nobody ever cared as much for me (as much for me)
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked up the pieces and put me back together again

Ooo ya
Careful, we're fragile and easily we break
In your arms I'm certain
It's all the love we make
Rush of love around my heart
Just as you take my hand

Chorus
Nobody ever cared as much for me (as much for me)
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked the pieces and put me back together

I'll write you name in
Stars across the sky (stars across the sky)
We'll drift away in
To eachothers eyes
Hey ya (Hey ya) Hoy ya ya ya yaya, oh ya ya

Chorus
Nobody ever cared as much for me
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked the pieces and put me back together

Nobody ever cared as much for me (as much for me)
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked the pieces and put me back together again

Jude was about to say something when Speid and the boys came into the house.
