A/N: This is definately different than anything I've ever written before. It's going to be a short multi-chapter Jommy story, based on the song Konstantine by Something Corporate. It's a fabulous song, if you haven't heard it. I've been thinking for a while that it is just...so Jommy. Ha. So I'm writing a multi-chapter song fic of sorts. But it's not really your average song fic. I don't know. You'll just have to see. This story is going to be random scenes in the Tommy and Jude's lives, and where their relationship takes them. Sometimes it will be happy, sometimes it will be sad. It won't seem completely cohesive all the time, but I think you'll all like it. These chapters are snapshots of their lives. The lyrics from Konstantine that fit with each chapter will be at the end of each chapter. I hope you can appreciate. I plan on finishing this within the next few days or weeks.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Instant Star, and I don't own the song Konstantine. That would belong to Something Corporate. Now on with the Jommy!
Part One
She was going on tour again. She was touring the whole god damn world, and all Tommy would ever do was hold her back.
Damn, he loved her. Tommy loved Jude with every fiber of his being. But Jude was going places. She going places in her life, and he wouldn't be the one to hold her back. He'd been that guy before, and he wasn't going to be that guy for her again.
He didn't want to be.
"Tommy…" Jude began for the umpteenth time. "I love you." She'd said the words so many times.
Tommy sighed. "I love you, too. I do." He ran a hand through his hair. "But-"
Tears filled Jude's eyes at the sound of that word. But. He was always using that word with her. She hated it. She hated it as much as she wanted to hate him. But she couldn't hate him.
She let out a strangled sound. "But what, Tommy? You don't want to be with me? I'm too young? Damnit Tommy, it's not as though half the world has figured us out by now anyway."
Tommy looked down. "You're leaving for Europe, girl. You're leaving for Europe, and Asia, and everywhere in between. And yes, you're young. And going on world tour. And I don't want to be the guy that holds you back."
Jude crossed her arms. "And what if I want you to be that guy?"
He sighed. "Then I'm not the guy you're looking for."
Jude punched him weakly in the chest. "Damnit, Tom. Don't you know it's always going to be you? Doesn't matter who I'm looking for…it's you I'm always going to want." She added softly, "You're the one I'm always going to love."
"Go live your life," said Tommy. "Go live your life, and live it for yourself. Not for me. You have so much to give, and I'm going to hold you back."
"You won't," she whispered.
"I will," he replied softly. He reached forward and used to pad of his thumb to wipe the tears from her eyes.
She exhaled loudly. "This isn't over, Tommy."
"SME is waiting for you, girl."
She repeated quietly, "This isn't over." With that, she walked away from him.
Tommy whispered to himself, "I love you too much."

I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big... dreams
it's always you in my big dreams
End of Part One. I hope to get Part Two up quite soon. Please review! I live for them. Seriously.
