Prologue

Flashback!

Two months after Jude's first album came out Tommy and Jude are in the studio talking. Tommy looks over at Jude and can't help but think about all that she's been through and how she somehow managed to still be happy. He gets lost in his thoughts as Jude speaks about her life and the way it is now. Tommy looks away so she won't notice how long he had been staring at her. He loved her more than anything in his life and at the same time he knew he had boundaries to live by. She was only 16, and if he went too far he would have to leave. So he would sit back and pretend every feeling he had for her was strictly platonic, hoping that one day he could be honest about his feelings and he wouldn't have to hide anymore.

Jude was happier than ever or at least that's what she told everyone. She and Jamie were happy together, she had maintained a friendship with Tommy, her CD had already gone platinum, and her mother was happy without her Dad. Her world was going perfectly; she had even become close friends with Shay. With everything going great she still felt like something was missing. She had spent many nights on the phone with shay telling him that she was missing something very important in her life and she didn't know what it was. She had written songs about it. "My hearts desire" "Too far to touch" and "mysterious" were all about the thing she couldn't put her finger on. But for some reason, when she was with Tommy everything seemed perfect. She knew she still had feelings for him but she was with Jamie and he didn't deserve anything like what she had been through. So she would just sit back and pretend that everything was perfect hoping that one day it would be.

Tommy: So what do you want to sing about now?

Jude: I don't know have I made a song about being genuinely happy before?

Tommy: Nope, I think it might work though. I have an idea why don't we get out of the studio for a while we can go to my place.

Jude: That sounds fun; I've never been to your house before.

When they arrive at Tommy's house, Jude is in awe. She had never seen a house so huge. Tommy looked at the expression on her face and smiled. She ran around the house looking at everything like she was in some kind of teenage toy store. She sat down on his comfortable leather couch, in front of his 50 in. plasma flat screen TV and started flipping through channels. Tommy walked over and sat next to her. She looked up at him with her gorgeous blue eyes and his heart melted. She turned her attention back to the television and Tommy calmed all his emotions down. He got up off the sofa and asked her if she was hungry. She followed him to the kitchen and hopped up on the island counter. He looked at her and gave up on pretending. He grabbed her face and kissed her hard, and passionately. She pulled away and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Jude: Tommy, we can't.

Tommy: Why can't we.

Jude: I'm with Jamie, your still dating my sister; I'm 16 and your 22.

Tommy: Jude, I love you more than anything in my life, I don't want anyone but you.

Jude: But Tommy…

Tommy: Let me prove how much I love you, stay the night.

Jude: Tommy, are you crazy, my parents would kill you.

Tommy: Maybe I am crazy, will you stay?

Jude: Yes.

At that moment, Tommy pulled Jude into a hard passionate kiss. He picked her up so her legs were rapped around his waist. He took her into the living room and laid her on the couch. He moved his kisses from her lips to her neck. He raised her back off the couch and removed her shirt. He trailed his kisses from her neck to her soft breasts.
