A/N: Here's a new story that came to me after the season finale of Instant Star. Hope you enjoy and please review!

Where does it hurt?
Tell me cause I understand
The words of a heart
Beating like wings in my hand

'This is it. My last concert,' Jude thought to herself sadly.

I've been there too
I've wasted myself
And you were there for me

Jude looked out at the people below her. They were all there to support, all of which were her adoring fans. She would never get to experience this wonderful rush of excitement again.

Where does it hurt?
There's always so much to lose
So Far to fall
And nowhere to go when it's through
But if you let me in
I won't let you down
Put your faith in me
Cause whenever you crash, wherever you land
That's where I'll be

As Jude looked out into the crowd she saw everyone that meant something to her looking up at her with admiration. There was Sadie, her sister and Kwest, her sister's boyfriend and her own personal backup producer. Then there was Jamie, her best friend and boyfriend (kind of). And last, but certainly not least, there was Tommy. What was there to say about little Tommy Q? He was her world, her everything. He was her co producer and secret lover. He was the guy of her dreams. But no matter how hard she tried, Jude could never decide if she loved him more than Jamie or vice versa.

And for every endless midnight there's a sky full of broken stars
And there'll always be a place for you inside my arms
There's a million streets to walk down in this city of broken hearts
But there'll always be a place for you inside my arms
Where does it hurt?

Jude was finishing up her song and she couldn't help but let a few tears out. Her dream was coming to an end.

Where does it hurt?

Jude finished her song and felt everything end. With that final note it was over. The crowd below her started to applaud and cheer frantically as she gave the crowd one more smile before she walked off to the side. Jamie met her up there.

"You okay?" he asked knowing that she must feel pretty crushed at the moment.

"I will be," she replied as Tommy came up behind Jamie.

"Do you have plans for tonight?" he asked as Jamie turned around to glare at him.

"I was going to ask you the same thing," said Jamie as he turned back around to face Jude.

"Well, um, Tommy did ask me first so um…I'll talk to you later Jamie," she said as she quickly waked off with Tommy before he could retaliate.

-------------------------------------------

Tommy took Jude to a cute little corner café and Jude wonder what was on his mind as he was being strangely quite. They sat at a table for two and after a few minutes Jude broke the silence.

"What's on your mind Quincy?" she asked knowing that whatever it was it must be important.

"Now that G-Major has closed down for good I want to get a fresh start. I want to do the things I never got the chance to do." Jude looked at him curiously. "I'm leaving for Thailand in two days."

"So you're leaving?" Jude was speechless for a moment.

"Jude, I just want you to be happy and..." he paused for a moment. "I want you to come with me. I want you, all of you, with me forever. I don't care what you do as a career; I just want to be with you…I would do anything for you Jude…because I love you."

"Oh my god," Jude felt her breath catch. They both leaned in and shared a sweet little kiss before Jude pulled away. "I don't know what to say, but I have to think about this. I'm sorry."

"I know," he said in an understanding way. "Take your time, and uh, you know where to find me." Jude bit her lip as he got up and walked away. 'Why didn't I just say yes? Why can't I decide between Jamie and Tommy? What is wrong with me?' she thought uneasily as she got up and left the café as well.

-------------------------------------------

The next morning Jude helped her sister get ready to leave for Mexico. She and Kwest were going on a little vacation. 'Lucky her,' Jude thought, 'She has her whole love life figured out.'

"So what's up with you?" Sadie asked seeing as Jude was obviously distracted. Jude sighed.

"How am I supposed to chose who it is that I really love? My head is telling me one thing and my heart…"

"What is it that your heart is telling you?"

"I really don't know, I can't tell. Sadie, just tell me what to do, you know me better than I probably even know myself." Sadie grabbed Jude's hand and sat down on the couch next to her.

"Jude, you have to choose who's in your heart, okay? And you know who that is." Jude thought about what she said for a moment.

"Well have fun on your little vacation," Sadie smiled as they both stood up. Sadie and Jude grabbed all of the rest of the luggage and took it out to Kwest's car. Smiling the two sisters hugged tightly before Sadie left.

"Bye," Sadie said as she got in the car, "Oh and Jude?" Jude smiled up at her, "Good luck," she said just before they drove away.

-------------------------------------------

"Jude," Jamie called as he saw Jude sitting on the steps in front of her house alone.

"Oh, hey Jamie," she said trying to put a smile on her face.

"We never got a chance to talk yesterday so um…there was something I wanted to tell you." Jude was bracing herself for something else to make it harder for her to choose. "Pagan and I, well, we're starting our own record label." Jude looked up in surprise.

"Jamie, that's amazing," she said as she gave him a hug.

"I haven't even told you the best part. I want you to be our first producer." He waited anxiously for a response but Jude was silent for a moment.

"Jamie I would love to, I really would, but I'm still wondering what it is that I want to do with my life now. Maybe becoming a producer right after ending my rock star career would be too soon." Jamie looked a little let down. "But I'll think about it," she assured him.

"Okay, well then I guess I'll see you around," he said as he got up and left. Jude went inside and plopped herself on the couch. What was she going to do? If she took Jamie's deal she couldn't go with Tommy to Thailand. But if she went with Tommy she knew Jamie wouldn't give her the same producer opportunity when she got back. It really was just a matter of who she wanted more.

'I know what my heart is telling me, but what if it's wrong? What if I just think that I really do love him but in the end I figure out I made the wrong choice?' Jude had made up her mind. 'I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I tell him that I truly love him the same way that he says he loves me.'
