A/N: Here's the sequel to The Diary Connection. I hope it's as good as the original, or maybe better. Hope you all enjoy and please review!
It had been a month since the last time anyone had seen James. Everyone was beginning to wonder if the threat he had proclaimed a month ago was just that, a threat. Then something happened that changed everyone's mind.
Jude was going out to her car, she was going to meet Tommy at the studio to record her new song, but she never made it to the studio. And this is where the threat became reality.
When she stepped out of her house she noticed him standing by her car, just standing there and smiling as if all of this was just a joke, just some kind of joke that would all come to an end soon and maybe sooner than anyone expected.
"It's been a while," he said as Jude walked up to him. At first she just stared at him, thinking about what he might be doing there. "Oh don't worry," he said as she looked at him silently. "I won't be here long. I know that you're on your way to meet Tom Quincy at G-Majors, right?"
"How do you know where I'm going?' she asked carefully.
"I've been watching you Jude, closely, very closely. I know everything about what you've done for the last month. I know more than you probably know yourself." He smiled again as Jude stepped back a little.
"Why are you here?" she asked thinking about what she had been doing for the last month.
"I told you a month ago, I'm not the type to give up easily."
"Give up on what?" she asked as he stared at her still smiling.
"Revenge," he said easily as he walked toward her. Jude stepped back again.
"I don't know what you're talking about," she said as she ran back into her house. The first thing she did was call Tommy.
"I don't think so," said a voice behind her. She spun around quickly to see James standing there.
"How did…?"
"You have a backdoor," he said as he took the phone out of her hands. "A backdoor that wasn't locked may I add."
"What did I do? Why do you want revenge on me?" she said as she started to worry.
"Oh I think you know what you did," he said as he grinned uncontrollably. Jude stared at him blankly. "You, you my dear, are a murderer."
"What? I never killed anybody in my life!" she claimed as he stepped closer to her.
"You sure?" he asked as Jude stood in shock.
-------------------------------------------
Tommy stood in the studio at G-Major wondering where Jude could be. She was already half an hour late. Then an idea came to him. What if James had gone through with his threat? What if James was at Jude's house now?
"Hey Tom," Kwest called as he came into the room.
"Yeah, what's up?" he said as he looked at Kwest with a worried face.
"Jude just called and said that she's sick and can't come in today." Tommy let the breath he was holding out.
"Okay, then I guess I'll be going home early today."
"Are you okay?" Kwest asked as he noticed Tommy relax.
"Yeah, I just thought that maybe…"
"I know dude. We all worry about her after that threat. But I think that it was just an empty threat. Don't worry so much. It's been a whole month." Tommy nodded as he left the studio unaware that what he was thinking was actually true.
-------------------------------------------
Jude closed her laptop and looked at the time. It was three o' clock in the morning and she had an early recording time tomorrow. She sighed as she put her laptop to the side and turned out the lights. Lately she had been so busy in the studio she barely had enough time to try and write the sequel to her story. G-Major had really been keeping her busy lately.
She tossed and turned through the night wondering what Tommy and Darius would say when she told them again that she didn't have a new song. She just seemed to have a long case of writer's block, at least a block from writing songs.
She sighed again as she tried to fall asleep. 'Tomorrow is going to be a long day, but at least it'll be one day closer to my eighteenth birthday,' she thought to herself. Her birthday would be exactly one week away tomorrow. And even though turning eighteen would be great, something about it troubled her. And that was the fact that at eighteen she would be an adult, and that should mean that she could finally express her feelings to Tommy, or could she. She was always confused as to what was going on with them. She just wished that they could work everything out already.
-------------------------------------------
Jude got to G-Major the next morning feeling like she hadn't slept at all, which she really hadn't.
"So anything new this morning?" Tommy asked as Jude wearily slumped into the studio.
"That depends, does part of a song count?" she asked as she sat next to him.
"Not if it's the same part you had yesterday," Jude avoided his eyes. "Come on Jude! You really need to focus and stop thinking about your story!"
"For your information I barely started on my story last night, and I can't help it if I have song writer's block!"
"What is going on in here?!" Darius said as walked into the room.
"Why don't you ask Jude?" Tommy said as he shook his head at Jude.
"Jude, do you have a new song this morning?" he asked already knowing the answer.
"Well I…"
"Jude you really need a new song. You haven't given me a song in a month and your next album is supposed to be coming out soon."
"I know D, I know. I just don't seem to have any inspiration lately," she said as she looked at Tommy.
"Well you can't leave today until I have a new song recorded."
"What?" Tommy and Jude said simultaneously.
"Sorry T, but I really need that new song." Tommy sighed. "And you Jude, I suggest you start getting some inspiration somehow," he said as he left.
"Great," said Jude as he left, "Another long night."
"So just tell me one thing," Tommy said as he turned to look at her.
"What?" she said as she stared back at him.
"Why did you look at me when you said you haven't had any inspiration lately?" Jude turned away from him.
"I don't know."
"Was it just a sudden impulse?"
"You wish," she said as she looked back at him. He shrugged.
"So where do you expect to get your 'inspiration' from?" he said as he turned away from her.
"My writing," she said as she took out her laptop.
"Your story?" he asked skeptically.
"Yup," she said as he stared at her. "There's a lot of drama in here. Maybe something will come to me from it."
"Yeah, or you just want to write," Jude smirked as she opened her laptop.
-------------------------------------------
"So did you tell him?" James asked as she hung up the phone and he took it from her again. She nodded as he smiled at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked as she looked up at him.
"Who do you think I murdered?" she asked calmly.
"First of all I don't think you murdered someone, I know you did. And second, you killed my brother."
"How could you even consider for a second that I murdered your brother, I loved Jamie!"
"Not the way he loved you!" he shot back.
"I loved Jamie as a friend. I can't help what I feel," she said clearly.
"Well neither could my brother, but you had to kill him for it! How could you even show your face at his funeral?!" he said shakily.
"Just calm down," she said as she touched his arm.
"Don't touch me," he said darkly. "Don't you ever touch me." Jude drew her hand back quickly. "This is not over," he said dangerously. "This is just the beginning," he said as he walked towards the door. "And if you try and go anywhere today, you'll pay because I'll be watching you." Jude held her breath as he left. Quickly she grabbed the phone and called Tommy.
-------------------------------------------
Tommy's cell rang just as he walked into his house. He looked at the caller ID and was surprised that it was Jude.
"Hello?" he said as he heard sobs. "Jude are you alright?" he said as he heard her take a deep breath.
"I'm not sick," she said quietly.
"So then why weren't you in the studio?" he asked starting to worry again.
"Look I'll explain everything later, I just really need you over here now."
"Okay I'll be right there, just hang on."
"Please hurry," she said as she hung up and started cry again. She hated how she could never be normal, she hated how she had she was always so weak in these kinds of situations, and she especially hated how she had a crazy stalker, again.
-------------------------------------------
"So anything jumping out at you?" Tommy asked as he interrupted her writing. Jude looked up at him.
"Not really," she said as she closed her laptop. "I just don't know why I have this stupid block," she said as she sighed.
"I think I have an idea," he said as he stood up and walked towards her. She stared at him as he smiled. Then she got the hint.
