A/N: So this is my third story I have written a one-shot called "Girlfriend", and my other story, "Listen to ur heart" is on a hiatus until inspiration strikes. This came to me as I was listening to "Apologize" by One Republic. This will most likely be a 2 or 3 shot. I now have time to write since AP tests are over so I'm stoked. Anyways I do not own Instant Star otherwise Jude would forget Jamie ever existed and ride away with Tommy into the sunset.

" Jude Please! Stop!" Tommy yelled across the parking lot of G-Major to the stunning 20-year-old rock star.

Jude picked up her pace and ran to her BMW roadster. She felt like the same old naive girl she always felt like around the one guy she had trusted and loved. She opened her car door and slammed it shut slamming the keys in the ignition and starting the car.

As she was about to peel out, Tommy stood with his hands on the back of her car not letting her back out.

"Can you just fucking listen for once in your life?!" Tommy yelled at her.

"I have no reason to listen to you Quincy! You said everything you had to say two years ago. Or have you forgot? I sure as hell haven't. Now move or I will flatten your boybander ass."

Tommy couldn't believe her. Since when was his girl such a firecracker? Duh Quincy you left, she isn't yours anymore you gave that right up a long time ago. Tommy let out an exasperated sigh and pushed himself away from her car. Jude turned her radio on and blasted it before speeding out of the parking lot.

"That went well." Tommy said out loud to himself and walked back inside G-Major.

Jude stepped inside her condo and slammed the door shut and threw her keys on the counter. I can't believe him! Where the hell did he get the nerve to come back her? Jude sat down on her couch and leaned forward putting her face in her hands. As She did this, the ring that she kept on a silver chain fell out of her shirt and hung loosely in front of her. Jude peered down and took the ring in her hand and mindlessly rubbed it as she always did when she was frustrated. She thought back to the night where everything had changed.

2 Years earlier….

"I'm Leaving." Tommy had said staring at the ground in the empty sound booth.

"What?" Jude had replied her eyes trying to scan Tommy's for any sign of remorse or doubt.

Everyone was outside celebrating her third album's release and the fact that in the last 24 hours it had already sold 10,000 copies. At the age of 18 she had released 3 albums one of which had gone platinum and this one was on the same road and Darius thought it would go triple. While Jude was speaking to Jamie about something she had felt the familiar warm fingers wrap around her arm and Tommy's husky voice asking to speak to her in private.

Both had barely spoken a word to each other since the encounter with Hunter. Tommy would walk around G-Major like a ghost and since he was no longer producing Jude there was no reason for them to see each other. Jude wanted nothing more than to wrap her arms around him everyone time they would pass each other in the halls. He seemed so loss and she wanted to help him.

But Tom Quincy was impossible to save.

She had learned to accept that.

"I have to leave Jude, there's nothing left here for me than broken memories."

He had finally looked her in the eyes but was careful to keep his distance for any contact with her would surely make him lose his nerve.

Jude chewed mindlessly on her bottom lip trying to find some rhyme or reason to make him stay for not only her own selfish reasons.

"What about G-Major? You're an amazing producer Tommy you can't just throw that away."

" Music means less to me since I can't work with- I mean Karma's album is done so I don't have anymore artists right now." Tommy stopped himself from saying the real reason for his misgivings about music. The truth was producing only meant something when he was working with Jude.

"Oh…okay where are you going?" Jude asked without any real interest.

Tommy ran a hand through his hair, "Probably Montreal I have a house there."

"When are you leaving?"

"Tonight, after the Party."

Jude felt the tears welling in her eyes willing them not to fall. Tommy saw a stray tear fall even when she quickly wiped it away. He unconsciously took a step towards her as if to embrace her but stopped himself at the last second.

"Girl please don't-"

"Don't what Tommy? Don't love you?! I'm sorry I didn't know that I got a choice in that. Damn it, I promised myself I wouldn't do this anymore." Jude spat harshly forgetting her attempt to show no vulnerability to Tommy.

Tommy stepped forward not being able to bear Jude's crying which he had never gotten use to over the years. He placed his warm fingertips on her damp cheek making her look up into his blue orbs. "I don't deserve you Jude. Look at what happened with Hunter, All I do is cause the people I love pain. And I never, never want to do that to you again."

Jude pushed Tommy's hand off her cheek and took a step back.

"What about me? You're just going to leave me here by myself again? Don't I get a say in this?"

"No." he simply stated.

Jude let out a sob and turned away from him. She couldn't believe after everything they had gone through he was going to throw it all away. With her back still to him she calmly exhaled.

"Then Leave, what's holding you back obviously not me."

Tommy strode forward and grabbed Jude's arm to turn her around. Jude didn't fight it and held her arms around herself.

"I'm sorry Jude but it's the only way I can ever give you a chance at happiness." Tommy choked out trying not to let his emotions get the best of him.

"Whatever Tommy, just don't expect me to wait for you, I've been doing that for too long as it is. I hope you have a good life and can learn to forgive yourself you're the only one that can do that."

Jude looked back down at the floor and let another tear drop. Tommy wordlessly walked towards her and softy placed his lips to her forehead. And leaned in towards her ear.

"I will love you always and forever, only you."

With that he walked out of the sound booth and to his viper to drive away from everything he knew and the one person he loved more than his own life.

Meanwhile...

Jude stood in the sound booth trying not to crumble when she looked on the soundboard a velvet box was sitting there.

She reached out to grab it and contemplated even opening it. Letting her curiosity get the best of her she slowly opened it and let out a gasp as she saw what was inside.

It was a star ring similar to the one she owned but it was encrusted with diamonds on a platinum band. Jude looked on the inside of the band and I elegant writing it said, " Forever my star, the one who guides me. I love you Tommy."

Jude put her hand to her mouth and trying to suppress her sobs but it was too late she laid on the ground with the ring pressed in the palm of her hand.

Things had definitely changed since that horrible night. She was living her life for herself, she had become more successful than she had ever dreamt of and she was doing it with out Tommy. Jude snapped back to reality when she heard a knock on her door. She half –heartedly walked across the room and opened the door.

"We need to talk."

Please review even if it is to say that sucked either way I'm happy with feedback. next chapter out pretty soon.
