A/N: This is a new story that just kind of popped into my head one night. Anyway, the first chapter is not what it seems. I'll explain in the second chapter, but for now just relax and read. And don't forget to read and review!

Jude was shaking uncontrollably as she waited behind the curtains. For a whole week straight she had been crying, nonstop. She hadn't been sleeping at all either and she barely ate anything at all, but the worst part of the week was when she had to visit G-Major the day right after…well, she didn't want to think about it, but it was the only thing she could think about since Sunday, and in a few minutes time she would have to relive that fateful morning.

'Jude, honey?" someone called her name and touched her shoulder, she flinched horribly.

"Yeah?" she replied, turning her tear stained face around to see an almost equally tear stained faced Georgia.

"We need you to go out there now. You have to make your…speech…now." Jude stared at Georgia and felt like crying again. "Oh Jude!" she said, stepping forward and giving her a tight embrace. "I know how you must feel. You of all people have the right to cry and sulk. I know how you felt about…Tommy," she said quietly, trying to hold back tears but failing miserably as they started to fall from her glossy eyes.

"I…I…I loved him!" she stuttered, breaking down entirely. Georgia held on to her and cried too. Then E.J. walked over and broke up the sad scene.

"Jude!" she yelled. "We needed you on stage 3 minutes ago! Georgia I thought you were going to get her! Not make her cry more! Come on!" Tearing the two apart, she ushered Jude onstage.

Jude froze as soon as the shelter of the curtains was gone. Lights flashed and Jude felt very exposed and self-conscious. "Go!" E.J whispered.

Jude walked awkwardly to the podium and stared out into the crowd. The one person she needed most right now, Tommy of course, wasn't there to support her. It was then that it hit her the most. Tommy was really gone, and he was never coming back.

"Umm…," she said awkwardly. She never used to get stage fright before. "I…um…well I guess I'm here to tell the public what I know about what happened to…um…Tommy," she said, still shaking with misery and despair. "The only thing I know about what happened was that it definitely was a murder and the last person to actually seem him before he was stabbed was Portia."

After saying all of that Jude felt like a huge weight had just been lifted off of her, but some knots still remained in her stomach. Suddenly someone in the audience stood up. Jude squinted her eyes to see who it was. It was Portia and, from what Jude could see, she did not look in the least bit happy, but rather, she looked furious.

"That's a lie!" she yelled as all eyes turned away from Jude and on to her. "I know for a fact that the last person Tommy actually saw and talked to was Jude Harrison herself!" All eyes turned back onto Jude.

"I'll admit that I was the very last person to actually see and talk to him," Jude was getting braver by the second, "But when I got to his house he was already bleeding on the ground and all he said to me was to call 911." Now her bravery was decreasing fast as she got a vision of seeing Tommy lying there on the floor, bleeding to death. The tears in her eyes started to fill up again.

"How do we know that you didn't first stab him and then called the police just to cover up what you did?'

"First of all, why would I even want to kill Tommy? Things were fine between us. And second of all, I have proof that Portia was there just before me because as soon as I got to Tommy's door, she was just walking out." Jude finished without one tear falling down her face, but, well, here they came pouring out again.

Suddenly another person stood up in the audience, but this time it was Sadie. "I just want to say that Jude, my sister, left pretty early that morning and it would be hard to believe that someone was at Tommy's house any early then when Jude would have arrived. So I'm pretty much on Portia's side on this one."

Jude looked at her sister in shock. How could she betray her that easily? How could her own sister tell the whole world practically, that she murdered Tom Quincey when she knew how much Jude cared and loved him? Something was not right here.

Then a third and final person stood up. Jamie. Maybe he would stick up for Jude.

"Look, everybody I've known Jude since forever and I have to say that she doesn't in any way seem to be the kind of person to murder someone. And even if she was that type of person, she wouldn't kill Tommy Q. She loved him too much!"

'Finally!' Jude thought. Someone how seems to notice how much I love… I mean loved…Tom Quincy!' Everyone was staring Jamie as he smiled nervously. After a few moments, Georgia walked onto the stage and started talking.

"I think this press conference is over," she said.

"I don't think so!" yelled Portia. "I still think that Jude Harrison murdered Tom Quincy!"

"So do I!" yelled Sadie.

"How could you!' yelled a girl in the audience. She was sitting with a bunch of other girls who were holding up a sign that read: We love you Tommy Quincy and we will never forget you!

"I swear I didn't," Jude yelled as the audience got louder.

"How could you!" she heard Sadie yell.

"This is too much!" she told Georgia and she ran off the stage.

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

Jude ran into the parking lot. She was almost at her car when someone grabbed her wrist. She screamed and tried to get herself free when Spied turned her around.

"Calm down!" he yelled, as I stopped screaming. "It's only me! Gosh, I didn't think my face scared you that much!"

"I'm sorry Spied," she said as she gave him a hug. "It's just that right now is sooo crazy. My own sister turned against me!"

"I know," he said as he motioned for everyone to come closer. Jude didn't notice him do this because they were still hugging each other and they were behind her. "I saw and heard the whole thing Jude and I have just got to say that I…have sooo caught you!"

"What!" Jude quickly turned around and saw a bunch of people coming towards her. On instinct she ran to her car, jumped in, and drove away as fast as she could.

She was so scared that she didn't notice Portia jump right in front of her car. By the time Jude saw her it was too late. She heard an earsplitting scream and that was the end of Portia.
