A/N: I didn't get any reviews for the last chapter! I hope everyone is still reading this because this chapter is really important. So to those of you who are still reading this, please review!
Jude slammed the door behind her and got out her cell phone. She looked through her address book and saw the number she was looking for. She quickly pushed the call button before she changed her mind.
She waited for him to answer. After three rings she was going to hang up when he answered.
"Hello?" came Tommy's soothing voice.
"Tommy," she said shakily.
"Jude?" he said. He didn't think he would ever hear from her again.
"Hi. I just umm…I really needed to talk to you." She sounded kind of upset.
"Okay. What's wrong?" He was worried about the way her voice sounded, but it was a cell phone so maybe the connection was just bad.
"I, uh…Shay came back here to be my producer."
"What?!" Okay, so maybe she was upset.
"Yeah, and he kind of mentioned that he wanted to get back together with me."
"If he even thinks about that again about my girl…,"
"Tommy, I'm not your girl anymore," Jude said quietly. Tommy stood in his office, embarrassed about what he had just admitted.
"Um, I meant…I meant my former artist." He said quickly. Jude looked down at the floor. She wishes she was his girl again.
"I just don't know anyone else that I can talk to," she said as tears started falling down her cheeks again and she realized how much she really did miss Tommy.
"Don't worry Jude. I'm sure he won't last as a producer."
"I just…I just wish that you were still here producing me." She said the last part quickly hoping he wouldn't catch it. But of course he heard her.
"Jude," he said as he started to really miss her again.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I know you'd rather be up in New York producing your girlfriend, Kelly."
"You know I'd rather be producing you."
"Don't lie to me Tommy! I'm tired of all the lies from every guy I know! What's so hard about being honest?"
"I am being honest! You know that I…,"
"That you what? That you love Kelly but you'd still rather be producing me?"
"That I still love you!" Jude almost dropped her phone.
"Wh...What?"
"It's true Jude. I do still love you and I always have and always will." Jude closed her eyes and let the tears she was still trying to hold in fall.
"I still love you too," she said quietly. "It just really hurt me to know that you have a girlfriend."
"I know Jude. I know that it must have hurt you. But I needed someone without you here with me."
"You could have at least called me every now and then."
"I tried Jude. But I always hung up right before you answered. I couldn't bear to hear your voice and not see you here with me."
"I just…I really miss seeing you every day."
"I know Jude. I miss you too. Maybe someday I can come down to Canada and see you again."
"I hope," she said as she started to calm down.
"Tommy? Can I talk to you for a second?" Jude heard Kelly in the room with Tommy.
"I have to go, but we should talk again soon. And don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine working with Shay as long as you ignore him."
"Shay? As in S to the H to the A to the Y? I love him!" Jude heard Kelly say.
"Well then she can work with him," Jude said as Tommy laughed.
"Talk to you soon?"
"Sure, and Tommy?"
"Yeah?"
"I really do still love you."
"Me too girl. Me too." He said as he hung up. Jude closed her phone and went back out to face Shay.
-------------------------------------------
"Can I talk to you now?" Kelly asked Tommy as he hung up.
"Sure, what's up?"
"Well, umm…it's about that phone call you just had." Tommy could already sense that this was not going to be a very pleasant talk.
"What about it?"
"Was it Jude Harrison?"
"Yeah…"
"Then what I thought is true. I heard that whole conversation."
"You were listening in on my conversation?"
"Well, I came to ask you something, but you were on the phone. So I just kind of over heard it."
"So…"
"So I want to talk to you about it so. I heard everything you said. Every word and I have to say, I thought that you told me that she would never be talking to you again."
"I did say that, but then she had a problem that she wanted to talk to me about."
"And what would that problem be?" she asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Shay came back to be her producer."
"How's that a problem?" she asked, unconvinced.
"Didn't you hear about the big break up they had at Jude's sweet sixteenth party?"
"Yeah, but that was along time ago. Shouldn't she be over that by now?"
"She is, but he said that he wants to hook back up with her."
"So why is she talking to you about this?"
"Because…," he wanted to say because he knew everything that had happened at her party, but he didn't want her to get suspicious so, "Because I helped her get through her break up."
"Whatever," said Kelly as she glared at him. "I also thought you said we had a chance."
"We do."
"Then what was that whole last part of your conversation about?" she asked as tears started to from behind her eyes.
"I just…,"
"You just told her that you still love her, that's all."
"Well I…,"
"I don't care what you have to say anymore! You obviously have never and will never get over Jude Harrison!"
"I can't help what I feel Kelly! It just seems to be a problem with you!"
"Yeah, it is! So we're through here and I'm asking for a new producer!"
"Well that's fine with me because I wasn't lying when I said that I still love Jude!" Kelly started crying and ran out of the room. Tommy sighed and went to go and sit as his desk.
'Now what have I done? I could have just told her something nicer. Now I need a new artist. Or maybe I can be transferred back to Canada? Hmm…'
-------------------------------------------
The next day Jude walked out of her house and decided to check the mail. She quickly looked through the stack of normal bills until she saw a letter addressed to her from New York.
"Tommy?" she wondered as she went back inside.
-------------------------------------------
Tommy walked out of his apartment and went to his mail box that he had downstairs. He quickly scanned all of his bills when his eyes caught a letter that was from Canada.
"Jude?" he wondered as he slowly walked backup to his apartment.
-------------------------------------------
Jude left all of the rest of the mail on the kitchen counter and then walked up to her room and closed the door as she started to rip open the letter. It wasn't from Tommy, but from the G-Major up in New York. She wondered curiously about why they would send her a letter as she read:
Dear Ms. Harrison,
We are sorry to announce that Mr. Tom Quincy has been murdered last night. We are still investigating as to how this has happened, but we are almost positive that it was a murder. We are very sorry to inform you of this sad news, but we hope that if you have any information on this to please contact us. We know that you and Mr. Quincy were close at one point in time. Once again we are very sorry and send our highest sympathy to you.

Jude dropped the letter on the floor and almost fell to the ground.
"Wh…What?"
-------------------------------------------
Tommy walked back into his apartment and left the rest of his mail on the couch as he ripped open the letter from Canada. The first thing he noticed was that it wasn't from Jude, but from G-Major.
'Maybe Jude convinced them to let me go back up there,' he thought as he started to read the letter.
Dear Mr. Quincy,
We are very sorry to inform you that Ms. Jude Harrison has been murdered last night. We are still trying to investigate how this has happened, but we are almost positive that it was a murder. We are very, very sad to inform you of this terrible news, but we are hoping that if you have any information on this to please contact us. We know that you and Ms. Harrison were close. Once again we are all very sorry and send all of our sympathy to you.
Sincerely,

Tommy dropped the letter and stood stock still. He couldn't even think straight.
"Wh…What? Jude? Dead? Murdered?"
