Okay So my initial thoughts for this story are in order, and I hope you like them, but among all of my ideas I need a few more plot twists so, for this chapter in your reviews some plot twists would be appreciated. Thanks so much for all the feedback on the last chapter. I thought it was good and im glad you did too!
I will have another chapter up sometime next week so look out for that, now, back to the one, the only Jommy!
"Tommy?" Jude asked as Tommy guided her down the stairs after him.
When they reached the bottom of the staircase he stopped, "Yeah?"
Jude took a deep breath, "Well I was wondering, since, you don't know how long you're in London maybe we could take some time on this song, make it perfect and that way we could talk more about," Jude paused, she licked her lips parting her mouth, looking down, she flipped her bangs looking back up, "Us."
Tommy looked a little surprised, "We'll take all the time you want girl, I don't need to be anywhere." He said gently rubbing her cheek with just two of his fingers, and gave her a signature side smile. "Does that mean no instruments today?"
Jude thought for a second and when she looked up at him she nodded a yes and said, "I just wanted to talk to you today, really TALK to you."
Tommy smiled and grabbed her hand, leading her to the couch and jumping over the top, "Well then, lets, talk." He said rubbing the spot next to him. Jude jumped over the couch following in Tommy's example. "Well Harrison, what exactly do you have to say?" Tommy said smiling putting his arm on the back of the couch turning his body a little more towards her.
Jude looked down, then she lifted one of her legs off the ground and positioned it on the couch, slightly more turned towards Tommy she looked up and asked, "Why couldn't we make it work?" She stated bluntly.
Tommy looked at her and thought for a second responding with, "I don't think we couldn't make it work, I just think, the timing was always off, so eventually I figured we have to make our own timing." he said smiling sweetly at her.
She looked down thinking about what he had just said, "So your saying that it would have worked if we wanted it to?"
"Basically, yeah, but stuff was so hectic and you had to make yourself happy before we could be happy." Tommy said his smile fading a little more to make the tension more vulnerable.
Jude was so weak around him, she had no guard near him, she never did, Tommy was the only person who made her so naive. Jude never expected even after London seeing him again would bring raw emotions to the surface. Tommy reached for her hand and gently rubbed it, "Its okay though, you made the right choice, and don't ever doubt that, don't ever doubt putting your own happiness over for someone else."
"But you're the one that said the money and charts fade, that I have to care about my family and my loved ones." Jude said tears forming in her eyes now, ten months and she was having the conversation she dreaded, she thought she could handle it but even after 10 months it was still painful. Jude loved him, he was the love of her life, or is?
Tommy didn't know what to say anymore, he hated seeing her cry, he hated it more when he was the one that made her cry. Most of the time he was, he had broken her heart more in 3 years than anyone else in a lifetime. Jude had a hard life especially when she was in the music industry, it seemed that had tore her family apart. "Look, Jude, I know I told you that, and its true, family is more important than anything else in the world, and to some people, love is too, but Jude music is your life. You said it yourself, and you love it enough to put that before love, and there is nothing wrong with that, girl, at your age, I would have done the same exact thing." Tommy said still holding Jude's hand, comforting her.
Jude's mind was overwhelmed, she couldn't think straight, between Tommy and music and her family, she missed her family together and happy, she couldn't remember the last time her entire family was happy at once. Jude wanted to make music, she wanted to grow and explore in London, but with growing and exploring her inspiration was lost. Jude ruffled her hair in the back, " I know, I do love music, and even if I made the right choice by you, its doesn't feel right. I know, I love music, its my life, but I cant live just on music, I want everything back, back to how it used to be." Jude said tears streaming down her face.
"Please don't cry, life wont ever go back to normal unless you have a time machine, but you don't, so as possibly the most amazing girl said once, 'life is short, you wanna happy one, you gotta grab it.' Jude the only way you can be happy is if you make yourself happy." Tommy said softly barely above a whisper.
His voice made Jude want to cry, how could she have left him? She couldn't believe it, all he ever wanted was to protect her, he wasn't very good at it but that all he ever wanted. She gently took her hand from him and wiped her tears from her eyes, she smiled sweetly at Tommy, "Thanks." She whispered.
"I'll always be here for you girl." Tommy said putting his hand on her knee to show her he meant every word. Jude smiled and placed her hand on his.
For the next couple of hours Jude and Tommy talked about old times occasionally mentioning a romantic encounter. Jude felt comfortable around Tommy again she no longer felt helpless around him. "We should go, out." She said giving him a mysterious look.
Tommy returned a curious one, then suddenly he remembered, "When's the last time you saw Mason Fox?" He asked.
"Wow, umm, the night you left at my sophomore album release party." Jude answered a little surprised at the question.
"Well, when we were walking around yesterday I noticed a poster for a concert, Mason is playing downtown today at 7, wanna go?" Tommy asked with a big smile on his face.
"Are you kidding?! Of coarse, I haven't seen Mason is forever, but wait don't you need tickets?" Jude asked excitedly.
Tommy kept grinning at her, "That's why we could go now, and maybe you being famous and all will get us some perks."
"Oh yeah, like people have forgotten Little Tommy Q from Boyz Attack." Jude said doing 'The Grab' from the boyz attack dance to pick up the pieces.
"I still do it better." Tommy laughed doing 'The Grab' properly.
Jude rolled her eyes jokingly, "Whatever Quincy its still a cheesy boy band dance, come one lets go!" she said grabbing Tommy off the couch, grabbing her coat and her bag and pulling them both out the door.
Jude and Tommy walked to a small bar with a large stage taking up half of the building, Jude managed to bribe the guard with a couple of autographs, Tommy was amazed. She also managed to her them back stage passes. They walked backstage showing security their passes, Jude quickly ran up to who she knew was Mason.
Jude knew it was him, he was the only one backstage with cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and a guitar. She ran up behind him and slightly yelled over all the noise, "Guess who?!" Jude was getting really excited.
Tommy couldn't help but laugh at her, he always loved her enthusiasm.
Mason turned around, he couldn't believe his eyes, "As I live and breathe JUDE HARRISON!" He said hugging her, squeezing her after all the time he hadn't seen her. "Wow, how did you get here? Who are you with? Wow I cant believe it! Its so good to see you!"
Jude grinned bigger than she could remember, "I live here now! Yeah after my contract with G-major was up I moved here and signed with a new label, I live not far from here. I came with Tommy."
"I should have known, he couldn't wait until you were 18." Mason said smiling uncontrollably.
"No, we are just friends, I want to take it slow." Jude said.
Mason gave her a questioning look, "Taking it slow, Jude I don't mean to get Jedi on you now but, you guys are like perfect, don't let that fade because you wanted to take it slow."
Jude smiled sweetly this time at Mason, "Look, I know, plenty of time to talk about this later, we can go out after the show all three of us," She motioned to Tommy to come over to them, "I have another bedroom if you need somewhere to stay."
Mason smiled as Tommy came up to him holding out a hand for shaking, "Good to see you again man."
"Likewise." Mason answered, "Sure but I gotta leave tomorrow and I have a hotel booked already, but we can go out after the show. Jude, Tommy, what would you say about coming on stage with me?"
Jude grinned and pleadingly looked at Tommy, "Alright, what do you want us to sing?" Tommy said, he couldn't resist Jude anymore.
"Well I'll take out two of my songs form the showcase and me and Jude will do Who am I fooling and then you and Jude can sing, Here we go again." Mason said grabbing his stage manager and his manager filling him in on the news.
Jude looked at mason surprised, "I cant believe it you know that song?"
"Just because I haven't seen you, doesn't mean I haven't kept up with your music, My return, by the way, good choice on remixing." Mason said.
Jude just laughed a little embarrassed about My Turn the first time around.
"Mason on in 5" A man with a head-mic said holding up his hand with 5 fingers erect.
"Well, I guess I will keep it a surprise, but I gotta go, see you soon." Mason said walking away further backstage.
Jude turned to Tommy and grinned, she wrapped her arms around him, "Thank you Thank you Thank you so so much. You have no idea how grateful I am."
"Anything for you." Tommy said sweetly. Jude smiled at his response and kissed him on the cheek. Tommy didn't know how much more he could take. After being so close to her and not having her he took the first step to loosing it. But Tommy Q would never let that show.
