I don't own When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne and Bye Bye by Mariah Carey…..
Unspoken Thoughts
The bomb squad moved cautiously towards the car. Jude was scared to death and wished Tommy was there. One of the bomb squad members took a closer look at the bomb. "It's a fake" yelled the guy over his shoulder.
"Are you sure?" Scott yelled back. He didn't want to make any sudden moves.
"Yeah" they guy yelled removing the fake bomb from underneath the car.
Scott rushed over to pull Jude out the car. She was relieved that it was a fake but all of a sudden she became worried. She searched and searched but didn't see the face she was looking for. She returned her attention to Scott.
"Where is Tommy?" Scott looked around and noticed Tommy had not made it yet.
"I though he would be here by now" Scott replayed his last conversation he had with Tommy to Jude. She was in full panic mode now. Jude took Scott's cell phone and dialed Tommy's number. It went straight to voicemail. This did nothing to calm her down.
Tommy and Darius were stuck in traffic. An officer was directing traffic up ahead. When they got to the front of the line the officer had them go right instead of left which was taking them in the opposite direction of the airport. They drove on the rode for 5 minutes until they noticed a car behind them. The car sped up and hit them from behind. Then another car sped up to get in front of them, once the car was far enough ahead it came to a stop causing Darius to stop also. Once the car was stopped men appeared at their doors with guns.
Jude walked into her place hoping Tommy would be there waiting for her but no such luck. She was really worried especially after she found out who had betrayed them. It was hard to say his name even harder to think about him. She had to put him in the back of her mind because Tommy was in trouble. She grabbed her phone and called Scott to see if he had anything but he didn't.
Jude told him to keep her posted and he told her he was having officers stand guard at her place. Jude had to relax so she went upstairs and started to run some water for a bath. Once it was filled she stripped and got in. In the tub she let her mind wondered to just 24 hours before her life was turned upside down again.
Flashback
Jude came back into her room with the note in hand. Tommy says that Jude was in deep thought.
"Jude baby what's wrong" Jude handed him the note. Tommy read it and instinctively he wrapped her in his arms. Jude started to laugh which took him off guard. "What's so funny?"
"I am tired of him controlling my life. I am going to take matters into my own hands" Jude stated proudly. She kissed Tommy while he laid them back on the bed. This was a new start to the life of Jude Harrison.
End of flashback
The phone ringing in the distance is what brought Jude back to reality. She stood up, grabbed a towel, and dashed for the phone lying next to her bed. She answered it hoping it was Tommy or Scott with good news but it was Sadie.
"Hey Jude I just wanted to make sure you are ok" she could tell that she was concerned about her but Jude had other things on her mind. She did not have time to talk to Sadie.
"Yeah I am fine but look Sadie I don't really feel like talking right now sorry" Jude felt bad for cutting their conversation short but she knew she would not focus on a thing Sadie was talking about.
"Oh ok. I guess I will talk to you later" Jude could hear the hurt in Sadie's voice but she just shrugged it off.
"Yeah ok Sadie bye" Jude hung up before Sadie said another word.
She threw on a pair of sweats and a t shirt, and then she went and emptied her tub. This was going to be a long night for her. Just as Jude had suspected, it was a long night. Jude was having nightmares about Tommy. Every time something good would happen it would change to showing Tommy dead. She would awake screaming Tommy's name only to remember that he was gone. The officer at her door would hear her scream and rushed in to see that it was only a bad dream. Jude didn't get any sleep because her mind was to busy worrying about Tommy. Scott came over bright and early to tell her that they had no new leads.
Tommy awoke in a darkened room. Darius he called out but received no response. Maybe he is still out of it. Tommy carefully walked the room in search for Darius but he wasn't in the room. Where the hell is he and where the hell am I? Tommy slumped down a wall thinking about everything that happened before he woke up. He remembered the guys knocking them out but that's all. Tommy knew he wasn't going anywhere so he got lost in his mind thinking about Jude. He wondered if he will ever see her again. He remembered the first time he met her.
Flashback
Tommy knew they were getting a new artist today. Darius had a meeting to tell everyone and to let him know he was producing her. The only thought going through his head was "hope she can sing". He waited anxiously to meet her. The doors of G-Major opened and in walked the most gorgeous blonde Tommy had ever laid eyes on. He surveyed her closely and could tell she had something to hide.
She also looked scared, timid, and broken. He wondered why she looked so hurt. He carefully walked over to her so he could introduce himself.
"Hi I am Tommy you must be Jude" Jude looked at him a little weary. She didn't know if she could trust him or not. Tommy saw this so he continued on "I am your producer." She still didn't let her guard down but gave him a small smile anyways. This nearly made Tommy take her right then and there. He composed himself before speaking again.
"How about we go into the studio and you show me what you got" once again Jude was a little hesitant but followed none the less. Tommy stared at how beautiful she looked; he just hoped she could sing.
"Do you have a song to sing?" Jude nodded. He didn't bother to ask her the title noticing she was not in the mood to talk. She walked over to the piano and waited for him to tell her to start. He counted her down and she began. Her voice filled the booth and Tommy was shocked. Her voice was angelic but he could hear her pain behind the lyrics.
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cried
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
They lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it ok
I miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me
Yeah
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it ok
I miss you
When Jude finished she had tears in her eyes. Tommy knew then that he wanted to help her and protect her for as long as he lived.
End of Flashback
Tommy smiled at the memory that was the day he fell in love with her. He had to get out of there and make his way back to Jude the love of his life.
Jude not knowing what was going on was driving her crazy. She was getting lost in thoughts.
Flashback
Jude was finishing up her new song. Tommy sent her off to write. They were finishing up her second album. Darius was bugging them about a new album after her first one went double platinum. She was slowly but surely coming around to trusting people. The only one's she truly trusted so far was Darius because he knew everything and Tommy because he didn't pry into her past life. She finished her song and made her way back to the studio.
She was about to enter but noticed someone talking on the phone. She could not hear what was being said but she didn't like the tone of voice. Before he hung up she heard "yes I will stick to the plan." What plan Jude thought. But before she could think more Tommy was by her side.
"Have a new song?" He asked as he stood next to her. Jude looked to Tommy and forgot about what she just heard. She nodded and they went in to record.
"What's the song title?" Tommy asked through the intercom.
"Bye Bye" Jude said as Tommy nodded and started to count down. Jude started to sing.

Jude knew she had to say her final goodbye because she knew she couldn't hide it anymore. She had to move on because she was starting to have feelings for Tommy. This song was hard for her to sing but she had to.
End of Flashback
Jude eyes widened in realization, he gave her a warning then that he was not to be trusted but she forgotten that detail. The one question that still bothered her was why. Why did he betray them all? Yes he said it was strictly business but she wanted answers and she was determined to get them one way or another.
It felt like hours to him. No one had been in to make sure he didn't escape, not like he could anyways. He wondered how Darius was doing and if Jude was ok. But one question was why he would do this to them. Know that he did enraged Tommy, how could his best friend of 10 years turn his back on him. How could Kwest betray him and put the woman he loved in jeopardy. Tommy's heart also broke at the thought of his best friend' betrayal.
