Summary: After seeing Tommy kiss Sadie at her 18th birthday Jude leaves. But not before saying goodbye to him one last time.

Disclaimer: I don't own Instant Star or sleep tonight by stars

Author's note: The alternate version of chapter three just fits right into the story so there shouldn't be any other alternate chapters. Jude acts like an uber-b and then shows up at his apartment and the story continues from there. Thought i'd clarify since a few people seemed to think this story was going to go two ways, the original and the alternate and it's not... yeah. done rambling now.

We dont want to sleep tonight

Still young like that i count the lines

Beside your mouth that smiles now

My arms reach up as you go down

With buried heads we both forget

All of the past and its regret

Wind picks up, the window shakes

We wont hear the morning break

We stood at the door for a while just standing, me holding her while she cried, while i cried. Finally, our tears had stopped and we slowly made our way into the hotel suite, not just into the entry-way. Jude slid onto the couch while I stretched the kink out of my back, hunching over Jude was harder on the back than it looked.

"Tom?" She said quitely, looking up at me.

"Yeah?"

"Sit with me, like on my 17th birthday." I smiled at the memory and sat down, letting her rest her head on my chest. Before i knew what was going on we were both asleep.

You will cry

And i will cry

Cuz all the love's

Alive tonight

It was the tapping at the window that woke me up, a pigeon's beak, tapping at the window. Jude hadn't even stirred at the sound but it was beginning to drive me nuts. I slowly tried to move without waking her but it didn't work. As soon as i got my arms and chest free her eyes shot open.

Neighbourhoods will try to dream

While you and me we hold and lean

Onto bodies slick and charged

Together just one beating heart

All around us quiet now

We hear the leaves fall to the ground

Morning light upon our bed

An ally while i catch your breath

"Where are you going?" She asked almost shooting off the couch.

"There's a bird at the window, i'm trying to get it to go away." She nodded and sat back down putting her head into her hands.

"You alright Jude?"

"Yeah... no... i don't know." She looked down at her hands as she twiddled her thumbs.I kneeled down in front of her and out my hands on the side of her face.

"What is it Gir..."

Before i could even finish saying her nickname her lips were on mine. I smiled into her lips and kissed her back with everything i had. Before could even think things were getting heated. "Jude?"

"You love me Tom?" She asked in a suprisingly loud voice.

"More than anything."

"Then just... be with me."

You will cry

And i will cry

Cuz all the love's

Alive tonight

You will cry

When I woke up this time i was all alone on the couch. I sat up and looked around the suite trying hard to find Jude. I looked up and saw he ron the balcony wrapped in the throw from the couch,and what exactly was i supposed to cover myself with now? I grabbed a robe from the bathroom and walked toward the balcony as i tied the belt. I stopped dead in my tracks when i heard her cryng softly.

You will cry

And I will cry

Cuz all the love's

Alive tonight

You will cry

"Jude? What's wrong, did i do something else..."

She looked up at me and smiled "No Quincy for the first time ever, these... these are happy tears."

I smiled and wrapped my arm around her shoulders giving her a light kiss on the top of her head. In that exact moment I was happier than i had ever been in my life because i had Jude, completely and utterly to myself without having to worry about everyone else. And as crazy as it may sound i was glad that she had come to New York because if she hadn't then i would have never known what it was to lose her. And if i hadn't lost her, I'd never know the feeling of finding her again.

THE END!!!

What do you guys think?
