I know i haven't updated in awhile, but here is the next chapter. Sorry for the wait. Thank you for reviewing, i love reading them!

Jude held the guitar case of her the first guitar she ever had in onw hand, and a bag that held her clothes in the other. All her other guitars and equipment, everything she would ever need, was at G-Major. She took a deep breath, but didn't hesitate to open the big doors that led to the only place she had left. After taking only three steps into the building, she heard a loud voice call her name. It made her jump a little, though she knew Darius was going to be angry.

Darius: "JUDE!"

She set down her guitar and bag by a couch in the lobby, and made her was to his office, and there he was, waiting for her. Along with Liam, Kwest, Portia, and a few others.

Jude: "Hi." She simply said. What else could she say?

Liam: "I'm surprised you had the guts to show up here, Ms.Harrison." She could almost feel the fire from his eyes burn her skin.

Jude: "Why?" Mistake number 1.

Darius: "Why? WHY? Do you have any idea how much money your little picture on the cover of every magazine is going to cost us!" He was furious, and she was surprised smoke hadn't come out of his ears.

Jude: "Not as much as it's going to cost me: My Life." Mistake number 2. But there's only so much a girl can take, you know. She shifted in her seat and only looked at Darius.

Darius: "Right now, G-Major IS your life, so unless you want your life to end right now, i suggest you remember who you're talking to. Your contract ends in a week, i don't have to renew it."

Jude: "Sorry Darius. I'm just a little angry that's all."

Darius: "Don't you tell me about angry."

That's it. The next thing is going to be Mistake number 3, but Jude just wasn't going to sit there. She didn't care who he was, she has lost everything, but she wasn't about to lose her dignity.

Jude: "You don't want ME to tell YOU about angry?" Jude stood up and all eyes were on her. "I'm sick of people thinking that i'm purposely trying to hurt everyone! I'm not trying to push everyone away. I'm not trying to make this mess! You don't know what I've been through for the past month. You don't have the slightest idea!"

Darius: "Don't raise your voice at me, Jude!"

Jude: "I wouldn't have to raise my voice at you, if you wouldn't be so damn insensitive! I came here, because this is the only place I had left. I got kicked out of my house with nowhere to go, and all I have is my music. But now, all i have left is myself... Pathetic, I know. But that's what it's come to, I guess. Just go ahead Darius. Say it." She was tired of crying, but sometimes it's hard to hold back. No matter how much you try.

Everyone looked at Darius who seemed to be lost in thought. "Leave Jude and I alone for a second." They all took one last look at Jude and walked out, closeing the door behind them. Jude slowly sat down, unsure of what to expect. "Your Dad kicked you out of your house?"

Jude: She cleared her throat. "Yeah."

Darius: "Where are you staying?"

Jude: "I don't know. Nowhere at the moment."

Darius: "Listen Jude, I was really debating whether you were worth keeping after this little drunk act you pulled. But i see something in you that i haven't seen in a long time."

Jude: "What?" That was the complete opposite of what she expected for him to say. She was expecting more of 'Leave and never come back,' or 'Are you crazy?' She was caught completely off guard.

Darius: "I do. I haven't seen so much passion in a 17 year-old in my life. It's going to take tons of work for the amount of money we are probably going to lose, so don't make me regret my decision."

Jude: "Oh my God, Darius, are you serious?" He nodded his head and she immediately got up and gave him a huge hug. He laughed at her gesture and she assured him that he won't regret it. She left his office and immediately Kwest walked over to her. "What happened? Are you leaving? Or staying? How mad is he?"

Jude: "Wow, slow down ther Kwest. He just basically told me that he's giving me a second chance, but i better not mess it up."

Kwest: "That's it? After everything you said to him?"

Jude: "Yeah. I'm shocked myself." She suddenly felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She took it out and looked at the Caller ID, and almost dropped her phone. "Oh my God." She didn't know what to do at first. Should she ignore the call? Should she pick up? She was so scared of answering, yet so afraid of not answering.

Montana, Earlier that day...

Tommy walked back into his house, with a cup of juice in one hand, and the mail in the other. He set the mail on the counter and looked through it. He took a sip of the juice as he took out a magazine from a pile. But as soon as he looked at the cover, He completely spit the juice right out of his mouth. "JUDE?" He saw the horrible picture on the cover, set the juice down, and never took his eyes off of the magazine as he walked towards his room. Tommy sat down on the bed as soon as he finished reading it. "She got drunk the night I left?" He asked himself, though he knew the answer. His mind erupted with thoughts of what her family, friends, or G-Major might say. "What if she loses her job?" He reached for his cell phone and dialed a number that he could never forget, yet he hasn't dialed in a long time.

Tommy's POV...

I can't expect her to pick up after so long, can I? She probably still hates me for leaving. But to my surprise, she answers the phone.

: "Hello?" She sounds hesitant, i can hear it in her voice. The voice i missed so much. I immediately started remembering of times that seem like forever ago. I can almost feel her lips on mine again...

Jude: "Tommy? Is that you?"

Tommy: "Yeah. Hi." I stuttered. I knew what was coming next.

Jude: "'Hi?' That's all you have to say?" She sounded sad, rather than angry. Maybe if i choose my words carefully, this won't end too bad.

Tommy: "No it isn't. I have a lot to say, i just don't know how."

Jude: "Why not?"

Tommy: "I... well..."

Jude: "Well...?"

Tommy: "Sometimes it's hard putting feelings into words."

Jude: "Only if you're not sure how you feel."

Tommy: "You're really making this hard on me."

Jude: "Compared to how hard you made things for me when you left? I think this should be a piece of cake."

Tommy: "I had to leave, Jude." I know she is hurting, but truth is, I am too.

Jude: "I know. But did you have to leave with such a pathetic excuse for goodbye? For so long i thought i did something wrong. For such a long time i thought i wasn't good enough."

Tommy: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I never wanted you to think that. I never wanted to leave. And you're right, it was pathetic. But I... you won't understand."

Jude: "Try me."

Tommy: "I know i shouldn't have left like that. But it was hard for me. You have no idea how difficult it was."

Jude: "How hard was it to give me some kind of reason before you just left me?" I can hear the anger in her voice.

Tommy: "I don't know. For me it was!"

Jude: "Why, Tommy! Why do you make things so complicated?"

Tommy: "Because Jude... Answer me this: How do you say bye to someone, you don't want to say bye to?" She was silent, but i can tell she was crying. After a silence that felt like hours, she finally answered.

Jude: "Why did you call me, Quincy?"

Tommy: "I saw your picture in the magazine, so i was worried."

Jude: "Ok, well I'm fine, thanks for calling." I think she actually meant that, considering that she didn't hang up right afterward.

Tommy: "How did everyone take it?" She didn't answer immediately, which scared me, because that meant she was debated whether to tell me or not.

Jude: "Darius has decided to give me a second chance, friends don't look at me the same, but they are being as helpful as they can, and my dad kicked me out."

Tommy: "Your dad kicked you out? Where are you staying?"

Jude: "I don't know. I don't want to talk about that."

Tommy: "Ok."

Jude: "Um... I have to rehearse a song for a performance, I'll talk to you later."

Tommy: "No, Jude, wait. Please."

Jude: "What?"

Tommy: "I miss you."

Jude: "I would have said the same... if you would've called me a few months ago." And with that she hung up. I don't think i'll be able to do this anymore. I don't care what it takes, I'm going back to Jude. Even if i have to take my niece with me. Even if Jude hates me. I don't know how long I'll be able to go without seeing her.

Out of Tommy's POV.
