"Since the first time I saw you. I couldn't seem to forget you. And lately I seem to find. That I can't get you off my mind. I'm so happy when I'm around you. And I thank god that I found you. At first I thought you'd be a really good friend. Until I realized that my feelings there didn't end." Cora sang into the microphone.

Jude continued her part of the song, "I was so afraid to tell you... Cause I didn't know what you'd do."

Tommy hit his mic button, "Wanna try that again Jude?"

Jude shot him an annoyed look, "Sure..."

"I was so afraid to tell you... Cause I didn't know what you'd do." Jude sang.

Tommy hit the button, "Again."

Jude rolled her eyes, "What's wrong with it?"

"I think she sounds great," Cora butted in.

"Again," Tommy said, his expression serious.

"I was so afraid to tell you... Cause I didn't know what you'd do." When Tommy didn't say anything she continued. "Oh when I see you smile. It makes my life worth while. And since the very start. You have been in my heart. When my life became so dark and gray. You chased the storm clouds away...I was so afraid to tell you. Cause I didnt know what you'd do. Then I heard that you felt the same way, And those words were so easy to say."

"Maybe you're just off today," Tommy shrugged, a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Maybe you just don't like the lyrics," Jude snapped, crossing her arms.

Tommy took off his headphone, got up and walked out of the room. Jude lifted her arms in the air, "What the hell?"

Cora laughed, "You guys are so strange!"

"Me?" Jude asked. "How?"

"You love him huh?" Cora asked, taking her own headphones off.

"Huh?" Jude's jaw dropped; she was struck by the question. "What?"

"I see it," Cora smirked. "The way you look at him. The way he looks at you."

"Yeah, like I can't sing..." Jude replied. "And we're talking about your boyfriend here, remember?"

"Whatever," Cora shrugged. "Your all he ever talks about. Your all he's ever talked about."

"And?"

"And even though he's like the hottest guy I will ever meet," Cora responded. "He loves you. Not me."

"But-"

"Not buts." Cora interupted. "Plus, we broke up. So go for it."

"Why'd you break up?" Jude asked.

"Well, we decided to just date," Cora explained. "That way there are no stings attached, but we can still get some."

Jude's eyes widened slightly.

"Oh, sorry." Cora bit her bottom lip. "Too much information."

"Uh huh," Jude followed Cora out of the room as she struggled to change to subject. Fortunately, she saw Jamie sitting on one of the couches.

Jude walked over to Jamie and sat beside him, "Hey!"

"Hey you...girlfriend person," Jamie smiled, pecking her on the lips.

"Hey- Tommy!"

Jamie jerked back, then turned to see Tommy heading their way. He rolled his eyes as Jude got up. He watched her say something to him but he couldn't hear. A second later they walked away.

"Why the long face?" Cora plopped down beside Jamie, so closely that her perfectly tanned legs rubbed against his.

Jamie nodded his head towards Tommy and Jude right as they dissappeared down the hall.

"Oh," Cora said, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Tommy's being an ass to her."

"Why?" Jamie asked.

"I don't know," Cora replied. "He's obviously in a bad mood since I broke up with him."

"You did?" Jamie exclaimed. "Great, he's single for a day and she's already on his-"

"You can't fight destiny...Cora interrupted.

"What?" Jamie rolled his eyes again. "Whatever."

"My makeup is probably a mess," Cora said, unzipping her purse.

Jamie glanced in her purse, noticed a small plastic bag with a white powdery substance in it, "What's that?"

Cora zipped her purse close, "Damn."

"Cora..." Jamie said quietly. "You don't have to tell me, but just know I'm here if you need to talk."

"I'm sorry," Cora said. "I know, I'm a terrible person, but I'm...I have to go."

Cora jumped up and ran towards the door. Jamie picked up her purse, "Wait you forgot your... nevermind."

"Why are you being so tough on me?" Jude demanded.

Tommy leaned on the sound board, "I just want you to sound your best."

"I thought I did." Jude said, strumming the strings on her guitar.

"You can sound better," Tommy told her.

"Well maybe if you weren't always being a jerk to me I could concentrate." Jude spat.

"Maybe you need to switch producers then," Tommy responded. "If I distract you too much."

"You are the eyes that help me to see," Jude sang, her fingers delicately moving over the strings.

Tommy turned around and looked at her.

Jude glanced at him, then looked back down as she sang, " You are the eyes that help me to see. You make me everything I want to be. My heart is locked you hold the key."

Tommy walked over to her.

"I'm falling hard and I..." Jude continued. "I can feel you falling into me."

"See, right there," Tommy said. "That's what I'm talking about."

Jude stood up, "You distract me by putting thoughts in my head like that."

Tommy looked down.

"Tommy," Jude lifted his chin. "I only can't concentrate when things aren't good between us."

"Maybe they can't be." Tommy said, pulling away.

Jude gave him a puzzled look, "What? Why?"

"Jude, I can't do this anymore," Tommy said, his eyes full of saddness. "I don't know if I can be around you. There are plently of producers you can have."

"Your not just my producer though," Jude said. "Your my friend-"

"We're not friends Jude," Tommy said. "We never were friends."

"Tommy..." Jude pleaded.

"It hurts too much," Tommy shook his head. "I'm leaving town, Jude."

"No." Jude grabbed his shoulders and looked staight into his eyes. "There must be some way to convince you."

"Sure," Tommy replied. "Tell me you don't love me."

"Okay, I don't love you..." Jude decided that between lying to him and losing him, lying was the better offer.

Jude watched his expression fall as he walked past her. She spun around, "What now? What do you want me to say Tommy? How can I make you happy?"

Tommy stopped at the door, "In ways that you never can."

Jude watched as Tommy disappeared out of the room, "In ways that you won't let me..."

Jude wandered outside G Major for a good hour before heading inside. She didn't know what she could possibly do to make things better between Tommy and herself. It was a neverending battle. If she loved him, he didn't love her. If she didn't love him, he did love her. Jude was sick and tired of Tommy telling her what to do and what was right. It was time that she'd tell him.

When Jude returned to G Major, Tommy was nowhere to be found. When she asked Darius, he told her that Tommy had gone home for the day. But why? Was it her fault? Was he going to take off? Jude wasn't going to take any chances. She took out her cellphone and hit redial.

"Hi Jake? Can you do me a huge favor?"

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

"I'm not even gonna ask," Jake said, as Jude got inside his Jeep.

"That's what's so awesome about you," Jude smiled. "You have faith in my judgement."

"Now let's not get carried away," Jake responded. "I've only known you for a few weeks."

"Best few weeks of your life, no doubt." Jude nudged his arm with her elbow.

"No doubt," Jake confirmed, pulling in front of Tommy's house.

"Thanks," Jude said, opening the door. "I owe you."

"I'll be waiting..." Jake told her, turning his car off.

Jude was relieved to find Tommy's Viper still in the driveway. He may leave without the Hummer, but the Viper...please. She ran up his front steps and rang the door bell. "Come on... come on..." Jude rang it again.

Suddenly the door opened, and a very angry looking Tommy came into view. He was about the close the door in her face when Jude pushed past him.

"Tommy, why'd you disappear like that?" Jude asked. "Your not leaving are you?"

Jude followed Tommy into his kitchen, frantically asking him numerous questions.

"Jude!" Tommy picked up a journal off his kitchen table. It was her journal. "I wanted to read the rest of that song. The one you were singing to me."

"You read my journal?" Jude questioned. "That's private."

"I needed to know how you felt, exactly." Tommy said, walking up to her. He slammed the journal into her stomach. "And now I don't care."

Jude cringed, placing her hand over her journal and taking it in her hand.

"I want you out of my house," Tommy said, glaring at her. "No wait, scratch that. I want you out of my life."

"What-" Jude felt tears forming in her eyes.

"Leave! What's so hard to understand?" Tommy demanded, pushing her towards the door. "See the rectangle with the knob? Go through it and don't come back."

Jude turned and ran out the front door, slamming it behind her. She could now feel the tears pouring down her cheeks. She wiped them away as she headed back to Jake's car. She took a deep breath before getting in.

"Jude?" Jake looked at her. "Everything alright?"

"Fine," Jude lied, opening her journal. What could he have seen that would make him hate her so much? When Jude opened the journal, she noticed a small plastic bag taped to the inside of the cover. There was white powdery stuff inside the bag. "What's this?"

Jake looked at the bag as Jude pulled it out of her journal, "Looks like someone is bringing illegal substances into the Jeep."

"It's not mine," Jude declared, dropping the bag on her lap.

"Is that your journal?" Jake asked.

"Yes, but you have to believe me Jake!" Jude pleaded.

"Of course I believe you Jude," Jake assured her. "It looks to me that someone set you up."
