Locked up.

Jude looked at herself in the mirror and tried to control her nerves. She smiled confidently and straightened the short skirt and the transparent blouse she was wearing; after all she had to make a good impression tonight. This was the big chance of her life. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door and thinking it was Speed she screamed

"It's open"
She didn't even look at the door until she heard a strange sound. She turned around and her eyes met Tommy's, who was standing in front of her, holding the door key in his hand and smiling evilly.

"What are you doing here, Quincy? My journal is at home. You can steal it there. There are some new pages I think you should read" she said sarcastically, turning around again and starting to make herself up "I call them "hating Tommy Quincy""
Jude looked at Tommy through the mirror. He was still smiling. Jude looked at his hand and saw the door key. She realized of what he had planned and turned pale in no time. He had locked the door.

"Tommy, I gotta go now" she said as calm as she could, turning around and walking towards Tommy "give me the key" she asked, afraid of his answer
Tommy shook his head, still smiling and put the key inside his pocket. Jude cleared her throat

"Tommy, don't do this tonight. I know you want revenge for the "gay" thing, but not tonight please. I've got a big chance..."

"I don't care..."

"Tommy, give me the key. I will go to sing and then we can talk, ok?"
Tommy shook his head again

"Sorry girl, but you're not going to sing tonight" he said, still smiling.
Jude took a deep breath. She looked at Tommy hatefully and suddenly hit him forcefully across the face.

"Are you crazy?!" He screamed, putting his hand over his cheek. She didn't respond, just attacked him like a wild animal, trying to get the key back. They struggled for a moment but then Tommy grabbed her by the wrists and looked directly at her eyes.

"No matter what you do or what you said, you're gonna stay here, with me, where you belong"

They were inches apart, lost in each other's eyes. Tommy's lips touched Jude's slightly as he pulled her closer to his body. At first, Jude tried to protest but then Tommy let go her hands and she, instead of pulling away, looped her arms around Tommy's neck and pulled him towards her. She felt Tommy's tongue on her bottom lip and immediately opened her mouth and let him in. As he deepened the kiss, Tommy pushed her backwards until her back crushed with the cold wall. He raised one of her legs up to his waist as his mouth traveled to her neck. Jude let out a moan when Tommy picked the other leg up and placed it around his waist and then pressed her body against the wall, so she could feel how hard he was. Jude's hands made their way down his back and pulled up his shirt, throwing it across the room. Their lips reconnected as Tommy's hands found their way under Jude's blouse and immediately cupped one breast with his hand, causing her top gasp into his mouth. He started to squeeze it as Jude started to move her hips against Tommy's erection, creating an almost unbearable friction. Tommy went under Jude's skirt with his free hand as he massaged her breast over the thin fabric of her bra with the other. Jude's hands traveled all over his bare back and then stopped in his butt. She pushed his pelvis towards hers to increase the friction and then started to massage his butt, causing him to growl. Jude put her feet on the floor again and switched position, so his back was against the wall now. She smiled at him and hushed against his ear

"Close your eyes"
He smirked and attended her command immediately. Her cold hands traveled across his chest, sending shivers up and down Tommy's spine. Suddenly He didn't feel her hands anymore.

"Jude, what are you gonna do?" he asked playfully, his eyes still shut.
When he didn't hear any response, he opened his eyes. Jude wasn't there and the door was wide open.

"I can be so stupid sometimes" he said to himself as he picked his shirt up from the floor. He put it on again and walked out of the room.

Jude walked through the crowd as she buttoned her blouse again. She almost fell for Tommy again, but then she remembered the performance and she decided to take the key as she massaged Tommy's butt. She saw the boys and smiled. Kwest was with them too.

"Guys!" she half screamed as she ran towards them. They just looked at her, totally serious.

"Jude, where did you go? We looked for you everywhere!"

"Did you look at the dressing room too?" Jude asked, totally confused

"Well, Kwest did it" Wally replied. Jude looked at Kwest, who just gave her a weak smile and mouthed "I'm sorry"

"That's not the point now, Jude. The producers left. We missed our chance!" Speed screamed, but at the same time tried to calm himself.

"Why did you do this to us, Jude?"

"It wasn't my fault! Tommy locked me at the dressing room!" she explained. Tommy joined them, trying not to laugh.

"How was the performance, guys?" he asked innocently. "I mean, play without a singer must be hard"
Jude gave Tommy a death glance. He was laughing, not even caring for Jude's sadness. All the guys looked at Tommy and he stopped laughing

"What? It's not like I said you're gay or something" he spotted sarcastically, looking at Jude and then at Mason.

"Sorry, did I miss something?" Kwest asked, but nobody heard him.

"Tommy, that is nothing compared with what you did. This wasn't just about me. The guys wanted that chance as much as I wanted it"

"I don't care...this was revenge Jude, and it tastes sweet" he replied, smirking.
Jude stayed silent for a moment but then she looked at Tommy, totally red.

"You don't have the slightest idea of how much I hate you right now!" Jude screamed, causing a lot of people to turn their heads to see what was going on. Tommy looked at her, shocked, but then he turned red too.

"Well, I know it's not as much as I hate you!" Tommy replied, raising his voice.

"Liar!"

"Cheater!"

"Journal stealer!"

"Ditto!"
Jude was about to hit him, but Speed took her hand and pulled her away from Tommy. Jude couldn't hold the tears anymore and started to cry silently in Speed's chest. Tommy came back to reality and realized of what he had just done.

"I'm sorry, I didn't..." he started, but Speed cut him off

"Tommy, don't you think you've done enough for today?" he was more serious than ever. "Now Jude lost her chance to prove the world she rocks and you made her cry. What do you want now, Tommy. Kill her?"
Tommy didn't know what to say. Jude pulled away from Speed and wiped the tears off of her face. Then she looked at Tommy

"You know what? For a moment I thought you really loved me" Tommy was about to say something but the sight of a sad Jude in front of him got him speechless. Jude took a deep breath "you knew I love music and that I needed this chance, but you still blew it"

"Jude, I..."

"And now I realized that you never loved me...not because you didn't want you, but because you can't. You're so selfish and self centered to love someone else than yourself"

Everybody went silent, even Tommy. He couldn't defend himself, because as hard as it sounds, she was telling the truth. He loved her, but still, he couldn't help to hurt her.
Jude gave him a last glance and walked towards the dressing room, followed by Speed. Tommy stood there, not knowing what to do. He looked around and realized that everybody was looking at him disapprovingly. He walked towards Mason.

"Dude, I gotta do something. I can convince the producers to hear you again or I maybe I can get another producer for you" He said serious

"Why would you do that?" Wally asked, totally confused "you wanted us to miss our chance"

"I know I screwed it up, but I will try to make it up to you...and especially to Jude" he took a deep breath "because I love her...and I need her to know it"
Tommy walked out of the bar purposefully, not even looking back at Kwest, who was screaming his name.
The guys looked as he walked out and then looked at each other

"Well, at least they didn't wrack havoc" Kwest simply said, shrugging his shoulders.
Mason nodded.

"You're talking about them like they were a hurricane or something like that" Kyle said, half smiling.

"You haven't seen them fighting at school"
Suddenly Mason looked at the guys

"We have to do something about it" he said determinately.

"About what?"

"About Tommy and Jude" Mason answered, rolling his eyes "I don't know you, but I'm tired of this"
All the guys nodded.

"if this is going to stop all the stupid plans and fights, and it's really gonna make my friend happy, then I'm in"

"Me too. Jude needs to be happy"

"Agree. I'm too"

"But what are we gonna do?" Kwest asked, really intrigued.

"Don't worry" Mason said, smiling evilly "Tommy and Jude need to realize they love each other...and I know how to do it"


Jude opened the door carefully and got inside the rehearsal space, holding a paper in her hand. She opened it and read it again, though she could barely see in the darkness of the place. She had to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Jude:
We need to talk. There are a lot of things I wanna say, scream and apologize for. Please meet me at the rehearsal space as soon as you can. I will be waiting for you
Tommy

She tried not to smile; after all she was still mad at him for what he had done to her. But she couldn't show any sign of weakness. She was going to make him suffer. Suddenly a noise took her out of her thoughts. Tommy was there, sitting on the couch. She tuned the lights on as he stood up and walked towards her, playing with his hands nervously.

"Jude..." he said, almost in a whisper. But Jude wasn't going to give up that easy. She put her hands over her hips and looked at him serious.

"Well, what do you want to talk about?" she asked, trying to sound indifferent.

"What?" Tommy asked back, totally puzzled.

"Spill it Quincy. You asked me to meet you here, so, tell me"
Tommy was more confused that ever.

"I didn't. You did. Kwest called me. He said you wanted to meet me. That's why I'm here"

"No. you left a note. Mason gave it to me and..." she handed him the note. He read it and shook his head

"This is not my handwriting" he said firmly "you should know that, because you read my journal"
Jude took the paper and looked at it again. It was true, that wasn't Tommy's handwriting. Jude stood there for a moment, trying to figure out what was going on. Suddenly they heard a noise coming from outside and both looked at the door. That's when Jude fit all the pieces together and ran towards the door. She tried to open it, but it was locked.

"Mason! I know you're there. Let me get out of here!" she screaming, kicking the door.
She heard giggles and recognized Kyle's and Wally's voices.

"Mason!" she screamed again, but they weren't at the other side of the door anymore. Jude looked back at Tommy, who was totally shocked.

"Quincy, it seems that the guys play the same games as you" she took a deep breath "we're locked up Tommy"
