Chapter Four: (Your Eyes) Make Me Scared to Tell the Truth

-------------------------------------

"Ouch!" Jude said, as she accidentally slammed her finger into her locker. She jammed her pinky in her mouth and then took it out to inspect the locker. She kicked the locker and it rattled loudly.

"You okay?" Kat asked, looking at her red finger. "Need me to call an ambulance?"

"I'm okay." Jude told her, blowing on her finger. "I heard this is supposed to work but I'm finding out otherwise."

"Sorry about you party, Jude." Kat apologized. "I really really really am sorry."

"It's okay." Jude responded. "Plus I have to forgive you. You're about the only person I can talk to right now."

"What's going on?"

"First let me ask you…" Jude said. "Did Jamie talk to you since the party?"

Kat looked down.

"Kat?"

"I'm sorry." Kat apologized again. "Jamie told me you guys broke up."

"Well." Jude started. "Not directly. But I'm assuming it's over."

"I told him you were gonna break his heart," Kat admitted. "But he broke yours. I'm sorry."

"It only hurts because everything is weird now," Jude replied. "We can pretend everything is okay. But we're not the same best friends we used to be."

"But we are." Kat hugged her friend. The bell rang and Kat let go. "So is this what you wanted to talk to me about? Cause we're gonna be late for class."

"Actually," Jude said, looking around. "It's about Tommy."

"Oh, interesting!" Kat smiled. "This is worth skipping for!"

Jude followed Kat outside. They sat down on the stairs in front of the school.

"So what's going on with you-know-who?" Kat asked.

"It was the strangest thing." Jude explained. "He sang my song to me. Whoa that came out funny. Anyway, he sang 'Your Eyes' to me while I was walking away. I told him I was quitting my music career."

"Sing it."

"Huh?"

"Sing what he sang to you." Kat insisted.

"Your eyes are holding up the sky. Your eyes make me weak I don't know why. Your eyes make me scared to tell the truth. I thought my heart was bullet proof." Jude sang loudly. She stopped and looked at Kat.

"Wow." Kat's jaw dropped. "That is the sweetest and most romantic thing I have ever heard."

"That's why I'm so confused, Kat!" Jude exclaimed. "One second he wants me the next he doesn't and then it starts again."

"Your not really gonna quit music right?" Kat frowned.

"I don't think so." Jude responded.

"I think you should talk to…" Kat stared into the distance.

Jude turned to see the white striped blue viper parked on the side of the road. She continued to watch the brown haired guy approach them.

"Come get me in the bathroom when you're done." Kat stood up and walked off.

Jude stood up, her hands in her back pockets.

"Hi Jude." Tommy said. He seemed uptight.

Jude hugged him close and spoke softly into his ear. "We both want this."

Tommy resisted her grasp. "N…No."

Jude let go.

Why didn't I see this coming? Idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot…

"I'm going away for a while." Tommy announced. "I came to say goodbye."

Jude didn't know what to say. She felt tears form in her blue eyes.

"These will be the last tears you waste on me." Tommy wiped them away. "Good luck with your career."

Tommy took his car keys out of his pocket and walked away from her. Jude stood there and helplessly watched him walk away.
