"What's wrong lover-boy?" Kat asked Jamie, as she watched him fumble through his locker. "You haven't spoken to me all day."

"Kat," Jamie slammed his locker and looked at her. "Remember what you said about her breaking my heart?"

Kat nodded, watching Jamie put his hand over his heart.

"Well it's broken," Jamie announced. "It's not there anymore."

"What?" Kat asked, gleaming with concern. "She broke up with you?"

"Not exactly," Jamie replied. "I saw her kiss Tommy is all."

"They kissed?" Kat asked, surprised to hear that Jude was a cheater. Kat hugged Jamie. "I'm sorry, Jamie."

"She doesn't know I saw." Jamie said, letting go of Kat. "At least I don't think so."

"Really," Kat responded. "What are you gonna do?"

"Guess I'll go confront her after school." Jamie replied. "This sucks so badly."

Jamie knocked on the Harrison's front door. After a few seconds, the door opened.

"Hi Jamie," Sadie said, smiling. "Come on in Jude's in the kitchen."

"Thanks." Jamie said, walking inside. He walked past Sadie and went inside the kitchen where he found Jude talking to Tommy.

"Funny I'd see you here." Jamie said to Tommy. "I have to talk to Jude so can you…" Jamie made a gesture towards the door.

Tommy looked at Jamie and then back at Jude, "Remember what I said."

"Whatever." Jude was leaning against the counter, her arms crossed. Her hair fell in her face and she looked upset.

Tommy walked past Jamie, bumping his shoulder and almost knocking him backwards. Jamie ignored it and walked over to Jude. He moved her hair out of her face and saw tears.

Jamie sighed loudly, "You alright?"

"I don't know anymore, Jamie!" Jude exclaimed, hugging him tightly.

Jamie pushed her off gently. She looked at him, her eyes red and wet, begging him to hold her and make everything okay. Asking him why he just resisted her grasp.

"Jude," Jamie said. "I know things have been hard for you lately."

"Jamie I'm so lucky to have you." Jude tried hugging him again, but he back away.

"You don't." Jamie responded.

"What do you mean?" Jude asked. "You're like the only one I do have."

"What about Tommy, huh?" Jamie asked. "You sure had him last night. Remember, you kissed him?"

"Jamie…"

"No Jude." Jamie interrupted. "I'm not going to be that guy, the one who ignores the truth just because he loves you. It hurts too much."

"Jamie…"

"Goodbye," Jamie walked towards the door. "Goodbye Jude Harrison."
