GO US! lol Anyways, let me know what you think of this chapter, and give me some more ideas!

I walked out onto the stage to screams and shouts and claps that I never thought I'd hear ever. It was so exhilarating, it immediately got rid of any anxiety I was having about performing. I knew that I was starting out with Temporary Insanity, so I jump started into that, and I kicked ass, if I do say so myself. It was awesome; the crowd was singing along and everything. Totally what I needed to get pumped up. Next I sang Time to be your 21 and that was still a little emotional for me… I knew Tommy was watching, so I sang it with the passion and soul I had never sung that song with before. I was a little disappointed when it ended. Following that, I did 24 Hours and Let Me Fall.

It had been decided that Waste my Time would be my last song of the night, so when that time came, I was pumped and ready to go. The song started and I sang with energy. When it came close to the part where Shay normally would have come in, I prepared myself to skip over it, but then something happened. "Call me Shay to the M-I-C/When you listen' to me/You be listen' to the b bumpin'" I snapped my head to the back of the auditorium where I saw Shay walking down the middle aisle. I almost went out of my head, but I remembered that I had to sing.

"Waste my time, waste my time." I breathed, not taking my eyes off of him as he climbed up on stage and stood next to me. The song quickly ended, thank god, and the applause and screams were deafening. I took a bow. "Thank you guys so much for coming out to see me. Have a great night!" I smiled and walked backstage, hunting for Darius. He came up to me and gave me a big hug. I pushed his away. "What the hell is he-" I jabbed my finger in Shay's direction. "Doing here!" I shouted.

"Look Jude… I wanted to do the duet with you. I thought it'd be cool and that you wouldn't mind." Shay answered for him.

"Oh right. Then why didn't you tell me about this before the concert?" I accused. Neither offered up an answer. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a sister to find, and a bus to catch. Talk to you later." I stalked away, hoping to find Sadie quick. I waltzed into my backstage room, but she wasn't in there. I wandered around backstage for a few minutes before I heard giggling. Oh how lovely. You get to see your sister making out with him… the perfect way to end a night. I thought bitterly. I followed the giggling, and found Sadie, kissing someone… Someone who wasn't Tommy. "Sadie, what are you doing?" I barged in. She jumped and quickly extracted herself from this other guy.

"Oh shit Jude, I can explain!" She stammered. I held my hand up.

"Don't even try. I'm leaving." I walked calmly out of the room and made my way outside. I didn't see the bus, so I figured that it was still where it had been when it broke down. I started walking up the sidewalk when I heard footsteps pounding in my direction.

"Jude, wait up!" Sadie caught up to me and slowed to a walk.

"Wait up for what Sadie?" I turned and glared at her. "Wait for you to make excuses about what I saw and how it never happened?" O felt tears well up in my eyes.

"Well… sorta?" She said warily.

"Yeah well, shove it up your ass Sadie. YOU CAN'T MAKE THINGS LIKE THIS GO AWAY!" I screamed at her. "What did Tommy ever do to you to deserve this?" I turned and ran to the bus. I opened the door and promptly slammed into someone.

"Jude, what's wrong?" Tommy saw the tears on my face and the anger in my eyes.

"Nothing Tommy, absolutely nothing." I threw myself face first onto the couch and screamed. I felt the couch sink a little and Tommy pulled me into his arms. "Jude, it's alright. Everything is alright." He soothed.

"No it's not Tommy, nothing is!" I sobbed into his chest.

"What happened Jude? What happened?" He tried to coax me. I was really tempted to tell him the entire thing, what I saw and what she had said, but I couldn't sink that low. Besides, she would tell him… she had to tell him.

"It's just about Shay Tommy. That's it." I pulled away and wiped my face with my hands. He looked really doubtful, but let it drop. "I'm gonna go lie down for a minute. Let me know when we get to the hotel." He nodded and I walked to my bunk. I got comfortable. "Night."
