Jude must have changed the stations in Tommy's car 12 times by the time they reached their spot. She finally settled on a rock station and started humming to the lyrics of Green Day's Brain Stew.
"I love this song. The guitar is so great in this." she kept humming to the music.
"Yeah, they're pretty good. Their new stuff kinda sucks though." he said tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. They finally reached their destination, got out, and put a blanket on the ground and left the radio playing.
"Do- do you think I will ever be as famous as them?" Jude said sitting down on the blanket and pulling her knees to her chest.
"Who, Green Day? Of course. You are a really great singer, Jude. You have major potential." he said sitting down next to her looking into her eyes.
"Thanks." she looked out across the town. As 311's Love Song comes on the radio.
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
What ever words I say
I will always love you
"Now this song I awesome." He said humming along with it.
"Yeah, I love it." Jude said smiling and closing her eyes and then opening them again to see Tommy looking at her. He then looked away as soon as she saw him looking. She couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. "Tommy?" she said half-smiling.
"Yeah?" he said wondering what she was going to ask him about.
"Did you always know you were gonna be a singer?"
"No, it didn't really hit me until right before BoyzAttack formed. My mind was really open to doing anything before that, but honestly, I wouldn't change a thing." he smiled at her.
"That's good. you should never have any regrets in life. you know my mom always-" she stopped herself because she realized what she had been saying. She did have regrets. She regretted ever saying nothing happened between them when it did. It did, and shedidn't want tohide that anymore. She frowned.
"What? What's wrong? Jude?" Tommy said with a worried face.
"Nothing." she smiled not wanting to ruin their time together.
"Okay." he said, not sure if she was telling the truth.
"Tommy, I'm kinda tired. Do you think you could take me home? Big day tomorrow, you know?" she said uncomfortable now. She didn't want to be but she just couldn't help it.
"Yeah, sure. Let's go." he said frowning because he thought he ruined the night.
They got up and the car ride to Jude's house was silent. He didn't know what to say and she just wished he would say something but she knew he wasn't going to.
As they arrived at Jude's house Jude was just about ready to get out when Tommy grabbed her arm.
"Jude?"
"Huh?" she looked a little nervous.
"Did you- have fun tonight?" he said looking for an answer in her eyes.
"Yeah, thank you so much Tommy. I had a lot of fun." she smiled.
"That's good. I'm glad you did. Maybe, we could, you know, do this again sometime?" he looked like he was sweating.
"Sure, um, I'll talk to you tomorrow okay?" she smiled and got out.
"Okay, see you at the studio." he was sweating bullets. He didn't know why.
Jude went and walked up to her doorway and as soon as she turned around to wave, Sadie busted out of the door and ran over to Tommy's car.
"Tommy! Hi. I was gonna call you. Do you, maybe, want to go to lunch tomorrow?" she looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Uh sure, Sadie. When? " he said kind of uncomfortable because he knew Jude was watching him. He could always sense her near.
"Um, tomorrow is okay with me, is it okay with you?" she said happily.
"Sure, tomorrow is fine." he smiled slightly.
"Okay, I will pick you up at G Major around 12 tomorrow?"
"Sure, I will be waiting."
"Okay, bye Tommy." she waved eagerly.
"Bye, Sadie."
As Tommy drove off Sadie walked into the house with a big grin on her face.
"I have a lunch date with Tommy, tomorrow." she said trying to make Jude jealous.
"That's nice." Jude said, trying not to sound jealous. But inside she was screaming.
"Yeah, I'm picking him up tomorrow and we're gonna go eat. Isnt that great, Jude?" she said glaring at her sister.
"Yeah, sure."
Jude walked up to her room, worry still filled her mind. She wondered why she couldn't just be friends with Tommy. Why was it so difficult? She cared about him too much, that's why. She would give anything to know how he really felt about her.
As Tommy opened the door to his apartment and locked it again he couldn't help but think of Jude. Great, now she's really gonna think I like Sadie. Well, I didn't want to be mean to the girl. She looked so…eager. He shook his head at this thought and took off his shirt and laid on the bed.
"Come on, Quincy. She's 16. She cant possibly be the one. Can she?" he said to himself not believing anything he was saying. He knew that she was the one. Ever since he met her. How could he be in love with a 16 year old? But he was, wasn't he?
"Yeah, you love her." he said as he smiled. He then closed his eyes never taking his mind off of the red haired beauty.
