I am so sorry for not putting this chapter on last night. My computer was acting all weird and it wouldn't let me get back on the internet. Anyway, thank you guys again for all those reviews and here is that second chapter I promised you. Happy Thanksgiving! Love, me.

What had just happened was killing Jude. She wanted to know why he insisted on kissing her all the time and then pretending like nothing even happened. But she did the same thing, didn't she? She loved kissing him and she wanted to be with him more than anything.

But not like this. Not like this with him running away everytime things get rough. He was either sure of something, or he wasn't. It was as simple as that.

As Tommy drove down the road still in the pouring rain he kept thinking about what had just happened.

Stupid idiot! God, why do I make her sad like that? I kiss her and leave. She must really hate me now. Why do I have to be so dumb? He thought to himself while he was driving down the road.

He kept hitting himself in the forehead with his hand. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Quincy, you really blew it this time. Good Job!" he yelled at himself for hurting her again.

As he pulled up in front of his apartment building he didn't bother to put his coat over his head he just let the rain come down on him, drenching his entire body.

He walked up the stairs and pulled out his keys and shook the water out of his hair and unlocked his door and went into his apartment. He locked the door again and threw the keys on the table.

He was so mad at himself for doing that to Jude. He went into his bedroom and looked at the clock. 2 a.m. Wow. He had been over there all night practically.

He went to take off his jacket and tossed it on the chair beside his bed and then took off his shirt. He fell backwards on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He just couldn't stop thinking about her. He loved kissing her. He didn't want to stop.

And with that there was a knock on his door. He was almost reluctant to answer it. Who the hell is this at 2 o'clock in the freaking morning? He thought as he walked towards the door and didn't even bother to put a shirt back on or look through the peep hole.

As he unlocked and opened the door, he stood there in shock at the person who was standing in front of him.

"Jude? What are you doing here? How did you get here?" he stood there his mouth open in shock at the shivering red head that looked like she had taken a shower with her clothes on.

"I, uh, had to sssseeee youuuu." her jaw was quivering with every word she spoke. She crossed her arms to try and keep warm.

"Well, come in. I'll go find you something dry to wear." he grabbed her shoulders and led her into his apartment. He went back into his room and brought out a dry tee-shirt and a pair of sweat pants that she could wear.

"Th- thank you." she grabbed the clothes and went into the bathroom to change.

While she was in there Tommy was outside pacing nervously. Why is she here? How did she get here? What am I going to do? I can't be around her. Not right now. But I can't just let her leave again. Oh, god I never thought love would be this confusing. Is it love? Maybe it is. He thought and with that she walked out messing with her hair so that it would dry faster.

"Hey, thanks. I thought I was gonna get pneumonia." she said still avoiding eye contact with him.

"Jude? How did you get here? Why are you here? Are you okay?" he said with concern in his voice.

"I uh, walked part of the way, and then I got a cab. I, uh, I-----" she trailed off.

"You what, Jude?" he said still looking into her eyes.

God, why is this so hard? Why can't I just tell him how I feel? It will be easy, right? I can tell him I love him, can't I? She thought now looking into his eyes.

"Jude, what is it? What's wrong?" he said moving closer to her and put his hands on her shoulders. She shivered when he did that.

"I can't, Tommy. I just cant." she said tears forming in her eyes.

"You cant what, Jude? What are you talking about?"

"I cant, do this, anymore. Its too hard." she said wiping tears away on her cheeks.

"I know, Jude. if you want, we can pretend like nothing happened tonight. Maybe that will be easier." he hated saying those words but he knew if he kept doing this to her then she would be left crying over him all the time. It was better this way, or was it?

"Yeah, maybe its better that way, Tommy. You know? Maybe we should just forge---" she stopped herself again.

I don't want to have to forget everytime something like this happens! I'm sick of always hiding how I feel. Why do I always have to deny the real truth? Why do we always run away from love, when it's staring us right in the face? I'm not doing that anymore. I'm done pretending. she thought.

"No! I don't want to do this! I don't want to forget, Tommy." she pushed his arms down and then stepped away a little.

"Jude." he said his voice calm and reasonable.

"No, Tommy! I thought I could, you know? I thought I could be friends with you, but I can't! I can't! You want to know why? Because we were never meant to be friends , Tommy! You can't be 'just friends' with someone when you are as in love with them as I am in love with you!" she said, her face was turning red and the tears just kept on falling.

"Jude, I know how you feel, I do-"

"No, Tommy obviously you don't! Because if you did you would be fighting for us as much as I am sitting here fighting for us. I am in love with you. Yes, I said it! I love you! I love you, Tom Quincy. And I will be damned if I walk out this door and out of your life, again, without knowing how you feel. How do you feel?" she said with pleading eyes.

"Jude, I-- I don't know." he finally said.

"No! You kissed me, Tommy. You kissed me on my birthday and you kissed me tonight. You have to feel something for me. Tell me the truth!" her voice was getting angry now.

What am I supposed to do? My mind is telling me this is all wrong but my heart screams YES! How do I tell the one girl I am forbidden to be with, that I am absolutely head over heels for her? How do I tell her that?

"Say something, please." her voice got calmer but she was still crying.

He sat there for a minute trying to figure out what he was going to do. He could either defy all that he was told and be with the one girl in his life, that he truly thought was the one for him. Or he could let her walk out, again. And risk losing her for good. I love this girl. And when it comes to love, there are no rules.

Tommy walked toward Jude who was looking down at her feet and crying. He put his hands on her shoulders and brought her closer to him.

"Tommy, wha-"

"No, you're going to listen to me now. I love you, Jude Harrison. I have always loved you. From the moment I met you. I love your smile, your voice, your laugh, and the way you sing. And when you sing about me, it makes me love you a million times more. I sat there and made mistakes before. Those mistakes kill me every day of my life because I hurt you, and I am never going to do that anymore. There were all these rules to follow. But I realized. Love doesn't know any rules, any limits. It's just…Love. And I Love You. And I always will."

And with that he cupped her cheeks with his hands and brought his lips to hers. She opened her mouth slightly and he did the same. Their tongues massaged one another gently.

He moved his hands from her cheeks down to her back and pulled her so close that there was no space in between them. They stood there like this for what seemed and eternity.

She then pulled away for a second and looked into his eyes. When she smiled he smiled back and resumed kissing her.

She then walked backwards, still kissing him, towards his bedroom.

He realized what she was doing and pulled away for a second.

"Jude? Are you sure? I mean we don't have to…."

"Shhhhh." she put her finger up to his lips and traced them. "I'm sure. After all, I am in love." she smiled and with that comment he kissed her again and she took off her shirt and they fell back onto the bed.

Now how is that for a chapter? he he he. lol
