Now this chapter is mostly devoted to Tommy's feelings about Jude going on a 'date' with Shay and the 'date' in general. I hope you like. It's got mucho mucho drama! Enjoy:)

Jude was uneasy ever since she had got off the phone with Tommy. It was like she was so afraid of losing the one guy she had truly loved, and for what? Someone who basically mentally slapped her in the face by dumping her for Eden. Ugh that bottled blonde made her cringe. Especially her name…

The next thing she knew it was 7:00 and right on time a black car had pulled up in front of Jude's house. She hadn't really gotten dressed up, but she did change. She put on a nice pair of black pants with a white button up shirt. She didn't even think about Shay. All that was on her mind was Tommy.

"Tell mom I'll be back later, okay?" she said as she grabbed her jacket.

"Yeah. Have fun with your boyfriend…" she said as Jude glared at her and walked out the door.

She walked down the driveway and got into the back of the car. Of course Shay wasn't there. Jude just rolled her eyes and looked out the window.

Tommy was pacing around his apartment. He was so nervous that he was going to lose her.

God, why am I acting like this? She loves me. She said it. She doesn't love Shay, does she? I can't stop thinking about her. I have to get out. I have to go do something.

And with that he grabbed his keys and put on his jacket and brought his cell phone with him, just in case. He never knew if she would call or not.

The car that picked Jude up had pulled up in front of this building she didn't recognize. She then got worried.

"Where are we?" she said leaning up into the front seat. It was the first thing she had said since she got into the car.

"I can't say. Shay told me not to. You are just supposed to walk into those doors over there."

She got out and entered where the driver directed and walked into the door. It was all dark inside and she didn't know where a light was.

"Hello? Shay? Are you there?" she said searching for a light switch on the wall. she finally found one and turned it on. She looked around only to find an elevator and a flight of stairs. There was a note on the elevator and she walked towards it. It read, "Take elevator to the very top floor. No questions. Just trust me."

She was a little scared, but she was curious what he had planned up there. So she went.

When the elevator reached the top, the doors opened. All Jude saw was thousands and thousands of white candles all around the floor except for a pathway to a table on the rooftop. It was a beautiful night and she could see the stars.

She wondered where he was. She just sat down and looked up at the sky.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" a voice startled her as she turned around to see Shay standing there. He was dressed in a nice black button up shirt and black pants. Not usually his style, but he looked nice.

"Yeah, uh, why didn't you ask me to come here?" she said even before he had sat down.

"I, uh, wanted to see you, I missed you." he said smiling.

"What? Blondie got too boring for you? Sick of the 'no brain cells to save her life' thing?" she said sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"Ok, I deserved that." he said with a serious look on his face.

"Hell yeah you did and you deserve a lot more." She sat there crossing her arms.

"Jude? Why do we have to fight? I know what I did was wrong but cant we just get past it all, just for tonight?" he said with kindness in his eyes.

"Shay, you know what? I tried… I tried so hard to make myself believe that I could trust you, that you really did…" she trailed off, about to cry.

"Did what, Jude?"

"Love me! But you didn't, did you? Or you wouldn't have let 'Ms. Bottled Blonde' ruin it all, would you?" she said with a mean scowl on her face.

"Jude, you know I loved you. And a part of me… well a part of me still does."

Jude couldn't speak. She didn't know what to say. She hadn't heard Shay tell her he loved her in…well…never. Was he lying? She couldn't fall for him again… what was she going to do?

Tommy was sitting on a blanket on the ground at the place where he had taken Jude. He just wanted to be there. He hadn't taken his mind off of her since what happened last night. He smiled as he thought of it.

He kept asking her if she was sure up until the moment actually happened. She knew. She knew she wanted him to be her first. Her first love, everything. But he wasn't her first real kiss. Thinking of that made his stomach turn. She was on a date with the first guy she had ever loved. That was killing him.

"So, how's your music coming?" Shay asked taking a bite of his dinner and watching Jude nervously pick at hers.

"It's… coming. Tommy has really been a big help to me, you know?" she smiled when she thought of him, that was her first smile all night.

"Oh, well that's good. I just wish I could be here to see it all. I really have missed you, Jude." he said smiling and placing his hand in hers. "I just, wish things didn't turn out the way they did, you know?" she jerked her hand away and his smile turned somber.

"Turn out what way, Shay! With you embarrassing me on my birthday and running out with that sleazy piece of silicone! Well, I'm sorry! I must have brought it upon myself. You know what, you brought it upon yourself. And every night you nuzzle up to some bimbo, just remember, you let the best thing you will ever have, slip right through your fingertips. And I am not going to make that mistake, AGAIN!" she got up and her face was beat red. She was about to cry.

"Jude…" he said slowly.

"No, Shay! I am in love with someone. And he loves me back! So don't come waltzing in here thinking you can mess everything up, again!" she was just about ready to leave when Shay grabbed her shoulders.

"Who? Tommy! You honestly think Tommy will be there for you for the rest of your life? Well dream on, girl. He's 22! It's against all rules in the workplace and in life. So if you want to get hurt again, go right ahead. I'm done trying to make you happy." he turned around and walked away, standing a few feet away from Jude with his back turned.

"He wont hurt me." Jude said quietly, as if convincing herself that, for once in her life, she had found the one. And it wasn't Shay, it wasn't Jamie, it was Tommy. She then smiled because she knew.

"Oh? And how can you be so sure?" he said turning around to see Jude with tears in her eyes, looking across the town.

"Because when it comes to love…" she looked into his eyes, as if making sure he understood her, "there are no rules."

And with that she hugged Shay, who now realized she didn't love him; she was head over heels for Tommy. He knew this was for the best. He watched her walk away.

Jude tried to call Tommy on her way back to her house, but his phone was off, she stopped by his apartment and no one was home. She thought for a minute, and then knew where she could find him.

It took her time, but she realized it. Love isn't about rules. It's about when two people, who have such strong feelings for one another, they deny everything else.

Well it looks like we are almost to the end, folks. I hope you liked this chapter and the next one will be soon to come... thank you guys again for all of your reviews and keep reading, still more to come... Love, me.
