I was trying to wait for more reviews, but I couldn't resist posting this chapter. For those of you who were confused about my Clueless reference(if there are any of you who were), it was the lightbulb quote from the last chapter.

Chapter 3: Dirty Little Secret

Meanwhile

Jude and Tommy were sitting in the studio, working on a new song. "Jude, this song is great, but it needs something else," said Tommy, who was just walking in after refilling his coffee mug.

"Something else like what?" He shrugged and sat down.

"I don't know. It just- doesn't go deep enough."

"Well, how deep do you want it to go?" He unconciously moved closer to her. She noticed and moved away, picking up her guitar and moving it in front of her so he couldn't get any closer.

"Jude, I know you're still mad at me for doing that to you on your 16th birthday. I mean, if I were you I would be, but I just couldn't let it go any farther."

"Because you were afraid of what would happen if people found out." She scowled.

"Well, yes. But more importantly I was afraid of what would happen to us if it didn't work out. How mutch more it would hurt you if I didn't hold back."

"Yeah right. Can't you ever tell the truth for once in your life?" He sighed.

"Jude, that was the truth." He moved closer again and took the guitar out of her hands. He pulled her in close to him and kissed her. She hesitantly pulled away. "What? I thought you wanted this."

"I do, but last time, you didn't. And i'm not sure you want it this time. And besides, you have Sadie."

"No, I don't. I told her no. I love you." He pulled her into another kiss. They were so wrapped up in it that they didn't notice that someone had walked into the studio and was standing right there, watching them. He started clapping, and they pulled apart.

"Bravo, guys. I always knew you 2 would end up together."

"Shay? What are you doing here?"

"I came to ask someone something. Didn't expect to see this." Jude looked at Tommy.

"Um, can I talk to Shay alone for a minute?"

"Sure." Tommy left the room, leaving Shay and Jude alone.

"So, looks like it went pretty good withTommy," said Shay, grinning. He sighed deeply.

"It also looks like things went pretty well with the waitress." He looked shocked.

"How did you-"

"I know you. If you see someone you like, you won't leave her alone. That's what you did to me." He glared at her, but she ignored it. "So, what's her name?"

"Katrina. I asked her to be in the video with us."

"Darius actually let you do that?"

"Well, no. Actually, he doesn't know. I just asked her on impulse."

"What did she say?"

"She said she'd think about it, but she didn't really sound too thrilled. Actually, she didn't even know who I was!" Jude laughed.

"There's a refreshing change."

"Hey!"

"Sorry. It's just everyone is always talking about you and i'm kind of sick of it."

"She did seem to know alot about you." Jude smiled.

"This day just gets better and better!" She laughed.

"You're so full of yourself!"

"I'm full of myself? Please, I hardly ever hear people talking about me. You get to hear it every day."

"Ok, ok. Good point." Jude suddenly looked worried. "What?"

"You're not gonna tell anyone about me and Tommy, right?" He grinned.

"I won't tell if you won't."

A/N: Just one thing to say for this chapter: thanks to Catch1star for giving me the idea for the end of this chapter. I never really thought about that. Once again, please R&R.
