A/N: As I said about a million times, thank you guys SO MUCH for all your reviews, and hell, I will say it a million times more, THANK YOU….

As they arrived back to Jude's mom's house, she was so tired that she was ready to go to bed. So she said goodnight to her mom and Sadie as she went upstairs to go to sleep.

She didn't go to sleep right away, though. It seemed after she left home, all of the songs that were in her head started pouring out, and she had kept this routine of writing down at least a few lines of lyrics before bed, or singing one of her own. Just so she didn't lose that special gift no one could take away from her. And she did this every night for the past 4 years.

She took a deep breath as she strummed her guitar strings.

You said you didn't need me (but you did)

You said you didn't want me (but you do)

It's kinda like a comedy

Well, first you kiss me

and then you say we're through

I'm the smoke from your fire
I'm that lie you can trust
I'm the chord on your guitar
I'm that girl you can't shutup
I'm the blood you might need
In your car when you speed
In that cigarette you breathe
You can't get rid of me

She stopped playing her guitar. It seemed like every night for the past four years she did the same routine of playing her music and making sure she still had it. And every night she would realize she had all but one thing…Tommy. Her songs, lyrics, and thoughts were all about him.

Even the girls at the coffee shop would say so when she sang there on Wednesday nights. They would say things like 'you gotta get him back' and 'he doesn't know what he's missing.' The problem was she knew he didn't care. He didn't care or else he wouldn't have let her leave so hurt that night. He wouldn't have kissed her and then pretended like it never happened. He would have never been off to Europe with her sister. He knew exactly what he was 'missing'.

So why didn't he choose me? she thought with tears welling up in her eyes. She decided to give the singing a rest for tonight. She laid her head back on her pillow and fell asleep. She didn't know that over at Tommy's apartment he was as big of a wreck as she was…

Tommy sat down on his couch running his hands through his hair. He had been so depressed since Jude left 4 years ago, but it had gotten better. He didn't feel so much like it was his fault. But still, he did think of her from time to time. Like everytime he listened to her CD, which he did go out and buy, by the way. And everytime he heard someone laugh like she did, or everytime he saw Sadie he thought of her sister. He felt bad for Jude's leaving, so they broke up about a month after. He just couldn't handle that he might have been the problem she was out there all by herself.

He sighed and flipped through the channels on the T.V. He couldn't concentrate. It was one of those nights where he had to go and drink his pain away. But he decided not to take that invitation by his friends and Kwest to go and party. He didn't feel up to it.

What if she never comes back? What if, I never see her again? I couldn't handle that. She'll come back, she just needs, time. She wouldn't give up on her family, would she? After all she hasn't been back in 4 years. She might be gone for good.

The thought of never seeing that red head's face again, killed Tommy everytime he thought about it. He decided he was just going to go to sleep so that he didn't have to think about it anymore.

He turned off the T.V., went into his bedroom, took off his shirt, and laid on his bed. He was just about to fall asleep when the phone rang…

It was a private call. He picked it up anyways…

"Hello?" he said tiredly.

There was no voice on the other side.

"Hello? Is there anyone there? Hello?" he said as he hung up.

Jude couldn't speak. Just hearing the sound of his voice made her feel sad. She could tell he had unhappiness in his voice. She didn't want to tell him she was back over the phone. No, she had to do it in person. And that was what she would do first thing, was to go to G Major and tell everyone she was back, for a while at least.

The next day, Jude got up especially early so that she could go to G Major alone. She knew she had to do it all alone, because if she took anyone with her and they mentioned it too much, she wouldn't be able to do it. So she got up and took a shower, put on a plain pair of jeans, and her black Ramones t-shirt. She figured there was really no reason to dress nice, it was just G Major. She left her mom and Sadie a note and grabbed her jacket and left.

She went to get a cup of coffee before she braved her trip to G Major. So she stopped by a little café right across the street from the building. That way she could just go and wouldn't have to think about it too much. But, she had already been thinking about it all night.

She sipped her coffee slowly as she thought it would by her time. Just then she saw a familiar blue viper pull up to the building. I can't believe he still has that car, after all this time. she thought to herself smiling remembering the time he let her drive it around on her 16 birthday. Okay, so maybe all memories of that day aren't so bad. she thought again.

It was time. Her coffee had finally gotten cold, giving the sign that she had been there a while. She wasn't really looking forward to going back to the record label she had abandoned. Btu she knew what she had to do.

She got up, paid the bill, and walked out. She was shaky the whole way over there. What am I going to say, 'Oh, hi guys, I know I abandoned you about four years ago, but what's up?' she thought shaking her head. Come on Jude get ahold of yourself. That was 4 years ago, they couldn't still be mad, could they?

The next thing she knew she was at the front doors of the G Major Studios. Inside it looked like it usually did, chaotic. She could still see EJ running around like a mad woman on her cell phone, and Georgia was standing at the front desk, looking at some papers. Then Jude noticed she wasn't looking at the papers in front of her anymore. She was looking right at Jude. That was her cue to enter.

"Uh, hey, Georgia." Jude said weakly.

Georgia just stood there with her mouth open in shock. She had also been very confused and disappointed to why Jude left. She stood there a few minutes longer staring at the girl, no young woman standing before her. She was no longer the 16-year-old girl that would sit on the stairs and play her guitar, not caring what anyone thought. She was standing there, now almost as tall as her, with the same fiery red hair and traffic stopping beauty but something was, different. She was…a woman.

"Jude, you're back?" she said smiling and giving her a hug. "I can't believe you're here. Where have you been?" she said stepping back, now with everyone looking at Jude and it made her a little uncomfortable.

"Uh, yeah about that, I, uh, went to New York, I was, uh, kinda sick of it here. Oh don't get me wrong all of you were great, but it was, something I had to do for myself. You know; kind of a journey to find myself or something like that." she smiled.

"Oh, I get it now, how did your parents take it?" she said wincing.

"They were surprisingly okay with it. They were just a little worried. But its all okay now." she laughed and looked around at all the people still staring at her.

"Yeah I bet. It went down pretty bad here. We were also really worried about you, Jude. Especially Tommy. He left town to go and find you."

"Yeah, Jamie told me. I can't believe he did that."

"Well, I can. Jude, he really cares about you. More than you think. He was such a wreck for 3 years. He could hardly work. He slowly but surely got over it though. He's here today, you know?" Georgia looked at her smiling.

Jude got a smirk on her face. "Yeah, I saw his viper out there. I wasn't looking forward to hearing the yelling." she looked away and looked at the ground.

"Well, I still think you need to see him. And Kwest! They both missed ya kiddo." Georgia said pulling Jude to the back studio where she always remembered recording all of her songs with Tommy.

"Georgia! I don't-" the next thing she knew she was pulled into the room and there sat Tommy and Kwest, not facing her, looking at the mixing board.

"Hey, guys look who's back!" Georgia said excitedly. Just then Tommy and Kwest both turned around at the same time to see the red head standing there. Tommy couldn't believe who he saw. There she was, 4 years later. She still looked as beautiful as she always did to him, but something was different. This kid, wasn't a kid anymore.

"Uh, hey…guys." Jude said smiling and laughing nervously.

"Jude? You're back? Where have you been?" Kwest said embracing her. He then stepped away to reveal a still open mouthed Tommy.

"Uh, hi Tommy, how are you?"

Well sorry about the cliff hanger, but its part of the suspense…lol. I promise I will update ASAP-------- LOVE YA!
