Jude walked into her dark house not surprised that no one was there. It was the same as four years ago. She went back outside and sat on the porch and remembered when Tommy had pulled up to her house that night four years ago…

Jude sat on her porch as she noticed the Blue Viper pull up to the driveway. Tommy looked at her as he tilted his head, looking at her with compassion in his eyes.

"Jude, if I led you on…"

"Let's just skip this." he looked away.

"Cool."

"Cool."

"Look, working on a song, it's like falling in love. At first it's a rush, and then it gets painful. And sometimes you gotta walk away. But sometimes you come out of it with something beautiful. Like that song. I mean change can be good, Jude. You want proof, just listen (he hands her the cd).Don't quit, because you're it, girl. You're the real thing. You're even better." he said as he looked at her and smiled. He turns to walk away, but then turns back.

"Nine o'clock, Monday, be at the studio."

She smiled remembering how strongly she felt about him. And how strongly she still does. But she couldn't up and leave New York and move back here to be with him, could she? She wanted that more than anything but she couldn't fold. She knew that if she came back, to be with him, they would eventually end up parting ways, again. She couldn't do that to him, and herself.

Just then she heard a car coming down the street. She was expecting that familiar blue viper to pull up, but instead it was her sister.

"Oh, hey Sadie, I thought you were-"

"Who? Tommy? Oh, no he's at his house. He wont be coming out for the rest of the night I would think. So what's up?"

"Wait…what? What's wrong with Tommy? You saw him, when?" Jude's face was starting to get hot. She didn't really like it too much that Sadie saw Tommy.

"Oh, nothing. I just…stunned him into silence is all." she smirked mischievously.

"Sadie, what did you do? Why did you even go and see Tommy?" her face was beat red now. she looked like she wanted to go and beat her sister's face in.

"Nothing…I…needed closure." she sighed. "Well, I'm beat. I'm going to go and get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning Jude."

"Huh, yeah, night Sadie."

Jude felt like she was going to scream. After all the time they spent together today, Tommy was still going to pull the same stunt he did four years ago. But one thing changed. She was now 20 and she wasn't just going to sit back and let him do this. She had to let him now how she felt. And she was going to go do that.

Tommy was sitting on his couch watching TV. in his boxers and a tank top. He was truly surprised with what had gone on tonight and didn't really know what to say about the whole thing. But he knew Sadie was right. But how could he tell Jude.

Just then there was a knock on the door and Tommy looked at the clock on the wall. 11:45, who the hell could this be? He got up and looked in the peep hole and a smile grew over his face. He opened the door and smiled at the obvious livid red head standing before him.

"Hey, Jude, uh, what's up?" he looked confused. Jude was so mad she didn't even say a word when she barged past him into his apartment.

"Ok, come on in." he laughed slightly.

"What…." she started, her voice getting angrier and angrier."What right do you think you have, spending the entire day with me, and then trying to go for my sister? God, you're really twisted, Tommy."

"Wait, back up, what are you talking about, Jude. I didn't try and get back with Sadie, she came here, she kissed me, and that's all."

"What? You kissed her. And now you're going to act like it's no big deal. You guys aren't together anymore, you do realize that right?" she crossed her arms.

"I realize that Jude, she hit on me, okay? So don't give me that kind of crap. I don't need it right now." he was getting mad now, what right did she have just waltzing into his apartment and throwing accusations everywhere.

"Oh, I get it. Kinda like I hit on you too, right? And let me guess, you told her to pretend like it never happened? God, this is like a broken record with you, Tommy. Always the same thing."

"Wait a minute there, you are going way beyond tonight. Jude! That was four years ago. Come on, girl. You know why we couldn't tell anyone." he said realizing now why she was so angry.

"No, don't give me that, Tommy. It wasn't like that, now was it? You just wanted her all along and still do!"

"Oh, god. You know I thought maybe you would grow up, but I guess it just shows immaturity got a lot more familiar to you, didn't it?" he said sarcastically.

Jude was beyond furious now. How dare he tell her she wasn't mature when he had absolutely no room to talk?

"Oh, give me a break Tommy. At least I was mature enough not to run from my mistakes. Because that was all that I was to you, a big mistake."

"Oh, good god. Will you get over yourself? Not everything is about you, Jude! Get that through your head. Grow up, okay?"

"Okay, you know what. I am so sick of this; I am done trying to get along with you, Quincy. You are too much for me." she goes to walk out and he grabs her arm angrily.

"Tommy, let me go. What are you doing?"

"Yeah, just like you to run away when things get rough. Why don't you just run back to New York, little girl."

"Tommy, stop it. I hate you! I hate you!" she started pounding his chest repeatedly with her fists. He just stood there knowing she had to get her anger out. And it was only right that it would be him, after all, he was the one that started it all.

"Jude, admit it, all you wanna do is run. All you will ever do is run. So you wont have to face your problems." she was still beating at him until she got tired and collapsed in his arms, with anger in her eyes. She hadn't noticed that hers and Tommy's faces were but 2 inches apart that he could feel her warm breath on his face. They hadn't been so close since the night of her birthday. He could sense that she tensed up in his arms suddenly.

"Jude, I can tell, you still want me. I can feel it." he looked deep into her eyes.

"God, Tommy. Now it's my turn to say 'get over yourself'. That's ridiculous." she broke away from his grip and went to open the door, but her hand only reached the door knob when he grabbed her arm and spun her around and was now looking into her eyes again.

"Tommy? What are yo-" she was interrupted by him crashing his mouth against hers. And she surprisingly kissed back. They had both wanted this for four years. She opened her mouth slightly as he slipped his tongue in and massaged hers gently. He moves his hands down to the small of her back and pulled her closer to him.

This went on for about 2 minutes or so until Jude suddenly pulled away from him. She then went to open the door and leave, but not before turning back and looking at him.

"Tommy, it didn't work out then, and it couldn't work out now. I'm sorry." and with that she closed the door behind her and leaned against it for a second before walking down the stairs and out of his life, again.

I am so sorry that I haven't updated in a long time, I just have finals to study for this week and it's hard when you are actually trying to pass and do your FF at the same time. So hopefully I will be able to update soon. Oh and about the chapter, don't worry kids. I wouldn't end it like this . I'm too nice for that. R&R Love Ya
