Tommy sat on his couch clearly with a face of shock. He had been sitting there for an hour now and he still didn't understand why she left. She still wants me…doesn't she? She hasn't moved on…I felt her kiss. She wanted me. Then why did she run away?

He sat there contemplating everything all night. He couldn't have gotten 2 hours of sleep, because everytime he closed his eyes, all he saw was her. And all he could feel was her lips on his. This killed him.

It seemed like it was the same with Jude. She went home and didn't say two words to her mom or Sadie; she just walked up to her room and closed the door behind her. She sighed loudly as she leaned back against her door. What the hell is wrong with me? Tommy was kissing me. And what do I do? I push him away. God, I'm such an idiot. But I cant very well give everything up for him, I don't want to have to do that when I don't know if he is really serious about me or not. I cant do that to myself.

She got tired of worrying about everything so she changed into her pajamas and went to bed. She didn't sleep at all though. She couldn't with all that happened that night.

The next day, Jude decided she would face Tommy and take up his offer of going to the studio; she hadn't worked on any songs though. So she brought her guitar with her.

She walked down the stairs to see Sadie and her mom sitting at the table in the kitchen. They must have been talking about her because as soon as she entered they stopped talking. She looked puzzled at the expression on their faces.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" she said touching her face.

"Huh? Oh, no, honey. We were just talking about the trip we've been planning for a while now. We decided that since you are here for a while, we should just cancel it." her mother said getting up and getting more coffee.

"What? No, you guys go ahead and go. I'm fine on my own. How long will you be gone?"

"Oh just for a few days, you sure you'll be okay, because we can stay if you want us to." she said with a worried face.

"Oh, no. Have fun. I'll be okay."

"Okay, well we leave tomorrow morning and I'll leave you some money so that you can get groceries and stuff."

"Mom, don't worry about that. I cab handle myself." Jude gloated with a smile.

Back at G Major Tommy was pacing in the studio. Would she show up or wouldn't she? That was the question constantly floating around in his mind and he couldn't stop thinking about it. Just then he heard voices outside the door. And in walked Kwest with Jude and her guitar.

"Hey Jude, what's up?" he said nervously.

"Nothing, Tommy. I decided I should try and see if I could even sing anymore." she laughed slightly.

"Oh, okay. So what do you got?" he said.

"Oh, not much. I just started out with a verse and a chorus. Tell me if it's okay." she said as she walked into the room she had got to know so well in the short while she had worked for G Major.

"Okay, go ahead. When you're ready." he said pressing a few buttons on the sound board.

She thought for a second and then strummed a melody on her guitar. That sent shivers down Tommy's spine already. He hadn't heard her play in forever.

She closed her eyes and started to sing.

I try and try to get over you

I try and try to change

and everything always

just stays the same

so maybe you can help me

help me realize

just exactly what I'm looking forward to

when I look

into your eyes

CHORUS:

why do I fall so hard

and they don't fall back

tell me what it is

that I still lack

tell me why

why don't they

ever fall back

When she finished she opened her eyes and a slight smile spread across her face when she saw the look on Tommy's. It was open mouthed shock.

"Jude, that was…" he trailed off.

"…really great." Kwest finished his sentence for him. "Good job. Looks like we got us a hit single."

"Oh, you think so." she said as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Yeah, girl. That was wonderful." Tommy finally said.

"Thanks." she smiled.

So she and Tommy spent the entire night working on the song way past what he was supposed to work, he just wanted it to be perfect. They had ordered pizza and were actually talking, civilly.

"So, Jude, I've been meaning to talk to you…you know…about last night."

"Tommy, how about we don't do this. Not now."

"But when, Jude? I'm sick of postponing everything because 'you don't feel like it'. I need to tell you how I feel." he turned to her and looked at her with his piercing blue eyes.

"Tommy, you don't get it, do you?" she said sighing. "Look, I don't want to fight about this, so I'm just going to come right out and say it. I'm leaving soon, and everything will be back to normal for you, so why don't we just make use of the time we have, let's not complicate things."

Tommy sighed and decided he wouldn't push it any further. He knew he wouldn't win and maybe she was right about the whole leaving thing. She couldn't live here and be happy. She had a life. He needed to understand that. She couldn't just up and leave New York and live with him in Vancouver, could she?

He knew it was impossible for her and his life to ever work out together but he knew he would die trying. They spent the rest of the night not talking about the previous night. Just working on the song.

Sorry guys about the whole not updating forever. And for that I will update two chapters today so I can get y'all caught up. Good news, only one more day of finals until Christmas Break. Whoo hoo!
