Jude walked into G Major once again, but today was different. Today was the day she would say goodbye to everyone, once again, and go back to New York. Just be calm, and tell them how you really feel.

She walked into the studio to see Kwest, Georgia, EJ, and Tommy all in a circle talking about something with the sound board. They all turned their heads when she walked in.

"Hey, what's up?" she said nervously feeling all their eyes on her like daggers about to plunge.

"Hey, Jude. We were just talking about your single." Georgia said smiling. Why does she always have that look on her face? Jude thought tentatively.

"Oh, yeah, uh, about that…" she trailed off not knowing what to say next. They were all still looking at her, only more intensely now. She wanted to scream Stop freaking looking at me! But instead she finished what she was going to say. "…I don't think we should leak the single. It's not worth it." There it was. Those looks turned to defeat. Oh, no. There come the questions.

"What!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Jude, it's a great song, why are you even thinking that?"

She put her hands up as if she was stopping traffic and finally yelled "Stop!" There was silence and everybody looked at her like she had two heads.

"The thing is, it won't be worth it because… I'm not going to be here for very much longer. And it would be pointless to leak a single that I'm not going to be around to hear how it turns out, I'm sorry for wasting your guys' time. And I have got to go. I'll see you later." and she walked out leaving, yet again, open-mouthed faces of shock. When did she become so good at that?

Sometimes the things you want the most, you know you can't have, so you have to run.

Jude was sitting on her couch with a bowl of popcorn in one hand and the channel changer in the other. Since her mom and Sadie wouldn't be back for a couple more days, she had to chill there until they got back. She couldn't stand leaving them again.

Then there was a knock at the door. Oh, it must be the pizza. She thought as she got up and reached for her wallet.

"So, how much do I owe- Tommy? What are you doing here?" she said standing there looking at the obvious wreck of a man standing in front of her.

"I had to see you. Can- I come in?" he said with sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Sure, come on in." she stood back and allowed him to enter. He looked bad, like he hadn't slept in a couple days.

"Jude, you can't leave." he said rather bluntly.

"Excuse me?" she said with disbelief in her voice that he had even said that to her.

"I mean, Jude, that song…is…great…and, uh, I don't think you should just walk away from something as great as that." he sat down looking at his hands. "I just, uh, think that you shouldn't leave, not for a while at least. And Georgia, Kwest, and EJ feel the same way."

"Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, Tommy, but I have a job that I have to get back to, and a life. I can't very well stay here for a long period of time."

"Why not? You haven't seen your family in four years. And they missed you. You need this time to reconnect with them and build that bond again. Take that chance, Jude. It's just a coffee shop in New York. It's not like you're happy."

"And what makes you think I'm not, huh? Maybe it is just some little coffee shop but you know what? It's my home, and I will be damned if I leave my home for no good reason. Especially this reason."

"Oh, so your music is not important enough to you anymore, Jude?" he said with anger rising in his eyes. I'm not important enough to you?

"No, that's not what I meant and you know it, Tommy. You and I both know the real reason you came here today wasn't to talk about my music. The reason you came here was to talk about us and Tommy, I hate to break it to you, but there is no 'Us'. Get over it already." Why was I being so cold to him? Oh, god, those eyes. How can I be mean to someone with those eyes?

"Jude, you blew it way out of proportion. Ok, I'm going to be honest with you." He took a deep breath before he stood up and met his eyes with hers. Baby Blue meets Grey-Blue. He then took her hand in his and looked down playing with her fingers. "I don't want you to leave, not just because of the song, but because…..because of me, Jude."

"Tommy, how long are we going to do this? You know that it wouldn't work out. We both have two separate lives now. You live here, and I live in New York. As much as I want it to work, it just won't. I'm sorry." she let go of his hand and walked into the kitchen.

"And why won't you even try? Jude, I think we can make it work, you're just scared."

"Tommy, I am scared, I am scared of putting my heart out there again and getting it stomped on, you of all people should know how truly scared I am, and that's why I cant do this. I am leaving in a few days, and that's it. I'm sorry." She looked at him for the first time since she had been in town, with truth behind her eyes. She loved him with all her heart, but she couldn't do that, not again.

I noticed that no one reviewed my last chapters. tear I'm sorry if this story sucks and if it does, maybe I shouldn't continue it. If you like it, please tell me, and if you don't well you can tell me that too. But please read and review.
