So I got bored, and here's the latest. Chapter six. Ihope you guys enjoy it, because I enjoyed writing it. I don't own I.S. or the character or The Fray and the song "She Is" I hope I didn't let you down with this chapter and the ones to come, life has been a little more difficult lately.!
"So are you just going to make me stand out here or am I allowed to come in?"
"Oh yeah of course come in sorry I forgot." Tommy said while he let the person walk into his apartment.
"It's been awhile since I've been in here, almost forgot what it looked like."
"Yeah, so I'm still sorry about what happened in the parking lot I shouldn't have went off like that" Tommy says while stuffing his hands in pockets making his way back into the kitchen towards his coffee.
"I understand, you were shocked and a little torn about what to do, I'm sure you're heart and head were saying two different things." The person said trying to understand.
"Yeah, and my head spoke first, God Kwest, I'm so stupid" Tommy said raking his hand through his hair. "How did things get like this, she's the person I've wanted to see for the past year and when I finally see her I freak out and bolt like a mad man."
"Well, Tom I don't know what to tell you, but I do know one thing, when I arrived here I saw her sitting and crying in her mom's car in front of your building. I'm not sure what she's going to do, but I watched her for a little while and she shifted herself to look up at your floor and at your window." Kwest said making his way towards the window and looking seeing if he could see the car Jude was in.
"She's here? Down stairs right now, Do you know if she's coming up?" Tommy asked motioning towards the door, then stopped started to make his way to the window then stopped again went back towards the door. "What the Hell am I doing, I feel like a teenager waiting to leave to go pick up a girl for the prom, I need to sit down." Tommy made his way to the kitchen and plopped down on a stool and leaned his head on his hands.
"Tommy, I think you need to calm down, because I know Jude wants to talk to you but she's not sure if you want to talk to her, so do you want me to go and tell her to come up or that she should come by another time?" Kwest asked trying to be a good friend.
"No, let her wait outside, she'll make her own decision."
"Oh ok, well here, she recorded this today after you stormed off, I'm sure she'd want you to be the first person to hear it and give some suggestions, theirs no music to it yet, she probably wasn't sure if she should go acoustic or piano, but I think Piano would fit this well."
"Alright, thanks man I'll listen to it later, right now I just need to think."
"Ok, man I'll see you in two days"
"Alright."
"Man, just one more thing, Don't worry about that Jake dude, I don't think Jude's his type"
"What do you mean "not Jude's type?"" Tommy using his first two fingers to quote his words.
"Let's just say Jake likes to ride the rainbow" Kwest smirks
"Oh. Alright, that's a relief"
"Yes, you have no idea. See you man" Kwest walks towards the door
"Bye"
Kwest left Tommy's apartment but left his door open ajar, walked out of the building while Tommy made his way to his window to see if he could spot Jude. As Kwest walked outside he checked and noticed Tom staring out his window so he made it easier for him, he instead of walking to his Jeep made his way shaking his head to Jude's car and knocked on the window startling her.
"What are you doing here?" Jude said as she rolled down the window.
"Oh, you know just visiting a friend" Kwest smiled while gesturing his head towards the window Tommy was standing at.
"Do you think he can see us?"
"Jude, he can see anything he wants, It Tommy for Christ's sakes" Kwest reassured her
"So if I decided to hop out of the car right now and run up to his room he'd see me?"
"He'd notice you running out of your car, but he won't know where you'd be going. Why?" Kwest wondered, where was she getting at?
"Oh Ok, I have a present for him, because I knew I was coming back for his birthday and I just wanted to leave it in front of his door then leave, now I'm not quite sure."
"Well, you should do it, maybe he'll go to bed soon, he looked pretty tired, well I'm going to go home, I'll see you in the morning"
"Yeah, I guess you're right, Ok I'll see you in the morning, thanks for the chat again Kwest"
"No problem that's what I'mhere for." Kwest says waves by to Jude walks over to his Jeep and waves up to the window Tommy's standing up and receives one back and then he's gone out of sight. Leaving Jude in her car and Tommy standing at his window.
"Ok, Jude it's now or never" She said to herself.
She sat in the car looking at the window and when she noticed Tommy was gone and the lights were off she got out and made her way into the apartment building inside and towards the elevator. She waited until it opened and stepped in pressed the "4" button and waited 'til it binged and she walked through the doors.
"Ok Jude, you can do this, just drop off the present and leave, he'll never notice that you were there."
As she made her way down the lonely dark hallway she stopped in front of the last door, his door, number "49" She bent down and placed the wrapped gift on the floor before his door, when she heard a beautiful melody coming from the other side of the door. She listened intently until she heard his voice of pain, love, and hurt softly speak to her.
"She Is" By the FRAY!
"Do not get me wrong I cannot wait for you to come home
For now you're not here and I'm not there, it's like we're on our own
To figure it out, consider how to find a place to stand
Instead of walking away and instead of nowhere to land
This is going to break me clean in two
This is going to bring me close to you
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
It's all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down
I don't know where it is, I don't know when, but I want you around
When it falls into place with you and I, we go from if to when
Your side and mine are both behind it's indication
This is going to bring me clarity
This'll take the heart right out of me
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
This is going to bring me to my knees
I just want to hold you close to me
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
She is everything I needed
She is everything
Halfway through the song, Jude turned the knob on Tommy's door and saw him sitting on his couch with candles around him, with his eyes closed singing a song, that was obviously about Jude. She wasn't watching where she was walking she was only looking at Tommy when she bumped into coffee table next to the door. He jerked his head towards the sound with eyes open, seeing her for the second time that night giving her an incredulous look.
"What are you doing here?" he asked her actually glad to see that she came up
"I'm sorry I was dropping something off and I heard you playing, it was beautiful I'm sorry if I interrupted you, I should go" Jude said while taking her gaze away from him so he couldn't see her eyes, that were red and blotchy from crying. She started backing up towards the door, when Tommy sprung to his feet.
"That, still doesn't explain why you are in my home" He said walking towards her.
"I don't know why I walked in, I'm sorry, it was the song it spoke to me, I guess" Jude said while still backing towards the door. "I….I need to go"
She walked quickly out the door closing it behind her and she leaned against it, breathing heavily. As Tommy was leaning on the other side, sighing. Why couldn't he talk to her? Why couldn't he ask her all the things he wanted to say? Why didn't he wrap his arms around her and kiss her like he did so many times in his dreams?
Tommy had all those questions buzzing through his head and now see seemed like the time for answers, he quickly turned around and opened the door, to see nothing and when he stepped out he felt something crinkle under his bare foot. He looked down and saw what Jude was talking about. He picked it up, looked up and down the hallway for any signs of her, shook his head and vanished back into his lonely apartment. He retreated to his bedroom and sat down on the edge, and stared at the wrapped gift in his hands, he took a deep breathe and opened it revealing.
Ok so there you have it hope you weren't too disappointed. I lOve the Fray so I might use some more songs from their new album. You know the drill if you read it and like it reply.. Thanks
