Ok the weekend is here and I wanted to get another chapter out, by far this is my favorite chapter, because I love the winter and snow and well living in F.L. doesn't really help... I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I loved writing it. Again I own nothing to do with I.S. and the character or Sarah McLachlan or the song "Stupid" I hope you guys enjoy
Tommy, sat holding the present Jude had given him, he smiled. It was a photo album, pictures of Tommy and Jude from the first time she preformed at the Vinyl Palace, some of Kwest, Tommy, and herself goofing off in the recording studio, then one from her sixteenth birthday. Another one from when Jude and Tommy were caught catching some zzzz's on the couch in the lounge (he smiled at that one). Then there was one of Jude and Tommy at the beach, sitting on a blanket both holding their guitars, and other miscellaneous pictures, that made Tommy chuckle, always the ones with their goofy faces we're to the back, but the one that was marked was in the exact middle of the photo Album, he opened to it, and smiled sadly remembering the memory.
Flashback
"Tommy, please look outside, it's snowing why are we stuck in here trying to record a song, when we can be outside playing in the snow?" Jude wined.
"Because, Jude we aren't five years old" Tommy retorted almost teasingly, when he knew that he would give in and go outside with her, because they were officially stuck on the new song.
"Please…. OH-PUH-LEASE, Tommy, you know you want me out there in the snow, all to yourself, and besides when we come back in we can make some hot chocolate" Jude said while licking her lips
"Oh, God," Tommy thought "If she keeps doing that I definitely won't be need hot chocolate, and I should just run outside right now to cool myself off. Gosh, Why does she do that to me?" All those thoughts were running through Tommy's mind. Then he decided right then and there, he got up from his seat, went and grabbed his coat put on a beanie, and some gloves smiled at Jude and said.
"Beat you down there"
"Tommy that's not fair, I haven't even gotten my shoes on yet!"
"To bad so sad, would you like me to cry for you" As he said all this he ducked to avoid getting hit with a shoe. "Hey watch it that was close."
"Whatever, let's go, me you snow ball fight I'll kick your ass"
"Hey watch it I'm sensitive, and I don't think you'll be able to kick my ass anyways" Tommy and Jude conversed over who could make a better snow ball and snow angel when they finally made their way outside.
"Damn, it's a lot colder than I thought, Tommy why did you come up with this idea" Jude said smiling at him knowing she could get under his skin that way.
"Harrison, shut it, this was your idea, now a few words of wisdom" Tommy said while stepping closer to her
"What"
"Run" Tommy took off in her direction while Jude started running frantically around the farm house, where they were spending the weekend trying to come up with a new song.
"Tommy, comeon stop chasing me I can't…….. Ahh!" Jude couldn't finish her sentence, because she tripped over her boots and fell face first into the snow.
"Wait Jude stay there" As Tommy comes running up to her, throws himself into the snow next to her and pulls out a camera while lifting her face out of the snow and towards the camera "say Cheese" and he snapped a photo of the two of them one with a snow covered face and one with a devilish smile.
"Quincy You're dead"
"Oh my those are touching words, Jude"
"Shut it" Jude spat at Tommy
"Make me"
"Oh I don't think you would want me to" Jude said while trying to get herself up out of the snow only to be pulled down back down by Tommy, but in a new position on top of him
"Oh I think I do" And with that he captured his lips with hers.
Jude's first instinct was to pull away, but then she would have thought that if this was a mistake Tommy would've pulled away first, so she did what any other girl did when they were being kissed, she kissed back. Tommy deepened the kiss by putting his hands on the lower part of her back bring her closer when she pulled away.
"I guess we don't need that hot chocolate anymore" She said with her nose and ears red.
"No…I… guess…not" Tommy said while breathing heavily. "I think we should head back in before it starts to snow or gets even colder"
Jude just nodded, she didn't know what to think she got up off of Tommy and wiped the remaining snow off of herself. The two walked back to the farmhouse with out speaking a word in between them and that's how the rest of the weekend went, they did end up recording a killer track, but never talking about the kiss they had in the snow or what it meant, they just happened to pretend that it never happened.
End Of flashback
"I was such a fool, I could have had a chance to be with her right then and there, but no I was to stupid and worried about my reputation and I didn't give a damn about how Jude felt."
Tommy decided that it would have been for the best if he closed the album and when he did something fell out, something that Jude never intended Tommy to see. He picked it up and opened it revealing song lyrics marked dated a week after the picture was taken at the farmhouse, that meant that Jude was already planning this trip and she had been thinking about Tommy's present months in advance. Tommy quickly skimmed over them once, then took the time to read them again. He sighed as he read them one more time.
"Stupid" by: Sarah McLachlan
Night lift up the shades
let in the brilliant light of morning
but steady there now
for I am weak and starving for mercy
sleep has left me alone
to carry the weight of unraveling where we went wrong
it's all I can do to hang on
to keep me from falling
into old familiar shoes
how stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see
love has made me a fool
it set me on fire and watched as I floundered
unable to speak
except to cry out and wait for your answer
but you come around in your time
speaking of fabulous places
create an oasis
dries up as soon as you're gone
you leave me here burning
in this desert without you
how stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see
everything changes
everything falls apart
can't stop to feel myself losing control
but deep in my senses I know
how stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see
As Tommy read the last line, he was thinking "I'm so stupid, I just let her walk away again!"
"DAMN IT" Tommy clenched his fists, he wanted to make thing right between him and Jude, he wanted all his questions answered and he knew that only Jude would give them to him. He walked over to his cell phone and dialed the number.
As Jude was driving home, she for her second time tonight had to pull off the road to wipe the tears away from her eyes and catch her breathe.
"Jude, You need to pull yourself together, Tommy doesn't hate you, Kwest even said so." She kept saying over and over to herself when her phone start chiming "Time To be Your Twenty-One" She smiled remembering who she recorded the song for, but she didn't know how stupid Tommy could have been not to realize it either, or did he because every time Jude had called him from her cell phone he had that same ring tone. With Jude's phone still ringing she took her shaky hand and found it flipped it open without looking at the caller ID and answered
"Hell…..Hello?"
"Jude?"
