Chapter 13: Don't say you love me.

Weeks went by slowly as Tommy and Lucy became closer to each other. Lucy seemed genuinely happy while Tommy was still hung up on Jude.

"I had a good time tonight, Tommy," Lucy said to him as he walked her up to her door.

"I did too, Luce," he replied, half-heartedly. Her name is starting to sound a lot like Jude's… He leaned down and kissed her gently.

"Uh, Tommy, there's something that I want to say to you."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Well, it's kind of an important thing."

"Alright."

"It's a big thing to say."

"Just say it."

"I love you."

Tommy froze in that moment. How could he of all people have such an effect on this girl? He still felt things for Jude… It took him forever for him to tell her how he felt and he really did love her. But Lucy wasn't Jude… "I, um, I- I don't know what to say."

"And I don't expect you to say anything."

"I'm sorry, I just don't feel the same way, yet."

"I know that. But I have a feeling that things will change."

"They might."

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye."

She gave him a peck on the lips and ran inside.

Tommy climbed into his Viper and drove off. Why did she have to say that to him? They hadn't even been going out for that long. It seemed to be moving so fast… He just didn't feel the same as she felt about him.

He turned on the radio, hoping to distract his mind.

Got introduced to you my friend
You were cute and all that, baby you set the trend
Yes you did oh
The next thing I know were down at the cinema
We're sitting there, you said you loved me
What's that about?

You're moving too fast, I don't understand you
I'm not ready yet, baby I can't pretend
No I can't
The best I can do is tell you to talk to me
It's possible, eventual
Love will find a way
Love will find a way...

Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time

Here's how I play, here's where you stand
Here's what to prove to get any further than where it's been
I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice
Take it slow, you keep pushing me
You're pushing me away
Pushing me away...

oooo, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
na, na, na, na, na, na
oooo, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Don't say you love me
You don't even know me baby...

Baby don't say love me, baby
Give me some time...

"You got that right," Tommy muttered to himself as he entered his apartment.

The dream that Tommy that night seemed different in some way.

He walked up to Jude and hugged her. "Hi Jude."

"Hey, Tommy," she replied cheerfully. "How's Lucy?"

"I still feel so bad for moving on."

"Well, it was needed."

"No, it wasn't."

"I would've been happy just being me with no girl."

"But I don't want you to waste your life."

"I'm not."

"Not now that you're dating."

"I wasn't wasting it before I started dating her."

"Why didn't you tell her that you love her?"

"Because I don't."

"But you will."

"No, I won't."

"Eventually you will."

"I don't know…"

"Just think about it, okay?"

"I guess."

He woke suddenly. "Whoa…" He grabbed the phone from his bedside stand and dialed Sadie's number.

"Hello?" She mumbled.

"Were you asleep?" He asked, surprise.

"Tommy?"

"Yeah."

"It's three in the morning, of course I was asleep."

"Didn't the dream wake you up?"

"I didn't have a dream."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, it's three in the morning. Of course everything I say is going to be true."

"Now that I think about it, you weren't in the dream."

"So you had a dream that I didn't?"

"Yeah, has that ever happened to you?"

"Nope."

"Strange."

AN: Odd… I'm running out of ideas so I might end it soon. I have a huge idea for the end… so… yeah. Anyways, R&R
