Chapter 2- Broken Promises…But You Don't Really Mind

Disclaimer Thinger: Okay, so obviously I do not own "The Scientist". The scientist is owned by Coldplay, and their writers…I don't own Tim or Alexz or Instant Star…they all own themselves….Any way, I'll get this on the road!

Ugh…Old age was getting to me…2 fifteen year olds living with a 41 year- old…Some days I wish she were here to help…like the days when T won't get out of bed…Or when Jen went on her first date last year…yeah, that was a fun one…I think TJ and JC did over time that night…playing the children, and mom telling dad to back off…And god,…The mornings when Jen won't get out of bed because "She just wants to die…" That's easy… "I hurt your mom just as much at your age…trust me, I'd know… I felt the pain too…"

There are times where they'll ask me if I want to go see her with them…they go together…but me? No…I think it'd be too hard to go with them…today will be the first time…But half the stuff I still have…Jen will go off to an all girls school, as per her request, and some help from Sadie and Liam…she'll leave in 2 weeks…How I'll handle it, I have no clue…Let me tell you…she's her mother's daughter…with my eyes, of course…She's got the voice of an angel…and she's just as stubborn…but she's got my feelings…hide's them behind a steel wall…But we break each other down…Tom…he's easy…but he's also the guy taking 4 girls out in a week…That one…he'll cause enough trouble before the end of the year…but she'll tell me how to figure it out…

Flashback

"Hey, girl…what'cha workin' on?"

She sat on the front porch of the farmhouse, strumming a few notes on her guitar.

"Trying to get out a song…but it's just not coming…I dunno what to do…"

"Let me see…." He looked at the song, but couldn't come up with anything. From there, somehow they launched into a fight about how he spends so much time working with her music, that they never have time for each other…That was a fight that lasted for about 3 days…

3 Days Later

"Hey, girl, come here…" She walked over and sat next to me.

"What? I've got music to write, Quincy…"

"I've got a song I want you to hear…."

"Okay…"

I began to play, but then stopped.

"What Quincy? I don't have all day?"

"Play…on your guitar…."
"Fine…" She strummed along as I played on the piano….

"Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry,
You don't know how lovely you are,
I had to find you, tell you I need you,
And tell you I set you apart,
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions,
Oh lets go back to the start,
Running in circles, coming in tails,
Heads on a science apart,

Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part,
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard,
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures,
Pulling the puzzles apart,
Questions of science, science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart,
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me,
Oh and I rush to the start,
Running in circles, chasing tails,
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy,
Oh it's such a shame for us to part,
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard,
I'm going back to the start"

Tommy opened his eyes, and saw tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry…"

She sat there, not knowing what to say.

"I…I'm sorry too…I over reacted..."

They kissed, and then he put the newly recorded song onto a Compact Disc, and set it in a box with all his other demos.

Flashback Ends

You know…sometimes we spent so much time fighting, that we could've spent happy…it was amazing that we didn't kill each other…I miss my girl though…I wish I could have her back some, no, most days…There are days where I keep myself busy, so that I don't have to think about how much I miss her…After the age of 13, the twins' friends started throwing them parties…And then it got hard…I didn't have things to do that would take up the time during that day…so I'd write all day…or I'd work my As off in the studio…It was easier than sitting at home, and being surrounded by all these pictures…Like that one…there on the dresser…We'd taken it the day of the wedding…She was beautiful in her gown… "Simple, but elegant" as she'd put it…she didn't want something all frilly with feathers and flowers, just something simple, but something that she stood out in…And when she couldn't find it in stores, she eventually persuaded Kat into making it for her…

Any way…Jen asked me to pick out some things of Ju-…Her mothers that she could take up to school. She didn't want to leave the presence of her mother behind…And I understood that…almost 15 it'd been, and I still couldn't let go of her things…I think maybe I'll just keep it all, and give half to each of the kids…that's what Jude would've wanted, I think…

But as much as I loved that girl, we still had our fights…One of the few times that we had a truly horrible one, it could've cost me everything, had I not come back to apologize…

Flashback

2 Months Later

"Come on, Tommy! Why do you always do this!"

She'd just said "I love you"…He stood there, shocked.

"Look Jude...I just…you caught me off guard…"
"Last I checked, that happens in a lot of relationships, but people still say it back!"

"I just…I…"

"You know what, Tommy…go!I don't need this right now!"

"Jude, I –"

"Go!"

He walked out, as she stood in the studio, tears rolling down her face. While she stood there, he walked to his car. When he got to the car, he started it, but his anger got the best of him, as he pounded the wheel, as the tears emerged…she was the only girl who could do this to him…UGH!

Meanwhile

Jude wiped the tears, as more emerged. She heard the elevator door open and shut, but she didn't turn around. He deserved a little more of the cold shoulder. Especially if he was coming to play "The Scientist…" He knew that would get her to forgive him, and quickly…But someone else walked into 520. Who ever it was, walked up behind her, and gripped her tightly around the waist. "Ow...Tommy, stop!"

"Oh…But poor Little Tommy Q left already…he's not here to save you…" Who

ever it was, let her go and she turned around…Jamie….

"Jaim…what're you doing?"

"Oh, come on Jude…you know you want it…" He shoved her onto the floor with one swift push, and climbed on top of her. "Jamie…STOP!"

He tore her shirt open, forcing himself upon her. She tried to hit him, but he forced her hands behind her head. "Jaim…Stop!...Please!" She tried to force him off, but he grabbed her by the hair, and smashed her head against she ground. Things went to black for her, but he continued. He pulled her pants down near her knees, and the proceeded in is conquest. After about 10 minutes, she began to come around, and he heard the door open upstairs. He jumped off of her, and tried to leave, just as Tommy entered the room. "Jamie, what're you…" He saw Jude laid out on the floor, with blood all over the floor below her, and then quickly put the pieces together.

"You son of a bit!" Tommy ran at him, and beat the guy down, as Sadie entered the studio. "He guy-" She saw Jude, and then saw Tommy and Jamie. "Tommy! Stop! He's not worth the fight!" Sadie pulled Tommy off of Jamie, as she proceeded to finish up on calling the police. Tommy stood, and walked over to Jude, wrapping the single blanket that sat on the couch, around her. He wrapped her in his arms, as she opened her eyes. Blood poured from the side of her head…she'd need stitches…

The police showed up, and immediately took Jamie away, and Jude began to come around. Tommy held her in his arms, and she clung to him, as the tears poured out. "Shh…I'm here for you girl…" The police asked their questions, and then Jude, Tommy, and Sadie went to the hospital, where they checked everything. After they finished, Stuart came and took the 3 back to the house. When they arrived, Tommy carried her up to her bed.

"I'm sorry that happened, Girl…"

She didn't speak…she just buried her head in his chest, as more tears poured out.

"Tommy?" She looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"Yeah, girl?"

"Don't make me go back…Please…don't make me go back there…."

"You wanna give up 620?" She nodded.

"Okay…I let your dad know when I leave-"

"No…can…could you stay with me tonight…Just for the night…"

"If you can get your dad to say yes, then yeah, I'll stay…"

She okayed it with Stuart, although it didn't take much begging. He felt for her, and knew that this would be hard for her. Tommy stayed the night, and they layed in her bed all night talking about songs that needed to be written, and the what the consequences of taking this to court would do. But at the end of the night (3 O' Clock in the morning), They decided to talk about it all when the time came….

Flashback ends

That was one of the hardest days of my life…the hardest may come today…I don't know how I'll handle it…I think maybe I'll go talk to her before the 3 of us go…Let her know we're coming …but we had to go as a family eventually…

A/N: I know this chapter's pretty long…I'm having fun writing this story, but I haven't yet figured out how I will end it…but it will happen eventually…expect that…anyway, hope you all enjoyed! I'll have an UD up later…
