Chapter 6

The next week, Jude spent her time not doing much. She never came out of her room, except to use the bathroom, and she usually just wrote and played the guitar. It had been a long time since she did so, but she found it was easy to bring back old "habits." Jude spent her time alone, while Tommy was all over the place…

"$200 a month? That's not that bad. I'll take it!" His voice was cheerful, strangely. "Okay, well I'll need 5 months pay upfront and you'll be good. Here's your key." The young man in a suit handed Tommy a silver key, and Tommy handed him the money. "Thank you, sir!" Tommy ran up the stairs, bags in hand, and walked into his new apartment. It was located in New York, not far from Jude, and not far from G Major.

Taking a right, now a left, he finally reached his door. He opened it up and walked inside. It wasn't large, but it wasn't tiny either…it was perfect! After a few hours of unpacking, Tommy fell on his new bed and went to sleep.

The next morning, Tommy woke up, hopped in the shower, and headed down the hall. He looked down at his phone, getting ready to text Kwest, so he could talk to him. Not watching where he was going, he ran into someone. "Oh my, I'm so sorry." The mystery person said. "No, I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. Here let me help you with that." Tommy bent down and began to pick up some papers that were knocked to the ground. He stood back up and finally got a glimpse of who he ran into. Tommy had to admit, she was gorgeous. With light brown and green-gray eyes, she could have been an angel. "Uh, my name's Tommy. I just moved in here." Tommy stuck out his hand. The woman gladly took it. "Nice to meet you, my name's Gabriel. But uh, you can just call me Gabby." A smile came across her face. Tommy instantly loved her smile. "Well, Gabby, I was heading out to breakfast…would you like to join me?" Gabby smiled even wider. "I'd love to." The two of them talked as they went outside, Once there, they decided to walk to a small little diner called Padre Di Pasto.

Jude woke up that same morning in a not so good mood. "Wake up, Jude! We're not just laying around today! Get up! We're going to breakfast, and you're not protesting!" Katie yelled running to her bed and jumping on it. "Okay, okay, I'm up!" Jude got up and got dressed. Within minutes, the two of them were off to a restaurant for food.

"Oh my gosh! Katie, I can't go in there!" Jude whispered. "What are you talking about?" Jude looked worried. Looking past Katie, she saw someone she couldn't face after her sudden outburst. "It's Tommy…"

"You're just gonna have to deal!" Katie yelled at her. Jude knew she would say that but she was hoping she was wrong. Nope. "Fine!"

"So, how long are you here for, Tommy?" Tommy took a sip of his drink before answering. "Actually I'm not sure. I just got here…it was a spur of the moment kind of thing, yeh know?" Gabby shook her head. "Yeah, I know what you mean." Just then, Tommy spotted Jude. He smiled when he saw her, but it vanished when he remembered they were mad at each other. Katie looked at him and smiled. She knew it would make Jude unhappy, but she didn't care. Katie ran over to Tommy, dragging Jude along. "Hey Tommy!" Tommy laughed a little. "Hey Katie!"

"Who's this?"

"Oh, Katie, this is Gabby. Gabby, this is Katie, and uh Jude." Katie and Gabby shook hands. When Gabby went for Jude, Jude just gave her look and she immediately backed off. "So, you guys. Come and join us. There's plenty of room." Tommy said. Gabby's face fell; she grew disappointed at having to share her toy. "Uh…okay." Jude and Katie sat down and ordered.

"Tommy you are so funny!" Gabby giggled and grabbed Tommy's arm. The four of them were walking back to Tommy and Gabby's apartment complex. Gabby was all over him. Flirting with him, laughing at him, all googly-eyed. Jude was beginning to get disgusted…and so was Tommy. "Uh…yeah. So Jude…how…how are you?" They hadn't really talked at all, and Tommy didn't want a blow up from her again. "Good…but can I talk to you…" she looked at Gabby, "alone?" Tommy smiled at how jealous Jude was. "Yeah, come on." By then, they were at their apartment, so they went into Tommy's room.

"Listen…I…I'm really sorry about how I acted before. I was a complete idiot, and I shouldn't have blown up at you!"

"It's okay, Jude. I shouldn't have beaten Speed up…I guess…" Jude smiled at him. "Yes, you should have. I'm glad you did. I just…I can't believe how stupid this all got! I mean…me with Speed…you coming back after 2 years…heck, me running away was probably the most retarded of them all!" Tommy laughed a little. "I missed you, Jude. Really missed you! Like, insane!" Tommy looked like he was about to cry, and he was. Jude could tell, and she was also on the verge of tears. "I really missed you too…" Tommy couldn't take it anymore. He walked quickly over to Jude, grabbed her waist, and kissed her with all the hunger and passion that he held inside.
