Anddddd I also know that I have stopped replying the reviews, but I read every one of them and I THANK YOU ALL for bearing with me. once again, sorry it took so long..and sorry for it being so short. Hope you all forgive me :-$ Oh yeah, And chapter 7 thing wasn't supposed to be in chapter 6, so we're just pretending all of it was chapter 6 now lol
Chapter7 -
The carride was silent and Tommy didn't know where to take her. He kept glancing at her but she kept staring down at her feet.
"I wish I coulda finished my song, ya know?" she said
"You will, it'll come in time" Tommy assured. "Uh, Are we wasting my gas or..."
"Sorry...um,I don't really know where we can go" Jude said, laughing a little.
"You wanted to work on your song, right?" Tommy asked, Jude nodded. Saying no more, he now knew his destination.
They parked and walked to the entrance. The sign said "Cohen Botannical Gardens". Jude smiled and looked at Tommy.
"A garden place?" She asked. Tommy shrugged.
"It's quiet enough"
"so thats why you brought my guitar in"
"You said you wanted to work on your song"
They walked inside slowly. Jude was admiring the flowers and plants, and the lovely aroma of the place. Everything was so colorful, so vibrant, and for the first time in a while Jude felt like she could be happy and not worry about finding something to hurt her just around the corner. Tommy walked behind her, carrying her guitar for her the whole time. She stopped to examine some of the flowers and read what they were, but she grew bored with the learning part of it and kept walking, trying desperately to keep her crutches from falling under her. Finally, she found the place she wanted to practice at.
"Here!" Jude said, hopping faster to the place. Tommy smiled. He was hoping she'd choose this spot. The spot she picked was a beautiful wishing fountain. It was huge, and had 6 spouts shooting out from it. Jude searched her pocket for a coin. She shut her eyes tight and made a wish, tossing it into the foutain. She placed aside her crutches and sat on the edge of the fountain, begging to hold her guitar. Tommy handed it to her and sat beside her. He removed it from its case for her, and she resumed playing her song.
"Hey..you didn't make a wish" Jude stated.
"Am I supposed to?" Tommy asked
"It is a wishing well" Jude reminded.
"Right" Tommy grabbed a coin from his pocket. He looked at her, and she was asking him to wish with her eyes. He didn't close his eyes or anything. He just looked at the coin for a moment before tossing it in. Jude smiled. She doubted he even made a wish, but at least he did something to show he cared. She strummed at her guitar again, picking up random chords and placing them together like puzzle pieces. Falling underneath the serenity of the garden and the fountain, the lyrics flowed out of her, and she sang with more emotion than Tommy had ever heard her sing. He was wondering how she was even intact, she wasn't crying or anything, her eyes and her face showed every ounce of pain she had inside her though. She didn't even need the tears to show that. She strummed the last chord and Tommy clapped his hands.
"What?" She asked, laughing a little. She wiped her eye from a tear that threatened to fall.
"That was..Unbelievable" Tommy said, getting lost in her eyes.
"You say something like that every time" Jude replied "But thanks"
"But every time I mean it" Tommy defended. "It's not like I just say it"
"I know" Jude assured.
"Hey..." Tommy looked back in the fountain
"Yeah?"
"What'd you wish for"
"And ruin it?" She asked
"It's just me. I think the superstition fairies will forgive you if you just tell me"
"You don't wanna know" She said, brushing the question away.
"Yes I do" And he brought it right back.
"...I just.." She began
"Just what?" He asked
"I just wished that I could let myself trust you again..." She admitted. His eyes widened just a little bit and he looked away.
"What did YOU wish for?" She questioned, growing an evil smirk.
"And ruin it!" He mocked.
"Come on, for real"
"I wished that you would trust me again too" Tommy said, smiling at her with that same smile that made her melt every time she saw it. He leaned in slowly, to see what she'd do. She wasn't doing anything. She was just gazing into his eyes. He leaned in a little closer, and her eyes started to close. Finally, their lips met, and for a moment, Jude wanted to pull away. But she didn't, and Tommy scooted closer to her, not breaking the kiss at all. He placed his hand behind her head and rubbed her neck gently, making her stomach churn. His tongue begged for access and she allowed it to roam freely. Things began getting heated, and Jude pulled away to get some air. She looked over at two little old ladies walking along the gardens, eyeing Tommy and Jude like they'd just been caught smuggling guns or something. Jude smiled a little bit and bit her lip, running her tongue along it to keep his taste with her.
"You trust me now?" He asked.
"I'm not sure..." She said. She glared at the floor, searching inside herself for some ounce of trust in her.
"Jude, please" Tommy looked over at her and took her face in his hands. "I won't her you girl"
Jude looked into his eyes and saw the emotion in them. She knew he was telling the truth. She tried to look away but her eyes were locked on his. She swallowed hard. Tommy removed his hands from her face and packed her guitar.
"It's fine" He said. "Really"
"Tommy" She touched his hand, bringing it closer to her. He looked over. "I trust you"
Tommy's lips formed a smile
"Thank you" He said. He took her in his arms and hugged her tightly, letting go at such impact that she almost fell in the fountain.
"I should go home" Jude said "Mom will be mad"
"alright" Tommy handed her the crutches and she got up on them, walking out to the car.
They pulled up to the Harrison house. The only car in the driveway was Sadie's, and Jude knew her mom wasn't home. She leaned in and kissed Tommy fully on the lips for a brief moment.
"See you in 2 weeks" She smiled.
"2 weeks" He repeated. "Hey, Jude?"
"yeah?"
"Are we..."
"Yeah, Tommy. If you wanna be" She shrugged and hopped inside. She pretended like it wasn't a big deal, but her heart was pounding so fast and her thoughts were focused on Tommy and Tommy alone. This is going to be a long two weeks...
A/N: told you it would be short... Review please, rant at me for not making it longer and quicker lol. I'm sorry about that, really... like I said, I just dont feel the story anymore. i'll try my best.
