Jude hoped that her mom would see things her way but there was still the chance her mom would be a total mom and force her to come. When her mom finally got off the phone she waited nervously for what her answer was.

"So about you moving in with Tommy, I don't think it's a great idea."

"Well I can always move in with dad."

"No there's no need to involve your father. You can move in with Tommy on one condition."

"Anything."

"You'll be good."

"I will mom, I promise."

"And I want weekly phone calls, progress reports from your teachers, and most of all for you to happy even if it involves someone 6 years older than you."

"How did you know?"

"It was obvious, the way you were always working late and always with Tommy."

"So you're not mad?"

"No I'm thrilled but just be careful. Now Sadie we leave at the end of the week so I think we should start packing."

"I love you mom."

"I love you too honey." Jude gave her mother the biggest hug before rushing up to her room. She packed everything and couldn't help but feel sad that her family was moving out of her childhood home. The memories came rushing back as Jude packed that it was a little too overwhelming. She fought back the tears of sadness and joy when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Tommy standing behind her with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing here?"

"Sadie called me and said I might wanna come over."

"Oh so I'm guessing she told you?"

"Yeah and I'm thrilled. And your mom gave me the 'you hurt my daughter I'll hunt you down and kill you' speech. But I don't want to hurt you anymore, I love you Jude and now we can be together."

"Yeah but what's gonna happen if someone finds out?"

"I talked to Georgia after I talked to you."

"You did?" Jude looked at Tommy anxiously.

"Yeah and she's thrilled but she thinks it would be a good idea to keep it out of the press until after the album comes out. That way we can at least say that we grew close while recording."

"Okay." She sat down on her bed and looked at her room for the last time before she and Tommy grabbed her stuff. She hugged her mom and Sadie for the last time before they left for LA.

After Jude was all settled in Tommy's place they went out to dinner with Quest and EJ. Quest was happy for Tommy and Jude finally admitting that they were together while EJ was busy working on how to tell the press. Both didn't know that they were living together.

"So Jude how's the family?" Quest asked as EJ was blabbing on and on to Tommy who looked bored stiff.

"They're moving to LA."

"You're moving?" He asked right after she said moving.

"No, my mom's let me move in with Tommy."

"You're living together?" EJ asked with excitement in her voice.

"Yeah, I mean I couldn't move to LA. So I just have to keep up my end of the deal and things will be fine.

"This is great." Quest noticed that Tommy hadn't quit smiling the whole night. It was good seeing Tommy happy again and he hoped it would last. After dinner the foursome went to the mall so that EJ and Jude could have fun leaving Quest and Tommy alone.

"So I noticed that you haven't quit smiling all night."

"I'm happy."

"Let's hope it'll last."

"I'm gonna do whatever it takes to keep her. I mean its love man."

"I know."

"How are you holding up? I mean after the whole messy breakup with Melinda."

"I'm with someone else."

"Who?"

"EJ."

"Dude why didn't you tell me? I thought we were best friends."

"We are but we wanted to see if things would work. But I think that since you got the guts to tell Georgia and EJ about you and Jude, I could tell you about me and EJ."

"That's great, now maybe she'll be nicer."

"Yeah really." Jude and EJ came up loaded with bags and bags.

"I'm ready to go." Tommy whispered in EJ's ear.

"I'm happy for you guys." He kissed her cheek before Jude pulled him out of the mall. "EJ and Quest are together."

"I know, EJ told me while we were shopping. I'm happy that Quest found someone who makes him happy."

"Yeah just like me."

"Tommy stop." He pulled her close and kissed her. Things were going to be great and he wasn't going to run this time. He was staying with the one girl he loved with all of his heart.
