"What happened?" Portia asked when she walked through the door and heard the door to Jude's room slam.

"We had a fight," she said solemnly.

"About what?"

"Just, stuff I guess."

"Oh," Portia said calmly as the doorbell rang.

Jamie Andrews was greeted at the door by Jude. She looked so different, so not Jude. Her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail and she wore jeans and a black spaghetti strap shirt. Something Jamie had never seen her in.

"Hey you guys!" She exclaimed as she put a fake smile on her face and hugged Jamie, Kat, and Shay.

"Hey shorty," he said as he picked her up and kissed her on the cheek. He also recieved a cold, hard glare from Tommy.

Portia's eyes burned holes through Tommy as if warning him to not start anything. "Hey Kat," he said, pulling her into a quick hug.

"Um hi Tommy," she said awkwardly.

"Andrews," Tommy said, shaking his hand.

Jamie nodded his head, shook his hand, and went to stand by Kat.

"Quincy," Shay said, finally releasing Jude from his grip.

"Shay Shay," Tommy said, his voice dripping with disdain. Being nice to Shay while Jude was in the hospital was one thing, this on the other hand, was a totally different situation.

"Good to see you."

"Yeah, likewise," he said sarcastically.

Jude glared at both of them. She did not need the usual bickering that went on between the two, not today.

"Well I guess we could get ready to go up to the lake now," Sadie said, trying to break the ice.

"Yeah," Jude said. "Do you have that bikini for me?"

Shay's eyes instantly perked up when he heard the last part of Jude's dialogue.

"Yeah of course. Come on," Sadie said leading her sister into her room.

Tommy sighed and assigned rooms to everyone before he went back to his room to change.

"What are you trying to do to me Sadie?" Jude asked as she tugged on the bikini bottoms. "They're like super super low-rise."

Sadie laughed as she pulled on a jacket over her plain bubblegum pink bikini. "Well that's what the tag said. Look, do you want Tommy or not?"

"Well yes, but don't I kind of have him already?"

"Just wear it Jude. It looks good. I know Kwest would fall over if I could pull that bikini off, and you can so just work it."

"Fine," she said as she pulled on a pair of sweats and a baggy sweatshirt. "Work it...yeah like I know how to do that," she mumbled to herself as she walked out of the room.

A half hour later the groupd was finally ready to go and they made the short trek up the mountain and arrived at the lake.

Kwest was the first one to strip down and jump in the cool, blue lake, followed by Jamie, Shay, and finally Tommy. The girls on the other hand were taking their time.

"What are you doing?" Kwest asked Sadie.

"What does it look like? I'm going to set my blanket out and tan."

Kwest gave Jamie an odd look, shrugged, and they went back to goofing around.

Portia set her towel beside Sadie and spread some lotion over her body. Her white halter top bikini made her look even darker and more exotic. "No wonder Tommy had married her," Jude thought to herself. She was sitting by a tree, still dressed in her sweats and sweatshirt. After the fight she'd had with Tommy, she didn't really feel like having fun.

"Hey," a dripping wet Kwest said as he sat down by Jude.

"Hi."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Jude said quietly as she watched Tommy swim around in the lake.

"Sure," Kwest said. "Your not the type of girl to sit around while everyone else is having fun. Your not like Sadie," he laughed. "Did you and Tommy fight?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say that."

"The best way to show Tommy that is doesn't bother you is to come and have some fun with us."

"I don't feel like having fun right now Kwest."

"They you might as well forget about Tommy," Kwest said bluntly. When he saw the hurt expression on her face, his tone softened. "Look I've never seen Tommy look at another girl like he looks at you. Even Portia has noticed it. But, if you decide to play the angsty teen girlfriend all the time, that'll be it."

"I know. But, it's just...hard."

"Yours and Tommy's relationship will be harder than most. There's no way around it. But if you decide to wait long enough over here and look so depressed, Shay is bound to make his way over here and put the moves on."

"He wouldn't do that."

"Oh really? You went out with the guy, but I don't think you really know who he is."

"He knows Tommy and I are together."

"Sure he knows, but does he care? Has another guy ever stopped him before?"

"No, but things between us...they're over, they've been over for a long time."

"I know, I'm just warning you."

"Fine, I'll come swimming," she said as she quickly shed her sweats and the baggy sweatshirt to reveal tiny black binkini bottoms with a small, hot pink, music note on the right hip. The top was a halter, also black, showed a good amount of cleavage, and had a pink music note on the left shoulder.

"Wow. Sadie really meant what she said when shd told me she bought you a hot bikini."

"Shut up Kwest," she said as she quickly folded her arms over her chest.

"Fine, fine. All I'm saying is Tommy should be checked for blindness and then shot if he doesn't notice you."

"Yeah sure. I'm all pale and I'm way too skinny."

"You look fine Jude, don't worry. Let's go have some fun," he said as he stood up and led her over to the side of the lake.

Tommy was swimming makeshift laps when he looked up and saw Jude stripping her clothes off. What she was wearing underneath those messy, baggy clothes was not normal Jude Harrison. This bikini was even more revealing than the last one he'd seen her in.
