Tommy gently nodded and slowly walked to the door. He took a deep breath, walked into the studio, and sat in a chair beside Jude.
"Why are you making me leave?"
"Because I can't have anything else happen to you."
"I'll be fine...if I stay here with you."
"Jude," Tommy started.
"What? You don't want to see me anymore? Can't bare to look at me and not think of what happened!" she yelled.
"It's nothing like that," Tommy said softly.
"Well it has to be something. Oh I know, it's gotta be some manly ego thing. Like your brother got there first!" Jude screamed.
"Jude stop!"
"Why?" she yelled, tears now running freely down her face.
"Because not one thing you just said is even remotely true. I love you Jude. It bothers me that you were hurt but it does not change how I see you."
"How do you see me?" she pleaded for an answer through her red-rimmed eyes.
"I see a courageous, young woman who has a fiery spirit and a quick disposition. I see a beautiful girl whom I love to death. But, while I see all those great and wonderful things, I also see a scared little girl who doesn't know who to trust. So, instead she pushes everyone away purely because of the fear of getting hurt."
Jude didn't move a muscle, the look on her face shocked. Tommy knew her better than anyone.
"I see all that." Tommy assured her.
"I don't want to leave you."
"I know and I don't want you to go either, but you have to Jude."
"Why don't you come back with us?"
"I have to stay here Jude. Maybe work on that solo album," he joked.
A small smile creeped upon Jude's face. "I still think you should record Frozen."
"The only way I will ever record that song is if we sing it together."
Jude wipes her eyes and looked at Tommy. The pure blue objects bore into her soul like a million needles. "Will you call me?"
"Of course I will, everyday. I'll even e-mail and you know how much I hate computers."
"Jude looked at him with loving eyes. "How long is this going to last?"
"Not sure," he said quietly.
"Oh."
"Jude," Kwest called. "You should probably get pakced so we can go."
A small groan of protest was emitted from Jude's body.
"Come on, I'll help," Tommy offered as he grabbed her hand.
Jude followed Tommy into her room and started packing. She was eerily quiet and Tommy started to worry about her.
"What's wrong?" he tenderly asked.
"I just, I don't like being in this room."
"Oh," he said quietly, mentally slapping himself for not thinking of that himself.
Jude shoved a few pairs of heans in her suitcase and quickly finished pakcing.
"Ready?" Kwest asked as she walked out of the room with Tommy close behind.
"I guess," she said timidly.
Kwest grabbed her bag and took it out to the car. Sadie followed so Jude and Tommy could say goodbye.
"I'll see you later girl."
"Yeah," she said, holding back tears.
"Hey," he said as he pulled her into a tight hug. "I'll be back home with you before you know it."
"I know. I'm just going to miss you."
"I'll miss you too," he said as he leaned in to kiss her soft, red lips. She gently pulled away and looked down and he instead opted to kiss her forehead. "You should get going."
"I love you," she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him one last time before pulling away and walking out the door. Hot tears fell down her cheeks as she opened the door to the car.
