AUTHORS NOTE: Okay guys I know this is one of my shortest chapters ever! But, I have to get some stuff done before I type anymore up. I'll prolly get another chapter up by later on this evening. So keep on the lookout for it, and review!

Jude's eyes widened and she quickly looked at Tommy. She bolted off the stage and Tommy quickly followed behind.

"H...how...how do they know," she stammered through sobs.

"I don't know girl," he said as he brought her close to his chest.

"Why would he ask that Tommy, why?" she sobbed.

"I don't know."

"Jude," Sadie, said, dragging Kwest behind her. "Are you alright?"

By this time Jude was hysterical and hyperventilating. Tommy quickly mouthed a few words to Sadie and ushered Jude out the exit door. "Jude you gotta calm down."

She tried to slow her breathing and her crying, but it was a futile attempt.

"Hey, look at me," Tommy said, holding her face and forcing her to look into his eyes. "Everything is going to be okay, but you need to calm down."

Jude gasped for air a few times and finally began to regain her composure. "I...I know."

Tommy took her in his arms again. "I'm so so sorry girl."

"Why would they do that Tommy? As if...as if things weren't already screwed up, now the whole world knows."

"Jude it doesn't matter. Don't let this set you back."

"How did they know?" she ignored his last comment.

"I honestly don't know Jude. I don't think Ryan would be stupid enough to go public with something like that but who knows."
Tommy turned around when he heard the exit door slam and EJ and Georgia emerged from the building.

"Jude, go with EJ in the limo and wait, Tom, I want to talk to you now!"

Jude reluctantly followed EJ to the limo, leaving Tommy to deal with Georgia's wrath.

"What the hell is going on Quincy? You better tell me that Cortez was lying."

"As much as I wish he was, he wasn't."

"God," Georgia paced the parking lot.

Tommuy told the story from start to finish at Georgia's insistence.

"Why didn't she tell us? Moreover, why didn't you tell us?"

"She didn't want anyone's pity G, and I wasn't going to go against her wishes."

"Doesn't she realize she should have went to the doctor?"

"We tried telling her Georgia. It wasn't like we could force her to go."

"Go get in the limo. The rest of us will meet you at G Major."

"Okay," Tommy said as he ran towards the limo. He opened the door and saw a sleeping Jude lying on the leather seat, opposite EJ. "What did you do to her?"

"Nothing! She just fell asleep," EJ explained.

"Sure," he said as the car drove away.
