Authors Note: Sorry it took so long to update! I kept getting errors when I tried to update. Well, have fun reading this chapter, and read and review.

"Jude! Where have you been? You're all wet!" Sadie said.

"I was up on the roof."

"Do you realize it's ouring out?" Sadie scolded.

"Sadie, I'm fine okay. I just needed to get away to think."

"You're going to get sick if you don't chang out of these wet clothes."

"You sound like mom, and besides I really don't care anymore."

Sadie ignored what Jude was saying and handed her a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. "Go change and go to the conference room. Leila and the doctors want to talk to you."

Jude quickly changed clothes and walked into the room. Two of Tommy's regular doctors and Leila were seated at a round table. "You uh, wanted to talk to me?"

"Jude, why don't you sit down?" Leila said.

"I think I'd rather stand. What's going?"

"Miss Harrison, you understand that Mr. Jack Quincy signed family rights over to you and do you understand what that means?"

Jude nodded her head. "It means, I choose if Tommy stays on life support or not."

"That's correct," the other doctor said. "We need to know what you want for him by tomorrow."

"T--tomorrow?"

"Jude, let's go somewhere we can talk," Leila said quietly grabbing her shoulder and shuffling her out of the room and to a couch in a secluded hallway.

"I don't want to make this decision. I can't Leila."

"Wether you want to or not, you have to."

"How do I choose wether or not to kill the one guy I love?"

"I don't know Jude, it's just something you have to do."

"Will he ever get better?" she asked timidly.

"He," Leila paused for a moment, to gather her thoughts. "No, and even if he would wake up, he'll never be the same Tommy. He'll lay in a vegetative state and he might know what's going on but chances are he won't."

"How can I live with myself if I choose to take him off life support."

"Jude, in a technical state, he's still alive, but in retrospect he's already gone. There is little to no brain activity."

Tears slid down Jude's cheeks. "Then I...I have to do it. I can't let him just lay there forever. He wouldn't want that."

"I'll let you go talk to everyone and let you say goodbye before I let the doctors know."

"Thanks."

"Don't worry about it," Leila said as she hugged Jude. "If it helps any, I think you're making the right decision for everyone."

Jude nodded and walked into the waiting room. Jack, Jessica, Andrew, Sadie, Kwest, Shay, and Portia all sat around the room. What she was going to say would change all of their lives forever. She had no desire to tell them what she had chosen to do, but she knew she had to."

"Everyone, I, I made the decision to take Tommy off life suport." She had told herself she wouldn't cry, but here she was with tears freely flowing.

Jessica was the first to speak. She stood up and held Jude in her arms. "It's okay sweetie," she said as she tried to calm the already sobbing girl. "Any one of us, in your position, would have done the same thing."

Jude ended the embrace and pulled Kwest aside while everyone started to say their goodbyes, one by one.

"Kwest, I, I need to know what Tommy said when he was awake."

"He said he loved you Jude," Kwest said, slightly choking up.

"Jude, it's your turn honey," Jessica said.

Jude knew Tommy had said more to Kwest and Portia but she turned and entered Tommy's room. She sat on the edge of the bed and helf his hand. "I'm not sure you can hear me, or even know that I'm here, but I love you so much Tommy. I don't want to let you go. If there was the slightest chance you could come back to me I wouldn't even think of doing this," she paused for a moment, her voice failing. "Quincy, I know you'd hate being like this for the rest of your life. I know you couldn't live without the music and I can't do that to you baby." She lifted his hand up and placed a kiss on the rough, paper-like skin. She thought about everything that had happened between them. The tense, awkward moments after she had won Instant Star, the kiss that had started everything on her sixteenth birthday, the tour that ended in shambles, the stay at the cabin, the sweet touches of a loving boyfriend to his girlfriend. Everything flooded back to her. She closed her eyes and saw his bright smile, his gorgeous blue eyes, his flirtatious being. Tears slipped past as she thought that there would be no more memories with Tommy, no more kisses, no more gentle, loving touches.

"Jude, it's time," Leila said as she walked over to Tommy and placed a hand on Jude's shoulder.

She shook her head for a few moments as the tears poured out. "No."

"Jude, you know this is for the best. Would you rather come visit him everyday for the rest of your life, and see him like this? Hooked up to machines, being alive, but not really?"

"No, but...I just, I love him so much Leila."

"I know you do honey."

Jude solemnly nodded and watched the doorway as everyone filed in, including Kat and Jamie. Jamie stood behind her, his hand on her shoulder, Kat beside him. Jude stood up and wrapped her arms around Jamie, her best friend. Jamie held her sobbing body as Kat looked on. She broke away from Jamie and hugged Kat. "Thanks for coming guys."

"Jude I'm so sorry," Kat said.

She nodded and sat down beside Tommy again.

The doctor came in and Leila began to turn machines off and take tubes out. Jude held his hand the entire time, vowing she wouldn't leave him to do this alone. The heart monitor scarcely beeped steadily for awhile until Tommy's heart gave out and the flat beep filled the room. Jude heard the gasps and sobs of everyone in the room. Leila quickly turned the beep of the machine off and left the room.

Jude squeezed his hand one last time and placed a kiss on his forehead. "Goodbye my sweet prince."

Okay, now that you're going to kill me lolz...anyways, just go review please!
