A/N: Hey all! Sorry for the long delay in posting, but I was originally trying to finish my other fic and I've been busy with other stuff as well. I have officially 4 more chapters to write to this fic…a total of 21 by the time I'm done. I hope you guys are liking and I'm trying to finish this so I can update on a consistent schedule. I'm shooting to update once again probably Friday or Saturday depending on what my life has going on those days. I hope you all enjoy and again, I apologize for the lack of updates. Be on the lookout this weekend as well for my new fic, Cure My Tragedy, if you're interested.

Chapter 14

June 11, 2008

After the news of Tommy getting arrested the previous evening, Tommy's arrest was all over the news, tabloids, newspapers, and Tommy swore he saw a bulletin board earlier as well. EJ and the PR department were working overtime to calm the media frenzy but their efforts seemed to be in vain.

The day was stressful and the studio wasn't making things easier. Georgia wanted Jude's album done before the end of summer and current events were making this demand tough to accommodate. Tommy and Jude were actually getting a song that was half way decent together when they were interrupted, once again, by the Toronto PD. They officers were Berk and Jones and they were requestioning anyone who had anything to do with Mark Snow (besides Tommy). They were out of prime suspects after the previous days events, for which Tommy was thankful.

Jude followed the officers into the board room and relayed her story once again to them while Tommy and Kwest worked on some back tracks for the new song.

"Can I ask what's up with Jude?" Kwest asked.

"What do you mean?" Tommy asked with a heavy sigh. "She's stressed out over this whole murder investigation and planning the wedding."

"That's not all that seems to be bothering her. I don't know, it doesn't seem like its all stress."

"What are you implying Kwest?" Tommy asked, staring at his friend in suspicion.

"Nothing, it just…it seems Jude's been…withdrawn. I thought you might know why, that's all." Kwest said, trying to get back on Tommy's good side. Tommy sighed heavily and glanced towards the door.

"Come on."

"Where?" Tommy pointed into the recording booth. Kwest looked confused.

"I don't want anyone else to hear this." Tommy said, pulling Kwest into the sound booth and shutting the door tight behind him. "The other night…Jude had a nightmare."

"OK…how's that so earth shattering?"

"She dreamt she killed Mark."

"Oh,"

"Yeah."

"And you think it wasn't just a dream?"

"I don't know what to think."

"I don't think Jude could kill anyone."

"I know what you mean man…but…" Tommy sighed and looked defeated. "I don't want to think Jude did this, but Kwest, think about it. What Mark did to her…that messed her up. If he tried to rape her again…and Jude fought back…" Tommy shook his head. Kwest sighed.

"What are you going to do?" Kwest asked. Tommy hung his head.

"Nothing…yet. I mean, it's just a dream, we don't have any physical evidence that Jude could have done this. But…I don't know…I just…I got this feeling that this isn't over." Tommy said, sounding defeated. Kwest put a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"You guys have always had things in your way…you're hole relationship is against the odds."

"I know that…but what if we're not strong enough to make it through this?" Tommy asked. "You saw the strain of me being the number one suspect has done…what if attention turns to Jude? What if this gets a heck of a lot worst than it has been? It seems lately we fight more than we talk."

"You'll get through it." Kwest said, confidently.

"How do you know that?"

"Because, look at your track record man. The age difference alone would have turned off most guys and if not that, then the whole working relationship. You've gotten through an almost rape, memory loss, you dating her sister, and a proposal. I think you can make it through one more obstacle to the big day." Kwest said. Tommy sighed.

"I hope your right man." Tommy said, and was about to say more when Jude walked back into the main studio. Tommy glanced at Kwest and went to go talk to Jude. Kwest stayed where he was standing, watching the couple together.

They were perfect together and he knew they'd make it…as long as they were together. Tommy's doubts played in his mind. It seemed if the cops were turning up nothing, it seemed as if some street talk was needed to get some leads. With that in mind, Kwest exited the sound booth into the lobby of G Major, leaving the couple to their talk.
