Jude woke up the next morning with the worst feeling in the world. She had to tell everybody her final decision today and she knew that Tommy and Jamie would take it the worst. Tommy because he hated Shay for obvious reasons. And Jamie, just because Jamie seemed to hate any decision Jude made towards her career.

She was sure her mom wasn't going to be to thrilled. She had liked Shay well enough at first but after all the drama she wanted Jude to stay far away from him. And going on tour with him was going to hurt her mom.

Jude climbed out of bed and through on a shirt and a pair of jeans off her floor. She just wanted to go to Jamie's house and the studio to get it over with. She grabbed socks and her shoes and made her way downstairs. She stopped to check her hair in the mirror in the hallway before heading out the door. She was trying to think of things to say when she knocked on Jamie's door but she still had no clue when he answered.

"Jude, hey," he said slightly confused. They hadn't talked in forever.

"Hey Jamie," Jude said wanting to kick her own ass for not knowing what to add after that.

"Did you come by for a reason or just to stare at me?" Jamie asked after a long silence. "I mean, it's been awhile but I haven't changed that much."

Jude smiled, Jamie did know how to make her relax. "I want to apologize about that. It's not that I've been trying to ignore you, cause I know that's what it seems like. I've just been really busy working on my album and I was a little weirded out about you and Kat but it's all good. Actually, I have news and I want to share it with you."

"News, wow," Jamie said sitting down beside her on his front steps. "Well, I guess I have news for you to but you go first."

"No, you go first," Jude said deciding to delay the inevitable.

"Well, you have no reason to feel weirded out anymore, Kat and I broke up," Jamie said.

"OMG, why?"

"I don't really know, if you as her, she probably can explain it but I'm still trying to figure that one out," Jamie lied looking at the ground. He didn't want to tell her that Kat had finally called him on his crush on Jude. Only, it wasn't a crush for him, it was the real thing. He loved her and he was still too afraid to tell her.

"I'm so sorry Jamie, I know you really liked her," Jude said softly. She couldn't believe that this whole time she'd stayed away from her best friends, they'd been breaking up. She should have been there for both of them. Or one of them. Whoever needed her most. But instead, she'd been to wrapped up in her music. "Maybe now isn't the time to tell you my news."

"No, I could use some good news for once," Jamie said

"I never said it was good news," Jude joked. "Actually, I'm not sure if it's good or bad. Probably a little of both." She stood up so she could pace, she always sounded better when she was pacing. "I'm going to be going on tour this summer."

"Uh..Jude, already knew that," Jamie said confused. "You told me G Major set you up with the a four week club tour around Canada."

"Yeah, they did," Jude said slowly. "But I rejected it after I got a better offer. Well, not better, just different."

"Jude, just tell me," Jamie said when she went silent again.

"I'm going on tour with Shay," Jude said quickly. She watched as Jamie stood up and turned to walk inside. "Jamie, say something at least."

"Like what," Jamie yelled turning around. "That you are an idiot for doing that. Because you are, and I think you know that. I can't believe this, after what he did to you! You are really going to go on a tour with him."

"Jamie, it's not like that. It's a good career move," Jude said feeling her eyes well up. She hated disappointing Jamie. He'd been her best friend since forever and he'd never looked at her like this.

"That's a lie and you know it," Jamie said getting even angrier.

"No it's not," Jude said taking a deep breath. "I knew you wouldn't be happy about my decision but where do you get off calling me a liar? You haven't talked to me in weeks and now you think you know what's in my head. You have no idea."

"Who's fault is that Jude? You even admitted you were weirded out by me and Kat. You stayed away from us."

"The phone line runs both ways."

They both stared at each other for another minute but turned away at the same time. Jude made it all the way down his driveway before she turned back to say one last thing. "I'm leaving in a week, so I guess this is our goodbye." When he didn't even turn or stop she started to cry. She really hated disappointing friends. And it seemed that's all she was good at anymore.

Jude made her way to Tommy's favorite coffee shop, she knew if she got their early enough he'd still be drinking hi morning cup of caffeine. She spotted him in the corner and slowly made her way towards him. After getting yelled at by Jamie, she wasn't ready for a repeat performance but she had to tell him.

"Jude, what are you doing here?" Tommy asked surprised looking around her to see if anybody had arrived with her.

"I was looking for you, relax Tommy," she said confused sitting down across from him. She saw him still looking around and rolled her eyes. "Just because I'm sitting at your table doesn't mean anybody's thinking we're dating or anything. God Tommy, nobody cares."

"That's not it," Tommy said. When Jude just stared out the window he decided to change the subject. "Why don't you tell me why you were looking for me?"

"Well, it's about the tours and my decision," Jude said quietly. She paused before she told him her decision. She knew that he wasn't going to take it very well, but he couldn't act much worse than Jamie had earlier. "I'm going on Shay's tour."

Tommy stared at her and he could feel the anger waiting to be let out but then he remembered what Sadie had said about it being a good career choice. He couldn't stop her from going just because he was a little jealous. If he wasn't willing to act on his feelings towards Jude, he shouldn't stop her from maybe finding somebody else who would act on their feelings. Oh, who was he kidding. "Are you freaking insane? After what he did to you. Do you even remember what he did to you? Remember all the crying, pouting and drama before?"

"Tommy, if I remember correctly, a lot of that was because of you and not because of Shay," Jude pointed out. "And besides, I'm going for my music, not to hook up with Shay. Which you would have known if you had been around the past week. I was going to talk it through with you but I couldn't find you. What have you been doing?"

"He's been hanging with me," Sadie said leaning down to kiss Tommy. She smiled at him before turning to Jude. Sadie couldn't help but feel a little bad about telling Jude, or well showing Jude that they were together, sort of. But Jude had gotten everything she wanted, Sadie only felt it was right that she get one thing she wanted. And that was Tommy. She'd wanted him forever, and now that she had him, Jude wasn't wrecking this. "We're dating."

Jude looked back and forth between them, trying to make sense of it but it didn't. Sadie and Tommy? They had nothing in common. "What?"

"Jude, I was going to tell you," Tommy said slowly but he could tell it was already to late. Jude had taken this as another form of rejection, which it wasn't. It was just him trying anything to stay away from her. And Sadie was just a good distraction.

"No, you know what Tommy, I shouldn't be surprised," Jude said standing up. "And Sadie, you got what you wanted, congratulations. I hope it's everything you hoped for." She turned to walk away but decided she had one last thing to say. "I'm leaving in a week. I've already said this once so it seems only fitting I should repeat it. This is our goodbye. I don't want to see either of you, again. Tommy, it was nice working with you, but I think Kwest and me can handle my sophomore album. Goodbye."

"Jude, wait," Tommy said shocked. He'd never thought she would fire him as her producer. Jude was always smart about her music and they were the best team. How could she do that?

"Relax Tommy," Sadie said sitting down in the seat Jude had just vacated. "Now you'll have more free time to spend with me."

"Sadie, I can't believe you," Tommy said glaring at her. It wasn't all her fault, and he knew that but he had to yell at somebody. "I am not a damn bone for you to dangle in front of your sister, and my best friend." He stood up to leave.

"Tommy, I wasn't doing that, I just thought it was time one of us told her," Sadie lied. She had been shoving him in Jude's face, she just didn't think he'd realize it. "I'm sorry, I'll go talk to her, if you want."

"No, I think you've caused enough drama for the day," Tommy said walking out of the coffee shop. He had one week to make up with Jude and he didn't think an apology was going to be enough this time.
