Chapter 13- You're doing WHAT?

"WHAT!" Jude began gathering her things. Tommy helped her.

"Mom's gonna freak!"

"I can drive you there"
"With your arm like that?"
"Well yea, It's healing up now"
"Uh..ok ok" Jude grabbed her bags and ran for the door.

Tommy walked up behind her and opened the door, watching as she frantically ran for the viper.

"Jude slow down!"

"I need to be home, like, NOW"

"Why!"
"Do you NOT remember that my mom isn't so fond of me hanging out with you outside of the studio?"
"Oh, yea" Tommy sped up and sat in the drivers side of the viper.

Jude didn't say anything the whole way home, she kept fiddling with her fingers as if they were having a war with eachother. Tommy placed his right hand on top of hers to stop her from being so nervous. She looked over at him, then at his hand. He pulled his hand away to keep both of his hands on the wheel. Finally, they drove up to the Harrison's home.

"Thanks, Tommy. Drive safe." Jude said, and opened her car door.

"Wait" Tommy pulled her by the arm and kissed her passionately. She smiled stepped out of the car.

"My boyfriend..."She whispered to herself. This could take some adjusting to.

Tommy waited for Jude to get inside and close the front door.

as Jude walked inside, she saw a note on the counter.

Jude,

Sadie and I went grocery shopping, and then Sadie wanted to stop at the library. After that we're going to hang out somewhere that Sadie picked out, she said I deserved it. Nice, isn't she? Well, won't be home till about 5:30, theres some pizza in the fridge.
Love, Mom.

Jude smiled at this and ran outside. Luckily, tommy was only at the street corner.

"TOMMY!" She cried. He stopped and backed up.

"yea?"
"Wanna hang out? Mom's not home, Neither is Sadie"
"Uh.."
"They left a note"
"I have to get home...that nurse is going to be there soon"
"Oh, right."
"Sorry"
"Call me later"
"will do"
Jude walked back inside. The answering machine was beeping, and said there were 2 messeges. She pushed "play". "This messege is for a Ms. Harrison, you're daughter and Tom Quincy were escorted by the police department to Quincy's home, after an arrest on the man who shot Quincy. Nobody was hurt in this situation. If you have any questions, please contact us at..." Jude instantly pushed 'delete' The next messege began to play. "Hey Jude, it's..Jimmy." Jude's eyes glared at the answering machine. "I'm calling from jail... You probably have found out first hand by now that I'm not the one who shot your producer. They're releasing me tomorrow so if you just wanna hang out or something...we can talk about it. Once again, very VERY sorry."
Jude pressed delete and walked into the kitchen. She pulled out the pizza at just ate it cold.

So now Tommy's my boyfriend...Jimmy is innocent, and wants to hang out with me...and I don't exactly WANT to, but should I anyway? wow, Tommy's my boyfriend Jude thought to herself. It still sounded weird to her.

Fighting the urge to call Tommy yet again, she ran upstairs and let herself fall asleep. This time, there were no nightmares.

Victoria and Sadie returned home, and ran upstairs to Jude's bedroom. Victoria shook Jude awake.

"Mom...what's all..." Jude was silenced when Victoria grabbed Jude's chin and began turned her face all over, making sure there were no bruises or cuts."mom I'm fine"
"We were at the library." Sadie said "And the news was on. There you were, with Tommy...holding hands. The police were questioning you, saying something about an abduction and attempted murder?"
"Yeah, but we're all ok" Jude said

"Why didnt you even CALL me?" Victoria asked. "I thought you had more sense!"
"I was with Tommy" Jude said

"Apparently you're a little close to Tommy too" Victoria pointed out. "Holding hands? That's not exactly producer/artist relationship there"
"You know what mom, you're right" Jude found herself in a sitting position. "He's my..boyfriend"
"What! I beg to differ!" Victoria said. "You are still my daughter, and you're not going to give it up for that sick producer"
"Mom.."Sadie said, trying to calm her down.

"Give it up! Mom I thought you had more trust in me! And Tommy's not a sick person, He cares about me" Jude defended herself. Victoria looked over at Sadie.

"It's true mom..." Sadie said. Victoria turned back to Jude.

"You will NOT be with him while you are in this household. As long as you live under MY roof, it's MY rules."
"FINE!" Jude got up and ran outside the house. She walked down the road for what seemed like an eternity. Eventually she came up to Tommy's house. She knocked on the door.

"Hey, you walked all the way here?" He opened the door and moved closer to greet her with a kiss, but she moved away. "What's wrong?" He noticed she was crying.

"I uh... mom knows about us...she won't allow it"
"Well I had figured that...so you're just going to..end it now?" Tommy said, scared that she was going to break up with him. Jude stood there, staring at her feet, she eventually walked past him into his apartment. She plopped herself on the couch and held her head in her hands. Tommy stood up next to her.

"Jude..?"
"if you want to be with me, I'll have to move in"
"What? As if your mom will allow that"
"she SAID as long as I live under HER roof, its HER rules. She didn't say anything about me living anywhere else"

"I donno Jude.."
"Do you not want to be with me?" Jude looked up at him.

"of course I do.."
"Then this is the only way"

Tommy sat there considering this. Jude living in his apartment with him. Alone. There was only one work Tommy could think of to describe that, and that word was "Crazy"

"Jude are you sure? I mean, I can wait...till your mom trusts me"
"That will be NEVER" Jude said

"Well Jude they won't accept us if you live here either"
"Well then, at least i still have you"
"You're being crazy, Jude. I'm not worth risking your family. Stay with your mom and we'll talk in a little bit"
"Tommy! Why are you doing this? Mom will NEVER like you! If she loves me, she'll accept me for whatever I do. And besides, I still have Sadie. She's actually on my side for once"

"You really want to be with me?"
"of course"
"And you really want to move out of your house"
"Yes, Tommy, I do."

"Well.."
"Well...?"
"Welcome home, I guess"
Jude smiled and embraced Tommy. "Thank you" She whispered in his ear. He kissed her cheek and let go of her and kissed her lips. "I'm gonna go start packing"
"Today?"
"Yes today! The sooner the better!"
Tommy drove Jude home, and watched as she ran up the steps to her house and run inside. He decided to wait outside a little while for her to pack.

Jude walked inside and up the stairs. She opened the broom closet door and pulled out a bunch of boxes that they had kept from microwaves, etc. Jude also found some boxes from her birthdays in her own closet. She began with her clothes first. She tucked them in all the luggage cases she had. Thank goodness most of them fit. She would just have to come back for the rest later. She put all of her figurines in newspaper, and stuffed them in a box as well. She tucked away all the picture frames she had on her shelves, and put them in a box with her photo albums. The photo album she made sure was kept safe was the one that had a picture of her and Tommy on the front. It was all the pictures from the studio.

"Jude...what are you doing?and why is Tommy sitting in your driveway reading a magazine?" Jamie asked, he had come in her room uninvited.

"I'm moving out, Jamie!" Jude said

"Why?"
"Tommy..asked me to be his girlfriend"
"So?" Jamie was taken aback and hurt
"So, mom doesn't want me to be with him, so I'm moving in with him"
"Isn't that the opposite of not being with him?"
"Why should I listen to her? She doesn't know him. I want to be happy"
"Jude...think about this"
"I have, Jamie"

"I won't be your nextdoor neighbor anymore" Jamie pointed out. Jude hadn't even considered this. She'd been Jamie's nextdoor neighbor for as long as she could remember. She stopped packing and sat on the foot of her bed. Jamie sat next to her.

"You're leaving..to be with him.."
"Jamie..."
"Fine. I see you pick your boyfriend over your friends and family"
"It's not like I'll be gone forever! I'll just be a few miles away..."
"Whatever. See you around" Jamie said. He got up and walked out the bedroom door and down the stairs to his own house. Jude stayed at the foot of her bed, cupping her face in her hands. After a few moments, Jude finally stood back up and resumed packing. She was going to move out and be with Tommy no matter what. Jude heard knocking at her door. "Oh for god's sake" She said to herself. "Come in" It was Sadie.

"Sis..you're leaving?"
"Yeah"
"I'm happy for you...but I'm also sad. I'll miss you"
"Why is everybody acting like I'm moving to freaking Japan!"

"Because...All my life, you've been right down the hall. Now...you're right down the city" Sadie laughed a little. "But I'm glad...that you've found what will really make you happy."
"I'm sorry Sadie...I know how things were between you two"
"Hey, don't worry about it. It was all about you"
"That makes me feel better" Jude said sarcastically.

"Just, know that I'm here...whenever"
"I know, Sadie"
Sadie gave her sister a hug and allowed her to keep packing. Finally, Jude was satisfied with how much she had. She had all the necessities, she could come back for the rest some other day. She took her luggage bags down first. She stood at the doorway and saw her mother at the table. She put down her luggage and walked over to her mom, sitting down opposite her at the table.

"You're still a baby" Her mom said without looking at Jude.

"Mom...I'm not a baby. And I can't believe that you would do this to me, but it's okay"

"I don't want you with him...but if you choose him then...go be with him, away from here"
"And...you'll never accept us?"
"Maybe when you're older"
"Thanks, mom"
"And just know, I still love you. No matter what you do. I don't like your choices, but I wont keep you out of my life. That will be the biggest mistake I'll ever make"
"I know mom, I love you too. But Tommy really does care about me"
"I'll believe it when I see it" Jude stood up, and walked over to victoria. Victoria stood up as well, and wrapped her arms around her baby girl. Victoria began crying on her shoulder, and Jude's eyes were sparkling with unshed tears.

"I should go now"
Victoria gave a kiss on her daughters cheek, and helped her bring boxes out to the viper. "You'll have to come back for the rest" Victoria said to Jude.

"Yea...I know" Jude said.

"Take care of my baby" Victoria said to Tommy. Tommy nodded

"I will Ms. Harrison."
"And don't hurt her. I don't want to see her like Sadie was over you. You seem to be liked in this family."
"Yeah..."

"Bye, Jude." Victoria walked to the door, sadie followed.

"Bye.."Jude whispered. She turned and stepped inside the viper. Tommy placed his hand on Jude's knee in reassurance. Jude smiled and shrugged her shoulders, trying to shake away her nerves.

"Ready?"
"Yep..." Jude waved goodbye to her mother and Sadie, and then to Jamie who was standing outside. Jude placed her head on the back of the car seat and sighed out of relief that everything turned out okay. She was with Tommy, and she truly couldn't be any happier than she was right now.
