Okay, so sad to say, but this is my last chapter. There's no more after this. It's short, but it kind of settles everything with a little cliffhanger at the end. I really hope you like it.

Chapter 5: A New Beginning
Person: Jude? Where have you been? It feels like I haven't seen you in forever.
Jude: Sorry about that Spied. Listen, I really need to talk to someone. May I come in?
Spied: Sure.
Tommy was driving in his viper trying to figure out where Jude was. He didn't know what he did wrong. Okay, so he kissed her, and she's only 17. That could be the problem. But there was something more. He put the pills in the garbage and hoped Jude wasn't doing anything else stupid. He decided to try to call her. It started to ring but no one was picking up. Tommy decided to leave a message.
Tommy: Hey, Jude, it's Tommy. Listen, I really need to talk to you. Please call me back as soon as you get this. Bye.
He hung up the phone hoping Jude would get the message…soon.
Meanwhile, Jude and Spied were talking in Spiederman's living room. Jude told him everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything. She told him about the cheating, the pills, and even the kiss, both of them. It felt so good to get it out but Spiederman was shocked and didn't even know what to say. Jude was getting scared.
Jude: Please say something.
Spied: What is there to say?
He didn't sound mad. He sounded concerned and confused.
Jude: Listen, I know that I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I really need you to try.
Spied: You don't need to say your sorry.
Jude: But…
Spied: No buts Jude. I get it, I mean, at least a little. Just promise, you won't do anything stupid like that ever again.
Jude: I promise. I just don't know what to do. I have all of these mixed up emotions about everything.
Spied: What do you feel for Tommy? Tell me the truth.
Jude: I don't know. I don't want to hurt you Spiederman, because I want to be with you. I love you.
Jude couldn't believe what she just said. Did she really love Spiederman? Now, she was really mixed up. She felt like she was cheating on Tommy and Spied. 'God, I'm so messed up. Did I really mean that? I think I did.' Jude reflected as Spiederman was still trying to get it through his head.
Spied: Um, did you mean that?
Jude: Uh, I don't know. I think I did.
Spied: You have to be sure please.
Jude: Yea, I did. I really did.
Spied: Good, because I love you too.
Jude leaned in and kissed him. She pulled away when she felt her phone vibrate. She checked it and it said that she had a new voicemail. Jude decided to check it later. Right now, all she wanted was to be with Spied. She put it back in her pocket and laid on Spiederman's lap and he caressed her hair.
The next morning Jude felt like that everything was under control again. She was finally going back to the studio. She heard someone knocking at the door as she was walking down the steps. She dragged herself to it and it was Tommy standing there looking as guilty as ever.
Jude: Tommy.
Tommy: May I please come in? We need to talk.
Jude: Yes we do.
Jude let Tommy in and he sat on the sofa. She followed him and sat next to him.
Tommy: Listen, about yesterday…
Jude: I know Tommy. I know that you love me. I do, and I believe you. I won't runaway from you this time.
Tommy: Really?
Jude: Really.
Tommy was about to lean in to kiss her but she pulled away.
Tommy: What's wrong now?
Jude: Tommy, I'm sorry, but I can't do this.
Tommy: Do what?
Jude: This, us.
Tommy: Jude, I love you, I want to be with you.
Jude: I know, I love you too, but I love Spied too.
Tommy: You love Spiederman?
Jude: Listen, no matter how much it hurts, I have to let you go. We're never going to happen, and I'm ready to accept that. I think that's the thing that we've both be running away from., the truth that we can't be together.
Tommy: Yea, I guess that makes sense.
Jude: (teary) I don't mean to hurt you. Believe me, that's the last thing I want to do. But we have to face the facts. I'm with Vincent and I love him.
Tommy nodded his head in agreement. This time he didn't try to hide his hurt. He looked at Jude and hugged her. She was holding tears in her eyes that were slowly leaving the brink of her eyelids. Tommy kissed her on the cheek knowing that he was losing her for good. But at least, she was going to be happy, and that she was doing what she knew was best. He got up to the door and Jude traveled behind him. They said bye to each other, but right before Jude was going to close the door, he turned back around.
Tommy: Jude, I just need to do one more thing.
He grabbed her and kissed her. Then pulled away slowly.
Tommy: I love you, and that will never change no matter what. I just wanted you to know that. I will always, always, love Jude.
Tommy went to his car and Jude closed the door. She slid down.
Jude: Ditto.
Jude smiled and couldn't wait to get to the studio that day. Finally, things were making sense again, and she knew things were going to be okay. There was nothing else to runaway from. She stood up hardly could hold her excitement.
Around 3 Jude was finally finished recording. Spiederman came to pick her up. She went to him and kissed him quickly on the lips. Tommy smiled at her knowing she was finally happy.
Spied: Ready to go?
Jude: Yea, lets go.
Jude looked at Tommy noticing him smiling, and she smiled back. They both nodding at each other not knowing exactly for what, but they knew it meant something. She walked out of G-Major with Spiederman. Kwest came up to Tommy knowing what had happen between them (Tommy told him).
Kwest: So that's it, huh? It's the end?
Tommy: I'm not so sure about that.
Tommy smiled as he saw Jude jump in Spied's car and drive off.
Tommy: Actually, I think it's just a new beginning.
So that's it. I want to make a sequel but it's up to you. Do you want a sequel? Well, I hope you liked the story. I loved writing for all of you. It was great. Please review and thank you for reading.
