Chapter 6: Fight for love

AN: Thanks for all the reviews! And just to remind you all, this is a TommyJude pairing. But I might write another fic with a JudeKwest pairing, if I get enough requests for it.

"Tommy, stop it!" Jude screeched at the top of her lungs.

Tommy didn't listen he seemed to have lost control as well as his mind. He had Kwest pinned to the ground. "You betrayed me!" He punched Kwest again.

"Tom!" Jude screamed again. She pulled on Tommy's shoulders hoping that he would get up, leaving Kwest alone. When that didn't work, she put herself between the two of them and pushed Tommy back. "Tommy, stop! This is not Kwest's fault!"

"Then who's is it?"

"Mine, yours, just not Kwest's!"

"I really care about you Jude! And he knows that but he made a move on you anyways!"

"That kiss was just as much my fault as it was his!"

"No, it wasn't! I saw his hand on the back of your neck, he forced you!"

"He didn't force me to do anything!"

"But I really care about you!"

"You don't know what you care about! Make up your damn mind! You want me or you don't!"

Tommy looked at the floor then back at her. "I- I don't know, Jude. I care about you. We just can't be…"

"Then…" She knelt down next to Kwest. "I'm done."

"Done? What so you mean?"

"No more games, no more waiting for you to come around. I mean it; we're never going to happen and you know it. I'm done."

"Jude, you didn't give me anytime to think."

"You've had plenty of time, Tommy. Besides if you really wanted to be with me, you wouldn't need to think."

"Jude, this isn't fair to me…"

"No, it isn't fair to me. I'm the one that got hurt this time."

He pulled open the door and looked back at her. "I'll see you at home," he snapped before slamming the door.

Kwest sat up.

Jude hugged him gently. "I'm so sorry, I never thought Tommy would be like this. It's not like I haven't been with other guys before."

"Not guys like me, not his friend," Kwest muttered. "Not guys that he confided in, not guys he trusted."

"If he wants me to be happy, then who I'm with shouldn't even matter, even if it is you."

"Don't let Tommy get to you."

"I'll try not to." She placed her had on the side of his face and he recoiled in pain. "I'm going to get you some ice."

"Thanks."

Jude left the studio and stepped into the lobby, walking over to a mini fridge.

"Miss me already?" She heard a voice ask from behind her.

She dug through the fridge looking for some ice. "Just getting some ice for Kwest. Why don't you just go home, Tom?" She grabbed a towel from the counter and wrapped it around some ice.

"That would be admitting that he won," Tommy replied, sounding hurt.

She slammed the fridge door and turned to face him. "I am not a trophy or a prize or your property. Get that through your thick skull!" She tried to walk past him but he grabbed her arm and pulled her into him. "Let me go."

He pressed his lips against hers and let her go. "You fell for Kwest so fast, I thought maybe you could fall for me again."

Her face was stiff. "I got to help Kwest." She walked towards the studio and said, "Just go home." She then entered the studio. "Hey," said to Kwest.

"Tom bugging you?" He asked.

She sat down next to him and held the ice to his face. "You could say that."

"Why'd he kiss you?"

"I tell him that I'm not a prize, I'm not a trophy but he doesn't get it."

"Tommy will never admit that he can't have something."

"I don't know about that…"

"Trust me, I've known Tom since he was Little Tommy Q. and he will never admit that he can't have something or someone."

She kissed him on the forehead. "But he can't have me. Just 'cause he doesn't have any feelings doesn't mean that I'll take all his shit."

He wrapped his hand in her hair and said, "Whoa, calm down. He's got you all worked up. This is how he gets girls. He gets them upset and confused and then he makes his move. He's not a good guy, Jude."

"But it's Tommy, I know him."

"And I know him a lot better than you. He tells me things that he wouldn't tell any girl."

"Right…"

Kwest removed the ice from his face and kissed Jude softly.

"Look, I should go back to Tom's," she whispered.

"You're still staying with him? After all he's done?"

"I don't really have a choice. If I switched, my mom would flip. I just need to stay where I am."

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah. You will." She kissed him on the forehead once again before leaving G Major.

She didn't to Tommy's right away. She wandered around downtown and looked around the music store that Jamie had told her about.

She finally got to Tommy's by 9 but he was stowed away in his room. Jude thought it was best to leave him alone.

AN: I know, still bad writing but I'm trying to do better. Sorry that this chapter's so short, having a little writer's block.
