Chapter 15: Shoot for the sky

"I guess Jude with any Boyz Attack member is good publicity," EJ said, handing Jude and Tommy a tabloid.

The two looked over it and Tommy read aloud. "Front cover. 'Boyz Attack Dater.' Aren't you special?" He added to Jude.

"Just read," she replied.

" Okay. 'It seems like just yesterday that former Boyz Attack member, Chaz Blackwell, and first Instant Star winner, Jude Harrison, had started dating. Yesterday, it was reported by an anonymous source (AN: It was EJ, like Chaz told her to) that Blackwell and Harrison have separated. We weren't informed why. It was also reported that Tommy Quincy, another former Boyz Attack member, and Harrison have started dating. Is this Jude's match? We may know soon.' Wow."

"Oh my god, my match? What kind of crack are they smoking?"

"We could be each others' matches."

"Well, I mean, I'm just not looking for a life-time partner right now, since I'm only 16."

"Yeah, I totally get it." They both leaned back in their chairs and Tommy draped an arm around her shoulders.

"Do you think we'll be together forever?" Jude asked him.

"After all we've been put through, I sure hope so."

Jude gave out a laugh. "I do too." She rested her head on his shoulder.

He turned to her and gave her a kiss. "I'm so glad we don't have to hide this anymore."

She smiled up at him. "I am too. We never could be sitting here like this if no one knew."

"It's so nice; no more secrets, no more hiding. It's perfect."

"Exactly my point."

He kissed her forehead when Georgia came into the room. "Hey, Georgia," Tommy said.

"Hi, guys, um, Chaz is in the lobby, he wants to talk to you both," she replied.

"Both of us?" Jude asked.

"Yeah, the both of you." She turned around and went back into the lobby.

They stood up and walked over to Chaz.

"Hey, Chaz, what'd you want to talk to us about?" Jude said to him.

Chaz stared down at the floor. "It's nothing much… Just this." He opened a side of his jacket to reveal a gun tucked into his pocket.

She took a step back. "A-a gun? Chaz what are you doing?"

Tommy pushed her behind him. "What's going on Chaz?"

Chaz fingered the gun. "I love Jude and you took her from me."

She tried to step forward. "Chaz, with all-do respect, I chose him over you."

Tommy pushed her behind him a second time. "Jude, stop." He looked back at Chaz. "Take it easy, Chaz, we can all talk about this, calmly."

Chaz pulled the gun from his pocket and held it in front of him, aimed at Tommy. "No we can't." Everyone in the lobby started screaming and ran off.

Jude stepped out in front of Tommy. "Please, Chaz, just calm down."

"Jude!" Tommy scoffed, pushing her behind him again, facing her this time. "Don't, I can handle this."

"Oh c'mon, I can handle myself."

"This is so cute…" Chaz muttered. "They're fighting over who doesn't get shot, how sweet." He cocked the gun.

Tommy turned to face Chaz. "Don't do this Chaz, we can figure this out."

"I already have, Tom, this is the answer." His hand started shaking. "You made the wrong choice, Jude."

She peered out from behind Tommy.

"We could've been great together, but you wanted him… Now you must pay."

And with that, there was a loud gunshot that filled the lobby of G Major.

AN: Oh no! What happened? Only I know! Actually… I haven't decided what happened. I'm thinking on it but if you have suggestions, let me know. Also, I know it may seem like I ripped this off from the Degrassi episode, "Time Stands Still" but I didn't mean to. Anyways, I will greatly appreciate any and all reviews. Please be brutally honest.
