Summary: Takes place after the season finale. Tommy is still in Montana and Jude is on her way up in the music world. Will they find each other again?

Disclaimer: I do not own anything pertaining to Instant Star except for this story.

Chapter one:

We see Tommy in a black suite holding the little girl from the finale, the frame gets wider and we see other people around crying and I minister saying: "Yay though I walk through the valley of death I shall fear no evil for though art with me." Tommy begins to remember the day he arrived in Montana.

The Nanny/Nurse: You must be Tom, she is waiting for you in her room. Third door on the left.

Tommy: Thank you

She looked at the young girl

The Nanny/Nurse: come along melody

Tommy began walking down the hallway. Tears in his eyes. As he walks into the room a lady is laying in a bed. She has brown hair and bright blue eyes. She is in her mid to late twenties.

Lady: Hi Tom

Tommy: Why didn't you call me sooner? I could have helped.

Lady: What's wrong Tom am I dying or something?

She had a saddened smile on her face

Tommy: That is not funny, you shouldn't say stuff like that especially when…

Lady: When what? When I am dying? I have already gone through the stages Tom, I have accepted that I can do no more.

Tommy: I know Izzy

Izzy: Wow you always were the only one who didn't call me Isabella., but I loved you more for it.

Tommy: So your lawyer sure is a nice guy (sarcasim)

Izzy: Sorry about Frank, I told him I needed you in a hurry. He told me he found you at a concert for a girl named Jude. Is she your new singer?

Tommy: (Sad expression on his face because he thought of Jude) Yea, Jude Harrison, I had been producing her for two years.

Izzy: Frank told me on your way to the airport that you stopped to talk to her in a restaurant and that she was crying and ran after you.

Tommy: it was nothing. I told her I had to leave and I did not know if I was coming back.

Izzy: I know that look, so spill!

Tommy: There is nothing to tell. She is a client and a good friend. I asked her to dinner to celebrate her album release and had to cancel last minute obviously.

Izzy: So you were not dating?

Tommy: No, I dated her sister Sadie but not her. She is 17.

Izzy: But that does not mean you did not want to date her Tom.

Tommy: I do not want to talk about this anymore.

He looked out her window

Izzy: I have been cooped up in this bed for almost two months. So either you can spill or I may have to beat you up like I did when we were kids.

Tommy: Yea, but mom always made you apologize.

He smirked

Izzy: My little brother the comedian/producer/boyzattacker/semi singer.

She begins to laugh, but you see she is in pain by it

Tommy: Now who's the comedian of the family.

Izzy: Did you meet Melody?

Tommy: only for a second, how old is she? When did…

Izzy: She is three going on twenty and it's a long story, but to sum it up her dads not in the picture.

Tommy: I got it.

Izzy: Now tell me about Jude, that is her name right?

Tommy: yea

He sat on his sisters bed and began to tell her about his whirlwind relationship with Jude.

Izzy: Tom, how could you hurt that poor girl like that? I mean I really thought your boyz attack days were over.

Tommy: It's not like that I really do care for her a lot , but she is seventeen.

Izzy: Seems to me it didn't bother you when you kissed her again in D's office or when you asked her out on a date. Why didn't you tell her the truth?

Tommy: I can't and I couldn't. She is better off forgetting about me.

Izzy: What about you? Can you forget about her?

Tommy: Not in a million years.

Tears begin to fall from there eyes and they hug and stay like that until Melody comes in with the nanny running after her.

Nanny/Nurse: I tried to stop her, but you know how she is.

Izzy: It's okay Martha.

Melody climbs into bed with Izzy.

Izzy: Honey this is your uncle Tommy. I want you to say Hi.

Melody ducks her head into her moms chest.

Tommy: It's okay I'm new to her.

Izzy: Well she is the main reason I wanted you to come her so soon.

Toomy: Why?

Izzy: Because I want you to take care of her and you guys need to get to know each other first.

Tommy's face turns white in disbelief as he thinks to himself, " I could never take care of a child"

Tommy: I can't Izzy, please I won't do her any justice.

Izzy: it's you or no one.

We see the next month in flashes of Tommy and Izzy talking and of Melody and Tommy playing with each other and him learning to dress her and do her hair and things like that. Also we see him listening to the pleading phone calls on his phone Jude. Then it stops with tommy by Izzies side again about a month after arriving in Montana.

Izzy: Promise me you'll take care of her

She is crying and so is he

Tommy: I promise

We see her chest rise and fall for he last time as she closes her eyes.

Now we see them at the cemetery again. We see what looks like his mom, but no Dad. He and Melody get into a limo with Frank.

Frank: I am sorry to do tis so soon but I am going out of town for a wilhe and I figured this would be the easiest way.

Tommy: thanks it's fine. Where do I sign?

Frank: Here. Isabella left a trust fund for melody and the house to your mom and the rest to you.

Tommy: thanks

Tommy looks at the paper and remembers a promise he made to his sister.

Izzy: Promise me that you will never let anything stand in the way of what you love. Trust me life is too short to let everything hold you back. Make your own peramiters in life okay?

Tommy: I promise.

Back in the limo tommy tells the driver he's ready as the limo begins to move.

Back in Toronto a month ago we see Jude walking with Sadie yelling. "I'm number one."

Sadie: wow nice to know things aren't going to your head and all.

Jude: Hey, I have earned this enthusiamsm.

Someone from behind them: Yes you have

Kwest was standing behind them smiling.

Jude: Have you talked to him?

Kwest with a sad look: Na, he's not returning anyones calls not even D's

Sadie looks at how sad jude is getting and grabs her by the arm.

Sadie: I think it's time to shop, are you with us kwest?

She winks at him and nudges him to come along.

Kwest: yea, Patsy is not coming in to the studio today so I'm free.

Sadie: Great! so mall here we come.

Most of the month went by in a flash, she was either hanging out with Kwest, Sadie, Jamie and Patsy. or writting and performing. She preferred the second one due to the fact she felt out of place hanging with the couples even though sadie and Kwest had yet to admit they were " Together". Jude new the looks in their eyes she remembered that it was the way she looked at Tommy. She was on her way to the studio when a song came on the radio and it she couldn't help but turn it up and listen to the lyrics. It was "Older Than My Years", by Cherie.

"Older Than My Years"

You say that you are leaving
They say that I'm too young for you
You say it's for the better
And that one day soon, I will understand
I believe that I know you like no other lover,
I believe...

My love is older than my years
It's wiser than your fears
It's telling you to stay and not to go
Love is wisdom from the heart
It tells us who we are
So look beyond my years
I'm older than my tears

You say that life's a journey
They say I'm only at the start
You say it's a beginning
But it feels like the end
If we're to be apart
I believe that I know you like no other lover
Do you believe?

My love is older than my years
It's wiser than your fears
It's telling you to stay and not to go
Love is wisdom from the heart
It tells us who we are
So look beyond my years
I'm older than my tears

Don't let my innocence deceive you
'Cause there's more to me than meets the eye
Don't let this feeling turn to sorrow
There's no good in goodbye
I believe that I know you like no other lover
Can you believe?

My love is older than my years
It's wiser than your fears
It's telling you to stay and not to go
Love is wisdom from the heart
It tells us who we are
So look beyond my years
I'm older than my tears

She though of Tommy and wondered if he was tinking of her.

Back in Montana Tommy and Melody had just arrived back at the house when he heard the DJ on the radio say Judes name. He was talking about her single being on the top of the charts for two weeks only second to another of her songs. No. 1 was "There's Us". He then remembered the first time he listened to that song with Izzy.

Izzy: Tom! come here really quick

Tommy: What?

Izzy: Is this the girl you have been talking about singing?

Tommy could tell right off the bat that it was jude. Her voice was the one thing he would always know.

Tommy: Yep that Harrison alright.

Izzy: This song is deffinately about you. I mean, Wow she feels so much for you and she's only 17.

Tommy: She'll be 18 in a little while

Izzy: Good, then you can finally tell her how important she is to you.

Tommy: I can't see her again, she'll never forgive me.

Izzy: Trust me, i know she will

Tommy thought of how Izzy was always encouraging him to keep on trying with jude and smiled.

He guys, this is my first story and i would love to know what you think. I am nervous that it isn't very good, but i will leave that decision to you all. Please review.

Thanks

Jessica
