Instant Star has quickly become one of my favorite shows; I love it almost as much as I love Degrassi, almost! I am sure many of you agree with me, Tommy and Jude are meant for each other. This is a story for them, it may not have a happy ending, but, it shows the love between them or at least the love that Tommy feels for Jude.
This is based on Diamond Rio's song "One More Day"….I do not own any of the characters.
Flashbacks are done in italics.
Sorry for any misunderstanding, the line that says, "It was like that he finally fell asleep," (in the last chapter) from here on the rest of the story is a dream!
He awoke the next morning to the sun filtering in through the curtains. Cursing himself for not closing them the night before, he rolled to his side to face the wall. Thoughts from the
previous night plagued his brain. The wish! What a crock of bull that was. It must have been just another dream. As much as it killed him, he had to admit to himself that he would
never see Jude again. He quickly got up and went to take a shower. He turned the hot water on full blast. That was the only way he could shower. As weird as it sounded, he
enjoyed the pain that the heat caused on his skin. He stripped of his clothes and walked into the steam. He washed his hair and body. Not ready to get out yet, he stood there letting
the water pour over his head and body. He remembered the first time she had seen the bathroom. It was the last room of the house that they had yet to look at. They made
their way to the door and slowly opened it. When the door came fully open they were blinded by the whiteness of the room. The walls were white; the tiles on the floor
were white. "Wow, Jude, looks like you're going to have a lot of fun keeping this clean." Tommy stated in a serious tone. Jude turned around quickly, giving him a 'you
better think twice about that' look. He laughed. The room was actually very spacious. There was a shower off to the right of the room, two sinks, and then to the left
there was a bath. Only it wasn't a regular sized bath. It was about the size of a Jacuzzi. Jude walked over and stood there. Tommy followed. She turned around and
grinned at him sheepishly. He noticed her cheeks were slightly pink. He inwardly groaned. She was thinking naughty thoughts. He walked up behind her and put his
hands around her waist. She leaned backwards, pressing herself against him. He closed his eyes, taking in the moment. "I really like the house Tommy." Jude said
quietly. "I really like this tub." He whispered into her ear. She shivered. Slowly one of his hands slipped beneath her shirt. It left a scorching path up her ribs to her
chest, where he slipped his hand beneath her bra and gently cupped one of her breasts. She sucked in a quick breath. As his hand kept massaging, he whispered into her
ear. "Just imagine all of the things that we could do in here? Imagine all of the wicked things I could do to you here?" His lips lightly grazed her neck. He knew that,
that was one of her most sensitive spots. She turned around quickly and in an instant there lips met in a fiery kiss. That was the first time they had made love in their
new house. He took a deep breath trying to let the memory be washed off of him. The sound that the water made while going over his ears sounded like a waterfall, it drowned out
any other sound that could have been heard, which is why he didn't here the door open, or see a figure slip into the room. He turned the water off and grabbed a towel off of the
rack. He tied it around his waist and went to one of the sinks. Due to all of the steam in the room, he really couldn't make anything out.
One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do,
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day...
He raised his hand to the mirror wiping it so he could see. When everything started coming into focus he looked back through the mirror. What he saw scared the shit out of him.
He turned around quickly. She was there, standing right behind him. He blinked a few times, thinking he was just imagining things. She smiled and started walking towards him.
"Did, I scare you Tommy? Aaawww, you poor baby." She laughed. He still stood there unbelieving. Just as she was about to wrap her hands around his waist he bolted out of the
room. Jude stood there confused for a moment before following. When she walked into the room he was sitting on the edge of the bed, his head rested in his hands. She stood there
a few minuets and just watched him. Tommy had noticed the moment she walked in the door. Just like he always knew when she did. He sat there thinking to himself, "How is this
possible. This isn't real, she isn't real. The man from the night before flashed through his mind. "Your wish has been granted." He looked up. She was watching him. Was this
actually possible? Could she really be back? He looked at her. He slowly rose up and walked towards her. She looked at him quizzically. He stood in front of her. With a deep
breath, he slowly raised his hand to her face. The instant his hand touched her cheek and she didn't disappear he broke. He pulled her into his arms. Not knowing what else to do
she hugged him back just as fiercely. He was crying. "Tommy, its ok, everything is going to be ok. Sssshhhh baby, its ok." She said over and over. After awhile he finally lifted his
head. Jude raised her hand and wiped away his tears. "Tommy, what's wrong, what happened?" He really didn't know what to tell her. He couldn't tell her the truth, or what he
believed to be the truth, she would think he was crazy. "I just had a bad dream, and it had me really messed up." He replied. She believed him. She untangled herself from him, he
reluctantly let go. She walked over to the bed and sat down. "So what did you want to do today?" She asked him. As she lay back on the bed he noticed her stomach. She was still
pregnant. He smiled. He sat next to her on the bed and lightly rubbed her stomach. His child was still in there. She was still here. He thought about the man again. "This is not
permanent." He kept replaying the scene over and over. He came to the conclusion that none of it had been real. It had all been a dream. Jude had never died, and the man had not
been real.
I am so sorry it took so long for an update...Things have been really hectic around here, I just graduated and things are just now starting to calm down. But it seems like for the next week or two I will be able to do a lot of writing seeing as how I am 18 years old and am just now getting the fricken chicken pox! so since I cant go anywhere since it is contagious...I get to stay at home...in my room...being bored out of my mind.
