Chapter 9 - Cutter

The two settled on a nice little food place that had outside and inside tables. They chose to sit outside, near the road. They sat down and Tommy picked up his menu.

"Get whatever you want." He said, pointing towards her menu. She smiled and looked it over, trying to find the cheapest thing on the list.

The waitress finally came over and as soon as she spotted Tommy and Jude sitting together, she had a fit.

"Oh my god!" She squealed, drawing Tommy and Jude's attention.

"Little Tommy Q and Jude harrison? together at last?" She continued.

Jude gave Tommy an apologetic look and before either of the two could speak up, the waitress continued.

"You guys are so cute together!"

Jude's eyes fell on the table. She was trying her best to hide her smile and her pink cheeks from Tommy. He watched her and couldn't help but smile himself. The waitress stood there watching for a moment, happily, and then remembered her job.

"Well anyway, what can I get you guys to drink?" She asked.

Tommy looked over at Jude once again.

"Two iced teas?" He asked and Jude nodded in reassurance.

The waitress nodded, scribbling the order down and then walked away.

Tommy started to laugh.

"Well..that was.." He started.

"Embarrassing?" She offered. He smiled.

"Hardly."

Jude smiled at his sweetness and then quickly changed the subject.

"So, got a name for your kid yet?" She asked.

Tommy winced at the words 'his' and 'kid'...the two just didn't fit in the same sentence, at least not yet anyway. He almost said outloud that there was no kid yet but he decided it would be better if he didn't.

"Nope." He said, lightly. Jude nodded and then smirked.

"I overheard a few girls at the babyshower giving Sadie baby name advice," She started. He raised an eyebrow, wondering where she was going with this.

"One of them mentioned a name that I think Sadie liked alot..." She continued. Tommy pushed his face forward a bit, gesturing for her to continue.

"Little Tommy Q Jr." She said, and then began laughing hysterically as his facial expressions changed. Tommy placed his face in his hands and rubbed his forehead with his index fingers. Jude watched and continued to laugh.

"Not gonna' happen." He said, shaking his head. She finally calmed down and started breathing normal again.

"Tell Sadie that," Jude said, smiling.

"Oh I will." He stated, bringing his hands back to the table.

The waitress finally came back with their drinks and then took their food order.

Meanwhile -

"Sadie! what was that about?" Victoria walked after Sadie who was still staring down the road, sadly. Sadie looked up, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Shes gone.."

Victoria looked out beyond their yard and realization washed over her.

"What happen?" She asked, pulling Sadie close to her.

"Tiffany called Jude a cutter..how she knew,I have no idea," She spoke, sadly.

Victoria brushed Sadie's arm with her fingers, lightly. The two stood there for a moment trying to figure out what to do about this but neither had any idea. After a few minutes passed Victoria pulled Sadie towards the door.

"We can't leave everyone in there alone so..get in there and have your party, I'll go look for Jude." The two walked inside and Sadie, sadly, joined the girls again. Victoria walked into the kitchen and grabbed her car keys quickly before walking back out and starting her search for Jude.

Meanwhile-

Jude and Tommy talked about everything there was possible to talk about. How when they met they were destined to hate each other..how close they had become. How Shay was an idiot. How rediculous Tommy looked in a bandana. Anything and everything.

Jude giggled and Tommy took a sip of his second glasss of iced tea.

"We're never going to be able to do this anymore.." Jude said, pulling at the seems of the cheap table cloth that covered their table.

"What are you talking about?" He asked, confused.

She stopped messing with the table cloth and sighed.

"This Tommy. We'll never be able to hang out anymore..we'll never be us again." It pained her to say the last few words but it was the truth. Someone had to bring reality back into the situation.

Tommy watched her intently. Her hair danced in the wind and her eyes glittered as the sunlight hit them at the perfect angle. He had never seen something..someone as beautiful. Everything he had ever wanted..everything he had ever needed flashed before his eyes. There were only a few things he had wanted or needed for that matter. Music, His close friends, and Jude. Those were his top priorites in life. If everything else was taken away and he was left with the three, he'd be content.

"Jude.." He started, watching her eyes dim. She thought he was going to lecture her or say she was stupid for even saying that.

"There will always be us," He promised, taking her hands in his own. Looking down at his hands, she started to shake her head, slightly.

"No Tommy.." She pulled her hands from his.

"Theres you and Sadie..and then theres us." She said, bitterly.

Tommy attempted to say something but she hushed him.

"Don't worry about it." She said, forcing a smile.

He stared at her for only a moment before the waitress came back over and took their plates and then left them alone again.

Tommy, once again, couldn't take his eyes off of her. He watched the sadness glisten in her crystal blue orbs and it was breaking his heart. He never meant for any of this to happen. Even if it was selfish to think, he would take back every minute he had with Sadie just so he could give all of his time, his heart to Jude. She was now 18, had been for a few months. He could finally have her and then again he couldn't. This was definitely not the way he had planned his future.

Jude was staring at him as well, processing everything that had occured that day.

Tommy grabbed Jude's hands again but this time she didn't pull them away. She looked down at their hands and then back up at him, not knowing what he was doing. Before she knew it his lips were pressed against hers and all of her emotions started to pour. She wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss, tears flowing swiftly down her cheeks.

"Jude!" Victoria called from the street, parking her car. Neither Tommy or Jude heard her mother and continued to show their built up feelings for eachother.
