A/N: Sorry for the long wait! I've been having major writer's block! But here it is! New chapter!
Begin Chapter Ten
I got up to go write down the song, but there was someone sitting on the porch. It was foggy, and looking like it was going to rain, so the figure wasn't clear. I walk up to it, and see that it was Tommy. He was crying and didn't see me coming at first. When he saw me coming, he stood up and wiped away his tears.
"Tommy, you don't have to be strong for me. I'm a big girl now. You can cry. It's ok." And then he broke down. It wasn't for very long, but after knowing him for so long, Thomas Quincy finally cried. And here I thought he was a mindless robot. But I finally understood. He was trying to be strong for me. To protect me. To keep me away from the harsh world of the music industry. And now after all this time. I finally understand why Thomas Quincy wouldn't let me fall. And if I did, why he would always catch me.
Tommy had stopped crying a few minutes ago, and we had been having a staring contest ever since. He leaned forward, and I side-stepped around him. He fell flat on his face. He looked up at me with a hurt-filled expression.
"How can you think, that just because you come back, means I walk to you with open arms?"
"Because you still have the guitar I left you when I left." He got smirking smugly. I was pissed.
"It's a nice guitar. And besides who would give up a nice guitar?" Damn… That was lame.
He just stands there smirking. I push past him, and walk into G-Major. I hear him follow me, and I turn really fast.
"Here." And I shove the guitar into his chest. "You can have it." I do the weird hand swiping thing that Tommy did to Chad during the rehearsal Boyz Attack Reunion thingy. "I'm through with you." And I stalk away.

Later
I'm at home playing my old guitar. I hear a car pull up, and a car door slam. I keep playing. The door bell rings. I get up and walk towards the door. I look through the peep-hole to see an eye right there. I scream. I back away.
"Jude? It's me." It was him. I open the door.
"Tommy?" I ask. He nods. "What are you doing here? Where did you get my address?"
"Phone book, Harrison."
"I'm unlisted."
"Umm… Portia."
"Ok then. Now leave." And I go to slam the door in his face. But yet again, he blocks it.
"Jude… Please listen to me…" He begs. I really want to, but I walk away. I hear him close the front door, and follow me into the kitchen. I went and got myself a glass of water. I heard him whistle.
"What?" I snapped.
"Nice kitchen you have here, nice house actually."
"Would you like a tour?" I ask sarcastically.
"Does it involve the master bedroom?" He asks innocently.
I can't take this. I walk, ok, I run away towards my bedroom.
"Jude, I was just kidding-"
I turn around so he slams into me.
"You're always just kidding, just playing around. Well I'm sick of your games Quincy. Get out." I say forcefully, poking a finger in his chest.
"Jude, I-"
"I said get out!" My voice is getting louder.
"Jude, please-"
"GET OUT!" I scream.
He holds his hands up in surrender, and strolls to the door. I hear it close. And I storm to my room, and get my guitar, and roughly strum the chords out to a song. I feel the words come straight from my soul.
I see your face,
Every time I close my eyes,
I push this feeling to the back of my mind,
By telling my heart lies...
We're just friends,
And nothing more,
Is this good or bad,
But I'm not sure what I'm looking for...
Looking in the mirror,
What do I see,
I just can't imagine,
You standing next to me...
I get my hopes up,
Just to be pushed down,
I'm sorry I was lost,
But I'm glad to be found...
Cuz I was lost up there,
In the great blue sky,
And I was never found,
For I was floating too high...
But then came an angel,
Floating next to me,
He told me to come with him,
That he would set me free...
I told him I was scared to fall,
And he whispered, "I have wings,"
And that I was scared to lose it all,
And he said, "Then stay with me..."
I told him I was scared of someone breaking me,
And he said, "I'll protect you."
And that I was scared of being free,
And he said, "I'll guide you..."
Looking in the mirror,
What do I see,
I just can't imagine,
You standing next to me...
I get my hopes up,
Just to be pushed down,
I'm sorry I was lost,
But I'm glad to be found...
Cuz I was lost up there,
In the great blue sky,
And I was never found,
For I was floating too high...
But then came an angel,
Floating next to me,
He told me to come with him,
That he would set me free...
But then he left me all alone,
And I said, "You were supposed to be there,"
And he left me to be on my own,
And I said, "You shouldn't have left here,"
Cuz I won't let him back in my heart,
Deceived the first time and needing a jumpstart,
Where was he when I lost all fight left within me,
Where was he when I realized that me and him weren't meant to be…
Looking in the mirror,
What do I see,
I just can't imagine,
You standing next to me...
I get my hopes up,
Just to be pushed down,
I'm sorry I was lost,
But I'm glad to be found...
Cuz I was lost up there,
In the great blue sky,
And I was never found,
For I was floating too high...
But then came an angel,
Floating next to me,
He told me to come with him,
That he would set me free...
Set me free,
Bound in these chains,
Leaving me to unravel,
The last of his mind games…
I set the guitar down. I'm breathing heavy from all the raw energy I produced for the song.
Once I calmed down, I went to get my water that I had left in the kitchen. I opened the door, and he fell through the door and knocked me down, with him on top of me.
"Sorry." He said sheepishly. He went to get up, and he was leaning on his arms, looking at me beneath him. We stared into each other's eyes. He leaned down, and I couldn't help it, I kissed him back when his lips met mine.
But through the hazy veil of passion, I knew that this would be the last.
End Chapter 10
