Chapter Eleven: Head Over Heels

Jude stopped everything she was doing and looked at Tommy. Whenever someone told her that they needed to talk it always turned out bad. She took in his tired look and mentally shivered. 'This can't be good' she thought.

"About what, Tom?" she whispered. She couldn't bring herself to talk any louder. Tommy sighed, walked to her bed and sat down. He grabbed Jude's guitar that was beside him and played some chords. Jude looked over at him and sighed. He was nervous and that in turn was making Jude very nervous. She furrowed her brows when it sounded like he was playing a song. It sounded vaguely familiar to her so she tried to place it. Tommy saw her inquisitive look and smiled.

"You heard me playing it that night on the bus." He said. She nodded her head as she remembered that night. She stood up to walk over to him but he shook his head. She sat back down and looked over at him in confusion.

"Tom?" she asked. He continued to play seemingly ignoring her. The truth was he was trying to get up his courage to do what he knew he needed to do. Jude's thoughts were going all over the place, wondering what he was doing and what they needed to talk about. If he was going to say what happened on tour didn't matter or change things, she honestly didn't know what she was going to do. She closed her eyes when the music began to calm her. She quickly opened them back up when she heard Tommy's voice harmonize with the guitar.

Sitting here with you
You ask me why my tongue is tied
I've tried to make some since of all these things I feel inside
I've been searching for the perfect words to say
They've been said a thousand times
But they mean more today… Tommy glanced up and met Jude's gaze. He smiled a little at her shocked expression and continued on with the chorus. This was it. He was going to finally tell her how he felt.

'Cause I'm head over heels for you
and all of the things you do
the heavens and earth have moved
I'm falling head over heels for you…Jude's eyes began to water when the meaning of the song hit home. Tommy was finally admitting his feelings to her, and to himself. For some strange reason, she wanted to laugh. Her emotions were all over the place, it was like her brain had short circuited and all her emotions were jumbled together. Tommy watched as her emotions flickered across her face as he finished out the song.

So baby there it is I've let it go and now you know
It's funny how a feeling starts so small and starts to grow
I had every line rehearsed I'd say to you today
then you looked into my eyes and they just slipped away

'Cause I'm head over heels for you
and all of the things you do
the heavens and earth have moved
I'm falling, head over heels for you

Head over heels heart over mind you've got me body and soul
I've never dreamed in a million years I'd lose complete control

I'm head over heels for you
and all of the things you do
the heavens and earth have moved
I'm falling head over heels for you
Head over heels for you
I'm falling head over heels for you
oooo ohh I'm falling
mmmm I'm falling

When Tom had finished the song, Jude was in tears. She ran up to Tommy and hugged him tightly. Tom himself was close to tears as he pulled her down into his lap so he could get closer to her. When Jude's tears came to a stop she pulled back so she could look Tommy in the face.

"And here I thought you were going to deny anything that happened between us." She said softly, picking at the buttons on his shirt. Tom chuckled and kissed her softly.

"I hope you liked that better." He said after he placed a kiss to her forehead. She nodded and giggled.

"Way better." She replied as she stood up from his lap. She sat down beside and laced her fingers through his.

"So what does this mean? Are we a 'we'?" she asked. Tommy looked down at their interlocked hands and then back up to her face. He smiled and nodded.

"If you want us to be a 'we'." He replied. Jude nodded her head and squeezed his hand.

"Of course I do. Tom, this past tour I tried to forget about you and my feelings that I held for you. It didn't work out, obviously. You were there for me through the whole Tristan fiasco; you were my anchor and support. I fell for you all over again those last weeks on tour. That song, it means so much to me." Jude said looking into Tommy's eyes. He smiled and took her lips once more. He had never been more happy and thankful in his life. Jude sighed and leaned into him. Finally something was going right in her life.

The next day Jude and Tommy walked into G Major hand in hand. They had decided to not hide their relationship. Jude was 18 and no one could say anything about it. They were finally happy, together. Once they reached the studio, everyone at G Major yelled 'Surprise' to her. She dropped Tom's hand in shock and smiled at everyone. She looked over towards Tommy who was smiling and hit him on his arm.

"You knew this was going to happen, didn't you?" she asked poking her finger in his chest. He looked shocked at her accusation.

"Me? I didn't know a thing." He replied, obviously lying. She hit him once more for good measure and turned to everyone. They were all smiling at the couple. She walked into the group and started mingling with people. Every once in a while she would search out Tommy and smile at him when their gazes locked.

Tommy was sitting on a stool watching Jude laugh at something that Speed was telling her with a soft smile on his face. Kwest walked up next to him and chuckled.

"So you finally admitted it to her, huh?" he asked, looking over at Tom. Tommy turned towards Kwest and smiled.

"Yup. I have to say that it was the smartest thing I've ever done." He replied. Kwest smiled back at him and patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm happy for ya man." He said before he walked away. Tommy sipped on his drink and turned towards the crowd again. He looked where Jude was before and sighed. She was hugging Speed. He knew that they had gotten close on tour but that didn't stop him from feeling the pangs of jealousy. Tom finished off his drink and made his way over to Jude. Speed saw him coming and stepped out of the hug. He kissed Jude on the forehead and nodded at Tommy. Jude turned around and smiled.

"Hey Quincy. Nice party, huh?" she asked, looping her arm around his. He nodded in response and pulled her out of the room into a more private one.

"Tommy, what are you doing?" Tommy didn't say anything as he faced her and put both of his hands on her face. She looked up into his eyes in confusion. He smiled a little before he leaned down and took her lips. Jude's legs almost gave out from under her at the contact. She kissed him back as her hands snaked their way around his waist pulling him closer to her. Tommy deepened the kiss and just when he started moving forward pushing Jude backward, the door opened and in walked Darius.

The couple quickly broke apart and moved away from each other. Jude looked down in embarrassment and Tom looked Darius right in the eye.

"I know you guys are a couple and everything but please, don't make out in my office." Darius said. Jude giggled nervously and Tommy looked over at her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room. Darius chuckled before he closed the door behind them.

Jude couldn't stop laughing so when they walked back to the party everyone looked at her like she was crazy. Speed, Wally, and Kyle walked up to the couple and looked at Tommy.

"What's wrong with her?" Wally asked. Tommy blushed.

"Darius caught us in his office." He replied. The guys' eyes widened before they joined Jude in her laughter. Tommy looked at the group like they were insane but it wasn't long before a chuckle escaped. Pretty soon Tommy was laughing just as hard as everyone else was. It had been a while since he's laughed like that. Life was good, for now anyway.
