Sorry about the delay. I just came back from Canada Monday. Toronto is so awesome! I saw Niagra and everything. They didn't show any Instant Star while I was there. Not even the first season. But colorguard won first place! Anyways, I'm rambaling. Here's chapter 5 in my story.

Chapter 5: Another lie, Another dream

He opened the door.

Tommy: Oh, crap!

Sadie raised an eyebrow at him. Tommy couldn't believe he just said that out loud.

Tommy: Sadie, what are you doing here?

Sadie: Uh, I was just here to see if you know where Jude is.

Tommy: No, why would I?

Sadie: Well, I know she was working late with you and I was just wondering if you knew because neither mom nor Jude showed up last night.

Tommy: Oh, I think I heard Jude saying something about sleeping over someone's house.

Sadie: Oh, okay. Thank you.

Sadie was about to walk away but turned around to look at him again.

Sadie: Do you want to, maybe, get some breakfast or something?

Tommy: I'm kind of busy. I need to work at G-Major today.

Sadie: I understand. I just thought you know, after our massive break up scene we needed to find some closure.

Tommy: I would like that. We should talk. How about tomorrow for lunch?

Sadie: (smiles) I would love to. Thanks Tom.

Tommy: Yea, no problem.

Sadie suddenly heard a loud sigh coming from his bedroom. Tommy had a sudden look of horror on his face.

Sadie: What was that?

Tommy: What was what?

Sadie: You're not very good at acting dumb.

Jude: Tommy?

'Uh oh' Tommy thought to himself. He needed to get rid of Sadie fast before she recognized who it was.

Sadie: Is that…

Tommy: Well, I'll see you tomorrow Sadie.

He literally thrust her out and locked the door.

Jude: Tommy?

Jude came out of the bedroom scratching her head.

Jude: Was someone at the door?

Tommy: Um, no, no. Good morning.

Jude: Good morning.

Tommy: So you hungry? I could make some breakfast.

Jude: Nah, I'm about to get dress then head back home.

Tommy: Are you sure? I mean we have to be at the studio in a couple of hours anyway.

Jude: Yea, I guess your right.

Tommy: Of course, when am I ever not?

Tommy had a cocky smile across his face.

Jude: You're so full of yourself.

Jude went over to Tommy and hugged him securely and he returned the motion. He kissed her head.

Tommy: I love you.

Jude smiled and Tommy smiled back. Jude gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

Jude: I'm going to go take a shower and I'll be right back.

Tommy: May I join you?

Jude: You wish Quincy.

Jude laughed and grabbed her clothes she wore the other day and went into the bathroom. Tommy decided that he would make breakfast for the both of them.

After about 20 minutes Jude came out with a black towel around her just barely covering her. She went into the kitchen and saw Tommy flipping some flapjacks (or pancakes).

Jude: Tommy?

Tommy: Yea?

He turned around and saw Jude in the towel. He was so stunned and he dropped the spatula he had in his hands. He picked it up quickly still gawking at Jude. Jude tried to hide her amusement.

Jude: Um, are you okay?

Tommy: Yea, uh, fine. Do you need help with something?

Jude: I was just wondering if you had any coffee.

Tommy: Yea, plenty of coffee.

Tommy was still looking at Jude's body in that towel. All of his emotions were running through him. How he wished that he could just take that off right now. Jude loved this.

Jude: Tommy…

Tommy: Hmm?

Jude: My face is up here.

Tommy his head shot up.

Jude: And, I think your pancakes are burning.

Tommy: Oh, no.

Tommy turned off the stove and sighed with relief. His flapjacks were saved. Jude went into Tommy's room and put on her clothes. Then she noticed something she hadn't notice before. On Tommy's drawers, there were pictures of them. She went over to look at them. She couldn't believe how many there were. There was one that she especially liked. It was a wallet size in a small sliver frame. It was them at the studio. She was playing her guitar while he was playing the piano. They were just looking at each other with smiles trapped on their faces. Tommy came in and saw her looking at the picture.

Tommy: That's my favorite too.

Jude turned around. He walked towards her.

Jude: Tommy, do you mind if I can have this? I mean, the only one I have of you and me is the one from my first debut in a tabloid.

Tommy: I don't know, I mean I really like this one.

Jude: Come on Tommy, you have like a dozen. Please.

Jude gave him the sad eyes which always worked around him.

Tommy: Don't give me that look; you know it's not fair.

Jude didn't stop. She looked straight into her eyes.

Tommy: Alright fine.

Jude: Yes! Two for Jude, zip for Tommy.

Tommy: What? Now you're keeping track on how many times I cave into you're "sad eyes".

Jude: Of course.

After breakfast Tommy and Jude decided to go for a ride on his motorcycle. They didn't need to go to the studio for another 2 hours. They drove past this restaurant and Jude saw Sadie's new boyfriend sitting with a browned hair girl.

Jude: Stop!

Tommy put on the brakes and pulled over next to the sidewalk. Jude hopped off to get a closer look. She rubbed her eyes making sure she was seeing everything correctly. Tommy came out and wondering what she was staring at.

Tommy: What is it Jude?

Jude: That's Sadie's boyfriend, but that's not Sadie.

Tommy: It's all probably completely innocent.

Just then Jake started to touch the chick of the "other girl" and kissed her. Tears started to form in Jude's green eyes.

Jude: No, he can't do this to her. He won't get away with this.

Jude started to walk to the direction of her house but Tommy grabbed her arm.

Tommy: Where do you think you're going?

Jude: I need to tell Sadie. I have to!

Tommy: Listen, Jude maybe you shouldn't, maybe it's best for her to find this out on her own.

Jude: How can you say that Tommy? You don't expect me to just say nothing at all. I can't lie to her!

Tommy: Jude, calm down!

Jude: Tommy, I'll call you later. I have to go.

Tommy: Wait, I'll ride you over there.

Jude: No, I need space. I need time to think. I'll meet you at the studio.

Jude walked off and Tommy stood there rubbing his temples and then stepped back in his car. Jude walked the 5 miles to her house to clear her head. She saw Sadie's bug in the driveway and took a deep breath before walking into the house. She opened the door but the house seemed vacant.

Jude: Sadie? Are you here?

Sadie came skipping downstairs and saw Jude.

Sadie: Jude, I've been wondering where you were. Tommy told me you slept over someone's house.

Jude: Tommy?

Sadie: Yea, I went to his house this morning to ask if he knew where you were. And…just between me and you, I think he has a new girlfriend.

Jude: Speaking of relationships, Sades, I need to tell you something. It's really important. It's something that happened today.

Sadie: Okay, what is it?

Jude: Umm, well, it's like this…

Jude didn't have the heart to tell her. She wanted to tell her but something was holding her back. All the words were in her head but it wasn't sending the message to her mouth. Sadie stood there waiting for an answer.

Jude: It's about…Jake.

Sadie: What about him?

Sadie was getting scared now.

Jude: I saw something.

Sadie: What?

Jude was trying to hide from her gaze and tears started to form in both of their eyes.

Jude: I…um…

Jude was moving frantically about and Sadie grabbed her by her shoulders and made Jude look at her.

Sadie: Jude! Tell me what you saw, please.

Jude: He was…he was at the restaurant near the park.

Sadie: Okay?

Jude: And, he was with another girl.

Sadie: He has a project to do. It was probably his partner. He told me he was working with a girl. They were probably just studying. You worry too much.

Sadie walked back upstairs. Jude couldn't bring herself to tell her only sister that her boyfriend kissed his "study partner". She knows that she should've, but it was just too hard. Jude walked back out of the house. She felt guilt wash over her as she strolled down the sidewalk. She didn't know where she was going. She just knew she had to clear her head. She walked for only about 20 minutes until she saw a very familiar motorcycle at the entrance to the park.

Jude: What is Tommy doing here?

She decided to look for him in the park. There he was, sitting on a swing. She walked over there and looked at him quizzically.

Jude: So is this what producers do in there spare time? Sit on a playground swing set and watch helplessly as the world goes by?

Tommy smiled.

Tommy: Those would be pretty good lyrics.

Jude: What? The "playground swing set" part?

Tommy: (laughed) No, the "watch helplessly as the world goes by" part.

Jude: Okay? But why are we talking about lyrics?

Tommy: Because…we have to make a single at the end of the week.

Tommy said the last line pretty fast but Jude still caught on to what he was saying.

Jude: I'm sorry, I must've not heard you right. Did you just say that we need to make a single by the end of next week?

Tommy: Actually, by the end of this week.

Jude: Why are you telling me this now? I can't think of a song in 5 days, especially with school getting in the way.

She sat down to the swing next to him.

Jude: Well then, I guess we better get started.

Tommy: Good, because I brought us a picnic basket with sandwiches.

Jude: Extra mayonnaise?

Tommy: Of course.

Jude: So you knew I would come?

Tommy: Oh I hoped for it.

Jude smiled as Tommy laid a blanket on the grass and pulled out the sandwiches. Jude sat down next to him and took a bite out of it. She loved it.

Jude: Mm, yummy.

Tommy: Alright, so we have juice, dessert, a notebook, and a pen.

Jude: Do you have your guitar in that bag too, Quincy?

Tommy: Hey, I like to be prepared.

Jude: Right. Well, I better get started.

Jude laid on her stomach and started to write down scribbles of sentences and words. About 15 minutes past and Tommy was putting away all of the food. Jude was scratching her head and scratching out sentences. Then she would bob her head again and write down something else. Tommy could tell she was having a hard time, so he decided to help her.

Tommy: Need help?

Jude: Plenty. I can't seem to agree on anything. Nothing's coming in my head.

Tommy: Let me see what you have so far.

Jude handed the notebook to him and he started to read it out loud.

Tommy: There's more to me than meets the eye. What you see is not always what you get. Soon I'm gonna fly to the sky. But my name you'll never forget.

He started laughing and Jude punched him.

Tommy: Ow!

Jude: I told you, I can't think of anything good.

She snatched the book back and ripped out the page. The sun was setting and Jude decided she wanted to go home. Tommy took her on his motorcycle.

Tommy: Goodnight.

Jude: Goodnight.

Tommy: I love you.

Jude: Bye.

They smiled at each other and Tommy put his helmet back on and rode off. Jude watched him leave and then walked inside her house. Her mom and sister were asleep on the sofa while the movie The Village was playing. Jude could see why they fell asleep, she hated that movie. She turned it off and took the popcorn bowl, and ate the few that remained. She looked at her sister and still regretted not telling her. She stepped into the kitchen and put the bowl in the sink.

Jude tossed and turned on her bed. She couldn't sleep. She had the same dream again, the one about Tommy leaving. 'What does it mean?' Jude thought to herself as she closed her eyes tightly trying to fall back asleep. After about twenty minutes of trying she got off of her bed and grabbed her journal.

Jude: Might as well.

She took her guitar and strummed a few chords softly so it wouldn't wake the others. A perplexed appearance came across her face. She actually liked the sound of the chords. She wrote the notes down quickly and started to play again. Jude was rapturous. Then she tried to think of words to go with it. She couldn't believe it, the words were coming out. After about 2 hours of writing and scratching out words, she was done with the first verse, the chorus, and a little bit of the second verse. It was around 2 in the morning so she decided it was time to go to sleep. She needed to be at the studio early tomorrow. She turned off her nightlight and went under her sheets hoping she could finally get some sleep.

Jude: Why?

Tommy: Because…I have to. I have no other choice.

Jude: Don't Tommy, please, don't leave me.

Tommy: Jude, I'm sorry. It's not right. I can't.

Tommy was backing up to the edge of a cliff.

Jude: No…NO! TOMMY DON'T!

Jude ran after him to make sure Tommy wouldn't fall, but he moved out of her way and let her fall. She was about to hit the ground until…

Voice: Jude, Jude, wake up.

Jude opened her eyes unexpectedly that it made her sister jump a little. Jude sat up in her bed and looked at her sister. She was sweating and quivering again. Sadie's face turned very concern.

Sadie: Are you okay Jude?

Jude: Yea, um, just a bad dream.

Sadie: Oh, umm, okay, well hurry and get dressed. It's almost 9 and Tommy's coming to pick you up any minute.

Jude: Alright.

Jude shook her head in disbelief. Why were these dreams coming to her? She just wanted to them to stop. She got out of bed, picked out some clothes, and went into the shower. A few minutes later Jude came out the bathroom fully dressed. She was coming downstairs when she heard voices. To her surprise she saw Tommy and Sadie talking.

Sadie: So how are you doing Tom?

Tommy: Fine, fine.

Sadie: And, uh, how's your new girlfriend?

Tommy: Uh, what are you talking about?

Sadie had the biggest smirk on her face.

Sadie: The girl that was in your place last time I came over.

'Last time she came over?' Jude questioned, 'When did she come over?'

Tommy: Oh, her, that was just…um…a one night thing. We were both kind of crazy that night and it just sorta happened. It meant nothing.

Jude put her hand on hips as she was over looking from the stairwell.

Sadie: Oh, well, Jude will be down in a moment. I'll see you at 1:00, remember.

Tommy: I'll remember.

'I wonder what's at 1:00. Something strange is happening' Jude thought as she came down the stairs.

Jude: Hey.

Tommy: Hey!

Tommy was about to go up and kiss her, but he forgot that they weren't alone. So he stopped the urges and just gave her a slight hug.

Tommy: You ready?

Jude: Yep and I have a new song. Well, at least half of one.

Sadie: See you guys later.

Jude: Bye Sadie.

Tommy: Bye Sades.

They walked out to his hummer.

Jude: I swear Quincy, you change cars daily.

Tommy: I like change.

Once they were safely a block down Tommy stopped the car and kissed Jude. Once he pulled away Jude had a big grin resting on her face. They whispered "good morning" to each other and then they drove off to G-Major. Once they got in the building Liam dragged them to the Darius's office. Tommy and Jude sat in the chairs as Darius put down the newspaper that was covering his obvious anger.

Darius: We have a problem.

Jude: Is it about the single? Because if it is I have a new…

Darius: It's not about the single. It's about you two.

Jude and Tommy looked at each other and then back at Darius with horror.

Tommy: What do you mean?

Darius turned around the newspaper that had a picture on it. Jude looked at Tommy and whispered to herself…

Jude: Uh oh.

Ha ha! It's a cliffy. Sorry to leave you hanging like that. I'm going to go make some pies. YUM! Please R&R, I'm hoping to get a lot more reviews...so please!
