Wow! Finally, chapter 6. I have to admit this isn't my favorite chapter but I think it's pretty good. I'm kinda on a writers block after the next chapter, so if anyone has any ideas...please..PLEASE...tell me them. I'm hoping you still like this. Oh, and for those who were reading my other story In the Darkness, I accidently deleted it but i'm going to be writing two new FF called Countdown, and He Always Gets What He Wants. So look out for them. Well here you go...

Chapter 6: Three Little Words
She woke up realizing she was in her car. She turned on the engine and drove to their old house. She hadn't sold it yet, she didn't have the heart to. She walked into it and it was dark and empty. She looked around and everything looked the way it did the day they left it. She walked into the bedroom and saw a newspaper on the nightstand next to the bed. She walked over and read the article. She looked over back at the bed and memories, yet again, flooded her mind.
Back to the Past
The picture was of Tommy and Jude kissing. Darius seemed furious and Liam didn't seem too surprised.
Darius: What is this?
Tommy: It's nothing Darius.
Darius: Nothing? You think it's nothing that I find my producer kissing his artist, who's a minor nonetheless, on the front cover of every tabloid and newspaper in the city?
Tommy: That isn't a kiss.
Jude: Right, he was just leaning in to tell me something and they must've caught the picture when we were pulling away.
Darius looked at her with a little disbelief. Jude put her hands up in defense.
Jude: I swear.
Jude tried to give Darius the most honest smile that she could give. He turned his head to Tommy and he nodded in agreement with Jude.
Darius: Okay, fine, I'll get the presses on it right now. But Jude, you're going to have to do some major damage control. The same goes with you T.
Tommy: We'll do what ever it takes.
Jude: Yea, no problem D.
Darius: Good, now get to work. I want that single out by Thursday.
Jude and Tommy looked at each other with relief and walked out of Darius's office into Studio 1. Once the door was shut and no one was around Tommy let out a big sigh. He looked over at Jude and saw she still had a worried face one her. He went over and kneeled in front of her holding her hands.
Tommy: Is everything ok?
She pulled her hands away. Tommy's stomach tightened up.
Tommy: What's wrong?
Jude: Everything.
Tommy: What do you mean? We got away with it.
Jude: I know.
She stood up abruptly.
Jude: But what about next time? What if next time we don't?
Tommy: Then we'll be more careful.
Jude started tearing up and Tommy hugged her tightly but she pulled away. Tommy was starting to get worried now.
Jude: Maybe you were right. Maybe it won't work.
Tommy: No, Jude, please don't this. I need you…I love you.
Jude: I know, Tommy. I just don't want you to go through this. If we get caught again you can go to jail. I can't bear to lose you again.
Tommy wiped a tear from her cheek and tried to kiss her lightly but she moved her head to the side.
Jude: Tommy we almost got caught. Now you're trying to kiss me in the studio?
Tommy: No one's around Jude.
Jude: But anyone can walk in. Listen, it's almost 1:00, we better get to work. D wants that single done in a hurry.
Tommy suddenly remembered the lunch date he had with Sadie.
Tommy: Oh no, listen Jude, I'm going to get some lunch. I'll be back in about an hour.
Jude: But Tommy, my song.
Tommy: Just try to finish it and I'll be back. I'm just really hungry.
He left Jude dazed and confused.
Jude: Right.
She just sat on the couch and took out the journal she had in her backpack. She had her pen in her hand ready to finish the song, but decided to write a brand new one. She flipped a couple of pages and smiled when she finally finished.
Meanwhile Tommy and Sadie were having a pretty good time. They finally had closure. They talked about how they first got together, and how they broke up. Also everything in between. Tommy even told Sadie about how he felt about Jude. Surprisingly she wasn't mad or anything. She just nodded in understanding, like she already knew.
Sadie: So, where's Jude now?
Tommy: At the studio finishing her song.
Sadie: I see. Guess she was pretty shocked when you told her you were meeting me for lunch.
Tommy: Well, actually, I didn't tell her.
Sadie: What, why not?
Tommy: I figured she'd freak if I did so I just told her I was going for lunch.
Sadie: It's not a good idea to lie to Jude. She'll find out one way or another, and you know how she feels about liars.
Tommy: How could I forget, she knocked me into the hot tub when she thought I lied.
Sadie: So why'd you do it?
Tommy: You're right.
Tommy leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips. But it was one of those polite kisses that didn't mean a thing. Just friend wise and nothing more. Both of them knew this, but one pair of blue eyes didn't.
Tommy: I'll tell her when I get back.
Sadie: Um, I don't think you have to.
Tommy: What do you mean?
Sadie pointed behind Tommy and he saw a teary-eyed Jude standing there in total shock. Hurtful tears were starting to fall from her eyes. Tommy stood up trying to get to her but she ran away. Sadie got up and ran outside and tried to call Jude back but she just kept running. Jude ran until she finally made it to her rehearsal space. She collapsed on the couch and sobbed into the pillow.
Sadie figured where Jude was going so she went to the rehearsal space to find out that she was right. She heard muffled sobs through the door and knocked.
Jude: Go away!
Sadie ignored her demand and walked in anyway. Jude heard her heels on the cement floor and looked up. She looked at her older sister with hurt eyes and hid her face back in the pillow.
Sadie: Jude, are you okay?
Jude didn't respond. She was trying to calm down and stop crying.
Sadie: Jude, talk to me.
Jude was able to calm down and she sat up on the couch. Sadie sat next to her and rubbed her back gently.
Jude: I don't get it. I thought you hated each other.
Sadie: We wanted to get some closure.
Jude: Yea, well the only closure I saw was the space between your lips.
Sadie: Jude…
Jude: You know, it really hurt seeing that. But if you want him, you can have him. It's not the first time you stole him from me.
Jude positioned herself up from the couch.
Sadie: Jude! You don't really believe that I would…
Jude: What? Get back together with him? Why not, I mean he never really cheated on you. I'm pretty sure he told you that.
Sadie: Jude all we did was talk! Why don't you believe me?
Jude started to cry again and started to yell a little bit.
Jude: You know I wish I could Sadie, I really do but I can't! Of all the things you did to me in the past and all the pain that you caused me because of your stupid jealousy! Why should I trust you now?
Sadie: Fine, don't believe me. I'll leave now.
Sadie started to walk out and Jude was still facing the same position. Sadie stopped mid-way to say something.
Sadie: By the way Jude, Tommy told me…about you and him. He told me how much he loved you and how much it hurt when you told him that you wanted to call it quits. So if you still think that I would do that, then maybe we're not the ones that are hurting you. Maybe it's you…who's hurting you.
Sadie opened the door and walked out. Jude just stood there and understood what Sadie was saying. She felt so stupid for even thinking any of that. Jude took a minute to gather her thoughts. She nodded to herself and ran out the door to Tommy's house.
About 45 minutes later, Tommy was sitting on his loveseat thinking about earlier. He scolded himself harshly. He basically was cursing himself out in his mind. Then he heard a knock. He slowly walked to the door. When he opened it he saw Jude with dried tears on her cheeks. He looked so happy to see her but guilt came over his eyes.
J&T: I'm sorry.
They said in unison and both of them felt some sort of relief.
Jude: No, it's my fault. I'm sorry I ran out like that. I should've known it didn't mean anything. I should've let you at least explain.
Tommy: No, the fault's all mine. I should've told you the truth on where I was going. I just didn't want you to freak. So it's all my doing.
Jude: Yea, you're right. It is your fault.
Jude smirked and Tommy held his hand over his heart.
Tommy: That hurt.
Sarcastic ness took over his voice and Jude laughed. Jude stepped in and Tommy shut the door. Tommy leaned in and gave her a very light but meaningful kiss. When he backed away their faces became serious. Jude kissed him again with more intensity. Then Tommy deepened the kiss and picked up Jude so that her legs were wrapped around his waist. He carried her to the bedroom and laid her vigorously on the bed. The kiss kept getting more intense and a lot hotter. Their tongues tangled with one another in a complicated dance as hands reached to forbidden places.
Jude let her hands travel up Tommy's shirt and she broke the kiss just long enough to discard his shirt. It was Tommy's turn now and he traveled his hands up Jude's shirt to the hook of her bra. He unclasped it with ease and threw it across the room. Jude changed position on him and now she was sitting on top of him. She slowly moved back and forth on him and he groaned in pleasure. Tommy pulled away and looked at Jude.
Tommy: Are you sure you want to?
Jude: Yes, I'm sure.
Tommy: I love you, Jude.
Jude looked at him, she knew she still couldn't say it. So as an answer she kissed him with much force and started to unbuckle his belt and jeans. Tommy took off Jude's shirt and toured the kisses through her body. It was sending excited shivers down her spine. Tommy changed position on her and now he was on top. Tommy started to unzip her jeans slowly making sure not to panic her. Then he took them off. Tommy started to kiss her soft breast and made his way down to her panty line and hips. Jude's breathing started to get heavier. Tommy was about to take off her remaining clothing until they heard a knock on the door.
Darius: T, open up! I've got something to show you!
Jude and Tommy looked at each other and started to panic. Jude quickly covered herself with one of the sheets on the bed, grabbed her clothes and ran into the bathroom. Tommy quickly buckled his pants back on and put on his shirt.
Darius: T?
Tommy: Yea, coming!
He yelled from the bedroom. He told Jude to stay into the bathroom until it was clear and went to the door. He opened it up and saw Darius with a big smile.
Tommy: Hey, D, what are you doing here?
Darius: I have something wonderful to show you.
Tommy: Well, come on in. Have a seat.
Darius did as told and took a seat on the leather recliner.
Tommy: So what'd you need to show me?
Darius took out a small brown notebook from his jacket.
Tommy: That's Jude's journal.
Darius: Yea, I know, and I think that we have our single in here.
Tommy: Really. She told me she wrote a new song.
Tommy took a seat on the couch next to Darius and looked at the page he had flipped to.
Three Little Words
You say you want me
You say you care
You need to me
You want to share…
You're world with me
Tell me something
Why me?
I know you're gonna hurt me
So just let me be
Never say it
Those three little words
You're suppose to mean it
Yea, that's what I heard
So why say them
Why don't we bring it to an end?
You play the strings
On my guitar
With all the joy it brings
You make it so hard…
To leave you alone
Tell me something
Why now?
I know you're going to hurt me
I just don't know how
Never say it
Those three little words
You're suppose to mean it
Yea, that's what I heard
So why say them
Why don't we bring it to an end?
I'm sorry I can't say what you want
As my tears fall like rain from above
I'm sorry I can't say what you need
Oh, I love…
Never say it
Those three little words
You're suppose to mean it
Yea, that's what I heard
So why say them
Why don't we bring it to an end?
Tommy wasn't too happy with the song. He knew it was about their relationship. He took the notebook and looked it over again. Darius smiled.
Darius: That's the kind of song I was looking for. When you see Jude tell her I want that recorded right away.
Tommy: Sure thing D.
Darius left and Tommy was still looking at the notebook. Jude came out of the bedroom fully dressed. Tommy had forgotten she was still in the bathroom.
Jude: So, what did Darius want?
Jude placed herself next to Tommy and found that he was reading her journal.
Jude: Hey, where'd you get that?
She snatched it from him.
Tommy: Jude, is that what you really think? Do you really think that I'm going to hurt you?
Jude looked down at her journal and saw the song he was reading.
Tommy: Well?
Jude: Why were you reading this in the first place?
Tommy: D brought it over and said that he wants that to be the single.
Jude: Well that's great.
Tommy: Jude, aren't you even listening?
Jude: Tommy, listen, I wrote that about a dream I had.
Tommy: A dream?
Jude: Yea, actually, a couple of dreams. I've been having quite a few of them lately.
Tommy's eyes became soft.
Tommy: You mean like the one you had the other night.
Jude: Yea, like that one.
Tommy: Jude, what are these dreams about?
Jude looked away from Tommy and tears started to fog her sight.
Tommy: C'mon baby, tell me.
Jude: The dreams are…are about me telling you I…I…
Tommy: About telling me you love me?
Jude: Yes, and every time I do you either let me fall and hit the bottom, or leave me alone. It's been scaring so much that you're going to hurt me. I don't want to believe it but it's been happening ever since we've been together. I don't know why but it scares me.
Tommy: Oh, come here.
He hugged her tightly to give her reassurance. Jude sniffled a little to hold back the tears.
Tommy: Listen to me, I love you, and I will never hurt you. I prom…
Jude: No, don't promise. You can't make a promise like that. Even if it's true don't please. Just tell me, and I'll believe thee.
Tommy: Okay.
Tommy kissed Jude lightly on the lips. After an hour of talking Tommy dropped Jude off at her house. She walked inside and saw Sadie and Jake on the couch. She rolled her eyes when she saw him.
Sadie: Hey Jude.
Jake: Hey.
Jude: Hi there.
Sadie went to the kitchen to clean the counter tops since she didn't come back for dinner. She decided to put her mind on something else other than Sadie's cheating and lying boyfriend.
Jake: I love you.
Sadie: I love you too.
Jude put on a disgusted face.
Jake: You are so beautiful.
Sadie: Thank you, and you are so perfect.
Jude was about to explode. How could Sadie be so blind to who Jake really was?
Sadie: I could never ask for a better boyfriend.
Jude slapped down the rag and turned to them.
Jude: Stop it, just stop it! Stop lying to her!
The couple looked at her confused and a little frighten.
Sadie: Jude are you okay?
Jude: Sadie, Jake is not who you think he is. He's been lying to you all this time!
Jake: Excuse me?
Jude: Don't even try to play dumb with me! I saw you with her! I saw you kiss her!
Sadie stood up and stepped back away from Jake.
Sadie: Jake, what is she talking about?
Jake looked a little frighten.
Jake: I have no clue.
Jude: Oh, yea right! I saw at the restaurant the other day. You kissed that stupid girl right on the lips!
Jake quickly stood up from the couch and turned to Sadie with a culpable look.
Jake: Look, Sadie, I'm sorry.
Sadie: You mean it's true?
Sadie was crying now and backing away more from Jake.
Jake: I'm sorry, it's just…
Sadie slapped him across the face. Jude walked over to her sister and told her to go upstairs. Sadie did as told and Jude looked at Jake full with anger.
Jude: Jake I think you should leave.
Jake: Read my lips Jude Harrison, you'll pay for this.
He walked out and slammed the door. Jude went upstairs to comfort her older sister.
Okay so what do you think. Tell me in a review and any ideas please because I'm stuck. So yea, ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. Here are some spoilers...
"This is all your fault Jude!"
"Are you really that stupid? Or did you just not think?"
"I told you I'd be back, and you're not getting away this time"
"Tommy!"
"Is he going to die?"
