Chapter 24

That night, no one saw Jude or Speed. Everyone knew why and didn't know how to fix it.

The next morning, Kyle, Wally, and Mason took Monica to the airport leaving Jude and Speed alone to hopefully work things out. Jude was sitting on the couch starring out the window with a cup of coffee.

"Care to talk?" Speed asked as he walked out to see her sitting there.

"Do you really want to talk to me?" Jude replied not looking at him.

"Yes and no. You?"

"Same, but we are going to have to eventually."

"Yea, I guess. How could you think I would ever cheat on you or use you?"

"I don't know, I didn't want to, but then I saw you and Monica and lost it. The more I think about it, the more I realize how stupid I was. You have done more things for me and I just, I don't know. I just jumped to conclusions I guess."

"It hurt me a lot that you thought I would hurt you like that. It destroyed me that you turned to Quincy."

"I know, I can't believe I did that. I wasn't thinking straight and he was the first person I saw when I ran out of there. I regret it more then anything, Speed."

"I know, but it just leaves me speechless. Hours after we broke up you went and slept with Quincy. I felt like the one who was used and that I meant nothing to you."

"I understand Speed and I love you. I just hope you still feel the same."

"I do Jude, I don't think I could ever stop loving you."

"Will you take me back and eventually forgive me?"

"I don't know, you kind of smell." Speed said jokingly.

"I am so sorry Speed, sorry beyond belief." Jude yelled as he hugged him.

"You have a lot of making up to do, you realize that?" Speed replied as he held her tight against him.

"Yes, anything. I am just happy to have you back." Jude said then she kissed Speed.

A couple hours later, Kyle, Wally, and Mason got back to the bus and walked in to see Speed on the couch with Jude on top of him.

"Hey, you guys better?" Kyle asked.

"Sshh…she is asleep but yea." Speed said quietly.

"We will leave you two alone, there is a mall about a block away." Wally said as the guys turned around and left.

"Was that the guys?" Jude mumbled a few minutes later.

"Yea, but they left. You know what?" Speed replied.

"What?" Jude asked back.

"That I love you." Speed said as he kissed her forehead.

"I knew that, are we going to a hotel tonight?" Jude asked as she played with his hand in hers.

"Yea, why?" Speed replied.

"Because I want to be with you, nothing sexual has to happen, I just want to wake up in your arms again." Jude said.

"Sounds like a plan." Speed replied as he held Jude close to him.

The last week of tour went by faster then they expected. Jude and Speed's relationship seemed to be stronger after the whole Tommy incident. Mason left two days after Tommy returned to Toronto. Everyone was excited to be coming home, but also dreading it. Jude was dreading it the most. This meant that she was going to have to see Tommy even more.

"We will be home in ten hours." Lenny yelled back.

"Thanks, guys I am going to miss this." Jude replied.

"We will too. We had a good time. Learned a lot and watched you and Speed repair your relationship twice." Wally said.

"This tour was awesome; I think better then the first one." Speed added.

"Guys, we have to have a third tour." Kyle also added.

"Totally, but I am exhausted." Jude replied.

"So are we." Wally said as they all yawned.

"Let's go to bed then." Speed said as he walked over and picked Jude up.

Speed and Jude went to sleep in Jude's bunk while Kyle and Wally went to theirs.

About forty minutes before they were to arrive home, they all woke up.

"Home here we come." Wally said as the all sat down and had a snack.

"Promise me something guys." Jude said.

"Anything." They all replied.

"We will stay great friends like we are now. I love all you guys." Jude said.

"You love them?" Speed replied pretending to be hurt.

"I love you the most." Jude said as she kissed passionately.

"Let them go?" Wally asked Kyle.

"Might as well, who knows when they will make out again once Quincy is back in the everyday picture screwing things up." Kyle replied.

When they arrived at G-Major, Jude and Speed were still in their little world. Wally and Kyle got off and let Lenny get Jude and Speed.

"Welcome home!" Portia yelled as everyone stood outside the bus.

"Portia!" Jude yelled back.

"Great photo opt. We are definitely getting one. Huddle up guys." Portia directed.

"OK, Wally, grab her feet, Kyle hold her waist." Speed said.

The guys held Jude across them for the picture. They took some good ones then Portia told them to have fun with a few. They did one where Jude was kissing Speed and Kyle and Wally pretended to be throwing up. Jude's favorite picture was on the bus, they all piled into one bunk for a picture.

Jude and SME started school in four days and were back to work in seven. Jude also found out that Tommy had got his job back and was going to be her producer. This worried her, could her and Speed survive Tommy constantly being there?
