A/N: So sorry for the long wait! I'll try to update faster from now on. Anyway here's the next chapter I hope you enjoy and please review!

Tommy gently placed his lips on hers as she smiled into the kiss. It only lasted for a few moments though because unfortunately they had forgotten to close the door and as always at G-Major you barely got any privacy even if the door was closed.

"Hello there am I interrupting something?" said Sadie as she walked in. Immediately they pulled apart. "So is this where you would say you get your inspiration from?" Sadie asked trying not to laugh at their reactions.

"I'm just glad that you're not Darius," said Tommy with relief.

"Oh did you want Darius to know I could just go and…"

"No!" they said together.

"Calm down I was just kidding," she said innocently.

"What do you want Sadie?" Jude asked trying to make her forget what she had just seen.

"Nothing, I just saw you two kissing and I thought I might tell you guys that the door was wide open and everyone could see you. But I'll go now as I can see you two are busy working on Jude's 'inspiration' problem."

"Out," said Tommy pointing to the door.

"I'm going and don't worry I'll close the door behind me," she said with a smirk as she left.

"Um, so maybe we should work on that song now," Tommy said as Jude nodded. "What do you have so far?"

"Just this, here let me show you," she said as she went to sit at the piano in the recording booth.

Dark cloud moving in
Just one fall of rain could wash away
Wash away, the pain.

Just one ray of sun
To warm my skin
Rid me of the cold you're drowning in

I could say that I don't care

But the truth is

"And that's where I'm stuck," she said as she went back out to sit next to Tommy.

"Hmm…" he said thoughtfully. "Well I like the beat but it needs a lot of work."

"So what do you suggest?"

"How about this," he said as he grabbed her hand and led her back to the piano. "Try this."

But the truth is I'd take you anywhere

I've been waiting for you for a long time

So don't you ever change,

Your life

"That's nice, but it gave me an idea. How about this," she said as she sat next to him at the piano.

But the truth is I'd follow you anywhere

I've been waiting such a long, long time

Don't you dare change

Your mind

"Now that's more like you," he said as his approval, "Now what about the next verse?"

"How about we try something along the lines of this?"

You seem so close to me

But you're still beyond my reach

Why you calling me

Stop playing hide and seek

Look beyond your ways

I've been here all this time

And I'm not that little girl, you used to know

"Or why not something just a little different; I think I've got something."

It seems so close to me

But still beyond my reach

Calling me

And playing hide and seek

Look behind that door

I'm the one you've been searching for

And I'm not a little girl anymore

I could say that I don't care

But the truth is I'd follow you anywhere

I've been waiting such a long, long time

Don't you dare change

Your mind

"Okay I like that. It flows better. And what about the next part?" she said as he stared at her.

"You just gave me an idea," he said as she smiled at him.

Don't wander round waiting for someone to replace me

Don't wander round wasting the rest of your life

Don't wander round waiting for someone else to save you

"Uh, what else, I'm stuck right there."

And don't you make the same mistake, twice

She finished with a smile.

"So now we should finish it out. I'll let you do the honors," he said.

I could say that I don't care

But the truth is I'd follow you anywhere

I've been waiting such a long, long time

Don't you dare change

Your mind

I could say that I don't care

But the truth is I'd follow you anywhere

I've been waiting such a long, long time

Don't you dare change

Your mind

Change your mind

Don't you dare

Don't

Jude finished with a smile as Tommy grabbed her and gave her another kiss. This time no one interrupted them. And when they finally broke apart they just sat staring at each other until Darius came in.

"Is there any progress going on in here?" he asked as both snapped out of their trance.

"Actually we just wrote a new song," Tommy said trying not to catch Jude's eye.

"Well that's a start. Now you two just have to record it and then you can go."

"Okay," said Jude as he left the two eying them suspiciously.

"Ready to record," Tommy said as he turned back to stare at her again, but when he did he saw tears in her eyes. "What's wrong?" he asked softly.

"What is this Tommy? What are we?" she asked as she held back the tears.

"What do you mean?"

"Every time we do this and nothing comes out of this. I don't want to be in limbo forever Tommy. I need to know where we stand." Tommy's face turned serious.

"I really don't know Jude. I mean your not even eighteen and we kind of work together. It kind of looks like all the odds are against us."

"So what does that mean?" she asked as the tears were becoming harder and harder to hold back every second she just sat there.

"I don't know. I really can't figure out where we stand."

"And that doesn't bother you at all?"

"Of course it does, it's just I try not to put too much thought into it."

"That's not going to solve anything Tommy! We need to know what we are doing here!"

"I know Jude, I know! I just can't figure it out!"

"Then what does that mean! What are we supposed to do if neither one of us knows what is going on!" she said as the tears finally started rolling out.

"Does it really matter! All I know is," he calmed down before he said it. "All I know is that I love you." Jude looked right into his eyes.

"But what does that matter if we have no where to go," she said as she stood up and left the booth.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I don't know. But I cant just sit around here at the moment," she said as she left.

"But you can't just leave!" he said as he followed her to the front door.

"Watch me," she said as she opened the door and left.

-------------------------------------------

Jude went all the way back home and went straight to her room without even bothering to close the door. She threw herself on her bed and totally just broke down. She was crying for a while when it hit her. Why was she crying so hard in the first place? Nothing that terrible had happened. She slowly sat up and took a deep breath. She hated how Tommy had always gotten to her so much.

She calmed herself down and then grabbed her laptop thinking that maybe a little break from the real world would clear her mind.

Tommy closed his cell phone and quickly left his house. He was worried about what was going on at Jude's house that he didn't even notice how fast he was going or how many stoplights he ran.

When he finally got there he ran right up to the front door and didn't even have to ring the doorbell since Jude saw him coming through the window.

"Are you okay?" he said as she pulled him inside and shut the door.

"I'm fine for now, but we can't be seen together outside."

"Jude what happened? Was it James?" Jude nodded as she started to cry again. "What did he do to you? I swear if he hurt you in the least bit I'll…"

"He didn't hurt me. He just told me that he was watching me everywhere I go and he threatened me if I go anywhere today that I'll pay and I just…" she couldn't finish her sentence as she broke down again. Tommy held her as she cried into his shoulder.

"It's okay, just calm down. Don't worry, now that we know he is stalking you you'll never be alone again. You'll be safe," he reassured her as he stroked her hair.

"I'm sorry for breaking down like this it's just that this is the second time in one year. It just gets to me you know?" She said as she wiped away her tears.

"It's okay Jude. You have a right to break down every once in a while. And it's better to let it all out than to keep it all bottle in." She smiled as he hugged her.

"So now what do we do that I can't be alone anymore?"

"Well for today I'll stay here with you and we'll figure out what we are going to do tomorrow."

"Okay," she said as she pulled away. "So what should we do for the rest of the day?" Tommy knew what he would like to do.

"Do you have any movies?"

After a long, and very comfortable, night Jude and Tommy were deciding what they were going to do about the situation before them.

"I have no where to go with Sadie in New York and both of my parents not around anymore. Do you think I should move to New York?"

"No way," Tommy said as he thought about what it would be like without her there. "There would be too many people here who would miss you. Anyway I was thinking about somewhere closer."

"So where is it that you have in mind?" Jude asked wondering where she could go.

"Um…Well…"

"Tommy?"

"Okay, I was thinking that you could, maybe, you know. Move in with me," he said hoping she would say yes.

"Oh, um…"

"You don't have to answer right now, it was just a suggestion and…"

"Actually that sounds like a great idea."

"And, wait what?"

"I said sure Tommy. I think that just might be the perfect place for me to feel safe. To be with someone I know I can trust."

"Okay then. So what are we going to do for the rest of the day now that that is settled?"

"Maybe we could go record a new song at the studio?"

"Sure, and then we can come back and get your stuff later."

"Sounds like a plan," she said as she stood up. "Are you coming?" Tommy smiled as he stood up and followed her out the door watching for anything suspicious.

-------------------------------------------

"You need to come back with me," Tommy said as he stood in her doorway. Jude looked up from her laptop and saw him standing in her doorway.

"How did you get up here?"

"Sadie let me in, but that's not the point. You need to record that song today. Darius is furious that you left without recording."

"I don't care anymore. I just want to figure things out between us already. Why does that seem so hard to do lately?" she said as she put her laptop aside and stood up.

"Jude," he said as he stepped into her room and closed the door. "I'm sorry I said what I did. I didn't really mean that. It's just that everything is so confusing right now and I didn't know what else to say." Jude nodded as he spoke.

"I'm sorry too for running out like that. Everything just kind of all came down on me at once and…"

"It's okay," he said as he wrapped her in his arms.

"Tommy?"

"What's wrong?" he asked as he looked down at her.

"I…I really love you too." They both smiled as they shared a quick kiss. "But what are we supposed to do? We can't be together."

"Once you turn eighteen we can."

"But if we still work together than how…"

"Nothing can hold us back. It'll all be legal."

"But what if Darius won't let us?"

"Then we leave and make our own studio."

"Do you really think that would work?"

"No, but there's still a chance that Darius has a heart and we won't have to resort to that plan, or maybe we're doomed, either way we'll stick together."

"Glad you all made up, but Darius isn't going to wait much longer," said Sadie who was standing at the door.

"Don't you ever knock?" Jude said as she pulled away from Tommy.

"Not when it's you two, you guys would never answer if you knew it was me."

"Well, I guess she has a point there," said Tommy as he grabbed Jude's hand and led her out the door.
