"I listened to your stuff, I like it, but it could use some work. Let me hear what you're working on," Tommy said.

Jude nodded and pulled out her guitar. "I have this song I started, but I keep getting stuck in the middle of the 2nd verse."

I feel chained, chained down
You shoved me to the ground
I can't run, I can't shout
Please let me out

So heartless, this couldn't mean less
Gonna push it in your face
I'm only human
And I've got something to say

Let me rise, let me fall
Let me breathe
I wanna lose control, I'm not afraid to lose it all
Let me break, let me crawl
Cause I'll get back up again if you let me fall

If I burn down in this fire
Well, I got myself to blame
I can't stop or give it up
I need to feel the pain

Jude looked up from her guitar at Tommy, waiting for his response. "I like it, but there's just a little something. Instead of Please let me out, how bout Just let me out? The way your song is, it doesn't sound like you're asking for permission."

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks.." Jude said.

"And how about this for the rest of the 2nd verse:

Can you hear me?
Don't come near me
You'll just get in my way
I'm only human
And there's nothing you can say"

"Wow, I like it, it fits," Jude said, in an excited tone.

"Can it be possible? Did Jude Harrison just say she likes something Tom Quincy wrote?" Tommy said, grinning at Jude.

"As long as you swear that you won't tell anyone, I'll let you in on a little secret," Jude said, smiling.

"What?" Tommy eagerly said.

"Well…when I was younger…I used to listen to Boyz Attack a little."

"Hah! I knew it, Jude Harrison, closet Boyz Attacker! You just couldn't resist moi."

"Psssh…don't flatter yourself Quincy. I only had the CD because Sadie wouldn't stop playing it," Jude said, looking at the ground.

"Yeah, yeah, don't lie Jude. We all know that it's hard to resist Tom Quincy," Tommy said, smiling down at Jude.

"Right…well I'm gonna go now, leave you to dream about yourself some more. See ya tomorrow, same time?" Jude asked.

"Sure, see ya then," Tommy said, fiddling with the soundboard.

Jude was halfway out the door when she heard Tommy say, "Hey Jude."

"Yeah?" she replied.

"Kwest was right, we will get along," Tommy said, still fiddling with the soundboard.

Jude just looked at him and smiled, and walked out the door. Tommy sat back in his chair, thinking about Jude. She really can sing, he thought to himself. I guess this won't be as bad as I thought. I was expecting a complete diva, Jude's the total opposite. She's nice, funny, talented, and has a body like woah.

Tommy let his thoughts about Jude wander, but then he realized, Jude's 19, not to mention his artist. He can't go there, and besides, she wasn't into ex-boy banders.
