Disclaimer - I do not own Instant Star

Chapter 15 - He wouldn't hurt me, right?

No one's Pov -

Tommy drove back to the bowling aly contemplating everything that had just happened. He should've just taken her home. It would have left things like they needed to be left..but then again, if he had, he would have never found out about her getting drunk when she left. And they would have never made peace. Maybe it was a good thing.

He got out of his car and closed the door behind him, before walking up to the aly. Once inside he immediately spotted his earlier group, Kwest and Sadie still playing the game and Jason and Destany sitting at the table. He took a deep breath before walking up to them and sitting across from Jason and next to Destany.

"Jesus Tom, does she live in the states or something?" Destany asked. Tommy looked away while shaking his head.

"Where the hell were you?" Destany continued, pulling his face to face her own.

"We needed to talk." Tommy said. Destany glared.

"Talk? You've been gone for an hour..I don't know if I can deal with this Tommy. I really don't. I'm supposed to be your fiance..and ever since we've come to this crappy town you've been chasing her..don't say you haven't! I'm not blind!" Destany said, getting up and spinning the spinny chair in anger. Tommy brought his hand to his forehead.

"Destany, not now okay?" He said.

"Of course..not now. Not later. Not ever." She said, grabbing his keys quickly out of his pocket and then heading towards the exit.

"Come on!" Tommy screamed, really tempted to knock the table in half at the moment.

"Get a ride home with your precious friends." She said without even looking back.

Tommy glared towards the door for a few minutes before looking back at his brother with equal annoyance.

"Don't you even look at me like that." Tommy warned. Jason shook his head while giving his older brother a long cold stare.

"That why you wanted me to stay away from her? Huh? I should've known. You're an idiot." Jason finished, still shaking his head.

Tommy narrowed his eyes.

"I wanted you to stay away from her because you are a punk. She doesn't need another mistake. And you are nothing but a mistake." Tommy spit out. Jason also narrowed his eyes.

"Well 'Quincy' I'd say you are her biggest mistake. I think she'd agree with me." Jason said, quite confidently.

Tommy shook his head.

"You don't know what you're talking about." He says.

"Oh don't I?" Jason continues.

"Look. I'm not discussing this with you." Tommy bites.

"If not me..you better with your soon to be wife. And I don't care how many fantasies you have about our little Instant Star..in the end..she will be mine." Jason said, getting up and flipping his shades over his eyes. Tommy watched the smirk form across his little brother's lips and then he watched him walk away. The smirk was the only thing that he could think about..that and Jude..as always.

Jude's Pov -

So now I'm here..laying in my bed. Empty house. Total and complete discomfort. I miss him...as much as I hate to admit. I miss him. I miss spending most of my time with him. I miss everything about him. And I can't sleep. Haha..another one of those nights. Whats new?

He's so frustrating. He can be the most sensable person I know..and then again..be the most careless person. It's the same with me..I think sensable..until I'm with him. My mind gets taken over by an unwanted and unknown force that some how persuades me to fall into his trance. His mind. His heart..

"Ugh." I pull the pillow from over my head and grab my notebook that was resting peacefully on my nightstand. Yes, It was resting peacefully. Haha.

You tell me I'm strong when I know I'm weak

I'm not blind, I'll admit defeat

You whispered promises..

Their echos are trapped in my mind

The sorrow mixed somewhere inbetween

Thinking about you

The one I thought would never betray me, unlike everyone else

But you lead me to believe a lie..again

And now here I sit

My heart and soul frozen

Looking through your eyes

Was like looking through glass

Nothing, you were heartless

No feelings for anyone but yourself

I still can't see how this happened

You've drifted into the unfortunate grasp of age

And we can't turn back

I stopped writing and read over the words. I'm not sure how I came up with that..It kind of just poured out of me. You know how that goes? When you just start writing and when you're done and you look..it's like..wow. Thats how I feel now.

I close my notebook and put it back where it was. As I start to pull the covers back over me I hear a faint knock on the door. Who could it be this late? It was nearly twelve..Sadie had a house key.

I get up and walk slowly and cautiously out of my room and down the hallway before clinging to the railing of my stairs. I feel like a little kid..I'm eighteen and I'm scared to answer the door. I'm pathetic.

Finally, after reaching the bottom I walk over and open it, just enough to peek out with one eye. Oh boy..

"Hey." I say, forcing a weary smile.

"Hey." He says, pushing the door open a little.

"How did you know..?" I trail off and he answers.

"Tom..I uh, saw him staring at the house when we first got here. I figured.." He shrugged. I nod and cross my arms over my chest. I'm in pajama pants and a shirt that shows my stomach. My hairs probably all messed up too..ugh..and he keeps staring.

"What are you doing here?" I finally ask, leaning against the door frame.

"Well, I was hoping we could talk." He says. Talk? Um..does he not know what time it is?

"I don't know..it's kind of late. Sadie should be home soon..did you walk here?" I say, looking out a little further to see if I could spot a car. Nope, no car.

"Yeah..it wasn't that far." He shrugged, pushing his way inside of the house. This couldn't be good..

I bite my lip before settling my eyes on the floor and shutting the door. I'm kind of scared to turn around..I could have sworn I smelt alcohol on his breath. It's Tommy's brother though..he wouldn't hurt me..right?

A/N - So what did y'all think? One more thing..next week I am going to Georgia for about a week so I won't be updating all that week :(. I will take a notebook with me though and write as much as I can. Please review you guys?
