A/N - I know..I'm a horrible person. I've been so dang busy lately! and this chapter is like..completely short and I aplogize you guys! I don't think this chapter is that good either. To top it off...school started today. I am a sophmore and I HATE it. My teachers suck and yada yada yada..Not to mention it takes time away from me writing. But I have no intention of abandoning this story. There WILL be chapters out as soon as I can write them. Please bare with me? I am seriously trying. Thanks so much for the wonderful reviews, you guys rock! Please keep reviewing?

Chapter 19 - Let the fun begin
Jude's Pov -
I wake up with the sound of Sadie's screeching voice again. I suddenly miss the alarm clock..
When I finally decide to look at my watch it read seven..too early. But you guys know Tommy..early is on time and on time is late.
I get up and scramble around my room for some clothes. I have a few packed but I was too tired last night to get things ready for today. Or can I say..too agravated?
Well anyway once everything is set and I have everything packed I run downstairs with my bags. Then I hear a faint knock on the door and..It can't be Tommy. I know Tommy's knock. So I run to the door and answer it.
"What are you doing here?" I ask as the person makes his way inside, ignoring my protests.
"You didn't think I was going to let you go on this little adventure alone, did you?" He asks, setting his two bags beside mine.
"Mason, I don't think Tommy's going to like this." I say, noticing Tommy's car pulling up in the driveway.
"Oh please. Lover boy will be fine with it." Mason says smiling.
"Okay." I say in a sing song voice.
I grab a few of my bags and Mason grabs his and we're off to Tommy's car. I can already see him shaking his head. Heh, I knew he wasn't going to like this.
He gets out to pop the trunk and looks over at me like I'm crazy.
"What's he doing here?" He asks. I shrug.
"He wanted to come?"
"This isn't a vacation Jude." He says all serious. Jeez..he needs to lighten up.
"Isn't it though?" I ask. That was just to piss him off. It worked. Score!
He shuts up after that and piles our bags in the trunk before turning to his earlier seat.
As I walk up to the back door Jason gets out of the passengers seat and starts to walk to the other side near me.
"What are you doing?" Mason asks, about to sit next to me.
"I'm going to sit by Jude. You can ride shotgun." Jason says.
"Jude sit up here and they can sit in the back." Tommy says, receiving glares from Mason and Jason. So I take it they don't like eachother?
"Okay." I say quietly before getting out and taking the seat by Tommy. Oh yeah..this was going to be tons of fun!
--
"What did I say about touching the radio?" Tommy snaps, glaring at me. I pull my hand away slowly and then hold both of them up in defense.
"Sorry." I say.
"Aw come on Tom. We've been listening to oldies for an hour now." Mason says.
"Fine," Tommy says, punching the nob in, "No radio." He says, finality in his voice.
And then it was back to silence..well...almost.
"How far is this place anyway?" Jason asks for the fifth time in the last half hour.
"We'll be there when we get there." Tommy says, gritting his teeth.
"You've been saying that for the past hour or so."
"Then why are you still asking?"
"Becuase we're still not there."
I shake my head and pull out my notebook from my back. Might as well start on these songs..the sooner I get them written the sooner we all get back and out of this mess.
I notice Tommys eyes drifting from the road to my notebook from time to time and him even nod at times. I'm guessing he likes?
'Staring down this lonely road that lyes ahead of me
Tired of living on the edge of my seat
Shattered dreams and hollow lies keep me going
I keep running from everything, everything that keeps me..burning.'
Tommy looks over and this time we lock eyes..and for a moment..it feels like it's only us in the car. Like it's only us in the world..and we're lost. We've lost ourselves. Who knows if we can find our way back? And who knows if we'll ever be us again.
'In fairytales and true love, I used to believe
Lets write the final chapter, We both know the ending
You're so lost in time..I can't see the way
Blinded by your misery..but what's left to say?'
What is left to say? I said all that could be said. He knows my stance on this. I need..I don't know what I need. Besides, he's getting married still. Maybe it's for the best? Maybe he shouldn't have come back. Maybe..I'm better without him.
And with that thought I feel my eyes begin to water.
"Jude..you okay?" I hear from beside me. No, it's not Tommy..it's Mason.
"Yeah..I'm fine, why?" I ask, sniffing away the tears before they came. He gives me a look and then nods before sitting back into the seat.
"Just checking." He says. I smile and nod before re-reading my writing.
"We're here." Tommy says in a sarcastic tone as he pulls through the gate.
As we park I manage to let out a small sigh.
"Let the fun begin.." I say to myself before stepping out of the car and starting toward the trunk for my bags.
A/N - So? I know..it's horrible. :(..Please review?..Oh and I know the song sucks..but I had to write it last minute.
