I'm not gonna even bother asking for reviews. The same 4 people review every chapter. And I love you four for doing it! Although I do get some really good reviews from first time readers and some Jommy fans! Thankies!
"Darius, we've got the song. We finished it two days ago," Jude said when she and Speed walked into his office.
"Why did it take two days for you to get it to me?" Darius asked.
"We've been cleaning the apartment for the past two days," Speed said, laughing.
"What was so bad that it took two days to clean?" Darius asked.
"You don't even wanna know," Jude said.
"I'll take your word for it. Now look, Tommy's working with Mason right now, so I'm gonna put you with Kwest," Darius said.
"Yes!" Speed said the same time Jude said "No!"
"Whoa, does it really matter?" Darius asked.
"Yes!" the two of them exclaimed.
"Kwest makes awesome sandwiches. And he's good," Speed said.
"Tommy has produced everything I've ever recorded," Jude said.
"Well since this is your song Jude, how about we do this. Vincent, you'll record the music with Kwest, and Jude you'll sing over it with Tommy," Darius said.
"Fine," Jude said.
"No," Speed said.
"Vin, what's your deal?" Jude asked.
"You tell me, Harrison," he said, walking out.
"Do I wanna know?" Darius asked.
"No. I'll talk to him. And I'll find out when Quincy's gonna be done with Mason," Jude said, walking out.
"Speed," Jude called out. She didn't know where he was.
"Spiederman!" she shouted. Still no answer. She walked around G Major, hoping to run into him, but she couldn't find him. He wasn't even with Kwest.
"Maybe he went home?" Kwest suggested.
"He came with me," Jude said.
"I don't know then. What happened?" Kwest asked.
"He got mad because, no offence, I'd rather work with Tommy," Jude said.
"I completely understand. He's your producer. Speed's never really liked him. Actually no, he's never really liked the closeness of you two," Kwest said.
"How do you know?" Jude asked.
"He tells me everything. I think I talked to him every day since SME got signed," Kwest said, knowingly.
"So what, he thinks I'd rather be with Tommy?" Jude asked.
"Yeah," Kwest said.
"And you're sure you don't know where he is?" Jude asked.
"If I find out, I'll give you a call," Kwest said.
"Thanks. God, I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid," Jude said.
"Hey, Kyle, do you know where Speed is?" Jude asked.
"Nope, I thought he was with you," Kyle said.
"He was. We got into a fight about Tommy. He doesn't wanna let Tommy produce the song. And he like, stormed off. And I haven't seen him since," Jude said.
"I have no clue where he is," Kyle said.
"Okay, well if you find him, call me back. I'm starting to worry about him," Jude said, hanging up her phone. She walked out to the parking lot and saw that her car was gone.
"Fuck," she cursed.
"Kyle? Hey, he took my car," she said, almost in tears.
"How'd he manage to do that?" Kyle asked.
"He has the spare key," she said.
"Oh. This is bad. We're gonna come get you," Kyle said.
"Okay," she said. She sat on the curb and waited for Kyle and Wally to go get her.
"Hey, are you okay?" Tommy asked, sitting next to her.
"No. Me and Speed got into a fight, and I can't find him, and now my car is gone, he took it," Jude said.
"Don't you two always fight?" Tommy asked.
"Yes, well, this one was bad. And we haven't fought since, summer," Jude said.
"And he took your car? That's gotta suck. How are you getting home?" Tommy asked.
"Kyle and Wally are on their way to get me. I just can't believe he'd do something like this," Jude said.
"How could you not? Vin's not the most mature person in the world," Tommy said.
"Yeah, but this? I just can't believe him," Jude said.
"What was did you two argue about that made him do this?" Tommy asked.
"Nothing. It's not, I don't really wanna talk about it, okay?" Jude said.
"Talking will make you feel better," Tommy said.
"Well, maybe I don't feel like feeling better right now," Jude said, sniffling. Tommy faced her and wiped her tears out of her face.
Months ago, she would've died to be in this position. She knew what was coming, and the last thing she wanted to happen was for it to happen.
"Tommy, no," Jude said. But it was too late. His lips were already on hers. She pushed him away and saw Kyle and Wally sitting in their car with their mouths wide open.
"What the hell? There's nothing keeping us from being together now, Jude," Tommy said.
"No, Tommy. I don't want to be with you," Jude said.
"But last year," Tommy began.
"Last year was different. Last year I hated Speed," Jude said, getting into the car.

"What the hell just happened?" Kyle asked.
"Tommy, I don't know. He got the wrong picture. He kissed me, I pushed him off," Jude said.
"Well, we found Speed," Kyle said.
"Really? Where was he?" Jude asked.
"He was on a drive. He expected you to be there recording the song, so he didn't think you'd notice. He said he felt stupid for getting mad over something so small and that he should never feel like he'd loose you to Tommy. And we're like well we're going to get her now and he's like okay he'll be right there," Wally said.
"And where is he now?" Jude asked.
"He pulled up the same time we did, and he drove off when he saw Tommy kiss you," Kyle said.
"No," Jude choked out before bursting into tears.
"This is not good," Wally said.
"I'm gonna call him," Kyle said, picking up his phone. He tried four times and Speed wouldn't answer.
"Hey, Wally I got a text, it's probably from him. Look at it for me?" Kyle said.
"It says 'I know why you're calling, and frankly, I could care less about what her explanation is. I don't want to talk to anyone. Especially her.'" Wally read. Jude cried even harder.
When they got to the apartment, they saw that Jude's car was downstairs. Jude ran upstairs, expecting to see Speed in his room. All she saw were her car keys. She noticed he took everything that had some sort of importance to him.
"Everything's pretty much gone," she said.
"What'd he take?" Kyle asked.
"Everything that has some sort of meaning," Jude said.
"Did, he take that picture of you two that he keeps on his nightstand?" Wally asked.
"Yeah, if he took that, he still cares. That's like, a sign of hope," Kyle said. Jude rushed into Speed's room and saw that not only was the picture still there, but the frame was broken and the picture was torn into pieces.
"I need to find him," Jude said.
"If we find out anything, we'll call you," Wally said.
"Alright. I'll see you guys, when I find him," Jude said.
The first place she tried was his house. That's where he went the last time, and that was the only place where he could stay at night.
"Hey, is Speed home?" Jude asked his mom.
"Vincent's not here, have you checked his place Judith?" his mom said. Jude realized she didn't know or need to know that her son was missing.
"No, I haven't. I'll go check there now," Jude said.
"Alright. If he stops by, I'll tell him to call," she said as Jude left. By midnight, Jude still hadn't found him.
"Jude, come back. You'll never find him this time of night," Kyle said.
"I have to. I need to find him, and make things right between us," Jude said.
"But its dark out, and I'm sure you're tired," he said.
"I'll get me a Monster or something, I don't care. I'm not stopping until I find him," Jude said.
"Alright, but call if you need anything. One of us will answer," Kyle said, hanging up.
"Maybe if we call him and pretend we've lost her, he'll get worried and try to find her," Wally said.
"That's stupid enough to just might work," Kyle said, dialing Spiederman's number.
"Hello?" Speed said.
"Dude, are you with Jude?" Kyle asked.
"Why would I be with her?" Speed asked.
"She went looking for you about seven hours ago, and we haven't heard from her in about five," Kyle said.
"Why don't you call Tommy," Speed said.
"Dude, why do you have to be so fucking stupid sometimes? You're so hotheaded that you just took off without an explanation from her or anything. Jude's been gone for seven hours looking for you, we have no clue if she's even safe right now. All we know is she isn't stopping until she finds you," Kyle said.
"How is this my fault? She wanted to have Tommy produce the track. She was the one who I saw kissing Tommy. She's the one who's been in love with Tommy Q ever since his days in Boyz Attack. She's the one who cheated on me. So what, did I force her lips upon Tommy's? I didn't think so. Don't you try and put the blame on me when you know good and well this is all her fault," Speed said.
"If you would've stopped and talked to her instead of rushing off, you would've seen her tell Tommy that she doesn't wanna be with him, that all she wants is you," Kyle said.
"Come on Vincent, get off the phone," a girl's voice said.
"Who's that?" Kyle asked.
"I gotta go," Speed said, hanging up.
"He's gonna do something stupid," Kyle said.
"I hope she finds him before they both do something stupid," Wally said.
It was almost two o'clock and Jude was fighting to stay awake. She wanted so badly to fall asleep, but she wanted to be with Speed even more.
She would've hit a pole if her phone hadn't rang.
"Hello?" she mumbled.
"Jude, where are you?" someone asked. She was so tired that she couldn't figure out who it was.
"I don't even know anymore," she said, pulling over.
"Please, don't drive anymore. You sound tired," he said.
"I don't care. I'm gonna find Speed," she said. She heard a sigh.
"Look, pull over, wherever you are, and drive home in the morning. It's late and its dark and I don't want anything to happen to you," he said.
"But I have to find him. I need to," she said, silently crying.
"Are you crying?" he asked.
"No," she cried.
"Jude, you don't need to be driving while you're tired and crying," he said.
"Do you really think I care?" she cried.
"But if something happens," he started.
"I don't even know why I'm doing this. There's no hope, remember. He trashed the picture," she cried. He sighed again.
"Just, go to sleep. And go home in the morning," he said.
"No! I'm not going to stop looking for him," she yelled, hanging up. She put the car in drive and drove off again. She drove to an empty parking lot and locked her doors. She climbed into the back seat and cried herself to sleep.
"Where'd you go, Vin?" the girl from earlier asked.
"I had to make a phone call. Look, can I take your car?" he asked.
"What for?" she asked.
"Jude's been out all night, looking for me, she doesn't know where she is, and she won't stop until she finds me. I'm pretty sure she's on the verge of passing out or something, because she didn't even know it was me on the phone," Speed said.
"Alright. You're lucky I love you," she said.
"Yes, and not just because our moms are sisters," he said, laughing.
"Of course not. I hope everything works out Vin," she said, hugging him.
"I hope so too. I'll bring your car back tomorrow. Later Emily," he said, leaving. Now it was his turn to do the looking.
