Disclaimer: I own the storyline and any characters you don't recognize. I don't own the song Yes I Do it's by Rascal Flatts :D However in this story the song Yes I Do is just in slow acoustic instead of the original song :)

Yes...I really do

Tommy stood silently to the side of the stage. There she was. Singing her heart out. Tommy felt tears brimming in his eyes as he watched the blonde sing alone, her guitar and her. This wasn't part of the show, he knew, he could tell. She had something to say. From the looks of each person near him, that couldn't recognize him, he noticed they were wary. She'd done this at each show. She was looking for him in her own way.

Taking her pic she began strumming on the guitar, humming bars he hadn' t known he knew Tommy stared straight at Jude wondering if she could see him, wondering if she could feel him like he felt her.

-Do I cry in the night
Do I long to hold you tight
Do I wake wanting you
Yes...I do


Do I recall everyday
How you took my breath away
Do I remember loving you
Yes I do
Yes I do dream of all we had together
Guess it's true we lost it al forever
Do I pray anyway
Yes I do (2x)

Yes I do
Do I pray
Yes I do dream of all we had together
Yes I do-And yes I do...-

Jude finished singing, tears falling down her cheeks.Tommy began clapping without realizing it, his cover unknown to all who would care? Jude's ears perked up at the sound of the familiar clap that she was hearing. Everyone else, as per usual, was in awe at her song, With tears filling her eyes once again Jude scanned the audience searching for the lone clapper before her eyes rested on a hooded figure. The hands the only thing visible and Jude knew whose hands those were. Her heart began to wrench out. Why was he here? HE was HERE! She was excited and terrified at the same time. Jumping up she bowed, raised her hand and screamed a thank you to the audience in front of her before dashing off stage. He was here...

Tommy stood stalk still after she ran off stage, the audience erupting in extreme applause for the rockstar. Tommy knew what she was doing, he knew she's seen him. How could he be so foolish? He couldn't do this to her now, he couldnt' explain what had possessed him to disappear...not yet. Looking around him he searched for a way out any way out. That song had hit him hard, Jude had always recognized that they were in love...why had he been too afraid to do anything about it? Was it the jail sentence waiting for him or just the fear of getting so close and then losing her? He couldn't pinpoint it but he was sure it was the second one.
With exasperation he pulled his hood tighter over his eyes and searched around, pushing people out of the crowd...pushing out of the stadium. Jude couldn't see him, he wasn't ready to lose her again. He just wasn't ready for it yet. But it was too late as he reached the exit.
"TOMMY!" Jude cried, tears visible in her voice. He cringed realizing what was going to happen. She was going to run into his arms, into his life and that would be the end. He wouldn't be able to forget her again...ever.
"Excuse me?" He asked, deepening his voice as she grabbed his arm and twisted him around.
"Don't lie to me asshole," She seethed, ripping his hood off her hand flew to her mouth. Tommy looked up into Jude's eyes for the first time in months and without a second thought leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.

Jude accepted the kiss, putting her hand on his face and leaning in closer before ripping her face away. Her face was a mixture of anger and excitement. She'd found him. ... she'd found him...in Montana no less. Realizing again why she was right where she was she swung her hand back and backhanded him. His face contorted with confusion and hurt.
"what the..." He started but she stopped him.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!" She cried, tears were starting to form. "Why'd you leave me? Why why why why!" She was crying too hard to say anything as she hit his chest with each resounding why, everyone mesmerized by the sight that was Jude Harrison and Tom Quincy.
"Jude..." He started but she slapped him again before fainting into his arms. Jude was in his arms again, for now atleast. Sighing he picked her up and carried her backstage, terrified of the people that awaited him.
