I can't really say hi to everyone and respond because I'm on a rush but I hope you like this. It's one of my favorite chapters. I decided I'm going to put some things in Jude's POV. It's not in this chapter but in future chatpers there will be. But it's still mostly Tommy's POV.

Chapter 10: More Than Enough

I take a step forward. This is going to become chaos. I just know it.

Tommy: Jude, this is my really old friend Jasmine. The little girl she's holding is…Stephanie.

Jude: Stephanie. You mean you're niece?

Jasmine: Niece? Now, you're ashamed of your own daughter.

Jude: Daughter!?

Uh-oh.

Jude: Daughter? Stephanie's your daughter?

Tommy: No Jude…

Jude: You lied to me? You fed me a stupid sob story and I fell for it.

Tommy: Jude…

Jude: I…I can't believe it. You're a father? You lied to me? Stephanie's your daughter?

Tommy: Jude!

Jude: What!?

Tommy: Steph is not my daughter.

Jasmine: She might as well be.

I turn to Jasmine (Jazz for short) and give her one of my looks.

Tommy: Why do you like to start trouble?

Jasmine: It's what I do best. But I really need to talk to you, James.

Tommy: Ok, about what?

Jazz looked at Jude and then at me. She put Stephanie down.

Jasmine: Steph, if Jude doesn't mind, would you like to play with her?

Stephanie nodded her head and ran towards Jude. Jude smiled and picked her up. She gave me a look saying that she was there if I needed to talk. I gratefully nodded as she took Stephanie to my office. Jasmine took my hand and led me to one of the sofas in the lobby. She sits down and I follow her action. She looks so sad. I wonder what's so important.

Tommy: Jazz, what's this all about? Why are you here in Canada with Stephanie?

Jasmine looked down at the floor as tears start to come to her eyes. I put my finger under her chin and lifted her head up so she would look at me. She collapsed in my arms. I try to comfort her, but I'm so confused.

Tommy: Shh, it's ok. Just tell me what happened. What's wrong?

She pulled away and looked me in the eye.

Jasmine: Y-your parents.

My parents? I started to panic a little bit.

Tommy: What about them?

She starts to cry harder and shook her head. Please, please let them be, ok.

Tommy: Jasmine, please tell me.

Jasmine: They were driving home from the store. They were only a couple minutes away from my house to pick up Stephanie. Just a few more minutes and they would've made it.

Tommy: Jazz, I'm begging you, what happened?

Jasmine looked down again as sobs started to take over. She collapsed in my arms again.

Jasmine: James, a drunk driver ran a red light, and hit them. They…they died instantly.

No. No! I didn't hear that right. No, it can't be true! They're not dead!

Tommy: No. No! You're lying!

I get up abruptly and she looks at me in shock. She stands up as I run my hand through my hair.

Tommy: But…but I just saw them a couple of months ago. How…how could they just be gone?

Jasmine: I don't know James, but it's true. I'm so sorry.

Tommy: No, please, God, no!

Jasmine comes up to me and hugs me tightly. I start to cry uncontrollably as she holds me tighter. She starts to cry with me.

Tommy: Tell me this is a nightmare.

Jasmine: I wish it was.

Jasmine and I grew up together. She was like my little sister and my parents meant as much to her as they did to me. We were all like family. How could God do that? What the fuck is going on with my life? First I lose my brother, then Stephanie, then Jude, and now my parents? Why me? Why? What did I do to deserve this messed up life? I just wanted this to all be a dream. I wanted everything to be ok.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been about 2 hours. Jude, Jasmine, Stephanie, and I are in my apartment. Jasmine told Jude what happened and she comforted me. Jasmine and Steph are in my room right now as I talk to Jude alone.

Jude: I'm so sorry, Tommy.

Tommy: I just can't believe it. How could just be taken away from me like that?

Jude: I don't know, but what I do know is that you loved them very much. And I'm pretty sure they loved you too.

Tommy: Yea, they did. You know, when I told my dad I wanted a music career he was ecstatic but my mom, not so much. She thought it was going to ruin my life. She thought the music industry would destroy me. She wanted me to be a doctor, or a lawyer or something like that. But I didn't listen to her. I turned 18 and I went back to Montana to see them. My mom had tears in her eyes, because she was so happy to see me. Turns out she had every single article and picture from the time I went into BoyzAttack to the time I quit.

Jude: Wow. That's amazing. Can I ask you a question?

Tommy: Sure.

Jude: Why was Jasmine calling you James?

Man, do I hate that name.

Tommy: Remember that time at The Chrome Cat, when I told you my name wasn't Quincy?

Jude: Yea.

Tommy: I was adopted when I was really young. My real name is James Thomas La'Pora. When I was adopted it changed to Quincy. I never liked James, but that's what everyone called me. That is until I joined BoyzAttack. I told everyone to call me Tom and it stuck. But everyone who knew me before still calls me James.

Jude: So…James…

Tommy: Please Jude, I hate that name.

Jude: I'm sorry.

I start to think about my parents again. Tears well up in my eyes and I'm trying my damn hardest to keep them from falling but it isn't working. They were always there for me, and then they were taking away from me.

Jude: Tommy?

Tommy: It's not fair.

I start to cry harder. She hugs me and I bury my head at the side of her neck.

Jude: Shh, it's ok. It's going to be ok.

Tommy: It's just not fair.

Jude: Is there anything I can do?

Tommy: I just want my parents back. I just want them back!

Jude: It'll be alright. I'm here, and I'm not going to leave.

Tommy: Promise?

Jude: Swear it. I'll be right here. I'm here for you, always.

Tommy: Thank you, Jude.

Jude: You're welcome. You know I love you Tommy. Shh, I'm here.

I know that when she said 'I love you' it was only in a friend way. But it still made me feel 100 times better. We sat there until we both fell asleep. I wake up about one in the morning and find that my head is resting on Jude's stomach. Her hand is on my back, and she's lying on the couch with her head propped up on a pillow. I smile at her angelic face. I get up, careful not to wake her.

I feel so tired. I was about to sleep in my bed, until I found Jazz and Steph in my bed sleeping too. Another beautiful site before me. I smile at them and take the guest room. Good thing I don't have to work tomorrow. I'm glad Jude and Jazz are here though. I wouldn't be able to make it through without my two best friends.

The best Christmas present you can give me is some great reviews plesase!! Merry Christmas everybody. Have a wonderful holiday!!
