Jude closed her phone and her eyes. 'You're not going to get sucked in again,' she told herself. 'You're just here to say hi, and that's it. No strings attatched. Just a normal friend to friend visit,' she thought. She opened her eyes and grabbed her guitar and started strumming. She hummed along and started liking the rhythm. She quickly grabbed her notebook out of her suitcase and started scribbling down words. She started playing and singing to it... But then it didn't work.. So she angrily scribbled it all out. She sighed and threw her pen across the room.

"Whoa..." said a voice from behind her. "Angry much?"

Jude whirled around to see Jamie standing in the doorway. A smile grew across her face. She jumped up from the couch and ran to him, "Jamie!" she said throwing her arms around his neck. "Oh my gosh, Jamie. How are you? I've missed you!" she said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Jamie smiled and returned the bear hug by picking her up and swinging her around. "I'm great," he said. "Spied is still NBR's only artist, but we're on the rise..." He set her down and smiled, "How about you?" he asked.

Jude sighed, "Oh.. Don't ask..." she said. "Busy, is all I can say. And even though I'm taking time off, I'm still supposed to be busy. I have to write 5 new songs by the time I go back." she added. She sat down on the couch.

"And how long is that?" he asked her as he sat down on the arm of the couch.

Jude shrugged, "About a week," she said. "So not very long. Just enough time to catch up, and hang out." she said. She turned quickly to him, "How'd you know that I was here?" she asked quizzically.

Jamie smiled, "It's kind of hard not to notice something is going on when there are hundreds of screaming fans outside. Zeppelin and her curiosity was the one who actually looked."

"Jamie Andrews, famous for noting detail." she said sarcastically.

Jamie chuckled as the doorbell rang. Jude got up and walked to the door. When she opened the door she was utterly shocked at who was standing there. "Uh.. hi... Tommy."

Jude just stood at the door and stared. She wasn't ready to see him yet. She still had to prepare things in her mind to make sure that she wasn't going to fall again. This was such bad timing.

"Well are you going to let me in Harrison, or are you just going to stand there?" asked Tommy.

"Uh, I... uh..." Jude stammered. She knew she was standing there like an idiot, but she couldn't help it. It's not that she wasn't happy to see him. In fact she was overjoyed, but she just wanted to find him, instead of him finding her. She wasn't really prepared for Tommy right now. "Uh, yeah... Come in.. Come in." She said still shocked.

Tommy looked at her like she was insane, but proceeded to step in anyway. "Thanks." he said apprehensively. He looked up at Jamie, "Hey Andrews." he said.

Jamie gave Tommy a slight nod as he raised his eyebrow, "Yeah. Hey..." he said as he stood up from the couch and started walking towards the door. "I'll see ya later Jude." he said. He gave Tommy a last nod and walked out the door.

Jude watched Jamie leave, and when she turned away from the door, Tommy was still standing in front of her. So this is real she thought.

Tommy smiled at her, "So did I get a hug? Or are you just gonna look at me like I'm an alien?" he asked.

Jude smiled and walked towards him. She stood on her toes and wrapped her arms around his neck. The familiar scent of his hair product filled her lungs. She smiled and all the memories of the two of them flooded through her mind.

Tommy smiled and held Jude close never wanting to let her go. He smiled and pulled away a bit, "I missed you," he said as he moved a piece of hair from her face.

Jude smiled at him, "I missed you too. So much." she said truthfully. She hated to admit it, but she did. She leaned her forehead against his and stared into his eyes.

Jude smiled and squeezed Tommy a little tighter before letting go. She looked up at him with sad eyes and gave a weak smile.

Tommy returned the smile. He lifted his hand and gently rubbed her cheek.

She smiled at his touch, she loved being with him. But she knew that this wasn't right. She had to get out of his grip, because the longer she stayed in his arms, the weaker she was becoming.

He looked down at her, "Wanna go for a ride?" he asked. "Catch up?"

She looked up and nodded. Jude reached over onto the couch, grabbed her guitar and notebook, and followed Tommy outside to his car.

The sound of screaming fans reached her ears as she opened the door. But it quickly faded when she closed the door to his car. Tommy got in and they drove away.

They didn't speak at all until they got to their destination. Thoughts were running through Jude's head. Where is he taking me? Am I falling for him again? You're music, Jude. That's all you care about. You're just visiting, remember? she thought. She looked at Tommy and caught his eye. Instantly all those thoughts melted away. When she looked out the window, the only thought left was, I'm WEAK! After about an hour of driving Tommy finally slowed the car to a park.

Jude looked around. "Hey, I've been here before." She said more to herself than anyone else.

Tommy smiled and looked at her, "This is where we worked on 24 hours together, remember?" he asked.

She smiled as the memories filled her brain. She nodded slowly, "Yeah, I do... " she said quietly.

Tommy got out of the car and opened the door for her. Jude got out and walked along the dock with Tommy. They walked all the way to the end and sat down.

"So, how've you been?" asked Tommy.

Jude shrugged and told him about how busy she had been. She told him about how the only reason she was allowed to come was if she promised to have 5 songs written by the time she got back.

"Wow, tough gig," said Tommy.

Jude giggled a bit, "I guess. I really like it though." she said. "So what about you? What has Little Tommy Q been up to?"

Tommy shrugged, "Missing you." he said looking at her longingly.

Jude smiled, "Okay.. But seriously," she said.

Tommy nodded, "I'm being serious." he said. "I missed you since your last concert." he said.

She turned her head and looked at him. He looked sadder than ever. "Me too." she said quietly. She almost wished she hadn't. She wanted him to know how she felt, but she didn't want to get sucked into the Tommy vortex. She looked back out at the water and sighed. "So besides missing me, what have you been up to?" she asked.

"Eh, I've been producing Karma's album. She's been grouchy since-"

"Since she had to move into a TRAILER!" said Jude through giggles.

Tommy turned to her with a smile, "Yeah, you think it's funny, but you haven't had to be around her everyday." he said with a chuckle. "The other day, I asked her what song she wanted to do while she was eating salad, and she dumped it on my head and told me to quit nagging her."

Jude couldn't resist laughing at that. She could just see Tommy covered in salad standing there with a confused and shocked look on his face. "At least it wasn't a hot tub." she said with a smile.

Tommy laughed, "Yeah." He remembered that night. "Oh the craziness." he said. He looked at her, "We've been through a lot since the last time we were here." he said with a smile.

She looked up at him and nodded, "Yeah.. the good, the bad, the funny, the heartbreak." she said looking down at the water watching her feet swing over the edge. It was so easy being with Tommy when it was like this. Just laughing and remembering. But then someone always had to want the other. And it made things so difficult.

Tommy nodded, "And I don't regret a second of any of it." he said. He gently lifted her chin and slowly started to bring his lips to hers.
