The One With The Bank Robbery ((Six Votes))

Full Summary: ((Follows Instant Star story line)) What happens when Tommy decided to return to his former life? Does he ever make it there? What happens if a bank robbery gets in the way; and the hostage they choose just happens to be Jude. ((Jommy))

Jude used to cry every night, who was she kidding? Day and night she cried over Tommy leaving. Leaving her. All alone. She finally decided that she was sick of all her friends and family not only reminding her of his leaving but practically rubbing it in her face every day. Okay, she knew they weren't doing that but they might as well have, they gave her sympathetic looks every time she saw them and they were constantly asking her if she was okay. UGH! She just wanted to get away from it all. And that's exactly what she was going to do. Her and Sadie were never close. SME was going solo so they didn't need her. Mason was still on tour but they would still keep in touch. Darius was only worried about money and she wasn't making any anyway. Mom was out in Europe and refused to come home 'too early'. Dad was playing house with Yvette and said Jude and Sadie could take care of themselves and didn't need a father anymore. The only person she thinks she would miss is Kwest. He was the only one who offered no sympathy but a shoulder to cry on, no questions asked. He didn't know what happened to Tom either. He was the only one she told about her leaving. No one else would know until she was gone. She even offered Kwest a free plane ticket to come with her, he said he would think about it. She said the offer was always there but she was leaving in a week whether he was coming or not. He just nodded understandingly and promised to keep him knowing about her leaving a secret.

Today was the day she was leaving.

She had all her stuff packed and it would be waiting for her in her new apartment in California when she got there. The last thing she needed to do was clear out her bank account. She was transferring all her money into an American account and taking out some cash for when she first got there and the plane ride and everything. She parked her car outside Canadian Cash ((the bank)) and got out holding an envelope with all her new account information.

Tommy…

I am going to finally go back. I finally get to tell Jude how I feel about her. My family matters are all cleared up, I have new confidence, I will finally get to ask her out. All I have to do is stop at the bank and pick up a check for Darius and I am back on the G-Major team, maybe even back as Jude's producer. God I hope she forgives me.

Tom pulled up in front of Canadian Cash and got out of his Viper. He was about 20 minutes away from seeing Jude again…or was it going to be sooner than that?

Jude walked up to the teller. "Hello, um I am moving to the states and I need to transfer my bank account to American money and into this account." She slid the envelope through the little slit under the glass separating the two.

Tom walked up to the teller frustrated. "Hey, the ATM outside doesn't work."

The woman apologized and wrote a note on a piece of paper saying 'Out Of Order, We Apologize For Any Inconvenience' She attached two pieces of tape to each side and excused herself from Tommy to go attach the sign. Tommy was growing frustrated. He wanted to get home already!

"Okay, Miss Harrison we have transferred all your money into American money but we will need to call the bank and just check this bank account and account number." Jude nodded and Tom suddenly heard her name, it registered. He turned his head and saw Jude Harrison at the teller next to him. His jaw dropped, but it was soon replaced with a smile. "Jude…?"

Jude turned toward him, her face was also pure shock, but unlike Tommy, it was never replaced with happiness. Jude opened her mouth to say something but all of a sudden the doors burst open and three guys dressed in all black and had guns ran in. "Everybody down! Everybody down!" One guy ran around with a brown bag telling everything to drop their phones and valuables in it. Jude took her star ring and quickly stuffed it under her bra strap, unnoticed of course. Tommy stared at her, fear obviously shown in his eyes. He feared for Jude, she was number one now meaning just about everyone knew her, what if something happened to her? The guy collecting the things walked over to Tommy, "Put your cell phone, PDA, beeper, wallet, anything you got in here…hey wait a minute…" As Tommy dumped all his stuff into the bag the guy turned around and shouted to the others, "Hey guys, we got a pretty boy in here. A washed up has been pretty boy…" The guys walked over to him and laughed. One guy spit on him but Tommy didn't dare budge.

Jude looked at them and gulped. The guy looked over at her, "Put you stuff in h-…wow. And we even got our own little Instant Star. Stand Up!" Jude did as she was told and the guy circled her.

The two other guys looked over at them and laughed. "Dude, wait awhile…" The guy with the bag walked behind Jude, grabbed her hips and pulled her back so that she fell against him, he thrusted his hips against her backside, "For later…" He whispered in her ear. She whimpered and he pushed her back down to the floor.

One of the people on the floor moved to talk to the person next to them. One of the guys raised their guns and pointed it at them, "Hey! I never said talk!" He grabbed the man by his collar and dragged him to behind the teller counter, throwing him back there. "I don't want to have to kill anybody! But I will!" He pointed the gun toward the ceiling and shot it. Everyone jumped and there were some whimpers.

The three guys told all the tellers to come out from behind the counter and they put them all in a corner. Then they grouped the men in another corner, women and children in another. Jude was walking over where the women were supposed to go but the one guy stopped her. "Oh no, not you honey."

"Sam! Let her go!"

"Josh! Let me take care of it…(he turned back to Jude and smirked) or take care of her…"

The third guy walked over to Jude and Sam, obviously the leader of the group. "Sam, you want her so bad? Or you just wanna make headline, cause we are already doing that…" The leader pointed to the clear glass doors where there were innocent people, police, and reporters.

Sam looked up at the leader, "Oh, I want the headlines, but I also wanna claim this little bitch. Why, you want a turn Aiden?"

Aiden shook his head, "No. You go have fun…" He said sarcastically. Sam dragged Jude into a back room where her cries could still be heard. Suddenly Sam burst through the doors where he had just went in, "The whore slapped me and kicked me in my dick!"

Aiden rolled his eyes and turned to Josh, "Watch them…" Aiden and Sam walked back into the back room.

Tommy stood. No one touched his girl. He was about to head toward the room Josh pointed his gun at him. "Wh-where do you think your going?" He was obviously the youngest one in the group. Suddenly the doors swung open again and Jude flew out, landing on her side. Everyone in the room gasped as she cried and held her side. Under her skirt blood dripped down her leg and her shirt was ripped. Sam came out with an arrogant look on his face and Aiden came out looking disgusted. Jude cried in the middle of the floor, rolling back and forth holding her side where not only had she landed, but when they had kicked her.

Tommy looked at Josh and whispered, "I love her. Please let me help her…" Josh nodded and let Tommy pass.

Tommy immediately ran over to Jude and kneeled down next to her. "Jude…" He cupped her cheek but she refused to open her eyes. They were screwed shut, trying to stop the pain that she felt.

Sam was outraged, "Josh! What the hell?! Hey Quincy! Get back to your corner!"

Tommy turned around, more outraged then ever. "You wanna shoot me go ahead! C'mon do it!" No one moved. Sam finally raised his gun toward Tommy but Aiden stepped in his way. "Sam, put the gun down…"

"No, that son of a bitch thinks that he can just trash mouth me like that. He doesn't think I'll do it, well I'll show him, now move Aiden." Aiden didn't budge. "Now that you roughed up our little princess we need another valuable hostage so we can get the money. That is why we are here. Money. Quincy is our ticket out. So get over your little Instant Star fantasy. It's over. Now go get the cash." Aiden ordered. Sam nodded with clenched teeth and stalked off.

Jude finally opened her eyes and saw Tommy. He cupped her cheek and she flinched, they had hit her there too. Tommy picked her up bridal style and started walking toward the doors. Aiden yelled after them. "Where the hell do you think you are going?!"

"She needs help! I am taking her out of here. Like I said before, you wanna shoot me? Shoot me! I don't care! She needs help!"

Tommy continued to walk toward the door but Aiden once again stopped him, "I'll take her out, she does need help but we need you." Tommy shook his head, "Like she's gonna let you touch her, hell I'm not gonna let you touch her."

Aiden grabbed Tommy's shirt. "You step out that door and you die…"

Tommy nodded but continued out the door none the less. This time Josh stopped them. "I'll walk out with them; make sure he comes back inside…"

Aiden nodded and sent Josh walking right behind Tommy. The police made a large circle around them, "Put the girl down!" One officer with a megaphone yelled.

Tommy looked at them all, "She needs help!"

Josh spoke up, showing his gun to them all, "There are two other guys inside with guns and a whole bunch of hostages! One gun fires besides mine and you are going to be planning a whole bunch of funerals for innocent people." The police immediately dropped their weapons. Josh looked around conceded. "That's right now back up!" The police did so. "Now I want a paramedic and a paramedic only to come get the girl and that's it!"

A man in a white uniform dragging a stretcher behind him ran up to the three. Tommy placed Jude on the stretched and kissed her forehead, before getting yanked away by Josh. Jude held onto his hand for as long as possible. "Tommy!" She cried.

Tommy walked back into the bank with Josh. Aiden smiled as they walked back in, "Good job Josh. Now go help Sam carry the cash out the back." Josh nodded and roughly pushed Tommy who fell to the ground.

Aiden smiled and walked over to him and kneeled down, "You must really love her. That or she is just that good of a lay, I mean Sam seemed to enjoy it."

That was it.

Tommy swung his clenched fist and hit Aiden right across the face. Aiden just laughed, he put a hand to his cheek, "So I guess its love then…" Aiden stood up again and looked around at the hostages who looked at him in fear. He just laughed evilly.

Sam and Josh emerged from the back rooms and smiled at Aiden. "Alright boss, the cash is all in the trash bins. Allen can come pick it up during his next shift which is in 4 hours so we got about an hour to get out so the bank will be clear again for the sift."

Aiden nodded at Sam. Alright then, let them go…" Sam smiled and turned around to face the whole main room of the bank. "Okay guys! Everybody UP!" Everyone did as they were told. Aiden smiled, "Thanks you everyone, you have been a wonderful audience. You are free to go."

No one moved an inch.

"That means you can go."

Everyone ran out the door and Sam and Josh ran after them, trying to stay hidden in the crowd. Aiden grabbed Tommy roughly by the arm and dragged him outside behind the group. Aiden rested his gun on Tommy's shoulder and aimed it at the crown and the police, using Tommy as a protective shield Aiden moved toward an SUV. Where Sam and Josh were subtly waiting. No one had noticed them, their plan had worked. Jude shot up from the ambulance's back step where she was waiting. She stared. "Tommy!" She yelled, he looked at her. At least he was still alight…for now.

Suddenly a gun fired.

Everyone turned around and looked. A few policemen had their guns raised but none of them fired it. Jude looked at Tommy who wasn't looking back anymore. Both Tommy and Aiden fell to the ground Jude screamed. Tommy's body started rolling down the walk up but he seemed unconscious. Aiden didn't move at all.

A man emerged from inside the bank. It was the man who started talking to the other person and got thrown behind the teller's desk, they had forgotten about him. He took the gun in his hand and threw it on Aiden's unmoving body and then spit on him. A few of the policemen walked over to him and shook his hand. Then the man pulled out his wallet, or what they thought was a wallet, it was really his badge. He was a police officer too.

Jude looked over as she heard a car peel away. She saw the SUV trying to make a subtle exit but it didn't work, there were 6 squad cars tailing their asses within seconds.

Jude looked back over at Tommy. The paramedics were already running over to him. Suddenly Jude saw his head rise. She heard him groan. The paramedic leaned down and started talking to him, Jude saw him nod something and then, shake his head. The paramedic helped Tom stand up. Tommy threw his arm over the paramedics shoulder to help him walk. He looked up and met Jude's eyes and smiled.

He was alright.

Okay…this is the only chapter for this story. And next we have The One With All The Partying.
