Chapter Two

Jude walked into Speed's bedroom. He was packing his suitcase. The past two months had flown by and he would be leaving for his tour in a few days. Jude knocked on the open door to get his attention.

"Hey." He stopped packing and walked over to give her a kiss.

"How's the packing going?" She asked, sitting on his unmade bed. She looked around the familiar room. It looked like a typical teenager's room, with the unmade bed, dirty laundry and posters adorning the walls. Speed glanced at the mess that was his room.

"It's going." He joked. Jude smiled warmly. He sat down next to her.

"So have you given anymore thought to my offer?" He asked. Jude nodded and stared into his dark blue eyes. She looked away and stood up.

"Speed, what am I going to do on tour with you? Carry your guitar case? Wait on you after a show with hugs and a kiss?" Speed shrugged, seeming to like the idea. Jude shook her head.

"I'm sorry but that's just not who I am! I can't be the doting girlfriend. I have my own dreams I want to accomplish. I know that it sucks, and I know that I'm gonna miss you like crazy, but I just can't give up my dreams to follow you around the country. I'm sorry." Speed looked down. Jude sighed, knowing that this was a pivotal moment in their relationship.

"I understand." He looked her in the eyes. "I should have known that you wouldn't come with me. I can't help if I love you and just want you near me at all times. Especially with all the time we're gonna have a part." Jude nodded.

"It's okay. I love you too. And it's not like I'm going to have nothing to do! I'm going to be starting college which will be an all new experience. And I even have a job lined up at the school radio station." Speed grinned.

"I'm glad that you're going to be okay." She frowned, sitting on his lap.

"I never said I would be okay. I'll deal though." She grinned and placed a loving kiss on his lips.

"Don't forget that I love you, okay?" Speed shook his head.

"That's nonsense! I would never forget that. Besides, I'll write and e-mail you every chance that I get, got it?" He said, leaning his forehead against hers. She smiled looking him in the eye.

A.N. yeah so I know that the past two chapters have been heavy Judermen's but the Tommy/Jude moments will be coming. This story is going to be heavy with the T/J moments since my story So You Wanna be a Star won't really have much Tommy in it. Please review!
