A/n: Hey guys! So yeah I know I said I would post some this weekend but some crazy stuff that I can't even begin to explain happened so I'm really sorry and I will try to make it up to you guys this week. Hope you enjoy this chapter! I don't own anything from Instant Star except for this idea.Xoxo Lo

Jude didn't sleep at all that night. Her mind was wandering over everything that happened that night and she had no clue how she was suppose to face Tommy in 2 hours. The fact that she didn't sleep and was slightly hung over didn't help the situation. The only good thing that came out of it was she had a new song. She thought it was good enough to record as well as show Tommy how much he screwed up their relationship. The truth was Jude was terrified to face her producer after their little spectacle. She didn't know how to be around him anymore after she had admitted the one thing she never thought she could. She didn't even know what made her confess in the first place. It was probably the mix of alcohol and frustration.

Jude turned over in her bed and stared at the alarm clock willing for time to stop or better yet go back. Jude sighed and decided it was time to face the music and the man of her dreams.

Tommy's place

Beep beep beep, Tom's alarm rang out annoyingly. A very hung over Tom Quincy threw his pillow at the clock making it crash to the floor. He grunted a few obscenities and rolled onto his back. After he got home from Velocity he raided his liquor cabinet and found a bottle of Jack Daniels he saved for occasions such as last night. He managed to finish the entire bottle with ease as the night's events lingered in his mind. A few times he even picked up his phone to call he but couldn't quite make out the numbers in order to make the call. He managed to take off his shirt and pants before passing out in a drunken sleep.

And now it was an hour until he had to face the one girl who could bring him to his knees. Part of him just wanted to stay in his darkened bedroom for the rest of the day and not face reality. At this point it was sounding really good. But he knew he couldn't avoid her forever seeing as they were a big part in each other's lives.

Tommy groaned as he pushed himself off the bed. He sat up with his legs over the side and rubbed his face with his hands. His head was throbbing in an inhumane way and his stomach was in knots. I pretty much deserve it, he thought as he made his way to the master bathroom to shower and vomit.

Back at Jude's

She was late to say the least. She had showered and hadn't even bothered to blow dry her hair. She stood in front of her vanity and rubbed her bloodshot eyes from crying most of the night. She really didn't care what she looked like at this point. She was wearing a ripped denim skirt with a plain black shirt. She threw on her trusty converse and grabbed her extra strong coffee and her keys. She put on her Gucci sunglasses and opened her apartment door to see Braden standing there with his arm up like he was about to knock.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Jude asked, surprised to see him after her little episode the night before.

"Well I have a meeting with Darius and I figured you would be in no shape to drive so I figured I would offer you a ride." He rambled nervously as he shoved his hands in his pockets.

Braden was still really confused about his feelings for Jude and he unconsciously drove to her apartment trying to come up with a decent excuse for showing up on her doorstep. Then when Sadie had called and told him that Darius wanted to meet with him that morning it was the perfect excuse.

"Yeah that would be great, I kind of don't want to show up to the studio alone anyway." She said sheepishly while slipping into her sandals. Braden smiled and helped Jude with her guitar case as she locked her door. They made their way to his car and drove off to G-Major.

There was an awkward silence in the air as they both thought about their own problems. Jude broke the silence first by asking Braden what his meeting with Darius was about. Braden was happy for the distraction and told her how Darius wanted to listen to his demo an there being a possibility he would get signed.

"That's awesome Brade! I'm so happy for you." Jude exclaimed excitedly and squeezed his hand.

Braden smiled and looked down briefly at where their hands were resting. He took a deep breath and put his right hand back on the wheel and gripped the steering wheel tightly. Much sooner than they both expected they were in the G-Major parking lot and Braden turned off the engine. They got out and headed for the double-glass doors.

Braden was about to walk in when he noticed Jude wasn't beside him. He looked back and she stood frozen looking over at a particular blue Viper. Braden walked back over to her and said her name softly. Jude snapped out of her gaze and looked up at Braden. Even through her dark sunglasses he could tell that she had started to cry. Without a word Braden pulled her in a reassuring embrace while rubbing her back.

"I can't go in there Brade, I can't face him." She managed to say in between her tears.

"Jude, I don't know what happened last night between you and Tom but I know how strong you are. You can do anything. Don't let him take that away from you."

Jude was so grateful for Braden's presence. It felt so good to be in his strong arms and hearing all the right words. She had never realized what a great guy he was until last night and the way he took her crap and always listened. He was absolutely perfect.

Jude stopped crying and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. Braden pulled her away from him and raised her chin with his finger.

"You ready Rock star?" he asked with a slight smile.

Jude laughed and smoothed out her hair, she nodded her head and grabbed onto Braden's hand intertwining their fingers. She would need the extra encouragement to walk into the studio. They opened the glass doors and Jude felt a search of newfound confidence go through her. She felt ready to face Tommy once and for all.

But all her strength went out the door the second she made eye contact with a pair of cool blue eyes.

Yes I'm evil I know but more will be coming soon and once again don't lose hope in Jude and Tommy cause there meant to be. Please R&R its so appreciated and it will brighten my day immensely. xoxo
