CHAPTER FIVE
A:N///Thanks for all the reading and reviewing, I know not a real lot of action yet, hope you'll stick it out…I promise it will get better! Thanks again!
Jude didn't have to help the boys but she was afraid of what she might do if she kept talking to Tommy. It was wrong to like someone that young but would it have mattered if he was eighteen and in college??? But he's not he's 16 and in 10th grade. How stupid of me!!!! If people weren't looking at her she probably would have hit herself in the head. Like that really would take all these thoughts out of my head.
I turned around looking for 'Kat' really looking for Tommy. I was right a whole bunch of girls where surrounding him. What was this feeling, Jealousy the feeling I cant be one of them the fact that I care that it isn't right, something has got to be wrong with me.
I turned back around grabbed an amp and practically threw it into the back of Spied's Van. "Hey Dude, easy on the hardware, what's got your panties in a bunch."
I turned to him and frowned then said in a stern voice, "Nothing Spied, I'm going to find Kat."
"Yeah whatever Dude." I just rolled my eye's and walked off in search of Kat. I found her and Jamie in a large booth talking.
I sat down and said, "After this how about everyone comes to my apartment, we could all hang out, or do you guys have to go back tonight?"
"No where all good the boys have to be home before five tomorrow. But other than that where cool."
I winced when she said the word boys, but she didn't seem to notice. "That's cool, we find out in an hour who the three bands are to compete at the festable and the one who wins at the festable will be opening up for Three Days Grace. I'm trying not to get my hopes up."
"Jude you know your going to win, and what a great idea to bring Tommy up there he's so cute the girls went for it."
"Yeah when I asked to use his song, he told me that would be so exciting, so it dawned on me that he's never performed before, so what a better crowed for your first time."
"That was really nice of you." They all danced and chatted until the end where they announced the three bands, SME and Jude where on stage with nine other bands they finally said, "And are lucky three bands tonight will be….Smittsmitten…Kitty Kats…and Jude and SME!" Everyone was shouting and jumping up and down. It took about another twenty minutes before they finally got out of there and headed to her apartment.
All eight of them piled into her one-bedroom apartment. Jude pulled out a CD and said, "You lucky bunch will be the first to hear a complete CD of mine." She popped it into her stereo and they all started to dance around. Jude plopped down on her sofa and to her surprise Tommy sat next to her, a little to close actually. "You where really great tonight, and thank you so much, I've never had so much fun in my life."
"Your welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself Tommy." He looked at her and smiled ruffled her blond bangs and said, "Yeah I enjoyed myself."
She straightened her bangs and said, "You want something to drink?"
"Sure, do you have any coke?"
"Sure, I'll be right back." Jude walked into the kitchen to get the coke and her water when she turned Tommy was standing right behind her. She would have backed up but her pride made her stand still. He shoved the refrigerator door shut and started to walk closer to her, her pride be damned she moved back as he forwarded. She felt her back hit the refrigerator, his hand went up to her cheek. With the back of his fingers he brushed a strand out of her face. She could tell he was going to lean into a kiss. Her head fogged over and she didn't stop him. His lips locked with hers in a slow passionate kiss. Something in her head snapped she put her hand on his chest and slightly pushed him away moved her head to the side and said, "Tommy your sixteen."
His hand fell from her face and he grabbed the coke she was carrying and went back into the living room with a frown on his face. He sat down next to Kwest, he looked at him and Tommy just shook his head. Jude was standing by the sink when Kat walked in and asked, "Hey Jude, is there something going on between you and Tommy?"
"No."
"Just No, not an explanation."
"Don't go there Kat I know he's too young for me."
"But if he was eighteen?"
"Oh yeah," They both laughed and headed into the livingroom. What they didn't know was that Tommy was just about to go get Kwest a soda when he overheard there conversation. Tommy hid himself as they where coming out of the kitchen, so there was hope. She did like me, I just have to become her friend sooner or later, hopefully sooner.
It took a whole hour to get Jude alone again. "Hey Jude, I just wanted to tell you that I understand about the whole kitchen thing, I just hope we can still be friends."
"Sure, I would like that. Its always nice to have another musician around." Tommy smiled and thought sooner or later she will be mine.
