A/N: This chapter switches from Jude's POV to Tommy's POV, and then back to Jude's POV, just so you don't get confused.

Chapter 10: Old Loves and Past Regrets

After we were done recording Tommy and I dealed with everyone watching us. Apparently Darius put us on a loud speaker and everyone at G-Major could hear. I should have figured that Darius and Georgia would pull something like that. When we left we couldn't believe what we saw.

"Shay, what are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Rebeka, I didn't know that you were coming." Tommy said.

"and Rebeka is…." I asked.

Tommy just looked at me and he gave me his I'll explain it to you later look. I knew not to fight him and that he would explain it in the mean time.

"Jude, Tommy. I guess you both know Shay, and this is Rebeka. She is our new recording artist. Jude, since you in the producing business now, you'll be working with Rebeka, and Tommy you will be working with Shay since you both are comfortable with one another." Darius said.

"Rebeka follow me into Studio B. Tommy, you and Shay can have Studio A today." I said. I turned and walked towards Studio B, and Rebeka followed me. I turned and gave Tommy one last glance.

I walked into the studio and began setting up the mic for Rebeka to use. She just stood there silent at first.

"So how do you know Tommy?" I asked her breaking the awkward silence between us.

"Oh, I knew Tommy from Montana, before his family moved to Italy."

"Oh. I thought he always lived there."

"No, they moved when he was like ten. I haven't seen him since this summer, when we hooked up."

"Oh yeah, when he was in Montana, taking care of Darius' daughter."

"Yeah, I met her. Stephanie is so sweet and adorable isn't she?"

"Yeah she is. She is so quiet when she is here."

"Yeah, she is." She said. "So how do you know Tommy?"

"I met Tommy when I won Instant Star. He was my producer and co-writer on some on my songs, he helps me compose. Then when I started recording this album I started producing and he is my co-producer." I said. I left out the part about us playing cat and mouse games for the last three and a half years.

"Wow. You both have a lot of history don't you?"

"Yeah, we do. He's my best friend, and we're together now."

"As in dating?"

"Yeah, before you say anything, Darius knows about us. He isn't to thrilled but, he deals with it." I said.

"Wow!" was all she had to say.

Meanwhile:

"You and Jude producing together now, you must have brought her a long way." Shay said to me while I was setting up the soundboard with his music.

"I have. She started producing herself; I just showed her the ropes so that she could get the hang of it better."

"I heard her new singles 'Unraveling' and 'Breakdown' I know she recorded it and produced it herself, and that takes true talent." He was right it did. "I also saw what happened between the two of you on that reality show that followed Jude around a few weeks ago."

"Yeah, that was a big misunderstanding and Jude and I have both out it past us, and moved onto making great music." I said to him.

"I figured. I saw the papers and the news about what's going on between the two of you. My uncle D can't be handling that well can he?"

"He actually is. He was just pissed off at the fact that Jude followed me half way around the world, and we didn't even try to hide ourselves from the media." I said. Shay was shocked.

"I guess. I still love her. It was a mistake doing what I did to her two years ago." He said that and I ha to control myself. I almost hit him.

"Listen to what I am about to say Shay, the only reason, and I mean only reason that I am producing you is because of Darius. If it were up to me, then you'd be on your own. I mean this, if you get in the way of me and Jude, I swear that it will be the last thing you ever do, and I mean ever." I said that to him. He knew I meant it and I did, I have waited too long for me and Jude to become an 'us', for someone like him to go and screw it all up.

"I feel you, and I understand, I wouldn't want to loose her either."

"Well you already did." I motioned for him to go into the sound booth and start recording. While he was singing I flashed back to Jude's party. That night was so vivid to me, it felt like it was only yesterday.

A Few Hours Later

When Tommy and I left G-Major, I was tired, drained, and hungry. I just wanted to go home with him and be left alone. I wanted him all to myself, since I hadn't seen him in almost seven hours. Rebeka was easy to work with but, something was fishy about her.

"Tommy, can we talk?" I asked while we were sitting on the couch.

"What about?"

"Rebeka, she said that she knew you from Montana, and that you hooked up with her again this summer."

"Yeah, I basically grew up with her. We lost touch when I moved to Italy and we talked a lot over to summer."

"Talked?" I asked curiously

"We went out a few times, we-."

"Tommy if you did I won't be mad."

"Jude, I didn't know how to forget about you. I called Rebeka and we went out a few times and then one thing led to another. I swear to you on my life that it was a mistake, something that I will always regret. After that, I recorded the entire summer. I was upset and when I wasn't dealing with Darius' mess, I was writing and recording. Everything I wrote was basically about you. I almost finished 'Frozen'. I was thinking about finishing it up and releasing it but, I decided not to. I didn't want to bring you back into my life that way."

"What are you talking about?"

"I didn't want to do 'Frozen' because you were the one who got it away from Darius. You risked you career for me, and I knew that you were mad at me, and I felt like if I went through with it then you'd forgive me for all the wrong reasons." He said this to me, and he was right, I would've forgiven him for all the wrong reasons.
