"What?" She asks. "Nothing." Tommy says. She looks at him and smiles. She scoots closer to him and looks at him. They both lean forward at the same time, never taking their eyes off of each other. They were so close that Jude could smell the pizza scent on Tommy's breath. Their hearts start beating faster, wondering if and who was going to initiate the kiss this time. Right when they are about to close the little bit of space between them they hear a knock on the door.

Tommy sighs as he moves away from Jude's face. He stands up and walks over to his door, opening it, revealing Speed. Tommy sighs again as he lets Speed into his room. "What do you want Spiederman?" Jude asks. "Dude, you two took all the good food in here." Speed says as he looks at the bag of items.

"You have four bags of chips in there." Jude says. "So. You two have all the good snacks." Speed says as he reaches for the Twizzler bag. Tommy grabs his arm and looks at him. "Don't even think about it, Vincent." Tommy says as he pulls Speed's arm away from the bag. Jude laughs lightly.

"Well then can we have the rice krispy treats?" Speed asks. "Are you kidding me. You may be 16 but you act like a kid. I'm not going to give you more sugar so you will be running around and chasing each other even more." Tommy says. Speed rolls his eyes.

"Dude I'm not that bad." Speed argues. Tommy sighs. "Just take whatever you want and get out." He says. Speed smiles and looks into the bag. He sees the pizza boxes and takes a couple. "Oh no you don't." Jude says as she grabs the pizza boxes from his hand.

"You said you wanted snacks so you take the snacks. Not the pizza." She says. Tommy chuckles as he sits back on his bed, wrapping up in the blanket. "Just one slice?" Speed asks. "No. Do you really think I'm going to let you have a slice of my pizza when you wouldn't even go get it for me?" She asks him. "But it was cold outside." Speed says.

"So. Tommy still walked in the coldness to get it for me." Jude replies. Speed sighs and grabs the rice krispy treats and the honey buns. "Thanks." He says before walking towards the door. He stops and turns around and smirks at the two of them. "Have fun." He says as he closes the door.

"What was the attraction to him again?" Tommy asks. "It was a performing thing. I like him when he is performing but when he is off stage he is…not so likeable." Jude says. Tommy nods his head, reaching for his slice of pizza. "I hate the fact that I'm actually going to have to spend a lot of time with him later and tomorrow." Tommy mumbles.

"What are you talking about?" Jude asks. "I just need to talk to them about something." Tommy says. "Can I be in the room?" Jude asks him. "Nope." Tommy says before he takes a bite of his pizza. "Well if I can't be in the room then that means the conversation is going to be about me." Jude says. Tommy smiles at her.

"You are smart, Harrison." Tommy says sarcastically. Jude laughs and hits him in the shoulder. Tommy laughs with her then takes another bite out of his pizza. Jude looks on the floor and sees his notebook. She glances at him before reaching down and grabbing it. Tommy quickly takes it away from her and puts it behind his back.

"That's not fair, Tommy. You get to read all of my songs." Jude says. "I'm your producer." Tommy laughs. "That's besides the point." Jude says. "You will get to hear it when it is done. I promise." Tommy says. "I'm going to hold you to that." She says. Tommy smiles. "Fine." He replies. "Can I at least get a few hints?" Jude asks. Tommy thinks about it.

"Sure. The first hint is…it's about you." Tommy says. "I already knew that, Quincy." Jude says with a smile. Tommy chuckles. "Okay and the second hint is…you will like it." Tommy says. "What? That's not a hint." Jude says. Tommy laughs. "I'm sorry but that's all I could think of." Tommy says.

"Who knew you were so personal about your songs." Jude says. "I'm not really. It's just this particular song. I'm putting a lot of thought and emotion into it." He says quietly. "So it's going to be like my songs, only less angry." Jude says. "Yeah, for the most part." Tommy replies.

"Why did you go out and get me this?" Jude asks. "You said you wanted it." Tommy replies. "I also said I wanted you to stop being a perfectionist but have you stopped? No." She says with a grin. Tommy chuckles. "Hey I only give you the things I can give you." Tommy says.

"What other things can you give me?" Jude asks with a smile. "There are a lot of different answers to that question, Harrison." Tommy says with a smirk. "Most of them inappropriate?" Jude asks. "Oh yeah." Tommy replies. They both laugh as they start on their second slice of pizza. After ten minutes of talking, laughing and of course, flirting Tommy stands up.

"Now where are you going?" Jude asks as she looks up at him. "I got to talk to SME about something." Tommy says. "Now?" Jude asks. "Yeah, I want to get this over with." Tommy says. "So that means I can't go with you right." Jude says. "Yep." Tommy replies as he walks out the door. Jude sighs and lies down on his bed. She notices that he left his notebook. She grins and grabs it, opening it.

Tommy walks back into the room a few seconds later and sees Jude flipping through the pages. He shakes his head and smiles as he grabs it from her. "I told you not to read it." Tommy says. "When I have I ever listened to you, Quincy?" Jude asks. "Never." Tommy replies. "My point exactly." Jude says.

Tommy shakes his head and smiles as he exits the room again. Jude puts her head on his pillow and smells the scent of his shampoo. She smiles and closes her eyes and drifts off to sleep, dreaming about Tommy.

Tommy walks into the front of the bus and looks at Speed, Wally and Kyle. They were just sitting around eating. Speed looks at Tommy and smiles. "Dude, you're done already?" He asks. "I guess you aren't a sex god after all." Wally says with a smirk. "Shut up." Tommy says. He tosses Speed his notebook that was turned to the page of his new song.

"Read it." Tommy says as he flops down on the couch. Speed continues to eat his bag of chips as he reads the lyrics. When he is done he looks up at Tommy. "This is for Jude isn't it?" He asks. "Yeah." Tommy replies. "She's gonna love it." Speed says. "You think?" Tommy asks. "Yeah, dude." Speed replies.

"Let me read it." Kyle says. Speed tosses him the notebook. Kyle nods his head when he gets done reading it. "Yeah, she really is going to love it." Kyle says. "Good. That's why I'm here talking to you guys." Tommy says. "You want us to play the music for that song." Speed says.

"Exactly." Tommy says. "Okay. I'll go grab my guitar." Speed says. "I'll grab mine too." Wally says as he stands up and follows Speed to the back. "And I guess I'll just sit here and beat on the floor." Kyle says.

Tommy laughs. Speed and Wally return a few moments later with their guitars. "I'll start singing and you start playing." Tommy says. They all nod their heads and get ready to play. Tommy starts singing and the immediately play. He stops and shakes his head.

"Dude, we only played two chords." Speed says. "I know but I'm thinking that the drums should come in after my first word then guitars should come in after my second word." Tommy says. They all nod their head get ready to play again. Tommy begins to sing and they join in with playing.

A couple hours later, Tommy nods his head and waves his hand in the air, telling them to stop playing. "That sounded good." He says. "Just wait until we actually electrify it." Wally says. They all laugh a little. They see Tod come one the bus, smiling.

"I think the bus is fixed." Tod says. Speed jumps up. "You mean no more annoying wrenching noises!" he asks. Tod nods his head. Wally jumps up and gives Speed a high-five. Tommy looks at Kyle, who just smiles.

"So we will be able to make their concert tomorrow?" Tommy asks. "Yeah, we should be able to get there in time." Tod says as he walks up to the front and sits down. Tommy smiles and thanks God when he hears the bus start. Speed and Wally and Kyle start jumping around, expressing their joy.

"I last a whole two hours with you all." Tommy says. "I know and there were hardly any smart eleck comments." Kyle says. "I know. I think I'm going to go tell Jude the good news." He says as he starts to walk towards the hallway. "Yeah you are probably going to help her 'celebrate' too." Wally adds. SME laughs and give each other high-fives. Tommy sighs as he walks down the hall.

He goes into Jude's room and sees that she isn't in there so he figures she is in his room. He opens his door and sees her lying in his bad, fast asleep. He smiles as he walks over to her and sits down on the bed. He brushes a loose strand of hair out of her face. Jude opens her eyes slowly and looks at Tommy and smiles.

"Hey, girl." He says. "Hey." She whispers. "The bus is fixed." Tommy says. Jude looks around and notices that they were moving again. She smiles widely. "So that means we can make it to our concert tomorrow?" She asks. "Yeah." Tommy replies. Jude smiles and stretches.

"So how long did you last with Spiederman?" Jude asks him. "Two hours." Tommy replies. "Wow." Jude replies as she sits up. "You were right. Once he gets into music he isn't that hard to hang around with." Tommy says. "Told ya." Jude says with a smile. "So is the song finished?" She asks. "Not really. I still want to work out a couple of things but they were getting restless and tired so I just said it was enough for today." Tommy says.

Jude laughs. "They do get like that." Jude says. "I noticed." Tommy says, rolling his eyes. They hear a knock on the door. Tommy sighs. "What?" He asks. Speed opens the door and walks into the room. Tommy looks at him.

"I said what, not come in." Tommy says. Speed ignores him and begins to talk. "Dude, I just had an idea. I should have a guitar solo, like right before the bridge." Speed says. Tommy sighs. "You have got to be kidding me. I mentioned that thirty minutes ago and you said, "Dude it doesn't need a guitar solo."" Tommy mocks.

"Well that was because I was tired. Now I think it will be good to have a guitar solo." Speed says. "I'm so glad you think so now." Tommy mumbles sarcastically. "And we should have that acoustic thing going on too." Speed says. "Get out." Tommy says. Jude laughs as she watches Tommy push Speed out of the room.

He sighs and flops down on the bed. Jude scoots over so he has a little more room. "Is my bed comfortable?" Tommy asks. "Yeah, why do you ask?" Jude asks. "Because you fell asleep in it." He replies. Jude laughs. "That was an accident. I just put my head down on the pillow and went to sleep." She says.

"Well I hope you know, we aren't sharing this bed tonight." Tommy says. "Why not?" Jude asks. "You kick, Harrison. And you are a cover hog. And not to mention, the type of sleeping together we're doing is not what I wanted." Tommy says. Jude laughs and hits him.

"Well maybe we should try the other sleeping together. That will take care of the kicking and cover hogging problem." Jude says. Tommy smiles at her and raises his eyebrows up and down. "I was joking." She says. Tommy sighs and frowns. Jude laughs and kisses him on the cheek.

"That's for not giving up, even though it's never going to happen." Jude says. Tommy laughs. "Never say never." Tommy says. Jude smiles at him then shakes her head. Tommy scoots up so that his head is on his pillow and closes his eyes. Jude looks out the window and sees that it is now dark outside. She looks back at Tommy, who still has his eyes closed and smiles as she scoots up on the bed a little, resting her head on the other pillow.

Tommy opens his eyes and looks at Jude, who was looking directly into his eyes also. He smiles and sees how beautiful her eyes were in the moonlight. "Why are you smiling at me?" Jude asks. "No reason. You are just really pretty." Tommy says quietly. Jude smiles at him. "Is this your attempt at getting me to sleep with you?" Jude asks.

"Maybe." Tommy says with a smile. "Is it working?" He asks. "I'm not going to say." Jude says with a smile. Tommy grins widely at her. "I would want you to be my first if we do have sex." Jude says quietly. "Really?" Tommy asks. "That surprises you?" Jude asks. "Yeah." Tommy says. Jude just smiles at him. "I want to be your first." Tommy says quietly. "No kidding?" Jude says sarcastically. Tommy laughs lightly.

"I make jokes about it but I'm serious. And when we do finally sleep together, I promise to do everything you want." Tommy says. "Confident, are we?" Jude asks. Tommy grins. "Yes." Tommy says. Jude smiles and rolls her eyes. "Okay you can leave now." Tommy says. "You really aren't going to let me sleep with you tonight?" Jude asks. Tommy smirks at that question.

"You know the type of sleep I mean." Jude says. "I know, and that is why you can't sleep here." Tommy says. Jude gives him a pouty face. "That face doesn't work on me, Harrison." He says. Jude continues to give him the look. He sighs and pulls the cover up over both of the. Jude smiles and snuggles up to him. Tommy closes his eyes and inhales the scent of her shampoo and drifts off to sleep.

The next morning Tommy wakes up and looks down at Jude and smiles. He shivers a little and gets goosebumps, noticing Jude had all the covers on her. He chuckles a little and stretches. Jude stirs in her sleep and opens her eyes. She looks at Tommy and smiles.

"Good morning cover hog." Tommy says. Jude looks down and sees that her body is completely covered with the covers and that Tommy's body didn't have any. She give him an innocent smile.

"Sorry." Jude says, smiling. "I'm used to it now, girl." Tommy says as he scratches his hair. Jude sits up and stretches. Tommy stands up and walks over to one of his suitcases and pulls out his toothbrush and toothpaste. Jude smiles at him as she watches him walk out of the room. She stands up and walks out of his room and into the hallway.

"Look whose coming out of Tommy's room." Wally says. "Was it a long night, dude?" Speed asks. "She's probably too tired and sore to tell." Kyle says. "Ha. Very funny." Jude says as she makes her way to the couch.

"Her hair is messed up." Kyle points out. "She's tired." Wally adds. "And she's not her usual mean morning person self." Speed says. "I think we all know what happened last night." Wally says. Jude rolls her eyes.

"Nothing like that. We just fell asleep." Jude says. "Yeah, after your animalistic sex." Wally says. Tommy steps into the hallway with his toothbrush still in his mouth. "I can hear you." He says. "Sorry, dude." Speed says. Tommy shakes his head then goes back into the bathroom.

He walks into the front of the bus a few minuets later and looks at SME. "Are you two ever going to grow up?" he asks them. "I am mature for my age." Speed says. They all look at him. "What? I am." He says. They all shake their heads. Tommy mumbles something underneath his breath but no one except Jude hears him. She laughs lightly.

"Um, Jude do you want the first shower?" Tommy asks. "Sure." She replies, standing up. Tommy waits until she goes into her room before he speaks. "This is going to be a practice time." Tommy says in a low voice. "Oh I get it. You just wanted to get rid of her." Kyle says.

"Yeah so we can practice this song. turns to Speed And so you can get your guitar solo down." Tommy says. Speed just smiles. Tommy is about to say something when he hears Jude's door open. They all stop and look at her. Jude looks towards them and gives them a questioningly look.

"What?" She asks. They all shake their heads. "Nothing." All four of them say. "Okay…" Jude says as she goes into the bathroom and closes the door. Tommy waits until he hears the shower running before he speaks. "After your guitar solo I'm going to come in with the acoustic then I'm going to sing the bridge, okay?" Tommy asks. "Okay, dude." Speed says as he grabs his guitar.

Thirty minutes later Tommy nods his head as they finish strumming the last chords to the song. "That was good." Tommy says. "Speed should sing back up." Wally says. "What are you talking about?" Tommy asks. Kyle throws his drumstick at Wally as Speed hits him on the head.

"Nothing." Speed says quickly. "Wally was just thinking out loud. He does that sometimes." Kyle says. "I don't buy that. What did he mean?" Tommy asks. "He didn't mean anything. Let's play it one more time." Speed says. "You mean you actually want to play it again?" Tommy asks.

"Yeah, I really like this song." He replies. "Okay…" Tommy says. Just as they begin to play the beginning chords they hear the bathroom door open. SME stops playing and Tommy stops talking as they look at Jude. Jude gives them another questioningly look.

"Why do you all keep staring at me? And why do you stop talking whenever I come near you all?" She asks. "No reason." They all say. Jude squints her eyes and gives them a weird look. "Can I talk to you for a second, Quincy?" She asks. "Uh, sure." Tommy responds.

He stands up and walks into her bedroom. Jude closes the door and puts her hands on her hips, looking at Tommy. "What?" He asks innocently. "Why are you all being so sneaky?" Jude asks. "We aren't being sneaky. We are just rehearsing the song." Tommy says. "Is it done?" Jude asks. "Yeah, it's done." Tommy replies. Jude smiles to herself. "Good." She says.

"Why is that good?" he asks her. "No reason. I was just saying good." Jude tries to cover up. Tommy gives her a weird look. "What are you and Speed and Wally and Kyle trying to hide from me?" Tommy asks. "Nothing." Jude replies. She looks in her mirror and frowns at the shirt she was wearing. She sighs and takes it off throwing it on the floor.

"What was wrong with that shirt?" Tommy asks. He was used to her changing clothes in front of him. "I didn't like the way it made me look." Jude says as she searches for another shirt. "It made you look the same, Harrison." Tommy says. "Exactly. Maybe I want to look different today." Jude says. Tommy shakes his head and sighs.

"What should I wear?" she asks him. He lies down on his bed and looks at her in her bra. He grins. "That." He says pointing to her bra. Jude rolls her eyes and returns to searching for a shirt. After changing a few more times, Jude finally settled for the shirt she had on first.

"You realize you are wearing the shirt you had on first, right?" Tommy asks. "I know." Jude says. "So you just wasted all that time searching for no reason?" He asks. "That's how girls usually do, Quincy. We change outfits five times then go back to the first one." She says with a smile.

"But that's pointless." Tommy says. "I know, but it's just the life of a girl." Jude says as she sits down on her bed. Tommy shakes his head and stands up. "You going to take a shower?" Jude asks. "Yeah, if there's any hot water left." He says. Jude looks up at him and smiles innocently. Tommy looks at her and sighs as he sits back down.

"I guess I'm just going to stay here and talk to you." Tommy says with a smile. "That seems like a good plan." Jude says, returning his smile. They both laugh and talk for the rest of the day.

By night time they feel the bus stop and know that they are at the stadium. Once all the equipment is off the bus and they are inside the stadium, Tommy goes into manager/producer mode and starts to get everything situated. After thirty minutes he walks over to Jude's dressing room and knocks a couple times on her door. Jude opens it and smiles when she sees him.

"Here you go." Tommy says as he hands her a bottle water. "Thank you." Jude says as she opens the cap. She takes a sip of the water and smiles. "Do you like what you have on?" Jude asks him. "Yeah…why?" Tommy asks. "Just making sure. You never know who you'll see…or who will see you." She says with a smile as she walks past him towards the curtains before the stage.

Speed and Wally and Kyle walk up behind her. "Are you ready?" Speed asks. "Yeah." Jude says. They all smile at each other then turn their heads and smile at Tommy. Tommy gives them a questioningly look and they just laugh and turn their heads back around. They jump up and down as they are being called onto the stage then run on.

Tommy immediately hears applause. He smiles as Jude begins to perform her first song. Once she gets done, instead of the band playing another song, Jude begins to talk. Tommy furies his eyebrows and wanders what she is doing. He listens closely as she talks to the audience.

"Did you guys like that first song?" Jude asks. They hear applause and clapping. "Good. This concert is going to be different from my other concerts. I have a special guest that I'm going to bring out onto the stage tonight. I want the girls to try and control their screams…please." She says. She walks off the stage, backstage to where Tommy was. Before he had a chance to argue, she grabs his hand and drags him onto the stage.

All the girls in the audience immediately start to scream at the top of their lungs. Tommy smiles and waves to everyone, then turns his head and gives Jude and SME an wait-till-after-this-concert look. Speed and Wally just smirk. Jude hands Tommy the extra microphone she had brought onstage with her. Tommy sighs before he turns it on, then looks back into the audience and gives them one of his famous smiles.

SME begins to play the music to Another Thin Line. Jude smiles at Tommy before she begins to sing. Towards the end of the concert, after Jude sings her last song, Jude starts to talk to the audience again. She walks over to the stool and grabs her bottle water and takes a sip.

"Did you guys enjoy the concert?" She asks. They hear a big roar of applause and screams. "Did you all like the fact that Lil Tommy Q performed with me?" Jude asks. She looks at Tommy, was glaring at her, and giggles. Speed and wall start to laugh.

"Well we have one more song to perform." Jude says. Tommy gives her a weird look. "Actually, Tommy has one more song to perform." Speed says into the microphone. Tommy mouths 'Wait until this is over' to Speed then turns his head to the audience, that was now applauding. He gives them his famous smile again and nods his head. Jude smiles as she walks past him, towards the stool. She takes a seat on the stool and listens as SME begins to play Tommy's song.

"I dedicate this song to a very special someone in my life." Tommy says into the microphone as he puts it on the stand. He glances at Jude and smiles. Jude smiles back. "This song comes from the bottom of my heart." Tommy says. He hears all the girls in the audience go "aww." He smiles at them and winks at one girl in the front row. She smiles widely.

"Looking back at me I see
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in
Things I cannnot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong
Like a drug that gets me high

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold to you

Tommy makes eye contact with her. Jude smiles and looks back at him.

And I'm sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You could see me stand on my own again
Cause now i can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high
I never meant to be so cold

Tommy takes the microphone off of the stand and walks backwards a little bit towards the acoustic guitar.

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold to you

He picks it up and begins to play a few chords. Speed smiles and begins to play his solo part. Tommy walks back to the microphone stand. He turns his head and looks directly at Jude. Jude could see all of his emotions in his eyes as he starts to sing the next part, Speed singing back up.

I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me theres just no hope
I never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold to you

Tommy backs away from the microphone and looks at Jude, who has tears in her eyes. Tommy turns his head to the audience that was now clapping and jumping up and down. Tommy walks over to Jude and grabs her hands and leads her to the middle of the stage.

He stands in behind her, putting his hands around her waist. "Did you guys like my song?" Tommy asks. The audience screams and applauds. "Thank you. I wrote that song about a very special person in my life and I hope that she forgives me sometime soon." Tommy says the last sentence as he glances at Jude. Jude looks up at him and smiles. They audience says "aww" Speed and Wally smirk at each other. s

"I think that person will forgive you sometime soon." Jude says. Tommy smiles down at her. "Thank you all for coming out!" Jude says as she turns off the microphone. Speed and Wally take off their guitars and Kyle hits the drums a few more times before he gets off the set and walks off stage.

As they get backstage Tommy turns around and looks at Jude. Before he has a chance to say anything Jude gives him a big hug. Tommy laughs and wraps his arms around her, stumbling back a little. "So I take it you like it?" Tommy asks. Jude just smiles and pushes him into her dressing room.

Speed, Kyle and Wally look at each other and smile, giving each other a high five.

Okay there is the second update for today, although technically it is another day. Lol. I tried but I had to help my mom then clean the whole house. But I still got another one out. I don't own Cold by Crossfade, as you all know. Anyways please tell me what you think.
