A/N: I am so, so sorry for making everybody wait so long. But you see my computer got a virus and I had to wait forever to get it fixed. And I would've used another computer it's just that I haven't had time. So again I'm really sorry. Please review!
Jude came back later that night, about 9:00, and saw Tommy waiting for her by the door.
"About time you got here," he said as she walked over to him.
"You're the one who told me 9 o'…" she said, but before she could finish he gently grabbed her arm and pulled her into a kiss.
"Let's go inside, okay," she nodded in a dazed sort of way as he led her inside. He took her to the booth they were in earlier today and closed the door. "So about your song earlier today…just, wow… I really don't know what to say."
"Well I was just singing the truth," Jude took a deep breath as she tried to tell him what she had been keeping to herself for about three years now. "Tommy there's something that I want to say." Tommy looked at her with his gorgeous, deep blue eyes. "I…I uh," she took a deep breath and said what needed to be said. "I think, I know….I love you," she finally said.
Tommy just stared at her for a moment as Jude thought the worst. Tommy was speechless. She loved him? 'Okay,' he thought as he tried to pull himself together.
"Jude I…"
"Never mind," she said as she shook her head. "I was just being stupid. I…"
"Jude just wait a minute," he said as he tried to figure out what to do. "I think, I think I love you too." Jude smiled.
"Really?" she said in shock.
"Yeah," he said as he pulled her closer and kissed her yet again. 'Of course I love her,' he thought to himself. 'I love her as much as I loved…' his thought stopped short and he suddenly pulled away.
"What's wrong?" Jude asked sensing him suddenly feeling nervous.
"Nothing, nothing, I just have to go now. I have to um…bye!" he said as he rushed out of the studio.
"Tommy wait…Tommy!" she yelled after him as he ran outside to his car. Jude sprinted after him and caught him just before he got in his car. "What- happened?" she said, out of breath, as she grabbed his arm.
"Jude let go," he said as he tried to pull his arm out of her tight grasp.
"Just tell me why the hell you just ran out on me like that?!"
"You have to understand," he said, not looking at her, "There are things about me that you don't know and wouldn't understand."
"Try to explain to me, I want to understand!"
"I'm sorry Jude," he said shaking his head. "I just don't want to relive what has already happened." And with that Jude let go of his arm as he got into his car and drove off.
-------------------------------------------
As Jude approached Tommy outside someone was listening to them. "About time you got here," they heard Tommy say as they snapped a picture. Then without warning Tommy pulled her in for a kiss and the spy got a perfect picture.
"This will look great on the front cover of the newspaper tomorrow," they said as they saw them going inside. Immediately they went around back and snuck in the backdoor. They walked silently along until they saw the two talking in a studio.
'I can't hear them…but I can still get pictures and make up a story for this! Oh am I a genius or what?!" The spy continued to take pictures and when Tommy burst through the studio door they couldn't have been happier.
As soon as Jude came chasing after Tommy the spy came up with a completely new story and headline: "A Breakup without Even Hooking Up, What?"
The spy went quickly back outside just in time to see Jude holding Tommy's arm and almost in tears. "Just tell me why the hell you just ran out on me like that?!" they heard Jude say as they continued to snap pictures. "I'm sorry Jude; I just don't want to relive what has already happened." Then Tommy got in his car and drove off as the spy was still snapping pictures.
"This is going to be great!" the spy said to themselves as they ran off to the newspaper printing building downtown.
-------------------------------------------
The next morning things only got worse. Jude walked in the studio and everyone around stopped to stare at her. Sadie, who saw she looked confused, walked over and handed her the newspaper. She read the headline and the paper fell out of her hands.
"Tommy's in studio A," her sister said before she walked off. Jude picked up the paper and walked hurriedly to find Tommy sitting where he always did. She slammed the door behind her and he turned around to look at her.
"I swear Tommy if you had anything to do with this…"
"You think I would do this? How shallow do you think I am?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?"
"Forget it," he said standing up. "Anyway how would I even get pictures of this? If you haven't noticed I was standing there right next to you in all of these."
"Okay fine, I believe you, but then what the heck is going on? Is there someone following us?"
"Jude, Tommy, step into my office," Darius said as he walked into the room. Jude and Tommy just barely glanced at each other as they followed Darius into his office.
"What is this all about?" he asked holding up that day's newspaper. Tommy and Jude both started talking at once. "One at a time," he said irritably. "Jude, what the heck is going on?"
"I have no clue whatsoever."
"Okay then, Tommy…what in the world were you two doing here so late! I thought I had told you to go home already Jude."
"She did go home, but I told her to meet me here later."
"Why? What was so important that you two had to sneak over here at night?" Jude and Tommy both remained silent. "Until you two figure out who took these pictures you are both suspended from G-Major."
"What?!" they said simultaneously.
"You heard me. I can't have these rumors floating around about my own employees. It would ruin my reputation as the manager here. So both of you get out!" he yelled as they both stood up and exited together.
"You know this is all your fault, Jude said as she closed the door behind them.
"How is this all my fault?" Tommy asked innocently.
"If you had never told me to come back that night these pictures would never have been taken," she said firmly. "And you would have never broken my heart," she said under her breath.
"What was that last part you just said?" he asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, anyway, now what do we do?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing."
"Great, well um..."
"I have an idea! We can go downtown to the building where they print the newspaper and ask them who sent in these pictures!"
"That's actually not a bad idea," Jude replied with a slight smile.
