A/N: Sorry guys it took me so long to post a new update. I've been extremely busy with school.

Chapter 5

Tommy's POV  Monday Afternoon

'Did I hear Jude right?' Tommy thought as he walked to his 6th period class. 'I swear I heard her say she liked me, but wasn't willing to fight for me. I should just talk to Sadie.'

As Tommy walked through the door, he saw Sadie and sat down in the desk next to her.

"Hey Sadie, can we talk?"

"Sure Tommy, what's on your mind?"

"It's about Jude."

"O.k., what about her?"

"What's going on with her? It's as if she's playing a game with me."

"Tommy, you have to understand something about Jude. She's fragile."

"What do you mean?"

"She still hasn't completely healed over the whole Shay think. She is so scared of getting hurt again."

"I understand that, but she needs to understand that I won't hurt her."

"I know that. You have to take it slow with her, and show her you won't hurt her."

"O.k., I'll try."

"Tommy, just talk to her." Sadie said as the teacher started talking about the assignment.

While the teacher was helping people with the homework, Tommy pulled out his phone and started texting Jude. (A/N: Tommy Text: TT & Jude Text: JT)

TT: Hey, what r u doing tonite?

JT: Nothing. Y?

TT: Do u wanna go 2 dinner w/ me so we can talk.

JT: Sure, I'll go 2 dinner w/ you. Is everything o.k.?

TT: Yeah, I just wanna talk 2 u about something.

JT: That's fine. Where r we going?

TT: It's a surprise. :D

JT: Can u give me a hint?

TT: Dress casual.

JT: U r no help.

TT: Well I said it was a surprise.

JT: Fine. Be that way.

TT: I will.

JT: I'm not talking to you nemore.

TT: How come I don't believe u?

JT: I'm gonna hurt you the next time I c u.

TT: Oh really, I'm so scared. NOT!!!

JT: You should be.

TT: Really now, what r u going 2 do to me?

JT: I'm gonna make u cry like a girl. :D

TT: I would love to c u TRY:P

JT: Fine, but you asked for it.

Just as Jude sent that text the bell rang. Not even two minutes after walking out of the door, he was hit in the stomach by something. He looked down and saw it was a fist; he then looked at the owner of the fist and smiled.

"I told you I would get you." Jude stated proudly.

"So I see." Tommy smiled. "Come here, girl."

Tommy pulled Jude to him and hugged her tight. Jude returned the hug. Tommy loosened his hold on Jude, but kept her in his arms.

"What was that for?" Jude asked puzzled.

"I just wanted to hug you."

"O.k. Are you sure you're alright?"

"Yeah." Tommy stated to reassure Jude, but not himself.

"Tommy, what's really wrong? And don't tell me you're fine, because I know that's not the truth."

"I heard what you said earlier and it just scared me. I don't want to lose you when I just started getting to know you."

"Tommy, that won't happen, I promise. I don't like being hated for being with you."

"I know." Tommy said as the bell rang signaling they had to hurry and get to class.

"Well finish talking about this tonight. O.k.?" Jude said.

"Yeah." Tommy said then kissed Jude lightly on the lips. They both walked off to class.

Jude's POV  After School Cheerleading Practice

While Sadie and Jude were waiting for the other to get ready, Jude decided to ask Sadie for advice.

"Hey Sades, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Has Tommy seemed weird to you since lunch?"

"A little, but Jude he heard what you said to me at lunch. He also asked me about you."

"I know he heard what I said. And what did he ask?"

"How do you know he heard you?"

"He told me. Now, what did he ask?"

"Oh, he asked me if you were playing a game with him."

"A game? What did he mean by that?"

"He meant that one minute you're hot for him and the next you're colder than ice, but I explained to him that you're afraid of getting hurt again."

"Thanks Sades."

"You're welcome. Now let's start practice." Sadie yelled loud enough for everyone to hear.

Later That Night

Jude is texting Tommy to get a better idea of where they're going, but Tommy is not letting on to his surprise. (A/N: Tommy Text: TT & Jude Text: JT)

JT: Please, tell me where we're going?

TT: No

JT: Please!!!!

TT: Y do u want to know so bad? Don't u like surprises?

JT: yeah, I like surprises. But I don't know what ur surprises r like? Hell, after all u could be taking me 2 a strip club. ;P

TT: Hmm… never thought about that 1 yet. Maybe I'll take u there next time. :D

JT: No Tommy, I was just joking.

TT: I know you were, but I just had to say that.

JT: You think u're so funny, don't u?

TT: I don't think, I know:D

JT: Oh really, you don't think. No wonder u're so stupid. j/k

TT: Hey that's not what I meant and u know that.

JT: Yeah, I do. That's y I put j/k.

TT: Hum…R u gonna b ready on time?

JT: Yes. I'll talk 2 u l8r. I'm gonna take a shower.

TT: Good. U stink.

JT: Shut Up!!!

TT: J/k. Call me when u get out of the shower.

JT: Alright. BYE

TT: Bye

Jude goes to the bathroom to get ready for her shower. The whole time she was in the shower she thought about Tommy and their relationship. 'He can't really think I'm gonna leave him already. Or can he? Maybe I should reassure him that I ain't giving up without a fight. But how do I do that? I want him to believe and trust me, because I really do l…lo…like him. Wait was I going to say I love him? I can't love him; we're not even going out yet. Face it Jude, you fell head over Converse in love with him. Hopefully he fell too.'

As Jude was drying off, her phone started ringing. She looked at the caller I.D. and laughed.

"Hello Tommy." Jude said into the phone.

"Hey. You were supposed to call me when you got out of the shower."

"I just got out. I'm not even dress yet."

"Oh really. What are you wearing then?"

"A towel."

"O.k., stay like that. I'll be there in five minutes."

"Thomas Something Quincy. You are NOT seeing me in a towel." Jude said but was thinking different. 'At least not yet.'

"Oh, come on. Please…please…PPPPLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE!!!"

"NO!!!"

"Why not?"

"Because I said so."

"You're no fun."

"Yeah and I'm hanging up now."

"Fine. I don't want to talk to you either."

"Call me when you're on your way." Jude said while laughing.

"O.k. Bye."

"Bye."

Jude laughed then went to her closet and start to go through it looking for an outfit. After thoroughly looking through her closet. She decided on a pair of jeans and a baby blue tank top that Sadie had bought her for her birthday last year. After getting dress, Jude walked into the bathroom and blow dried her hair. She let her hang in natural loose curls that framed her faced. She then applied light makeup. Just as she finished her make-up, her phone rang.

"Hello." Jude answered.

"Hey, I'm leaving my house now. I should be there in about 15 minutes. O.k.?"

"Yeah, that's fine. See ya soon."

"Alrighty, Bye."

"Bye." Jude said and walked down the stairs to wait for Tommy.
