A/N: Okay this is a very short, very cheasy (if you ask me) chapter, but it's cute nontheless. I think you guys will like it. But good news!! I have officially finished this fic, it will be 44 chapters long. But, if I haven't already said this, there is a sequel to it, so the ending is half-cliffhanger. You'll have questions and you don't get to see exactly how it will end per say, but it's better than what I would've originally done, you all would've yelled at me, lol. But in the meantime I'm going to be starting the sequel so that when we get to the ending, I came jump right and and start posting it. But anyhoo, hope you enjoy this chapter! Remember to review!

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Tommy and Jude kept their stare going, neither one breaking eye contact. Getting into a heartbreaking fight wasn't something they wanted, especially with all the witnesses. It was already awkward enough for Tommy having Mason around with Jude all the time and it was awkward for Jude seeing ten other girls flirt with him. Tommy decided to break the stare and let out a few words.

"Let's not get into this…okay?"

"Fine…works for me." She quickly bumped passed him and went straight to her mirror putting the make up away and starting to take clips out of her hair. He was watching as she cleaned up her stuff. I guess I am wrong for once…we do need to get into this. There was a stool next to Jude, which Tommy planted himself on. Jude noticed and quickly questioned him.

"Yes…can I help you?" by then all of her make up was off except her lipstick.

"Yeah…when did you start to hate me so much that you would publicly tell me off?"

"Speaking of telling people off, what about your song? Hmmm?"

"First off, we're together and then you tell me you don't want me, and then finally we agree on being together and then some geek loser producer says we can't be together and you listen to him? Just like the song says: you're taking it way too far Jude. You're on the show now. We can be together and no one can stop us."

Jude could feel a few tears skimming the brim of her eyes. She had to admit his words hurt, but they also held a truth, a truth she didn't want to face. So instead of succumbing to the tears Jude decided to give a remark and answer his previous question.

"No matter how many times you say we can be together, we simply can't. I can't tell you why because I already told you this morning."

Tommy remembered what she had said, "Everything that I have told you has been the truth. Sure, there are some things that I can't say, because if I do, I'll get slapped with a lawsuit."

"Oh yeah and before you blow up at me with your big giant ego…the song wasn't even about you."

"What? That's bull…" again Jude cutting him off.

"It's far from bull. It's the truth, the damn truth. I wanted to write hate songs about you, I really wanted to but the more I kept focusing on writing hate songs…it ended up being the opposite, the complete opposite. It's like you had put a curse over me and there's no cure for it." Jude struggled but let more words out. "And for some reason, I don't want to be cured." Jude gave him a slight smile. She walked passed him grabbing her coat and stumbled to the back exit. It was pouring down rain, Great…

Tommy, who was still inside, pondered what she had just said. As soon as it finally hit home to him, he quickly ran after her. She was at the curb waiting for a taxi when he sprinted towards her.

"So what are you saying? What are your feelings for me? Do you hate me?" Jude realized what she had to say to make him stop thinking that she hated him.

"Tommy…" she looked him dead straight in the eyes and grabbed his face and pulled it towards her. "I'm far from hating you."

"I still don't understand." Their lips where barley touching.

"Damn you Quincy don't you get it?" She closed the gap between them as the rain pelted against them. She quickly let go and told him the words she had wanted to tell him since that night in the video production room.

"I love you." These words surprised Tommy more than ever. A taxi pulled up and she looked at the driver and gave him the one finger sign as she mouthed the words one minute. He obliged as she turned back around looking Tommy straight in the eyes. "I love you Tommy. I love you so much." A grin spread across Tommy's face.

"I love you too Jude. So much," he kissed her but was startled by the honk of the taxi driver.

"You said one minute I ain't watin' here all day lady," the taxi driver barked from his seat. Opening the door she stepped in the backseat. The cab slowly rolled away as she put her window down to wave goodbye. After rolling away Jude sunk into the leather interior, a smile creeping across her face as she touched her fingers to her lips. A sudden thud caused Jude to jump up, almost hitting her head on the roof of the car. Looking behind her she saw Tommy running as fast as he could to catch up with the taxi, and he was gaining on them. The cab couldn't go very fast because of traffic and soon he started banging on the window beside her.

"Stop…stop the cab, stop the cab!!" The cab came to a full stop in front of traffic light. Tommy quickly pulled the door opened and dragged Jude out.

"Tommy what the hell are you doing?"

"Getting my girl back."

He picked her up and twirled her around and planted her right in front of him. He was about to kiss her again but slowly pulled away. "Umm….just wondering…what's up with you and Mason? I mean are you guys together or something?" Jude started laughing.

"Hell no. That would be quite impossible…"

"But I thought…" Jude interrupted him with a kiss.

"You're so cute when you're confused. Oh and by the way, Mason's gay."

"Oh…."

"Yeah!" They both laughed. "Even if he wasn't, Mason's my best friend."

"Good, because he can't have you." He kissed her again, her coat falling off, exposing her dress she hadn't taken off. Jude wrapped a hand around his neck, but pulled away when they heard some little kids behind them with their parents chanting an altered version of a song.

"Two little love birds standing in the street…"

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!"

Jude and Tommy couldn't help but laugh as the mother of the two clapped her hands on their mouths. They could still hear them singing through their mom's hands. It was funny. Jude thought for a moment as the kids were playing together. Wait…what am I going to do when I have to take the million dollars at the end? I didn't even think of it. I want to be with him. It seems like we would go through more pain if we weren't together than if we were together and had to break if off at the end. I guess there's a lot we need to talk about.

"Let's go back home."

"I like the sound of that." He looked at her eyes as he saw she was dead serious.

"We need to talk."

"Okay. Let's go." He bent down and picked his jacket up and pulled it back around her. They went back to the curve and while holding hands, and together called for another cab.
