A/N: Thank you to those who have been reviewing! My own personal goal now is to get this story completely finished and over with (at least the bachelor portion, there will be a sequel) before Thanksgiving. If that happens I will be a very very happy person, lol. Then I can focus on writing other stories, or finishing other stories. But I don't think you're going to like how I ended this chapter, so I'll get the next one up as soon as possible. Remember to read and review!

Chapter Thirty-Four

Jude was horrified by what she had just seen. Tommy was kissing another girl…majorly. Even though Tommy technically had to date other girls, the others were supposed to be an act. It also didn't help that he had practically admitted that he liked Rachel earlier that day. Well…more or less. Knowing that fact, it hurt more than seeing him kiss her sister. Jude just sat there on her bed pondering at what just happened. He loves me, he doesn't love Rachel; he told me he didn't love her…or does he? The more Jude thought about it the more knots turned in her stomach. A tear was about slide down her cheek when all of a sudden her phone started ringing. She picked it up and noticed on the Caller ID it read 'G-Major'. Jude ignored it and slid her phone in her pocket. She had more important things to deal with right now besides chat with Darius.

She decided to face Tommy in front of the cameras; you know, he's embarrassed me on camera before so its time to embarrass him. She picked up a headband because it was windy outside and slid out of her room closing the door. Sneaking through the halls, she didn't even make it down the steps before someone called from behind, scaring her.

"Now where are you sneaking off to?" Jude turned around with anger, annoyance and frustration displayed on her face.

"What do you need Mason? You can't come with me, you're not alowed," she said quickly, hoping she wasn't too transparent.

"So that's where your going!" holding up his finger and pointing at her. She brushed his finger away while asking.

"What do you mean by 'So that's where you're going?'"

"You're going downstairs where all of the camera's are and to you-know-who." Jude crossed her arms and put them in front of her.

"Mason…I am not really in the mood for your jokes. I have to go do something and would be a lot easier if you would just let me be." Mason's face turned to anger.

"Sorry Jude but if Tommy hurt you again, I can't wait on the sidelines any longer. It's time to beat his pretty little face in." Jude laughed.

"Trust me, I would like that…a lot to tell you the truth but you beating Tommy up would make things more complicated than they need to be. Besides what I would do to him would hurt way more that what you would do."

"Darn! And look at these abs and biceps that I have been working on." He lifted his shirt up and held it up with his mouth as he held his arms up and flexing them. Jude couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Mason, Mason, Mason…. sometimes I wish you weren't gay because you would be the best boyfriend to any girl." She hugged him.

"Aww…thanks Jude." They parted but before Jude left she turned and told him.

"Mason Fox, you're the best friend any one could ask for. I love you friend." Mason smiled.

"Love you too Jude." He waved. Jude quickly ran down the stairs and slid down the banister. Her phone started ringing again and with her running so fast and not paying attention she ran into the sliding glass door. She fell hard down to the ground.

"Ow…. that hurt" Sometimes I can be such a klutz. She looked at her phone. G-MAJOR. She grunted miserably and got up, making herself presentable again and slowly opened the sliding glass door while answering her phone.

Tommy quickly pulled away after giving in a little. He liked Rachel but he felt guilty doing this to Jude. Sure he had to date other girls on the show but he didn't really like any of the other girls. Tommy didn't even think he could be friends with any of the other girls. Tommy liked Rachel but those feelings were nothing compared to the ones he had for Jude. It was like Jude had stolen his heart and he wasn't too keen on getting it back. Tommy looked around and noticed that the camera crew had left. I guess they got what they were looking for, me kissing some girl other than Jude. This was a relief to Tommy because now he could talk to Rachel without the cameraman getting in his face. He looked at Rachel and a weird look came across her face. She was the first to speak.

"I'm sorry, I hope I didn't offend you?"

"No, no of course not," Tommy shrugged off nonchalantly, trying not to make a big deal about it. Rachel sighed in relief.

"But I am truly sorry. When I kissed you I thought of Jude and it just didn't feel right." Yeah I was thinking of Jude too. Tommy thought while feeling like a guilt bomb had exploded in his stomach. Rachel then spoke up.

"The thing is, I didn't really feel any uh what's the word um…"

"Sparks?"

"Yeah…how about you?"

"None really…it kind of felt weird." They both laughed.

"I don't know but I think of you more as a good friend you know? Who I could go and talk to or write music with."

"Being friends isn't so bad, is it?" He gave her a pathetic smile.

"No it's not so bad. Friends are better because if you get in a relationship and something happens well there's not much of a chance you can be friends afterwards," Rachel said, rambling.

"That's true, and when you're friends and something happens you can usually get through it and learn from it." Rachel agreed, he is so smart, cute, and caring, Jude is lucky to have someone like him, I just hope that what I did doesn't have any affect on their relationship. At least one of us gets to have him. They stared at each other when all of the sudden they heard a big bang from inside. "What was that?" They both turned to look at the door.

"I don't know" They both watched as the door slid open revealing Jude with a big red mark on her head while talking on her cell phone. A look of worry passed through Tommy face.

"Do you think she saw us?" Tommy looked at Rachel.

"I don't know," he looked down at himself in a hot tub with Rachel. Another bomb of guilt exploded in his stomach when he realized he also lied to Jude saying how he was going to change clothes and talk to Jeff. Well… Tommy was going to go get into dry clothes but as he passed the hot tub Rachel pulled him in. It wasn't his fault but he could have said that he had to leave. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard someone yelling.

"What? You have to be joking!"
