Chapter 3

The concert was over and Tommy and the guys were sitting back stage cooling down.

He had not decided yet on wheather he was going to go see Jude or not. Matt told him he would go

with him if he decided to looked at his watch and then jumped up from his chair.

"Kyle its time to go Jude said that she would meet us there at 10:00 and that is like in 15 minutes so come on" they were about to leave when they turned to Tommy. "So are you going to go?" Kyle asked. Wally looked at Kyle with what seemed like a warning look but this went unnoticed by Tommy.

"Umm no...I don't think i'm going to go" Tommy said as he got up and walked towards his dressing room.

When Tommy was out of site Wally turned to Kyle.

"Dude Jude said she didn't want him there ,what were you thinking"

Matt looked at the both of them.

"Yeah well she didn't want him to know either but you let that slip weeks ago and you know she wants to see him" Kyle replied

"Whatever dude come on were going to be late" Wally said as he turned to leave.

As they were leaving they both turned to look at Matt "Later dude" they said in unison and then they left.

Matt left to Tommy's dressing room.

He entered without knocking. When he got in Tommy was packing up his guitar. He looked up at Matt and sighed loud as he turned back to his guitar.

"So what.. your just going to go back to your hotel and stare at the wall while Jude is a few blocks away" Matt said looking at Tommy.

Tommy didn't turn around when he spoke "She ...she left me Matt"

Matt nodded his head "Yeah she was scared..but whose to say she doesn't love you"

Tommy shook his head and grabbed his guitar case "She wouldn't have left" he started to walk past Matt.

"Tom...man what about when you left....you almost stayed wiht your mom because you didn't want to face Jude after you guys broke up....and you loved her right?"

"Thats not the same...I knew I wasn't good enough for her I thought she desereved better"

"Yeah well she was scared Tom...just like you were. You said she wanted the rockstar life ...maybe she thought you deserved better than that because thats not what you wanted at the time"

Tommy left the room without another word. He was about to get in the limo when something fell out of his pocket. It was the napkin. He got in the limo and told the driver where he wanted to go after he picked the napkin up.

Cut to Jude

Jude sat there at the bar as she traced the rim of her glass with her fingers.

"Hey how long have you been here?" Abby asked as she picked up the rag to wip the bar.

".....a while, I couldn't go Abs"

" How much have you drank tonight?" Abby asked raising an eyebrow at Jude.

"This is only my second one...I don't want to be smashed when I see Klye and Wally"

"Shouldn't they be here by now it's 10:20?" Abby asked.

"DUDE!!" Kyle and Wally yelled as they ran to the scooped jude up into a big bear hug.

"Hey guys!" Jude let go of Kyle and hugged Wally.

The pulled away "Abby this is Klye and Wally, guys this is Abby" Jude said as she motioned her hands toward Abby.

They all shook hands. "Jude talks about you guys all the time, the infamous SME" Abby said .

"Nice to know you didn't cmpletely forget about us" Wally said as he nugged her.

Kyle looked her up and down "You look hott!"

Jude laughed and pulled the both of them into another hug "How could I Forget about you guys"

They sat at the bar and talked with Abby about all the crazy times from Judes tour. Abby laughed the whole time, especially when they told the story of Speid accidently walking in on Jude in a had thrown a blowdryer at him which left a bug bump on his head. Kyle and Wally then talked about their tour withTommy.

"So why did you pick this place to meet?" Wally asked before he took a swig of his beer.

"Well not a lot of people come here so I knew we wouldn't be bothered "

She told them the story of how she met Abby and how Abby was now her drummer.

Kyle nodded and looked over at Abby, he smile widely at her "So you took my place..you don't see alot of chick drummers thats awesome dude"

Abby smiled back "Thanks"

"Hey the place looks pretty empty why don't you go show Kyle what you can do" Jude said.

"Ok umm do you want to go ..thats my drumset on stage"

Kyle smiled "Sure i'm always up for a jam session"

They walked over to the stage leaving Jude and Wally at the bar.

Wally looked at her "You can ask you know...I mean I won't tell anyone that you did" Wally said as he ruffled her hair a bit.

"Ask what?" Jude looked at him confused.

"How hes doing"

"Oh how is Spied doing?" Jude asked knowing that this was not about Spied.

"Jude" Wally responded

" ..look Its easier if I don't think about it ..but thanks Wally."

He nodded and quickly changed the subject.

"So hows your new-" he was cut off by somebody clearing their throat behind him.

They both turned around to see who it was.

They stood in silence for a while before Wally spoke up.

"I thought you weren't coming man"
