Chapter 15

"Are you going to tell me about her?" Jude asked. She and Tommy had arrived at the cemetery ten minutes ago. Tommy laid a single white rose on Angie's gravestone, and then he was silent.

"Tommy?"

"It happened when I was in Boyz Attack. We had made it big. I'm talking sold out stadiums, worldwide tours, we had it all. I was young and I wanted to have fun. But I was married to Portia, of course. I think I did love her at one point in time, but it seemed so dull. That's when I met Angie. She was a backup singer for our second tour.

Flashback

"Grazie Italia!" Tommy shouted into the microphone as Boyz Attack finished their concert for Italy. He and the rest of the group ran backstage.

"Man we was on fire tonight!" Andre excitedly danced around, doing some of the group's moves.

"Some of us need to stick to the routine." Chaz stated, as he took a sip of water. Everyone knew he was talking about Tommy.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tommy asked, as he took off his bandana.

"It means that it's not called the Tommy Show!" Chaz responded. "You can't make up your own moves."

"It should be called the Tommy Show! You know why? It's because I sing better than you. I dance better you. I'm just better than you. And these moves are tired, who died and made you the choreographer?" Tommy was in Chaz's face now.

"You need to back up Tom, because this isn't what you want." Chaz said, as he balled up his fists.

"Try me!" Tommy said, as he pushed Chaz. Brian and Dustin ran in to stop the fight before it got ugly. Andre, Brian, and Dustin looked at each other and shook their head. Tommy and Chaz were always fighting over who was the best.

"Okay, I'm about to find a bella to take out tonight, so Ciao." Dustin said.

"Really Dust?" Andre laughed at him. "Bella? Ciao?"

"We're in Italy man. You know how that saying goes, When in Rome…" Dustin replied.

"Do you even know the end of that phrase?" Brian asked.

"Whatever man." Dustin said, and then he left.

"Well, Brian and I are about to party with some groupies. I think that's what Dust was trying to say. You guys coming?" Andre asked Tommy and Chaz.

"No." Chaz said. He was still angry.

"I might catch up with you guys later." Tommy said. He had to call Portia because she was sick.

"Hey babe." Tommy asked, as soon as she answered.

"Hey." Portia said sounding very nasally.

"How are ya?" he asked. His attention was on the brunette that was across the room talking with the other backup singers.

"Tommy? Tommy?" Portia yelled in a scratchy voice.

"Huh?"

"I asked how the concert went."

"It went good. I gotta go." He said, as he hung up. He walked over to her.

"I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Tommy." He said, as he extended his hand for her to shake.

"I'm Angie." she replied and shook his hand.

"Do you want to go somewhere and talk?" he asked. He felt his back pocket to see if he had condoms. Check.

"Sure." Angie said.

"Excuse us ladies." Tommy said to the other backup singers, as he and Angie walked to the tour bus. They all looked at Angie with envy in their eyes. They knew Tommy always went for the new girls.

"Have fun with your hand." Tommy laughed at Chaz.

Chaz gave him the middle finger and dug into his pocket for his daily supply of cocaine. "Any of you ladies want to party?" he asked the singers. Chaz was every bit of a cliché.

When Tommy and Angie walked onto the tour bus, they saw Kwest sitting at the table playing cards by himself. Kwest looked up and smiled. "Hey T. Hey Angie."

"Hey K." Angie replied and gave him a hug.

Tommy wanted some time alone with Angie. "Kwest run to the diner and get some food." Kwest already knew what that meant. But Angie was a good girl, so he wasn't going to let Tommy use her.

"Sure man, but can I talk to you outside?" Kwest asked Tommy.

They got off the tour bus and Kwest looked at Tommy. He had that 'time to get lucky' look on his face. Tommy felt like he was wasting precious time, so he spoke up. "What's up?"

"She's different." Kwest said.

"Oooh, she's a virgin?" Tommy's eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face.

"I mean, she's a good girl."

"So. Good girls are always looking for a chance to go bad. And my job is to help them make that transition as smooth as possible. Or rough, if that's how they like it."

"Tommy for real, she's not like that, okay? Treat her with respect."

"Kwest, you need to get laid. Why didn't you go with Andre and Brian?"

"First, I do get laid. Second, I'm still recovering from the hotel party."

"Oh yeah." Tommy laughed as he remembered finding a very drunk Kwest doing shots off of two models in the Jacuzzi. "Okay, I'm still starving. How about that food?" he asked Kwest.

"Remember what I said." Kwest went to the diner. Tommy went back to the bus.

"Sorry about that…" he tried to remember her name.

"Angie." she said. She politely smiled at him.

"So, do you like singing, or is it just paying the bills?" Tommy was trying to make small talk. He didn't want to just pounce on her. Well, he did, but he wanted her to think that he had self-control.

"I love singing. I've been singing since I was three years old. I was so happy when I got picked to sing for you guys! I am a huge fan!" Angie couldn't believe she was sitting at a table, talking to The Lil' Tommy Q.

"Yeah baby, I'm a fan too." Tommy said. He knew he had her right where he wanted her when she started talking about being a fan. He moved closer to her and put his arm around her. "You smell good." he said, as he kissed her neck. Angie quickly sat up straight. She felt so nervous, but she had to act confident. Well, as confident as a 17 year-old could be while in the presence of a superstar.

"You didn't think I would be that easy did you?" Angie asked Tommy.

Tommy looked surprised. They were easy, weren't they? Maybe Kwest was right. Maybe Angie was different. He tried to play cool. "Of course not."

"I'm a good girl Tommy." Angie winked at him, and then she left the tour bus, leaving Tommy to his thoughts.

Those thoughts only lasted a week until he found out Angie was 17 years-old. He tried to avoid her, but it was just something about her, that he couldn't resist. He and Angie became best friends, which didn't sit well with Portia. She noticed the glances on stage between the two.

Portia called Tommy on it, one night after a show. He denied that he and Angie were sexually involved, and he was telling the truth. Portia didn't believe him. Tommy began to spend more time with Angie and they had a strong connection.

Two weeks after Angie turned 18, she finally got the courage to tell Tommy how she felt about him. She showed up at the guys' apartment. She knew Tommy would be there because he and Portia had a fight the previous night. So, of course she kicked him out. The rest of the guys were out for the day, so it gave her a chance to talk to Tommy alone. Angie knocked, and a half-naked woman answered the door. Angie peered into the door some more, and she saw Tommy on the couch, cuddled with another half-naked woman.

End of Flashback

"When I looked towards the doors, I saw her. She was so hurt and angry. I never meant to hurt her; I was only cheating on Portia. Before I could get up, she had already left. Later on, the news said she died from a car accident. They said she was driving above the speed limit and she lost control of the car and hit a tree."

"I am so sorry Tommy." Jude said.

"She wouldn't have been driving so fast if she wasn't mad at me. It's my fault that she's dead. She had a bright future ahead of her. She was going to make it big in the music industry."

"Tommy, it's not your fault." Jude tried to comfort him.

"I feel like I led her on. Why else would she have gotten so mad at me? I really screwed up." Tommy was really upset.

"No you didn't Tommy, stop being so hard on yourself."

"I did Jude! I screwed up with Angie and I screwed up with you!"

Jude was speechless.

"When we first met and we wrote that song on the pier, I felt a strong connection with you. You were smart, funny, sexy, creative, and the best damn musician I ever had the pleasure of working with. Then Georgia had me producing your first album and we started to spend a lot of time together. That connection only grew stronger. Then, I kissed you at your 16th birthday. It felt so right, but it was so wrong. Not only because you were underage, but because that connection was the strongest it had ever been. I had to stop. And that's why I told you we had to pretend that kiss never happened. I saw in your eyes, how hurt you were."

Jude was crying now.

"I would say our relationship was just like mine and Angie's because I did lead you on. But, I realized we were nothing like Angie and me, because I fell in love with you Jude."

Tommy held Jude's hands in his.

"I thought I would lose you if I stayed with you, and that's why I left for those years. I did it for Maya and Darius, but I did it for us too. It was completely foolish because I lost you anyway." Tommy searched into Jude's eyes to see her reaction. Her blue eyes were filled with understanding, but also with affliction. Tommy stared at her as she walked away. He gave her a confused look when she stopped in front of a gravestone. She waved him over to her. When he got there, he looked at the gravestone. Tyler Ramone Harrison-Matthews? That's the same name she has tattooed on her. Wait a minute, Harrison? Maybe it's one of her relatives. Tommy read the gravestone aloud.

"Tyler Ramone Harrison-Matthews"

Jude closed her eyes and winced as she heard Tommy say her son's name. It was so painful.

He continued to read. "An Angel Borrowed-"

Jude cut him off and finished the inscription. "Now Returned. Rest Peacefully Little One."

Tommy looked at her, confused. He was waiting for her to explain.

"I guess it's my turn." she said, as she took a deep breath.

Please Review/Comment. Next chapter coming soon.

Author's Note: I liked writing Tommy's personality when he was with Boyz Attack. He seemed like he was like that; sleeping with a lot of women, cheating on Portia, his attitude, everything lol. And if I didn't make it clear, Portia didn't cause the car accident like she did in the show. I made her innocent. Okay, Chapter 16 is coming soon.
