Chapter 3

The Bed Where You Lie

Is Made Up On Your Side

a/n:Title and song in this chapter belong to Avril Lavigne off of her new album called "The Best Damn Thing". I'm in love with this new song.

This chapter will entitle why Tommy and Jude didn't end up getting along after splitting up, and how Jude got pregnant.

Tommy walked into the courthouse. Today they'd be signing the divorce papers...as much as it seemed like things could have actually turned out good between him and Jude, he was wrong...

The Night Before

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Long story short, Jude and Tommy had shared a disagreement and work, and we continuing the fight at a party later that night at Slide.

"Oh, come on Jude! It's just a damn song!!!"

"No, Tom, it's not! It's our past!!! It's us!"

"Since when do you write about us anymore!?"

"I-"

"You know what!? I don't wanna hear your childish answers!!!" Jude slapped him harshly, causing his head to toss to the side. He let out a slight scream as the new scratch marks crossed the ones she'd left from the week before.

"You're an ass, you know that!?"

"Yeah, and you're a lying cheating slut!!! You something good to write about?! Well congratulations. You just found 'im." Tommy turned around and began walking away.

"Tom." He turned back as tears began to course down Jude's cheeks.

"What? Really Jude!?"

"No, I didn't...I didn't find it...Because I can't find something in someone I never had."

"Then I guess this is the end of us..."

"I guess so..."

"Fine." He turned to walk away again.

"Don't ever expect me to talk to you again." She turned around and walked away from him. He shook his head and walked out of the club...

Needless to say, the divorce wasn't pretty...

20 Months Later

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tommy walked into Slide (this seemed to be a regular occurance in his life for about the past year or so...) and up to the bar. Jude was sitting at a stool, stirring her straw.

"Harrison." He nodded at her, acknoledging her being there. As she'd done the last year and 8 months, she ignored him. He sighed and took the drink that the bar-tender had poored him. Jude stood and walked past him. He heard her say something softly.

"Happy 27th, Quincy."

The night moved along smoothly. Jude and Tommy avoided eachother for the most part, and Tommy enjoyed his time with his friends. Around 1:30, everyone began to head out. Tommy saw Jude near the bar, looking smashed.

"Come on, Harrison...You need to get home..." Tommy looked at the bar tender, nodding to for him to call a cab for the both of them.

When the cab arrived, they both got in, and Jude laid her head on Tommy's shoulder. He directed the driver to his house, and carried Jude (Who had passed out in his arms) into the house. She awoke when he laid her on the bed.

"Quincy? What am I doing here?"

"You passed out in the cab, and I wasn't going to ride all the way across town with you and then all the way back over to this side of town...I'll sleep on the couch if you want me to..." She stood and removed her tight jeans, letting them drop to the floor. Tommy pulled a shirt from the dresser and tossed it to her. She caught it and pulled it on.

"I'm not gonna put you out...just stay on your side of the bed..." She sighed, sitting down. Things began to spin around her. She jumped up and ran to the bathroom. Tommy rushed after her.

Jude dropped to her knees, letting the contents of her stomach pour into the toilet bowl. Tommy pulled her hair out of her face and rubbed her back. "Shh...just let it out..." When she'd calmed, Tommy picked her up and carred her to the sink. He set her on the counter and wiped her face off with a warm cloth before filling a cup on the counter with water. He handed it to her, and she drank it as he continued to wipe her pale face off. She sighed, setting the cup down, and laid her head against Tommy's shoulder. He rubbed her back for a minute before picking her up and carrying her back to the bedroom.

When they were both comfortable (Which consisted of Jude laying diagonally across the bed with half of her body covering half of Tommy's body, casuing both of them to be laying diagonally.), Tommy began playing with her hair,watching her rest. She looked up at him.

"Thank you...for bringing me back here...and not letting anything happen to me..."

"You shouldn't be thanking me...I let you get smashed..." He chuckled, and she sighed, breathing in the scent of his cologne.

"Tommy?"

"Hrmm?"

"If the one thing you wanted tonight was with you, and you knew you could take advantage it, and nothing would stand in your way...would you take it?"

Tommy sighed, confused. "Um...Yeah, I guess." She looked up at him.

"You're my one thing..." She felt tears in her eyes. Tommy leaned up and kissed her. She pulled herself up, moving so that she was completely on top of him. He wrapped his arms around her, sliding his hands up the back of the shirt he'd given her to wear. She sighed, rolling over...

9 Weeks Later

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jude walked into studio b. Once again, she and Tommy had shared an incredibly horrible fight, and they didn't know how to fix it. She set her bag down, and Tommy looked at her, a bit confused.

"What?"

"You seem...different. I don't know..."

"Well,-"

"I'm not trying to start a fight...I'm just saying..." He turned to the soundboard and pushed a few buttons before music filled the air.

"I know what your feeling
It's hard to believe in someone,
Someone who's not there

I know that your waiting
'Cause love is worth saving
But only for so long,
So long, so long

I swore that i would try
Since the last time,
The last time

It only hurts when your eyes are open
Lies get tossed and truth
Is spoken
It only hurts when that door
Gets open dreams are lost and hearts are broken...

It only hurts when your eyes are open
Lies get tossed and truth
Is spoken
It only hurts when that door
Gets open dreams are lost and hearts are broken..."

Jude bobbed her head to the music, smiling.

"It's good. For your solo album?"

"Mmhrmm..." Tommy smiled back at her. She sat down and pulled her journal out. He stared at the lyrics written in her notebook.

"Wow..."

"I was just working on it..." She stood and walked into the soundbooth. Her bag dropped to the floor.

"Ju-"

"Just leave it...I'll pick it up after we lay this down..." Tommy shrugged and turned to the soundboard, setting everything up. When they were both set, he nodded to her.

"I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cried
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
is made up on your side..."

Tommy looked down at the mess on the floor. There were a few broken cosmetics.

"When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?"

He looked up at Jude who had her eyes closed. He sighed, looking back down at the mess. There were things everywhere.

"When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you..."

Tommy could hear her through the speakers...If he touched her things, she'd been so hormonal lately, that she might yell at him and kill any chance they may have built back up of being together.

"I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do..."

He looked at the mess again. There was glass all over from the broken cosmetics mirror. And he'd noticed Jude wearing flip-flops. If she didn't pay attention, she'd cut herself.

"When you walk away
I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?..."

Jude opened her eyes and smiled at Tommy. His heart jumped into his throat. That wasn't the "thank-you for a being a great friend and producer these last 9 weeks" smile...That was the smile he'd lost almost 2 years ago... The "I Love You And Will Forever" smile.

"When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you..."

He mouthed an 'I Miss You Too." back at her. Her smile grew wider as her eyes closed again. She placed a hand on the left earphone, letting her voice become more raw.

"We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah..."

Tommy looked back at the ground. Something caught his eye. He tried to avoid reaching down to grab it, but interest got the better of him. He reached down and grabbed the box.

"All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me
Yeah..."

He pulled the pregnancy test out of the box, seeing that it had already been opened (and used, Tommy assumed.) He looked at it for a moment, and then looked at the back of the box. Positive.

"When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too..."

Jude smiled at Tommy as she opened her eyes for the last few lines of the song. He smiled back contentedly, setting the box on the edge of the soundboard.

"When you're gone
All the words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you..."

Jude finished out the song and then walked into the soundbooth. She kneeled down and began picking things up. Tommy got up and grabbed a paper bag.

"Here, let me help you with that." He began putting broken pieces of glass into the bag. She looked around after she'd finished putting all the things in her bag. He looked up at her. "What're you looking for?"

She stood, not answering him, and saw the box on the soundboard.

"You went through my things?"

"It was laying on the floor, I-"

"You. Went. Through. MY. THINGS." Jude said more sternly.

"Jude-"

"Just say yes or no, Quincy..."

"Yes..." He looked at the ground, ashamed. "But I saw it, and-"

"How dare you!?"

"Well how long have you known?"

This time, Jude was the one with the glance cast downward.

"How long Jude? Huh? A few days? Weeks? A month? How long?"

"3 Weeks..."

"What!?"

"I wanted to make sure it was positve first!!!!" She glared at him through tear-filled eyes.

"Don't you get that!? I couldn't bare to have something go wrong again!!!"

"But why!? Why would you keep it from me!?"

"Honestly, Tom? It's none of your business...We're not married. This baby is inside of ME."

"But we both created it." Tommy stated it in his smart aleck tone.

"And that gives you credibility? Because I let you cum inside me? Because I had sex with you?"

"Jude-"

"No. You cheated on me, remember? That's why this ended in the first place."

"Really, Jude? That's why it ended? I was aware that it ended because we were 'broken'. Not that I understood what you meant by 'broken'...I still don't."

"Oh, come on Tom..."

"You come on, Jude!"

"You are still SO immature!!!"

"And you're incredibly childish! So what!?"

"You know, what? I don't need this. Concider this peace we've had between us during these last nine weeks, over." She grabbed the box and her bag and walked out.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(back to the end of chapter 1)

Tommy awoke the next morning to see Jude curled up on top of him with her head burried in his neck. He smiled down at her and moved slightly, placing himself between her and the back of the couch. He felt her suck on his neck and couldn't help but laugh.

"You're not sleeping, are you?"

"m-rm..." She bit on his neck slightly and he laughed again.

"What're you doing?"

"M-king mih m-rk." Tommy laughed again, attempting to move her. She bit harder into his neck.

"Hey!" He tried to push her back again, and she wrapped her arms around him. He sighed defeatedly and wrapped his arms around her back, kissing the top of her head.

After a few minutes, she pulled back and smiled.

"Good enough." She smiled up at him. He leaned over her and pulled her cosmetics mirror out of her bag, looking at the spot she'd been sucking on. There was a good-sized hickie on it. "Now everyone will know you're mine again."

Tommy laughed.

"In that case," He kissed her softly, rolling over so that she was under him. He held him self up, careful to not hurt her or the baby. He trailed kisses down her neck and latched into the side of it, sucking as hard as he could.

"Hey!" He giggled into her neck and continued his conquest. After a few minutes, he stopped and trailed kisses back up her neck to the other side where he latched on again. After several minutes, he began kissing her again. Once again though, he stopped and began sucking down the front of her wind pipe. 10 minutes later, he pulled back and smiled. Her windpipe looked as if someone had hit her with a whip. She took the cosmetics mirror from him and looked at it. "Hey! I only gave you one!"

"1 for me is the same as 5 for you...which means you still need two more." He smiled and moved his head to the other side, sucking on the side of her cheek, just under the jaw bone.

"Tom..." She groaned, but he just giggled. When he finished there, he sat up, pulling her with him. She sat, straddling his lap.

"I get one more...Hrmm..." He looked at her for a moment, studying all possible spots. He smiled.

"What?" He kissed the spot in the middle of her chest, right between the collar bone. She let out a laugh, struggling to stay still as his toungue tickled her chest. "Tommy!" He stopped for a minute.

"Huh?" She smiled and kissed him. He leaned back, wrapping his arms around her.

"Who's in here?-...whoa, evidentally someone got locked in." They both pulled away from eachother to see Darius.

"D..."

"Oh, don't let me stop you...I was just getting set to close the place up for the week...wanted to make sure everything was off and cleared out. You two should go...I'm pretty sure you wanna spend Christmas with the family..."

They both got up and straightened their clothes. Tommy grabbed his jacket and handed it to Jude. She pulled it on and Tommy stuffed her things into his bag. After they were set to go, he pulled his bag over his shoulder and grabbed her hand.

"Ready to go?"

"Mmhmm. You?" He nodded, kissing her once more. Darius smiled.

"Okay, you two enjoy your vacations..." They smiled and walked towards the lobby doors.

"And, uh, one more thing..." They both turned around.

"Huh?"

"Try not to come back looking like you tried to eat eachothers' necks."...
