Necessary Avoidance of the Truth—an isff (jommy)
A/N: I began writing this thing before I joined this site, and so the first couple chapters are mainly in the "forbidden" script format. Sorry. And yeah, this piece is mainly repeated dialogue, but only because that's how I SO wanted this episode to go!!
Disclaimer: (in a haughty voice) I should think that the very fact that I'm writing my ideas as fanfics instead of episodes proves beyond reasonable doubt that I don't own Instant Star.
Prologue
"Should I Stay Or Should I Go": Club scene
Recap: Jude and Sadie have just found out that their parents are divorcing, but haven't had a chance to talk yet. Jamie still hasn't been able to tell Jude how he feels. Tom is with Sadie, but hasn't informed Jude, neither has he told Sadie that he kissed Jude on her birthday. All are about to receive a shocking wake-up call…
Jude: (is walking towards Sadie) (in same direction, spots Jamie) Hi.
Jamie: Hey, Jude, listen, I really need to talk to you.
Jude: Um, I just really want to talk to Sadie right now. So can we talk later?
Jamie: Yeah.
Jude: Ok. (approaches Sadie) Hi.
Sadie: Hey.
(They stay silent for a moment.)
Sadie: They both really love us, okay. Ya gotta let that be enough.
Jude: I know; I just can't wait until I get outta here. I'm gonna have Jamie. I feel kinda bad that you're not gonna be with anyone.
Sadie: Actually… (smiles)
Jude: What? A guy?
Sadie: Yes.
Jude: Oh, I totally should've known! You've been so happy lately, and you're always whispering on your phone. When do I get to meet him?
Sadie: Um, it's too soon. But I do know that you could use a little love in your life right now.
Jude: Actually…You know how Tommy and I have kinda been on this on and off crush thing? At my birthday, we kissed. Like, a major one.
Sadie: Tom Quincy?
Jude: Yeah. And I mean, everything's been so messed up lately that I kinda wanted him to come on the road with me so we could figure it out, but I think there's another girl. 'Cause he's been so dmn happy lately. He's always whispering… (Sadie throws her a significant look.) …on the phone.
(At the perfect moment note sarcasm, Tom comes along.)
Tom: (to Jude) I just talked to Darius. I mean, were you gonna tell me you're doing the Shay tour?
Jude: Were you gonna tell me that you're doing my sister?
(Sadie walks away.)
Tom: (looks at each sister, goes after Sadie) Wait. I can explain.
Sadie: What, you tripped and fell on my sister's lips? If I can't trust you, then…I can't be with you.
Tom: Sadie…
(Sadie walks away, Tom returns to Jude.)
Jude: You gonna date the whole family now, Tommy? 'Cause Mom's single now, and Gram's pretty cute.
Tom: I know you don't really care what I think right now, but the Shay tour? It's a bad choice. You're not ready.
Jude: You don't get to tell me what to do right now, Tommy. Oh, these last few weeks, I let myself fall for you again. And I thought you were falling back. Do you care about her? (referring to Sadie) More than me?
Tom: Jude, you can't ask me that.
Jude: I'm asking.
EJ: (up on the stage) Ok, everybody, Jude Harrison! (cheer goes through the audience)
Jude: Who do you want?
(My story begins here)
Tom: (pulls Jude into a kiss) You.
