Instant Star FF Drama Follows Me Everywhere I Go

Jude walked into Studio 1 and greeted Mason, who was about to go into the recording booth. Quest was mixing a beat for his song, with headphones over he ears. He still hadn't noticed Jude, but she noticed he was very concentrated on the beat, so she decided not to disturb him. Mason was changing a few things in his song. Every now and then he would add something to the song, scratch a few words out, or replace some lyrics with new ones. Jude went into her bag and took out the journal Tommy had given her before he left. It had been almost a year since he left, and Jude would be turning 18 in 3 months. She still felt empty without him. Every time she walked into the studio, she expected to see him there, but unfortunately, he was never there. Jude doesn't know why he left, but she just wishes that he would at least call her, so she can just here his voice one more time. She missed how he used to be there for her. She missed him smiling at her and making things better, when she thought everything was wrong. She found herself thinking about him constantly, and wondering what it would be like to kiss him one more time. She felt like there was something missing from her life. She felt incomplete, like there was a huge space inside of her, and no matter how hard she tried, that space will never be filled in again.

Jude's Thoughts: "How could he just leave? I'm sure he had a reason, but he could at least call me. I thought I meant something to him… Well I guess I just wasn't good enough, because he's gone, and I don't think he's ever coming back. So I better just pull myself together, and try to live my life without Tommy Quincy. It's going to take a lot of healing, but it's my only chance in getting my life back."

After a while she saw Quest waving his hand in front of her face. She immediately snapped out of her thoughts and gave him her attention.

Jude: "Sorry Quest. I'm just a little distracted today, that's all"
Quest: "I noticed." He hit a few switches on the soundboard then looked back at her. "Are you alright"
Jude: "Is that a rhetorical question"
Quest: "I'll take that as a No… What's on your mind, Jude"
Jude: "I think you know the answer to that"
Quest: "Tommy right?" Jude nodded her head. "I'm sorry things had to be this way. But I know Tommy, and I know that he wouldn't intentionally hurt you, unless he had no other choice… And unfortunately, this was one of those times where he didn't have choice, but to leave"
Jude: "But he couldn't at least tell me where he was going, or why he had to go? Or not even that, just at least call me"
Quest: "It isn't that simple. Not for Tommy"
Jude: "What do-"

They were interrupted but Darius coming in through the door.

Darius: "Jude… just the girl I wanted to see"
Jude: "What did you need Darius"
Darius: "Have you started recording yet"
Quest: "Mason just finished, I was just about to start setting the recording booth up for Jude"
Darius: "Alright alright. Sounds good. Do you know where Mason headed to"
Quest: "I think he went to get himself some water"
Darius: "Alright, well I'm going to talk to him for a moment, then I'll send him to get you Jude, so we can discuss a few things in my office"
Jude: "Whatever you say Darius."

Darius walked out in search of Mason, and Jude looked over at Quest.

Quest: "What was that about"
Jude: "No Clue"
Quest: "Okay… So do you have any new songs for me"
Jude: "I have a few, but I think we should do this one first."

She turned to the right page of her journal, and handed it to him. He read over the lyrics and didn't look away at all until he finished reading it. He looked at Jude, and saw that she still was very saddened. She's been in a bad mood for a long while now.

Quest: "Wow. This is really good"
Jude: "You think"
Quest: "It's definitely going to be a hit"
Jude: "Thanks"
Quest: "So what do you think would be the main instrument for this song"
Jude: "I was thinking piano."

She went over to the piano they had in the recording booth.

Jude: "I learned piano recently, and I think something like this would go with the song."

Soon the sound of the piano filled the air. She felt like she was feeling every sound as she gently played each key.

Quest: "That sounds great. I think it will definitely be perfect for the song. So let's record the piano part first"

She stayed in the recording booth as he went behind the soundboard. He put up three fingers and counted down, then pressed the record button as she played the piano for the song. And after 4 takes, they had gotten the piano part finished. Jude went behind the soundboard and took a chair and sat next to Quest. She put the headphones on and listened to the piano recording. She looked at him and gave him a thumbs up in approval.

Just then, they heard the door open. They both turned around and see Mason standing there, with his notebook in hand.

Mason: "Darius wants to see you Jude"
Jude: "Why? What did I do now"
Mason: "You didn't do anything, just… go find out for yourself"
Jude: "O-ok."
