Did you guys miss me? I missed you! This story drove me insane! But I'm back finally ready to continue with this amazing story!
Chapter 12
"I told you that you could do it! I knew this was going to happen!"
"What, that I'd go on a cheesy talent show?"
"No, that you'd be discovered somehow! You said it yourself, sometimes I can be physic."
"I think I said you can be psychotic!"
Jude laughed and pushed him just as Georgia, her new manager walked in. She snapped up straight, tugging at her shirt and smoothing her hair. A good impression never hurt anyone.
"Parents couldn't make it?"
"No they could, I just, wanted to do this without them, you know?"
"Of course, I understand."
"Oh, this is Jamie."
Jamie smiled and shook her hand.
"I'm her 'people'."
Georgia laughed. Then turned back to Jude.
"I can't wait to get started on you Jude. We've teamed you up with a writer/producer of great talent."
"Billy from greenday?"
"Tim Armstrong from Rancid?"
"I was thinking more Tom Quincy from Boyz Attack!"
Jude's heart stopped. The world spun faster. She felt sick and dizzy.
"Little Tommy Q? You're kidding me!"
Jamie kept on talking. But Jude just stood there. She looked up at the ceiling to take a deep breath. And stopped. Tommy was leaning over the railing watching her. He had gotten taller. His hair was different too, it was gelled up. But there was something else. His stance was almost defensive. The look in his eyes was guarded. Her stomach whirled dizzily again. He stepped down the stairs and she looked at Jamie, at Georgia, at the vending machines. Anywhere but at him.
"Jude." He murmured. She didn't answer. She focused on breathing.
"You okay?" Jamie whispered. "You look kinda sick."
She nodded, took a deep breath and finally faced Tommy. Georgia watched the tense scene.
"You two, ah, know each other?" She inquired.
Jude looked directly at Tommy. Directly at those icy blue eyes.
"No. I don't know him."
She walked toward the studio, leaving Tommy staring after her.
