Authors Note: Okay everyone, since I'm a total dork, I accidentally screwed up my chapters with my story, and ended up deleting it. This is still the original "Movin' Way Too Fast"...same writing, same author, the only difference is that the chapters might be split up a little bit.
Jude was sitting on her bed, rethinking the night's events. It was supposed to be such a great night. Her sweet sixteenth! But, there had been nothing sweet about it. She had been so excited to see her boyfriend Shay. He had been touring for a month already, and she hadn't seen him since he had left. But, instead of coming home with hugs and kisses, he had dropped a bombshell on her. He had hooked up with her rival, Eden, while he was touring. She could have never have imagined how humiliating it could be when your boyfriend breaks up with you in front of the press.
She then looked over at the leather jack that hung on a chair by her desk. Tommy...he had followed her out into the alley after she ran away from Shay. Tears poured from her sad green eyes, just thinking about it. He had kissed her, then took it back. Hurt by two guys in less than fifteen minutes, that had to be a new record.
The next morning Jude woke up and the memories flooded back to her. How could she go back to G Major and face everyone?
She finally pulled herself out of bed and dressed in a pair of worn jeans and a black tanktop. She walked the five blocks to G Major and was greeted by Georgia as soon as she walked through the door.
"Jude you really don't need to be here today," she started.
"I need to be here Georgia. I'll have to face everyone sometime or another."
"Okay...EJ is working on damage control, but I don't think it's going to help much." She saw a worried look come over Jude. "This is big Jude, the press lives on this stuff."
"I know, but," Jude trailed off as she saw one of G Major's employees reading a tabloid. The front page had a picture of Jude slapping Shay with a heading on top of it: 'S- to the H- to the A- to the Y Breaks up with Feisty Instant Star for garden of EDEN'
Georgia quickly grabbed the magazine and threw it in the trash. "It'll be okay Jude," she said sympathetically. "Tommy and Kwest are ready for you in Studio B."
"Great," she muttered as she made her way to the door.
"Hey," Kwest said as he gave her a quick hug. "Sorry about last night."
"Thanks Kwest, but I'll be okay. I'm tough, right?" she said as she brushed Tommy off and walked into the recording booth.
Kwest gave Tommy a 'what the hell' look and Tommy just shrugged.
"Look Tommy, I know something else happened last night."
"Why do you think that?"
"Oh, no reason. Just that Jude totally iced you out man."
Tommy sneered at Kwest's sarcasm as Jude chimed in. "Ladies if you're done with tea time, I'd really like to get started," she said sarcastically.
Jude was trying to sing a song her and Tommy had wrote together but it just wasn't working. She couldn't concentrate, especially on something Tommy had helped with.
"Jude, why don't we take a break?" Kwest said over the intercom.
"Yeah, thanks," she said as she laid her guitar on the chair. She started to make her way to the mini kitchen when Tommy grabbed her arm.
"What's going on?" he demanded.
"I'm just not feeling the song," she said as she yanked her arm away, and kept walking.
"That's not what I meant," Tommy said.
She popped the tab on the soda she had grabbed from the fridge. "Well then I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't play dumb Jude!"
"What? I'm doing exactly what you told me to do last night. I'm forgetting last night ever happened!"
"That is no reason to give me the cold shoulder!"
"Oh yeah? You don't go around kissing girls and then telling them that it shouldn't have happened and to forget it," said Jude, who was almost in tears.
"I'm sorry Jude! You think I didn't want that kiss to happen?"
"I don't know what to think Tommy!"
"Everything okay in here?" Georgia asked as she opened the door a crack.
"Yeah, just peachy," Jude said as she walked out of the room and slammed the door behind her.
"Mind telling me what happened Quincy?" Georgia asked as she walked into the room.
"Nothing, I just told her that Shay was a loser," Tommy tried to cover up.
Georgia eyed him curiously before she walked out of the room.
He let out a sigh of relief as he Georgia left and he saw Kwest open the door.
"You kissed her?"
"You know?"
"Well the walls aren't exactly as soundproof as they should be man."
"Shit!"
"Tommy, you can't keep doing this to her."
"Come on man! Do you think I want this? Do you think I'm glad that the only girl I have eyes for is sixteen?"
"Of course you aren't. But, what are you gonna do about it?"
"I don't know yet," Tommy said as he walked back into the studio. He saw her sitting in the recording booth, strumming on her guitar. She hadn't noticed that he was watching her. She looked so hurt, yet so strong. He hit the intercom button and listend to her music.
