JUDE'S POV.
You know thoes moments when your absloutly terrified because your completely unsure on what someones next actions are going to be that your actually shaking in your boots..? yeah well i'm having one of thoes moments right now, really, I think we all might be.. It had been 3 weeks since that night Tom Left.. and Shit was about to hit the fan..
"Jude, this is huge.. do you have any idea what this is going to do to your career, your image and your future in the music business.. and at GMajor?" Darius said calmly as he looked at me and then at the photos of my drunken disastor of night with Mr. I take advantage of heartbroken 17 year olds and get them wasted just so I can black mail them for 50 thousand dollars. Fuck he makes me sick.
"Darius, I'm sorry.. I wasn't thinking.. my head was..elsewhere." along with my heart..I though to myself that this is all Tom's fault.. I mean did he reall have to.. OH GOD NO STOP! Tommy's dead.. to me atleast.. Stop blamming him.. it's time that I take responsibiltiy..I have to show Darius that i'm worth it.. i'm better then this..better then Tommy.
I walked over to Darius with sudden confidence and didn't just say to him.. I told him. "Darius i'm a hit and i'm not going to pay this sick bastard anything. He want's to show the world.. let him.. It will just show them that i'm human.. I make mistakes! I have flaws.. but I can overcome them and make it through this.." YES! That's what I need.. I need to be strong.
"Jude, i'm going to say this once.. " He sounded pissed off almost annoyed with my thought. Shit, i'm fired.. I saw a sign at Burger King saying that they were hiring.. "Your.." fuck here it comes.. "truly amazing.." WHATTTTTTT! "I don't know any other artist that would think of putting the.. "i'm a human" approach to this and not worry. Your fans are going to see you as a role model an inspiriation and think that they can make it through anything because you did."
"Darius I can't believe that.." Darius cuts me off with a laugh and just smiles.. "Get in that studio.. I want a hit to land just as these pictures come out that way all the hype will be about you because bad press is still better then no press and were going to use it." He signals for me to leave out of his office as I blow him a kiss and leave with a smirk on my face..
I walk into studio A seeing Sadie and Kwest waiting there for me with looks on there faces like i'm about to tell them that I ran over there puppy.. "Well.." I start off trying to play it cool.. "Darius.. he want's a hit!" I yell with a laugh.
Sadie looked so confused.. I had to explain.. seeing there faces go from almost death to sheer excitment about me still having a job!
"Jude thats great.. thats even better then great that's a miracle!" Sadie Jumps over to me a plants a kiss on my cheek. "Well i better leave you two alone to make this happen." Sadie says as she kiss kwest, tells him to call her later and leaves the studio.
"Alright let's do this then babygirl.." Kwest directs me into the soundroom "I have a song I think will be exactly what Darius wants" Kwest shows some hesitation and then insits I go in and give it a shot and i begin with my song one that I'd written in these last few weeks to express what I what I was feeling.. This was going to be my last song about Tommy.. I didn't want to use it but I knew it was better then good and that I was a song that would knock everyone out.. and that's what Darius wants right.. and it's my job..
I start singing and I see kwest nod in agreement that this was the song.. the hit.
"How was that?" I asked as soon as the last words left my mouth.
"It was unbelieveable. Let's record it right now and get Darius to listen..." Kwest replied, pushing some buttons on the switchboard to set up for the recording of the song and with that I gave it my all wanting to nail it on the first try.. and I did.. and with that Kwest took it and went straight to Darius for a listen.. he told me to wait outside cause he wanted to talk to Darius alone first.. I didn't object.. I just waited..
Hell my heart was pounding so fast It hurt.. then there was a movement at the door and out walked Darius and Kwest.. Darius just smiled and said "Jude.. If this doesn't go to number one.. people have some serious issues.." ekkkk! i let out a big smile and just hugged Darius as tight as I could.. greatful that he loved the song.. "Yeah Jude.. that song is magic." Kwest said again I knew he was proud to be apart of it.. "Jude.. That Song.." That Voice.. That's.. and with that I looked at Darius office door and out walked none other then Tommy Q with a toy truck in his hand.. followed out by a little girl who immediatly ran to Portia.. My heart stopped.. i couldn't breath.. I couldn't help but think.. He back?..Why Now?.. Whos that Girl with Him? God He looks Good!..but all that stopped going threw my head as i remembered that I was now.. better then tjkhis.. better then Tommy.. he meant nothing to me..
He walked over and out of his mouth came words I've been dying to hear.. "Jude, I'm Sorry.. Your all I thought about"
I wanted to hit him.. hard.. but he wasn't worth that.. he wasn't worth getting upset about.. I just looked at him and smiled. "What did you say your name was again..?" Tom looked confused. "I must have forgot." and with that I walked away from him and didn't look back at Tommy who was now a crushed man that had just gotten his heart ripped out and stomped on it.
Karma's a bitch..
