A/N: I got bored and decided to write this. Takes place after Tommy leaves I hope you like it, please read and review. I'm A huge Jude and Quest Fan, I love Jommy but sometimes you got to twist it up for drama, romance, and uniqueness so this is my second or third Jest story. I'm not good with the narrative stuff so please forgive me If it's in bold it's me italics there thoughts. Starts of as Jude talking or writing in her Journal.
Disclaimer: I don't own Instant Star or anything affiliated with it, just writing my own thought down. I also don't own the song I know this isn't Jude's type of music but at this time this is one of my favorite songs and it adds a little humor to the story.
Background info: Tommy left few weeks ago and Jude slowly got over it, But Darius thought it would be good for her to get a way for a while so he set up a small tour for her. She's on tour with Spiederman and Quest is there as the sort of chaperone. While on tour she and Quest become closer as they learn more about each other.
Ever think that sometimes maybe the bad stuff happens because you need something bad to show you the good. Lately I have. Take Tommy leaving, I was hurt and mad and I felt like I wanted to die, that was the bad, but the good was Darius setting up this amazing tour for me and I finally got to know the real Quest. The funny, smart, amazing, and very cute Quest. I don't know why I never saw that before.
"Hey whatcha got there?" Jude quickly shut her journal and put it under her pillow as Quest entered the room putting her cup of hot chocolate on the table and sitting down next to her.
"Nothing just writing Sadie and Jamie. What's up?" Partial lie she was writing them but that was like twenty minutes ago, but she didn't want to tell him she was writing in her journal about him.
"Nothing, were about to be in Alberta, the guys are talking about getting of this bus and getting some food and possibly renting a room. I guess there tired of being on this smelly bus with you as the only other source of a female company." She hit him with her pillow pretending to be hurt by his comment though she really wasn't she was used to it, they joked around a lot and she liked it.
"Sure it's me Quest, maybe it's the fact that they want a peaceful sleep at night and they can't do that when their room is next door to a grizzly bear, oh I'm sorry I mean next door to your room." She smiled and he just laughed at her joke. She picked up the cup about to take a drink and he watched as she took a drink and cracked up when her face turned to disgust as she spit it back.
"Oh did I forget to mention we ran out of chocolate so I had to use a little mud and water to make yours." He started laughing harder; she put the cup back down and started hitting him with the pillow. He started dodging the hits while running through the bus with her swinging at him.
"Wally looks like Jude got her hot chocolate. Oh I'm inspired new song guys, I'm thinking something along the lines of Nothing says yummy like mud in my tummy." They all started laughing and this made Jude even angry as she chased Quest back into his room. Finally getting him. On the last hit he grabbed the pillow catching her by surprise making her fall into him. She looked up at him catching his eyes and a cold shiver ran down her spine as she noticed how close they were how captivating his eyes were.
"Do you want to get a room?" The question startled her and she straightened herself up and looked at him questionably. He looked at her and then realized how that sounded and laughed. "I mean for the night remember the guys wanted to get a hotel room, do you want one or do you want us to keep going and sleep on the bus.
"Oh yeah, um a room is fine." She blushed and turned away. "Ok I'm going to go to my room and get some things together, see ya later." She walked out and entered her room closing the door behind her and sliding down to the floor running her fingers through her hair. "What is wrong with me it's Quest, not that he's not attractive or anything but, I can't he's a really good friend." She sat there for a minute and thought about what had just happened. She felt the bus coming to a stop and a knock at her door.
"Yo Jude we're here." She straightened her hair and stood up grabbing some things and shoving them into a bag and then left and ran to catch up with the others.
"Ok so it's only fair that I get a room to myself cause I'm in charge, and Jude you get a room by yourself as well for obvious reason that your a girl, as for you three, you get to decide who shares a room with Phil." Quest finished handing Jude a key and one to Phil and Spied.
"Dude, that's so not fair why can't we all just have our own rooms." Wally wined and Quest shrugged his shoulders walking off followed by Jude and Phil while the three were arguing about who was going to share with Phil.
Jude entered her room and sat her things down. It was a nice room, nice size bed, and nice shower she even had a little hot tub. Yes she loved traveling on the bus but nothing beat a nice quiet room with your own bathroom and mini bar. She lay on the bed and grabbed her journal out the bag reading her last entry and turning to the back and reading the saying. She sighed and turned to a blank page prepared to write a song, Darius had made her agree to come up with at least ten new songs whether they were to go on the album or not. So far she had nothing. Her inspiration was always something that was going on with her or it was Tommy but she figured she wasted enough paper on Tommy plus she wanted to change it up a bit. She was tired of writing songs about the same stuff. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Jude it's Quest can I come in." She put her pen down and walked to the door. Quest stepped inside holding a bag of food and two cups. "I promise it's an actual soda in here." She laughed and closed the door and followed him. He put the food down and picked up her journal to look at it reading over the only line she had. "Sometimes we fight. That's it nothing else." He put it down and looked at her, she sat down on the bed checking her drink before she drank it.
"Hey I'm drawing blanks here ok I can't think of anything." She grabbed her food and he sat down and started and she started eating.
"Maybe that's the problem, you're thinking about it too much. Sometimes you just got to let it come to you." She looked at him puzzled and he just laughed. "Ok just trying singing the first thing that comes to mind it doesn't matter what it's about as long as you're singing it." She swallowed the last of her food and took a drink.
"Whatever comes to mind, you want me to make something up on the spot." He nodded his head and she shook hers and got up to throw her trash away. He picked back up her notebook and sat on her bed.
"It's easy, just start here and I'll write as you sing, if you need help I'll fill in, so let's go start singing girl." She was about to protest but decided not to. She looked at the paper to refresh her memory and started from there.
"Sometimes we fight
'Bout who's wrong and right
And stay up all
night
And sometimes we drink
And say hurtful things
That we
don't mean
Yeah, we're both screamin'
But nobody's
listenin'
Let's take this madness
Out of the kitchen
"Ah I'm stuck, I can't do this." She looked at him and he was still reading and she blushed a little. "Sorry was I going to fast?" He stopped writing and looked up.
"No you were doing good and yes you can do this, you were just doing it. I might say that was a little different from what you normally sing, but it was in your head right." She nodded and bit her nails. "Ok so let's see how bout after that we don't mean, we make the next part like the pre chorus and now all we need is the chorus which we'll tie into the title so, here come to bed come sit let's work it out." She looked at him and something came to mind and she started singing.
Come to bed
Let's just lay down
There's
just one way
We're gonna work this out
Forget the fight
Neither one was right
No one meant what they said.
Come to bed
"Ok I like it so we're going to go with come to bed but look here forget the fight I like that but let's change it a little, how about forget what I did, forget what you said." She looked as he changed what he wrote down. She was so close she could smell his cologne he smelled good she watched as his hands move and imagined what his hand felt like and what it would feel like in her hands. She noticed he stopped writing and looked up at him, they were extremely close and she blushed again and got up.
"That sounds good, I mean I like the change." She bit her nails again and he noticed she seemed nervous but said nothing instead he just closed her journal and stood up and moved to the couch.
"Yeah, oh Darius called, said they found the new Instant Star, names Karma she's going to start work with Tommy and..." He stopped as he noticed the change in her when he mentioned Tommy's name. Right he forgot Tommy.
"Tommy's back." Quest nodded and for a minute she couldn't breathe He was back and he didn't even bother to call her to tell her. She wondered how long he'd been back and why he didn't tell her and where he'd left. She had all these things going through her mind but was snapped out of it by Quest.
"Anyway um Darius said that she was going to join the tour to get familiar with you and to promote some of her songs that will be going on her album so Her and Tommy should be joining us next week." He noticed the color or lack of color in Jude's face. Of course the whole Tommy thing was going to get to her, this much he had expected. "Jude you all right?" All she could do was nod, he took this as a sign that she was still processing and decided to leave. He walked over to her and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead and left.
Jude was still in a daze she didn't really here much of what Quest said after joining the tour, she didn't even notice when he got up but when he kissed her forehead she felt that tingle in her spine and the butterflies in her stomach. She was baffled and happy at the same time. She took a shower and started getting ready for bed as she pulled back the cover she started singing what she and Quest had written
Come to bed
Let's just lay down
There's
just one way
We're gonna work this out
Forget what I did
Forget
what you said
Oh, darlin' (darlin')
Come to bed
