Disclaimer- I don't own Instant Star, if I did Tommy and Jude would have ended up together.
A/N- I don't accept London Calling. I just don't. Four freaking years of build up and she leaves him, cause she wants to be able to do whatever the hell she feels like in London. She doesn't want any anchors? Well Jude, sweetie did you miss the day that you ignored all your anchors and passed out in Jaime's basement from over exerting yourself? Cause I didn't, but whatever. I know she was right to back out of the engagement cause hello, she's like 18 and needs to grow, but she left him behind entirely. I might never be able to listen to Don't You Dare again. I know I can't listen to The Music. The Jude Harrison from the finale is not the Jude Harrison I've spent four years loving- I don't know who this girl is.
So I'm putting all my other stories on hold so I can fix this mess.
"Ladies and gentleman, Jude Harrison!" A voice that Jude knew all to well boomed.
"Aunt Jue!" A little girl yelled running for Jude's legs as she passed through security.
"Very funny Andrews." Jude said leaning down to pick up the little girl, "Hey there little Ziggy Stardust. Where's Zeppelin?" She directed to Jaime.
"She's back home with Nana. She wanted to come but the doctor told her if she wanted to be in Sadie's wedding, next week she had to stay off her feet as much as possible." He said grabbing the suitcase Jude identified as hers.
"Your fault for getting her pregnant." Jude teased.
"Momma's having the baby." Roxanne said happily.
"Yes, she is." Jaime said taking his two year old daughter from Jude's arm, "Well Rock Star what do you-"
"Jaime please, no rock star stuff anymore." She closed her eyes and took a deep breathe, "That's behind me now."
"Jude," he sighed holding open the car door, "That was two and a half years ago."
"It was enough…" she shrugged, "Look Jaime, let's just forget the whole part of my life where I was a musician. Okay?"
"Gonna be hard, but for you Jude? Anything." Jude nodded and relaxed in her seat while Jaime belted Roxanne in. Welcome Home Jude Harrison.
"Tommy you can not seriously be here today." Zeppelin said following him down to the studio. It had been years and they had plenty of money since Spiederman's solo career was so successful but none of the employees of NBR had wanted to leave the basement. Fans had responded to NBR's unique sound, and they didn't want to take the chance leaving it behind.
"I'm working, Zep, just like every other day." Tommy paused and frowned at her, "Didn't Andrews say you were on bed rest till you popped?" Zep glared at him while Kwest said, "She is."
Tommy nodded, "Andrea coming in soon?" he added speaking of their newest artist.
"She should be, but man," Kwest paused, and glanced at Zeppelin, "What are you doing here?"
"What's with you two? I'm here to work." He said as if the were stupid, "And sit down already, I don't need Andrews up my butt cause his wife isn't off her feet."
"Tommy you weren't scheduled to work today," Zep said sitting, "Cause Jude's flight got in like an hour ago, and Jaime and Roxy went to pick her up."
"What's your point?" Tommy asked, with a shrug to show he didn't care.
"Her point is that the girl you've been in love with for the past seven years is coming home for the first time in three." Kwest said not taking his eyes off the mixing board.
"I am over Jude. She left me those three years ago, I was ready to give her everything and she said no. Did it hurt like hell? Yeah. Did I drink myself into a stupor only to be dragged out of it by this girl over here?" He pointed to Zep, "Once again yeah. But that was two years ago, and I'm over her."
"Keep telling yourself that." Zeppelin said, "But for now get out of my studio Quincy."
"Don't forget about dinner tomorrow." Kwest said as Tommy grumbled back up the stairs, "Can't have my best man skipping it."
"Whatever." Tommy called back.
Jaime pulled up in front of the Harrison's home instead of pulling straight into his driveway, and Jude had to stifle a gasp. It looked exactly the same as it did three years ago when she was driving away in her limo, proclaiming to herself that she was a rock star. Back before things had gotten all messed up. For her at least.
Three years away from her seemed to do her friends and family good.
Jaime and Zeppelin had gotten married only a month after she left. She had wanted to come home for it but she was on tour so instead she paid for the flowers and gave her blessing to Spied to take over as Jaime's best man. When Roxanne was born less than a year later Jude was named God mother and sent her little God-baby a box of toys a week until she could finally meet her a few months later when a concert she was attending was being held in Canada. Since then she had only talked to Jaime, Zep, and Roxanne over the phone and through email.
As far as she could tell NBR was doing well. Spiederman was a star all on his own. Not for being the back up singer for her, or for being Mr. Karma. Remind Yourself was #1 in the charts longer than any of her songs had ever been.
And the thing that had brought her all the way from her place in London. Sadie's wedding to Kwest. The last time Jude had been home, Kwest had just moved out, they had broken up because Sadie couldn't see a future for them.
Apparently she was wrong. Jude thought to herself with a smile, knowing Sadie would fill her in on all the details later, the whole long distance thing never really worked for the Harrison sisters. Sure they talked but not like they had on Saturday mornings when they'd both wake up early and sit in their pjs all day eating ice cream and swapping gossip.
"Unca Tommy." Roxanne's voice interrupted her thoughts, and she whirled around to find herself face to face with her ex boyfriend.
"Tommy." She whispered.
"Hey Roxy." Tommy smiled at the young girl, "Jude." He added softly.
"Quincy what are you doing here?" Jaime asked.
"Trying to convince your wife- Ow jeez Rox-" Tommy stopped to pick up the small girl yanking on his shirt tail, " trying to convince your wife to let me in. Andrea's gonna be here soon."
"Hold on, you work for him?" Jude asked, turning to Jaime, "He works for you? What happened to G Major? Darius?"
"It's kind of a long story." Jaime said awkwardly.
"I'd be interested in hearing it." Jude said hurt, as she looked between both men.
"Whatever," Tommy said turning to face Jaime again, "Look are you gonna tell your crazy wife to let me produce or what?"
"My crazy wife? She's your best friend." Jaime said.
"Okay, what?" Jude all but yelled. It was all too much information to process in such a short time.
"Quincy I told you to go home." Jude turned to see a very pregnant Zep exiting the Andrews home.
"Yeah well the doctor told you to stay in bed," Tommy said rolling his eyes, "Don't see you listening."
"He's right sweetie pie." Jaime said kissing his wife on the cheek.
Zeppelin rolled her eyes and turned to Jude, offering her a big smile. "Hey Jude." Jude offered her a tight smile and closed her eyes, it was times like this that she wished she was back in London.
"So how were those solo adventures?" Tommy asked sarcastically, which earned him a glare from Jude and Jaime and a smack to the head from Zep.
This is gonna be a long week. Jude thought to herself.
A/N- Jaime's daughter is named after a Police song, and Jude calls her Ziggy Stardust after a Bowie album.
I know what you're all thinking Tommy and Zep best friends?? Yeah I know but it kinda just came to me and now I'm running with it. Kwest is still his best friend to, but I'm gonna explore a Tommy and Zeppelin friendship.
This story should have some flashbacks, like why Jude isn't doing music anymore, what Tommy meant when he said Zep dragged him out of his drunken stupor and possibly Sadie and Kwest getting back together, but I'm not sure if that's really needed or not.
Oh and Spied and Karma will be in this there just wasn't any room for them in this chapter.
Hope you guys liked it, please review.
