first thing i'd like to say is that the writing gets better. i wrote this over two years ago, and just wanted to get the story down. at about part three is where i started the rewrite! (:

i'm not gonna bore you with random information about why i wrote this. but i will tell you that i'm trying to make it like the real instant star, so it won't just be focusing on tommy and jude. though, i'm a jommy fan so there will be quite a lot of that! (: but i wanted this "season" seem realistic. so there will be drama from all sides, in classic instant star style! (:

there's a lot that goes on.. including visits from two people you'd never thought you'd seen again. this season will definately open with a bang. literally.

also, i'm not sure how people will respond, so for now i'm just going to post this little short bit. they'll be longer after this one. hopefully! (:

so with that said.. i give you that was us.

Episode 501: From This Moment

Part 1.

Jude Narration: "There's no contest... I'm a rockstar.
Yeah. I said that then. But being a rockstar isn't as great as it seems. In fact it's rather lonely. There are so many things I miss from home. Sadie, Jamie, my friends, my room, my band, oh, and there is that one former member of a very popular boy band."

Jude pulled up in front of her old house in a limo. She noticed all that she had quite the audience outside her house so she pulled out a mirror and fixed her blonde locks, that were now longer, and more of a dirty blonde. She stepped out of the car and was immediately greeted by screaming fans and the flashing cameras of the paparazzi. She smiled and waved at all of them wondering how they knew she was here, especially since she had kept her visit a secret. She shrugged and walked up the steps to her former home.

"Sure, it's been two months. But I feel like a really need to see the people who care about me, and not people with stupid English accents. People who actually care. And that's just what I plan on doing. Everyone needs a break once in a while, right? "

Jude stood on the stoop as she looked through her keys to find a key that she'd been wanting to use for a long time. Slowly Jude slid her old house key into the keyhole and opened the door. She walked inside dragging her suitcase behind her, and closed the door. Hushing the sounds of the screaming fans. As soon as she got inside, the familiar aroma filled her lungs and a smile spread across her face. 'Home at last', she thought.

"Sadie?" she called. "Sadie?" She heard footsteps in the kitchen, and they became louder and faster as she walked into the living room. The kitchen door flew open, revealing a grinning Sadie.

"JUDE!" she screamed in excitement. She ran over to Jude and practically jumped on her to give her a hug. "I missed you!"

"Uh... Hi... I missed you too," she stammered in shock and slight pain from being attacked.

Sadie let go and gave Jude a playful dirty look, "Thanks for all those calls, by the way. I really enjoyed keeping in touch with you!" she said sarcastically.

Jude threw her arms up into the air defensively, "Hey, I'm sorry. They've been working me to the bone. I've been so busy writing songs, and recording, I've barely had time for me," she said with a smile.

Sadie smiled, "Yeah... Too busy changing your hair again to keep in touch with your beloved family, I see." she said sitting down on the couch.

Jude laughed, "Yup. Gotta keep it fresh Sadie!" Jude sat down on the couch next to her sister. Just being in this living room was so surreal. "Man, It's been forever since I've been here! What's going on over here?" she asked.

Sadie made a grim face, "Oh, it's been hectic. World Instant Star is in full swing. G Major is constantly swarmed in ambassadors from other countries, and Darius has me constantly running around for him. Kwest came by a few days after you left to pick up his stuff, and it's been weird seeing him at work."

Jude looked confused, "Didn't Kwest quit?"

Sadie nodded and pulled her legs onto the couch, and pulled her knees to her chest. "Yeah, but Darius understood that he was overreacting. But it makes things harder when Darius keeps putting moves on me." Jude made a face, but Sadie continued to something she knew Jude would love. "Oh, but get this. Spied and Karma live in a double wide trailer, because of the breech in contract."

Jude smirked, "Karma? In a trailer! Oh my gosh! Thurman should've never cancelled that show, because that would've been some good TV!" she said with a chuckle.

Sadie laughed, "Yeah.. she keeps coming into work grumpy. I feel sorry for Tommy... She's more of a diva now, than ever."

Jude sort of spaced out after hearing the word Tommy. "How's he doing, anyway?" she asked. She hadn't talked to him since she left. She hoped he wasn't too upset with her. But she really needed to be on her own.

Sadie shrugged, "He's quiet." she said softly. "He's more moody than ever."

Jude nodded a bit, "Ah..." she said.

"So, why'd you come all the way over here? Was he the reason?" she asked.

Jude shook her head, "NO! No way. I'm on my own. No Tommy this time. I just wanted to visit the ones I care about the most." she said with a smile.

"Uh huh." Sadie said with a suspicion in her voice. "Well I got to get to work. See you later?" she asked.

Jude nodded, "Yeah.. Be careful.. It's a madhouse out there."

Sadie smiled, "Okay... Will do, Bye."

Jude waved goodbye to her sister, and pulled out her cell phone. She looked at the missed calls list that she still hadn't deleted. There were 24 missed calls from Tommy.
