A/N: Okay so this was my first fan fiction ever...I started it last May and have posted it on a few other sites so I thought I would try here too. I already about about 40 chapters or so written on it...(my writing isn't as bad as it is in this chapter...it does get better, lol) And I've also written another fan fiction which I might post, but I'm not sure yet.
Anyhoo, this is The Bachelor. Just for reference points...Jude is 18 and Sadie is 21. You'll soon find out that Tommy is not Jude's producer, in fact she doesn't know him. Everything else is pretty much said for itself. If there's anything else I need to add I'll tell you. Read and review please:
Chapter One
Jude was in the studio finishing her song "My Sweet Time". After singing the last note she looked up at Kwest who gave her thumbs up after she was done singing.
"Jude that kicked ass! That's gonna be a hit for sure!" Kwest exclaimed taking off his headset.
Grateful to finally have the last song on her album completed, she jumped and gave Kwest a big friendly hug. "Finally! If I had to do that song one more time I swear I would've shot someone," Jude said relieved.
"Well then good thing you finally sung it right for once," Kwest retorted and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey!" Jude hit him in the arm, "I'm gonna go get something to eat, all that singing works up an appetite. Do you want anything?"
"Nah, I'm good. I'll just finish up the mixing on this song and show it to Darius. He's been begging for a new song."
"Mmk. Do you need me for anything else today or can I just go home, Sadie said she needed to talk to me about something."
"I don't see why you have to stay. Just make sure to come in tomorrow and we'll pitch the album to Darius. Oh and, say hi to Sadie for me."
"Will do, I'll see you later then."
"Bye Jude," Kwest said turning back to work.
Jude turned and left the studio happily. She was glad to finally be done so she could have a break until she had to work on her third album. Time for food, man I forgot how hungry I've been the past few days. Jude thought as she pulled into McDonalds and ordered her favorite, double cheeseburger with no pickle and French fries. It took her less than 10 minutes to down the whole thing.
Pulling into her driveway 15 minutes later she was greeted by an ecstatic Sadie. Wow, either she's just getting more blonde or she just took a few caffeine pills. Jude mentally laughed at that thought. She got out of her car and got Sadie calm enough to go inside to tell her about the supposed to be fantastic news.
"Oh my god Jude, I just got word from the producers of the show, 'The Bachelor'. They watched the video I sent in and want me to be on the show!" Sadie exclaimed practically bouncing off the walls.
"What?! Wow, I didn't think that you'd actually make it, but that's awesome!" Jude said actually very shocked to hear that Sadie was accepted.
"Well it's good to know that you have so much faith in me Jude. But anyhoo, they want me to fly down to L.A. next week so I can get settled before they start filming."
"Sweet, but this is the show where one guy dates like 20 girls, so who's the lucky guy?" she asked knowing only one person who could get Sadie this excited.
"That's the best part! It's Tom Quincy!"
"Little Tommy Q from Boyz Attack? No wonder you're so happy to be going on the show. Then again I'm not sure how many girls are actually attracted to ex-boybanders these days," she said with disgust. Jude could not think of any other person that made her cringe like he did. She couldn't stand the way girls threw themselves at him for just being good looking. It had to be the looks because truthfully, the music wasn't that great.
"Probably a lot more than they are attracted to some of the guys you date. Speaking of attractive we have to go out shopping, I want us to be the hottest girls there."
Jude turned to walk away but did a double take, "Why us? I'm not the one going on the show…"
"Well of course not, why would Tommy be interested in you? They told us to bring a friend to stay at the house with us, although I don't know why…but anyways, you're going with me," Sadie stated matter-of-factly.
"Wait, I can't go with you! There's no way I'll be stuck with a ton of other girls who are fawning over the stupid playboy who got famous for shaking his butt!" Jude exclaimed, wanting nothing to do with Sadie's little show.
"Pleaaaaasssseee Jude, for me? I promise it won't be horrible, and aren't you close to finishing your album anyway?"
"Yeah we just finished today but…" Jude started before getting cut off by Sadie.
"Then it's settled! You're coming with me! I have to go shopping, come on!" she exclaimed, trying to drag Jude toward her car.
"Sadie, wait! I have to check with Darius to see if it's alright. Knowing him he'll want me to do performances and crap while I'm there. But can we hold off on the shopping till tomorrow?" She questioned pleadingly.
"Fine. But I'm warning you, it's going to be an all day event," she warned.
"Great…" she muttered sarcastically.
Sadie flew out of the room and ran upstairs, all the while singing loudly to the Boyz Attack song, 'Pick Up the Pieces'. How the heck am I going to get through this whole show with Sadie, the obsessed, and Tommy Q, the idiot? Jude thought as she called one her best friends, Mason. He picked up on the second ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's me. Guess where I'm going next week." She said with little excitement.
"Well let's see…um…the moon?"
"What?" Jude asked confused.
"Hey you asked…so where are you going? You don't sound too enthused." Mason remarked.
"Well would you be if you had to accompany your controlling older sister to L.A. where she is going to be on 'The Bachelor' with Little Tommy Q being the bachelor?" Jude huffed resentfully.
"Hey I would be, you're sister is good entertainment being a dumb blonde, and Tom Quincy is not that bad looking either."
"Well then you can go in my place! I'm really not looking forward to meeting someone who makes his living creating pointless music while wearing a white jumpsuit and shaking his ass on stage."
"The music wasn't all that horrible. Remember karaoke night at SKIDS when we paid you to sing and dance to a Boyz Attack song? Haha, the memories…and the blackmail," Mason said laughing at the memory.
"I was drunk, you guys were just trying to find a way to make a fool out of me," Jude defended.
"Excuses, excuses. You know you liked it. That reminds me, did you hear that he's going to be switching jobs? I guess he's tired of the pop star act and wants to become a music producer. He's supposed to be pretty good."
"All I have to say is have mercy on the artist who has him for a producer," she laughed bitterly. This caused a chuckle from Mason on the other line.
"Well have fun. Oh I heard you and Kwest finished your album!" Mason exclaimed, glad to be able to lighten the mood.
"Yeah! Oh my god I am so glad it's done, I don't know if I could stand Darius any longer," Jude replied, relieved to be done talking about Quincy.
"Yeah, from what I hear he loves the song!"
"Well he better! I spent a long time on that one. Speaking of Darius I'd better get off the phone with you or else he'll have a hissy fit if he finds you not working."
"Yeah I guess you're right. I'll talk to you later. Are you coming into the studio tomorrow?" he asked.
"Yeah I have to tell Darius and Kwest I'm leaving in a week."
"Don't sound so excited, Jude" he said sarcastically. "I'll talk to you later."
"Bye Mason."
After disconnecting with Mason, Jude went upstairs and changed into her gray fleece sweatpants with a black tank top. She put her hair up and went back downstairs to watch a movie. Passing Sadie's door she could hear her listening to her Boyz Attack cd and singing along, very off key, to each song. Ok, if she even starts singing those songs on this trip, I'll cut her head off. Jude thought as she put in the movie, Mean Girls, and sat on the couch. Maybe this trip won't be that bad. At least I get to get away from G major for a little while. She thought as the movie played.
