So basically I made my fan fiction account and just kinda stopped working with I don't really know why but I know that it was a very bad bad idea on my part. I have this really funny way of writing and when I lose inspiration I just sorta stop completely. Anyway I'm like the biggest instant star freak you'll ever meet so I'm basically just gonna reconstruct the entire series seasons 1- 4 because the way they did things was way awesome but way suck y to so this the first episode of the first season. Hope you like. By the way I'm all about Jommy with out that complicated relationship instant star didn't have a chance. In my stories Sadie isn't a heavy factor nor is Jamie.
Disclaimer: unfortunately I'm not genius enough to own the actual characters of instant star.
"Jude, still alive?" I heard Jamie ask quietly through the closed stall door. "Yeah. Maybe. No not really." I replied. He chuckled halfheartedly. "Come on super star ." my best friend kat called as the stage director told them I was up in 2 minutes.
I opened the stall door to see my two best friends staring expectantly at me. "I'm okay." I announced just to reassure them. I really was starting to feel okay listening to the stereo typical sound of Eden the last contestant in the contest. "Well just to make you feel better if you lose everyone already thinks that we are dorks so that couldn't get any worse." I gave Jamie my best glare. "Yes and that helps me how?" he just shrugged and gave me a smile.
I walked out onto the lower level of the stage just as the director was signaling me, he gave me my guitar and rushed me out on the stage as the announcer announced me. "And here to sing our last song of the grand finale Jude Harrison!"
I settled on the seat and began to play.
I've been sitting in the dirt for 24 hours I'm trying to shake you from my skin for 48 hours I'm not so trustful with my friends I'm sick of wishing you were near Don't wanna spend my time
I've forgotten what I'm worth for 24 hours
Said that you'd be here last night
Clean up this mess I've been put in for 48 hours
I'm guessing you can't always win
I'm guessing you can't always win
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta
I'm on the road alone again
I guess I'm tired of giving in
You've gone your way, you've made it clear
Why do I feel you everywhere?
Why do I feel this everywhere?
I can't have anything I want
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta
Watching the world go by
I think I'd rather die
And I don't got a plan
Don't wanna justify
To stay where I stand
Something I won't deny
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone if I gotta
I can't have anything I want
They say I'm just too young
But it's not my fault
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
I'll make it all alone
24 hours
24 hours
24 hours
"Our first ever instant star is..." the announcer was drawing out the process making it unbearable as Eden and I were carefully scrutinized by the crowd. "JUDE HARRISON!" when my name finally made since I started to jump up and down uncontrollably with kat and Jamie. Over the crowd I could here them chanting 'you did it" and 'great job'. That was without a doubt the best night of my life.
That next morning I had to get up super early to sign the contract at G - major for a 3 album deal.
"You know what, I always knew this would happen. You said it yourself I'm known to be physic." Jamie was saying as we waited for Georgia the owner to get out of a meeting. "Of course Jamie, you just knew all along that I would win some cheesy TV talent search." I quipped sarcastically. "You know what I mean Jude." I did know what he meant but I like to push buttons. I was ready to retort with a smart comment when Georgia finally emerged from her office, with none other than 'Little Tommy Q' ex-boy bander and all the reasons I hated music wrapped into a rather appealing six foot perfectly styled hair gorgeous blue eye perfectly sculpted everything and I do mean everything into one delish looking man.
"And there's are very own instant star. You travel light Jude." Georgia noted realizing the absence of my parents. I shrugged "I like to do things independently." she stiffened slightly at the comment. "I understand she said. And who might this be." she motioned to Jamie. He offered his hand announcing his self as 'my people'. "Nice to meet you." Georgia said politely. There was a shorter woman standing next to Georgia and Quincy, she introduced her self as EJ. My first impression of her was that she was quick to lay into people. "Jude as you probably know there were other contestants Eden for example that are more qualified to become a pop star..." I cut her off before she could finish. "Well I'm not a pop star I'm a song writer." I had a feeling that EJ was ready to rip me into little tiny bits thankfully Georgia ran intervention. "Which is exactly why you won. I think your music is great and with the right producer it could be phenomenal." Georgia interjected smoothly.
"Sounds great, so who would that producer be?" she stiffened slightly again. She moved to the side so that I could see Tommy doing something with his crack berry. Jamie laughed. I elbowed him in the side for being rude but in all honesty I wanted to laugh to. I would fight this guy on everything he suggested so it was to me at least highly comical. "Whats so funny pencil neck?" Tommy shot at Jamie who immediately shut his yap. Like a good little nerd. "Not a thing." he said hurriedly. "That's what I thought." Tommy responded never taking his eyes of the screen of his phone.
"Jude, right?" he asked finally lifting his head from the phone. I nodded trying not to jump this man in the lobby."Well show me what ya got." he pointed toward the space labeled studio A. half a minute into my song he stopped me. He came into the sound booth."Jude you need to pick up the tempo. The slowness is boring." well that hurt. I thought wincing slightly. He took my guitar and started the song again but with faster straight quartered notes. To be honest I actually liked it. "Alright now sing." he instructed starting over. I sung along this time only to be stopped again. "That's better. But whats with the lyrics. I mean who is 'we'?" he asked reading over the lyrics. "Its about me and my friend Jamie." I said pointing through the glass. "We don't care about your friend Jude. We care about you and the lyrics need serious work." well there went my somewhat respectable impression of the guy."Sorry to burst your bubble, but I like the lyrics just the way they are." I retorted going to full on smart-ass mode. "To bad so sad they need work." I couldn't believe he challenged me on it. No one ever challenged me on my music. No one. Before I could get out another word Jamie came into the booth. "Uh, Jude remember we have to go...do that thing for kat." I was thankful for the distraction. I looked at Tommy to get the okay to leave he shook his head adding to the torture I planned to put him through. Luckily Georgia came on through the inter-com,"That's enough for today Jude you can go."
I nodded as Jamie and I walked out the door.
Later that day at school my sisters demonic group of friends decided that since I won the contest I was 'fit' to be apart of their group, so I walked with them as the bombarded me with questions. "So are you like, rich now?" one friend asked. Before I could answer Sadie cut in. "Please all she got was some pathetic signing bonus. If it had been me I would have gotten way more money and a longer contract." I was tired of her taking my little bit of happiness and dragging it through the mud so I got harsh. "Well seeing as to the fact that you cant sing a tune in a bucket you cant play guitar and you didn't win, you can take your delusional day dreams and shove them." Jamie and kat had joined us by then and they halted in laughter. "You know just because your older doesn't give you the right to be a bitch!" Sadie screamed at me. "You can take it, besides your only a year younger. The older sister card doesn't really work anymore sades." she stormed off with her friends. I had a goofy smile on my face until Andrews ruined it. "That was cruel. The first bit was funny but Jude you are older and she has a point." I snickered. "Your only saying that cause your hopelessly in love with her." he muttered something under his breath.
After school kat dragged me to the tabloid center as she liked to call it. She got a copy of talk weekly and began to read, stopping to show me a picture of my producer. "So?" she asked as if I wee supposed to pick up on it immediately. "So, what?" she grunted. "What do you think of that fine piece of man-candy you got for a producer?" I knew that line of questioning was coming but not that soon. To evade delving into the subject of baby blue eyes I said, "What do you think?" in a suggestive tone to get her to ease off the subject. Of course it only made her more curious. She was about to ask another question as she opened the door leading to the front of the school but was cut off by the principal signaling the marching band to start playing.
I thought I would have a brain aneurism. The principal congratulated me as shots for the school news paper were taken. I was fairly sure he had more to say, thankfully I was loved by a higher power though because a blue viper with white stripes caught my eyes with none other than blue eyes himself he motioned for me to come over."Sorry, but I have to go to work." I said trying to get away from the principal. He stood aside to let me pass only for me to be interrupted mid stride by Jamie. "Hey Jude can I talk to you about Sadie?" I really didn't want to go there so I made up an excuse. "Sorry big scary producer person needing me like now." I said pointing at Tommy who looked everything but scary at the moment. "Oh, okay later then." I saw hurt flit across his face but left anyway.
"Little Tommy Q at school? Never pegged you for the type." he ignored me. "Really though why are you here?" he looked around him self as if the answer was clearly before me. "For one I'm rescuing you. For two I scored you an appearance at the vinyl palace. So that leaves us two day to work on your song." wow the vinyl palace! Id never even been inside! "Really! Wow you are so awesome right now!" I started shrieking. "Okay would you calm down please? Lets go." I had forgotten about the lyrical disagreement so I stopped just short of getting in. "Where are we going?" I asked ready to protest. "Some where you cant walk out on me." I liked the sound of that idea too much for my own good. So I played it cool shrugged and got in. about ten minutes later we were at the docks in what was my favorite place in the world to be. I thought it was unfair that he brought me here not knowing that it was the best thing he could have done to get me to cooperate with him. We got out the the car and started straight to work. "That's great and all Harrison, but you still haven't touched the lyrics." he pointed out the obvious just like me I didn't like it. "I told you I liked the lyrics." I was really grasping at straws to make Jamie happy he really didn't want the song changed. "And I told you that we don't care about your friend." damn it. How did he do that. "Fine. Any suggestions?" he came over me and guided my hands along the guitar only making changes ever so often. By the end of the song I more or less agreed with his changes. He had a smirk on his face that absolutely burned me. "Don't say anything." I shot out before he could start a sentence. He threw his hands up with an innocent look on his face. "So are we on the same page?" he asked knowing the answer. Instead of talking I just nodded not liking defeat that I couldn't even argue.
That following Sunday it was the day to play the concert and I could find my boots. "Sadie." I breathed. I ran downstairs searching for her. I was about to lay into her but mom and dad were standing there so I cut it to short and polite. "Would you please stop taking my boots?" before she could respond my mom worry worry fuss fuss Victoria held up a tabloid page of me and Tommy at the lake his arm around me as he showed me chords to play with my song. "Okay, and?" I couldn't believe she was putting stock into a stupid magazine. "And that's all you can say is and?" I wasn't even thinking about her as she snapped my mind back into her ultimatum that was sure to follow what ever she was about to say. "Yeah, mom the guy is twenty years old. I'm only sixteen even if I were interested in him which I'm not that's a no no." she was surprised that I easily deflated her tirade. "Well then on that note, go do your thing." Sadie looked completely dumbfounded. I snatched my boots off her feet put them on and happily went out the door.
When I got to school I was the subject of whispers. And to top it off plastered to my locker were the shots of baby blue eyes and I. I ripped the pictures down grunting as I did so. Stupid tabloids. "S I'm guessing that's a lie then." I jumped at the sound of kats voice."Of course, if it wasn't you would know." she nodded then launched into what ifs. "You know its a shame its not true you guys are horribly cute together." I was shocked and annoyed that I liked the idea. "Kat, ease up on the coffee it might help with the delusions." she glared at me. "You know I'm right. Hes like a Johnny Depp sundae smothered in De Caprio sauce." she was totally right but I wasn't going to admit that."There's a line kat mentor/student. We don't cross that line." she looked disappointed so I obliged her slightly. "No matter how badly I want to tie that man to my bad and have a little fun." I said wriggling my eyebrows. That seemed to appease her. "I knew it." she whispered in victory.
"Hey, I was wondering if now was a good time to talk." Jamie said coming up behind us. I nodded as we walked off leaving kat behind. "I didn't know you had a thing for ex-boy banders." I blushed slightly punching Jamie in the shoulder. "I don't thank you very much. Now what do you want to talk about?" I knew he wanted to talk about his relationship with Sadie but I didn't. "Well about Sadie I was wondering if you could talk me up a bit maybe get her to consider me?" I was about to say no and call a quits but he wasn't unprepared. "I got you Joe Strummers guitar pick!" that was so not fair he knew I worshiped Joe. "Fine I'll see what I can do." he was elated he kissed my head and ran back into the building. "Great Jude what have you gotten yourself into now?" I asked my self frustrated.
3 hours later...
Tommy came into the dressing room of sorts to check on me I guess. I was still pouting over getting involved in Jamie's mess. "Can I have your autograph?" he asked jokingly. I just glared not gracing him with a response. "Whats wrong?" daaaamn it! How did he do that."Its Jamie." I said flatly. "He keeps getting me tied up in his little fantasy world with Sadie." he understood slightly better from the look on his face. "Well for what its worth I'm always here when you need to talk." it was a kind hearted thing to say considering we didn't know each other well enough for the whole lets be pals and talk sort of thing. "You know I think I actually like you Tommy Q." I said that and did the stupidest possible thing a teenager could do. I listened to my body, and planted a huge serious omega kiss right on Tommy's perfectly sculpted lips."Jude... your sixteen." why why why? Jeez I couldn't be more of an idiot why why why? "Yeah... I know I'm sorry sorry sorry! God I'm an idiot I cant be falling for you no I cannot be doing this." my rambling was cut off by EJ telling me to get my butt on stage. "As far as you know that never happened. Got it?" I eyed Tommy waiting for a response. He nodded and walked out. Great more drama had I caused because of hormones just freaking spectacular.
I went on stage and preformed my revised version of 24 hours and it was I have to say much better than the first. I rocked the stage talked a bit and flew out of that building like a bullet from a loaded gun. Anything to avoid baby blue eyes. But of course he can drive and he knows where I live so talking was inevitable. "Before you say anything Quincy it never happened and I don't know what your talking about." he nodded but proceeded to talk anyway. "Jude its not that your not attractive but your too young. I know the attractions there but we cant make that known or I'll be off your album in a heart beat. No more hormones. Got it." I smiled as I realized I hadn't made a complete idiot of my self for once. "Got it." I was about to ask what time he wanted me in the studio Monday but he cut me off saying"Bright and early."
