So this is a new creation I have been working with…it's about Jude learning that her life has basically all been a lie and Tommy helping her find the truth…even if he isn't supposed to tell her anything for reasons that will become known. Jude is 20 and Tommy is 26 and the best in his business. Jude still has her red hair but it isn't stick straight like in the show- it's curly. Georgia is her aunt…and that's all I'm gonna say on that subject. Tommy is working undercover as drama unfolds…The first chapter is only the intro and Tommy will come in by the second…hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I do not in any way own Instant Star or its characters but I do claim the right to my little storyline!!
Jude Harrison was an aspiring singer/songwriter. And in the small town located in northern Nevada where she lived, she was even thought of as a sort of legend. Blue Rivers was a town that held maybe 200 people at best, but Jude loved it there. After her parents had died in a car crash 18 years earlier, she had been brought up by her aunt who showered her with praise and love. But at 20 years old, Jude was restless to get out of the small town and make it in the big city. She was planning to go to L.A. and find a record label that might take her under their wing. Of course, there was the problem that the town itself might not let her go.
"Jude, please be reasonable. L.A. is such a big place, what if you get lost? Who will you turn to if something happens? I'll be worried sick if you get hurt without me there to help…" Jude's aunt, Georgia, went on and on as Jude continued to block her out. Yes, she knew that it would be different living in a place that was bigger than any city she had ever seen. Heck, she had only been outside of Forest County maybe five times in her entire life. Despite all that against her, Jude was ready for a change. She wanted to prove that she was ready to face the world.
"-Jude? Are you listening to me? You don't know what kind of danger there is out there. Not all places are like Blue Rivers and you won't be surrounded by people who have known and loved you since you were born-"
"Auntie, please! I know what I'm getting into and I'm ready. You can't keep me here forever. Even you said I was born to sing, and if I want to make my dreams come true you have to let me do this!" Jude waited for her aunt's reaction, half proud that she had gotten her point across, and half apprehensive at what Georgia would say.
After a moment, the older woman let out a sigh. "You're right, honey. I gotta let you loosen up those wings and fly sometime, and now's as good a time as ever. C'mere and give your favorite aunt a hug."
"Only aunt," Jude replied in a cracked whisper. It was an ongoing comment between the two of them. As she threw her arms around the woman who had cared for her since the day her parents had died, tears formed in her eyes, flowing down her cheeks as the official moment of separation approached.
"You take care of yourself, and don't hesitate to call if you need anything. Anything, ya hear? Now you go out there and show those big hotshot record producers what you're made of. I don't want you to come back here unless you've got a flock of reporters chasing you along the way." Georgia gave her niece one last hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Jude slowly pulled from her embrace, wiping her face and trying to put on a smile. She knew it would be hard to leave, but not this hard. "Cmon, Jude Harrison. You can do this." She thought to herself, as she walked out the front door of the house that had been her home for the past eighteen years. She took one last look at her aunt standing on the porch, and gave a little wave. Then she got into the front seat of her car, took a deep breath, and roared the engine to life. "L.A., here I come," she thought as she drove into sunset.
So that is the first chapter…Please review…I would love to hear anyone's opinions…as long as they're not too harsh!! Thanx!
