Ch.1 What happened last night?

(Jude's point of view)

I woke up in Mason's hotel room. My head was still pounding. I could only remember parts of the night before. I was currently wearing a long shirt of Mason's. I was pretty sure that Mason had to dress me. I felt bad for the guy I'm sure I didn't cooperate. I slowly got up feeling dizzy still. Mason was sitting at a table. He was reading the newspaper and drinking coffee. He handed me a cup and asked. "Morning Hon you okay?" "I really don't know Mas." I answered honestly.

Mason looked at me. He looked so worried. I wandered how badly I looked and what I was like last night. Before we could talk anymore there was a knock at the door. Jamie and Sadie were standing there looking concerned. Sadie rushed in and hugged me. "Hey baby sister are you okay? Sadie asked. I started to cry. The three of them say on the bed with me. I just cried into Sadie's shoulder. The night before events was slowly coming back to me. Jamie tried to hug me but I wouldn't let him touch me.

"Jude sweetie what happened last night?" Sadie asked. "Tommy left and I got drunk." I said sobbing. Jamie and Sadie both looked mad and shocked. "Is that all that happened Jude?" Sadie questioned me. "Isn't that enough." I cried out. Sadie hugged me tighter and said. "Yeah Jude that's plenty." "I've called and called him. He won't answer." I said almost choking from crying so hard.

Around noon Sadie, Jamie, and I headed home. Mason whispered to me before I left. "What happens on tour stays on tour unless you tell me other wise." I nodded to him and whispered. "Thank you Mason for everything." The drive seemed longer and I wasn't looking forward to facing Darius or my Dad for that matter.

My Dad was so angry at me for just taking off. He wouldn't even let me leave the house to go to G-Major. I really wanted to talk to Kwest. I was hoping he knew where Tommy was or at least had a way to contact him. I need Tommy. As the memories of the night were coming back I felt so scared. I was also embarrassed.

What if my family and friends found out what happened? What if the press and my fans find out? I sat asking myself the same questions over and over. I rolled up into a ball and cried myself to sleep. I woke up from a nightmare only to realize it was a memory. How could I let this happen to me? Why did this happen?

I picked up my cell phone and once again dialed Tommy's number. "This is Tom Quincy sorry I'm unable to answer your call leave me message and I'll get back to you." It beeped so I talked. "Tommy I need you please call me back." I said. Why isn't he answering his phone? When I need him the most he's no where to be found. Why did he leave? How could he leave me? Doesn't he know I love him? How could he do this to me?

Dad finally let me go to G-Major. Darius ushered me into his office. I saw everyone starring. I sat down across from Darius. Kwest come by the office and Darius motioned him in. Kwest closed the door behind him. "Jude you are a very lucky girl. You're number one so I'm going to let your little night off go. Now is there anything I need to know about your night off?" Darius asked.

"I honestly don't remember most of the night." I lied. Darius nodded. "Tommy is unreachable for a while I thought the two of you would want to know." Darius said to us. Kwest nodded first. Darius looked at me. I wanted to cry but I just nodded too. "Okay Jude you have an appearance tonight." "You got it D." I said trying to smile.

Darius finally let us leave. Kwest asked me to come with him to studio B. "Are you really okay Jude?" He asked. I frowned and said. "No I'm not I need Tommy." "I know Jude. I was shocked he just left. He was so excited about his date with you." Kwest said. "So was I Kwest." I admitted as I started to cry.

Kwest went to hug me but I dodged him. "Jude are you okay?" He questioned again looking more worried. "Um no but I really don't want to talk about it." I said. Kwest nodded but looked even more concerned. "If I hear from T I'll make sure he calls you." Kwest said. "Thanks Kwest for everything." I said. "No problem Superstar."

Portia interrupted us and said. "Jude it's time to find you something fabulous to wear." I nodded and tried to smile again. Portia picked out a short jean skirt and a black lacy blouse. As she helped me change she saw the bruises on me. "Jude, what happened?" She asked. "Um nothing I just fell down the stairs." I lied. "Okay honey we'll just get a longer skirt and top." She said clearly believing me.

My appearance went well. It was good I could just be natural on the stage. Since it was televised I hoped Tommy was watching. Even though I was really angry with him now. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have gotten drunk in the first place. But it was my bad decisions that made this happen not him. I logically knew that.

As soon as I was ready to go home Darius come and got me. "G-Major right now." Darius yelled at his driver. I was kind of mad because I wanted to go home. But, since Darius was so angry I didn't say a word. "D are you okay?" I asked softly. He didn't answer me. He looked so angry and seemed to be getting angrier by the minute. I couldn't figure out what I did. The appearance had went really well so I knew that wasn't it. When we arrived at G-Major he flew out of the car. He ran into the building with me trying to keep up. He rushed into his office. I followed him in. Then he went over and locked his door. Then he shut the blinds.

I was getting nervous. There was something strange going on. "Why in the hell didn't you tell me?" He screamed. I have no idea what he was talking about. What had him so upset? "What's wrong D? What did I do?" I asked in a normal voice.
