Chapter 1
"You really need to get up...come on...Jude!"
"Five more minutes Sadie, please?" Jude said pulling the blanket over herself.
"Jude, you said that an hour ago. It is 9:00 in the mourning, you have been like this all summer, please get up?" Sadie stated as she pulled the blankets from her sister.
Jude responded with an annoyed grunt, pulling the pillow to her face.
"Jude I am not kidding...Darius wants you down at the studio, you haven't been there in weeks. Lets go!" she said with as much enthusiasm as
she could muster, which was very little in these circumstances.
"Come on you love it there..."
"Not anymore, now please leave me alone...Sadie... just please" She pulled her blanket from Sadie's hands and rolled over.
"...Fine..."
Sadie walked from the room with a worried sigh. She reached for her cell, as she closed the door, and dialed a number that she had become all to familiar with in the past three months.
"Hey this is Tom Quincy, I'm not able to pick-up, you know what to do..."
Beep
"Tommy...this is another message from Sadie, I have sent you thousands in the past three months but this one is a little different, it is about Jude, she won't get out of bed...s-she
won't eat, did you know she skipped her release party...I am really w-worried...I am scared that she is going to really hurt herself, and I know it has something to do with you
leaving...Tommy, you need to come back, she needs you, we all do ok?...I don't know how to stress this any more...just when you get this please call me back..please..."
Beep
"...for Jude."
Flashbacks
Jude was standing in the lobby of G-major.
"First of all I am doing this as a favor to Georgia, I dont care about you or your wack contest...second, the name is Tom Quincy, don't you ever call me Little Tommy Q ever again."
"Sorry"
She was sitting on her front steps.
"Don't quit...cause you're it girl, you're the real thing...you're ever better."
Laying on girls bathroom floor at school
"I believe in you."
At her family's house in the country
"The attraction...mutual..."
At Shay's concert
"NO! Jude,..Go home get some rest.."
"Ok"
On the Darius's set of the "Waste my time" Video
"Ok...well..what if...hypothetically..this is my first real kiss...with someone who's...uh...who's kissing me back...I just..I want it to count you know."
"Then..hypothetically...it will but this won't be it..look..Jude a real kiss...it isn't the lips it's in the heart...and if yours isn't in this one with Shay...then it doesn't count."
"Thanks...Tommy."
In her Kitchen
"Wait...he lies to you, and I'm still the bad guy"
In the alley behind G-major
"I'm so tired of falling for guys that don't fall back...it hurts..."
"..Jude...I..."
"You all say the nicest things...you're so great...you're so nice...but none of you wanna date me...so you wanna help me Tommy...tell me what I do wrong...tell mewhy I'm so easy to give up..and maybe I can fix it?
"You areasking the wrong guy"
He grabs her for a mind-blowing kiss
"You should go Jude."
"Tommy don't..."
"...I'll see you inside...ok?...just go."
"...Ok..."
In Tommy's office
"Either I have to quit working with you, or I can stay, but we have to agree that, that kiss had never happed."
"No"
"Say it...Jude... say it"
"Ok...it never happened..ok"
Back stage after "Skin"
"That was an incredible song...Jude...not exactly how I meant to inspire you..."
"What do you want Tommy?"
"To apologize..for real this time..but hurting you is the last thing I ever wanted to do..."
"A lot of people have been saying that lately...Get over yourself..not everything is about you."
Slam door
In the studio
"What are you scared?"
"Pft...no"
"Oh Tommy thats so adorable"
"Okay so peform one of my songs, there just as yours as they are mine."
In the alley behind G-major(I think)
"You went behind my back, meddled in my past, there is no us...anymore Jude"
At her first albom release party
"Did you love her, Tommy, more than me?"
"You can't ask me that Jude."
"I'm asking"
"Jude, it is now 12:30pm. Darius called, he said that if you don't get down to the studio soon, you can find new management...Jude?...Jude?...JUDE?"
"WHAT...Sadie, I am not dead I just want to be left allone, why can't you just leave me alone."
"Jude...please, get up everyone is worried about you...please..just talk to me.."
"...Um...my last words to...T-tommy..." She stated in barely a whisper.
"Jude this is unhealthy, you..."
"Sadie I don't need a doctor, I just need to be left alone, ok?"
"..Ok..."
She quitely shut the door, and reached for her cell. This is becoming a habit.
"Hey this is Tom Quincy, I'm not able to pick-up, you know what to do..."
Beep
"Tommy...it's me Sadie again...I just left Jude and I think she is getting worse...so whatever you did to make this situation worse, undo...I know you Tommy, when it
comes to Jude you are a screw-up, and you are an ass, but she always forgives you...and..." Her anger rose as she talked. "What you did was beyond horrible, you just
left her...and the way you did was wrong...and...and...why did you even bother saying bye..." Her voice was becoming shakey as she continued. "Jude is worth so much
more than this...and you...you treated her...like garbage...but for some weird reason, she alway chose you...she was in love with you...and you loved her..."
Beep
"...so why?..."
Flashback
At Darius's boat party
"I can't even look at you right now.."
"...Tommy.."
Sitting in Tommy's viper
"This past summer, all I wanted to do was get back in the studio with you..I missed working with you, I just gonna say it..I missed...you...okay."
In the lobby of G-major
"Well, you better start de-frogging fast, we've got A sophmore albom to start...hmm...really does make it soft"
On the fireescape of her studio space
"Just promise me one thing...If the door in there is ever locked..."
"I'll just kick it down."
In her back yard, next to the rented hot tub.
"I trusted you.."
"I didn't do anything"
"You were the one I was supposed to be that I believed in.."
"...And I didn't do anything."
"Stop lying to me and go home."
Pushes him in the hottub (GO JUDE!)
Trapped in the "Crome Cat"
"When our lips touched and...but oh wait then you started dating my sister."
"What do you want me to do...Jude...huh?"
Sitting on the couch at the "Crome Cat"
"People they don't always see who you really are, but I need you to try. Believe me...in me...again."
"I want to but..."
"Sadie and me...we weren't right..."
"...Why?"
"...You know exactly why.."
"...yeah..."
"Jude...it is now 3:45pm, I wanted to see if you wanted to go out?...Maybe do some shopping, you are a senior this year, that calls for a wardrobe makeover...how
about it?..."
"No."
"Come on...Jude, you can not stay in this bed all day."
"Yes I can."
"Jude..."
"No...Sadie...why can't you just leave me alone."
"Because, you are my sister, and no matter how much you push and yell...I love you."
"Nice..." Jude stated with sarcasm
"I am worried about you, and so is everybody else. So you need to get up..NOW."
"NO. now go away Sadie." she said crying
"Jude...I...fine...go back to sleep." She retreated from the room with a look of both sadness and defeat.
"Hey this is Tom Quincy, I'm not able to pick-up, you know what to do..."
Beep
"It's me, Sadie, this is the last phone call I will ever make to you Tom Quincy..for the third time today I left my sister crying over you and that hurts. She doesn't
deserve to go through this, she deserves more than this...more than you...you hurt my baby sister, I used to beat up kids on the playground for hurting her, and I
really started out wanting to hurt you, but i have come to the conclusion, that you are not worth it...I just wanted to tell you...that she is gonna be fine..we are all
gonna be fine with out you..she may be hurting now but eventually that will fade, but you will have the rest of your life to regret it. We were the best things you ever
had...and you messed it up just like you mess up..."
Beep
"...everything..."
Flashback
Outside her house, after Tommy drops her, Speid, and Jamie off.
"I believe in you...Tommy"
In the studio
"So...you ready to do this."
"You ready to show me how it's done."
"There are so many inappropriate answers to that question."
"Don't..ok..I gotta focus."
"Ok..I got it."
In the studio
"It just doesn't feel right."
"It's romantic, it's got passion..."
"It's about you...when we were on tour, coming home and seeing you, was about all I could think, and I wanted to put those feelings away...to stay safe."
"Can you bring them back out again"
"Not with you staring at me like that"
In Darius' Office
"We did it"
Hug turns in to one hot make-out session.
Jude leaves Tommy dazed
Back in Tommy's office
"Sometimes you can be so twenty four.."
"I took a chance..sue me."
"Taking chances seems to be all the rage these days."
Back stage
"You're a good driver...much better than the time I let you drive my viper."
"I was just learning.."
"Learning really fast...and than really slow...and then really fast."
"I am gonna go backstage, where everyone knows, that Jude equals smooth."
"You want to go dinner."
"What!"
"Dinner..Let me..take you...to dinner...somplace nice."
At a restaurant
"I thought you weren'' gonna show...aren't you gonna sit?"
"I have to go...I don't think I'll be coming back."
"...Just...sit...talk to me."
"I got a flight to catch...bye"
"Tom?..Tom?..Tommy?...TOMMY?"
"Jude...hey...I brought you some pizza..I will leave it right here..." She put the plate on the nightstand and walked to the door
"Sadie...what am I gonna do? I'm lost without him"
"What do you mean, you aren't lost, you are the strongest girl I know, you sang you heart out when half the school walked out at your concert, you did it again while people threw
beer and toilet paper at you at the Shock FM concert, and you got in a car with Tommy numerous times. There is nobody out there who would risk his driving more than once."
The only reaction she got back were silent tears.
"Ok, not the best time for Tommy jokes...the point is with or without him, you still are the single strongest girl I know.."
"Thanks Sadie, but I still don't have it."
Sadie just stared at her baby sister as she sobbed into her pillow. She really was in love with him. Tommy where ever you are...you've crushed her.
For the fourth time that day she dialed the only number she could think of.
"Hey this is Tom Quincy, I'm not able to pick-up, you know what to do..."
Beep
"...This is like my zillionth message today, and I'm sure you know who it is and why I am calling...so I will cut to the chase ok? You are an Ass...and what you did was
wrong...Jude did not deserve this...nobody here did, and quite frankly..." she was cut off by a sob "...Y-you...know...all...of this...and I...can...say..it again...but I don't
think...it will...get..thro-ugh...so...I guess...all I have to...say is...you hurt her bad...and she was...dest-royed by it...you knew that...she was in...l-love with you and
you...no!...what I wanted to...say..is..un-unless you have...the best reason...for leaving...d-don't come back..."
Beep
"...ever..."
