Our Unknown Love Chapter 1

Jude was driving home from the doctor's office and Bailey was asleep in his car seat at the back of her Mustang. Tears were descending from her eyes as she began to reminisce about her life and Bailey.

Jude never really had good luck when it came to meeting guys. Her dad allowed her to date when she turned 16, not being allowed to date was not a problem. Jude was beautiful with her golden blonde hair with chestnut highlights, beautiful blue-green eyes, and a flattering figure. It just happened that the guys she met were just, well…"assholes" as she best described them. That's when she decided to focus on her passion, music, when she was given the opportunity of a lifetime.

6 years ago…

When Jude was old enough to date which was at 16 and her dad allowed her to, she started working as an artist at G-Major. How was she discovered you ask. Her older sister Sadie had been working as an assistant at G-Major, a recording label in Toronto. At that time she was also dating Kwest who was a sound engineer and producer. Sadie had Kwest over to meet her dad and Jude; they had been dating for about a month already. Sadie was in the kitchen with her dad preparing dinner and Kwest was making conversation with Stuart. Jude had not met Kwest yet and was out in their backyard strumming a few chords on her guitar and singing…

"Your Eyes" by Alexz Johnson

If I was drowning in the sea, Would you dive right in and save me?

If I was falling like a star, Would you be right there to catch me?

If I was dreaming of your kiss, Oooo, Would you look right through me?

Bridge

Ohh, I……On the street I'm waiting

Ohh, I……..(And) In my heart it's raining

Chorus

Your eyes - are holding up the sky

Your eyes - make me weak, I don't know why

Maybe, your eyes make me scared to tell the truth

I thought my heart was bullet-proof

Now I'm dancing on the roof

And everybody knows - I'm into you

Oooo, I'm into you

When Kwest heard the voice he asked, "Excuse me. Mr. Harrison, but who is that singing." "Oh, that's Jude Sadie's younger sister. Have you met her yet?" "No, I haven't. She has a wonderful voice." "Thank you Kwest and yes she does. She's been singing since she was 4 years old and playing the guitar since 5." "Oh, sorry Kwest, let me introduce you to her I guess I didn't realize she was home already." Sadie said and led Kwest to the backyard where Jude was. "Hey Jude!" Sadie said and Jude glared at her. "Oops, sorry Jude. Jude this is Kwest my boyfriend, Kwest my sister Jude." "Hi! Nice to meet you!" Jude greeted while extending her hand out to shake and Kwest accepted replying, "Nice to meet you too!" "You two get to know each other and I'll call you when dinner's ready." "Thanks!" They both said.

"So Jude, your dad says you've been singing since you were 4?" Kwest asked taking a seat on the steps of the porch. "Yea pretty much." "Do you like it?" "No. Actually I love it! I love music!" Jude exclaimed. "What else do you do?" "Well other than sing, write my own lyrics, I play the guitar, piano but I'm not very good at it and drums but just to mess around. I have a band that I sing with, SME, we play at school at sometimes we get gigs at clubs or bars. It's just to earn some extra money, so maybe one day we can record a demo." "Really. Wow! So have you thought about singing professionally?" "Yea all the time! But like I said we're trying to earn money so we can get studio time to make a demo. Getting studio time is really expensive." "Yes it is. But what if I were to tell you that I maybe able to get you free studio time?" "Shut! Up! Are you serious?! That would be so great!" "Look, here's my card. Why don't you and your band come to my work on Friday after you get off school?" Jude takes the card in her hand and is in awe of what she read. "You work for G-Major and you're a producer?" "Ya, I'm one of many producers that we have there." "Kwest I don't know what to say." Jude moved towards him and gave him a tight hug and said, "Thank you so much!" "No problem. So far from what I've heard, you're really good." "Thanks," is all Jude could say still getting over the shock of what just happened.

Since that faithful day, Jude's life had never been the same. Jude finally arrived at her home. Since she had turned 18, she decided to buy her own house. She wanted to live on her own so she could be more independent and make decisions without anyone butting in. It's not that she didn't love her dad, Sadie or Kwest who had become like a brother, she just felt like to needed to grow on her on her own, make mistakes and learn from them and she couldn't do that if she lived with her dad and her big sister.

As soon as Jude entered her house, she walked to Bailey's room to put him into his bed so he could continue his nap. She kissed the top of his head being careful to not wake him then stepped out back to the family living room. She got on her cell phone to call her one best friend who was always there for her, who knew her better than she knew herself, he watched and allowed her to grow into the woman that she is today and even though they were only friends he loved her unconditionally…Tommy Quincy. "Hi Jude! How was Bay's doctor's appointment?" Tom answered. "Hey Tom….," she replied but could speak no further. Her breath became shaky, tears began to fall and Tom knew something was wrong as he heard the sniffles through the phone. "Jude, baby what's wrong?" He asked with concern. Jude tried to control her sobs but it was just too hard, "Tommy, Bailey's sick," is all she said. From the sadness he detected in her voice, Tom's heart began to ache, "Just stay there sweetie, I'm on my way," he said and immediately hung up without a goodbye. After hanging up with Tom, Jude started to feel a little better know that Tommy was going to be there for her and Bailey just as he always had been from the day she met him, to the day he was born and till now.
