Alright here are the next chapters. Please be kind and review each chapter separately :D
Jude didn't go to school much for the next couple of days. With everyone's constant talk of Amelia, who would wanna go. Speed knew something was up. He knew it ever since she told him he wasn't needed at the studio.
"Tommy, why can't I get this song down," Jude groaned.
"Because you haven't talked to Speed in four days," Tommy said. He grabbed a piece of licorice and bit a piece off.
"He's probably out with Amelia," Jude said.
"Fine I'll call him for you," Tommy said, pulling out his phone.
"Quincy don't you dare," Jude said. He scrolled down to Speed's name and clicked send.
"Tommy, hey," Speed said.
"Hey Speed, what have you been up to? I haven't seen you around the studio in a few days," Tommy said. He put the phone on speaker.
"Well Jude told me I wasn't needed and I haven't been seeing her at school, so I've been hanging out with Aims," Speed said.
"You've been hanging out with this Amelia chick a lot," Tommy said.
"She is so awesome, like I can just sit around for hours just talking to her, and never run out of things to say," Speed said. Jude frowned. That's how they used to be. Used to.
"Ah so my little Speed is falling hard again?" Tommy asked. Jude's anxiously awaited his answer.
"Well, she's nice, but I really w-" Speed said before Tommy took him off of speaker.
"Yeah I agree. But that's just my opinion," Tommy said.
"What did he say?!" Jude exclaimed.
"Is that Jude?" Speed asked.
"Yeah, you wanna talk to her?" Tommy asked.
"I think she's mad at me and I don't know why. So uh, I'm gonna get back to playing this game with Aims. She's so beating me at DDR," Speed said.
"Alright man, I'll talk to you later," Tommy said. Jude held her hand out.
"What?" Tommy asked.
"You asked him if he wanted to talk to me," Jude said.
"He's playing DDR," Tommy said.
"He doesn't wanna talk to me?" Jude asked.
"Nope," Tommy said. He knew not telling her the whole story was wrong, but he needed her to come to her senses.
"Oh," Jude said. She blinked a few times before going back to writing her song.
"How about this," Jude said, singing a few lines of the song.
"It's not good Jude. Look, take the night off, go to school, and come back when you've talked to Speed," Tommy said.
"He doesn't wanna talk to me Tommy," Jude said.
"He will," Tommy said.
"Fine. How am I getting there?" Jude asked.
"Sadie's here. She'll take you," Tommy said.
"Tommy," Jude groaned.
"Jude I hate when that you're being like this. So what Speed has a new friend? You told him you didn't want a relationship. So you're gonna have to deal with him not having only one friend," Tommy said.
"Its not that, I just feel, I feel like, never mind," Jude said.
"Jude, sleep on it. Seriously. Anything you tell me isn't going to help you feel better," Tommy said.
"Fine, I'll go home," Jude said. When she got there, she could see into Speed's room. He and Amelia were sitting on his bed, laughing about something.
"Never knowing when it's over and I'm going down. And that's how I feel," Jude sang to herself. She started humming the tune to her song that she'd written over the summer.
She was so into editing it and creating a new tune that she didn't even realize that she wasn't alone in her room. It was becoming an everyday event, people coming into her room while she sang.
"That was amazing!" Amelia exclaimed.
"Uh, thanks," Jude said.
"Dude, that's that song you sang to me," Speed said.
"Yeah, well I felt like it needed a change. Tommy sent me home, since everything I've been coming up with lately has been crap," Jude said.
"Maybe you should write about something else," Amelia said.
"I haven't showed Tommy this song. Actually, you're the only person who's heard this one," Jude said to Speed.
"And now me too!" Amelia said.
"Well we just came over, because I haven't talked to you in days, and she was over at my house so she said she wanted to come too," Speed said.
"Well Tommy said you didn't wanna talk to me," Jude said.
"I never said – Aims, can I talk to Jude really quickly," Speed said.
"I guess so," Amelia said, walking out of the room. Speed turned on Jude's radio to drown out their conversation.
"I never said that. I said that you were mad at me for some reason, and I didn't know. I was playing DDR anyway so I said I had to go," Speed said.
"I wasn't mad at you," Jude said.
"So why else have I not been in the studio for days?" Speed questioned.
"Alright I was a little mad. But I didn't know why, so I kinda didn't know what to say," Jude said.
"That's all Tommy told you right?" Speed questioned.
"Yeah, why? Keeping secrets from me Vin?" Jude asked.
"As always Harrison. Let me tell Amelia she can come in," Speed said.
"Wait, hug first," Jude said. Speed wrapped his arms around Jude and she smiled. Jude kind of wanted to open the door while she was still hugging Speed, to show Amelia who he liked the most.
"Amelia, you can come in," Speed said through the door, not letting go of Jude.
"Alright, well now that you two have made up, can we go and finish our game?" Amelia asked.
"Uh, sure. Dude, you wanna join us?" Speed asked. Amelia gave Jude a look that said "don't you dare."
"I never pass up DDR, Speed," Jude said, challenging her. She saw past her fakeness.
"Just making sure you haven't changed in the past few days. Come on, I'll give you a piggy back ride," Speed said. Jude jumped onto his back and he managed to run downstairs and all the way to his house.
After the game, Speed walked Amelia home and Jude went back to her house. She called Tommy.
"Little Tommy Q," Jude said.
"I thought we agreed to never call me that again," Tommy said.
"Yes well I'm calling with bueno news. I made up with Spiederman, so I'm ready to get back into the studio," Jude said.
"Is that how you really feel?" Tommy asked.
"Did you just waste your breath asking me how I feel today, or do you really wanna know," Jude sang.
"I wanna know," Tommy said.
"I'm completely unconnected, constantly rejected, like everything I've ever loved is coming down. I'm drowning in emotion in the middle of the ocean, never knowing when it's over and I'm going down. That's how I feel," Jude continued singing.
"That's really good Jude. Is that what you've been working on?" Tommy asked.
"Well I wrote it during the summer, but I've been working on it tonight," Jude said.
"Alright. I'll be picking you and Speed up from school tomorrow then?" Tommy asked.
"Uh sure, let me call him. Make sure he hasn't made plans with Aimsy-poo yet," Jude said.
"Jude, why don't you invite her," Tommy asked.
"Because she sucks balls, that's why," Jude said.
(A/n: that's a Kris Lemche quote by the way. "Wow this really sucks balls." If you don't know Kris Lemche, you should)
"Jude," Tommy warned.
"No I'm serious. I had the worst time tonight, playing DDR with her and Speed. She hates me, I hate her, jeez," Jude said.
"Fine, well just call Speed," Tommy said. Jude hung up and dialed Speed's number.
"Vin, are you coming with me to the studio tomorrow?" Jude asked when he answered.
"Uh when?" Speed asked.
"During school, like we always do," Jude said.
"Um, yeah," Speed said.
"Am I interrupting something?" Jude asked.
"I gotta go," Speed said, hanging up. Jude stared at her phone in disbelief. She just got hung up on for Amelia.
"Yeah Tommy, he's coming," Jude said.
"Why do you sound so sad?" Tommy asked.
"He just hung up on me. For her," Jude said.
"Maybe he was busy," Tommy said.
"Well he couldn't even tell me what he was doing. He just was like I gotta go and he hung up," Jude said.
"I'm sure he has a reasonable explanation for this. But either way, he's allowed to be busy, you're not his girlfriend, remember that Jude," Tommy said.
"Yeah fine whatever," Jude said.
"I'm serious. Anywho, I gotta go, Sadie's on her way over," Tommy said.
"Alright, bye," Jude said, hanging up. She stared at the paper with her song on it and decided to change it up even more.
"What you up to Red?" Speed asked.
"Finishing this song," Jude said.
"Can I help?" Speed asked.
"I don't need any," Jude said.
"Jude," Speed said.
"I'm serious. I wanna finish this song by myself. I'll see you tomorrow," Jude said.
"Can I at least hear it?" Speed asked.
"Sure," Jude said, sighing. She pulled out her guitar and started playing a few chords.
"Hey you changed it!" Speed said.
"Yeah," she mumbled.
"You know what would sound great? A piano," Speed said. He walked over to the keyboard Tommy gave her and started playing with her.
"Jude this is amazing," Speed said when they were done.
"Thanks. So what were you doing that you had to hang up on me for?" Jude asked.
"Amelia, uh, she was telling me something. Jude, did you say something bad to her?" Speed asked.
"What? No," Jude said.
"She said that you were really rude to her when I left the room," Speed said.
"I didn't say anything to her," Jude said.
"You promise? Because the both of you mean a lot to me, and I would love it if you would get along," Speed said.
"She means a lot to you? You've known her for like three weeks," Jude said.
"It only took a few days for you to mean a lot to me," Speed said, smiling.
"Well, don't I feel special," Jude said. It didn't take long for Speed to become close to girls, Jude could see.
"No, I didn't mean it like that. Dude, Sarah, she really hurt me. You know that. But you know how quickly I let you in? So don't think that Amelia's your replacement or anything, because you mean everything to me. I would drop her if you told me to," Speed said.
"Awh, Speed you didn't have to go into detail like that," Jude said, hugging him.
"I just wanted to make sure we were clear," Speed said. He kissed Jude on the forehead and the two of them lay on her bed and watched movies until they fell asleep.
Speed's sweet :) Alright Review and go on to the next chapter!
