After Alexz and Sadie came up with a plan on how to break the news to Jude they decided to head back down stairs before the others became too suspicious. The pair quietly crept down stairs so not to draw attention to themselves and unwanted questions. As they neared the bottom of the stair case Alexz looked to her left to make sure no one was in the lounge but what she saw was completely unexpected. Alexz frozen which was quickly followed by Sadie who noticed what had her niece so surprised. Opposite the girls stood 3 very confused individuals. Jude, Tommy and Kwest had all heard the shouting and screaming. Unable to take the silence a very worried and confused Jude finally spoke.
"Is everything alright we heard the screaming"
Not sure how to respond Alexz finally opened her mouth to reply after her mothers question had finally sunk in.
"Umm...yeah everything is fine...Sade and me were just umm happy because" not knowing what else to say she nudged Sadie with her elbow to say something.
"Yeah right...we were happy because ...umm Alexz here got an A on ...her French exam ...I helped her study for it." A nervous Sadie blurted out.
"Well that great girl see I knew you could pass if you studied" responded a proud Tommy who stepped forward and hugged Alexz.
The look of worry on Jude's and Kwest's faces quickly changed to grins
"Well done honey I'm so proud" beamed a thrilled Jude
"Yeah congrats Al" an also thrilled Kwest replied.
As everyone one came up to congratulate her Alexz couldn't help but feel even more guilty she had just lied to everyone to cover what she was really hiding. Could her night get any worse?
"Well dinners ready in the dining room" announced Jude
"Bout time I'm starving" Kwest replied with an goofy grin
As everyone filed into the dining room Jude and Tommy were the last to leave. As they began to head to the dining room Tommy walked up behind Jude and put his arm around her waist pulling her in to him he placed a kiss on the top of her head she looked up at him with her big blue eyes and returned the favour by kissing him softly on the lips. Once they reached there destination the pair separated to take there seats. Even after 15 years Tommy still always gave Jude her special look when ever he would look at her.
Sunday dinner at the Harrison Quincy household was never usually a quiet affair. Sadie, Alexz and Jude would all sit down one ended gossiping like best friends. While Kwest and Tommy would sit down the other talking about the artists they working with. However tonight was different Alexz and Sadie had barely said anything apart from the occasional one word answer. Jude was getting fed up with the silence she knew there was something more going on with these two then they were letting.
"Alright you two what is going on" A frustrated Jude sighed.
"Nothing's going on Mum "a defensive Alex replied
"Don't give me that. You and Sadie have barely spoke since coming down stairs and neither of you will look me in the eye so which one of you is going to tell me what is going on" A now clearly angry Jude spat out.
Both Alexz and Sadie looked each other neither knowing what to say. Tommy and Kwest had Stopped there conversation after hearing Jude's angry rant. Finally Alexz let out a sigh it was time to tell the truth.
" Mum, Dad I have meeting with Darius tomorrow morning to discuss the recording contract he is offering me" A nervous but calm Alexz blurted out to table filled with stunned face apart from Sadie who had a proud grin spread across her face.
After there daughters word had finally sunk in both Tommy and Jude responded at the same time
"WHAT" the pair shouted
"Hold up how Darius can even offer you a contract with out hearing you sing "a Confused Jude retorted.
"Well actually that's were I come in" Spoke up Sadie who had been practically invisible until now "Alexz showed me her demo and I had to show it to Darius. Well anyways to cut a long story short he loved it and wants to see Alexz and her parents in his office tomorrow. Sadie firmly stated to Jude and Tommy.
Jude was left speechless by her sister's involvement in the whole situation. Tommy on the other hand was no longer calm. He had stood up and was glaring at Alexz with eyes like Daggers and a tighten Jaw.
"You said you wanted to record that song for a friend you lied to me" Bellowed an angry Tommy at Alexz.
Before Alexz had chance to respond she was interrupted by Jude.
"You let her use the basement studio even after we agreed not to" fired up an angry Jude.
"She asked if she could record something for friend I didn't know she was using it as a demo"
"That's not the point we agreed"
"Juuudddddddeeeeee" whined a tense Tommy
Unable to take her parents bickering Alexz decide it was time to cut in.
"Guys"
"What"
"Can I do the record or not"
Tommy and Jude finally remembered why they were arguing and looked to each other for an answer to there daughters question.
Tommy finally spoke still not entirely sure what to say.
"Well we...
Sorry to leave you guys hanging wasn't sure when to end it promise you will find out there decision next time until then read and review who knows there may be a new chapter by tomorrow.
