This is kind of a mini filter chapter. The plot does progress a little bit in this one though..I promise it will get better if you stick with me through this! Love you XoXo
The unforeseen future, unpredictable, exciting, mysterious. It seems as if there was wicked hags sitting on a magic cloud cutting strings and twisting strings, fating together those who aren't meant to be together to cause total destruction and chaos.
I blame these hags, evil, wicked ugly hags, for the reason Sadie and Tommy, clearly not meant for each other, on a date right now.
I pulled the black and white newspaper down a little. Looking underneath my dark sunglasses at them. I know what you're thinking, but I'm not purposely stalking him.
I suppose the fact I'm wearing an all black trench coat, sunglasses and a wig. Pretending to read a newspaper, so my face is covered. Going to a diner and only ordering a cup of coffee seems strange.
I have a reason, I just haven't thought of it yet.
I leaned in and hear Sadie giggled and twirled her soft blonde hair, batting her eyelashes and giving an inviting smile. Tommy smiled in response.
Crap, I missed what they said. That's what I get for having an inner monologue.
I strained my ears, taking a sip from my pale coffee mug.
"So Tom" Sadie leaned into Tommy, reaching for his hands. Forcing them on top of his.
She said something in Italian.
Tommy gave a flirty smile. I almost broke my coffee mug.
Would I dare admit to myself that I might-want that to be me-just a little?
Don't tell anybody.
If this was a fairytale, I wonder who I'd be-the princess or the witch? Maybe just the jealous sister.
I can live with only being friends with the prince.
I dropped my coffee mug. It fell on the floor with a loud crash. It shattered into glazed white pieces of cooked clay against the marble, swimming in a puddle of hot coffee.
Everyone, including Tommy and Sadie turned to look at me. I slide down in my chair hoping I had a recent radio active accident I forgot about that would suddenly give me the power to turn invisible at will.
"Sorry." I said as the bus boy rushed over to clean it up, and the waitress gave me another coffee.
"What a klutz." Tommy said
"I think that klutz is my sister..Jude!" Sadie jumped up, a fierce look of anger in her eyes.
Well, time to make my exit.
I slid out of the booth. Not even bothering to look at them, I half ran towards the back door, only to be stopped by running into a waiter returning half empty glasses and plates to the kitchen. It spilled on top of me, I slipped on something and fell straight onto my back. Someones lemonade fell on my face.
I could feel everyone's eyes on me, but I was afraid to look at them.
I'm such an idiot..
"You're such an idiot.." Strange..the voice in my head is starting to sound like Sadie.
I opened my eyes and saw Sadie looking down on me. I stood up bringing the broken plates and empty cups with me and stuffing them onto the waitresses tray.
"I'm really sorry about that." I gave the poor waitress a small smile as she walked away scowling at me.
"Ah Jude, gonna explain why your here? Dressed like that?" Sadie gave me a look, I ignored it.
"I-i-i" I stuttered, than saw what looked to me a miracle. Speed was walking into the diner at that very moment. I thought on my feet.
Tommy stared at me from the table with a white coffee cup almost to his mouth. I could see him wearing multiple rings on his strong hands. His blue eyes looking at me with a nonchalant almost casual stare. A smug grin tickling the corner of his mouth.
"for your information.. I was waiting for speed.." I said with a smirk pointing him out. Past the family walking in at the moment, and to the cute dude wearing a Nirvana t shirt. Sadie turned around and saw my messy haired guitar player. He hadn't noticed us yet.
"Dressed like that?" she pointed at my little get up.
"Well, me and Speed are going to a costume party, god Sadie you really think the world revolves around you?"
"Wheres his costume?" Sadie rolled her eyes at me.
"I don't have time to explain to you" I gave her a look. The same look she gave earlier-the 'you idiot' look. Hopefully, she believed my brilliant acting.
"Now excuse me,Speed and i have to go-Sadie" I gave a brief nod towards Tommys table.
"Tommy" .
I walked away as fast as I could bare while being casual. When I got to Speed he looked at me and opened his mouth.
"Jud-" he started, but I pulled him out the door before he could say anything.
Once outside the sun blinded my eyes as I squinted into the sky. It was a perfect sunny day. With a few fluffy white clouds of course. The cars race by at the busy intersection.
"What was that about? I want something to eat!"
"You can't eat there-eat somewhere else today."
"But-Jude!" I silenced him by stuffing some dollar bills into his palm. He looked down at the green paper in his hands than shrugged and walked towards the burger king across the street.
I sighed with relief and quickly started walking back to the studio to work a little.
I almost got caught..or they did catch me. I walked out of that situation with some dignity I think.
I saw a couple little kids point at me and giggle as they rid by on their tricycles.
I looked down at myself, I was still covering in food and my wing has stiffened up from lemonade and lost all smooth shiny texture.
Well at least no one would recognize me this way.
