"Jude?" Sadie shouted as she entered the Harrison house, kicking off her heels and dropping her bag next to the stairs.
"Upstairs!" Jude yelled back.
Sadie found Jude in her room, head inside the closet, throwing clothes out at an alarming pace.
"Um, Jude? What in the world are you doing?" Sadie said, dodging a shoe that came flying out towards her. She heard rustling, and Jude emerged from the closet, face red and hair all askew.
"Trying to pack for tour Sadie! How on earth am I going to fit everything I need into 2 suitcases?" Jude said, short of breath.
"Jude, sit, breathe, calm down. You have a week before you leave, there's no need to panic. You didn't have this much trouble last tour, what's going on?" Sadie said, sitting down on the floor next to Jude.
"Last tour I wasn't spending every day and night with my very attractive, very famous, very serious boyfriend Sadie!" Jude screeched, and Sadie winced at the noise level.
"But you guys spend almost every night together as it is, either here or at Tom's, so what's the issue? It's not like he hasn't seen you bleary eyed and with bed head in the morning."
"Sades, it's going to be like living together! But MORE intense! We will be together, 24/7, on a bus, with the guys. No escape from each other. What if something goes wrong? What if he decides my bad habits are too much? What if I can't deal with his potential breakdowns about hair gel and wrinkled clothes?" Jude replied, starting to hyperventilate.
"Jude. Look at me. CALM. DOWN. It's going to be fine! Tommy's been on so many tours I'm sure he's got a tour contingency plan for his hair issues, and yes, you are going to be together a lot, but you'll find time to take breaks if you need to. You'll have your own dressing room at all the venues, Tommy will be doing sound so he'll be busy during load ins and soundchecks. It's going to be ok, Jude, I promise."
Sadie grabbed Jude's hands and forced her to start breathing at a normal pace. She had just gotten her breath back when they heard the front door slam, and footsteps on the stairs.
Tommy appeared in the doorway, eyes widening at the sea of clothes and shoes surrounding the girls.
"Harrisons, what's going on here? Jude your room is a wreck."
"Just trying to find a shoe Tom, no big deal. Jude had a minor freak out, but we're all set now." Sadie rolled her eyes, replying for Jude.
"Yup, exactly, a shoe. But, here it is!" Jude said, standing up, grabbing the first piece of footwear she saw.
Tommy narrowed his eyes, knowing something was off, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Ok, well, I brought take out, so I'll just go downstairs and pull out some plates." Tommy said, and turned back through the door.
Jude sighed in relief and dropped the shoe on her bed.
