Jude turned back to her sister with a bright, teasing smile, Alex immediately frowned and shook her head.
Alex: No, you cant tell anyome Jude!
Jude: I wont
Alex: I mean it! Not SME, not Jamie, not Tommy, not Sadie, not anyone!
Jude: (holding hands up in surrender) Okay, okay. I promise Alex
Alex: (sighs) Thanks
Jude: Does anyone know?
Alex: You and me
Jude: Not Sam?
Alex: With her obsessing over Ian it would just cause problems and besides, our friends Megan and Brokke fight over Tyler everyday. And yheah I have an attitude but not with my friends and not at school, and I don't wanna ruin that
Jude: … So you don't want to like the same guy as two of your friends?
Alex: Yes. And how cliché is it that my best friend is obsessing over the best friend of the guy I like?
Jude: Very
Alex: Exactly!
Jude: Okay, okay, I get it. But seriously, you have good tast
Alex: Not really.
Jude: What?"
Alex: (sighs) Him and all his friends, including female, are known for "using and abusing", and cheating, and drinking a lot … and being total jerks. They just don't have a good rep
Jude: Is because of whats true or because of them being popular?
Alex: And in a band … I don't know, I never got close enough to find out
Jude: Maybe-
Alex: Shut up
Jude: Okay, okay
Alex: You promised!
Sadie: Promised what?
Jude: I wouldn't tell anyone Alex has a crush on Spieds younger brother
Alex threw her hands up in defeat.
Jude: Sorry Alex
Alex: Riiggghht
Sadie: You what?
Alex: I didn't know he was Spieds brother!
Sadie: How did she-
Jude: She know's Spied and he knows me but its not like we all hang out together
Sadie: How'd you meet him?
Alex: School
Sadie: …
Alex: He's the most popular sophomore
Jude: You also described him as really hot and an amazing musician
Alex: I don't think I ever actually said "Amazing Muscian"
Jude: True
Sadie: Why'd you go to her?!
Alex: She's still in high school-
Jude: And you weren't home
Sadie: Oh
They all laughed a little and Alex put her notebook on the sound board, then looked back through the door to Tyler. Jude and Sadie followed her gaze.
Alex: He's older, I'm cursed
Sadie: A year
Jude and Alex: High School
Sadie: True
Tommy: Who's that? The Jude mini-me?
Alex: Alexandria Harrison? Alex, her younger sister
Tommy: You look exactly like she did at fifteen
Alex: Cause I am
Tommy: What? Fifteen?
Alex: Yeah
Tommy: Oh
Jude: She's here to sing
Tommy: Whats she singing?
Alex: I write my own songs
Jude: NGNW, Home, I'm With You, Girlfriend, and maybe some of my mine
Sadie: Jude that's a huge variety
Jude: I know … both D and Tommy need to see that
Alex: Do I have to sing-
Jude: Yes
Alex: You suck
Jude: Yes I do
Tommy: If your gonna sing-
Alex: You have time now?
Jude: I was supposed to be recording now, but I gave up some time for you
Sadie: Seriously?
Tommy: Yep
Whats happening with the Spiedermans while this is going on…
Spied: Any luck with the girl?
Tyler: No, I don't think I'm asking her out
Spied: Why?
Tyler: She's an under-classman
Spied: Atleast your not a senior asking a freshman out
Tyler: True, but still, I don't think I am. Besides her friends obsessed with Ian
Spied: Seriously?
Tyler: Yep
Spied: That's scary
Tyler: And Ians seriously not interested, and the obsession's a total turn off
Spied: Duh
Tyler: Why am I here again?
Spied: Audition
TyleR: For a guitarist?
Spied: Or singer-
Tyler: No
Spied: Why?
TyleR: Just no
Spied: Whatever
Tyler: How can I prove to her I'm not who she thinks I am without talking to her?
Spied: If you aren't asking her out why does it matter?
Tyler: Spied-
Spied: And you cant, not without talking to her
Tyler: I'll find a why
Spied: Whatever
Kyle: What does he need to find a way for?
Spied: Asking out a freshman without talking to her
Wally: Please say you aren't the one Sams obessed with?
Tyler: Who?
Spied: Never mind
Kyle: A freshman?
Tyler and Spied: Yes
Wally: Why cant you talk to her?
Spied: "Status Quote"
Kyle: What?
Spied: The food chain
Wally and Kyle: Oh
Tyler: And she hates me
Spied: She doesn't know you!
Wally: What?
Spied: He's never talked to her
Tyler: She hates my rep, and all my friends
Kyle: Which is?
Tyler: Shay and Quincys combined then down sized to high school
Kyle and Wally: Ouch
Tyler: Some of its true for the rest of them, but not me, Ian, and Gabi
Wally: Didn't you date her?
TyleR: Two years ago, shoudlt you know that?
Wally: I don't follow Gabis love life, Spied's the only good big brother
Tyler: Ha, yeah right
Back in the Studio….
Alex: What am I doing first?
Jude: Not sure
Alex: Home's with you, Girlfriends with you and Sam cause I need back up, NGNW is not something I want to sing, and I'm With You is okay.
Tommy: Lets start with Home
Alex: Okay. I wrote it after coming home over the summer. I was sick of living in California with my mom. I missed Toronto and my life, and my home. I showed it to Jude and she said touring made her feel the same way
Tommy: Cool, think you can show me the lyrics?
Alex: Okay
She flipped through her notebook until she got to the right page,
I'm staring out into the night
Trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain
Well I'm going home
To the place where I belong
And where your love has been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
Well I'm going home
The miles are getting longer, it seems
The closer I get to you
I've not always been the best one or friend for you
But your love, it makes true
And I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try
So I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
I'm going home
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
And then some you don't want
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all, yeah
Oh, well I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
I'm going home
Kwest: … wow
Alex: Is that a good thing?
Kwest: The songs great
Alex: (Smiling) Thanks Kwest
Tommy: We need to play that for Darius
Alex: Seriously?
Tommy: Yep, but, you do need your own band
Spied: Ty-
Jude: We can find her a band later
Spied looked at her, confused and slightly mad, but Jude avoided his gaze.
Tommy: How about two more songs?
Sadie: NGNW and Girlfriend
Alex: Your gonna make me sing NGNW?
Jude: Its an awesome song
Alex: And a personal one!
Jude: Alex
Alex: (sighs) Fine,
I used to think I had the answers to everything
But now I know
That life doesn't always go my way yeah
Feels like I'm caught in the middle
That's when I realize
I'm not a girl, not yet a woman
All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl
There is no need to protect me
It's time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own
I've seen so much more than you know now
So don't tell me to shut my eyes
I'm not a girl, not yet a woman
All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl
But if you look at me closely
You will see it in my eyes
This girl will always find her way
(I'm not a girl) I'm not a girl, don't tell me what to believe
(Not yet a woman) I'm just trying to find the woman in me, yeah
(All I need is time) Oh, all I need is time
(A moment that is mine) That's mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl, not yet a woman, no no
All I need is time, a moment that is mine
While I'm in between
I'm not a girl, ooh
Not yet a woman
Tommy: Thats good, why don't you want to sing it?
Alex: It's a really personal song, I don't know any of you, besides Jude and Sadie. I mean, I know who you are, but I don't know you
Tommy: Okay, lets see for the next song
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
You know it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
[Verse 1
You're so fine
I want you mine
You're so delicious
I think about ya all the time
You're so addictive
Don't you know what I could do to make you feel alright?
Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious
And Hell Yeah
I'm the motherfucking princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right
[Bridge:
She's like so whatever
And you could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!
[Chorus:
Hey! Hey! You! You!

Hey! Hey! You! You!

No way! No way!
You know it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
[Verse 2
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
So come over here, tell me what I want to hear
Better yet make your girlfriend disappear
I don't want to hear you say her name ever again
(And again and again and again!)
She's like so whatever
And you could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
You know it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can, cause I can do it better
There's no other
So when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid
What the hell were you thinking?!
In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can, cause I can do it better
There's no other
So when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid
What the hell were you thinking?!
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
You know it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend
( repeat chorus x3)
Tommy: Um, wow
Alex: Its different then Home and NGNW but still me
Jude: True
Alex: Cool
Tommy: Okay, now we'll go through and do the instrumentals with SME, then background vocals with you and Jude, then your vocals so we have three tracks to show to Darius
Alex: (laughing) Then lets get going
Later with Alex…
Six hours later Alex and Sam were sitting cross legged on Sams bed, eating pepperoni pizza and watching Jude and SME perform on MTV.
Sam: So what happens with the demo?
Alex: Darius listens to it, if he likes it I might get signed
Sam: That's pretty cool
Alex: I need a band though
Sam: True
With Tyler…
After Alex was done recording their wasn't even time for Tyler to do one song, besides, Tommy and Kwest were busy putting those three on a demo for Darius. So Spied dropped Tyler off at Wally, Gabi, and Cody's house. Gabi let him in and the three hung out in the basement watching Jude and SME perform on MTV.
Gabi: Jude's pretty good I guess
Tyler: You guess?
Gabi: No, she's cool and all, I've just never really listened to her music
Tyler: Really?
Gabi: I'm not into listening to my big brother
Tyler: Oh
Ian: I listen to each song when it comes out, and take the CD Kyle gives me, but never really listen to it after that
Tyler: I listen to the songs occasionially
When the show was over Tyler excused himself to go upstairs and get something to drink. When he walked into the kitchen Cody was sitting at the island on the phone. While he got something to drink he listened to the conversation.
Cody: Seriously? She got to record today? … That's huge! … Can't she use SME? … I know Jude Harrison and SME are- … True, true. Does she have any ideas? … It's so cool Alex got to record. Judes a pretty cool sister to- … Yeah but she looks just like Jude did when she started out, it will be hard for Alex to get out of Judes shadow … Yeah, the bright red hair will diffinitely get her noticed!
Cody laughed along with whoever he was talking to, but Tyler wasn't paying attention anymore.
Tylers thoughts-
The girl I want to ask out is Jude's younger sister?! I mean, she does have bright red hair, just like Jude did, and appariently can sing well enough to be making a demo for G-Major, but still! God, Spied would go berserk if he knew! Well, no one can know, and I cant ask her out. Everyone will diffinitely think we're following Spied and Jude then! Plus, Juderman didn't work out, so me and Alex probably wouldn't either. Well, that settles it, no asking her out.
He walked out of the room and back to the basement, and spent the rest of the night mentally scolding himself for thinking about Alex.
With the first generation…
Jude and SME were hanging out around 620. They had been their for a few hours, jamming and goofing off. They were all exhausted so they sat down to watch a movie, but Wallys parents made him come home cause Gabi and Cody were fighting and Gabis friend had tipped over the pop corn maker and the basement was a mess. Kyle decided to go home too so he wouldn't miss curfew. That of course left Jude and Spied with the mess. While Jude picked up all the spilt food and Spied was putting away all the blankets and pillows, Jude casually asked,
Jude: Does Tyler have a girlfriend?
Spied: No, why? Want to try Juderman again?
She looked up in shock and saw Spied had a joking smile on his face, she rolled her eyes.
Jude: No, but isn't he, like, the most popular guy in his grade?
Spied: I guess
Jude: And he's always with Gabi
Spied: Yeah but they broke up. He's her friend and all but she's not exactly girlfriend material, for him anyway
Jude: Huh
Spied: Why?
Jude: Nothing
Spied: Right … does this have anything to do with Alex's song?
Jude: Why would the first guy I thought of be Tyler?
Spied: Is he the one she's into?
Jude: Why would I tell you who my sister likes?
Spied: Cuase I'll tell you who Ty likes
Jude: Do you even know who he likes?
Spied: … No
Jude: Figure it out, then we'll talk
She smirked at him and went back to cleaning up. Half an hour later they went their separate ways to head home.
With Spied…
When Spied got home Tyler was on the family room couch.
Spied: Where are mom and dad?
Tyler: Out
Spied: Huh
Tyler: We watched SME and Jude on MTV
Spied: Seriously?
Tyler: Yeah
Spied: Cool
He sat on the love seat and Tyler switched channels.
Spied: Ever figure out the name of that girl?
Tyler had already decided not only wasn't he making a move, but he was never telling Spied who the girl was, but he didn't want to seem like a complete idiot…
Tyler: Alex. Her names Alex
Spied: What?
Tyler: You asked what her name was, her names Alex
Spied though over everything Tyler had told him about the girl he liked. It all sounded like Jude at fifteen. Now he was finding out the girls name was Alex, and Alex was just like Jude at that age.
Spied: Huh. Do you know her last name?
Tyler: Nope. I heard her friends talking. She's a musician and her names Alex. But I'm not gonna ask her out
Spied: Why not?
Tyler: I found a sophomore I like too
Spied: But you like Alex more
Tyler: I'm asking out the sophomore. Now I should probably head to bed
He got up and walked out of the room, heading upstairs.
I didn't really find a sophomore I like, but I'm sure I can find one tomorrow and ask her out, then Spied will quit bugging me.
A few minutes later, Spied went to bed too. He fell asleep still wondering if Tyler liked Alex or a different Alex.
With Jude…
When Jude got home Sam had already left and Alex was in her room. She was playing Judes third album and dancing around slightly as she tried to pick out an outfit.
Jude: Whats up?
Alex turned to Jude and smiled before walking back into her small walk-in closet.
Alex: Looking for something for tomorrow
Jude: What happened to letting things work themselves out?
Alex: It went to find another girl after I saw Tyler at school today
Jude: Oh
She walked into the room to help Alex.
Jude: Does Tyler have a girlfriend?
Alex: He's dating Gabi
Jude: I thought they broke up?
Alex: No ones knows for sure if they did or not
Jude: So 'Girlfriend' is for if they didn't?
Alex: Or if he gets a new girlfriend
Jude laughed slightly before pulling a shirt off the top shelve of her sister closet. It was a plain black shirt with long sleeves, but it had a slight V neckline. Alex grabbed stone washed jeans with a flared leg, a studded belt, and black and teal checked Vans.
Jude: Perfect
Alex: Thanks
She walked out of the closet and put everything on her dresser, where both her cell phone and Ipod were charging. Jude looked at the screen and saw an IM window was pulled up, but she didn't recognize the screen name 'robbinsbass3'
Jude: Who-
Alex: Cody. Apparinetly both of his older siblings also play Bass
Jude: Oh, cool.
Alex: I guess
Jude: Alright, I should probably get to bed
Alex: Cool, see you tomorrow
So, did you like it? Please review to let me know ;) BTW, is anyone still confused as to who is who?
