Quick summary of the last part of chapter 2: E.J. and Georgia tries to figure out the Solid Magazine fiasco while Sadie of course complains. Georgia finally tells Sadie and Jude to go back to school while they try to fix things. After the two leave E.J. gets to work and immediately finds out that Darius Mills (hip-hop mogul) was running the magazine.E.J. goes to Tommy to help Sadie get back the cover, Tommy was reluctant because of his relationship with Darius. E.J. quickly pointed out that that may have been the reason while Sadie didn't get the cover. The next day Sadie, Tommy, and Jude attends Darius party where things didn't end up as expected. Darius will not listen to Tommy, Sadie gets drunk and says some mean things to Jude but on the brightside Jude meets a potential new friend (and it doesn't hurt she's Darius little sister), Tommy just heard her sing (and he was speechless),Darius is her manager, and she's putting out an album. But how will Sadie react to this news?
Whew. I tired myself out just writing that summary. Anyways you guys were awesome reviewers so here's a brand new chapter.
Sibling Rivalry...
Part One of Chapter 8
A week after the party Jude tried her best to avoid her sister. Sadly that didn't work out so well seeing that they do live in the same house. Jude hasn't come around to telling Sadie about Darius or G-major and neither has Tommy. Sadie was oblivious to the fact that her sister was avoiding her, she was just happy that she wasn't around so much. And the fact that Jude is at school and she was in a recording studio with Little Tommy Q as her producer couldn't have made her more happier.
"Do it again." Tommy instructed to Sadie
Sadie groans, "Again? Look it was great the last time."
"Your not the producer here Sadie. You're the singer so just sing. I'll tell you when it's good" Tommy answered looking annoyed
"Fine" Sadie answered as she takes a deep breath and starts to sing.
"I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna zigazig ha.
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,
Make it last forever friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give,
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is."
Tommy listens to the song and rolls his eyes as he focuses on the lyrics. If you wanna be my lover you gotta get with my friends? What kind of crap is this ? Tommy thought to himself. While Sadie was singing Georgia comes in the door and calls Tommy to come cover.
"What is it?" Tommy asks Georgia
"This" Georgia answers as she hands Tommy a newspaper with the headline, Sadie Harrison: A no hit wonder...
Tommy looks towards Sadie's direction and sees she was busy singing. He quietly reads the article aloud,
Sadie Harrison: A No Hit Wonder
"Lately the First ever Instant Star winner Sadie Harrison has not proven to the public that she deserves her title. Her first single Stop has not made the charts and some critics say her sound is too cheesy and bubble gum pop. Her second and third single Is This Love and Bad Girls was not an improvement. And most critics say that her latest single apparently titled Wannabe is the worst of them all. Containing the lyrics "If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends"some parents say that it is a bad example to set on younger children. Her vocals are nothing to be impressed with. But what bothers most music lovers is that her songs are not that great to relate to. We asked a few people around to tell us what they think of her songs and a 14 year old from Vancouver B.C. told us "Her songs aren't bad but a lot of singers these days write their own songs so they're easy to relate to. Her songs are really cheesy and poppy and honestly it's nothing special". So does Sadie Harrison really deserve this opportunity to be handed to her while many talented singers out their have to work for theirs? This writer doesn't thinks so. My advice for the girl? Write your own songs or just quit singing."
After Tommy read the article he quickly looked over to see if Sadie was still singing and his eyes widened as he saw her quickly heading over to them. He quickly hid the article in the garbage can beside him.
"Hey Georgia. What's up?" Sadie asks smiling happily
"Nothing. You two should get back to work." Georgia smiled faintly to Sadie before she leaves.
"So what's going?" Sadie asks Tommy after Georgia leaves.
"Nothing why?" Tommy answered quickly…a little too quickly
"Because you are acting mega-strange. C'mon tell me what's going on?" Sadie pleaded
"It's nothing just you know what's next after your single"
"Oh ok. I should go home. See ya later." Sadie said goodbye to Tommy not thinking twice about Tommy lying to her. Tommy sighs afer she leaves and walks to Georgia's office to discuss what to do.
Harrison Residence...
Sadie opens the front door and she sees Jude sitting on the couch frowning as she was reading a newspaper. She goes over to the couch and grabs the paper. Jude's eyes widen and tries to take the article back.
"Sadie no…you do not want to read that." Jude warned
"C'mon you seem so interested. Let's see" Sadie turns the article and starts reading. Her eyes widen and she passes the article back to Jude.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Sadie asks Jude loudly
"Because I didn't read it until now. Look Sadie it's not true. You make good music." Jude tries to convince Sadie but she wouldn't hear any of it as Sadie runs up to her room and closes the door.
"Sadie" Jude calls out. She sighs and heads to the couch. The door opens up and Stuart and Victoria steps in holding grocery bags. Jude heads over and helps them.
"Jude where's Sadie?" Victoria asks Jude as she looks around the room.
"She's in her room."
"Why what's wrong?"
"This." Jude answers her mom as she hands over the article. Her mom quickly reads the article and passes it to Stuart.
"Oh Sadie. Maybe I should go talk to her." Stuart suggested
"No. I think it should be woman to woman" Victoria said as she heads up to her room.
"What's wrong with you honey?" Stuart asks Jude
"Nothing"
"Honey. I know you c'mon"
"Ok something happened during the party we went to last week"
"Something happened? Honey did you two do anything...?
"Eeeew gross no dad. It's just that Darius Mills well you know we came over there to convince him that Sadie deserves to be in the cover right? Stuart nods his head to the question, "Well he kind of hear me sing and well now he's my manager. And I'm recording ab album"
"An album? Darius Mills as your manager? Honey why didn't you tell us this?" Stuart asks in shock
"Cause you know Sadie she'd freak if she found out that I got a record deal too."
"Honey I'm happy for you okay? And Sadie loved you and she'll be happy that you got a record deal too. And c'mon Darius Mill's as your manager ? Now that is big." Stuart assures Jude not knowing that Sadie was coming down the stairs and heard what he said.
"A record deal?" a voice asked them. The two turns around and sees Sadie coming down the stairs. Her eyes and nose were red from crying. And her was
all over the place. She stared at Stuart and glared at Jude.
"A freakin record deal?" Sadie yells, "Why don't you just take everything I own huh? Jude. And at the party I felt sorry for what I said to you you were inside schoomozing Darius and sucking up to him so you can have what I have.That's pathetic."
"Sadie that's enough" Stuart scolded loudly
"Your taking her side Dad? I can't believe this," She turns her head to Jude, "I hate you. I wish that I never had a sister" Sadie yelled at Jude as she runs back up again and slams the door to her room.
Tears were forming at the corner of Jude's eyes as she played Sadie's angry voice over and over again inside her head. Stuart turned to her, "Honey you know she doesn't mean that. It's just Sadie. She's just mad that's all"
"Dad Sadie's been mad at me before but she never told me she hated me." Jude said quietly
"It's gonna be ok honey, it's gonna be ok" Stuart said as he wrapped his arms around his daughter and comforted her.
