The Next Morning In The House
Jude, once again was up early. Not as early as the day before but still early. Jude got up from the hay pile and got dressed; she slipped away from Tommy's sleeping form and went to pack up her stuff because they were leaving today.
She walked in though the back door into the kitchen she saw Sadie and Kwest give a quick peck before Kwest left the kitchen and Sadie put some toast in the toaster.
"I can't believe we're leaving!" Sadie squealed. Jude just nodded, not entirely awake yet. "What time's our plane home?" Jude asked sleepily.
"1:20. Now it's 7 so we have plenty of time. Hey, where were you?"
Then Kwest walked back into the kitchen, "Jude, have you seen Tommy? He never came in last night…"
Sadie raised a brow and tried to hide her smirk but both Kwest and Jude noticed. "Guys, it's nothing like that. I was writing a song and Tommy came out to help me, we fell asleep. Speaking of which, I should go back out and get my journal." Jude turned around to walk out the door but Sadie and Kwest followed, "So if nothing happened last night than you won't mind if we follow you to wake Tommy up…" Sadie and Kwest were giggling and they began to quickly jog toward the stables. Jude's eyes grew wide and she sprinted after them to try and stop them. Just as they go to the barn Sadie and Kwest stopped. Jude caught up to them and looked past them to find…
Tom standing there (fully dressed) with his arm extended, holding Jude's journal. "You left this out here last night Jude…"
Jude smiled and took the journal. "Thanks" she said quietly.
Tommy smiled at her, And don't think Sadie missed the fact that Jude was glowing.
Sadie took Kwest's arm and dragged him away from the stables, murmuring something about 'giving the lovely couple some privacy.'
"Hey…about last night…"
"Tommy, don't." Jude held up her hand to stop him, "You have a girlfriend. Tommy, what we did was out of line. No doubt, but…forget it."
"What? Tell me…"
"I think it happened because we were thinking with out hearts for once, instead of our heads. If stuff like this keeps happening, then that should tell us something. As much as we both don't want it to be there, or we want to ignore it; there is something between us."
Tommy looked away from her, "You don't want it there? You want to ignore it? So, why don't you just ignore me." Tommy stalked off.
"Tommy! I didn't mean it like that! I meant like…Oh my god…" Jude groaned, she now realized how stupid what she said really was.
Tommy stomped his way through the house and up to his room, he started packing. Jude walked in moments later. Kwest was in the kitchen and he was confused. "Jude, what happened?"
Jude sighed, "I got him mad…"
Kwest just nodded, noting that Jude didn't want to talk about it. "So, wanna 'sing' me that song you guys 'wrote' last night." Kwest said with a smirk and using air quotes. Jude shook her head and smiled, good thing she did write a song last night. "Sure…" Kwest's face got a look of disappointment, but nodded and followed her to the living room anyway. Jude picked up her guitar and began to play and sing, "My Innocence" (the one by Lindsay Lohan)
"Wow, Jude, that's intense…"
Jude just nodded and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "Good intense or bad intense?"
"Depends, I personally love it and think it will be a hit, but Jude, this has something to do with Tommy doesn't it?"
Jude sighed, "For once, no."
"Then what Jude, what happened. I knew something was going on…"
"Kwest, it's nothing, really. It's over."
Kwest's eyes grew big, "It was Jeff! That's with this whole innocence thing you got going on now! That son of a bitch touched you!"
Kwest got up to leave the room, "What are you gonna do Kwest? Huh? He left! There's nothing you could do!" Jude started to tear and she didn't bother to hold any back.
"Jude! Why didn't you tell me! Or Tommy! We could've kicked the little punk's ass!"
Jude just shook her head still crying. Sadie came down the stairs. "Kwest! What are you screaming about?"
"That son of a bitch raped Jude!"
Jude rolled her eyes, "Well, good to know I can trust you to keep a secret Kwest."
Kwest ignored her, Tommy came down next, Sadie was in shock. "What's going on?" Tommy asked, Sadie turned around and smacked him.
"You son of a bitch! Pervert! You raped my little sister! I'm gonna kill you!..." Sadie continued to swear and smack Tommy. Tommy was confused and when he finally got a hold of her wrists he looked at Jude, "Jude, you told them I raped you!"
"Sadie! It wasn't Tommy! What are you doing!"
Sadie lowered her arms and Tommy let go, Sadie murmured out a sheepish sorry to Tom. "Kwest, what the hell are you talking about then?"
Kwest was still fuming, "Jeff…" Tommy didn't move, nor did his facial expression change. "Tom…you knew! You knew and you didn't tell me!" Tommy shot Kwest an apologetic look. "Jude didn't want me too."
Kwest just stalked up to his room, Sadie followed. Jude sent Tommy a grateful look but he just shook his head and went back to his room. Jude lowered her head and cried, she was really alone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you think about 'Innocence: Lost or Preserved.'?"
Jude nodded, they were back at G-Major and Georgia loved all of her songs. Innocence: Lost or Preserved was the album title. "Okay, now get in the studio and write some more, after you write a little bit we will start to record these songs and the new ones, okay?" Jude nodded again. "Okay, go get Tom and get to work."
Jude sighed and was off to find Tommy. She went to his office, there he was. "Hey…" she said sheepishly. Tommy looked up from his paperwork and was about to say something when Jude felt two arms grab her from behind.
"Jude, I warned you! Now your gonna get it!"
Jude let out a shrill scream. The arm immediately let go. Jude turned around and came face to face with EJ, holding her dress. Jude apologized and looked at Tommy who was holding his hands over his ears. She apologized again. EJ grabbed Jude's arm and pulled her into her office.
"You are so damn lucky!"
"Why is that?" Jude asked sitting down. She remembered how she ripped the dress when she fainted. And the promise that EJ made to Jude if anything happened to it.
"I guess here is where I pick up my socks?" Jude said with a nervous laugh. EJ just rolled her eyes. "Listen, Jude. This dress, the material…if it's sewn back together then it will just look messy."
"I am sorry EJ but I fainted, there wasn't much that I could do about it…"
EJ nodded sadly, "I know, and that's why you are so damn lucky!" EJ's face broke into a grin, "I found a new dress!" Jude smiled, "Thank you EJ." EJ nodded and handed her a new dress. This one was a soft purple color, sugar plum. It had off the shoulder straps and was tight fitting all along her chest, stomach and hips and then began to flare out mid thigh, flowing all the way to the floor. (http/ Jude smiled and went to change. When she came out again, her smile was bigger than when she tried on the first one. EJ smiled too, Jude was becoming a woman.
Tom's Apartment
Stephanie was walking around the living room with the cordless phone attached to her ear, "Yes, Tom, I realize you were busy but that doesn't mean that you didn't have five minutes to call you girlfriend who was left at home, all alone, lonely." She stuck out her bottom lip, even though Tommy couldn't see her, he could hear it in her voice through the phone. "Look, Steph, I know and I'm sorry but the fact that you couldn't go, wasn't my fault. And you only called me once and my phone was on silent because I…was…listening to Jude play a song…" Stephanie sighed; she walked over to Tom's suitcase which he had dropped off when they got back. But before Stephanie could give him a proper 'hello' he was back out the door and on his way to the studio. Stephanie opened the suitcase, intending to get some laundry done. She picked up and outfit which had some straw on it. She picked it up and examined it.
"Tom, what really happened on this trip? You had a house right?"
Tommy was confused, of course they had a house, "Yeah, we had a house, what's your point?"
"C'mon Tom. I'm not stupid…"
"Stephanie, I don't know what you're getting at but…"
"Whatever Tom, I'll see you when you get home, I might stop by the studio later to say a quick hi. Alright?"
"Sure, whatever. Bye." Tommy could care less at the moment, so he hung up before Stephanie could say goodbye.
There was a knock on his door again, he looked up and saw Jude, standing there in her Grammy dress. "I know you are mad at me but I need a guy's opinion, Spied, Wally, and Kyle shouldn't get back form their mini tour until tomorrow, Kwest is out with Sadie, and I already sent a picture from my phone to Kory but I wanna know now. How do I look?" Jude did a little twirl in her dress, and her new 4 inch heels, they were purple with small purple gems over the top and some diamonds. They matched the beautiful bracelet that EJ gave Jude. Tommy's jaw was on the floor. He didn't say anything; there were no words that would explain how beautiful she was. "Okay, please Tom; I know you don't want to talk to me but I need to know how I look. Oh my god, I look that bad?" Jude looked down and smoothed out the dress frantically.
Tommy finally snapped out of his little trance, "No! Jude, god no! You look…amazing." Jude smiled, "Thanks Quincy. EJ said she has big things planned for my hair, when she said big I hope she doesn't mean literally, I could never really pull off the 80's look." They both laughed a little. Jude looked at him, thoughtful, "I guess I should take advantage of you talking to me, when I said neither of us wanted the chemistry there, I didn't mean it…"
"You seem to be saying a lot of things that you don't mean lately."
Jude sighed and nodded, she had been treating him like crap lately. "Well, just know that I don't regret what happened and I honestly don't know what to do with the chemistry that is between us. But the fact still remains, you have a girlfriend." Tom sighed and nodded, she was right. Who was Tom to go around being mad at Jude when he didn't even know about the chemistry that was between them, why should he get mad at Jude for not knowing what he still has yet to figure out? Tommy sighed again and looked up at Jude, "Jude, I'm sorry. I should have never gotten mad." "Well, what I said could have been taken the wrong way, I understand." They both nodded and Jude turned to leave the room, "Jude!" She turned around, "You really do look great, girl." Jude smiled and nodded a thanks. Then her phone buzzed, 'New Text Message: Kory' WOW! I luv that dress on u! Amzin j- rly. Hope to c u soon! Call my new cell! 123-4567.
Jude smiled and added the number to her contacts. She went back to EJ's office and changed back into her regular clothes. A smile on her face, she turned around to come face to face with Stephanie. Stephanie pulled a piece of hay which was stuck in Jude's hair, Stephanie smirked and walked away holding the piece of hay and she pulled the other piece that she found in Tom's clothes out of her pocket. With that she walked into Tom's office.
Previews:
"Do you honestly expect me to believe you?"
"Spied! You guys are back!"
"Dude, you look hot."
"I want you guys there. Of course!"
"You wanna write a song?"
"Did you tell her or did she figure it out?"
