Too Late- Hope Partlow

Mirror Mirror- M2M


"You serious?" Tommy asked.

"I freaked," Jude said and shrugged. "I was eighteen, pregnant, and my boyfriend proposed out of the blue."

Tommy gave a confused face. "...I'm sorry?"

Jude let out a small laugh. "Don't be. It's my fault too."

"I should have stayed. I should have listened," Tommy said.

"And I shouldn't have let you walk out that door," Jude sighed. "But we can't change the past can we?"

Tommy smiled. "To think if we hadn't been idiots, we could have been happy this whole time..."

Jude smiled. "Yeah." They looked up and their eyes met. They kept eye contact for a few minutes before Jude looked down and blushed.

"So, uh, Darius wants to bring back the feel of your first albums?" he asked.

"Yeah," Jude said. "I think 'Hate' is pretty good, but he told me he wanted something with a country vibe, like 'Natural Disaster'."

"Darius a big fan of Mason?" Tommy laughed.

"Shut up," Jude smiled. "I have one song in mind..."

"Okay," he nodded.

"...about you."

"oh," he said. He ran his fingers through his hair. "Go for it."

Jude nodded and went in the recording booth and picked up the acoustic guitar.

I know my heart was cold
But I take back all the things I told you
I'd trade my soul away for just another day
To hold you
But your not coming back
The dirts already packed
The skies have turned to black..again..

Its too late to regret
Cause you already left
It's too late to hold on
Because your already gone
I don't know how I will carry on

I feel your body near
I close my eyes and hear you call me
I swear your voice is real
I reach my hand to feel you draw me
But when I look around
You're nowhere to be found
You've left without a sound
Again..

It's too late to regret
Cause you already left
It's too late to hold on
Because your already gone
I don't know how I will carry on
I don't know how I will carry on

It's too late to regret
Cause you already left
It's too late to hold on
Because your already gone
I don't know how I will carry on

It's too late to regret
Cause you already left
It's too late to hold on
Cause your already gone
I don't know how I will carry on
I don't know but I will carry on

Tommy looked at her and cocked his head to the side when she finished. "You moved on?"

"Had to," Jude nodded.

"Huh," Tommy sighed.


"The Jude Harrison is your mom!" Diane said in excitement. They were sitting in the lobby of G Major.

"Yeah," Nikki nodded.

"And let me guess, Tom Quincy's your dad," Aaron said sarcastically.

"Well..." Jim began as Nikki bit her lip.

"Quincy's your dad?" Aaron asked.

"I figured it out a month or two ago," Nikki said.

"And you told Jim and not us?" Diane asked.

"Jim was there when I had a breakdown the other day, it came out then. Diane, you know you can't keep a secret if someone paid you."

"What about me?" Aaron asked with a bit of anger.

"I couldn't tell you!" Nikki said.

"Why not!" he yelled.

"Because I knew you'd react like this!" She crossed her arms. "Complain that I didn't tell you sooner!"

Aaron sighed. She had a point.

"So, your parents getting back together?" Diane asked.

Nikki rubbed her temples. "Don't get me started on that. They're relationship is too complicated."

"That doesn't look complicated," Jim said and pointed to Studio A. Tommy and Jude were laughing about something.

"Stuff happening with them is like clockwork," Nikki smirked. She closed her eyes and began to count. "Three, two, one..."

Amanda walked into Studio A.


"Hey Tommy," Amanda said walking into the studio. "Oh, I didn't know you had company..."

"Yeah, I did," Tommy said.

"Oh wait, you're that Instant Star girl, Julie Harriet," Amanda said knowing very well what Jude's name was.

"Um, it's Jude Harrison," Jude nodded.

"Oh, well, I'm sure Tommy's told you all about me," she smiled and put her hands on her shoulders. He tried to hold in a wince which Jude caught.

Jude smirked. "No, in fact, he hasn't told me anything about you.Care to share?"

"Well, I'm the new receptionist here, and Tommy's girlfriend."

"A girlfriend?" Jude said bitterly. "Wow, this is news to me."

"Uh, Jude-" Tommy began but Amanda cut him off.

"He doesn't want it to be official yet or anything, so keep it a secret," Amanda said. "See ya later, babe." She walked out.

Tommy sighed with relief after she left.

"Way to treat your girlfriend," Jude said looking through her journal.

"Jude it's not what you think," he said. "Amanda has this stupid crush on me, I have never and will never ask her out."

"It's okay Tommy," Jude nodded. "I moved on, you moved on, I'm okay with meeting your girlfriend." Jude felt like cringing at the word girlfriend.

"Amanda is not my girlfriend..." Tommy said.

Nikki came into the studio.

"Who sent Barbie on the war path?" she asked.

Jude and Tommy chuckled.

"Uh, Nik, I wanted to ask you something," Jude said. "Wanna sing with me? A song for my album?"

"Serious?" Tommy and Nikki said at the same time. Jude nodded.

"What song?" Nikki asked.

"Mirror," Jude said. "The music was the first song I taught you remember."

"Yeah, you never told me the lyrics," Nikki said. Jude handed her the notebook. "Let's do it. "

Tommy looked at Jude skeptically while Nikki went to get her acoustic.

"You'll see," Jude said, knowing the question Tommy wanted to ask.


Nikki and Jude were both sitting on stools with acoustic guitars. Tommy gave them the signal to start. Nikki started with the intro.

Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see
Mirror mirror lie to me

Jude came in with the first verse.

Why don't I like the girl I see
The one who's standing right in front of me
Why don't I think before I speak
I should have listened to that voice inside me

Nikki came in on back up vocals.

I must be stupid, must be crazy, must be out of my mind
To say the kind of things I said last night

They sang the chorus together.

Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back, bring my baby back to me

Jude sang the next part before Nikki went into the second verse.

Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see
Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see

Why did I let you walk away
When all I had to do was say I'm sorry
I let my pride get in the way
And in the heat of the moment I was to blame
I must be stupid, must be crazy, must be out of my mind
Now in the cold light of the day I realize

They sang the rest of the song together.

Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back, bring my baby back to me

If only wishes could be dreams
And all my dreams could come true
There would be two us standing here in front of you
If you could show me that someone that I used to be
Bring back my baby, my baby to me

"Mother daughter duet, I like it," Darius said from the doorway. Tommy glanced back at him before looking back to Jude and Nikki.

Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back, bring my baby back to me

Mirror mirror hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back, bring my baby back to me

Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see
Mirror mirror lie to me
Mirror mirror lie to me
Show me what I wanna see

Jude sang the last line on her own.

Mirror mirror lie to me

"That's why," Jude nodded, answering the question Tommy never got to ask.

"Another song about him?" Nikki asked Jude.

"What? Like it's a bad thing?" Tommy asked smiling.

"Kinda pathetic," Nikki said rolling her eyes towards Jude.

"Do you know what's really pathetic?" Jude asked with a smirk. "Being the front-man of a boy band, that wore matching outfits and did synchronized dance moves."

"True," Nikki said, they both glared at Tommy.

"Take two," he said a bit annoyed, truth was, this was the happiest he'd been in fifteen years.
