Thanks for the reviews!
You
said you didn't need me (but you did) I'm the smoke from your fire
You said you didn't want me
(but you do)
It's kinda like a comedy
Well first you kiss
me
Then you say we're through
I say you got some issues (yeah,
you do)
Some things you gotta work through (really do)
It's
sorta like a talk show, no wait a freak show
When the freak is
you
I'm that lie you can
trust
I'm the chord on your guitar
I'm that girl you can't shut
up
I'm that blood you might need
In your car when you speed
In
that cigarette you breathe
You can't get rid of me
Jude was so into her singing, she didn't even notice there were two people on her bed. And when she did, she screamed.
"Who are you?" Jude exclaimed.
"I'm Patsy and cowboy here is Mason. Tommy said you need some company tonight," Patsy said.
"I thought he was kidding. I don't know you people," Jude said.
"No kidding," Patsy said.
"Don't mind her, she's a little blunt," Mason said.
"A little?" Jude asked.
"That was a good song, heartbreak?" Patsy asked.
"Kind of. He's my best friend," Jude said.
"You don't write those kind of songs about best friends," Patsy said.
"Well, he's my best friend, but like, I've got a new boyfriend, and he has these issues with me and having guy friends. So I haven't really been much of a friend to him lately. But he's still been there for me, and he kissed me," Jude said.
"Don't you just love those moments," Mason said.
"Dearly. So I take it you didn't say 'I love you –insert friend's name here –' after," Patsy said.
"Well, my boyfriend decided to show up, and I don't know, I was mad, but not at Speed, but I kind of yelled at him, and now he's not talking to me. Like we have this whole talent show thing coming up, and he asked me to sing with his band. But now he's like, he doesn't need me," Jude said.
"Ouch. Well I think this is really an issue of you not being with him, and not you yelling at him," Mason said.
"But I can't just break up with Derek," Jude said.
"But he's regulating who you can talk to? No one, not even a boyfriend is supposed to do that," Patsy said.
"And all these things with tags are different from everything else in your closet," Mason said. Jude sighed and told them the whole story from the beginning.
"Where's this boyfriend of yours?" Patsy asked.
"He went home, he said he had something to do," Jude said.
"He didn't go to a party?" Mason asked.
"Nope," Jude said.
"Lying sack of shit," Patsy mumbled.
Jude was about to say something when she heard music and singing coming from Speed's room.
"Whoa, he's good. Who's he?" Patsy asked.
"That's Vincent Spiederman," Jude said.
"He is gorgeous," Mason said.
"Yeah, seriously. What song are you going to sing in the studio tomorrow?" Patsy asked.
"I'm not sure. Tommy told me I should just write and over the summer I was told whatever comes out first, out of what I write, that's what the song should be," Jude said.
"Try this technique," Patsy said, grabbing Jude's guitar and strumming some chords. Mason began drumming onto a book.
"My skin doesn't fit, my world seems so hollow. I feel like a fraud and that's a bitter pill to swallow, sometimes it hits me right between the eyes, everyone can see through my disguise," Jude sang.
"That was really good," Patsy said.
"Yeah, you've got a talent. Why have you kept this hidden?" Mason asked.
"I… don't know," Jude said.
"And so Speed's the only one that knows?" Mason asked.
"Yeah. Like I'm pretty sure my mom thinks it's the radio," Jude said.
"You should record that song you were singing earlier," Patsy said.
"And give it to him," Mason said.
"Well I'm here in the Yukon, and I'm trying all it on," they heard.
"It's Speed, he sings this song every night," Jude said.
"What's it called?" Mason asked.
"I'm thinking its called Soft Spoken," Jude said.
"And I'll be leaving with a picture, soft spoken," Jude sang in tune with Speed.
"You really like him," Mason concluded.
"I don't know," Jude said.
"It sounds to me that you do," Patsy said.
"You seriously need to break up with this Derek guy," Mason said.
"That's not the easiest thing. Which I don't get because, last year I would've been like, Derek? Ew! And now it's like, Derek, whoa," Jude said.
"But from what you tell us, he treats you like crap, and he's trying to change you," Patsy said.
"He's not trying to change me," Jude said.
"So are you doing the talent show for Speed or Derek?" Patsy asked.
"I'm doing it for Derek," Jude said.
"Wrong answer," Mason said.
"Speed?" Jude guessed.
"You need to do this for yourself," Mason said.
"Can I do it for myself and to please Derek and Speed?" Jude asked.
"You can do it for yourself and please them along the way. But don't make that the reason you do it," Patsy said.
"But, I don't want to do it so I can win," Jude said.
"So you don't want to do it for Derek," Patsy said.
"I guess," Jude said, sighing.
"How about this, you sing that song on Friday and you sing a completely different song for your demo," Patsy said.
"Demo?" Jude asked.
"Jude, do you realize how great of a singer you are?" Mason asked.
"Wait, so this thing with Tommy, he's recording me a demo?" Jude asked.
"Yes!" Mason said.
"Oh my God! I have to tell Spiederman," Jude said. She picked up the phone and dialed his number. The only thing was, he didn't answer.
"Speed, I know you hate me right now, but Sadie's boyfriend is a producer and he's going to record me singing, and I would really like for you to be there," Jude said onto the answering machine.
"He's not gonna go," Patsy said.
"Why not?" Jude asked.
"He's not going to let you think he'll always be there for you. You called him today and told him to come over, only to kick him out later. He doesn't want that to happen again," Mason said.
"How do you know?" Jude asked.
"Because, gay or not, Mason is still a guy," Patsy said, laughing.
"But I don't think I could do it without him being there," Jude said, tearing up.
"You're going to have to learn," Patsy said.
"How about this, we leave you here tonight, and you write a song about him, record it tomorrow, and we'll deliver it to him," Mason said.
"Write another one?" Jude asked.
"Write a bunch, it doesn't matter, just mean it," Patsy said.
Jude sighed and looked out of her window at Speed. He was lying on his bed, obviously upset.
"Are you two going to be there in the morning?" Jude asked. She liked talking to them. They were straightforward with her.
"Only if you want us to be there," Mason said.
"I do," Jude said.
"Then we're coming," Mason said, hugging Jude. He and Patsy walked out of her house and got into his car.
"She's got a lot to learn," Mason said.
W00t update!
