Okay I'm going to be honest here and tell you that this chapter is short. Really, really short but that's because I decided to break it into two chapters. Jude is coming back next chapter instead of adding her in at the end of this one, she gets her own chapter. Yeah Jude! So please don't hate, Jude's chapter is coming tomorrow. I promise. So R and R please! Thank you for everybody who reviewed the last chapter, it made my day.

Chapter 11

G Major

"Sadie, is Darius in?" Kwest asked striding into G Major.

Sadie stood up and hurried to catch up with her boyfriend. "Yeah he's been in a meeting with Liam all morning. Where have you been?"

"Not now Sadie," Kwest said knocking on Darius's office door.

"Fine," Sadie said crossing her arms across her chest. She turned to hide the hurt in her eyes. She should be use to producers getting a huge head and ignoring their girlfriends. Hadn't she learned anything after the fiasco with Tommy? She never should have broken her rule, never date producers.

Kwest swore silently when he watched Sadie head back to her desk. He hadn't meant to hurt her but his mind was full of the events of New York. Plus he had been back for almost 24 hours and had yet to tell anybody about Jude's whereabouts, if she was even still there. He'd been ignoring Tommy's phone calls; it wasn't his place to tell Tommy where Jude was.

He heard Darius say come in but he walked back over to Sadie's desk and before she could say anything kissed her silent. When he pulled away her eyes were closed and she was breathing really heavily. "Don't compare me to Tommy; I just really need to talk to Darius." He tapped her nose with one of his fingers before walking back to Darius's office. "Dinner tonight, 7 be ready," he called over his shoulder.

He knocked again but opened the door without waiting for Darius to say anything. "Darius, we need to talk."

"I'm kind of in a meeting here," Darius said gesturing towards Liam.

"This is a little more important than this weeks record sales," Kwest said seriously.

"Liam, we'll continue this later," Darius said rolling his eyes. His producers always thought they had the next big thing, but if Kwest thought anything Patsy had done in New York was the 'next big thing' he was in for a rude awakening. "Now what could be more important than G Major's record sales? And please don't say anything about New York."

"Judes," Kwest started to say and he waited until he had Darius's full attention. "There, in New York. She's been there this whole time."

"You saw her," Darius said standing up.

"Better than that, we talked to her," Kwest said going on to tell him about some of there conversation. He left the Tommy parts out; he didn't think Darius needed to know they had dangled him in front of Jude like a bone with a dog. Kwest only hoped that she wanted Tommy like most dogs wanted a bone.

"Did you tell her Tommy was back?" Darius asked after a moment.

"Why would that matter?" Kwest asked stalling.

"That would be reason enough for her to come back," Darius pointed out like Kwest was stupid.

"Yes we told her about Tommy," Kwest said after debating the issue one more time. "She didn't seem too excited about him being back though. She was intrigued but I think he did some major damage there."

"Did she tell you why she ran?" Darius asked sitting back down slowly.

"Not really, just that she needed to breathe," Kwest said shaking his head. He never understood the way a woman's mind worked. When he needed to breathe he drove around, produced a song, and got drunk, he didn't run to another country.

"Do you think she'll come back?"

"Honestly, I don't know," Kwest admitted feeling like he failed somehow. He knew it wasn't his job to make sure she came back but with Darius looking at him and with him dating her sister, he felt like he should have been able to do more.

"Write down where she is, maybe I'll pay her a little visit," Darius said leaning back in his desk chair. This wasn't something he had been planning. He'd almost given up hope on every finding out where Jude had run off to. Maybe he'd have to take off a couple days and pay Jude a visit himself. Darius looked down at his desk calendar and decided to give Jude 'til the end of the week. He didn't want to get tough with her but she was his biggest money maker, but besides that, he was genuinely worried. He'd grown to think of her like a daughter. He knew her home life was dysfunctional at best; he picked up his phone and gave his real estate agent a call. Jude was going to need a new place to stay.
