Jude walked through the front door of her childhood home to see Sadie still seated on the couch watching TV. "Still using the day to your advantage?" She asked coyly walking to the back of the couch.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be back so soon. Yeah, you wanna chill with me?" Sadie asked scooting over to make room for her sister. Jude walked to the other side of the couch and sat down next to Sadie. They spent a good hour talking and catching up about the last ten months.
"So have you seen Kwest at all?" Jude shot out of no where.
Sadie was flabbergasted. "Jude, what, I?" Sadie stammered.
" Yeah I know it's a little random but come on we cant avoid the subject anymore." Jude said with a serious tone in her voice.
Sadie sighed, "I haven't heard from him since he left G-Major, but I think about him." Sadie said not looking at Jude, "A lot."
Jude nodded and took her sisters hand, "He cares about you. . .still."
"Jude, I, I think I made a huge mistake." Sadie said beginning to muster tears.
"That makes two of us." Jude said hugging her sister. "But now we both have the chance to fix it."
"What?" Sadie asked sniffling a little from the tear jerking sister moment.
Jude grabbed her phone and texted someone rapidly, "You'll see. You might want to get dressed."
Sadie didn't question her sisters scheme and sped upstairs to get dressed. Jude was sitting downstairs, when she heard a knock on the door. She got up to answer it quickly, Kwest stood in front of her with a single red rose. "She'll be down in a second. Thanks for coming so quickly."
"For Sadie? I'd jump through fire." Kwest said stepping inside.
Sadie was walking down the stairs as she yelled, "Jude, are you going to tell me what's go- Kwest?!" She asked stepping down the final step and looking up.
"I'll, be in the kitchen if you need anything, try not to." Jude said, Sadie opened her mouth to speak but Jude was already out of the room.
"I, I, Look Kwest," Sadie started but was cut off.
Kwest stepped closer to her, "No Sadie, I'm sorry, I smothered you and I shouldn't have."
"No Kwest I just didn't know a good thing when I had it." Sadie said fully recovered from her surprise.
Jude sat listening at kitchen door, she heard Sadie and Kwest murmur but couldn't make out the words, she heard then talking for a while then, it was silent and Jude was wondering what was going on. She heard a thump after some silence and was a little surprised she opened the door slightly to see what was going on.
Jude's eyes enlarged by the sight before her, Sadie and Kwest had erupted into a deep make-out session obviously falling over the couch since they were had first heading towards the ground.
"Oh jeez, wow, okay, eww, I have my cell, bye!" Jude yelled, running out the door. She closed it behind her and leaned her back against the door. She took a huge breath. Her sister was with Kwest again, about time. It seemed like everyone got what she wanted except her. She had gotten bits and pieces but the big part, the Tommy part was severely in absence.
Jude grabbed her key out of her purse which she had grabbed on her way out. Jude got into her old mustang which Sadie hadn't gotten rid of. Jude would have tore her sister into pieces if she got rid of that car. Jude got in and drove to G-Major. She entered through the alley, everyone smiled and greeted her like she was walking in every other day.
Jude knocked on Darius' office door and heard a muffled, come in. she opened the door with caution hoping that Darius would have her thrown out by angry fat moving men. "Jude!" he said loudly but to her surprise with pleasure and not about to tear her head off.
"Wait, did I walk into the twilight zone? I'm looking for Darius mills." Jude answered in confusion.
Darius walked out from behind his desk and leaned against it motioning for her to take a seat. "What you didn't think I would be mad at the girl who left me with a remix album that went triple platinum." he said with a wide grin on his face pointing to the wall where 'My Return' hung in the proper case presenting its achievements.
"Wow, I didn't even know." Jude said surprised by happy. "Well I actually just came by to say hi, so" She started again but Darius was quick to stop her.
"I'm prepared to offer you a renewal contract. Tom too if he wants it." Darius said before Jude could get out of the room.
Jude stopped about to get out of her seat when Darius sprung the idea on her, she was drowning, this time no one to save her. Time to tell the big bad mogul of hip-hop the truth. "Well," She started, then laughed nervously taking her seat gain, "Darius that's a really tempting offer but, I have other commitments," She paused he looked at her with a confused look overtaking his face, "With NBR, and so does Tommy." She finished.
Darius didn't look angry like Jude thought he would be, he was more disappointed, "I should have never let Andrews quit, I knew he was too talented for my own good. Well, nothing I can do about it now, stay in touch, Jude tell Tom I said hi." Jude stood up from her chair.
She walked out of the room wondering what someone slipped in Darius' drink to make his act so, unlike Darius. Whatever it was Jude wasn't about to question the happy Darius. He could easily do a 180 and turn back into a beast.
As Jude walked out of G-Major she noticed t was barely past 3 in the afternoon. She decided it wasn't safe to go home just yet so she stopped by some music stores, grabbed some coffee, its never too late for a caffeine fix, and slowly made her way back home.
Jude arrived at her house an hour later, killing some time. Jude knocked on the door, peeked inside, "Everyone decent?" She said and heard no answer but saw no one either Jude walked in closing the door behind her, she walked into the kitchen and found a note laying for her on the counter.
Jude,
I went out with Kwest, I have my phone call if you need anything. Spied called, Jamie wants you to sign a contract.
Love Sadie.
"Great." Jude said to herself dropping the not back on the counter. I just got home and I already have work to do. Maybe I'll just write a song. Jude thought to herself as she went upstairs and started playing her guitar.
Sorry for the uber short chapter and more build-up to release party. Thanks for all the feedback and reviews! It means a lot to me. I know I say that a lot but I don't think you knock how much I mean it.
Thanks a lot again. I'll try my best to do my best in the shortest amount of time possible.
