Jude was late, which wasn't a surprise. Tristan had wanted to celebrate, and Jude had a hard time telling him no, because she also knew that she was going to have to give up her job at the coffee shop. So despite the fact that Jude had made it clear she had a family dinner at 7:30, on the other side of town, Tristan had made his famous blueberry coffee crum cake, and that was something she would be late for.

It was nearly 8 before she made it to her dads condo, swinging open the door with apologizes already pouring from her mouth. "Sorry, Tristan, and the guys, it took longer to get away than I had planned for, and I missed the bus." She would have continued, but the site of her sister, sitting at the counter, positioned, waiting for her, made her stop almost dead in her tracks.

Yes she had been expecting Sadie to be there, and in reality her apologies were more for her sister than her dad. Jude's father knew that if he said 7:30, she'd be there by 8. She was rarely on time. But the way Sadie was looking, the smile on her face, how her foot bounced in her heel.

"What'd I miss?" Jude asked slowly, as her father came in through the sliding glass door, a plate of cheese burgers in hand.

"Well, I called to invite your sister over, and she has news of her own that she wants to share." He said slowly, unsure of what Sadie would say, and if Jude had told her sister.

"News?" Jude asked raising an eyebrow at Sadie, the last time she had news was when she won a trip to Cancun, Jude could only hope this news would be along the same lines, and she could keep her album to herself.

"I got my first ever internship today!" Sadie squealed.

"Oh honey, that's great news!" Stewart said going to hug his eldest daughter. "I am so proud of you! Where is it? What will you be doing?"

"It's the most perfect thing in the world. One of my sisters helped set it up, and it's going to be perfect for us." Sadie said reaching to hold Jude's hand.

Jude could feel her stomach drop. Why would anything be perfect for either of them? Sadie had always looked out for herself. "Where at?" she asked, looking at their hands.

"G Major!"

Jude was sure she had gone deaf, and to most artists that would be terrifying through, never being along to hear a chord again. But she was wishing that it was true in that moment, she was wishing she couldn't hear and that Sadie hadn't really just said G Major.

"G Major?" Stewart asked, knowing the thoughts running through his youngest daughters mind. "Jude's label?"

"Well now it's my label too!" Sadie beamed. "One of my sisters works there now, but she is going to study abroad, and since I already know Jude, they thought I would be perfect there! This is my first real chance to get out there and see what it's like to work in business. I mean I know I'll just be answering phones and whatever, but still, it's so exciting!"

Jude said silent for a moment, watching Sadie talk about G Major like she was already a part of it somehow. But it only took a few minutes before she started to laugh, it was soft at first, then harder.

"What's so funny?" Sadie asked, hand on her hip, glaring at her sister.

"This has to be some sort of joke, like a prank the guys put you up to." Jude laughed. There was no way it would be real. None.

"Jude, honey, I don't think Sadie is joking." Stewart said placing a hand on her shoulder and guiding her to a chair.

"It has to be." Jude said as her laugher started to die down. It had to be a joke right? No one would really hire her at G Major, would they?

"I get my first real job, and you're laughing about it. This is why I have sorority sisters, because they don't laugh at me!" Sadie snapped.

"You're serious?" Jude asked, looking up at her. Sadie's face had turned hard, her eyes pricing down at her. "No." Jude said standing up, pushing her father's hand away. "Sadie, that is my label, mine. What part of that don't you get? Why do you always have to go after everything I get?"

"Excuse me?" Sadie asked. "I am not going after anything that belongs to you. G Major belongs to Darius Mills."

"That's not the point Sadie! The point is, it's my label, that is where I work. You can't do this!" Jude told her. "Dad, tell her, she can't do this!"

"Sadie." Stewart looked between the two girls. If he had foreseen this happening he would have talked to them both separately, like he use to when they were children. "You need to see where Jude is coming from. She has a real chance of making a name for herself at G Major, they just got signed for a full album."

"Don't!" Sadie pointed at her father. "You always take her side, no matter what. Why can't you both just be happy for me? Mom and Don would be happy for me, they wouldn't tell me that I couldn't work there, just because of some stupid album Jude is doing."

"Don't bring mom into this!" Jude shouted at her sister. "And he's not taking my side, he just knows I'm right!"

"Don't yell!" Stewart told both girls.

"You're just doing this to meet Tommy, aren't you?" Jude asked suddenly in a calm voice as if it was all clear now. "That's what this is all about!"

"No, this is about me figuring out if this is the route I want to take with my life. We weren't all born daddies favorite." Sadie rolled her eyes. "I'm going home, to the only place I'm supported!"

"Sadie!" Stewart pleaded, but it went unheard, and the door slammed shut a second later.

"Ugh!" Jude shouted, throwing her hands up in the air. "I can't believe she is doing this! She always gets what she wants."

"You know that's not true. I try to be fair with both of you." He said as the two sat back down at the table.

Jude looked at her father with knowing eyes. "Dad, name one time that Sadie hasn't gotten what Sadie wanted."

"Well, hmm…" Stewart had to think. "Last summer, she wanted me to lease her a BMW."

"Mom did it instead." Jude sighed, bring one foot up to rest on the seat of her chair.

"Okay, well when she was little, she wanted a pony." He told her.

"And you guys bought the ranch house, next to that horse camp. Where I might add she got to go for six summers, but when I asked, you and mom said no because it was Sadie's thing." Jude was frustrated. She knew that now G Major would become Sadie's thing as well.

"If I remember correctly, you were also allergic to horses, and Sadie said it was her thing." Stewart told her, but knew that Jude had a point. "What can I do?"

"Nothing, no one can tell Sadie no." she reached for a hamburger before setting it down on the plate in front of her. "She ruined my appetite."

Stewart looked at his daughter, the pain and frustration was clear as day on her face, and it was hard for him to know that he couldn't do anything about it. "Jude, what if you don't let her take it?" he asked in almost a whisper. He didn't want to pin her children against each other, but he also didn't want to see Jude loose something that meant so much to her. "I love your sister, but we both know that she has other things on her mind."

"Yeah, my producer." She mumbled.

"Well why don't you let Sadie try it, don't go out of your way to make it easier on her, but don't make it any harder. She will get bored with it once she sees that it's not all glamorous and famous people." Stewart knew his daughters.

Jude couldn't help but smile at her father as he pulled her in for a hug.

"And on a different topic, I am so proud of you. My daughter is going to have a real album out." He laughed as he held her to him.

"Thanks dad, you're the best." Jude knew that he was right. Once Sadie saw what she wanted, and got a real taste for life at a record label she would move on to something else. It was only a matter of time, but Jude was more worried about surviving that time than her sister leaving.
