Jude hurried across G-Major's core and only stopped when she stumbled across a person who she suddenly felt a great urgency to speak to.
"Karma!" called Jude striding over to Karma.
Karma looked up at Jude as she approached. She appeared slightly shocked, and then covered it with a usual apathetic look when it came to Jude. "Well if it isn't Jude Harrison. What is it that you so desperately need to speak to me about?" asked Karma crossing her arms across her chest and shifting her weight to one side.
"Karma" said Jude ignoring the looks Karma was giving her, while all the same trying to be nice. "Look I was just wondering if you've seen Spied anywhere".
"Spiedy's recording at NBR till four" sighed Karma looking down at her nails "But he'll be stopping by later. Something about rehearsal for the Finale with Kyle and Wally…" trailed off Karma.
"They're in the Finale too?" asked Jude feeling her heart start to race.
"Well duh Harrison" sighed Karma, letting her mouth hang open slightly in her usual fashion "nearly everyone is. Not to mention since me and you are performing we need our backings".
"You wouldn't happen to have your music for the opening with you?" asked Jude her heart starting to pound.
"No it's at home" sighed Karma looking down at her nails again.
Jude felt her heart fall slightly, but she shrugged it off "Well, umm yeah, if you see Spied can you just tell him I'll be there for rehearsal later?" asked Jude.
Karma continued to study her nails "Yup" she sighed apathetically, before Jude took that as her moment to leave and strode out the front doors.
A cold breeze whipped against Jude's face, and she pulled her scarf tighter around her neck and shoved her hands inside pockets as she rushed down the sidewalk and down to the parking lot. Jude unlocked the car door quickly and slid into the driver's seat before turning on the Viper and driving off to the apartment.
Jude wound down the now familiar roads and flicked on the radio as she drove. The sun was slightly less bright from earlier today but it blazed on none the less and Jude slid on Tommy's sunglass once more.
It wasn't too long before Jude swung the Viper into the driveway. She killed the power to the engine and grabbed the grocery bags in the passenger seat before sliding out of the driver's seat and rushing up the front steps and into the apartment. Jude slammed the front door behind her and unwound the scarf from her neck as she walked down the hall. Jude ditched the bags on the island with a light toss before scanning the apartment.
"Where did I put you" murmured Jude under her breath as she passed through the doorway and into Tommy and hers bedroom. She flicked on the light and paused as she racked her brain again. "Bag!" exclaimed Jude as her gaze caught sight of her beaten up brown leather backpack she usually always carried…today by irony, she was not.
Jude strode across the bedroom and pulled open the bag digging through it for the manila envelope Darius had given her the other day. Jude pulled it out of her bag and hugged it to her chest. She closed her eyes and silently said thank you. It was killing her to know what it contained. A song yes, but why was this song 'exposure of her life'.
Jude peeled her eyes open and walked back out of the bedroom. She kicked off her Vans as she walked into the living room part of the apartment and flopped down on the couch. Then Jude stared at the unopened envelope in her hands. Her heart started to pound against her ribs again and Jude breathed slowly out of her mouth before she reached down and opened the flap.
