"Hey Jude." Jamie's voice greeted me back. God, what is this, a conspiracy? I asked myself. "Er, sorry.' Jamie apologized. "Jude hey. How's that?" Man that boy can read my mind. I laughed.
"Much better, thanks. What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing too too much. Just being insanely bored and missing you. How about yourself?"
"About the same… 'cept I'm missing you, not me." He chuckled. "And I'm really tired too. I'm just heading to New York as we speak."
"Ohhh, super exciting. What's on the agenda for while you're there?" he asked, interested.
"Oh, you know the usual. A concert, a few interviews, Leno…" I trailed off, waiting for his reaction.
"Sounds like f… WAIT! Leno? As in JAY LENO!" He didn't wait for an answer. "Oh wow Jude… you're going to be on Jay Leno!" He almost screeched. He seemed way more excited about it than I was.
"Yeah, super awesome, isn't it?" I guess I sounded a little bitter about it because then he asked
"Jude, what's wrong?"
"Uh, nothing. What makes you ask?" I tried to sound innocent. That didn't work too well.
"Cut the shit Harrison. I know you're lying. Now, are you going to tell me what's wrong or am I going to have to fly out to you and force it out of you myself?" he teased.
"Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't tell you… I'd be able to see you if I didn't right?" I could tell he was smiling through the phone. "No, it's really nothing Jamie. I guess I'm just a little nervous about being on American TV in front of millions of people." I was trying hard to sound convincing.
"Yeah, well if that's it…" he paused for a second I heard him say something to someone on his end of the phone. "Jude, I'm really sorry I have to cut this so short, but I have to go. Mom needs to use the phone."
"Alright, that's fine. Love you Jamie." Shit, had I really just said that?
"Love you too Jude." He replied, not missing a beat. "Bye."
"Bye." I mumbled as I clicked off my cell. Love you? It had just slipped out so suddenly and so easily, but did I really mean it? I knew I loved Jamie as a friend, but did I love him like he loved me… like he wanted me to love him? Of course you do Harrison. I reminded myself. You have to. Don't second guess your feelings or else you're going to end up like you always do; alone and broken hearted. You need him and he needs you, so stick with what you've got… with what you can have. "Oh shut up damn it." I said out loud, hoping to drown myself out.
"Excuse me?" I whipped my head about to find Georgia standing in the hall, looking at me with interest.
"Sorry." I hurriedly apologized. "I wasn't talking to you, just the voices in my head." I gave her a small smirk.
"Ahhh, well when you're done shutting them up, you should come out to the TV area. There's something you should see." She teased with a twinkle in her eye. She turned on her heel and walked away. I was in such a hurry to go after I tripped on air and fell flat on my face.
"Ah shit!" I cursed under my breath as I picked myself up and dusted off my shirt. I limped down the hall, as I had managed to hit my knee pretty hard when I fell. "What is it Georgia?" I asked as I went to stand next to her. She stood at the window, looking out. She pointed her finger to something in the distance. I followed her point and let out a small gasp. "Oh my god."
Authors note: Hey those three people that have read my fic so far! Thanks for reviewing and mostly just for taking an interest in my story! I hope I got this chapter up fast enough for ya'll! Just to let you know, this is going to eventually be a JUDE/TOMMY pairing. Someone had a concern, hoping it wouldn't be a Jude/Jamie pairing and I just wanted to let them know…
Plus, I absolutely HATE Jude and Jamie together….. It's so gross! Anyways, read, review, good, bad, whatever. If you have anything nice to say, I would love to hear it and if you have anything bad to say… YAY! I love bad stuff. It makes me laugh. Thanks guys!
