The next morning I was hunting around my room, 'looking' for this pair of boots that I wanted to wear. I couldn't find them anywhere, so I trooped downstairs, "Sadie, would you stop stealing my…" I had heard two throat clearings that sounded suspiciously parental. "Sadie, are you wearing my boots, and mom and dad are right here, right?" I heard my sister laugh, "yes to both." Sadie started to read, "Talk National Exclusive Little Tommy Q gets close with prodigy Jude Harrison." then I stifled a laugh as I felt a parent, my mom I figured wave a magazine at my face. I smiled, "Mom, do you really think I can see that?" She said, "oh, sorry honey, I forgot." I said, "This is so awesome, I made Talk National." Then my Mom sighed, "Jude, these pictures, you and Tommy are awfully close, did he touch you?" I was shocked, "Mom, no way, he's like an ex boy band member." She sighed, "I think I'm calling Georgia anyway." With that, I grabbed the boots off Sadie's feet, after she nudged me in the arm and walked out the door, leaving my parents arguing.
I got to school and everything went along as normal until Jamie came up took my arm and practically dragged me off, I protested because I hate it when people don't tell me where we're going, it makes me beyond nervous. Finally we stopped and he said, "Jude, here, I got you this." he handed me a box which I opened, I carefully traced the object inside, it felt like a guitar pick made into a necklace, so I guessed, "guitar pick necklace?" He chirped an affirmative reply, then added, "Joe Strummer's." I flipped out, "thank you thank you thank you Jamie." I said as I hugged him.
"Jude, I want to take our relationship to another level." Jamie said to me, I froze, I didn't want to date Jamie, I didn't like him like that I told him that, and about the Vinyl Palace performance, and he got all pissed, which was not good.
--------------------------------the show---------
I sat on a ratty couch in the dressing room of the Vinyl Palace, EJ went over the layout of the stage with me earlier so I wasn't nervous, but I was a little sad. Jamie probably wasn't coming, and I felt a few tears leak out of the corners of my eyes. I heard a knock, "can I have your autograph." a wry voice spoke from the door, it was Tommy. I stood, "oh, hey…" I turned away and reached for the lyrics my dad had written out for me earlier. I usually just wrote on my Braille typewriter, then fed it into my computer to have it come out as regular printing. I was lazy today though, so I just read my Dad the lyrics and he wrote them for me. Tommy read the paper, then said in a happy voice, "this is good Jude, this is really good." I nodded, "thanks." I said, as I turned from him again. "You know you should be happy." I nodded, "I know, I know, its just Jamie, we got into a fight, he's not coming tonight."
Tommy sighed, "Jude, I went through the same thing with my friend back in the day, and Jude, I'm your producer, talking the artists through their problems is a part of the job." I smiled, "thank you." I said, gave him a quick hug, he was close enough to me, then E.J called me out on the stage. I smiled, grabbed my guitar, he said, "need some help?" I shook my head, "If you can naviagte around the tree, keep on walking." I said as I walked out the door.
While Jude was on stage, different things were happening in the crowd. She finally gained EJ's approval, her family loved it, and Jamie came. Tommy stood at the back of the club and watched his artist rock the crowd, then he spotted the punk friend who made her cry. He walked over, "she was born for this!" A small argument ensued, and finally Jude finished, walked off stage, spoke to her parents for a minute, then he called, "Jude, over here girl." Jude walked towards his voice, then Jamie spoke and she heard him. Tommy raved, "Jude you tore the roof off the place." Jude smiled coldly, "good, cause I quit." With that, she handed Tommy the guitar and walked away.
