"You what!" Jude yelled, jumping up from Georgia's black leather office couch.
"I know how you must feel right nowJude. But please understand, I made this decision for the benefit of this label" Georgia pleaded.
"The benefit of the label! The label's fine! This business is fine! We don't need him..." Jude argued.
"The label is not fine. You know that perfectly as well as I do! I know you have your personal problems and I sympathize with them but G-Major needs him on our team" Georgia stated, "Were going down...".
Jude sighed in frustration. This label, business, company whatever you want to call it was Georgias life! And with her refusing to work there just because she had some issues with another co-worker seemed selfish. Jude would agree to continue to make great music there but she wouldn't take responsibility for uncontrolable actions that might spring up.
"Fine, but I'm only agreeing because this is my passion. And it's immature to stop doing what I love just because I have...complications" Jude said calmly. Georgia smiled at her. Jude was avoiding any eye contact possible.
"And because I doubt another label would take a washed up 22 year old rockstar who can't even keep a honest relationship if her life depended on it because of some stupid---" Georgia stopped her.
"It'll be alright, trust me..." she said, pulling her favorite client into her arms.
A large inhale and exhale of breath came in and out of Jude. "Right..." she said uneasily.
"Any doubts you have now, forget 'em because I know what I'm doing" Georgia said, resting her hands on Judes shoulders.
"Fine, but I still think this is a bad plan that's going to end up going horribly out of hand. Don't say I never told you so" Jude replied, making her way out of Georgia's office.
Georgia stopped her at the doorway. "And Jude" she said.
Jude turned around, "Yeah?" she questioned.
"Your not washed up. Not even close" she smiled.
"Thanks Georgia" Jude returned the smile, then walked out of her office.
As she was walking into Studio A to begin working, someone caught her eye. Standing near the front doors of G-Major was a woman. Jude had never seen her before and she knew as well as anyone that her curiosity was one of her "worst characteristics".
Suprisingly, she decided to just keep walking. That was until the woman stopped her. "Excuse me, but I'm looking for Burke Watson. Do you know where I could find him?" she asked, looking at the small, rectangular business card that was in her hand.
"Uhh...Burke Watson, yeah he's one of our producers. He should be in his office. It's the one on the left, over there" Jude replied, pointing in the direction of which the woman needed to go.
"Oh, thank you! By the way, my names Priscilla" she shook Judes hand, then went on her way.
Ok...that was really awkward. Jude thought as she shook her head. After the odd encounter she continued to where her planned destination was before there was an interruption in her path.
"Finally!" Kwest exclaimed once Jude entered the studio through the glass doors. "What took ya so long?" he asked.
"There was this woman asking for someone in the lobby so I helped her" Jude replied simply.
"Aww..is that your good deed for the day?" Kwest asked sarcastically.
"Funny..."Jude murmured sending him a sharp glare.
She didn't want to flat out ask, but she desperately wanted to know. Where was Tommy? He should have been here by now. If he was really serious about getting his job back then he would have at least shown up on time!
"I knew it" she said smirking.
"Knew what?" Kewst asked, tampering with some buttons and prepping the soundboard up for recording.
"That Tommy wouldn't show" she replied, still smiling.
"He's here already" Kwest said.
The smiled disappeared from her face. Maybe she wasn't so smart after all.. "Then where the hell is he?" she asked.
"Getting something to drink, he should be back soon" Kwest answered.
"Dude, they didn't have coke soI got Red Bull" Tommy said, entering the room. "Oh! Hey Jude..."
She rolled her eyes at him. "You know that stuff has bull urine in it don't you?" she asked smartly.
Kwest cringed. "No it doesn't" Tommy replied.
"Yes it does" Jude threw back.
"No it doesn't" Tommy argued.
"Yes it does!" she yelled back.
"Would ya'll just shut up!" Kwest intervened. "Arguing wheather or not our chosen beverage contains piss isn't one of my high priorities right now!".
Kwest's "lash-out" shut both Tommy and Jude up immediately. It was true though, they were behaving like stupid first graders.
"Let's just get to work" Tommy growled, settling himself down in his old chair. It felt justlike old times. Except this time there was way more tension built up.
"Do you have any new material?" Kwest asked. His face was still red and his nostrils were still flaring. Jude tried hard not to laugh.
"Yes" she answered him, as if he was stupid.
"Then show us what ya got" he stated.
"Fine, I will" she replied. Her plan to be more mature and less superficial wasn't working out so well. She wanted to prove a point. Show tommy what he's been missing. But so far she was only succeeding in making herself look like a foolish, unstable pre-adult.
She took her place in the recording booth andgrabbed her guitar, placing it in it's proper position. She took a breath and didn't even wait for her cue. She just started to sing.
There's a boat, I could sail away
There's the sky, I could catch a plane
There's a train, there's the tracks
I could leave and I could choose to not come back
Oh never come back
There you are, giving up the fight
Here I am begging you to try
Talk to me, let me in
But you just put your wall back up again
Oh when's it gonna end
Chorus:
How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far
There's a chance I could change my mind
But I won't, not till you decide
What you want, what you need
Do you even care if I stay or leave
Oh, what's it gonna be
(Chorus)
Out of this chair, or just across the room
Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon
How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say
Yeah I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say, how far...
Jude finished the song, threw her head phones onto the ground, went back into the main room of the studio and plopped down on the couch.
"What?" she asked innocently.
Tommy just stared at her.
