Thanks for Allofthe replies I gotI love what you guyshad to say and thanks for the pointers on the talking, and spacing out the paragraphs. I tried to change maybe it worked.Ok Here's Chapter 1 and this disclaimer. I own nothing to do with Instant Star or Mandy Moore, hope you like it.
That was a year ago, today. Tommy finally awoken from the same dream that he's had every night, he looks up at his alarm clock and rolls over from his side on to his back.
"Today has to be different, she's going to come back, I just know it" that was his pray every morning he woke up, but he was always let down, because every night he would come home alone knowing that she wasn't there with him where she belonged.
"She's been eighteen for six months now, and I've never even gotten a phone call, letter, email not one thing from her." He speaks to himself as if he was talking to someone.
Sure Tom Quincy finally broke but it wasn't until the next morning when he showed up at Jude's house knocking on the door looking for her did he realize she wasn't there her mom came out and gave him a confused look, and it said it all, he just nodded and walked back to his viper and took off he drove like a mad man just out of jail, he drove and drove until he realized where he was, the Pier where him and Jude had their first true moment. He let it all out his anger, guilt and pain. He cried for what seemed like forever but only for a few moments. He gathered all the strength he could have and drove back to the studio and pretended like that morning episode had never played out. Sure, Tommy had girls in and out of his life but none of them compared to her, every time they would as him if he wanted to come up he'd always find a polite way to turn them down, but truly all he wanted to say is that "You're not her" He always found himself comparing the man he once was before he met Jude realizing how ruthless and reckless he led that life, and then he compared himself to the man he became when he met Jude, no more coming into work with hangovers, no more getting phone numbers from girls he'd never call, and no more drama from his PR agents because he landed himself on yet another front page of the tabloids.
Yes, Tom Quincy did cry because he missed her. Yet, Tommy didn't know that the phone calls that he had been getting with a mysterious blocked number on his cell phone were indeed the girl he's been dreaming and wanting to see everyday. Every time he picked up his phone to see the unreadable caller ID number he's say a quick "Talk to me" he could hear someone else on the other line, but convinced himself it wasn't Jude because if it were her, she'd say something, anything.
Yes, Jude Harrison did call Tommy it was almost an everyday ritual for her, she called him just to hear his voice, but she'd always hit that certain code that would block her number, until one day. Jude had thought she punched in the right code, but she didn't and when she called she waited to hear his voice, and this time Tommy finally saw a number on the caller ID but his greeting remained the same
"Talk to Me" was all he answered with but this time he heard something a quite
"hello" and then nothing. He went frantic he ran out of the recording studio hoping for better service, running like a chicken with its head cut off past, Georgia, EJ, and Kwest running out the doors of G-Major until he reached his car and opened his door and hoped in the driver's seat, contemplating his next move.
He went into his received phone calls and found the number he hit the call button and heard the phone ring, there was no answer but it kept ringing, the machine picked up and his heart and stomach filled with Hope, Joy, and yet Pain
"Hi this is Jude, I'm not able to get to the phone right now, but if you need me or" a males voice came after hers "Jake leave us as your name number and a brief message and we'll get back to you soon Thanks. Beeeep"
he closed his phones and his eyes, trying to hide the stinging and the tears that were coming to them. Did she move on where ever she was. Was she happy? Tommy punched the steering wheel of his car, shouting out quite a few curse words and wiping his emotional drained face. He gathered his composer and said a quick "get yourself together Quincy, she's just a kid"
Boy was he ever wrong, he knew it too, she wasn't a kid, she was a women, the women he's missed for the past year, the women he'd give anything to have in his arms to have his lips touch just one more time. She was the women that he wanted to wake up to and fall asleep with every night. yet, it didn't dawn on him how much he wanted her until she left him. That hurt the most, admitting that she left him.
Tommy got out of his car and walked back into the studio to be only stopped by Kwest
"Hey T, where's the fire?" Kwest asked knowing that it could only be two of one things, Jude or Jude. Anything with Tommy was Jude now, even though he wouldn't let anyone know it, it was and only will be her on his mind.
"Oh, nothing just got a phone call that kind of shook me up a little" Tommy accidentally spilled out, regretting even saying something.
"It was her again wasn't it"
"How can I be sure it was her again, Kwest, for all I know this could have been the first time she's ever contacted me."
"Man you know it's her, it's so damn obvious, she longs for you as much as you long for her and maybe now she's realizing how much she's missed you and how much she made a mistake by walking away."
"Yeah right man, I finally get a 'hello' from her and she hangs up and when I go to call her back I get her answering machine and" Tommy running his hand through his hair, leaving Kwest dangling on his every word
"and?" was all Kwest could say.
"And, not only did I hear her voice but I heard a voice of Jake" He said the name as if he already hated the guy.
"Tom, man come on, for all we know that could be her new Jamie or Kat for the matter, I don't think Jude's that stupid to have a move in boyfriend she's been gone only what?" thinking to himself
"One year today actually one year five minutes ago."
"Exactly, you never know T, maybe she's ready to come home."
"Yeah you never know." was all he could say.
While walking back into the lonesome studio he shared with Jude so many times before he made his tired and aching body back to the reclining seat and put the head phones on and listened to the last song Jude had recorded, the last song that spoke from her heart to him before she decided to leave.
"I want to Be with you" By: Mandy Moore
"I try but I can't seem to get myself to think of anything but you
Your breath on my face your warm, gentle kiss I taste the truth, I taste the truth
We know what I came here for
So I won't ask for more
CHORUS
I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you
So I'll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine to hold forevermore
And I'll savor each touch that I've wanted so much to feel before, to feel before
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this
CHORUS
I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you
Oh, baby
I can't fight this feeling anymore, anymore
Drives me crazy when I try to
So call my name and take my hand
Can you make my wish, baby, your command, command
Yeah
CHORUS
I wanna be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I wanna be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I wanna be with you
Oh yeah
I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you, ooo, yeah
I wanna be, I wanna be"
" I want to be with you too." Was all Tommy could say before, he let the tears come from his eyes.
Little did he know the girl who wrote and sang that song, was thinking of him at that moment, deciding if what she was about to do what the right thing.
"Purchase Ticket" she said to herself when she clicked on her mouse key.
OK hopefully that worked I tried and I mean tried to space out the talking and paragraphs like some of the repliers said.!well there you have it.
