As Jude walked into G-Major, she noticed that most of the lights were off except for the ones in Studio A, so she walked silently closer and what she saw she couldn't believe her eyes. It was Tommy, he looked exactly the same, except more tired and his hair was a bit shorter. She quietly turned the knob on Studio A's door and walked in. She noticed Kwest she tapped him lightly on the shoulder he jumped and turned around.
"Jude what are you doing here?" he asked shocked and looking back at Tommy hopefully not bothering him while he was warming up to start recording his new song.
"I came back I told you, you told me to stop by here, because you knew he'd be here." Jude scolded Kwest, knowing now that probably wasn't the best idea.
"OH, Yeah, now I remember I just didn't think you'd take my advice, now take a seat Tom's about to start recording he came up with a new song today, and you and I are going to get the first listen."
"Kwest I don't know, don't you think he'll freak out if I'm here let alone eavesdropping on his new single?" Jude said shifting her weight back and forth on her feet.
Kwest grabbed her arm and pulled her into the seat Tommy originally sat in and held a finger over his mouth telling to be quiet, when he hit the button and spoke.
"Ok, Tom we're ready when you are"
"We?" Tommy asked "I thought we were the only two here?" Tommy gesturing to himself then to Kwest asking impatiently getting ready to take of his headphones and walk out of the recording booth. Jude started to get antsy was he about to walk back in here or would he record his song first. Kwest picked up on Jude's awkwardness and spoke again.
"Tom, it's just me and you and our little Hula dancing girl. So start the song already and stop procrastinating!" Kwest mumbles annoyed and took his finger off the button. "I could be home right now sleeping, but no he's been getting inspiration like crazy since you've been gone."
"Oh, really never thought I'd be the girl to finally get Tommy to start recording again."
"Well you are and you did, now let's see what he comes up with." Kwest answered to Jude and then Tommy's voice filled the room.
"Ok I'm ready."
"Alright, Here we go."
There was a pause then a rhythm on the guitar started, and Tommy's voice filled the Studio A.
"Far Away" by: Nickleback
"This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving
Hold on to me and
never let me go"
As Tommy finished the song, Jude could hear his pain, and it was to much for her to bare, the tears started to form and spill down her cheeks, she excused herself and left the room, and ran out the doors.
"Tommy, that was great take a break, I need to make a phone call." Kwest said rather quickly jumping out of his seat, hoping to catch Jude before she left. Tommy Just nodded his head, when he saw Kwest race out of the studio, he then walked out and took his seat, and noticed something, a cell phone, he picked it up and opened it and saw, his and Jude's picture as the background. He then studied the cell phone.
"I know this cell phone, this is her's that means she's here."
Tommy jumped out of his seat and raced out of the doors and then he saw her and Kwest talking, he stopped dead in his tracks she looked so beautiful, her hair was a little shorter then the last time he saw her granted that was a year ago it was the same red though, he smiled knowing that she would never change her hair. He then remembered why he stopped to hear the conversation her and Kwest where having, he quickly hid behind the wall separating himself from them.
"Jude, Jude, what the hell just happened back there?"
"I'm sorry Kwest, I thought I was ready to see him again, but after hearing his song, the pain he felt from me leaving, he's not ready to see me even if I'm ready to see him." Jude admitted willing wiping her tears away.
Bullshit Tommy thought to himself, he's been ready for the past year to see her, except he had no idea what he would've said to her when he did see her again.
"So that meant you had to run out right when he finished his song? Jude I don't get it. You called me last week asking how he was doing and now that you know and now that you've seen him, you're ready to leave again?" Kwest asked angrily.
He didn't understand, she was so eager to hear his new song and now that she's heard another one admitting how Tommy did feel about her leaving, she's ready to take off again.
"No, Kwest, I'm not going to leave again, I'm here, I'm back for good. I made a mistake by leaving, I didn't realize how much I hurt him and I hate myself for that, I broke his heart this time, Kwest not the other way around and I'm not sure if he can forgive me for that."
Jude pleaded with Kwest for him to understand and he must have because he walked over to her and took her into a hug and told her.
"Tom Quincy could never hate you Jude, you're everything he's ever dreamed of, you're even more." Kwest said soothing at her.
While this whole conversation took place, Tommy became almost mad at Kwest, how could his best friend lie to him, not tell him that the girl he's been missing for a year is coming back. Kwest watched him mope around wanting nothing more than to curl up in his own world and leave the real life to deal with out him. Then Tommy began to question himself. If Kwest knew, did that mean Georgia knew, what about her parents and sister, did they all know too? As Tommy thought all of this Jude's cell phone began to chime in his hand he quickly opened it to read.
"Tommy's 25th Birthday"
He smiled again and then looked back at Kwest and Jude.
"Does anyone else know that you're back?" Kwest asked as he let go of the embrace.
"Yeah, my parents, Sadie, and Georgia." Jude wiped away the last of her tears
"So when are you going to talk to Tommy?" Kwest raised an eyebrow at her
"I don't know, when he's ready I guess.. Tomorrow's his birthday, maybe I should come see him then?" Jude pondered the thought.
"Yeah, maybe of you could go see him now?" Kwest gave her a little nudge.
"Actually she shouldn't bother, seeing how right now I don't think I can stand to look at either of you." Tommy spoke with an angered voice. Tommy decided to be angry with them for not telling him that she was coming back.
"Tommy" was all Jude could she saw him holding her cell phone in one of his hand, she mentally kicked herself for leaving it there. She wasn't sure if she should go to him or stay there, so she didn't move.
"Jude, Kwest, hey best friend of my how nice of you to tell me that the girl I've been missing for the past year has decided to come back on the night before my birthday. Well isn't that a great present Happy Birthday TOM!" He spoke enraged. He walked over to them gave Jude her cell phone looked at Kwest and nodded and walked away to his viper driving off into the night, leaving a stunned Jude and Kwest.
