"Well That didn't go to well." Kwest said as he watched Tommy's car fade out of sight.
"Yeah, obviously, I told you he'd hate me for coming back and now he hates you because I told you to lie to him about me coming back, I'm sorry." Jude said as new tears formed in her eyes
"Hey, it was my choice to keep it from him, I don't think he'd even believe me if I told him you were coming back, I knew he'd have to see it for himself, and now he did."
"Yeah what do you think is going to happen next?" Jude asked hoping Tommy just drove away angry and went home.
"I don't know Jude, he probably went home to clear his head, and get some sleep. You know tomorrow's his birthday, you could go see him." Kwest said giving her an encouraging nudge towards the studio.
"I highly doubt he'll want to see me, weren't you just here, when he flipped out on me?" Jude looked at him as they made they're way back into Studio A.
"Yeah I was there, but come on it's Tommy, he was shocked and surprised to see you again. If you didn't see he nodded at me before he took off, that means he just needs some time to think. So back to you." Kwest said giving her a quant smile "Have you written anything since you've been gone, because I noticed you came in here with you bag." gesturing to her bag.
"Yeah I wrote a couple of songs, but I'm not sure if I should record them seeing how Tommy was just in there, his stuff is still in there."
With a push Jude was forced into the recording booth, and then her bag was being thrown at her feet.
"He'll get over it, now find the song that you want to record, because after that scene outside I'm not tired anymore." Kwest smiled at her and took his seat back and put head phones on and nodded at Jude to start when she was ready.
"Ok, fine if you say so"
Jude started rummaging through her bag , found her notebook opened it and started flipping through the pages, she found the song she was looking for, because she smiled to herself and then looked up at Kwest. She then put it on the stand in front of the microphone, and put her head phones on.
"Ok I'm ready, this song is called, I will Remember You" Then Jude smiled and she start to sing, with out any instruments, because she didn't know whether it was going to be on acoustic or the piano.
"I Will Remember You" by: Sarah McLachlan
"I will remember you
will you remember me?
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
how clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I will remember you
will you remember me?
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
standin' on the edge of something much too deep
it's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
we are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
but I will remember you
will you remember me?
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose
clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
you gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
will you remember me?
don't let your life pass you by
weep not for the memories
And I will remember you...
Weep not for the memories"
Kwest, sat the in awe, he didn't know how to take that song, it truly spoke of everything that Jude and Tommy have ever felt for each other. As he sat there he watched Jude wipe away more tears that came to mind. And he quietly spoke to himself "T, man you better figure yourself out, because she needs you."
"Kwest How was that?" Jude asked
"Jude it was great, now lets clean up and head home, big day tomorrow, I think."
"Yeah I have to come in and talk to Georgia, and sign some papers."
"Ah, yes, you're signing a new contract, umm who's going to be your Producer?" Kwest asked knowing that Georgia already had a name in her head, the only person who ever wrote good music with her was and will be Tommy.
"I don't know that's why I have to come in." Jude spoke quietly.
"Alright let me make one phone call and I'm out, I'll lock up go home and get some sleep."
"Ok, yeah I'm tired, Jet lag I guess."
"Wait Jude one more thing, Who's Jake?"
"Oh, Jake that's just Sadie's friend I stayed with while I was in Colorado why do you ask?" Jude looked at him
"Oh no reason, 'cept you might want to tell Tommy that because he thinks you have been playing house while you've been gone and you've been playing it with Jake."
"Same Old Tommy, always jealous when I'm around the opposite sex, Jake and I are just friends, besides he's Gay." Jude laughed at Kwest's reaction.
"I Knew, it he was another Kat. Oh alright go home Jude, see you tomorrow possibly."
She smiled softly at him, came back into the sound board area and gave him a hug and said a quick "see you in the morning" and she was gone.
Kwest dug out his cell from his pocket and hit speed dial "1" and waited for the person on the other line to answer.
"Hello" A husky voice came through on the other line.
"Tom, it's Kwest, where are you?" Kwest wanting to know so he could meet up with him while he was taking Jude's newly polished song and transferring it to a Cd, so he could have Tommy listen to it.
"I'm at home, why? Are you going to bring someone else that I haven't seen for a year or more to greet me?" Tommy said bitterly
"No, man T, calm down, I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't believe me, and I wanted you to find out by seeing her, I just didn't know you'd freak out like you did."
"How was I supposed to act Kwest, Man, Damn It I haven't seen her for a year, and people knew the people I've confided in everyday knew that she was coming home and didn't even bother to give me a heads up, show's the respect and honesty I get."
"Tom, Calm the hell down, I'm coming over is that ok, maybe we can discuss this a little more rationally."
"Yeah, sure what the hell, but hey is she mad that I left the way I did?" Tommy on the other line running his hand through his hair and then scratching the back of his neck.
He didn't mean to come off as harsh, he was just taken aback, and now he doesn't know whether or not seeing Jude again would be the right idea, but his heart wanted nothing more than to see her smile again.
"No, T she was more angry with herself, because of the way you found out that she came back, she wanted to see you but that song shook her up."
"yeah man I heard you two talking, so are you coming over or what?" Tommy asked while rubbing his tired and red eyes.
"yeah I guess I can make it over, unless you want to talk tomorrow."
"No, actually I want to be alone tomorrow, it's my day off, and I need to think, unless something comes up."
"Or someone comes up." Kwest added with a smug smile on his face.
"Dude, shut it and get over here."
"Alright I'm on my way. See you in a few."
"Yea Ciao."
The both hung up their phones one with a smile on their face, and the other, wondering what Kwest needed to talk to him about. Tommy then walked through his house and sat on his leather couch and shifter his eyes to the mantle over his fireplace. There a picture of him and Jude dancing on her seventeenth birthday, he stood up and walked over to it and held it out in his hands, he traced his fingers over her face and her hair, and smiled to himself. He knew things were going to get better between him and Jude he just needed time and so didn't she. He went over to the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee knowing that Kwest would want some because they'd be there for a while.
Jude was driving home in her mom's car, when she past the street to take to her house, she kept driving not knowing where she was coming until she pulled up a familiar neighborhood that was hushed and dark. She made her way down the street and parked in front of a familiar apartment building and she just sat there, staring up at the window that she knew was his and she cried, because she hurt him, she cried for leaving him, and she cried because she wished he understood why she left and why she came back. Then she turned off the engine and sat there for a little while.
Tommy poured himself a steaming cup of coffee, when his buzzer rang he walked towards the door and opened it and was greeted by a face he wanted to see the face that would give him some insight about the stuff that just happened an hour ago.
"Hey"
