Chapter 19

The next couple of months were insane for Jude Harrison, the original instant star winner. She played every weekend at clubs to get some more hype over her music. Twice she was booed off the stage. Tommy and Jude were at a loss as to what to do and Darius was threatening to revoke her contract. On top of dealing with Jude's record sales, co-writing lyrics, and producing Jude, Tommy was also doing the above things with Patsy, except, trying to get her out there and heard. Everyone at G Major was wound up and things weren't looking to improve.

Jude sat behind stage of her next big performance. She was hoping this one was going to be better than the others. Patsy was just finishing her opening song and came off the stage looking happy. She wished Jude luck and stood behind the curtain to watch the first Instant Star winner. Jude was getting her good lucks, and she was sad that Tommy couldn't make it that night. The long hours at the studio were taking their toll and he was out with a minor cold.

Jude stepped onto the stage and smiled out at the crowd. No one was really paying attention and she cued the band to play for her opening song, Criminal. She stood before the mic and began the opening chords, and sang into the mic.

"I wont deny,
I faked it don't wanna lie,
I'm jaded I wanna scream,
but Inside I'm breaking down
I've lift the stone, I was under
I'm running home, you won't find her
She walks alone, all through this broken town

Going the wrong way down a one way street
Where the feeling is criminal
Nobody helps me out when I bleed" Jude stopped as something was thrown in her direction. Jude quickly recovered and continued the lyrics.
"(just look, look)
Looking for someone like me
Where the feeling is mutual
Can anybody see what I see
Cause I don't see me" There was random objects being thrown at the stage and a chorus of boos coming from the crowd. The band kept playing, but Jude couldn't continue to sing. She stared in disbelief at the crowd and she felt some kind of food hit her face. Tears came down her face as she turned and ran off the stage, trying to keep herself from sobbing.

2 Hours Later

"This is not what I had in mind Jude." Darius stated sternly, not looking pleased at her.
"I know." Jude said, trying not to cry.

"Look, Jude, you know I love you, but you're loosing me money." Darius stated, and Jude nodded. "I'm going to have to revoke your contract if your sales don't start to turn around. I'm giving you three more months." Darius added. Jude nodded. "That's all." He said.

Jude stood up from her chair and left the office. Jude walked through G Major and went down into the basement. She wanted to be left alone. She didn't want to talk to anyone and the one person she wanted to talk to, didn't have time for her. Jude stared at her cell and sighed. She hit 2 and waited as the phone rang. "Please pick up…" Jude muttered as the phone rang a fourth and fifth time.

"Hey,"

"Tommy!" Jude said, and went to continue, but his voice cut her off.

"Sorry, I'm not in right now, leave a message." Jude felt her heart sink and just hung up the phone, not even bothering to leave a message. She sat against the damp wall and felt tears come to her eyes once more as she remembered her performance just a couple hours earlier. She stayed in the basement for a period of time that she didn't know for sure how long, clearing her head before she went back up and entered Studio A alone to work on her new songs.

The door to the studio opened and Jude glanced up, hoping to see Tommy standing there. She felt her heart sink when she saw Jamie.

"Hey Jude, let me in, I just wanted to see"

Jude flung herself in Jamie's arms. "Oh, Jamie." She said, feeling like she was going to cry again.

"Look, Jude, I was looking everywhere for you…" Jude glanced up and looked at Jamie, confused. "You forgot." Jamie said, looking disappointed.

"Jamie, I don't know what.."

"We were supposed to meet after your show…"

"Oh my god, Jamie, I'm so sorry, it's just"

"Would it kill you, Jude, to act like my girlfriend for two minutes?" Jamie said, looking annoyed. Jude dropped her arms from around Jamie, and stared back in disbelief.

"Jamie"

"No, Jude. I can't, I can't do this. Not anymore." Jamie stated, looking sad.

"Jamie, please don't do this, not now." Jude said, knowing what was coming.

"You're never around, and when you are, Jude, you're not with me. I guess, I guess Kat was right." Jamie said, looking sad.

"Jamie, please."

"No, Jude. I have to do this. I thought…God, just once, I thought the geek could get the girl; but I guess not. What an idiot I am to think that Jude Harrison would like me! I mean, you dated Shay, you crushed Tommy…what made me think I could ever have a chance? Smart geeky Jamie; the-boy-next-door?" Jamie said, looking angry.

"Jamie, I'm sorry. My sales have"

"I'm tired of hearing excuses Jude. I can't do this anymore, we're over." Jamie said, leaving the studio and Jude who began to cry again.

After Jamie left, the doors opened once more. Jude glanced over and saw patsy. Jude let out a groan. "OH, it's you." She said, feeling disappointed it wasn't Jamie.

"I heard your fight with your friend…" Patsy said, and Jude scoffed. "I think after the day you've had, you need to go and unwind."

"I don't want to go out." Jude stated, feeling miserable.

"I know just the thing to make you feel better, really." Patsy said. Jude stared at Patsy and sighed.

"Fine, whatever." Patsy smiled big and grabbed Jude's hand. "Come on!" Patsy said, and the girls left the studio and went out into the night.
