Tommy swung Jude over his shoulder and brought her into her house. Sadie opened the door quietly and Tommy walked in and laid Jude on the couch.
"How did you know where she was?"
"I don't know…I just had a feeling?"
"Right….I know you're good, but you're not that good"
"Well, uhm, Sadie--"
Tommy was interrupted by a drunken Jude falling off of the couch.
"WHAT'S GOIN' ON?"
"Jude!" Sadie hissed, "Mom's sleeping, I know you're drunk just try and be quiet"
Jude giggled and stood up. She leaned against the coffee table and pushed herself onto the couch. She giggled and murmured.
" (Giggle) Hee heee SADIEEE ! You know Lil' Tommy Q? We went on a DATE Sadie (more giggling)"
Tommy's eyes widened and suddenly he saw in his head Jude Harrison: Horny, Truthful Drunk. His mouth hung open as he watched the two sisters.
"Uhm, maybe I should go…"
Sadie rolled her eyes before she got a chance to answer Jude.
"Do whatever you want Tommy, I'll see you at the studio tomorrow."
Tommy stepped outside the Harrison house into the warm night and let out a deep breath. That was close….too close. It's time to tell Sadie. He got in the viper and drove off.
(Back at the Harrison house…)
"Jude, what do you mean you and Tommy went on a date?" Sadie whispered as she laid her sister down on the couch.
" (Giggle) We went to (giggle) dinner and then (giggle) we went back to his place and (giggles)"
Sadie's heart raced and her eyes widened. Her producer deflowered her younger sister? She didn't even know what to think. Jude was too drunk to be lying now…
" But no no no (giggle)there's MOREEE" Jude's eyes widened as she moved up and looked at Sadie, her face suddenly serious and she leaned in closer to Sadie, "Daddy's having an AFFAIRRR!"
"Jude, you're drunk, shut up"
Jude attempted to get off the couch, but couldn't find her way around, she was seeing double. She suddenly got angry and started yelling.
" SADESSS COME BACK HEREEE! I SAW HIM HE WAS KISSING HERR AND LIKE, KISSINGGGG SADES! I SWEAR HE WAS KISSING HER SADES!" She felt hot tears against the back of her eyes, and collapsed onto the floor.
Sadie ran back into the room once she heard the thud of Jude falling to the floor. She was met by her parents who had been woken up by Jude's yelling and her fall.
"Sadie, what's going on?"
"She's drunk again"
"AGAIN? That's it, once she sobers up, she's going to a shrink, this girl needs help"
" Vic, is that really necessary, she probably went out with some friends and had too much fun!"
"Listen Stuart, getting drunk 5 out of the 7 days in a week is not FUN and she's going to DIE, now she's getting help"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP, I'll help Jude, you two go back to bed"
The parents got up and turned only to be interrupted by Jude who groaned.
"Mommy?"
All the anger Victoria Harrison had toward her daughter diminished once she heard the childlike way her daughter called for her..
She sat by her side, and looked at Jude whose eyes were closed because she was getting ready to sleep.
"Yes honey"
"Oh Mommy you and Daddy need to stop fighting cuz then Daddy'll stop cheating on you"
"Excuse me?"
"He goes out to kissing and was dinner"
"Jude, honey, you aren't thinking straight" Vic looked back at Stuart who had suddenly paled and looked like he was going to pass out. Jude had fallen back asleep. Sadie came and picked her up, and put her on the couch.
"Stuart, what's going on?"
"Nothing Vic, let's just help her up to her room"
"Why is she saying these horrible things?"
"She's drunk, Vic"
Sadie stood back and watched her mother and father. They had been fighting horribly, but for her mom to find out her dad was cheating on her like this was unfair. She took a step back towards the kitchen.
"Stuart, tell me the truth"
"You already know it"
"Excuse me?"
"I'm so sorry Vic but…there's someone else"
Sadie closed the door to the kitchen as she heard her mother scream. Jude was out cold by now. Sadie just collapsed onto the floor and cried…and cried.

The next day Jude arose with a very funny feeling in her stomach, and a massive headache. She saw Sadie sitting in the chair next to her. She groaned.
"Ugh, Sadie, what's going on, where're mom and dad?
"You don't remember anything?"
"About what?"
"Okay so that's a no"
Jude held her head and sat up, squinting from the sunlight that was beaming in through the window.
"Sadie, what happened last night?"
"To sum it up, you got drunk, Tommy brought you home, and you told mom that Dad was cheating on her, and were actually telling the truth, so right now they're at therapy and are probably going to get a divorce"
Jude opened her eyes widely, "WHAT!"
"Seriously Jude. It wasn't bad enough for you to steal my producer, now you have to and rip apart our family? What's wrong with you?" Sadie gave Jude a disgusted look and went outside slamming the door behind her. Jude heard her car start and pull out of the driveway.
How did all of this happen? What was I thinking? Why didn't I tell them sooner?
Jude got up, grabbed a pop tart and went upstairs, and started finishing up the song she had sung for speed. She drank some hot tea to ease her hangover…at least she wasn't throwing up this time. After some time she got frustrated and decided to take a break. She looked in the mirror I think it's time for a change….a drastic change.

"Sadie, do you have anything to work on today?" Tommy groaned. He'd been at G-Major for hours and all Sadie had done was sit and say "yes" or "no". He knew that last night upset her, but something wasn't right. Sadie shook her head.
Tommy sighed. "Look, Sadie, what's up? Obviously something happened. I'm really sorry about last night and everything but maybe if you could just write it out or--"
"Do you really think I have no talent?"
"What? Sadie, if you didn't have talent you wouldn't be here" Tommy lied through his teeth. Talent comes after good looks these days anyway.
"Really? "Cuz that's not what I heard you telling Jude and Kwest last night."
"Sadie, what are you talking about"
"I came by, I wanted you to hear a song when I heard you saying how you thought there was nothing Sadie about Jude because she actually has talent. Maybe I should just get another producer"
"Sadie, I didn't mean it like that"
"Sure, whatever Tommy" The two sat in silence for a while.
"Actually Tom, there's a song I want you to hear…but I need to make a phone call first"
"Um, okay, why?'
"I need Jude for it"
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Perfect Jude thought to herself. She looked at her reflection and smiled at her newly died Ebony Black hair. It was temporary, but she just needed a change for a little bit. Her cell phone rang and she picked up. It was Sadie, and she wanted to play the song the two had written earlier in the week. Jude got ready and walked over to G-Major.
About a half hour later, Jude walked in the door guitar in hand.
"Um, hi, may I help you?" a short Asian woman asked her. She looked Jude up and down and rolled her eyes.
"Yeah…I'm here to see Sadie?"
"Why did she piss off your gang or something?"
Now it was Jude's turn to roll her eyes.
"Look lady, just because I'm wearing a Clash shirt with black hair, ripped jeans and combat boots doesn't mean I'm in a freakin' gang! Sadie's my sister, where is she?"
"Moody, much? She's down the hall in Studio B"
Jude walked into Studio B and was met with three surprised faces.
"What?"
"Jude…what in the HELL did you do to your head?"
"It's temporary Sadie, chill out"
"Thank god…"
Kwest was too shocked to speak, so Tommy spoke up.
"I kinda like it, it's really Joan Jett"
"YES! You get it!"
Tommy laughed, "Yeah, I get it girl, now can we get to work before we just waste more time?"
"It's up to the singer" Jude attempted to smile and looked at Sadie who was trying to smile as well, and she nodded. The two walked into the booth.
" Okay you two, when you're ready"
Jude started to play her guitar and felt her soul being poured into the song even if it wasn't hers.
She heard Sadie's voice fill the headphones meshing with the guitar.
(A/N I kind of tweaked the lyrics)
"It's not her fault thatShe's so irresistible…
But all the damage she's caused
Isn't fixable…
Every 20 seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me…
You don't care
If I'm alive or dead so
Objection, I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
You're in this for free
And I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection, the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, I've got to get away…
Next to her stupid guitar I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet…on the ground, and see what it's about"
Jude looked up. Next to her stupid guitar? Sadie couldn't be talking about her…could she? And what was up with the lyrics, the like completely changed. She was on a roll so she decided not to stop playing.
Objection, I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
You're in this for free
And I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection, the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, I've got to get away…
I wish there was a chance forYou and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
Away from here….
This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three was never meant to be
But you can try it, rehearse it, or train it like a horse
But don't you count on me
Oh don't you count on me boy!
Objection, I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
You're in this for free
And I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection, the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, I've got to get away…"
The two sisters looked at Tommy who was sitting in awe on the other side of the glass. He pushed a button that fed into the girls' headphones.
"That was freakin' amazing, Sadie, why don't you go take a break, I wanna go over some guitar stuff with Jude"
Sadie smiled but was stopped.
"Sades, how can you even think of a guy right now?"
"Jude I just called you here to work on this song. After that, please don't talk to me, I can't deal with your shit anymore"
Sadie walked out and left Studio B.
Tommy had left for a moment to get some coffee so Jude started playing her song.
I started out on the wrong foot
Now I'm not myself
I am Jekyll, I am HydeFound this place to hide
Come seek me
Oh, so up and down
So back and forth
So insecure
Can't get this taste out of my mouth
Swallow it down
Pretend
Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it
I'm just a normal person
Without those problems
When did it change?
Admissions so embarrassing
I'm on the verge of tears again
Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Build a bomb
And blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it
Oh look I took the Band-Aid off
Did I take it off too soon?
Hysterical confession
My big courageous move
Don't gasp at the predictable
A comforting lie can't last
Preordained checklist of this awkward love
It's so sad
Hold it, hold it all in
Let it build up
Oh, build a bomb
Blow it, blow it away
Clear it all out
Just end it
Sort it, sort it out
Just give it back
No thank you
Toss it, toss it away
Eliminate
Just give up
I can't decide
This tug of war
I'm feelin' weak…
Tommy had walked in, in the middle of her song. Why does everything this girl do turn to gold? He thought to himself. He watched as she started to cry, and knew something was up.
He walked inside.
"Rough night"
Jude looked up, surprised. "Wh-What? Yeah, you could say that….what happened last night anyway?"
"You just hooked up with Speed and I found you and brought you home…"
Jude looked away, slightly embarrassed.
"Oh"
"Yeah…"
"They split Tommy" She started to cry harder, and turned to face him.
"What?"
"My pa-parents…I told my mom about my dad while I was drunk and and oh god Tommy" She pulled him in and he held her as she sobbed into his chest, comforting her. The song…comforting lie…it's for her father….
They were so wrapped up in each other they didn't realize Sadie on the other side.
Unbelievable. She thought. Un-be-fucking-lievable.
