-1Okay, sorry for the long delay, but my laptop is totally retarded. Seriously, I have been telling everybody that my laptop is a computer gone retarded. But now I bought a new one. Yeah! Everybody cheer! So no more delays. I am working so hard to finish it for all of you. So please review it and tell me what you think. Thanks a bunch!

"We have the perfect video already planned for Let Me Fall," EJ said at the weekly meeting. "It will speak to all age groups and especially to teenage girls."

"Lets hear it," Georgia said leaning back in her chair.

"Okay," EJ said smiling at Jude. "It opens with Jude sitting at school in the cafeteria or gym and she's looking at a guy, the guy she wants to fall for. The one everybody keeps telling her to stay away from. Her friends catch her staring and they pull her away. New scene at the local diner or teen hangout, Jude can choose where, she's sitting with her friends when the boy walks up and smiles at her but her friends drive him away. End the video at her house in her room where she is staring at the picture of him in her yearbook when she hears something outside. It's him and then fade out as she goes outside to be with him."

When everybody just stared at her EJ looked around in confusion. "What, I think it's a great idea."

"Yeah if you're Hilary Duff or Lindsay Lohan," Jude said rolling her eyes. She stood up and began pacing back and forth. "This song is about so much more than that EJ. If we are going to make a video for this song it's going to be a stage, a crowd of people, a band, my guitar and me. That's all I want."

"That's not going to get you the kind of attention we want," EJ said speaking to Georgia instead of Jude.

Jude rolled her eyes. "That's the kind of attention I want. I want fans who watch a video to hear the song, the lyrics, the meaning behind them. I don't want people to tune into my video to watch a three minute story line that's so bubblegum pop it's sad. I'm more rock and edgy. I won't do a video like that."

"Jude," Georgia said trying to calm her down.

"No Georgia, that's not what I'm about and I'll walk, with the song. We haven't recorded it yet and I won't," Jude said before she turned and walked out of the room.

Tommy watched as EJ started going on about immature artists and she was going to have a rude awakening. Georgia threw down her pen and put her head in her hands. Tommy stood up and decided to leave them to their madness and went to find Jude. It wasn't hard because she always went to the alley behind G Major when she got frustrated, angry, sad, well, pretty much every emotion in the book.

"Hey," he said softly walking up behind her.

"Hey," Jude said sarcastically. "If they sent you out here to talk some sense into me then forget it. I refuse to change my mind." She turned and stared at him for a couple seconds before continuing. "Come on Tommy, you know that song is about so much more than some dumb girl liking some guy that she shouldn't like. It's not even about that at all."

"Jude," Tommy said putting his hands on her shoulders to interrupt her and get her attention. "You are arguing with the wrong person. I agree with you."

"Well thank god somebody does," Jude said leaning back against the railing.

"Jude," Tommy said smiling. "There is no way Georgia would go along with that video idea. If she wanted an artist like that, she would have signed Eden. But she chose you and Georgia knows that video isn't you."

"I don't know Tommy," she said shaking her head when she thought about it. "Georgia's been really weird about my record. She has been going along with EJ more and more. It's like she's trying to change me slowly."

"Well," Tommy said still unsure. He knew Georgia and he didn't think she would do that. She had been so excited when she had found Jude and he could tell why within ten minutes of meeting Jude. She was the real thing and she didn't need stupid videos to make her stand out to the public. She just had to open her mouth and sing. She was right, all she needed was her guitar and a microphone. "We'll just have to stop her then, won't we?"

Jude looked at him out of the corner of her eye. She was still upset and the anger was still pumping through her system but only Tommy could make her smile.

"Okay you two," Kwest said from the doorway. "Georgia wants to talk to Jude, now."

Tommy watched as Jude took a deep breath and followed Kwest back to Georgia's office. He started to follow Jude into her office but Kwest grabbed his arm. "She wants to talk to Jude and only Jude."

Tommy took one last look at Jude who was taking a seat in front of both Georgia and EJ. "What's this about?" he asked Kwest confused. Georgia wouldn't really make Jude do that asinine video, talk about career suicide.

"I don't know man," Kwest said shaking his head. "But it'll be alright. Jude's tough, nobody is going to mess with her and her music. Now lets go get ready to record the song. Jude's bound to be pumped up when she gets out of that office."

Tommy looked at the door one last time before he followed Kwest to the recording studio. He was right, Jude would definitely be ready to record and he would be ready for her.

Jude looked at EJ and Georgia as she took a seat. They were both standing behind the desk reading a piece of paper. They hadn't even acknowledged her presence. She waited another couple minutes before she cleared her throat. This was ridiculous, she could be recording or working on another song instead of sitting here.

"Jude," Georgia said finally taking a seat. "I understand why you don't want to do the video. Believe me, I'm not a big fan of bubblegum pop either. But we sometimes have to do things we don't want to."

"I'm not doing that video," Jude said again. This was one battle Georgia wouldn't win.

"Okay, but then you have to do something else for us," EJ said surprising Jude by giving in. When Jude just stared at her suspiciously she continued. "There's a charity concert coming up. We want you to perform."

Jude shook her head in confusion. "Why would I not want to do a charity performance?"

"Because you will be doing a duet," Georgia said after a moment had gone by.

Jude could tell just by the look on their faces that it wasn't going to be with anybody she liked. But only one name popped to mind and there was no way in hell she would be performing with him. "Not Shay, please say it's not Shay."

"No, not Shay," Georgia said. She knew Jude wasn't going to like it but she couldn't put if off anymore. "You will be performing Eden's new single with Eden."

"No way in hell," Jude said standing up. She heard the door open behind her but assumed it was just Tommy or Kwest. "You have got to be kidding. After what she pulled at my birthday party. I wouldn't be in the same room as that bitch."

"And hello to you too," Eden said walking into the room with some guy behind her.

Jude looked at Eden and then at Georgia. She couldn't believe that Georgia would do this to her. She couldn't even stand to be in the same room as her. But one look at Eden's face and she knew she was going to have to let go of all the anger and suck it up. Because she wasn't going to be the weak one, the immature one. But she was going to get one thing first. She could hear Georgia talking with Eden but she was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she couldn't hear what she was saying.

"I'll do it," Jude said finally interrupting their conversation. "On one condition, a public apology, onstage before we sing."

"You have got to be kidding me," she said rolling her eyes. "I have nothing to apologize for, he just didn't want you."

Jude wanted to slap that smug grin off her face but new that would only make things worse. So instead, she turned to Georgia. "Then I won't do it."

"Good, I'll do it by myself," Eden said smiling.

"Um…no you won't," the guy said standing behind her. He winked at Jude and shrugged his shoulders at Eden. "The charity called for both of you. Not just one of you. So if Jude won't do it, you won't do it."

Jude smirked at Eden. Now it was up to Barbie. She could either suck it up or look like an immature artist. She honestly didn't care if she did the charity or not. She wouldn't mind, she loved raising money for any cause. But it would take up a whole day where she could be working on her album. So either way was okay.

"Okay, I'll apologize," Eden said crossing her arms over her chest. "But you better not mess up my new single."

"Oh, I'm sure it's messed up enough as it is," Jude said before she turned and left the studio. She loved getting the last word in. She made her way to the studio and tried to hurry past Tommy and Kwest. She wanted to sing. She needed to sing. But she couldn't ignore Tommy when he had such a concerned look on his face.

"I have to sing with Eden. At some charity event," Jude said through gritted teeth. She glared at Tommy and Kwest when they burst out laughing. Damn she wished Kat was here. She needed a girl right now. Somebody to back her up when she said she wished Eden would get a face full of pimples and wished all her hair to fall out. No way would the two laughing lunatics be of any support.

"Thanks guys," she said going into the recording room to get started. At least now she got to do the video the way she wanted. That was one thing to look for ward to.
