Chapter 14: Take me home

I stared out the window, upset and not wanting to talk to Kwest. I watched as we passed so many things.

"Jude," Kwest spoke for the first time, "look…"

"I don't want to talk right now," I replied simply.

"We're almost in town…"

"Good, then you can take me home."

"No, I can take you to G Major."

"No, I want to go home."

"They need you at the studio."

"That's too damn bad because I want to go home."

"Sorry, I can't let you do that." He stopped at a red light.

"Fine then." I opened the car door and ran for it.

"Jude!"

She kept running. At this point she just wanted to go home: no more road trip, no more running off. I just wanted to be home.

"I'm home!" I called as I entered my house. "Hello?" I didn't have much time to figure out if anyone was home since the doorbell rang. I opened the door and was pulled out of my house by Kwest. "Let me go!" I demanded.

He shoved me into his car before driving off. "I need you at G Major. If I don't bring you back, then Tommy's going to kill me."

"So that's what this whole thing's been about? You didn't come to get me because you love me; you came to get me because you needed me to be at the studio. Well, that brings up a few questions about last night but whatever." I glared out the window. I was so tired of him.

He stopped at G Major. "We're here."

"I hadn't noticed," I snapped, getting out of the car and slamming the door.

"Jude," Tommy said as I entered the building. "I'm so glad you're safe."

"Whatever." I brushed past him but he grabbed my hand softly and spun me to face him like he had done while we were dating. "What?"

He looked down at me softly. "I mean it."

I looked away from him. Those eyes, those intense eyes burning a hole into me. "Whatever." I walked into the studio and waited for Tommy and Kwest to give me the okay.

"Go ahead, Jude," Tommy announced.

I strummed the first chord.

All that I did was walk over
Start off by shaking your hands
That's how it went
I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight
Oh, yeah, yeah
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you


You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away

No, I just don't understand why
you won't talk to me
It's hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing
Don't talk words against me
I wanted to know you
I wanted to show you

You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away

Make me go away

I tried to belong
It didn't seem wrong
My head aches
Its been so long
I'll write this song
If that's what it take

You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away

You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away

Make me go away
Make me go away

I threw off my headphones, dropped my guitar, and ran out of the studio.

"Jude!" Kwest called, leaving the control room and interfering with my escape.

"Out of my way, Kwest," I snapped, moving to go past him.

He stepped in front of me. "No, Jude, listen to me."

I tried to step past him again but he stepped in front of me. We did this over and over; the moves slowly transforming into a waltz. Once his hand had grabbed mine, my hand had rested on his shoulder, and his other hand had held my waist, I realized this was insane.

"Stop!" I screamed, backing away from him. "Leave me alone!" I ran out of his way and out of G Major.

AN: A slip of the tongue and you end up in a fight. Now I know why I stay out of relationships… Sorry, I can be really bitter at times. Please R&R!
