Authors Note: I'm so nervous! I can't wait to see more review responses! I've had a pretty good day so far. I missed the bus for school, and the car broke down, ending in No School For Me! Yay for you, I get to write more.

You guys know I still don't own Instant Star...right?

Jude's POV

I had begun my hunt for my coffee. No one disturbs me without my coffee. I was getting pretty fed up. It had been in a different place every day. I liked when Georgia had the coffee, in one place every day. That would be back to normal again at least.

It took me about 10 minutes to finally find it. I then sipped it and then began to look for Darius. Wouldn't he be shocked to see me. Yeah, this time he can't throw me out. I didn't find him, but I did find Liam, he seemed pretty angry, I couldn't resist laughing.

"Whats so funny? Aren't you supposed to be banned from here?" he asked, obviously irritated.

"No Liam, if you forgot, you can't boss me around now. Georgia owns G-Major now, remember?" I replied smirking slightly.

"Go bug Georgia or something, Blondie! She's in the staff lounge complaining about Decaf coffee. Shoo!" he said motioning me to leave.

"Gladly Liam, I was just trying to find her anyway." I said trying to be polite.

I walked, and I was happy to see that slowly, the Silver, Gold, and Platinum colors on the walls were being painted over. It was back to the old colors. I kept walking down the hall, the old photo's were back up, exact same places. I was glad to have the old G-Major back, it was way to hard to live with people like Darius and Liam trying to change you, and everything you stand for.

She knew that Georgia would never do that. Georgia knew that she worked better singing her own songs, and working with Tommy. Her record sales had been dropping because she had had neither for the time stretch Georgia was gone.

She walked into the staff lounge, and Georgia smiled and said "The check's clear, Darius is ticked, and Liam's fired! Now it's really back to the old G-Major!" I laughed. It was true, G-Major had always been like that, free of angry money obsessed people. That was one of the things she loved about it. "Whoo!" I said excitedly, walking over to give Georgia a big hug.

"Which studio--" I began

"Tom's in studio B, hurry up, he's been waiting twenty minutes." Georgia laughed.

"Move that coffee and we wouldn't have that problem, G." I said turning on my heel before sprinting over to studio B.

I still couldn't believe how much G-Major had changed over those long 6 months while it was under Darius's ownership. They definately weren't changes for the better. I can still remember when Darius had forced me to sing the cover of "Stupid Girl". Why did I listen to Jamie? Tommy was right, highschool boyfriends don't know whats best for music careers.

I decided to do something I never thought I would, I wouldn't tell anyone just yet, well except Tommy. That would require running faster to get to the studio. And that would mean spilling my coffee, so I only sped up a bit, and finally reached Studio B. I saw Tommy's coat, but no Tommy. I figured he'd be back soon, so I pulled out my guitar from the corner of the room, and started playing my newest song "Not Standing Around" maybe it wouldn't have to be a bootleg recording after all. I was deep in my playing, until someone covered my eyes and said

"Guess Who" in a very sarcastic voice.

"Go away Patsy!" I shouted at her.

"Woah. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." she said.

"Go find your boyfriend or something Patsy, I've got work to do." I said getting annoyed. "Yeah, were is Jimmy anways?" she replied.

"It's Jamie, not Jimmy, and go find him yourself." I laughed. I can't believe I was jealous of Jamie getting another girlfriend already. She didn't even know his name! That means that they aren't too serious, or that he's trying to make me jealous, and he picked up the first girl he found.

As Patsy left, I continued playing. Spiederman, plus Wally and Kyle walked in. I didn't notice them. I only realized that they were there when they started playing along with me. I looked up and laughed. I wonder how I didn't notice the most hyper person in the entire world. Speed didn't need coffee, no one would give it to him either. We were to afraid to see how hyper he would get then.

Today we wouldn't be doing anything serious, we'd just be messing around, like last time, maybe I'll be able to sing on my head again, I had thought.

"Ready to start?" A voice said from the doorway.

I turned to see Tommy, sipping his coffee, grinning. Apparently he was happy about the changes being made at G-Major too. "Took you long enough Quincy, we've only been waiting...15 minutes." I laughed and headed to the recording area. Speed and I finally agreed on a song, and we didn't have to arm wrestle this time. We started on Waste My Time, and I saw Spiederman attempting to look like an idiot like Shay was. He really did great impersonations.

We finished three other songs before EJ came in. "Can you guys come out here and help us? We're trying to get all of Darius's stuff packed up, but it's causing us to go blind from all of the silver." She laughed and turned out the door. The five of us followed. I started picking out the things I hated the most and chucking them into a box happily, only a matter of hours until the G-Major look was back.

About 4 Hours later, we were all exhausted. We had packed about 10 boxes each, and Darius had just left. For good. I was recording again, and Tommy was my producer. Kat would be coming to visit from New York in a few days to visit. I never thought so many good things could happen in a matter of days. More like months, because of the time I had to spend under Darius's control. It was time to leave, and I didn't have to search for Tommy this time.

"Hey Tommy, can you drive me to the store real quick?" I asked.

"Sure girl, Your just lucky I have to go to the store anyway." he replied.

"Yeah, now hurry up I need to buy that hair dye!"

"Hair dye? Are you dying your hair again? What color?" he asked all at once.

"Answers are, Yes, and Back to Red. I figured I could dye it back so that another platinum thing was gone from G-Major, plus I have no clue why I even dyed it blond in the first place." I said rushing to his Viper. I jumped in and he put in a CD. I laughed and said "You bought a copy of my CD Quincy?"

"Yeah, good music for driving in your car with the top down. Plus the CD has the best producer." he said, complimenting himself.

When they arrived, they agreed to meet at register 7 in 15 minutes. Jude sprinted off to find the red hair dye. It wasn't to hard to choose. There were only two types of red dye, one was $7.99 and one was $5.50. They were the same quality, so she chose the cheapest one. She still had ten minutes left, but she headed for the register anyway. That just meant she could walk slower.

I glanced at my watch. Only about 5 minutes left. I decided to pay so that she didn't have to wait for Tommy to come, then for him to pay, then her to pay. It would cut time in half basically. I quickly paid and waited, Tommy soon paid too, and said "I still can't believe your dying your hair again." They walked out to the Viper, and Tommy dropped me of at home, I thanked him and asked him to pick me up tomorrow, so we could head to G-Major.

After he left I ran up to the bathroom. Sadie still wasn't home, and neither was mom. I took out the dye and started to spread it all over my hair. This was the easy part. The next part was harder. I had to blowdry her hair while still holding it in place. Sadie could do it, but then again, she wasted half of her life under a hair dryer. But I managed. About twenty minutes later, I jumped into the shower and rinsed my hair with the color improving conditioner it came with. I towel-dried my hair and headed down to the kitchen.

I heard Sadie and mom fighting, so I didn't bother going all the way down. I went up to my room. The clock said "9:30 PM" on it, so I turned on my TV and waited for sleep to come. I was awoken by the annoying beep of my alarm clock. Six AM. I quickly changed, and headed down to make myself some breakfast. I knew this would be a long morning.

I tiredly took a bite out of the bacon I had just cooked. I love bacon, so tasty. I stared at the ceiling. We lived in a pretty good sized house. We had 4 bedrooms, though only 3 were in use. Two bathrooms, and a backyard. Sadie's room and bathroom was above the kitchen. Thats what worried me. When I looked near where her bathroom would be, I saw water dripping from the ceiling. This wasn't good. I started running up the stairs to go turn the water off. When I went up there, there was no sign of Sadie. I did find a letter though. Fearing the worst I took a giant gulp. The letter read:

See Mom, I'm not perfect, I can't believe that I had to flood the house just to get you to come up here to read this. I can't be your little pride and joy like Jude, I can't stand you never noticing me! I can't believe that you're kicking me out just for telling you that I'm not who you want me to be. Mom, thats the final straw. I'm moving in with dad.

-Sadie

I knew mom and Sadie had never been close. She was always closer to dad. But it wasn't true that mom never noticed her. Mom's world actually revolved around Sadie. I thought maybe she was just stressed. But I couldn't believe she had compared herself to me. I cleaned up the bathroom, and I went to give mom the note. Tommy pulled up just in time. I told my where I was going, and left her to let it sink in. This was really unfair of Sadie.

Tommy must of known something was wrong because as soon as I got into the car, he said "Wanna talk about it?"

I told him everything that had happened that morning, and told him how out of character Sadie was acting. It took me a little over 10 minutes to explain what had happened, but it probably would've been shorter if I hadn't kept jabbering about how tasty and delicious the bacon was. I had no clue why, but I was still extremely tired. I've been tired alot lately, maybe I'll try not to stay up 54 hours straight like I did after I got home from tour. I'll just stay up twenty four hours, then sleep on normal time. Then I'll be back on a normal schedule. When the car stopped, I jumped out and went to find my coffee. It only took me about 3 seconds to find it, because it was right inside the door where it had been previously.

I poured some coffee for Tommy, and went to seek out Georgia. I found her in Studio A, with Mason Peters (This years Instant Star) and Mason's new producer. Mason had been an Instant Star for about 2 weeks, and his name was never mentioned in the tabloids. He wasn't on the news. And yet, when I won, I was all over in the tabloids and on the news almost everyday. Georgia saw me walking past and motioned for me to come in.

"Jude, EJ and I are throwing a party tonight, and obviously, your invited. I already told Tommy, and don't worry. There isn't a hula theme. You can invite SME if you want, seeing as you'll be playing tonight! Well, if you agree. I wanted you to sing Twenty Four Hours. So will you?"

"Of course G! I'll call Speed, and have him call Wally and Kyle. I'll have to practice 24 Hours, I haven't even played it since my CD."

After that I headed to Studio B and started to play 24 Hours. It took me a while to get the cords down again, but it was as good as ever. Speed promised to tell the rest of SME, and I headed out of the studio to take a five minute break. When I got back. I recorded a few new songs that I had written recently. Including my favorite, Fade To Black. (A/N Thats a good song, go to to hear it!) Time had been flying by and I didn't notice, finally 4 PM came and it was time for me to get ready, so I headed home, and began to hunt out an outfit.

Authors Note: Yeah, I know it's a little to fast. I have alot on my mind right now, and I already have the next chapter 1/4th done. Did anyone else see the preview for the new episode Viciousness?
