Chapter 8: Vows
To Kwest and Sadie...:
Sadie sat nervously in a dressing room that had been provided for the wedding. She and her husband-to-be had only arrived in Vegas moments before. She sighed as a make-up artist started working on her eyeshadow. Normally she would be doing her own make-up, but she wanted to look best for her wedding and leaving that for a professional seemed like the best choice. She shut her eyes as the woman spread a light shade of pink eyeshadow on her eyelids as another woman was doing her hair.
Sadie looked into the full length mirror to examine herself. Her hair was in very loose curls cascading over her shoulders in a very sophisticated way, her make-up was nearly neutral, but that was the look she was looking for. Her dress was not a traditional wedding dress with frills and very long. Quite opposite actually. It wasn't even white. Her dress was periwinkle, made of silk, and went just about to her knees. It had a V-Neck like many of the outfits Sadie wore. She gave the mirror one last glance and sighed. She was extremely nervous. This was not the wedding she had pictured.
The wedding she had pictured was at her house, under a tent with her entire family there. But she realized not all dreams came true. She wasn't regretting her decision to marry Kwest, she was just a little upset that her mother and father couldn't be there on her wedding day. There was no freaking way she was going to back out of this. She waited until one of the assistants to the holy-man or whatever they were called, she thought it was preacher or minister, but she didn't care, came out and told her that the wedding was to begin soon.
Sadie's stomach did a flip and she instantly smiled. Soon she would be Sadie-- wait.. Kwest was taking her last name so she would still remain Sadie Harrison, but he would become Kwest Harrison. She liked the sound of that. The traditional wedding march came on and Sadie waited a few lines until she stepped out. As soon as she was out of the room the music was changed to a song that was by Jude. She had chosen the first song by her so that she could at least tell her that she didn't forget about her during her wedding. She looked, no stared, down at the alter and she saw Kwest in a tux and his eyes were beaming at her. Her stomach flipped again. She finished walking down the aisle and she and Kwest exchanged vows and then came the final part.
"You may now kiss the bride" the man said, but Kwest and Sadie had not waited for that instruction. They were already in each others arms and the kiss had seemed to last at least an hour though it was only a matter of around 30 seconds. They made their way out to Sadie's bug and hopped in. They made their way back to G-Major, even though they knew everyone would be furious with them for running out to Vegas to get married. They had a long drive to look forward to. But they would be making the drive as Mrs. and Mr. Harrison.
-To Jude And Tommy-
"You were right." Tommy stated to Jude still in shock. "I can't believe Kwest would do this."
"I didn't think Sadie would do this either. She always dreamed of having her family with her at her wedding. I can't wait to yell at them when they get back." Jude said quickly.
"Well don't make them too angry. I need to get some yelling in too and it wouldn't be fair if you got to do all of the yelling." he smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "We should probably call your dad and let him know so he can get some yelling in also." He smiled and Jude dialed the number and waited. One ring...Two rings...Three ring...And finally he picked up.
"Stuart Harrison here." he answered happily.
"Dad! Bad news..." she started before getting interrupted.
"Oh God, What is it, is mom--"
"It's not about mom." she paused. "Sadie and Kwest have been dating behind our backs while she was going out with Tommy and she and Kwest ran off to Vegas to get married."
"Oh God! Dammit Sadie! Why can't she just finish school then get married? She was supposed to have a future, she won't be able to finish college now that she's married. I was supposed to walk her down the aisle!" he nearly was screaming and Jude was desperate to calm him down.
"Dad, Dad, Dad! Calm down! Just come over here and you can yell at her in person. Just don't kill anyone. Kwest inparticular." she was using a voice that most people would use on a frightened dog.
"Be at G-Major in a few hours" he mumbled and clicked his phone shut angrily.
-Kwest and Sadie a Few Hours Later-
The couple soon pulled up in front of G-Major and Sadie soon recognized her fathers car, Tommy's Viper, and Jude's Mustang.
"Oh Shit! I didn't think they'd still be here!" Sadie yelled out agitated. "Maybe we can sneak away unnoticed..."
"Too late." Kwest said getting out of the car when he saw a very furious trio approaching the Bug. Kwest tried to run away but Stuart Harrison blocked him and started bombing him with questions. Tommy held Jude back but let her yell at Sadie because he was afraid she would seriously injure Sadie. Jude had a temper when she wanted.
Sadie stopped taking all of the anger from Jude and faced her dad. "I'm moving in with Kwest, so I'll be getting my things tonight." she said before rolling up the car window and motioning for Kwest to enter the car. She quickly drove away before anyone could protest. They all sighed and Stuart went home while Jude and Tommy went back to the studio.
Jude went inside the recording area and said, "Sadie's left me feeling inspired. I have a few lines and a chorus..." she took a deep breath and began to sing. (A/N These lyrics are 100 MINE! I wrote them!)
I don't need this,
I don't need you,
Get a clue,
All of the lies you feed,
That I believed,
I can't take it!
Your not who I thought.
Chorus:
Get a clue,
Take a hint,
I'm over it (Over it)
This is supposed to be your punishment.
You Never really cared,
I never should have dared,
To give you a second chance,
All of the mistakes you made,
The feeling won't fade.
Chorus:
Get a clue,
Take a hint,
I'm over it (Over it)
This is supposed to be your punishment.
This is supposed to be your punishment.
She faded out of the song and waited to give her the signal to come out of the recording booth. He smiled at her and said "I thought you said you only had a few lines and the chorus."
"When I said that that was the truth, but it sort of just came to be as I played." she admitted.
She quickly hugged him and said "My sister and your best friend are idiots."
"For once I second that. I can't believe they didn't at least tell us face-to-face." he replied.
"Well, this could be a good thing, I hope..." Jude laughed. None of Sadie's relationships had lasted long really. So Kwest must be different.
"Now go ahead and get your coffee while I do the mixing, the part that I get paid to do." he joked.
Jude ran out of the room to get the coffee as she usually did when Tommy was mixing. She drank all of hers in a grand total of two sips, so she had to refill before she headed in. She started walking back to the studio when she was stopped by Georgia.
"Hey Jude, how's the new track going?"
"Good. Wait, G, how did you know we were working on a new track?" she glanced over at Georgia.
"Well, I didn't but you just told me, I saw the whole thing in the parking lot, and figured you'd write about it. Plus thats sort of what your job is, to write and record the songs." Georgia laughed and looked down at the two coffee mugs.
"Don't want to keep Tommy waiting, get him his coffee before it gets cold and you have to run back out here to get more!" she turned on her heel and headed in the opposite direction that Jude was headed. She opened the door very quietly and sat on a couch in the studio until Tommy finally set down the headphones.
"Jude, you do realize this is the last track for your second album right? We gotta get to G." he smiled at her and she reached for the disk in his hand, but he pulled his hand even higher.
"Tommy! Not fair! Gimme the disk!" she yelled jumping trying to reach the disk.
"Oh fine." he said with a laugh. They walked with arm in arm, basically skipping to Georgia's office. Tommy stood at the door and knocked three times and then kicked the door. Jude looked at him quizically then stopped when Georgia said "Come in Tommy." Must have been some sort of secret code, Jude thought to herself.
"G, We finished. Listen" Tommy said before popping the disk into a stereo on Georgia's desk. He moved back to Jude and squeezed her hand reassuringly. So far Georgia had liked all of her songs so she wasn't too nervous, but Georgia could always turn a song down.
As the last two lines played Georgia began to smile. "I love it. Consider this the last track on your second album! Now I just have to make some arrangments if you'll excuse me." she walked out the door and Jude screamed in joy.
"It's finished! It's finished!" she jumped up and down and ran to hug Tommy. He was looking at her insanely. She started running in circles and fell over on the couch nearby.
"I think you've had too much coffee, Jude." he said helping her back up.
"There is no such thing as too much coffee." she said in a mysterious voice and leaned against the doorway. "No such thing as too much coffee." she walked out to the G-Major kitchen and started fixing herself something to eat. She could just go home, but this was much more interesting.
All for tonight! Sorry for the wait!
