Chapter 6 - Gotta love Birthdays Part 1
Jude and kat had breakfast and spent the morning getting ready for her party. She had light blue eyeshadow on with black eye liner and just a dab of lip gloss. Not too much, she never liked to over do it. Also, she was wearing a blue shirt that had the words "Rock Star" on the front, plain blue jeans, and her converse. Kat on the other hand was wearing a white strapless top that tied in the back with some black jeans and some flip flops, her hair was in its usual frizzy style and she was still working on her make up.
"Feel any older miss harrison?" Kat asked, finishing the last touches of her eyeshadow.
"Oh yes, soon we're going to be doing this make up thing getting ready for my wedding and then i'll have a dozen kids and I guess my music career will go down hill from there." She laughed at her own silly preminitions.
"Well we gotta find you a husband first." Kat looked away from the mirror and over at jude, wiggling her eyebrows.
"We? i'm perfectly capable of finding a husband, I dont need help." She threw some crumpled up peice of paper that she found on the floor at kat.
"Why are we talking about this anyway? i'm 17..I dont need a husband!" Kat laughed.
"No but a boyfriend would be nice, wouldn't it?" She closed the cap to her lip gloss. Jude shrugged. Kat put the lip gloss on her dresser and then sat next to jude on the bed.
"You know speiderman likes you, right?" Jude laughed thinking kat was just playing around.
"I'm serious! you didn't know?" Kat asked surprisingly.
"Are we talking about the same speid? you know..a little taller than me, skinny, plays guitar in sme.." Jude went on trying to grasp the concept that there very well may be truth to kats comment.
"Yep." Kat smirked at jude after seeing her reaction.
"What? why are you looking at me like that?" She asked, backing her face away slightly.
"You like him, don't you?" Kat asked, smiling.
"What? I-" Judes cell phone started ringing, cutting judes sentence short. She fumbled with her pocket and finally got it out.
"Hello?" It was porsha, she told jude to get to the studio asap. Jude agreed and smiled at kat, relieved she didnt have to answer the question.
"I gotta go to the studio, you'll be at my house later?" She asked, getting off the bed.
"Yep about 6, dont have too much fun there. Save some energy for us!" She waved and jude literally ran out of the house and raced to the studio. She got there and bolted through the door. The minute she stepped in porsha pulled her into her office without letting anyone see her.
"Ok ok i'm here." She pulled her arm away, rubbing it. Porsha held the dress up and twirled it, allowing jude to see the front and back.
"What do you think?" Jude smiled and took the dress.
"It's perfect." She hugged porsha.
"Happy birthday sweetie." She then handed jude a white gold chain to go with the dress.
Jude admired it.
"I dont know what to say." She whispered.
"Just say you like it..you do like it don't you?" Porsha questioned.
Jude looked at porsha and almost laughed at her crazy words.
"Like it? I love it!" She embraced porsha again. She then insisted that jude put on the dress, it was already 1:30 and the whole get together was suppose to be in about an hour. Porsha walked out for a few minutes, letting jude change. When she came back she was speechless and for once jude felt shyness wash over her.
"That bad?" She looked down and fidgeted a bit.
"Its beautiful," Porsha insisted, holding a pair of high heels to go with it. Jude put them on, completing her birthday outfit.
"Alright, now, go to hair and make up." She instructed.
"Aww come on, porsha, I already have make up on and my hair looks halfway decent." She protested, pointing to her face and hair. Porsha smiled.
"Just go." She pushed her towards the door. Jude walked down the hallway groaning, she seriously didn't want to sit in a chair for an hour waiting for some guy to make her look like a porcelain doll, it just wasn't her. When she reached the door to the dressing room her lips curved into a frown. She opened the door slowly.
"Happy birthday!" Everyones eyes were on jude. She looked beautiful and more mature than they had ever seen her. It was sad in a way, their once 15 year old instant star was one year closer to 18.
"Aww, thanks you guys." Her eyes immediately fell on tommy who was standing in the back of the room, leaning against the wall. He smiled at her, taking notice that she was staring. Jude did the same and then looked away quickly, not wanting it to be too obvious that she was checking him out..though this wasn't the first time.
"So i'm guessing I dont have to get my make up done then?" She walked officially in the room and then went around to everyone, saying hello.
"It looks great in here, but still, you didn't have to kick me out yesterday!" The room wasn't all that decorated but it still looked great. It made her feel like a little kid again. Kwest turned on one of judes newer songs and everyone sat around talking about good times and even some bad times at the studio. Jude watched tommy from the corner of her eye and noticed him glancing over alot. She felt kind of bad, she hadn't said hello to him yet and the party had already lasted almost an hour so the first chance she got she broke away from the group and walked over to him, he was now talking to darius. When the two men seen her walk over their conversation ended. Jude hugged darius tightly and he in return patted her back in a manner to show her he couldn't breathe. She smiled, blushed, and backed away slowly.
"You look great." He smiled back at her.
"Yeah you can thank porsha for that." She giggled.
"Where is she anyway?" Darius asked, scoping out the crowd of peple.
"I think she's still in her office." She looked at tommy who seemed to be zoned out or something.
"Well, I'll leave you two to talk..happy birthday jude." Darius nudged her arm and then went to search for porsha. Jude called out 'thankyou' and then turned towards tommy.
"So.." She leaned on the wall next to him which seemed to bring him back to himself. He looked at her. Her smile faded and soon concern took its place. When she looked at him she noticed something different about him, he was pale and was dripping with sweat.
"Tommy, are you alright?" He whiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed in deeply.
"Yeah, I'm ok." He wasn't feeling that well..well it was more than that, he was a nervous wreck.
She smirked.
"Don't get sick on me quincy, it's my birthday and you still have to come to my house after this." She reminded.
He had totally forgot about that. Lex would be there...
He tensed up and started to ball his fists, jude noticed.
"Mom and lex aren't staying long.." It seemed like the right thing to say at the time.
"I don't know jude, sadie will be there." His eyes fell to the floor and he remembered their last conversation.
Flash back
"Tommy you're scaring me, please say something."
"Sadie..I like you, I really do but..I'm sorry."
"Why tommy? I thought we were doing good."
"I just-I have feelings for someone else."
"I knew it! It's jude isn't it?"
"You don't know her."
"Oh don't give me that tom, it's jude..it's always been jude."
She got out of the car, slamming the door behind her.
"Sadie!"
End flashback
It wasn't good, he wasn't sure how well she would take it if he did go..he never meant to hurt her but he couldn't go on being with her when he felt something for someone else, something so much more and something actually real.
"Tommy?" He looked back up and met jude's eyes.
"I want you there..I need you there." Thats all he needed to hear, it was a done deal.
"I'll be there." She smiled and nodded.
"Where is the girl of the hour?" A voice called out through the crowd. A few people pointed to jude and the person came up and hugged her.
"Georgia!" Jude felt over-whelmed.
"Hey girl, how has everything been?"
The two stood catching up and tommy felt out of place so, after giving georgia a quick hug and saying hello he walked over to kwest and started another conversation.
"Hey man, how's it goin?" Kwest asked, noticing how tense tommy seemed.
"Not much man." His eyes never leaving jude.
"You aint lookin' too good." Kwest watched him stare at jude, he was amazed.
"Tom, how long is this going to go on?" He asked, getting irritated with whatever game tommy was playing with jude, he didn't want jude to get hurt in the end, though it seemed as though it always happened that way.
It took a minute for tommy to figure out what kwest was talking about but when he did he wasn't exactly 'happy'.
"I told you, nothing is going on." His voice was emotionless.
"You're making yourself sick over it, this isn't good for you and we all know it's not good for jude." Tommy whiped some more sweat from his forehead.
"I'm fine." His eyes stinging from the salty substance.
"Is she 'fine', tom?" He asked, pointing to jude.
It hit him then, how was this affecting jude? they talked it over already, she said they were fine..they were friends again, everything was okay..right? He watched her laughing and smiling with georgia. Tonight he wanted everything to be perfect for her..he had the greatest plan for jude's birthday surprise and hopefully everything would work out fine.
Kwest took a sip of his drink and then spoke again.
"You need to tell her tom, stop denying it." And with that he walked into the group of people, leaving the words to eat at tommy's thoughts.
Now it was around 5:30ish and everyone started to say their goodbyes, except the few that were going to jude's house.
"Georgia, you are coming right?" Jude pleaded, she missed georgia so much. Don't get me wrong..darius was a good manager but georgia had always been there for her and she understood what she was going through most of the time.
"I don't know sweets, I have to catch a plane back to the states tomorrow morning and I still have to find a place to stay and get settled in for tonight." She didn't want to dissapoint the young girl but, what could she do?
"I'm sure tommy wouldn't mind if you stayed with him." Jude offered.
"Well, I wouldn't want to intrude." Georgia knew he'd let her stay with him for the night but she didn't want to invite herself over there.
"Tommy!" Jude yelled across the room at tommy who was sitting at a random table, watching people talk and fool around. He got up and walked over to the two women.
"Yes?" He asked.
Georgia smiled, 'still the same tommy..jude calls and he jumps.'
"Can georgia stay at your apartment tonight? I want her to come to my party and she needs a place to stay." Judes excitement clearly showing through her voice. He looked at georgia and in return she shrugged.
"Yeah you can stay." He smiled at her warmly.
"Alright then." Jude said, hugging tommy.
"Thanks." She backed away.
"Anything for a friend." He then smiled at georgia.
"Alright well you want to go get your stuff unpacked?" Tommy asked, walking towards the door.
"Yeah, my stuff is in the car." She said.
"We'll be over later jude." He assured. They all walked out of the dressing room and then out of the studio.
Jude grabbed a ride with kwest who was also coming to her party. They didn't talk much in the car, after their last conversation there wasn't much to say. They reached the house and jude jumped out of the car, kwest laughed.
"Slow down!" He yelled as she ran up the driveway.
"Yeah right!" She said with a smile.
She oppened the door...
