Chapter Four : What Have You Done?

---

Jude and Georgia settled themselves into the booth, smiling at each other.

"God, this is so fun!" Jude exclaimed, eyebrows high.

"Yeah…I missed you, Jude. You're a firecracker!" The two of them laughed as a waiter came over and they ordered their drinks. "Red wine, please."

"Club soda," Jude muttered, wanting to talk to Georgia about everything—G Major, Darius…Tommy. "So, Georgia. Why'd you sell G Major?"

She smirked at the younger girl. "Wow, right off the bat, huh?" Jude nodded. "Well, I love music. And with my budget, G Major wasn't going to be dealing with music too much longer. I had to give it to Darius…Just to give G Major a breath of life."

Jude pressed her lips together, frowning. "True, but Darius?"

"I knew he wouldn't mind if I sneaked in once in a while to see everything."

"Oh…"

They were both quiet for a minute until Georgia broke the silence. "So, Jude. Tell me about Tommy."

"Right off the bat, huh?" Jude teased her, a dreamy grin on her face.

"Yeah, right off the bat."

"Georgia, between us girls, I think I'm in love with him. And I think he loves me too."

The older woman took a deep breath. "Jude…You know he's your producer, right? And twenty-three?"

"I know." She sighed distractedly. "But…it seems like he's the only one who really gets me."

"Well, between you and me?" Georgia leaned in close, whispering, "I think you're different than any girl he's ever liked…in a good way."

"Thanks."

Georgia changed the subject skillfully. "So, what are your plans for your birthday?"

Jude shrugged. "Not much. Just hanging at G Major, giant extravaganza in two days, and a quiet family thing after that."

"Cool. What about…tomorrow?"

"Just hanging at the studio all day, I guess."

"Really? With…out Tom?"

Jude cocked her head to the side. "What do you mean?"

"Why don't you just stay home, hang out with your family, for once. Relax…"

"Georgia, you know working with Tom relaxes me more than anything."

"But…" Georgia glanced around. "Tom…won't be there tomorrow."

Jude stared at her, worried. "He won't? Why not?"

"PR stuff…for G Major…in New York."

"New York?" Jude's eyes widened. "But will he be back in time for my party?"

"Oh, yeah…yeah," she reassured the nervous blonde. "That's why he left tonight. So he could be back for your party. He wouldn't miss it for the world."

"But, why didn't he tell me?" Jude pouted.

Georgia smiled at her. "He wanted to make sure he would be back for your birthday, so he took the first flight down. He told me to tell you so he could leave as soon as possible."

Jude shrugged. "Okay."

"So, why don't you take a day off for once, and hang out at home?"

"Alright, I guess. If Tommy's gone."

Speid sighed and collapsed in a chair at G Major.

"Girl troubles?" He looked up and saw Tom leaning in the doorway.

"Like you don't know about it," he retorted, glaring at the older man, who just raised his eyebrows. "I know Jude broke up with me for you. I'm not stupid."

"Speiderman…"

"No, just save it." The guitarist shoved his way past Tom, storming down the hallway. Tom sighed, shaking his head.

Georgia stopped the car in front of Jude's house. "Home sweet home," Georgia commented.

"Thanks, Georgia. For today."

"No problem. Anytime." Jude smiled at her and walked in her house.

Victoria was seated on the couch, a late night talk show on the television. "Hey, Mom!" Jude squealed, all smiles.

"Well, aren't you happy?" She grinned at her daughter, patting the empty area next to her. "Come talk."

Jude settled herself next to her mother and began to tell her about everything…well, almost everything. "Mom, Georgia came back for my birthday and she took me to this wonderful Italian restaurant. It was amazing. And we talked and it was so nice that she was back. And then she told me I should stay home tomorrow because I need a day off. Plus Tommy is in New York, so I can't record anyway. So, I'm home tomorrow!"

"Take a breath," Vic chided with a smile. "That's great. Maybe we can have a spa day? Me, you, and Sadie? Then we can party-plan? You know you may have a huge G Major thing, but you do have a little family thing to plan too!"

Jude rolled her eyes. "I know, Mom. And I can't wait."

Just then, Sadie stumbled down the stairs, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "What's all this noise? Oh, hey, Jude."

"Good morning, Sadie."

"It's morning already?" Sadie looked panicked.

"No, go back to bed." Jude grinned at her sister.

"Sadie, I was just telling Jude that tomorrow, we should take a spa day."

"Spa day?" The older girl perked up.

"I guess my birthday's not all that bad now, huh?" Jude joked.

"I guess." Sadie walked over and hugged her sister tightly. Vic leaned over and joined in, the three of them erupting into giggles.

Georgia watched the Harrisons through the window, smiling at them. Pulling out her cell phone, she dialed Tom, who answered on the second ring.

"You're in New York," she said, a grin on her face.

"I'm where?"

"You're in New York, doing PR for G Major."

"Whoa, whoa…Start over."

"I told Jude to take a day off, hang out with her family for once. And just relax."

"And, so…I'm in New York?" he asked, confused.

"She said she'd rather be at the studio with you. It relaxes her more than anything." They were both silent for a moment. "Stop gloating."

"Sorry." Georgia laughed. "So, why am I in New York?"

"I told her you wouldn't be in the studio tomorrow. Darius sent you to New York for some PR. You wanted to be back for her party, so you left as soon as you find out. She was a little upset you didn't call and tell her personally, but I told her you were in a hurry to get going so you could be back for her party."

"Sneaky, Georgia. Very nice." Tom paused. "Thanks again."

"No problem, Tom."

"So, I'll see you when I get back from New York?"

"You will." Georgia chuckled. "Bye, Tom."

"Bye, Georgia." She hung up the phone and laughed to herself before driving off.

Jude opened her eyes slowly, taking in her surroundings. The sun was shining brightly outside her window and birds were chirping loudly in song. She smiled and sat up.

Today was going to be a good day.

She stood and pounded downstairs to the kitchen, ready to begin her day of relaxation. That was, until she noticed the paper on the table.

Jude,

Sadie and I tried to wake you this morning for the spa, but you weren't very cooperative. We went shopping and let you sleep.

Enjoy your day off and we'll plan your party when I get home.

Love,
Mom

Jude sighed and grabbed a cup from the cupboard. Filling the mug with coffee, she collapsed at the table.
