Chapter 8- Spill The Secret

Jude had lightened up alot since the beginning of the tour. She'd been through the states now,done about 14 concerts since she left. She and Jeff had tried to forget their little mistake on the first night of the tour. Now it was time go to back home for Sadie and Kwest's wedding.

"You finally get to go see him" Jeff said, patting Jude's back
"Yeah..." Jude couldn't help but smile. She was also quite sad because after this week, she had to go back on tour for another four months.

"Hey Jude" Jean said, sitting next to her.
"Hey Jean" Jude looked at Jean, expecting him to say something

"Sadie didn't send me an invite" Jean said

"Oh... well...I'm sure she meant to..."

"Yeah, she did, it was included with mine. Sorry, forgot to tell ya" Shane said. He threw the open envelope to Jean. Jean opened it and smiled intently.

"Tomorrow is the wedding." Shane pointed out

"We all know that, man" Jeff said

"Well, just a reminder. Gotta get all cleaned up and shaved" Shane pointed to Jean and Taylors goatee's forming. Taylor rubbed his and winced.

"Shut up" Taylor said "Its not like you're the most hygenic here" He was right, Shane did have a bit of an odor.

"I think we can all say the only one here that is clean is Jude" Jean said. Jude blushed a little.
"I'm a girl..."
"Cheers for Jude!" Taylor raised his beer bottle and held it up to the ceiling. Taylor was the oldest of the group, he is 27. Jeff and Shane are 22, and Jean is 19. Jeff placed an arm around Jude and drank to that. Jude just laughed it off, seeing as how she and Jean couldn't drink. Well, Jean drank illegaly sometimes, but to put it frankly Jude didn't want to drink. Not after her first few encounters with the law. And even when she will be legally able to drink, she didn't really want to anyway. It tasted gross.

"Hey Jude, is your sister having a theme or something?" Jean asked

"Uh...I don't think so"
"So is this okay?" Jean pulled out a black button down shirt and navy pants.

"Sure" Jude said. She took the black shirt and tossed it aside, grabbing one of Jeff's white ones and handing it to him. "There, so you don't jynx the wedding"
"What's your dress look like?" Taylor asked.
"Uh.actually, I don't know. Sadie picked it out"
"Sadie!" Taylor, Shane, Jeff, and Jean said in unison.

"Yeah..."
"It's gonna be pink!" Jeff said

"And frilly!" Shane said

"and poofy!" Taylor said

"You'll be a disaster of a Jude" Jean said

"Nah, She knows more or less what I like"
"Yes but!" Jeff placed an intimidating arm around Jude's neck and placed his face up to hers, speaking very quietly. "Now that she has her chance to take over you, on HER day, she'll murder your style."
Jeff's british accent was beginning to grow heavier. Jude could tell this was because he was drunk.

"We're here!" Taylor called, retreating from the front of the bus. Jude smiled and made sure she was the first one out. Tommy was standing at the doorway of the bus. She jumped from the stairs into his arms.

"You're heavier" Tommy joked. Jude slapped him playfully. She leaned forward in his arms and kissed him passionately. They didn't stop until they heard one of the boys in the back clearing their throat. Jude went to the ground and stepped out of the way. Jeff threw Jude's bags out of the bus and onto the pavement. Hired workers were pulling the instruments and amps out of the back of the bus. Sadie ran up and hugged Jude before she could even register who was clutching at her neck.

"Missed you too Sadie" Jude gasped for air. Sadie was laughing.
"TOMORROWWWW!" Sadie shouted

"I know!"

"You HAVE to see your dress, it's AMAZING, and I know you'll love it"

"I'm sure I will" Jude said sarcastically. Sadie didn't catch that, but Tommy did, and laughed to himself. "But i'm gonna go home now, nap time" Jude giggled

"Fine fine" Sadie let go of her sister and watched her walk off with Tommy.

"So, how was it? You barely called" Tommy said

"I didn't mean to...I mean you know how busy things were. Besides I called you every night"
"I missed you"

"You have no idea" Jude said "Hey...tommy..."
"Yeah?"
"When I was on tour...I...um..."
"What?"
Jude couldn't find it in her heart to tell him what she had done. Besides, why should she? It didn't exactly mean anything. To her, it didn't anyway. To Jeff it probably meant the world, which made it all the more hurtful.

"I missed you alot..." Jude said. It wasn't a lie, it was just an alternate to what she was going to say.

"I did too girl" Tommy placed a hand on her knee and drove with the other hand. She sighed in relief and placed her head back on the seat. She closed her eyes and before she knew it they were back home.

Jude pulled her bags out of the back of the car. Tommy carried the two heavy trunks. He couldn't imagine what all she brought with her. On the other hand, what all she had brought back.

"Want something to eat?" Tommy asked after they were all settled inside.

"No...I'm too tired"
"Wanna go to sleep?"
"Well, I can wait. I was hoping to sleep in your room tonight, I miss your hugs" Jude playfully tickled Tommy at his sides and he pushed her arms away laughing. He placed his forehead up to hers and stared into her eyes

"You got it" He said. Jude smiled and lifted her face to kiss him quickly before getting up to go change into her pajamas. She bought some Rolling Stones pajama pants while on tour, and a matching tank shirt to go with it, so she wore that. A few moments later Tommy came in with just an undershirt and some boxers. Jude laughed and turned in the bed, bringing the blanket up over her head. Tommy got beside her and brushed the hair out of her face, kissing her cheek lightly. He placed an arm around her waist and they fell asleep like this. Jude hadn't even realized how much she missed this feeling.

"Jude wake up" Tommy said, shaking her lightly. The morning sun was shining on her face so she pulled the blankets up. "Jude!"

"What Tommy! I'm sleeping"

"Well your sisters wedding is tonight...and we have to go to the rehersal like...now."
"LEAVE IT TO SADIE TO HAVE THE REHEARSAL THE DAY OF THE WEDDING! WHO DOES THAT?" Jude yelled, throwing the blankets off her and pacing herself to the bathroom. Tommy laughed. Jude did have a point, it was usual that people had the rehearsals before the wedding. Of course, Sadie didn't like "usual".

A few moments later Jude came out in dress pants and a white T-shirt. Tommy stared at her funny.

"Thats not what you're wearing to the wedding is it?"
"No Tommy" She said "Sadie picked out my dress remember"
"Oh, I saw it by the way. It's...okay"
"Just okay?" Jude sighed and hung her head. She knew Sadie would screw up her style.

"Nope, it's amazing" Tommy said. Jude instantly straightened back up and smiled. She hit Tommy lightly for joking about the dress and then led him to her car so she could drive them to the rehearsal.

"OK OK Everyone, the rehearsal is now OVER" Sadie announced after 5 hours of nonstop music and bells. The time was now 5:30 PM. The wedding was in an hour. Jude and Sadie went to a different room to get changed. 2 of Sadie's other friends were in there already, along with Kat, changed and ready for the wedding. They were her bride's maids. Tommy followed Kwest to a room in the back to get changed into the tux. There were also 3 other men. Tommy wondered if the bride's maids were these men's wives or girlfriends as well. One of the groomsmen was Taylor, another was Jamie. The other guy remained unknown. Tommy greeted them, and Taylor handed him the tuxedo. Tommy went behind the curtain and changed, as did Jude in the other room. Jude walked out moments later with her blond hair flowing down her back. She had her eyes closed, reluctant to see the image of this dress that Sadie picked out.
"Jude, open your eyes!" Sadie ordered. Jude did as commanded and looked in the mirror. She was actually very surprised. The dress was dark purple, and flowed diagnolly down her legs. The top was cropped just a little, and it was sleeveless. Sadie sent Jude in for makeup and hair, and Sadie went to change into her wedding gown. Her hair and makeup was already done. Sadie walked out a few moments later in an elegant white gown. It wrapped around her neck and rested there with lace falling down the back. Her veil wasn't too long, just long enough to cover the back of her head but not the lace trailing her back. Jude smiled and embraced her sister. Then she handed her the bouquet of flowers.

"it's time" Sadie said. Jude could hear the shaking in her voice
"Yep" Jude made her way to the front of the line. She led the other girls out into the hall and walked toward Tommy and the other groomsmen. Tommy was astonished. She looked even more beautiful than he imagined her in. She was also lost in her own gaze. She'd never seen him in a tuxedo before, just a few really fancy suits. He had a pink carnation at the pocket of his jacket. His hair was gelled and spiked up like it usually was, but Jude could see that his face had been powdered a little, and she could also tell that he was very embarrassed about it. She met up with him and formed a double line with the groomsmen. She took his arm in her own, as did the other brides maids with their 'other half' Kwest was in the front of the line. He was first to walk out with his grandmother; his mother had died when he was a child. He still felt that he couldn't be any happier than now. After Kwest made it to the end, Jude and Tommy walked up and tried not to close their eyes as the flash of cameras blinded their view. They made it to the end of the isle and separated onto the two sides. The other bridesmaids made it to the end and formed a line behind Jude. The groomsmen did the same. The music had a slight shift, and on played the famous "here comes the bride" song. Jude hated this song, but today was Sadie's day so she'd cope with it. Sadie was visibly crying as she began walking down the aisle; Stuart at her side. One step, pause, one step, pause. This was the pattern and eventually she made it to the end of the lane. Stuart kissed his daughter's cheek and placed her hand into Kwest's.

After a few moments of exchanging thoughts with eachother, it was now time for the final kiss of the wedding. Sadie turned to Kwest and tried not to cry as he lifted her veil. He bent down to kiss her and Jude had never been more envious of her sister as she was right now at this moment. Jude glanced over and saw her mother sobbing in her seat, and Jude was trying her best not to. She wasn't used to crying when she was happy. It was practically a whole new feeling.

After the wedding, they headed out to the Echo Hotel for the reception. The party room was HUGE. There were a lot of people there, half of which Jude had never seen before. She stayed close by Tommy and watched as other people of Jude's family came up and nudged Tommy. They looked at Jude as if to say "He's a keeper", which made Jude VERY uncomfortable.

The party was going well, everybody was dancing and having a fun time. Many of the people were already drunk, including the band. Tommy wasn't though, he promised Jude he wouldn't get drunk tonight. He only had a few drinks, but not enough to inoxicate him. Jeff was drunk, and brought Jean and Shane some drinks as well. Jude laughed at the sight of seeing Jean drunk. Taylor didn't like to drink. The last Jude saw of Jamie was when he was walking away with Kat somewhere. Jude could probably guess where.

Jeff stumbled by and placed an arm around Jude's shoulder. He was staggering just to stay standing, and Jude could smell the vodka on his breath. He pointed at her with the hand that was holding the drink.

"This one...is amazing" Jeff said.
"Yeah I know. Maybe you should go sit down Jeff" Tommy suggested.

"Fine fine" Jeff kissed Jude on the cheek and walked away. Tommy took Jeff's place and put his own arm around Jude.

"He's so wasted" Tommy said

"Really? I couldn't tell" Jude laughed

Suddenly the dinner rolled in. It was steaming filet mignon and a side of mashed potatoes and snow peas. After a toast given by the parents of both sides of Sadie and Kwest's family, everyone began eating. Halfway through their meal, everyone heard a spoon lightly tapping the side of a wine glass. It was Jeff.

"Everybody, hear hear" Jeff raised his glass to the ceiling "To Sadie and Kwest...Happy Marriage! I could only hope that I get to be as happy as you two look right now" Sadie smiled and grasped Kwests hand. "But, I will not. Because Jude is going to marry Tommy. She kissed me, but she's going to marry Tommy." All eyes fell on Jude. Her eyes widened and she stood up in her seat. She walked over to Jeff and tried to get him to sit down. He wouldn't obey

"No, They need to know" Jeff slurred "I made a move on this beautiful young lady right here"
"Jeff!" Jude cried
"And I thought she was making them back. However...her heart always has and always will belong to Tom Quincy."
Tommy left the room and stood outside. He couldn't believe Jude! How could she do that to him? Jude ran after him, crying lightly. After that little scene had cleared up, the room had quickly gone back to its buzzy self. Sadie hesitated in following Jude, but sat back down to finish enjoying her reception.

"Tommy..." Jude ran outside and took his arm. He shoved her away lightly. She could see his teeth clenched. "Tommy please, I didn't..."
"You didn't care"
"I did care and that's why I stopped!"
"You didn't even tell me!"
"I didn't need to!"
"So I can just go out and kiss some other girl and not tell you?"
"It's different"
"You are on a freaking bus for a month with 4 guys, Jude. You know how much trust I had to have in you"
"Tommy it wasn't like that okay?"
"How can I know?"
"Because I missed you. Alot. and when he was kissing me..it wasn't you. And it's not what I wanted. You heard Jeff in there, saying how my heart belonged to you. It was true"
Tommy grunted under his breath and looked at her. Her face was glittering with falling tears. She took his arm again, harder this time. She wasn't speaking but he knew what she was saying. She was saying sorry in a thousand different ways. Do I trust her? Tommy asked himself. He found his answer and scooped her into his arms, hugging her tightly. She was happy that he didn't think too far into this, and she wrapped her arms around him as well. They stayed holding eachother for a minute or so. Tommy led Jude back inside the building and into the party room. To their surprise, nobody was staring. Nobody was pointing and insinuating. Jude realized that the reason for this was because these people understood her and Tommy's situation. They were her family and friends, or friends of Sadie and Kwest's. They weren't the millions of fans who would do anything to get pictures of a fight and sell them on Ebay. They were the people who took notice and care that Jude and Tommy weren't just famous or formerly famous people. They were real people with real feelings.

"So we're cool?" Jude asked Tommy as they took their seats to finish their dinner
"Yeah...we're cool. Just one thing" Tommy got up from the table and walked over to Jeff. He took Jeff's wine glass, which, as a reflex, made Jeff stand up out of his seat. Tommy pulled Jeffs pants outward a bit and poured the wine down Jeff's pants. Jeff was too drunk to fight, all he could do was burst into complete laughter and fall to the floor. Everybody broke into histerical laughter, and Tommy took to his seat again. This night wasn't so bad after all.
