Chapter 9- wasted

Jude woke up serenely after a full nights sleep. She missed waking up at noon every morning and making her cup of coffee. When she was on tour, she had to wake up at 5:30 every morning, even on weekends! There was the occasional day out of the week where they were just in the bus driving around, but even on the bus she couldn't sleep well. All they bumps they drove over, the boys acting stupid...She was just happy to be home. She turned around to give Tommy a kiss but noticed that he wasn't even there. She forgot that she stayed in her own room that night.

"Morning" Tommy said as Jude walked out of her room. She yawned heavily and slouched in the dining room chair.
"You actually let me sleep" Jude said

"You needed it" Tommy lifted her face and rubbed her eyes which had rings under them. He smiled sweetly at her and let go.

"Ugh, I must be the horrid witch to you"
"Haha, close, not quite"
"eh, well, whatever" Jude laughed, seeing as how she was slowly becoming fully energized and alert. She grabbed a cereal bar and began munching at it.

"You know, one of the fans threw a rose up on stage for me" Jude said in between bites.

"Yeah?"
"Yep. It's hanging above my bunk in the bus"

"That's nice"
"How come you never throw me roses when I'm on stage?"
"Not my thing I guess"
"Hmph"
Jude fnished the cereal bar and threw the wrapper away in the garbage. She walked over to where Tommy was sitting and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist so she didn't fall.

"I don't want to go back!" She pleaded

"You know you do" Tommy said

"Yeah..but...can you come with me now?"
"You know I can't Jude"
"Can't kwest cover for you?"
"He's on his honeymoon...remember?"
"Oh yeah...till next week..." Jude thought for a moment. "Well what if you stayed here until Kwest came back, then when he does, take a plane and come to wherever I am at the time.

"With you on a moving bus, it's gonna be kinda hard to pick you out, right?"
"Ugh! 4 months!"
"It's gonna be okay..." Tommy said. "Well..no it's not"

"HA! Told you!" Jude kissed him and got off of him when she felt his legs tense. She walked off to the bathroom to take a shower.

Tommy sat in the dining room chair longer, brushing his fingers along his forehead. Jude had managed to kiss some other guy when she was gone for one month...so imagine what she could do with a guy in 4. Tommy quickly swept these thoughts from his mind in denial. I trust her! I do! He told himself. He turned on the TV to see Scarface on. That was his favorite movie. Today however, it was his worst enemy. He didn't even care to watch it. So he turned it off and walked to his bedroom, shoving his face under his pillow.

He hadn't even realized he'd fallen asleep until Jude tackled him moments later, laughing histerically. He was startled and woke up. He shifted himself under her so he was facing her. She barely weighed anything to him so he couldn't feel much pressure on his stomach from where she was sitting on him. Her wet hair dripped onto his arm, tickling it. He tried to wipe it away but found that his arms were caught under her legs as well. She surrendered the torture and scooted off of him sideways, laying her wet head on his shoulder.
"Gah! Jude! That's cold!" He yelled

"Hehe, maybe next time you shouldn't fall asleep"

The water got warmer as he got used to it on his shoulder. She kissed his arm lightly and looked up to face him

"I think we should just stay like this all day"
"Me too"
They spoke too soon when the telephone rang. Jude groaned and reached for it. The caller ID said "Unkown". Jude scrunched her eyebrows in bewilderment and picked it up, putting her finger to her mouth to silence Tommy.

"hello?"
"Heyyy Jude!"

"...S-...Spied?"
"The one and only!"

"Hey!" Jude said with more excitement, and she could tell Tommy was getting jealous. She sat upright in the bed indian style and continued talking.

"Where have you been?"
"Around...I live in New York now. Kyle and Wally and I made it big in the states"
"Nice! I'm happy for you"
"Yeah...and we're going on tour yunno...in Toronto. I was just wanting to know if you'd like to hang for a while"
Jude's smile turned into a frown.

"After the last time we hung out?"
"I don't remember that day" Spied lied

"You..me...Tommy...you tried to..." Jude needn't finish her sentence.
"OH that! you're still with Tom?"
"Yeah.."
"Well that's good. Bright and Dandy."
"I guess"
"But I'd still like to see you. No move-making, promise" Spied stuck his hands up in the air, as if she could see him anyway.

"uh..." Jude glanced at Tommy. "I guess...that's okay...when?"
"I was hoping maybe ...now?I'm there already"
"Sure.."
"Alright. I think I know where I'm gonna take you" Spied was smiling and Jude could tell, so she smiled back. "Bye dude"
"Bye jerk" She joked. She hung up the phone and sat there smiling. She glanced over to see Tommy staring at her.

"What?" She laughed

"You're going to see Spied?"
"well I can't just say no!"
"Why not?"
"Cause...I sorta miss him"
"Great" Tommy got off the bed and began walking toward the door.

"No Tommy, not like that! He was a cool friend. I love you remember?"
"Yeah..."Tommy stopped, but decided to go out into the kitchen anyway since he was hungry. Jude followed him out and grabbed her car keys.

"What happened to staying in bed all day?" Tommy asked. Jude smiled at him seductively

"Later" She said. Tommy felt taunted and grinned as he resumed cooking. Jude walked over and kissed him on the cheek.

"Bye bye!" She called out

"Seeya"

Jude was walking out to her car when she stopped in her tracks. Spied was standing before her eyes, leaning against his own car. He smiled at her and walked toward her.

"Hey!" He approached her and embraced her warmly. She took in his scent and hugged him back.

"It's been like..2 years" She said

"Naw, really now?" Spied said. "Hop in"

Jude obeyed and stepped inside Spied's car. He got into the drivers seat and handed her a hankerchief

"Whats this for?"
"Cover your eyes, you can't see"
"Why?"
"Just cause" Spied placed the hankerchief over her eyes and tied it tightly behind her head. She couldn't help but smile and imagine all of the places he would think to take her to.

She felt the car come to a stop and she brought her hands to her eyes to remove the hankerchief. Spied stopped her and told her to wait a few more moments. She could hear him fiddling with something in the glove compartment and she started to get suspicious. She raised her hands to her face again and this time Spied didn't object to it. She took off the hankerchief and saw her surroundings. Her eyes widened when she saw where they were.

They were on the edge of a cliff.
"Where are we!" Jude cried. She and Spied got out of the car and sat at the edge of the cliff, staring down at the city.

"I found this place when I was a kid..I came here alot to think..about you know, my parents, and the choices I make. And now.." Spied pulled out something from his pocket and brought it to his lips. He took out a lighter and sparked the flame, lighting it.

"Spied...you're on drugs!" Jude asked

"Want one?" Spied handed her a bag.

"No I don't want one! This is aweful"
"Jude, come on. I mean, We're rockers this stuff is what we live for"
"Not me"
"I always knew you were a poser"
"Spied!" Jude could tell by the expression on his face that he was slowly getting high. He smiled at her and leaned forward, placing his head on her lap. She moved backward, making his head hit the dirt ground.

"What the hell!" Spied asked, standing up.

"Spied...what's happened to you?"
"Haha relax dude, it's just a little bit. I'm not an addict"
"Yes you are!"
"Naw, Wally and the Kyle do it only like, twice a week. It's totally cool"
"This is not cool!" Jude snatched the car keys dangling from Spied's pocket and walked toward the car.

"What are you doing?" Spied asked, staggering to get up.

"Driving you to your hotel. Which is it?"

"You aren't driving my car! Not after you beat up Tom's viper!"
"That was 2 years ago! GET IN THE DAMN CAR"
"okay okay" Spied stepped on the joint and got in the car. He shut the door and placed the bag back into the glove compartment.

"Where are you staying at?"
"Jude just let me drive"
"WHERE ARE YOU STAYING AT!"

"Holiday" he said. Jude began driving toward the world famous Holiday Inn. She helped him out of the car and up the steps to his room. Wally and Kyle walked to the door.
"HEEEY Jude!" Kyle said. "what's eatin ya?"
"Out of my way" Jude pulled Spied in the door and shoved him on the couch. She handed his car keys to Wally, then left.

She raced down the stairs and dialed Tommy's number. He answered almost instantly.

"I need a ride" She said "Holiday inn. Hurry up"

"Be right over" He said. He hung up and a few moments later Tommy pulled up in the parking lot. She got in the car angrily and slammed the door.

"What happened?" He asked.

"He wanted to hang out with me so he could get me to do drugs"
"What! You didn't did you?"
"Yeah Tommy I did and thats why I'm so pissed right now, NOT high, not anything...Just...ugh"
"Somehow I don't think that's all thats bothering you"
"He called me a poser..."
"Jude you know thats not true" Tommy said

"Well what if he's right? I mean, I try to be myself, but..." Jude looked down at her shirt, which was baby blue and she had a brown corderouy jacket over it. "I even got all...girlish...to see Spied"
"That's not girlish..its just not your usual wardrobe choice. I thought I saw that stuffed in the back of the closet.
"You did"
"See there?"
"But..."
"You're not a poser, and he's a loser"
"Right" Jude agreed. She sighed and calmed down. "Thank you Tommy...I love you so much" She wrapped her arms around his neck

"yeah yeah I love you too ,but, jude!" Tommy tried to push her away from him. "I'm trying to drive."
"Oh right..heh..." She laughed and released him from her grip. When they reached their house, they were shocked to see who was in their driveway bleeding..
