Another Winter without you

Disclaimer: Don't own the song, Lorrie Morgan does. Don't Own Instant Star.

In a lavish office at G-Major, a television flicked on, showing the latest music video by Jude Harrison Mills.

In the first scene; Jude sat on a elegant black leather sofa, in a ornate living room, dressed in red silk pajamas. She turned on the big screen T.V at the other end of the huge, green room. As Jude watched what looked like the news, a tear fell from her eye and she sang:

Lookin' at the weatherman on the ten o'clock news

He says that there's another cold front movin' through

A cold rain's fallin' and it's turnin1 to snow

I wish that he could tell me something

I don't already know

And I wonder can I weather

Another winter without you

The next setting Showed Jude dressed in an oversized red sweater and fashionably ripped jeans. The sky around her is begining to darken and Jude is walking around a desolate house. She walks up to her house and tries the keys when it becomes obvious that they're not going to work she pops open a window and climbs inside. As she crawls in to the main room that at one time must have hpused a large family, she notices the only funiture is a red, plain couch from the 60's and an old black & white T.v set. All the while she sings:

November skies paint the mornin' ghostly gray Gets dark so early that the nights drag on for days A window pane rattles from the chilled northern breeze And the TV stays on all night long Just to keep me company

Jude walks from the room with the couch and T.V , but instead of entering another room, she is standing on what looks like a highschool stage. Jude walks towards the edge and once there she begins the chours:

Got a chill in my bones

No blanket could warm

I could sure use your arms

in the face of this storm

Building fires for one ain't easy to do

And I wonder can I weather

Another winter without you

The screen changes and we see a Jude with red hair in shorts and a Def Leoppard t-shirt. She is waking past a house with multi-colored flower beds. She bends down and picks a rose. Jude stands back up and continues walking. The camera follows Jude till she stop at the edge of a lake. we only see her back and the magnificent sight of the lake. The camera slowly pans around intill we see Jude's face which slowly gose out of focus as we watch the trees behind her lose their leaves and grow heavy with snow. The seasons behind her change quickly, in a never ending cycle. And we hear Jude sing:

Spring will bring flowers to brighten up my days Summer keeps me busy with the walks along the bay Fall will bring colors with the changin' of the leaves But I'm sure not lookin' forward To the first winter freeze

We flip back to the opening scene where Jude sits on her black leather couch in her red silk pajamas. She is crying as she sings:

Freezin' like these walls don't exist Tremblin' at the thought of your kiss Lonely's been cold but never like this And 1 wonder can I weather Another winter without you.

Jude gets up and grabs a bottle of brandy. She walks out the back door and stands on a deck while she sings:

Got a chill in my bones

No blanket could warm

I could sure use your arms

hi the face of this storm

Building fires for one ain't easy to do

And I wonder can I weather

Another winter without you

Yes, I wonder can I weather One more winter without you

As the screen fades to black Mason , who has been watching from the hall, walks in to the office. "I guess that's why Darius dosn't like for you to write your own songs anymore. Huh?"

"How much did you see?"Jude asked him as she turned her cair around.

"Not a lot of it, but what I saw was good, It about Tommy?" Mason was worried about Jude. The last two years she had become Darius's mini-me. And after Liam's accident it had only gotten worse, she was now Vice-president of G-Major. So now she had all of those dutys as well as being a recording artist.

"No, none of my sons are about Tommy. Jude was clearly irritated as she took the D.V.D out of the player and and pressed the call button for her secretary.

"Jude. I know you miss him." Jude swore violently as Mason qouted "I do belive the lady doth pretest too much." at Jude's wrathful look he quickly contuned "Jude, Tommy came back for you".

"Tommy came back for Tommy" was her only reply. Neither noticed the powerful man hiding behind the doorway.

"Jude do you know why he left?" Mason did. Tommy had told him two years ago when Tommy had offered him a Job at Quincy Records. Mason had turned down the job, knowing Jude would need him. Mason couldn't, wouldn't leave his best friend.

"No and I don't care" was yelled form a livid Jude

"You mean you didn't even let explain" Mason was dumbfounded.

"He left me, Mason, damnit, he left me and that says everything." Jude screamed at her best friend as her husband walked in to the room.

"Did Tom really come back?" Darius asked quitely. He was trying to control his rage.

"He called the night before the press confrence, and I have been told he made it back too late to stop the wedding." Jude answered

"Jude, why didn't you tell me?"

"Becuse this "marrige" took care of my problem and kepted the press from finding out your screct!"

"Damn it Jude" Darius yelled as Mason quitely left the room.

At the secretary's desk you could still hear the couple fighting. Mason handed the secretary, Betty, the D.V.D of Jude's Music video and picked up the phone. Mason dialed the fimilar number and when the phone was answered he said " Kwest, man we gotta do something, I think she about to go over the edge."
