Jude pulled into the driveway and immediately saw Kat and Jamie, hanging outside of his house.

"Hey." Kat started hesitantly as she and Jamie came over to Jude's car.

"Hey, She said back, giving them a smile.

"You okay?" Jamie asked.

"Yup, I talked with Chris." Jude put her hands in her skirt pockets. "We're still together."

"Oh that's great!" Kat exclaimed hugging Jude tightly, but then pulled away. "What about Tommy?"

Jude rolled her eyes as she started for her house, keys jangling in hand, Jamie and Kat close behind her. "What about Tommy?" She asked innocently.

"Oh come on Jude, he came back on your 18th birthday." Jamie pointed out.

"So?" She asked as she unlocked her front door, stepped in, and went towards the kitchen.

"So," Jamie responded, taking a seat at the counter. "Obviously he wants you."

Jude laughed at this as she pulled three glasses from cupboard and set them on the table. "Please, I couldn't care less what Tommy Q wants. I couldn't care less that he's back." Jude popped open the fridge and fished out a bottle of Ice tea.

"Tell it to someone who hasn't been your best friends for millions of years." Kat said, plopping down next to Jamie, not believing her.

Jude started to pour the Ice Tea, but stopped when she saw the looks that they were sending her. They totally said 'We don't believe this crap for a second.' She huffed as she finished pouring and then sat down next to Kat with her glass as they reached across the counter for theirs. "Fine, okay? Maybe I care a little that Tommy's back. But it's strictly on a professional level. He'll do wonders with my album."

"But on a personal level..." Jamie asked, taking a sip of his drink.

"Maybe I'm kinda glad that's he's back on that level too," When Kat smiled at her knowingly, she quickly added. "As a friend, okay? That's it. Besides I'm not even sure about that. He's being so pigheaded about Chris and I, like he gets a say in who I date." Jude scoffed at this.
She was about to add something else when her phone rang. She saw the caller and picked up the phone.

"Hey EJ. What's up?"

"Jude, I know you just left but Georgia wanted to let you know that there's a meeting at 9 tomorrow, kay?" Ej spoke into the phone.

"Okay, about what though?" She asked, curious.

"Um, she didn't even tell me. She just said to make sure everyone knows."

"Ookkayy. See you then, EJ. Bye." She hung up the phone.

"What was that about?" Jamie wondered out loud.

"I don't know, some meeting." She shrugged as she yawned. "Guys you know I love you but-"
Jamie held up his hands "Say no more. You're kicking us out." He kidded.

"Hm, basically." She said as she ushered them to the door and waved good-bye.

The Next day- 8:15 AM

Jude groaned as she heard her buzzer go off her alarm. She stuck her arm out and swatted it off. She gave a glance at the clock, and slowly rolled out of bed. When Jamie and Kat left yesterday she was all ready to take a nap, but then Sadie came home and wanted to talk. So she gave her the run through, and just when she thought she was off the hook Sadie felt Jude needed a shopping spree.

"Sadie felt Sadie needed a shopping spree." She grumbled as she walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Then when she got home around 4, Chris called her excited about getting the major role in some prestigious director's new movie and he wanted to celebrated the night away. Dinner, clubs, press. Let's just say she didn't end up in bed until 3. She squirted the green toothpaste and began to brush as she walked into her room to figure out what to wear. She was way too exhausted to put any effort into an outfit, so she picked up a a pair ripped jeans off the floor with her free hand. She walked to her closet and pulled out a green tank. She ran back to the bathroom clothes in hand, spit and rinsed, and closed the door as she got changed. 'Some times being a rock star is too exciting.' She thought with a smile.

Jude propped her head up with her hand as her eyes slowly closed.

"Rough night, girl?" Tommy asked, grinning as he walked into the empty conference room with two things of coffee in his hand.

Jude sprang up and shook the sleep off. She got there pretty early, so she had been the first one in the room. She figured it be harmless to catch a little shut eye before everyone got there. "Something like that." She muttered as she took a sip of the coffee Tommy held out for her.

Tommy couldn't help but be happy. His plan was fool proof. There was no way Georgia wouldn't love it, and it ensured that Tommy spent as much time with Jude as possible. Tommy took a seat directly across from Jude as Georgia, EJ and few others filed in. Kwest came in last and sat next to Thomas. Georgia took the seat in the front of the room. She shot a quizzical look at Jude's state, but Jude just grumbled back.

"Okay, I called this meeting because," She began not knowing why, but then remembered. "hm, because Tommy asked." She motioned to Tommy to start talking.

"Well, as we all know Jude's album just began production with me as the producer. I think that it's important to generate a lot of interest in her junior album before hand." Tommy stated logically.

"Since when have you become PR?" Jude wondered, suddenly becoming a little more awake.

"Ahem," He cleared his throat at the interruption. "As I was saying, we need a publicity stunt. You know to get the buzz going on her album. And I have just the thing. A Duet." He offered.

Jude perked up at this idea. "Oh, a duet? I haven't done one since Shay. That be great!" She said excitedly.

"I was hoping you'd say that Jude. I figured we'd get somebody good, you know? Somebody a lot of people would love to see you sing with." He winked at Kwest.

"Oh, yeah! I like that, but who do you have in mind, Quincy?" She glanced at him quizzical.

Tommy's face broke out into a huge grin. "You're looking at him."
