Here it is Chapter 2! Short chapter…
My breathing started to become more normal as I became more conscious. I slowly opened my eyes and I thought I thought I was going to die…I'm not! Man, I'm lucky! My eyes opened all the way and I was still in the house, in the same place where I collapsed. I was in the living room where I collapsed. I stood up quite painfully and my vision almost normal. Walking to my room, my body felt like knives just went through me. It hurts that bad.
When Iwas outside my bedroom door, by now my body feels sort of better. Not great, better. I opened my door and rushed to my bed. I looked at my clock and it was 5 in the afternoon. Wait…what? I was knocked out for almost the whole day! I just dove on my little square bed and just…Yawn…go to sleep. I closed my eyes and I felt somewhat relaxed. Yup…Relaxed.
"Jude…Jude…wake up!" Someone yelled loudly. I opened my eyes slowly to see who was yelling like I was across the street or something. It was Sadie back home from work.
"What time is it? And why are you in my room?" I asked.
"Almost nine at night and your door was open the whole time." Sadie replied, "By the way, Ty wanted me to give you the tour schedule." Holding two pieces of paper, I'm guessing that would be the tour schedule. "I'll just put it on your table for now. You can sleep right now. Sorry if I bothered you."
"It's okay, Sadie." I said, "I just want to see the tour schedule." Sadie leaves my room and she put the papers on the table like she said. I stood up off of my bed and just rushed to see the tour schedule. I was somewhat bittersweet when I see the cities I will be touring:
Jude Harrison's "Not Standing Around" Tour dates:
June 9, 10, 12, 15, and 17: Montreal
June 19, 20, 21: Edmonton
June 22 and 23: Vancouver
June 25, 26, 27: Seattle, WA
June 29: Los Angeles, CA
July 1: San Diego, CA
July 10, 11, 12, and 14: Oakland, CA
July 16: San Francisco, CA
July 20, 21, 23, and 25: Sacramento, CA
July 28: Chicago, IL
July 29, 30: Detroit, MI
August 2, 5, and 9: New York, NY
August 11: East Rutherford, NJ (two shows on the same day AND your first arena gig! This will bring your rep up a little higher.)
August 14, 17, 19: Boston, MA
August 24, 26, 28: Miami, Tampa Bay, or Orlando, FL (your pick Jude)
I guess sometimes that touring can go a LONG way to becoming easier. Then the second piece of paper was a letter from Ty:
May 31, 2006
Jude,
Hey how's it going? Here's the tour dates for this season. I forgot to put the places in the cities where you'll be playing in. I'll give you the places tomorrow. If you have any questions concerning the tour dates and the tour itself, call me at: (230) 293-2123. May God bless you and your sister. See you tomorrow!
Tyson Robinson
P.S: the band you'll be jamming with in the tour is decided today. I'll tell you tomorrow and you'll be really excited about this.
Tyson
After reading the letter, I guess Tyson is sometimes forgetful about things...But he's so cool because I get to go to Jersey! Misfits here I come! Then my cell phone rang out of nowhere and I picked it up. Then a familiar voice made me regret touring this summer.
"Jude…what's up?"
"Spiederman? Hey what's up?"
"I heard you're touring this summer."
"I know…Want to come with me?"
"I can't…I just can't."
"Why not?' I asked.
"It's just…" He hung up on me. How rude of him! I placed my cell phone on my table and just diving in my bed, looking up into the ceiling. Smart…looking into the ceiling like a dimwit. Way to go, Jude! Way to go! Sometimes I just can't do things on my own since I became an artist. It's like Liam, this Tyson person, and Darius are like controlling my life. Or maybe not…I don't know…I don't know. My eyes feel so drowsy that I just sleep the rest of the night off. I feel that tomorrow will be a good day…I hope.
