AN: There is no author's note, so HA! Made you look! Just joking, I'm in a really weird mood right now, so don't mind me. This chapter's going to be a little weird too, but I hope you like it anyway! And I'm going to pull some themes from last season's episodes, so I hope it sounds OK. I have the next few chapters written, and it's got a lot of humor in them. I can't give it to you all at once, so it'll give you something to wait for.
Disclaimer: I don't own Instant Star or any of the characters on it. If I did, Tommy and Jude would be together already. But I do own the song Into You, even though it doesn't always rhyme and it's cheesy. But hopefully most of you skip over the songs in fanfics anyway, so I won't have to worry now, will I?
Note: This chapter will be in Jude's perspective, but I'll probably switch it up to make it interesting. And Chapter 3 will be really short, but it'll set up the drama in Chapter 4.
Chapter 2: Settling In
Sometimes I try and forget
All the things you said to me
'Cuz they mean nothing
Nothing at all. You see…
They just drift away
Like the clouds in the sky
Or the leaves in the wind
And they leave nothing behind
I'm sitting here, all alone again
Waiting for you to say you're wrong
But I know that you won't
So I'm writing this song
To say how I feel
To get it all out there
Before I lose myself
And I turn into you
I'm sitting here, all alone again
Waiting for you to say you're wrong
But I know that you won't
So I'm writing this song
To say how I feel
To get it all out there
Before I lose myself
And I turn into you
I frowned in concentration as I looked over the words I'd written. I decided to dedicate this to all the men who'd hurt me in the past. First Shay, then Tommy, and my dad.
Just then, I heard Sadie and the guys come back.
"If you guys hadn't taken so long in choosing the toppings in the first place, then wrestling in front of OTHER PEOPLE while waiting for the pizzas, we wouldn't have been thrown out like that!" Sadie snapped at Speed, who looked just as upset as she sounded.
"We wouldn't have taken so long if you weren't so picky," Speed shot back. Putting on a high falsetto voice, he squeaked, "Excuse me, but I don't like spicy green peppers, they give me heartburn. And onions, you ask? Those make me break out in hives. Anchovies? Eww, no way! They're so gross! Way tooslimy and disgusting, if you ask me. Come to think of it, I don't want anything on there at all. Ham and bacon come from pigs, sausage comes from cows, and pineapples shouldn't be on pizza at all, they're a fruit. So I'll just stick with the crust. No cheese either, it'd make my thighs look huge…" He trailed off and grinned as Sadie glared at him while the guys laughed hysterically.
Sadie motioned for Kwest to say something, and he quickly wiped off the smile on his face before she could notice him.
"Hey, guys, enough, alright? My house, my rules." Kwest smiled, knowing they couldn't argue with him. They stopped and mumbled under their breaths, just loud enough for Kwest to hear. "You want to stay here, be nice to Sadie. Otherwise, I'll gladly toss you out on your asses. Got a problem with that?"
"Hey, what about me?" Tommy whined.
Kwest looked over and smiled at his best friend. "You never had a problem defending yourself before."
"Uh, Sir Kwest dude? Can we eat now? I'm starving?" Speed said, just as his stomach growled loudly.
"Yeah, let's all eat," Kwest said, motioning for everyone to follow him into the dining room. On the way, he whispered to Speed, "Don't ever call me that again, OK?"
Speed started laughing, then abruptly stopped when Kwest glared at him.
AN: So, should I continue?
