Here is Chapter 4. I do not own Instant Star. I also don't own the part that I used from Sex And The City. On that note, please don't forget to post your review. Thanks.
Chapter 4:
Tommy managed to go unnoticed. Jude has made her way into the lobby of the hotel without ever seeing Tommy.
Once in his apartment, Tommy began going over his whole day. What had caused him to walk by Essex House Hotel? "Saying it was fate would be too cheesy. And Tom Quincy is far too cool to be cheesy." He thought to himself. But whatever it was that caused him to walk by that particular hotel on that particular day brought nothing but Jude into his mind.
Without even thinking about what he was doing he picked up his cell phone and dialed all too familiar number. He didn't know whether she still kept the same number but hell it was worth the try. After four long rings her voicemail came on. As the message played, his mind contemplated whether to leave one or not.
"Hey Jude, it's…it's Tommy. I know I must probably be the last person you would've expected to call you right now, but I know you're in New York and well so am I. I know I probably shouldn't expect you to call me back but anyways my number is (212) 385-1122. Give me a call so we can maybe go for dinner or something. Bye."
After hearing the message that he had left on her phone she quickly pressed 7. Without giving the message another thought, she closed her phone and began to get ready to go out to dinner she had set up with Kat. After almost not speaking for two years, Jude thought it was time that they started to mend some fences. So once she landed in New York, Jude called up Kat and Kat agreed to meet her for dinner at Balthazar's.
She began making her way out of the lobby of the hotel when she noticed all too familiar face standing across from the hotel. When she came into his view, he quickly ran across the street to meet her face to face.
"Hey girl."
"Hey." It was all she could manage to get out.
"I called you the other day. Did you get my message?"
"Yea, I know. It's just I've been busy." Here we go again, she thought to herself.
"So I was thinking that maybe we could go for dinner, you know talk." He asked a little too afraid of what her answer might be.
"I don't think that is such a good idea. Sorry, I have to go. I'm already running late." She replied coldly as she began walking away.
"Jude, please come on can you let me explain." Tommy pleaded. At this point he was ready to get on his knees and beg for her forgiveness. It was at that moment that he truly realized how much this girl meant to him. How after so long of not seeing her, she still knew how to make his knees go weak.
She turned around. Facing him with anger shooting from her eyes she began yelling, not caring whether any of the passerby's heard her or not, as long as he got the message loud and clear: "You do this every time. Every time! What do you have some kind of a radar? Ooh, Jude might be happy, it's time to sweep in and shit all over it?"
"What? No, no, look. I came here to tell you something." He began replying. He couldn't help but to feel hurt and confused at the same time. "You and I…" He continued before being cut off.
"You and I nothing!" She yelled. At this point she began to get a little emotional. "You cannot do this to me again! You cannot jerk me around!"
"Jude, listen, it is different…"
"Oh, it's never different. It's three years of never being different! But this is it! I am done! Don't call me ever again. Forget you have my number! In fact, forget you know my name!" With that she turned around and began to run towards a taxi that was waiting for her.
Tommy just stood there. He felt like somebody had just punched him in the chest. He knew there was only one last resort left. He didn't want to turn to that resort. But then again, desperate times call for desperate measures.
