Chapter 4
It was now the second week of tour. The concerts had gone great, and Jude was happy they hadn't had to sing Anyone But You. That song was she and Speed's songs and brought back to many memories that caused her to feel horrible.
One night when the bus was on the way to the next town, Wally couldn't sleep. He could hear Jude out in her bunk singing. He went out to see her.
I
don't change my mind for anybody.
I won't waste my time on just
anybody.
I won't share my life...
With anyone but you
It's
such a long way...
With anyone but you
I couldn't
follow...
With anyone but you
Never anyone but you
"Lovely Harrison." Wally said as he stood in the doorway. "What is up with singing Anyone But You?"
"I don't know. I just felt like it." Jude replied looking away from Wally.
"Red, tell me the truth, do you have feelings for Speed?" Wally said as he sat down next to her.
"I don't know it is too complicated. Sometimes I just wish I could wrap my arms around him forever then a minute later, I want to strangle him." Jude explained.
"Red, I know Tommy hurt you, but it was nothing compared to what you did to Speed." Wally stated.
"Wally, I know." Jude said as she started to cry.
"You should seriously talk to him." Wally told her.
"I cant ok. What do I say?" Jude replied.
"I can't tell you what to say, but you should soon. Night Red." Wally said as he left the room.
The next morning Jude woke up early. She started to head out to the main room when she saw Speed standing in the kitchen fixing coffee. Seeing him standing there brought back memories. She loved the way he looked in just his ninja turtle pajamas with his messy ear length hair. He had a slight tan and Jude could only remember how it felt to lay on him. How his skin was so soft and warm. Jude wanted to walk out there and hug him, but she couldn't. She also remembered the first kiss between them, it was a dare, but she enjoyed it. She also remembered waking up after being drunk and finding Speed in her bed. She also remembered the speech he had given when she won her people choice award. She was saddened to think that those were all memories she threw away for Tommy.
"Don't drink all the coffee Speed." Jude said as she walked out finally.
"Like you need any." Speed smarted off.
"Whatever Vincent, just fix me a cup." Jude replied as she headed over.
Jude walked over to get the cup from Speed when she tripped over the rug she insisted they have. She fell right into Speed's arms. She just stayed there and looked up at him.
"Dude, you can get up now." Speed replied. Jude had just wanted him to hold her.
"Thanks." Jude replied quickly as she grabbed her cup and ran back to her room.
The next two weeks went by fast. Jude kept finding herself in awkward positions with Speed. The concerts went great as well.
The fifth week approached fast. Jude and Speed were still fighting. They constantly pulled pranks as well. Jude wanted to end the pranks, but she just couldn't get herself to admit she was wrong. One morning, she caught Speed on the side of the road holding an auction for her underwear. She was furious.
To get back, one morning she thought he was in the shower. She snuck in and took all the towels. Five minutes later, Speed walked through the bedroom door. He was fully dressed and his hair was dry. She then heard Kyle yell, "Who took the damn towels."
Another night, she decided to take Speed's deodorant. It was suppose to be in the high nineties that day and she knew no one would want to be around him if he stunk. That morning, when Speed walked out, he smelled nice. She thought that was funny, then Wally walked out in the main room, "Damn it Speed, give me my deodorant." Wally demanded.
"Dude, why would I take your deodorant on today of all days. I don't want to have to smell you." Speed replied as he looked at Jude.
"Sorry." Jude said as she handed it over.
That day after lunch they decided to swim before the concert. Jude wanted to tan, but Speed wouldn't let her. He quickly grabbed her and jumped in with her over his shoulder.
"You jackass." Jude spat as he came up.
"Hey, you need to have fun." Speed laughed.
Jude and the guys swam around for a while just goofing off. She was getting tired of Speed. He kept picking her up and throwing her or dunking her. The last time Jude got dunked, she was standing waiting for Wally to throw her the water ball. Speed came out of nowhere. When they went under, Jude quickly pressed her lips against Speed's. When they came up, he gave her a puzzled look and she left.
