A/N: Sorry for such a long wait guys. I promise I won't do it again. Anyway here's the next chapter. The next one should be up pretty soon too (hopefully sometime this week). Enjoy!
Jude and Tommy went back to the studio to record the new song that had just written not too long ago.
"About time you decided to come back," said Darius the moment they walked in. "A few more minutes later and you wouldn't have a job here anymore." Jude and Tommy trudged back to the studio to find everything as they had left it.
"Ready to record your newest hit?"
"You bet," she answered as she went into the recording booth. She sat at the piano and collected her thoughts for a moment.
"Ready when you are," Tommy said as he sat behind the control board. Jude closed her eyes and then started to sing.
Dark cloud moving in
Just one fall of rain could wash away
Wash away the pain
Just one ray of sun
To warm my skin
Rid me of the cold you're drowning in
I could say that I don't care
But the truth is…
Jude stopped singing and Tommy looked up.
"What's wrong?" he asked as she opened her eyes.
"The piano makes it too…mellowed out I guess you could say."
"Then what do you recommend we use instead?" Jude thought for a moment when she got the perfect idea.
"I've got it! What if we could use an organ instead?" Tommy thought about it for a moment.
"That sounds perfect!" he said as nodded his head. But how could we do that?"
"I know this perfect church down by my family's old ranch house. The have the most beautiful organ and everything. All we have to do is pitch the idea to Darius."
"Alright, but I'm not sure if he'll agree, he kind of wanted this whole song done today."
"I think that's a great idea," Darius said as Jude finished the song. "You were right Jude. The piano does make it too mellowed out. So you know where you can use an organ?"
"Yeah, it's been there forever."
"Great, then you guys can finish this tomorrow…and don't be late. I want you guys to drop by here first to make sure that you have everything you guys will need. See you then," he said as he walked out.
"So I guess I'll see you tomorrow then," said Tommy as Jude came back into the room.
"Guess so," she said as she gave him a peck on the lips and left.
-------------------------------------------
When Jude finally got home she went to her room and opened her laptop. She looked down at what she had written so far and smiled. She loved how it was coming out already and she really had just started it. Still smiling she began to type what had been on her mind all day:
Jude and Tommy got to the studio without anything suspicious happening at all. They went inside and Jude got out her notebook as soon as she sat down. Tommy sat behind the control board and stared at her while she had a thoughtful look on her face.
"Anything running through your mind?" he asked as she wrote something down and then scribbled it out.
"Kind of…there's just too much going through my mind right now for me to write something at least halfway decent at the moment."
"But I thought you wanted to come here because you already had a new song?" he said with a raised eyebrow. Jude squirmed a little in her seat.
"Yeah…but it's not quite done yet. So…"
"Jude," he said. She turned away from him. "Why don't you want to sing this song?"
"I would love to sing this song…but I told you it's not done yet." He walked over and stood next to her.
"What's the real reason?" She looked up at him.
"This song has a deep meaning to it. I…I wrote it for someone special." She looked into his eyes and he knew what she meant.
"Can you try and sing it?" She smiled.
"I know I can sing it…it's just, I'm not sure about…" Tommy leaned down and kissed her.
"You have to learn to not worry so much about what others might say." She smiled up at him and nodded.
"Okay, I'll do it," she said as she went into the recording booth. Tommy went and sat down behind the control board again.
"Ready when you are," he said as she sat down. She took a long, deep breath and then sang the song that was made just for him.
Hoooo…mmmm
I've seen you falling in and out of things
Your heart heats up
Your heart gets cold
Lights up and yearns again
What's your story?
I don't want a flash of glory
Then you crash
The what was that?
And why'd I fall so fast?
Slow down
We've got time
I need to know
That you're all mine
Have you got love to burn?
Kisses for days
Don't you want to grab on to something real,
And never let it get away
I don't have love to burn
Time to waste
Cause I've waited far too long for the spark to become a flame
And if it comes true
I'd only have love to burn for you
I can live without, I'm happy by myself
But you get to me
You make me feel like there is no one else
What you doing,
Leaving hearts in ruins
Can't you see?
For us to be that just won't fly with me
Slow down
Let's get it right
Make it last
Let's start tonight
Have you got love to burn?
Kisses for days
Don't you want to grab onto to something real,
And never let it get away
I don't have love to burn
Time to waste
Cause I've waited far too long for the spark to become a flame
And if it comes true
I'd only have love to burn for you
I see it's true
If I was sure you'd feel this way
For me, it's got to be much more than anything we say
For love to ever last
I need to know it's not just touch and go
That you are here to stay
Here to stay
That you are here to stay
Mmmm
Have you got love to burn?
Kisses for days
Tonight we won't let anything get in our way
Have you got love to burn?
Kisses for days
Don't you want to grab onto to something real,
And never let it get away
I don't have love to burn
Time to waste
Cause I've waited far too long for the spark to become a flame
And if it comes true
I'd only have love to burn for you
Ohhhh…ahhhh
Jude finished the song and looked up. Tommy was staring at her with love, but also concern. Jude stood up and went back out to him.
"You okay?" she asked softly.
"Jude, you're amazing…but…but maybe we shouldn't be doing this." Jude stood in shock.
"What?" she asked in bewilderment.
"There are things about me that you don't know. It would just get too complicated right now." Jude let out the breath she was holding.
"You tell me not to worry so much about what others might say, but it's not what they say that bothers me. It's what you say," she said as she walked off. He thought about going after her but shook his head on a second thought.
-------------------------------------------
Jude woke up the next morning and saw her laptop still open. She closed it with a smile. She was glad that that story wasn't real life at the moment. Things seemed better here in the real world. She lazily got dressed and went downstairs to find Tommy and Sadie sitting and talking on the couch. She stayed on the stairs and listened to what they were saying.
"So you really think you love her?" Sadie asked. "I mean completely, absolutely, no doubts?"
"Sadie, I already told you…of course I do."
"Wow. This is really going to break you know who's heart." Tommy nodded.
"But I can't help what I feel. I don't know. I'm just so confused right now." Sadie put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it. If it was meant to be then it'll work out. In the meantime don't stress yourself out. You have plenty of other things to focus on at the moment."
"Yeah like..."
"Good morning!" Jude said as she walked into the room.
"Oh, hey Jude," Tommy said in his normal voice.
"Ready for our little adventure today?"
"Yup," he said as he stood up as Sadie did the same.
"Don't worry," she whispered in his ear as she left the two alone.
"Let's get going then," said Tommy as Jude smiled at him curiously.
