Chapter 8 - Hideaway
Tommy's Pov -
I can't help but feel guilty for everything I ever did to her. I don't blame her for hating me, all I've ever done was cause her pain and I know I can't take it back. I shouldn't have said what I said to her..she was Jealous. She probably was, but can I blame her? Now I am not trying to sound cocky. I led the girl on for so long..can I even call it leading her on? I did feel for her..I do feel for her. I can't feel for her.
"Looks like we're not going to be catching that late movie, huh?" Destany asks, looking up at me. God I feel like such an asshole.
"Sorry girl." I say, kissing her forehead.
"It's okay Tommy." She says. If she could only pry into my thoughts..the things she would hear..the things I've been keeping from her. Not saying I don't feel for her. I do, but nothing compared to what I feel..felt..feel.. for Jude.
"I love you." She says, snuggling into my shoulder. I wince at that word. That manipulative word that always gets to me.
"I..love you too," I say. She looks up at me and smiles. I'm such an asshole.
Jude's Pov -
After thanking everyone for their gifts and even coming tonight and apologizing for the weather, I excuse myself and walk into studio C where the lights were off. I didn't turn them on, instead I grabbed my guitar and sat down in a corner, strumming softly to myself. I don't need to see the guitar. I am just playing..the music is flowing out of me and I can't stop it. I don't want to stop it. This is my comfort zone.
"Hideaway...save me from the world
Come what may..I'll always be your girl..
Live this lie..I will not cry..
Oh, hideaway.."
Just then the door opened, revealing a little bit of light and I saw someone standing in the doorway..it was a girl..a tall skinny girl..oh god.
"Can I help you?" I ask, a bit harshly. Oh well.
"Jude? Is that you?" She closes the door behind her and comes over to me while bending down and trying to see my face.
"Yeah." I say.
"Oh, do you mind if we talk?" She asks, sitting next to me. Why did she even ask me? Shes already making herself comfortable.
"Okay..talk." I say, stroking the strings lightly and creating a soft faint melody.
"Look, I know how you feel about Tommy-"
"Can we please skip this? I don't need a pep talk from you." I bark. Some people just don't know when to stay back and leave something alone. She is obviously one of them. Oh, and if you haven't guessed already..yes, it is barbie..aka: Destany.
"Jude, I don't want us to be enemies, okay? I want us to be friends." She says, I could hear her smile. Does that even make sense? Can't she tell I'm not in the mood for this? I sigh and set my guitar next to me.
"Look Destany, we're fine, okay?" I say, trying my best to sound sincere. I really didn't have anything against her..
She stayed quiet a few minutes and I couldn't figure out why she was still sitting here. I mean come on..Tommy was out there waiting for her..why was she in here with me?
"He told me everything that happened between you two.." She says to me. And here comes the sympathy that I don't want.
"Yeah..well." I say, shrugging her statement off.
"I know it hurts." She says. Okay now shes really pushing it.
"But I promise, It'll heal and you'll be able to love again." She says, still smiling. What the hell? She is giving me a love lesson? I'm sure shes never had her heart broken. Look at her.. she looks like she just stepped out of a Victoria's secret magazine. She is beautiful.
"I really don't want to be hearing this right now." I say, trying to keep my cool.
"Really Jude, when you meet that someone-" Okay barbie..
"Look, I don't care, okay? I'm fine. It's over. I don't need to hear it from you. Besides, you have no room to tell me anything about love. I am not a kid that needs a lecture and if I did need a lecture it would not be from you. Why the hell are you with him anyway? I'm sure you don't even know that his real name isn't Quincy. Did you?" She doesn't say anything so I nod.
"Didn't think so." I say, getting up and walking toward the door. But I just couldn't leave it at that..she pushed me too far. So I turn around and continue my rant.
"Or how about..did you know he's french? Oh, and that he has a drinking problem? Is there anything you know about him besides he use to be in a boyband?" I ask. Once again she says nothing. I think I got to her..
"And you are telling me." I say, walking out of the room and slamming the door behind me.
And now I feel stupid..now she knows I still feel for her fiance. I didn't mean for any of that to come out..Whatever..she pushed me to the limit.
When I got out to the main lobby everyone was sitting around, some on couches and some on the floor. I immediately spotted Yvette and my dad together and Mom and Don together. Then I saw Tommy and Kwest together..weird. I then saw Jamie and the rest of my friends and headed in their direction.
No one's Pov -
"So how have you been?" Kwest asked Tommy. Tommy ran his hand through his hair and shrugged.
"Alright man, how about you?" Tommy asked.
"I've had my hands full with Jude's new album and all." Kwest says, giving Tommy the look..the one he was so famous for. The one telling him that he made the biggest mistake of his life.
"It sounds good." Tommy says, trying to get the conversation going in a different direction.
While this was going on..
-Jude and her friends-
"Speid, come on, we're eighteen..we're too old to play truth or dare." Jude says, shaking her head at Speid's comment and playful, childish weirdness.
"You can only be kids once..and who says it has to be the PG-Thirteen truth or dare? We're all mature adults here..so what do ya say?" He said with a devilish grin on his face.
"I don't know.." Sadie said, eyeing Jude carefully. The others just nodded, the others being Jamie, Kat, Mason, Jude, Patsy, Wally and Kyle.
"Good..let the games begin." Speid said, smirking.
Jude's Pov -
So I sat there completely nervous. I knew Speid and I knew he was sweet and all..but he was also capable of being completely evil.
Thank god all the adults gathered around on the other side of G-Major. They were probably talking about sleeping arrangements. Oh and yes, barbie made her way back to Tommy. He held his arm around her like a prize. Ptt, some prize. We were in the hallway where no one could see us. Only we could see the adults. No one seemed to miss us.
"Jude?" Patsy's deep voice brought me from my thoughts.
"Yea?" I ask.
"Are you going to answer or not?" She asks, giving me the weirdest look. Okay, I'm not stupid Patsy..stop looking at me like that.
"Truth." I say. Plain and simple..I don't trust her with dare. She rolls her eyes as if she knew I was going to say truth. And then a smirk appears on her face. Oh god..I don't like that.
"Are you a virgin, blondie?" She asks. I look around at all the wide eyes staring at me. Okay so obviously everyone wants to know the deal. Do they really think that low of me? I then look at Speid and he is smiling like he's never smiled before. And he said we were all mature adults. Real mature Speid..
"Jude, just answer the question." Sadie says, giving me a weird look. Not her too..
"Yes..I'm a virgin, okay?" I say, irritation clearly showing through my voice. A few people shrugged and I could see Sadie let out a huge sigh of relief. Since when did she start caring?
"My turn." I say, scoping out the group. My eyes land on a new person who approached us.
"Kwest." I say, smiling. He looks up at me and raises an eyebrow.
"Yeah?" He asks, sitting down next to Sadie.
"Truth or Dare?" I ask, watching a smile form on his face.
"Jude, I'm too old for those games," He says, pushing my question away.
And then to all of our surprise, Sadie hit his arm playfully and told him to be a good sport and join in. And an even bigger surprise..he listened.
"Alright, alright..Dare." He says as if he just answered the one million dollar question on Who wants to be a millionaire. I nod and bite my lip, trying to figure out something for him to do. Hmm..what could I make him do? Dance in front of everyone? Nah, that's not bad enough..give Tommy a lapdance? Haha! wow..nah I don't think barbie would appreciate that too much. Oh! I know!
"I dare you to... kiss Sadie," I say, smirking.
Sadie widened her eyes and took a quick glance at Kwest before looking back at me.
"Jude, come on.." Sadie says.
"What? It's just a kiss." Kat defends. Sadie glared at Kat and then looked back at Kwest who was looking at her. Sadie gave him an 'I'm sorry.' look and he just smiled.
"Thats my dare?" He asks, looking at me for a brief moment. I nod.
"Thats your dare." I say. And then he does it. And let me tell you..that was one heated kiss. It took a while before they even decided to break away. Once they broke away, everyone was staring at them. Sadie was blushing and Kwest was keeping his eyes on her.
"Wow..okay! I think It's Kwest's turn?" Speid said, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Oh, Um.." Kwest says, looking around at our group. He goes to say something but before he could get the words out a loud bang brought our attention to the lobby. I saw a boy about..maybe twenty one at the most walk in and stare over at the adults. I'm assuming he knows one of them?
"Oh my god.." I heard Kwest mutter. Kwest know him?
"Who is that?" I ask, confused. He turned to me and bit his lip before retorting..
"Tommy's younger brother."
