Chapter 10 - Teach me
When I left Tommy in there.. I think we reached an understanding. Though nothing was really said..I think we now understand eachother in a deeper meaning. I don't know..maybe it's just me.
"Jude? You okay?" Kat asked, looking up at me with concern. I wipe my eyes and nod.
"Yeah, I think everythings going to be okay from now on." I say, smiling. Mason was standing next to Kat going on and on about how outspoken and pig-headed Jason was. Haha I can't believe he's still talking about that.
"I'll be right back," I say, walking towards Jason, who was sitting with Barbie at a nearby table.
"Hey Bar-" I clear my throat, "Destany, can I borrow him for a second?" I ask, pulling Jason by his shoulder. Yeah I know..I barely know this boy, but he's related to Tommy. Meaning..we'll probably get along in the end. And if not..oh well. Barbie shrugs and I pull Jason over to the corner of the studio.
"What are you doing?" He says, jerking his arm away from me.
"You and I are going to write a song." I say simply, shrugging.
"Excuse me?" He says, amused.
"You heard me." I say, now pulling him into Darius' office where I find a few blank sheets of paper and a pen. By now the lightning had actually knocked the lights out and everyone was holding candles. Everyone except me..thank god Jason had one.
"You're serious?" He asks, once again jerking his arm away. I nod and hold the papers out in his direction.
"If you have room to criticise.." I say, smiling.
He snorts and shakes his head.
"I don't have time for this.." He says, starting towards the door.
"Don't have time? You'll have plenty of time on your hands over the next twenty four hours..according to the news reporters. But if your scared that you won't be able to do any better than a 'Popstar wannabe'..I'll understad." I say, smirking. He stopped dead in his tracks and I could swear that I hear him grinding his teeth. He turned around to face me with an amused look on his face.
"Scared? Alright..you're on." He says, snatching a paper out of my hand and sliding down the wall to the floor. I smile and sit down next to him. I can tell he's nervous..it's kind of cute.
"Why were you crying anyway?" He asks after a few minutes of silence. He hadn't written anything on the paper yet..but I could tell he was thinking. I wipe my eyes self conciously and let out a breath.
"What? I wasn't crying." I say, trying to sound convincing. And theres that look again. The one that makes me feel stupid. Stupid Quincies..
"Oh, no?" He asks, lifting his hand slowly. Uh..what is he doing?
His hand brushes my cheek lightly and I tremble at his touch. So light..so gentle..so like Tommy's.
He pulls his hand away to reveal a single drop of wetness on his finger. I bite my lip and look up at him.
"Okay..you weren't crying." He says, wiping the tear off of his finger and going back to his writing- this time he actually scribbled some words down.
"So..you're Jason, right?" I ask, timidly. He nods and continues writing. Not much of a talker, eh? I can change that..
"You weren't in a boy band too, were you?" I ask. Okay okay so now I am trying to get on his nerves. I know..I'm being bad. But it's just too fun. He looks up at me and nearly chokes on his own air.
"You're kidding, right?" He asks, giving me the look. I shrug and shake my head.
"No. I wasn't in a boy band. Leave it to Tom to give our family a bad name." He said with disgust. Tommy give their family a bad name? Just because he followed his dream?
"I wouldn't say that." I say, defending Tommy. Why? Eh..you know I still care.
"Oh you wouldn't, huh?" He asks, setting the paper aside.
"No..I wouldn't. Tommy made it big. He did what he loved and look where he is now..I respect him for that." I say. Where is all this coming from?
"Oh yeah..he made it big alright by shaking his ass in front of a camera. You want to call that proud? I'd hoped you had more sense than that." He said.
"People make mistakes, not that I'm saying what he did was a mistake. Though he does regret it..he shouldn't. Alot of people liked their group, even though I'm not one of them." I say.
Jason shakes his head.
"You're one of a kind Miss Jude Harrison. I just met you and I already can't stand you." He says, grinning. Yes..grinning, not smirking. I smile sweetly.
"Well, then I think I've reached my goal." I say. He just stares at me for a few minutes after that in bewilderment. I love it..
Okay so now he's back to writing. Now I get to examine him. Can you say gorgeous? He has the same ocean blue piercing eyes and the same knock the wind out of you grin. The only thing different about the two is that Tommy had the aged look. Jason still looked like a teenager. Hey, not saying Tommy looks old..just Jason looks more young. Crap..he caught me staring.
"Something interesting you're looking at?" He asks, amusement written all over his face.
"Sorry..you just look alot like Tommy." I say, half-smiling. He rolls his eyes.
"God..Don't say that." He says. I laugh.
"Okay, sorry." I say.
Then we are back to silence until he finally finishes his writing.
"There." He says, handing the paper to me. I read over the words that are written before me. They shock the hell out of me. What the heck?
"Wow.." I breathe out. He smirks.
"Better than you thought, huh?" He asks with a coy smile. I glare at him but I can't deny. I didn't think he was going to be able to write something that good. This might be the most emotional peice of writing I've ever read..
"What do you do anyway?" I ask, reading over the words again.
"I'm a song writer, didn't you know?" He asks. I look up at him totally shocked and he starts laughing.
"Nah, I own a tattoo parlor back home." He says.
"Ah, so you are creative in more than one way?" I say, smiling.
"Oh I'm creative in tons of ways, Jude." He says, smirking. Whoa..is he hitting on me? Okay well..if he is..I don't know.
"So, am I done here?" He asks. Ugh..yeah and he has total bragging rights now. His writing is awesome and I can't even compare.
"Yep..sorry I doubted you." I say, sincerely. He just shakes his head and shrugs. After getting up and swiftly walking towards the door he turns around and gives me a short stare.
"And Jude.." He says, catching my attention.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Your songs aren't that bad. Just come and find me if you want some schoolin'" He says and then walks out into the darkness.
Ugh..that kid made no sense. He could be so nice and then again turn around and be the biggest jerk. I just met him and I feel like I know him.. He left the candle in here with me. I quickly decide to get out of Darius' office because small dark places are not exactly where I prefer to be..
No one's Pov -
Tommy watched Jason exit the studio and the candle illuminated the slight smile on his face. Tommy immediately felt a jolt of uneasiness when he saw Jude exit the room a few minutes after his brother. Why were they in there alone? There was no need for that.
Tommy excused himself from Destany and then caught up with Jason who was retreating to the lobby's kitchen.
"Hey." Tommy greeted, walking up beside Jason. Jason looked up at Tommy with amusement showing through his eyes.
"Hey." He mimicked.
"Where have you been?" Tommy asked, acting as if he didn't see them walk out of the room. Jason smiled down at the counter and Tommy felt even more uneasy.
"Places." Jason said.
"Don't play stupid Jason. Where have you been?" Tommy growled. Jason looked up and the amusement that was in his eyes before was gone and now they were clouded with anger.
"Oh you mean for the past hour or so? I was just in D's office with everyone's favorite Instant Star." He shrugs, "Who knew the girl put out on the first date?" Jason probed. Tommy's eyes nearly buldged out of his eye sockets.
"Look, you don't touch her, understand?" Tommy said, grabbing Jason by the front of his T-shirt. Jason pushed Tommy away as if it were nothing and waved his comment off.
"What's it to you anyway? Did you screw her or something?" Jason asked. Tommy rolled his eyes.
"You did, didn't you? Huh, I never thought you went for jailbait." Jason almost laughed which caused Tommy's anger to soar.
"Look man just stay away from her. She's been through alot and she doesn't need you to top it off." Tommy says, clenching his fists. Jason smiles and shrugs.
"Guess that'll be for her to decide, huh Q?" Jason says, walking past Tommy and leaving him in the kitchen by himself. Tommy slammed his fist on the counter and brought his hands to his forehead as he leaned against the counter top.
