Chapter 12 - Mondays events
Jude's Pov -
Monday came quickly..well considering my party was on Friday and I came home on Saturday. Kwest took the news okay. It was hard for me to tell him though..I mean, Kwest has been there when I needed a friend. He was there when I needed to talk. And he actually understands me and my point on things. He's back to being the mixer..that's not so bad, right? But I did get a huge lecture from him. Can you guess what it was about? I'll give you a hint..It's one word. Starts with a T and ends with a Y..Ha! You guessed it! Tommy.
"Kwest..I'm not a kid anymore, okay? I can handle it." I say, trying to convince him.
"Oh yeah..like you handled it when he came back in the first place." He bites. Jeez..easy.
"That was different. Everyone deserves a fair chance..and..I'm giving him his." I shrug. Kwest shakes his head.
"Jude..you can't keep doing this to yourself. Everytime you fall you fall deeper. One of these times you are going to fall too deep and who knows whats going to happen?" He says. Uh..what does he mean by that?
I sigh.
"I'll be okay, alright?" I say, smiling assuringly. Once again he shakes his head and is about to say something until the door opens and Tommy walks in.
"Hey guys...sorry I'm late." He says, closing the door behind him.
"Destany keep you away?" I taunt. He glares at me and then takes his seat beside Kwest who went silent when Tommy walked in. Not a good sign.
"So.." Tommy finally sats after a few minutes of disturbing silence.
"So.." I mimick.
"Got any new songs?" Tommy asks.
"Hideaway..that's it." I say, biting my lip.
"Oh. Well, is it done?" He asks.'
"Yeah."
"Have you recorded it yet?" He continues. God..a year away and he comes back and acts like he never left. I'm trying to decide whether or not thats a good or bad thing.
"No..we thought we'd wait for you." I say.
"Well, lets record the acoustic first." He says, handing me my guitar.
"Okay..I'm going to warm up." I say, strumming the chords needed in the song. He nods and jumps slightly before reaching his hand into his pant pocket.
"Yeah?" He answered.
"No...I don't care, I don't bowl...Well tell her to take up another hobby..fine put her on...babe, come on out of all the things to do in this town you have to choose bowling?..fine." He slammed the phone shut and took a deep breath before looking up and focing a fake and sarcastic smile.
"What was that about, T?" Kwest asked, very much amused.
"Destany wants to go bowling." Tommy says. I'm trying to keep myself from bursting out laughing at the expression on his face. It's priceless.
"Not much of a bowler, Quincy?" I ask, smirking. He winces and narrows his eyes.
"Just haven't been in a while." He says. Clearly a lie.
"Whatever you say twinkle toes." I say, finally letting a chuckle escape. Once again he narrows his eyes and sits there in bewilderment. Kwest is trying not to crack up.
"What do you mean 'Twinkle toes'?" Tommy asks. Oh my god..you can't be serious.
"Haven't you ever seen the Flinstones?" I ask, shocked. He raises an eyebrow at me like I'm crazy.
"Tommy are you serious?" I ask, shocked.
He rolls his eyes out of frustration and points to the sound booth.
"Just go record." He says. I smile and start to get up but then my phone rings. I look at the number and I've never seen it before.
"Hello?" I ask.
A familiar voice comes through the phone and I immediately smile.
"Oh..hey Jason." I say. I watch Tommy fidget in his chair and I could tell he didn't like me talking to his brother..all the more reason to do it.
"Bowling? sure..That sounds fun." I say..clearly trying to irritate Mr. Quincy.
"Alright..I'll see you then." I say, hanging up the phone.
"Guess we're all going bowling..You are coming, right Kwest?" I cheerfully ask.
"Wouldn't miss it." He says, smiling.
I walk into the soundbooth and I watch Tommy's annoyed expression through the glass as I'm singing the song. I'm loving every minute of it. The only reason he doesn't want me to go is because his brother is going.
After I finish I call Sadie and tell her about tonight and she is immediately all for it.
"See you guys later." I say, waving bye to Tommy and Kwest.
"Later." Kwest says.
-Later that night- No one's Pov -
The gang all walked into the bowling aly. Destany was clinging to Tommy, Kwest was close to Sadie and Jason stood by Jude.
"Sadie, can I talk to you for a second?" Jude says, pulling Sadie to the side.
"What? What is it?" Sadie asks, clearly irritated.
"Um..I'm going to look like an idiot. I've never bowled before." Jude says, lightly. Sadie rolls her eyes and tils her head to the side.
"If you're so worried about it then why'd you come?" Sadie asks.
"I don't know. It sounded fun." Jude says.
"Well-"
"Hey come on you guys, we need your shoe sizes." Kwest shouts. Jude bites her lip and follows Sadie back to the group. After everyone collected their shoes and paid, which it was only thirty dollars because of the deal on monday nights, they walked over to their bowling lane.
Tommy seemed grumpy the whole time as everyone put on their shoes. He didn't have the nicest expression on his face and he looked like he was about to pull his shoelaces out and strangle someone with them..especially after Jason walked over and sat next to Jude.
"Hey." Jason said. It was the first thing he had said to her since they got there.
"Hey." Jude replys, smiling widely.
"You want to help me put the names in the machine?" He asks. Jude smiled.
"I don't think it takes two people to punch in some letters." Tommy interrupted. Jude looked at him with disbelief and then looked back at Jason.
"Sure." She says.
Tommy nearly burnt a hole through his brother's skull right then. Destany finished tying her shoes and put her arm around Tommy's neck.
"Loosen up, baby." She said, kissing his cheek. He smiled fakely at her and let a huge breath out.
--
"You want to go first?" Jason asked, pushing the start button. Jude bit her lip and started to laugh nervously.
"Well you see..I kind of don't know what I'm doing?" She said, smiling innocently. Jason smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"So that's a yes." He said, pushing in the letters to her name. She stood there silently trying to figure out what he meant by that. After everyone's names were in there the game officially started.
Jude went to pick up a sixteen ball but Jason came up behind her and guided her hand towards the ten.
"You might want to try that one." He whispered against her ear which sent chills up and down her spine.
"Okay." She says, smiling and picking up the ball.
"Now..you see..this is what you do." Jason said, pulling his body against hers. His chest rested gently on her back and his hand rested on hers. Jude closed her eyes trying to push away the feelings she was having. He slowly pushed against her which caused her to walk forward and when they reached the line he bent forward. which caused her to do the same.
"Don't be so tense." He said when he had her in the postion needed. She took a deep breath and nodded.
He pulled her arm back straight and told her to go ahead. She did as instructed and waited impatiently as the ball strolled down the middle of the lane.
"Oh my god." Jude said, covering her mouth with her hands and watching as the ball knocked over each and every pin.
"Oh my god!" Jude squealed, turning around and embracing Jason tightly.
"Good job, girl." Jason said softly against her hair.
--
Tommy watched and kept clenching and unclenching his fist as his brother made his moves on his girl.
"I'll be right back..I'm going to go find the ladies room." Destany said before kissing Tommy's cheek and heading off into the crowd of teenagers that were hanging out for the night.
Kwest took the time to taunt Tommy a little.
"They look pretty snug, T." Kwest said, indicating Jude and Jason. Tommy finally looked away from Jude and his brother and glanced at Kwest.
"No big deal." Tommy lied.
Around this time Jude and Jason finally stopped hugging and were on their way back up to the table.
"Did you see that? I got a strike!" Jude squealed. Jason smiled at Tommy and watched Tommy form a fake smile.
"Yeah, you did great." Tommy spoke lightly.
"It's your turn.. twinkle toes." Kwest smirked, looking up at the score board. Tommy winced at the name and narrowed his eyes before getting up and grabbing a ball. He took a deep breath before letting it go and it rolled down the middle as well, knocking down all the pins.
"Wow..Tommy, you did great. Why don't you like bowling?" Jude asked as Tommy walked back up to the table.
"Long story." He said, before sitting down and watching Kwest go down to take his own turn.
This was going to be a long night..Well, Tommy thought so anyway.
A/N - Eh? What did yall think?
