"Shh, guys we're gonna get caught," Jude whispered.
"We're not gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught," Wally said.
"I'll say I'm drunk again and you guys put me up to this," Jude said.
"She's got us," Speed said.
"Okay well fine, let's just get in and get out," Jamie said.
"Do you have an empty roll?" Jude asked.
"Yeah. This one's one of the unopened ones from Patsy," Jamie said.
"Sweet. Okay, we're in. Your instruments should still be set up from – Hello!" Jude said. She ran right into Tommy.
"What are you guys doing here?" Tommy asked.
"Recording a song, without having to pay?" Speed said.
"Is this another hit making song? Are you drunk again Jude?" Tommy asked.
"It's something the whole band wrote and sings. And, I find it funny because a lot of it gets ad-libbed," Jude said.
"Yeah, half of the time, we end up saying something completely different," Kyle said.
"Thou shall not let the drummer sing," Tommy said.
"There are exceptions to these rules. So, are you gonna join this song recording process or are you gonna leave?" Jude asked.
"You know what? Surprise me. I'm gonna go sit in my car. If anyone comes, I'll call you," Tommy said.
"Sweet, you're awesome man," Speed said. They went into the empty studio that had all their equipment still set up from earlier.
"Okay, let's try a run through," Jude said.
After practicing a few times, Jamie loved what he heard.
"Okay, we're ready," Jude said. Kyle counted them off and Speed started playing his guitar. When they were done recording the music, Jamie played it for them while they sang their verses over it.
"Okay, Jamie, play it," Jude said. The four of them listened to the finished song and loved it.
"It probably won't get on my CD because of the fact that I don't sing the most. But I love it you guys!" Jude exclaimed, hugging her four best friends. Jude pulled out her phone and dialed Tommy's number.
"Tommy, we're done. I love it," Jude said.
"Great. I'll listen to it in the morning. Or tell Jamie to copy it onto some CDs. The blanks should be in there," Tommy said.
"Tommy said to copy it onto a few CDs," Jude said.
"He's way ahead of you, Red," Kyle said.
"Actually, I'm so far ahead, I'm done," Jamie said, presenting each of them with a CD.
"Jamie you're the best!" Jude exclaimed, looking at Speed. He smiled, because he knew that only he was the greatest. Tommy called her again.
"Jude, you're gonna have to leave, fast. There's some security guard headed into the building. He said he got a call about five suspicious kids that might be attempting to break in and he asked why I was just sitting there. I told him I had a rough night and I don't wanna talk about it. So clean up that space and get out, NOW," Tommy said. Jude relayed the conversation to her friends and they went as fast as they could to clean up the room.
"Crap, there he is," Jamie said when he saw a light shine into the studio.
"Not all of us are gonna make it out of here," Jude said, looking at the others.
"This is breaking and entering, any one of us could lose our jobs for this," Jamie said. They all looked at each other.
"We don't know that for sure," Speed said. Jude, Kyle, and Wally understood what he meant.
"Okay," Jude said.
"I've got a plan. If any of you get called, play sleep. Now go!" Speed said. Jude kissed him before running off. They managed to get past the guard and out of the building.
"Tommy, take us to my place, go, go, go!" Jude exclaimed when they jumped into his car. Thankfully he didn't have his convertible that night.
"Where's Speed?" Tommy asked.
"He stayed behind," Kyle said.
"Yeah, it was crazy. Jude even kissed him," Jamie said. The car suddenly got quiet.
"You meant to kiss him?" Jamie asked. Jude nodded.
"What the hell?" Jamie asked.
"Speed and Jude, are Speed and Jude," Kyle said.
"You guys fire me, and he steals my girlfriend?" Jamie asked.
"No, it's not like that. He waited until after you guys broke up to admit his feelings for her," Wally said.
"Wait, Speed liked me while we were on tour?" Jude asked, with a smile.
"Speed's liked you for about a year," Kyle said.
"Really?" Jude said with a smile.
"He's supposed to be my friend, how could he do this," Jamie said.
"Jude liked him too!" Wally said.
"What!" Jude and Jamie exclaimed.
"Well we always thought you did. That's why it surprised us when you he told us you and Jamie were together," Kyle said.
"I can't stomach this. Tommy, let me out here, I'll walk the rest of the way. I hope he gets caught," Jamie said, getting out when they reached a red light.
"Not the best way for him to find out you have moved on," Tommy said.
"We caught him and Patsy in a number of compromising situations. And they were so wrapped up in themselves that they didn't even notice," Jude said.
"That doesn't make it okay," Tommy said.
"I know, I'm just saying. I'll talk to him tomorrow. Right now, I need to get home and see if Speed's plan worked," Jude said. Tommy dropped the band off at their apartment and left.
"Don't worry your pretty little head. If it's one thing he's good at, it's getting out of sticky situations," Kyle said. Jude nodded and walked into the apartment. She went to the room, and lay down in bed, for another Speed-less night.
