"And I need to unwind, yes,
And I need to unwind, yes,
And I want all the time
to be loved, to unwind
Somebody comfort me
southern comfort me
somebody comfort me
southern comfort me"
Jude heard someone clap when she stopped singing so she looked and saw Speid standing in the hallway. "Hey Speid."
"Hey. When are we gonna hear that whole song?" Speid asked.
"When I play it on next time I go on TV."
Darius comes in at that pint and hears Jude saying that and says in response, "Which will be soon."
Jude's head whipped around to face Darius. "What?!?!"
"Under the Mic wants you on the show again. And your going. It's tonight in 4 hours so go get ready. See ya in a couple of hours." And he walked out.
Jude looked back at Speid who had a look on his face that said he had nothing to do with it and didn't know what was going on. "Well I guess I gotta go. And I guess you'll hear that song sooner then you thought. See ya." Jude walked back to the car and drove back to the hospital. When Jude got to Tommy's room, he was watching MTV. "Hey."
Tommy looked up and when he saw Jude he smiled. "Hey."
"How are you feeling?"
"A little better since you left a couple of hours ago."
"That's good. I swung by G-Major before I came here and found out I'm no Under the Mic tonight."
"Really? I guess I'll have to watch then."
"I guess you will since you can't come. Which, by the way, sucks ass."
"I'm sorry." But Tommy looked far from sympathetic.
"Well I gotta go get ready. Don't forget to watch."
"I won't, don't worry." Tommy smiled at Jude. She smiled back despite the fact that she had a feeling someone was watching her. "See ya." She said and left.
She started walking back to the car, but couldn't shake that feeling. Stop being paranoid Jude. She told herself. She got in her car and started to drive, when she saw someone pull out behind her. They seemed to be following her because every time she sped up, they sped up and every time she slowed down, they slowed down. She finally lost them just before she got to the TV station but still ran inside. "Hi." Jude told the Darius.
"Jude, make-up right now." He said and rushed away.
Jude went into make-up and costume and when she came out it was time to go on stage.
"And here she is, the 1st Instant Star winner, Jude Harrison!"
She walked across the stage and sat down. "Hey. This is a new song I wrote today. It's called Unwind." Just as she was about to start, she someone in the first row. Her hands froze on her guitar and her words stuck in her throat. She was scared. There in the front row was her stalker. Just breathe Jude. You can do this. She starts strumming the chords. Once she gets into it she starts picking up the beat and almost forgets about the guy in the front row.
"I hide my pain like the rest of them
That's why I'm always laughing
I'm troubled, I'm brilliant and miserable too
That's why I am so funny
I swallow down all my fears
With a bottle made of silver
I've only been here for 17 years
But already my life is over
And I need to unwind, yes
And I need to unwind, yes
And want all the time
To be loved, to unwind
My life is like a fairytale
That nobody believes in
I can't remember anything
Not the people, not the places I've been
Just one more day you can make it, babe
That's what I tell myself
And everything that I love in life
It is killing me, 'cause it's bad for my health
I need to unwind, yes
and I need to unwind, yes
and want all the time
To be loved, to unwind
Somebody comfort me
southern comfort me
somebody comfort me
southern comfort me
And I need to unwind, yes
and I need to unwind, yes
and want all the time
to be loved, to unwind
And I need to unwind, yes
and I need to unwind, yes
and want all the time
to be loved, to unwind
And I need to unwind, yes
and I need to unwind, yes
and want all the time
to be loved, to unwind
Somebody comfort me
southern comfort me
somebody comfort me
southern comfort me
Somebody comfort me
southern comfort me
somebody comfort me
southern comfort me"
When Jude strung the last note she felt more at ease then ever. She started at the guy with such hate in her eyes she almost couldn't believe it herself.
"And that was Jude Harrison everybody." Jude smiled and everyone clapped. She walked off stage but before she got to the dressing room, she was stopped.
"We need to talk." And next she knew she was being thrown into a car.
