Chapter 5
Broken
Tommy was still a mess. He just couldn't get over her. Anywhere and everything reminded him of Jude. A girl with blonde hair, another woman with blue eyes. They all reminded him of Jude. It was driving him crazy not knowing where she was, or when she was coming home.
Tommy drug himself into the studio once again. He'd only been here a few times since she left. I hurt to go there. He walks into studio and sees Kwest sitting at the soundboard doing his thing. Tommy sits down next to him, and Kwest removes his headphones. "Hey man, what's going on? And if you don't mind me saying, you look like crap." "Gee thanks man. That's great coming from my best friend. And I came here to record another song."
"Okay, you want me to stay, or should I go?" "Its alright man, you can stay." Tommy said as he got up and walked into the soundproof booth. "This song I call Broken" " Okay in five, four," then Kwest counted down from three on his fingers, then he pushed the record button.
Tommy had tears in his eyes by the time he was done. He hated crying in front of people, and he knew Kwest was trying not to look, but it just hurt too much. He missed her so bad, and he was sure he couldn't live much longer without her. Tommy wiped his eyes and headed back over to Kwest. "That was great. No need for another take. I don't think you could handle it." "Yea your right, I don't think I could handle it either."
Tommy walked out of the studio and out in to Hospitality to get a bottle of water. He sat down at the table, and began to write a note to Jude.
Tommy walked back into the studio with his letter to Jude in his hand and sat in his seat. Kwest turned in his chair and spoke to Tommy.
"I hate to see you upset Tommy. We have been friends for as long as I can remember, and I have never seen you upset over anything or anyone like this before. So I'm going tell you something, I know I shouldn't be telling you. I was talking with Sadie last night and she told me that Jude is finally coming home.As in tonight." Tommy snapped his hanging head up real fast at that statement. "You mean Jude's finally coming home? I'm going to be able to see her again?" "Yea, but if I were you, I'd steer clear of her once she comes back. Yea, you can be around the studio with her, but don't pressure her. Let her come to you to talk. I know you've been miserable, but you got to do it this way, or you may never get her back." Kwest stated. Tommy just looked at his best friend like he were insane. " Do you know how hard that is going to be for me? These past five and a half months all I have wanted to do was drop to my knees and grovel for her to forgiveness. I just want to hold her and be with her Kwest. But I know your right. I'm going try my hardest, but I'm going to let her hear my songs. Can you put them onto a CD and give them to her for me?, and can you put this letter in there with it?" "Yea, sure Tommy." With that Tommy stood up and walked to the door, but before he walked completely out he turned back to Kwest and said "Thanks man, I really needed to hear she was coming back. I won't tell anyone you told me. I don't want to mess things up between you and Sadie, you two are so happy together, and I'm happy for you." Kwest just looked over and smiled. "Thanks man, it means a lot."
Tommy left the studio and headed for his Viper. "Jude is coming home. She's finally coming home. I can't wait to see her."
