-Chapter 7
Unintentional Encounter Part 2
Tommy was looking through the refrigerator. "I thought we had some water in here. Where'd it go?" Just then he felt someone staring at him. He slowly stood up, hoping that it was Jude. She did come home last night after all. He slowly turned around and scanned the room. His eyes almost instantly locked with Jude's.
"Jude…" was all I could get out before she turned and began to halfway run towards the studio. She looked just as beautiful as the day she left. Tommy started to make his way towards the studio. "Jude, wait." Jude stopped in her tracks and turned around. "Tommy just leave me alone. I can't deal with you. Oh yea, and by the way, Kwest is my new producer for now. Until I can deal with you." Jude said. "Wait, what? I'm not producing you? What am I supposed to do then? Who am I supposed to produce?" Tommy said with hurt in his eyes. "I don't know, go talk to Darius. I'm sure he will know what to do." And with that Jude turned away and went into the studio.
Tommy all but ran over to Darius' office and threw the doors open as he made his way in. "How could you just switch my artists without even consulting me first! Huh? You know Jude and I make the best music together!" "Tom, calm down. She asked to switch. I didn't decide that for her. What was I going to tell her? "No Jude, I can't switch producers for you, you're just going to have to stay recording with the man that cheated on you and broke your heart." That wouldn't have gone over too well, ya think? Just give her time, she'll come around. I know she will, she loves you, but what you did was almost unforgivable. Just give her time." Tommy just looked at Darius with a shocked look. " I know Darius, I know. I just missed her so much, and a part of me just wished that she would come back and run into my arms. It just hurts to see her and know that she won't come near me." Darius looked at Tommy and his expression softened. Something That rarely happened. "I know Tom. Only time will tell though. So for now you will be working with Karma and Mason. You don't look like you're up for it today, so go home." "Thanks Darius." Tommy got up and walked out the door.
While Tommy was in talking with Darius, Jude was in the studio. "Okay Kwest, I have some songs to record, so lets get to it." Jude said as she walked into the soundproof booth, sat down on the stool, and pulled the mic down to the right position. "In five, four came Kwests voice through the speakers" Kwest then counted from three down to one on his fingers and Jude began to sing.
(How Long by Hinder)
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away
I try to remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see her with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold her
How long till this goes away
I can't seem to get my heart over you
Cause you creep into everything I do
And now I'm dying to know
How she touches you
I can't see her with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold her
How long till this goes away
How long till this goes away
He said she wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said
She said
He said he's sorry
With one finger
I said fk that
I can tell you're lying when your lips move
Cause of one lie it's not me it's you
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see her with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold her
How long till this goes away
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold her
How long till this goes away
How long till this goes away
He said he wants to be friends
I took a big step back
He said
He said
He said he's sorry
With one finger
With one finger
I said fk that!'
When Jude finished the song, Kwest just stared at her in disbelief. "Wow, he hurt you real bad huh Jude?" "Yea," Jude said "But writing does help a lot." "Good, but if you ever need to talk, Im here." Kwest said. "Thanks Kwest." " Well there's some fine tuning that needs to be done, but we can do that tomorrow. You can go ahead and head home." "Thanks Kwest. I'll see you tomorrow." She headed out the door and bumped into Tommy. "Ouch!" They both said at the same time. "Jude! Im sorry, are you okay?" "Yea I'm fine, Tommy. Bye"Jde said with a harsh tone. "Wait, can I at least walk you to your car? I just want to talk to you." "Yeah, okay come on." They both headed out the doors and to their cars. "So," Tommy said. "Did you get my CD and my letter?" "Yea I did" "Well?" Tommy asked. "Well what Tommy? Did you expect me to listen to your music, read your letter, and come running back into your arms?" "No, but -" "Tommy I can't do this right now. Its too much to fast. Bye." With that Jude made the last few steps to her car and got in and drove off, leaving a very hurt Tommy in her dust. Tommy headed for his Viper. Once he got in he just sat there thinking. "How am I going to get her to talk to me? I don't know how long I can go with her ignoring me." Tommy turned on his car and headed home.
