Chapter 8

In Which Darius Throws a Welcome Home Party for Jude

The next day, Jude enters the studio to see party decorations and banners going up everywhere. She walks into Darius' office and sees Darius talking to one someone who she assumed was one of the decorators. "What's going on Darius?" "Oh hey Jude - oops I mean hi Jude. Yesterday after you left I decided that I should throw you a welcome home party." "Uh, okay. Im guessing its tonight then?" "Yep 8 o'clock sharp. Don't be late." "Yea yea Darius. Have I ever been late to one of these? Are there any specific songs you'd like me to sing?" "Nope, sing what ever you like Jude. Its your party." "Alright." Jude walked out of Darius' office and into the studio to see Kwest working on her song from yesterday. "Hey Kwest." Kwest jumped up like someone lit a fire in his seat. "Geeze Jude, don't scare me like that!" "I couldn't help it." Jude said through her laughter. "Okay so tonight I have to sing a couple songs for this party Darius decided to throw for me. Im just going to be around. I need to figure out what songs I want to sing." "Alright Jude. If you need me, you know where I'll be at." "Where," said Jude "The kitchen?" "Ha ha very funny. I'll be here." Kwest said while pointing to his seat.

Jude walked out into the lobby and sat down. She pulled out her journal, and began to look through it. "I want to sing something no one has heard before. Something that will make Tommy sorry for cheating on me." Jude was so deep in her own thoughts, that she didn't see Tommy walk through the front doors, and into the studio.

Kwest and Tommy

"What's going on here, Kwest?" Tommy asked. "Darius decided that he wanted to throw a Welcome Home Party for Jude." "Oh," said Tommy. "I take it she's going to be singing tonight then?" "Yep, why?" asked Kwest. "Well I have been trying to figure out a way to tell and show Jude how sorry I am, and this party could be the answer to my problem." "What do you mean?" asked Kwest. "I have a song that I had written when Jude first left. I've never recorded it because I didn't think I could do it. But now's the time to sing it. Tonight at the party I'm going to surprise Jude by going up and singing this song in front of everybody." "Do you think that's a good idea Tommy?" "I'm not 100 sure, but what else do I have to lose, she hardly speaks to me as it is. And if it works, I will be the happiest man alive." "Okay Tommy. I wish you the best. Good luck." "I'm going to head home, I need to get my stuff together, and make some final touches on that song, so I will see you tonight." "Later man." Tommy walked out if the studio and headed for his car.

Back to Jude

Jude was still so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't see Tommy leave either. She had finally decided what songs she was going to sing, so she stood up and walked over to the studio, and this time made sure not to scare the daylights out of Kwest. "So Kwest I know what songs I'm going to be singing tonight. It's 6 o'clock now, so I need to head home and get ready. I don't think Darius would appreciate me coming to my own party looking like this." Jude said as she pointed to her old band shirt, and ripped jeans. "So I'll see you back here at 8." "Later Jude." Jude left the studio in search of her sister. She found Sadie at her desk looking bored. "Come on Sadie, we have to go! I need you to help me get ready for tonight!" Jude exclaimed "Okay, okay lets go." Sadie grabber her purse, and they both headed out the door.

That Night at The Party

Tommy had made it back to Gmajor before the party started. He had some things he had to set up for his surprise to Jude. Now it was 8, and he was sitting on the couch right next to the front doors watching the place fill with people. Tommy was getting nervous, not only was he going to pour his heart out and grovel for forgiveness from Jude, but he was going to be singing in front of all of these people. He hadn't performed in front of anyone since his Boyz Attack days.

Tommy was still sitting on the couch ten minutes later when Jude arrived. She looked gorgeous. She was wearing a turquoise knee length dress that fit her in all the right places. Kwest then walked up to Tommy. "Ya need a towel? I think you're drooling." "Very funny Kwest. She gorgeous."

Jude walked into Gmajor and instantly felt Tommy's eyes on her. She felt uncomfortable in the dress she was wearing, but Sadie said she looked great in it, so she wore it. "I may be uncomfortable, but I hope Tommy is squirming in his seat knowing that he can't touch me." Jude thought to herself.

The next thing everyone hears is Darius up on the stage. "Jude well all missed you, and we are glad you're back. It wasn't the same here when you were gone." Jude smiled and waved. "Now who wants Jude sing!!!" Everyone clapped as Jude made her way onto the stage. Earlier in the day, Jude decided that she was going to sing "How Long" and "You Won't Be Mine." Jude took the microphone from Darius and sat down on the stool that had been put on stage for her. "This song is one I wrote when I was gone. Its called "How Long." Jude then began to sing. By the end of her first song, Jude was pumped, but sad at the same time. She went straight into her next song. By the time she finished this song, she was almost in tears. Every one was cheering for her. "Thank You." She managed to say. "That song was called "You Won't Be Mine. I also wrote that one when I was away. Thank You again everyone." Jude got up off the stool and headed off stage. She was headed for the bathroom when she heard a familiar voice come through the speakers. "Umm, Hey everyone. I know you all weren't expecting this, but I have a song that I need to sing. This is for you Jude." Jude turned around and stared at Tommy. Then he began to sing.

(Sorry by BuckCherry)

Oh I had alot to say
Was thinking on your time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.

Jude heard this first few lines of Tommy's song, and started to make her way towards the stage.

I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I did to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds
And baby the way you make my world go 'round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

This time I think I'm to blame
It's harder to get through the days
We get older and blame turns to shame
'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me wanna die.

Jude was now, at the very front of the stage, and her and Tommy's eyes were locked.

Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried
It's never too late to make it right
Oh yeah sorry

Jude was now up on the stage. She didn't know what she was doing. "Am I going crazy?" She thought. "He cheated on me! I cant forgive him." But she found herself up there anyways. The crowd was going crazy, and , most of them were crying. "Jude," Tommy said into the microphone with a shaky voice. "I am so sorry for what I did to you. I know I ruined the great chemistry we had between each other, but I was hoping you could find it somewhere deep down inside your self to forgive me." Tommy was now visibly crying, and so was Jude. She didn't know what to say. "Well?" said Tommy with anxiety in his voice. " I couldn't stay away from you for too long Tommy. I forgive you. No we wont be where we were before, but I think if we both try very hard, we will make this work." Jude said between sobs. Tommy smiled a huge smile through his tears, and pulled Jude into a big hug. "Thank you so much Jude. You don't know how happy I am. I will never hurt you again I promise. I love you." "I love you to Tommy. Lets go. Somewhere. Anywhere, so we're alone."
