Chapter 2: Telling
"Dad, I think you can tell." Jude said, she knew she was pushing it but, she could care less.
"Jude, I just walked in on my daughter making out, with her producer who is six years older than her."
"You had no problem with us together before."
"That was before I walked in on you and Tommy, and before he publicly humiliated you on your birthday, and cheated on you." Tommy was about to open his mouth and say something but, Jude beat him to it.
Jude got up off the couch and walked over to her father. She didn't care that she was in her bra. "Dad number one, I am eighteen. Number two, He publicly humiliated me to save me from Hunter, and he didn't cheat on me, he was drunk and Sadie kissed him to see if she had feelings for him."
"Then why were you so mad at her?" He asked.
"You wanna know I stormed out of the room before I got a chance to explain."
"So you think everything's just going to be alright now?"
"Yeah, I do since we're leaving tomorrow."
"What are you talking about?" He asked Jude while she bent over and grabbed her shirt. She out it on before she began speaking again.
"Jude, let me tell him." Tommy said.
"I really don't wanna talk to you just yet."
"Well then to bad. I invited Jude to come with me backpacking through Asia. We leave tomorrow morning." Tommy said to him. Stuart's mouth dropped to the floor.
"Jude you have to be kidding, he has to be kidding?"
"Sorry dad, we are. I really need this because of everything that's happened with G-Major recently. I just need to get away, and do something fun for a change."
"Fine, I just came back to get something I left in my office." He said and we walked in the other room. Jude grabbed Tommy's shirt and walked back to sit by him on the couch.
"Okay, so I'm sorry." She said.
"No your fault, it was bound to happen sometime."
"I know."
"What are you going to do about Jamie?" Tommy asked her.
"I'm going to find him and tell him the truth. I wasn't planning on doing that."
"Why not?"
"Because Jamie would just get mad, and then everything would be messed up. Then I would get mad at you like always and probably screw things up."
"I guess you're right but, now you have to." He said. He kissed her forehead and put his shirt on, just before Stuart walked out of his office.
"All right, I'm leaving. Bye Jude, I'll see you when you come home." He said walking over to the couch and kissing his daughter on the forehead and he walked out the door.
"Bye dad." She said as he shut the door.
"So, that was really embarrassing." Tommy said.
"Yeah, it was. But, I have had worse." She said.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about Karma and the boob incident." He said. Jude flushed a little bit.
"Don't remind me." She said. The house phone rang and Jude went to answer it. She looked at the caller id and it was spied.
"Hello?" Jude said into the phone.
"Jude, is it true?"
"What?"
"You and Tommy together?" Spied asked.
"Yes, very true. I'm guess you talked to-" Jude was starting to say Jamie when Spied cut her off.
"Yeah I did. When did you decide?"
"Oh I don't know about four hours ago."
"Look I'm happy for you dude, to me you made the right choice."
"Why is that?"
"Because Tommy got you your music back, and Jamie didn't do anything to help but the concert and you could have done that without him." Spied said, and he was right she could have done it without him.
"You're right about that." She said. Tommy came up behind her and he tickled her sides. Jude started laughing. "Tommy stop it, please." She said.
"Nope not yet." Tommy said and forgetting that Spied was on the phone, Jude kissed him.
"DUDES NOT WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE!!!" Spied yelled.
"Sorry Spied." They both said in unison.
"Let me talk to Tommy right quick." Spied said and Jude handed the phone to Tommy.
"What's up Spied?" Tommy asked.
"Treat her right this time dude, I mean it. I have enough girl drama in my life, I don't need anymore."
"You have my promise, it won't happen again." He said. With Tommy's last remark spied hung up the phone.
"What did Spied want with you?" She asked.
"He wanted me to promise him I wouldn't hurt you again."
"Oh at least you were telling him the truth."
"You're right I was." Tommy said. He kissed Jude and he pulled away. "Go and find Jamie, and tell him what's going on." He said.
"I don't want to just yet."
"Do it sometime before we leave, and you need to pack. Oh yeah, have you seen the papers?"
"No why?"
"Put it this way, you're in for a shock, and it depends on how you look at it whether it's good or bad."
"What are you talking about?" Jude asked him. Tommy went over to the t.v. and turned it on to the news channel.
"And in other news tonight, New Instant Star Karma and boyfriend Vincent Spiederman, from Spiederman Mind Explosion are now married. They married yesterday at a little wedding chapel and the reverend was none other than legendary recording artist Pagan Smith. Stay tuned for more details.
"THEY GOT MARRIED!" Jude yelled.
"Yeah but, let me tell you what was supposed to happen. Pagan agreed to do it as a publicity stunt for Karma, and instead he turned the table on them and since he really is a minister, he married them. They didn't know until afterwards, and they're not getting an annulment."
"I figured." Jude said her face seemed to calm down a little after he explained.
"What are you talking about; when you say you figured they wouldn't get the marriage annulled?" He asked curiously.
"When Spied was ten his parents got a divorce and the custody battle was so bad that he moved in with his uncle and he made a vow that if and when he got married, it would be until death do us part." She said.
"I didn't know that, and I'm sure Pagan didn't before he turned the tables on them."
"He probably didn't." Jude said. "I think I am gonna go and find Jamie." She said.
"Fine then I'll pack your stuff." Tommy said. She looked at the clock and it was already six o'clock.
"No you won't. I'll do it when I get back." She said and she left.
She left the house and ran to the recording space. When she walked in Jamie was there with Pagan talking about the studio that they were opening later on. When Jude walked in Jamie gave her an evil look and he rolled his eyes. He pretended like she wasn't there and that wasn't going to work for long.
"Pagan, I liked the stunt you pulled on Karma." Jude said.
"Why thank you Jude. I figured it was time to teach her a lesson." Pagan said. Jamie jerked he head up and got into the conversation.
"By the way just to let you know, Spied doesn't believe in annulment or divorce."
"Hold on, he doesn't?" Pagan asked.
"Nope they are probably going to stay that way for a long, long time." Jude said.
"What's going on?" Jamie interjected into the conversation.
"Nothing, I need to talk to you now Andrews." Jamie got up and walked over to Jude. She went outside onto the small balcony.
"What is it Jude?"
"I want to explain something to you."
"What?"
"I'm choosing Tommy."
"I can see that."
"Let me explain, he got me out of my contract with G-Major, and he got all the rights to my music back too."
"He did that?"
"Yes, and we are leaving tomorrow on a flight to Thailand to backpack across Asia."
"Jude, are you sure about this. I mean after what he did to you at your party?"
"Yes, I am. I have my reasons and he explained everything to me."
"Jude he always has reasons, and excuses."
"Well Jamie he does and I believe him because let me put it to you this way, if he hadn't of done what he did at my party, I would probably be dead right now." She said, and she walked down the steps and back towards her house.
