CHapter 7: and the drama begins
(Jude sits in on the floor of the dressing in the bridal shop scribbling in her note book. From inside the dressing room you can hear the muffled voices of Jo and Sadie yelling)
HELP ME Dairy!!!!
I am in the middle of the biggest throwndown of the twentieth century. Bewteen who you ask? Only between the 2 most essential aspects of my wedding, my wedding planners aka my sister and Best friend: Sadie and JO. So much for going with out drama. And my wish almost came true too. Everything has been perfect and peaceful for the past 2 1/2 weeks. Of course it is now, 3days before the wedding, when most things need to finalized, that is the perfect moment for all hell to break loose. I'll fill you in on the all the fun we had right until everything went sour. Because to be honest, I really don't know when or how things got so heated and brutal!
hmmm.... so where exactly should I start Diary??? I guess the night of the party. So after the party we all went into the house and camped out in the living room. we had so much fun us girls. I guess this is what it would have felt like to have a slumber party if i had one when i was younger? we played, twister, truth or dare, and even MASH ( which was kinda funny since thats a game that you are able "predict your future" including marriage and kids and all). Then i talked about the tour and Sadie talked about G-mAjor and where she wanted to go with that. Then Jo asked
JO: so tommy took the whole im-not-going-to-able -to-sleep-with-my-fiance-after-world-tour-and- a-huge-dinner-celebrating-our-reunion-until-my-wedding well?
Jude Why yes he did. He knows how important my friends and family are to me. He's always known that. He knows me and that's why I'm, marrying the man.
Sadie Okay. the party's over. enough with the gushy stuff! this is our time. Not time for you to talk about tommy anymore! From now on all I want to hear about tommy is what size tux he needs. (Jude lifts up her hand in surrender)
Jude; Not to worry his name will not leave my lips when its just us from now on. That's the least i can do to thank you for that amazing party.
Sadie: Yes so back to the ceremony. so what do you think about colors??
Jo: What about pink and brown??
Sadie: what about earth tones? (jude yawns)
Jude You know what im getting tired. I trust you both. you decide. I think im gonna go to bed now. Im gonna have lunch with jaime tomorrow. just make sure if there is pink its not peptobismol. good night ladies!
Jo and Sadie: Night!
(The next morning Jude wakes up and walks down stairs. When she gets down stairs Sadie and JO are no where to be found. As she tuns back to walk up the stairs to call them she sees a note on the side table near the door. It reads: Dear Jude, Don't Panic! me and Jo are out running errands for the wedding. Don't worry about anything. go catch up with jamie, write, and take a walk and fondle your-soon to be husband while your at it. Love, your big sis Then her cell phone vibrates with a Text from Jaime. Lunch today? at the outdoor cafe. 12ish? after texting 'can't wait' to Jaime she closed her phone and sighed.)
Jude: My life has never been this perfect.
(Then she looked down at the time on her phone and saw that it was 11:30. Then she rushed up stairs, seemingly floating on air, to get ready.)
* * *
(It was now 12;00 and Jude was walking out the door. As she was walking to her car she saw Jaime walking to his. They both waved at the same time.)
Jaime: You wanna walk?
Jude: It's a beautiful day. And why not be able to say that I saved the environment by spending time with my best friend?
Jaime: oh how you make the menial things sound heroic. (As they were talking they were walking towards the side walk and now they were facing each other. They gave each other a warm embrace and then started walking towards the cafe.)
Jude: Oh my gosh Jaime. The tour was soo amazing. especially europe. you would have loved it. you are definitely coming on the next one with me. And that's an order!
Jaime So there's gonna be another?
Jude: Of course Jaime! Just because I'm getting married doesn't mean the music stops. you know me better than that Jaime. No man or situation will ever make me abandon my music. And even if i'm not righting for my self forever, I'd love to come work with you at NBR. If you'd have me. (Jude and Jaime arrive at the outdoor cafe and find a table. Jaime and Jude start with coffees)
Jaime: Of course Jude. Though you never accepted it, your position has always been here waiting for you and it always will. If it weren't for you allowing me to tag along on your shooting star I wouldn't be here my self.
Jude: You know you were more than tagging along Jaime. You were my support system when everything went array.
Jaime: And I guess part of my support system job I should be warning you about tommy and how he might hurt you and blah blah blah. (Jude has a confused face)
Jaime: But....Seeing him last night and the way he looked at you, hearing about how he went all the way to germany to see you and let you stay on tour on your own, and hearing you talk about him and your music and not letting him change you; now more than ever I'm okay with everything. I trust that if anything were to happen you would be able to handle it. with out me. And i Believe that nothing is going to happen because tommy, i can;t believe i'm saying this, is a good guy.
Jude: Oh Jaime I'll always need you!
Jude: That's a nice sentiment, but we both know you won't. But i'll always be here.
Jude: Hearing you say all this make me so happy but at the same time it's really starting to spook me out.
Jaime: translation harrison?
Jude: well everything has been almost too perfect. the past couple days have been both drama and stress free. I think it means something terrible is gonna happen. you know to balance out the cosmos and what not.
Jaime: Jude, did you ever think that maybe you deserve this? It not easy being in the public eye since age 15. being back stabbed by a best friend, held hostage in your own basement, a stormy love affair, 2 world tours and millions of fans. Not many can say that and have lived by the age of 23. Just enjoy it now and don't worry about the future.
Jude: See jaime, i still need you. If it weren't for you i wouldn't be able to (dramatic pause...) See the light! (they both laugh histarically)
Jude: So.. what's up with NBR? Sadie says your doing great things. Giving D. a run for his money eh?
Jaime: We're doing pretty well. But we will never be as big as Darius. I Don't ever want to because-
Jude: With all that business you loose the music. I know I know.
Jaime: And are you ready for this one..
Jude: Try me (at that moment both their cell phones ring. They look at their phones and then at eachother.)
Jude & Jaime: Its Tommy. It's Zepp. (Then they both answer their phones)
Jaime: Zepp slow down. i can't under stand you.
Jude: good morning. i'm out at lunch with jamie. hold on i think something's up he's on the phone with zepplin.
Jaime: are you sure you can't handle it on your own? okay i'll be right there. Jude I'm srry it's-
Jude: It's NBR. Don't worry. fill me in later. i'll call you...plus i've got to know what you were about to tell me.
(Jaime get up from his chair and kisses Jude on the cheek)
Jaime: Your the best.
Jude: Love you too (She says as he dashes back to his house.)
Tommy: So how was the night with the girls.
Jude: It was so much fun. But then when i woke up they were no where to be found.
Tommy: And let me guess Sadie and Jo were working on the wedding until just before dawn.
Jude: I guess so. they left me a note saying that they were doing errands. THis is to be expcted of Sadie but jo.
Tommy: You said Jo reminded you of Sadie. And from talking to her yesterday, She and sadie are practically the same person. I'd watch out for those two. Some times two really determined people together for too long doesn't work.
Jude: Oh tommy they were getting along fine last night. And do i have to remind you that people have said the same thing about us.
Tommy: Yes that is true. But you and I are familiar with compromise. When have you ever seen Sadie compromise?
Jude: ....
Tommy: and JO??
Jude: ...omg now that you mention it Jo was quite good a getting what she needed to get things done on the tour. uuhh...i knew things were too perfect
TBC.....
