Song Used: Someday We'll Know- Mandy Moore
Chapter 16: New Home
So one week had passed since Tommy and I got engaged. I loved it but, I didn't love the press. Almost every headline in the papers and online involved me being pregnant, or one of us was deathly ill. I was sick and tired if it but, I wasn't going to complain. I was just going to walk around, and do my wedding plans.
It's been three months and a week, that's how long me and Tommy have been together and we were already engaged. I wasn't going wait for the fact that my parents both hated him. I also wasn't going to give in to the fact he was my sisters ex-boyfriend, and that she kissed him on my birthday. I wasn't going to let anything get in my way.
I was sitting on my couch, in my house, when I heard a knock at the door. I walked over and it was Tommy, and he had a bouquet of lilies and orchids which were my favorites. I ran to him and I hugged him.
"So what is the occasion?" I asked him.
"Nothing, I just wanted to give you flowers. Is anything wrong with that?"
"Alright, well would you like to come in?"
"Only for a minute, I have to get back to G-Major. Darius is up to something again."
"That man is always up to something."
"So, do like the flowers?"
"Duh, I can't believe you remembered my favorites." I said, hugging him again.
"It's kinda hard to forget. But, I just wanted to show you how much I care."
"Well, I believe you." She said and I had a sigh of relief on my face. "For now,"
"So basically you're saying that you don't trust me?"
"Not technically, that. But, I do have my suspicions." I said. I laid the flowers down on the table behind Tommy, and I put my arms around his neck and kissed him, hard. Until, I heard someone clearing their throat and it didn't sound like my dad. I turned around to see who it was and I was shocked.
"Grandpa, I didn't know you were coming in." I said, and I blushed a little bit.
"Yes, I came to see your mother, and I can't find her." He said.
"Mom went to Italy with her new husband Don, and my dad bought the house from her."
"You're telling me that your mother ran off with her divorce lawyer and didn't even invite us to the wedding."
"Yep, if it makes you feel any better, she didn't say goodbye to me, and she took of with some of my money." He just looked at me. "How long are you and Grandma in town?"
"For the next month," I walked over to him and I hugged him. I saw my grandmother appear by his side and I hugged her as well. I saw them both look at Tommy. "So, who is this young man that you were kissing?"
"Oh, this is my fiancé Tommy Quincy." I said with a huge smile on my face. They walked over to him.
"Hello Tommy, I am George, and this is Jade. We're Victoria's parents." My grandpa held his hand out.
"I'm Tommy Quincy." He said, taking my grandfathers hand shaking it. My grandmother on the other hand went over to hug him. I heard Tommy phone go off, and I knew it couldn't be good.
"Hello" he said into the phone.
"T, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" Darius yelled. I could hear him from where I was standing.
"Jeezz, Darius. I'm on my way. I had to talk to Jude."
"WELL GET YOUR ASS IN HERE AND HURRY IT UP!" I heard Darius yell.
He snapped the phone shut. I was a little freaked out; I didn't know what was going on.
"Wow, I didn't know Darius could get in such a bad mood, in thirty minutes." I said.
"I know, I better get going, if I want to have a job." I walked up to him and I kissed him passionately before he left. I was happy, and I was still worried at why my grandparents flew all the way here from London to see us.
"Do you two work together?" My grandmother asked.
"Yes, he is the co-producer for my album."
"How old is he?" my grandfather asked. My grandmother just looked at him.
"Twenty-five, he will be twenty-six in about a month."
"He is too old for you Jude. Oh yes, how long have you been dating?"
"We have been dating for three months but, we have known each other for almost four years and been dating on and off."
"You're a wild child Jude. Where is you sister?"
"Oh she is out of town with her boyfriend Kwest."
"Your sister serious about this boy?" she asked.
"Very serious." I said. "If you want you both can come to the studio and watch me record some stuff?"
"We would love that." She said.
I went and took Tommy's flowers in the kitchen and put them in a vase. Then I grabbed my keys, and my jacket and we left. When we pulled up to G-Major, we walked inside and it was actually kind of quiet. The lights were off, and something was up.
"SURPRISE!!!" I heard everyone yell and I looked around. I saw Sadie, Kwest, Georgia, EJ, and everyone. Darius walked up to me.
"D, what is going on?"
"You'll see. T, bring it out?" Tommy walked out and he was carrying a huge plaque. It had a picture of me and Tommy from the release party, and it had my third album cover, and a huge disc next to it. He came over to me.
"Tommy, what is this?"
"Are you telling her D, or am I?" Tommy looked at Darius and he motioned for Tommy to speak.
"I know it's only been a week since your third album dropped but, it's already certified triple platinum." Tommy said.
"You're kidding me?"
"I wish I was girl. You did it." I hugged Tommy tightly and I hugged Darius.
"D, this must have cost a fortune"
"It was well worth it. Jude you broke the numbers with this c.d. I don't know how this happened but it did, and you should be amazed." He said.
I couldn't believe it, nor did I want to believe it. It had only been a week since my alum dropped. I was now officially happy with all of my heart.
"So this is what you were up to?" I said to Tommy.
"Yes, Darius wanted me to give this to you." I hugged him tightly. I was a little in disbelief but, I was getting around to believing it.
"Well, I'm glad you did. I'm going in Studio A to record some stuff, and plus my grandparents have never seen me record I figured I should show them."
"Alright, I'll come with." He said. I turned to my grandparents and they followed us into Studio A. We walked in and Darius was already in there.
"D, what's up?"
"I want the two of you to do another duet, the last one was amazing and I think it's time for another."
"We were already working on one." Tommy lied.
"That's great to hear, I want one on my desk no later than tomorrow morning eight a.m." He said, walking out of the studio.
"This is getting interesting." I said.
"Is that even possible?" My grandmother asked.
"Not really since we are going to have to write, record, and mix it all in one day." Tommy said.
"Hey, we can write it tonight but, now I want to finish a song I started earlier."
"Which one?" He asked.
"'Someday we'll Know'" I said.
"Hold on, can't that be transformed into a duet?"
"Yeah, it could. I mean you write it with me."
"Music already done."
"Yeah, we just have to record the vocals."
"Well then let's get started." I said. I went in the sound booth, and I nodded at Tommy to press record. Then he silently slipped into the booth with me and put on the headphones.
Jude Ninety miles
outside Chicago
Can't stop driving I don't know why
So
many questions, I need an answer
Two years later you're still on
my mind
Tommy whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a
lifetime?
Both Did the captain of the Titanic
cry?
Oh, Someday we'll know
Jude If love
can move a mountain
Both Someday we'll know
Tommy Why the sky is blue
Both Someday we'll
know
Why I wasn't meant for you...
Jude Does
anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Tommy Or what the wind
says when she cries?
Jude I'm speeding by the place
that I met you
Both For the ninety-seventh time...Tonight
Someday we'll know
Jude
If love can move a mountain
Tommy Someday we'll
know
Tommy Why the sky is blue
Both Someday
we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you...
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah
Someday we'll know
Jonathan Why
Samson loved Delilah?
Both One day I'll go
Mandy
Dancing on the moon
Both Someday you'll know
that
I was the one for you...
Both Open up the world
Jude I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
Tommy Watched the stars crash in the sea
Jude If I can ask God just one question
Both Why aren't you here with me tonight?
Oh, Someday we'll
know
Tommy If love can move a mountain
Both
Someday we'll know
Jude Why the sky is blue
Both Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for
you...
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Someday we'll know
Tommy Why Samson loved Delilah
Both One day
I'll go
Jude Dancing on the moon
Both Someday
you'll know
That I was the one for you...
When we finished the song, Tommy was right, it did sound better with guy vocals to it. I was happy, and we both knew that Darius would be happy that we were done. Now, all we had to do was mix it and were done.
We walked out of the booth and back into the sound room where my grandparents were waiting.
"Jude, did you write that yourself?" she asked.
"Mostly, Tommy helped a lot though"
"It was amazing." They both said in unison.
"I'm glad you liked it. But, we have to mix this so if you want you can go back to the house with Sadie."
"I thought she was out of town?" my grandmother asked.
"Oh, I was supposed to be but, Darius told me and Kwest what was going on, and we decided to stay. I will be glad to take you both back to the house." Sadie said to them
"Your evil Sadie, I mean it." I said to her.
"I know, but, that's why I'm your sister." She said, and she left with my grandparents and Kwest.
"This is going to be a long night" I said.
"Yep, a very long one." He said.
"You know, I don't think we have pulled a real all-nighter in a while. Those other late night didn't count because we were avoiding the press." I said.
"Your right and look it's only five o'clock. This is going to take forever."
"I know, and I'm hungry." I said.
"Fine, do you want to go and get something to eat and come back here?"
"How about we go back to you're place, and come back around six in the morning." I said him.
"You have a very tempting offer Jude but,"
"Don't but, me Tommy Q, come on. Please, please, please." I gave him my puppy dog face and batted my eyes.
"Damn alright. Let's go." He said. He grabbed me and the plaque and we left G-Major. When we pulled up to his place, we went inside, and Tommy was carrying the plaque.
"You cold have let me carry that."
"Nope"
"Your just going to have to carry it downstairs anyways."
"Why?"
"Because I want to take it home"
"But, what if this is your home now?"
"What are you talking about?"
"This was going to happen eventually but, I want you to live here from now on."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously." I said. She jumped in my arms and hugged me.
