Chapter 2
Jude slowly plunked down onto the couch in the lounge of G Major. They had been working on shooting her video for nearly twenty one hours and they were still looking at another three hours before they were done. Jude smiled as she saw Tom Dean, the male actor she was working with, round the corner with two large coffees in his hands.
"Dean," She said using the nickname that she had decided on as soon as she had found out his name was Tom. "You are my new best friend!" She marveled at how the two of them had fallen into such an easy friendship after meeting only twenty one hours ago. The director was right he knew exactly what to do in front of the camera to make the story feel real. Off set they had quickly discovered that they had a lot in common and they had both struggled with being so young in the entertainment industry. She giggled a little as he took her left shoe off and began to massage her foot.
"Okay, that's it we're getting married as soon as we are done shooting" She said relaxing her whole body while he comforted her sore foot.
"Actually I was hoping I could get your number" He responded without missing a beat. Jude slid herself up a little on the couch. A few months earlier the answer would have been no, but now that Tommy had been gone for almost three months going out with someone else didn't seem as strange. She remembered the phone call from the morning but quickly put it out of her mind. What could it hurt to go out with a gorgeous boy she got along with so well.
"I suppose I could do that." She beamed at him as he began to take off her other shoe.
Jude had only been asleep for two hours when she heard the knocking. She groaned hoping that Sadie or her dad would get it, but after continuous knocking she concluded she must be alone. She drug herself out of bed and nearly tripped down the stairs. Whoever was at the door had better have a good reason for banging on her door. She opened the door to a very pale Jamie. He pushed his way through the door and sat down on the couch.
"Jamie, I have been shooting a video all night if this could wait until tomorrow…" But she stopped short when Jamie turned around and gave her a dirty look.
"He called me." He said, not waiting for her reaction. "Tommy called me looking for you. He said you two have been talking. Jude how long have you been talking to Tommy you just started to get over him. Can I remind you that he left you, high and dry. He didn't think about his job or his friendship with you he just left." Jude sank down against the wall, she wasn't sure what she should say. "I told him I would tell you he called, and I almost didn't but he said he needed to talk to you desperately. Jude what is going on?"
"I need your phone Jamie. Mine had an unfortunate collision with the wall." She smiled at him hoping that he would at least smile and break the tension in the room. But he didn't. "Look Jamie I don't know what is going on, but if he wants me to call him I will. I need your phone." She put her palm out and waited to see how Jamie would react. He pulled himself off the couch and threw his phone at her.
"Don't do this to yourself again Jude. We I've been supportive this time but don't expect me to be here to pick up the pieces when he breaks your heart again." Jude heard the door slam and tried to fight back the tears that were forming. She knew he was right. She looked down at Jamie's cell phone. A picture of the two of them goofing around at G-major was his background screen. Jamie's friendship meant the world to her but he was going to have to try to understand she thought as she dialed the number and placed the phone up next to her ear. She held her breath as the ringing began.
