Chapter 11

The first week of filming flew by faster than Jude would've thought. Since Tommy and the rest of the girls were busy filming dates and outings, Jude's life seemed to go back to normal, at least as much as it could. Haley and her would spend their days goofing off in the game room or in the studio listening to Jude perform and write songs. Haley also knew how to play piano and drums, which came in handy for Jude from time to time. They had just finished recording the song "How strong do you think I am" which Jude had just finished writing a few days earlier.

"Jude that was awesome! You should perform that at your concert tomorrow night," Haley said excitedly.

"No, Darius only wants me to perform songs from my album, including My Sweet Time and Waste my Time," Jude replied unenthusiastically. Haley laughed.

"Nice titles, how about you make another song titled "Tommy Time", she mocked.

Jude glared at her, clearly not finding it funny.

"What?" Haley asked innocently, "It would be funny." Jude rolled her eyes.

"Maybe for you, for me it would be torture," she laughed.

"Oh so now you hate him?"

"Easier to hate him than like him," Jude replied matter-of-factly.

"Ahh…gotcha.," Jude got up out of her chair.

"I need a break. Let's go swimming for a little bit," she suggested, pulling Haley up as well.

"Can't, we're not allowed in the 'filming areas,'" Haley replied using air-quotes. Jude stopped and put a hand on her hip in thought.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that…well then let's just go upstairs and watch it on TV. The episode from Tuesday should be on in about a half hour." Jude checked her cell phone for the time, seeming unfazed.

"You want to watch the show?" Haley asked in shock.

"Yeah why not?" Jude kept her tone light and bubbly. Haley just sighed in disbelief, holding the door open for Jude.

"Okay, if you really want to," she replied shaking her head knowingly.

As they were going upstairs they passed through the kitchen and saw cameras outside in the back yard filming everyone. Most were just having drinks or swimming. Others, like Rachel and Sadie, were in the hot tub with Tommy. Jude saw Tommy lean over and whisper something in her sister's ear while Sadie giggled flirtatiously. What the…? What the heck is he doing? Mr. "I'm faking it" sure doesn't look like he's faking to me! Men…can't live with them, but apparently we're not supposed to live without them.

Haley saw Jude's expression turn from calm to pissed off in a matter of seconds. This is why she shouldn't be watching the show. Haley thought while steering Jude off towards the door.

"Maybe you're not ready to be watching the show yet," she said carefully. Jude sighed, giving one last glance out to the backyard.

"Maybe you're right. But I am watching the elimination tomorrow, no matter what you say," she said determined.

"Fine, but you really need to get over him and stick with this plan."

"I am sticking with the plan!" Jude exclaimed before letting out a loud huff, "I don't even remember why I had a stupid plan anyway. I mean what's so bad about the million dollars," she spoke to her self. Haley ignored her comment before pressing the issue further.

"Yeah but part of this plan should include you getting over him; that would make things hell of a lot easier," she told her as they were rounding the corner to go upstairs. What they didn't see was the Jeff, an executive, lurking in the side-hallway.

When they were gone, Jeff walked slowly out into the main entry-way. Very interesting…he thought carefully, I can see it now "Sister versus sister, a behind the scenes affair with Little Tommy Q". The question is…how to get them alone and on camera? Jeff thought smiling as he followed the girls upstairs.

Inside of Jude's room, Haley plopped down onto her bed as Jude closed the door. Jeff took his place right outside the door, pressing his ear up against it.

Jude turned to Haley with a smirk on her face. Haley recognized that look instantly. She had an idea working out that would probably turn out bad. Not that it was going to stop her from doing it.

"I think have I a plan to mess with Lil' Tommy Q's head." Haley sat up with a weary but unsurprised look on her face.

"Not another plan, please! Look how well the first one turned out," Haley tried, but her protest fells on deaf ears.

"I'll be right back!" Jude exclaimed suddenly, a smirk curving out into a smooth smile. Ignoring Haley's disapproval she turned on her heels, heading for the door. On the other side Jeff abruptly tore his face from the door just as Jude was opening it. They bumped into each other as Jeff was trying to cover up his behavior. Instead he fell to the ground upon their collision.

"Oh God! Are you okay? I am so sorry!" Jude said as she helped him up, her brain not realizing it odd that he be standing right outside her door. Jeff smiled casually.

"Don't worry about it. Sorry but I didn't catch your name earlier at the meeting?," he said extending his hand out to her.

"I'm Jude," she replied shaking his hand. Jude smiled politely at him. "Hey umm…do you know if they are still shooting down stairs?"

"Actually they just finished so it's okay if you want to go downstairs now."

"Thank you! Oh, and I'm really sorry for knocking you over," she replied apologetically. Jeff grinned brightly.

"Don't worry about it," he said, turning away from her to stride down the hallway. Once he was facing away from her a devilish grin broke out across his lips as he reached in his pocket for his cell phone.

Jude stared after Jeff shaking her head. She couldn't believe how careless she was at times. Leave it to me to knock down unsuspecting producers walking down the hallway…she thought to herself with a small smile.

Jude then remembered her newly discovered plan, the wheels inside her head immediately kicking on again; however, as soon as they started they froze, forgetting why she had stormed out of her room in the first place. Knowing Haley was probably wondering where the heck she was, Jude turned on her heel and walked back into the room, feeling a little bit stupid.

When she entered the room, Haley was pacing back and forth. Her head shot up when Jude entered.

"Well?" Haley asked curiously. Jude closed the door and beamed excitedly.

"I've got a plan." Haley rolled her eyes before laughing.

"You always have plans; and none of them are ever going to do you any good," she pointed out. It was Jude's turn to laugh.

"Oh, but this one will be so much fun!" Jude exclaimed, over-exaggerating her happiness. Haley crossed her arms over her chest, trying to hide the smirk that was dying to suppress itself.

"Okay, you got me. What is it?"

"We're going to crash the party down there," Jude stated eagerly. Haley's brows creased, but Jude could see intrigue form in her eyes.

"What are you saying?"

"I am saying you and I…. we go trash that little bay watch party down there." Haley smiled.

"I have to say…I love the way your mind works," she replied, "sometimes." Haley and Jude chuckled before Jude realized that she, rather stupidly, didn't bring a swimsuit.

"Except we have a small problem," Jude said demonstrating with her fingers.

"And what's that?"

"How can I wreck a swim party if I have nothing to swim in?"

"You mean to tell me, that you came here, to The Bachelor, without bringing a swim suit? Wow, I really did over estimate you…I took you to be the smart one of the family," Haley mocked sarcastically. Jude scoffed.

"Hey now…" Haley laughed.

"Don't worry about it. I should have an extra suit in my room."

"Thanks…now let's go get hot!" They both busted out in laughter.

"Don't ever say that again," Haley joked as Jude rolled her eyes smiling.

Outside Tommy was still soaking up the hot tub with Sadie, Rachel, Tiffany, and Laura. He had seen the way Jude was looking at him through the kitchen earlier. What does she want from me? She pushes me away then looks like she wants to kill me if I so much as talk to another girl! God…she needs to stop this act and just tell me how she feels. He thought, but she did Tommy, didn't you hear her at the club last weekend? She said "I don't want you". Tommy smiled at Laura trying to make it seem like he was in the conversation. Tommy then looked back at the empty kitchen window…I don't buy it.
