Chapter Twenty-Five

The next day, Jude was at the airport writing in her journal while she waited for Mason's flight to land. Quarter after 5 already? His flight is 45 minutes late. He better get here fast or he's going to have to walk to the mansion. She sat there pondering the idea of Mason running down the street with his cowboy hat on with boots and suit case in hand trying to call for a taxi. It made her giggle inside but those giggles slowly melted away when hands came up behind her face covering her eyes.

"Guess Who?" she quickly moved Mason's hands away from her eyes. She eagerly got up and gave him a big hug.

"It's so good to see you. I mean…wow…here you are!" She gave him a smile while reaching up to hug him again. They parted and started walking over to baggage claim.

"How's life back in Toronto?"

"It's good. Darius is making me work over time with Kwest. He wants the 'big' album done. You know how D is, no wasting his time or money."

"Yep, that's big D for you there." They quickly found Mason's bag and headed outside. "So, has D recruited any new artists while I have been gone to replace me?"

"Jude…you know no one can replace you. You're a one of a kind artist," Jude quickly smiled at him and gave yet again another hug. The count was now up to three, which broke Jude's record for the amount of hugs she can give in five minutes. Not that she actually kept track. "Wow…what is with all the love?"

"Let's just say it's been a while since I have had a true real friend. Someone I can count on and I can share anything with." She smiled at Mason as their limo drove around the corner to pick them up. Once inside, Mason found the button and closed the wall between the driver and the backseat.

"Okay we are all alone. Now tell me why you really wanted me to come." Jude began to tell her case to Mason.

"Well you know how I told you I fell in love with Tommy? Well Jeff, the head producer, had video taped me and Tommy's precious moments together. He then had me come on the show to be a contestant. That much I had already known, but then he twisted it around so that instead of nine other girls joining, I was the only one. So of course when the elimination night came I came down the stairs with a spotlight on me. Everyone was shocked, angry, but also happy not to be going home. Let's just say Tommy and Sadie were the ones who were angry, but to make it even worse Jeff showed the whole world the video he taped of me and Tommy! It was horrible and embarrassing. After they where done I tried to escape the scene but unfortunately Tommy had beat me there. He was angry and upset but was happy at the same time because he thought that our relationship could work. I tried explaining that even though I am going to be on the show, we can't be together because it would hurt him in the long run. He wouldn't buy it." She paused.

"Wow…Jude I'm…." but Jude cut him off.

"Yeah you thought I had a crappy night then? Well it got worse. Sadie ended up barging into my room giving me a love lecture and telling me how I betrayed her and all that. When she was finally done I explained everything to her. Well almost everything. I left out about the part where if Tommy picks me in the long run that I have to choose the million dollars." She sat there putting her head in her hands. "When did this all get so complicated?"

"The moment you video taped Sadie's application for this dumb show." They both nodded their heads, finally pulling up to the mansion. Getting out of the limo, Jude ran up to the drivers' window. He rolled the window down and stuck his head out.

"Will ten dollars work if you don't tell Jeff about this and you take Mason's stuff to his hotel?"

"An autograph will work for me." She took out a pen and her journal and singed a piece of paper. "Thank you." He then drove away. Mason and Jude quickly ran inside trying to hide from everyone else as they snuck into the mansion. After reaching Jude's room she closed the door and locked it, trying to catch her breath at the same time.

"Well this is my room," she said to Mason as he looked around. It was still a mess from earlier. It looked like Mount Vesuvius had wreaked havoc on her closet. Not a single piece of clothing was hung up; everything was strewn across the floor from Jude's short outburst the day before.

"Wow…some things never do change." She quickly dropped her jaw and threw a pillow at him. Before long they were deep into a pillow/clothes/whatever they could throw fight. The room was ten times worse than before, which Jude never thought could be possible. "I think we should clean your room. It's kind of a pig sty."

"Only you would say 'pig sty'." They both laughed as they took garbage bags and started throwing clothes into them. Soon Mason would be at the other end of the room and Jude would roll up her clothes and shoot them into the bag. They stared playing 'laundry basketball'. The room was finally clean but something was wrong.

"Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!! No it has to be here." She started tearing her room apart again.

"Hey, we just cleaned this room. I don't want to do it again." She stood back up from her spot on the floor. She took in a big puff of air and blew her hair out of her face. "Now, what is so important you can't find?"

"My journal! I think I might have left it at the airport!"

"No, I remember you taking it in the limo."

"But I brought it out of the Limo….oh no!"

"What?"

"The driver said he wanted an autograph so I gave him my journal and wrote on a piece of paper. I guess I forgot to take it back! Now he has it."

"Well when I get to my hotel I'll see if he left it with my stuff."

"Well what if he's some psycho maniac who is going to steal my journal." She started pacing the room.

"Relax, it's just a journal. I mean, it couldn't have been that important."

"But it is. It's not just any journal. It's my SONG WRITING journal. That has my soul in it, my songs, and feelings. I need it back…" she sat down on her bed. "What am I going to do?" He was about to answer but was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Who is it?"

"Its me. Can we talk?" Jude recognized his voice. "Only if you want your ass kicked," she mumbled to herself, stealing a glance at Mason.

She opened the door letting Tommy see Mason. Mason looked at Jude to see if it was okay to get in Tommy's face. She shook her head no and Mason's face dropped in disappointment.

"Who is this?" pointing to Mason.

"This is Mason." she put her arm around Mason. She didn't want to keep hurting him, but maybe if she made him jealous it would be easier to deal with, even if it was all a lie. Tommy just stared at them, not sure what to say and suddenly forgetting why he had come in the first place. Soon he became uncomfortable with Mason having his arm around Jude like that, so he decided to leave.

"Nice to meet you…Mason. Umm…I'll talk to you later Jude. I don't want to interrupt anything," he spoke bitterly before leaving and slamming the door behind him. Wow…it hasn't taken her long to get over me.

"Why did you hold me back? I could have easily taken him down!"

"I don't doubt it, but it just wasn't the best time to crush him," she said before they broke out laughing again.

"Well there is one thing that you are right about."

"And what is that?"

"He is pretty cute." Jude just gave a dramatic sigh and shuddered in disgust.

"Banish those sinful thoughts Mason Fox."

"I'm just kidding! Who would want such a jerk that messes with hearts that belong to beautiful, amazing women?"

"Obviously me. Although this time it was me that got the chance the break his heart. "

They heard a knock on the door. "That better not be Tommy again." She went up to the door. It was Mike the Executive producer.

"This for you and all of the contestants." He gave her an envelope. "Just so you know I had nothing to do with what Jeff did. It was wrong and immature and…" but Jude cut him off.

"Yeah, but you made the final decision to air it" she closed the door in front of him and sat back down next to Mason. She ripped the envelope open and revealed a shiny pink brochure with a note in it. The brochure was an advertisement for a fashion show event for charity.

"It's an invitation to join a fashion show for charity and they're saying that all of the contestants must design a red dress for the show with a stylist's help, and that all contestants must be apart of it." Jude plopped on her bed and put a pillow over her head and started whining into it. Mason shrugged.

"Sounds like fun."
