Chapter 5 -Jude

Thursday could not come quicker for me. Today meant that there was only one more day until the weekend then I wouldn't have to deal with all this G-Major drama until Monday.

Ugh! Monday the day of the week I hate the most. You want to know why. Because thats the day when all this drama starts again and its also the day I start praying for the weekend to hurry up and get here.

It's funny though. I never felt like this before. I used to love Monday's. Only because it was the beginning of the week and that meant countless hours with Tommy until Friday night.

BUT! That wasn't the case anymore. I hated Monday's, Tommy is gone, and my heart is bruised as a result of it.

That doesn't matter to me anymore either now I found someone who replaced Tommy. Not in that way. I meant in the way of my best friend, supporter and confidence booster. And no it's not Karma.

It's Samantha.

This girl has helped me through so much over these past 4 days. She knows stuff about me that Karma doesn't even know about. I know right how is that possible if me and Karma are best friends. But lately Karma hasn't been around and Speid looked kind of depressed.

:Note to self: Find out where Karma disappeared to.

Anyway back to me. Today is also the day Samantha gets her daughter back.

I could tell she is really anxious about seeing her again. How do I know. Because all day yesterday while we were rehearsing in studio D she kept looking at her watch and counting down the hours. Yes. counting them down.

The only time she didn't count down was when she was in Darius's office for about an hour.

Humm! Wonder what that was all about. Anyway maybe she'll tell me later. Right now I have to take a shower and get ready to go to the studio. Today me and Samantha are suppose to go to the studio together.

Samantha

Woo Hoo!! Thursday's here. That means only a few more hours and I'll have Thalia in my arms again.

I know what your thinking how do I know it's only a couple of hours. Thats because I started counting them down. And yesterday I was in Darius's office for an hour and he told me the exact time Natalia's flight was suppose to land.

The whole time I was in his office all we did was talk and laugh.

OK! We also kissed for about 20 minutes. But before you start critizing him about his age he's not that old he's only 35. See told ya not that old. And besides I'll be 20 in a couple of months.Whats a 15 year difference.Nothing. So people can not talk about us.

Wait I don't even think there is an us. I mean come on now all we did was kiss. And I'm not exactly sure I am over Eric yet.

Anyway. Enough stalling. Let me go take a shower and get dressed. Today me and Jude are suppose to ride to work together.

Damn it.. I just remembered something. I have to buy Natalia a car seat before I head to the studio.

I hope Jude doesn't mind. Oh well I'll call her when I get out the shower.

25 Minutes Later-Samantha

Ah! I feel so refreshed. Ok so let me call Jude.

Ohh this is fun to listen to. Instead of the regular ringing you hear. Jude has one of her songs playing. Kinda cool isn't it.

"Hello"

"Hey Jude it's Samantha."

"Hey whats up."

"Nothing just getting ready for work."

"Me too. Oh I should be at your house in 25 minutes."

"Alright cool. Hey Jude the reason why I called you is because before we go to the studio I have to go buy Natalia a car seat."

"Oh ok no problem. We can go there before we head to the studio and if were late I'll just tell Darius to go fly a kite."

I couldn't help but laugh. This girl is hilarious.

"Alright so I'll see you in about a half an hour."

"Yeah."

"Ok Bye."

"Bye"

Man this girl is like the sister I never had. Ok so time to finish getting ready.

Narrator

A half an hour later Jude pulled her car into Samantha's driveway and saw Eric come out in his pajama bottoms to get the paper.

'Humph nice body' Jude thought to her self as she got out the car.

"Morning Eric is Samantha ready."

"I don't know. Come on in a check." he said with an attitude.

"Eric watch that attitude of your towards Jude. You hear me" Samantha yelled from upstairs.

Jude started laughing at Samantha. She always had a way of making Eric feel like he was her child or something and god did he hate it.

"What ever." he yelled back as he went into the kitchen and ate his breakfast.

2 minutes later Jude was waiting for Samantha and the bottom of the steps when she appeared at the top and struck a pose.

"How do I look." says Samantha as she twirled around to Jude can see her.

"You look cute as always."

Samantha was wearing a cute pair Rocawear jeans with a white tank top and some white tall boots.

"Aww Jude look at you. Thats a sexy outfit. Are you wearing that for someone special?"

Jude scoffed

"No. I just felt like getting pretty today."

"Ok."

Samantha looked at Jude's out fit. It was really cute. She had on some light blue jeans with a black tank top smiliar to Samantha's and had on some black tall boots that went over her jeans.

If these girls were not music stars people could easily suspect them to be models.

"Alright let's go first stop. Toys R' Us."

"Great lets go."

An hour later the girls pulled up into the alley of G-Major. They quickly got out the car and ran into the building.

As soon as they got into the studio Sadie pointed to Darius's office where he was waiting at the door with anger all in his eyes.

"My office now." he said deep and low. You could really hear the anger in his voice.

When they entered the room he slammed the door causing both of them to jump.

"Care to explain why my two best singers are an hour late."

"Darius go..."

Jude was cut off by Samantha as she giggled before she spoke.

"Darius it's my fault. I had to go to toys' r us and get a car seat for Natalia. We didn't mean to be late. I guess we lost track of time."

"Ok what ever just don't let it happen again and next time call and let me or Sadie know. You can leave."

Samantha and Jude walked out Darius's office and into Studio D.

Yesterday Samantha decided against letting Darius hear 'Listen'. Even though a part of her wanted him to hear it. The other part decided it was best if she chose another song.

So she did. It was called 'I Changed My Mind.'

For the next two hours Samantha and Jude sat in studio D and wrote some songs. Samantha concentrated on put the finishing touches on 'I Changed My Mind.'

Jude on the other hand actually spent an hour and forty-five minutes writing some songs. She spent the other 15 talking with Sadie at the receptionist desk.

They were gossiping and planning the wedding.

"So I heard Tommy called you Tuesday." said Sadie

"Yeah he called and told me he loved me and that he'll see me soon."

"Humph. Sounds like typical little Tommy Q."

Jude and Sadie started laughing when a voice came from behind them.

"The name is Tom Quincy. Don't you ever call me little Tommy Q again."

Suddenly it was as if someone sucked all the air out of the room. Jude started to slowly turn around praying it was all a dream.

But sure enough when she turned around it wasn't. She came face to face with Tommy who was holding a beautiful little girl in his hands.

"Oh this is rich. I can't believe it."

"Jude you don't know what your talking about."

Jude didn't say another word to him. She just ran off towards studio D. She ran in at the same time that Samantha was coming out causing them to collide.

"Damn it" Said Samantha as she bent down to pick up her papers.

"Oh I'm so sorry Samantha this is totally my fault."

"That's ok."

"Mommy." screamed the toddler in Tommy's arms.

Samantha looked up to see a man holding on to her daughter and her daughter fighting to be free.

Tommy could no longer hold on to the toddler so he let her go and watched as she ran into her mothers arms.

"Oh my beautiful little girl." Samantha said as she hugged and kissed Natalia.

"Wait you mean to tell me that this little girl is YOUR daughter." asked Jude.

"Of course she's my daughter I mean she does look like me."

Jude just stared back and forth between Samantha and Natalia and then she saw it. Natalia did look like her.

She turned to look for Tommy but when she looked at where he was standing he was gone.

Just as she was about to go look for him. Darius came out his office and told her and Samantha to come in.

"Hey D whats up" Samantha asked as she, Jude and Natalia came into the room.

Jude finally realized where Tommy went. He was sitting in the seat closest to Darius's desk.

"Well I'm just going to get straight to the point. Samantha Jude. Tommy is your producer."

"Like hell he is." Jude screamed as she got up and started to walk down.

"Sit back down." said Darius in a low and intimidating voice.

Jude had no choice but to listen to him. She didn't want to risk her job on something as stupid as Tom Quincy being her producer.

"Fine. He'll be my producer but that doesn't mean I have to like it."

"Ok I'm confused is this the same Tommy you told me about the other day?" asked Samantha.

Jude said nothing but shook her head.

"Ok wow ackward" said Samantha causing her and Jude to bust out laughing.

"Oh Darius I wanted to run my new song by you to see what you think of it."

"Alright shoot."

"I have to warn you though it has sort of a hip-hop vibe."

"Hip-Hop huh. Now I gotta hear this."

"Ok the name is 'I Changed My Mind.'

There's this girl I know
so deep in love (in love)
Do almost anything
to make him see she's the one
but he doesn't feel a girl like her
He's so, so wrapped up
Cause the average girl
will give him anything he wants

He's so caught up
He won't call herHe shows no love
So she decides

I changed my mind
I don't love you
I don't love you no more
Don't waste my time

It's the funniest thing cause I
know how I feel inside
but you never felt the same as I
(never, never, never, ohh)
I miss him so much
I bet you don't even notice
and he don't even realise
Cause he...

He's so caught up
He won't call her
He shows no love
So she decides

I changed my mind
I don't love you
I don't love you no more
Don't waste my time

I'm so over you
got no more to give
I gave it all to you
and you couldn't handle it
and I don't care
if you come back to me on your knees
I just don't love you no more

I changed my mind
I don't love you
I don't love you no more
Don't waste my time

What you thinkin'
When you see me on the corner
and you see me hagin' out
Guys on the block
don't care what it's all about
What you thinkin'
when you see me comin through
and you see me with a guy
on the corner til' 2

"Samantha that was great. That's going to be your next single after 'Overloved'." said Darius as he hugged her.

"So since you're my producer what did you think of my song." She asked Tommy.

"It's alright. I mean we could you a really cool beat for it and make it sound more hip-hop with a little R&B."

"Prefect so you all go into studio D and start recording."

As everyone was leaving Eric knocked on the door to speak to Darius.

"Come in. Yo T man stay behind real quick I want you to meet someone."

"Tio" (Uncle) Natalia screamed as Samantha put her down and she ran into hims arms.

"Hey my baby. My god your getting so big how old are you now."

"2" Natalia screamed as Jude awed.

"Ok give me back my child and go talk to Darius." Said Samantha as she took Natalia from Eric and walked away with Jude.

25 minutes later Tommy and Eric came out of Darius's office smiling and making their way towards Samantha and Jude.

"Oh boy. Don't look now but we've got company." said Jude as Samantha groaned and got up from the couch.

Jude did the same as she grabbed Natalia's hand and started to walk away.

"Would you girls wait we want to talk to you." Said Tommy refering to him and Eric.

Samantha and Jude stopped and turned to them.

Apparently while Eric and Tommy where in Darius's office they had a few words about Samantha and Jude. and their "love" for them.

"Please listen to us for a minute we love you." Said Eric.

"You love us huh? Did you hear that Jude they said they love us."

"Yeah I heard them" She said as she stared holes into Tommy.

He slightly cringed when he cought that she was staring at him with hate and sadness in her eyes.

"Tell me this Rico. Why is it when I told you those same 3 words through the years. All you did was stomp on them and my heart by telling me you did not feel the same. And if you loved me so much why did you always flaunt a new girl in my face everytime I was around you. Shit if that is love I would probably be died if you hated me."

"Thats not true. I told you everything on Tuesday."

"You see thats where your mistaken your eyes said you loved and cared for me but the words coming out of your mouth meant nothing to me especially after all you put me through. When you spoke it sounded like you were forcing your self to say you love me and I don't want anyone who is going to be forced to love me. I want someone to love unconditionally, I just want to be 'overloved' Eric can't you see." She said on the verge of tears.

'No i'm not going to let him see me hurt I don't want him to see that he still makes me cry. I will not let him think he won.' Samantha thought as she blinked back her tears.

"And you Quincy. If you loved me so much how come you broke my heart repeatedly over and over again. First you kiss me, then tell me forget it ever happened, you dated Sadie, you took my virginity, got me pregnant and then you leave me in the middle of the street crying on the night that was suppose to be our first date."

Samantha looked around after Jude's comment. Thank god the studios were noisy or else everyone would of heard Jude's confession.

"Um Jude lets take this conversation some where else before you slip with the tongue again."

Just then Jude realized her slip and when she looked at Tommy he was pale and had very shallow breathing.

As they were about to take this conversation into Studio D. 2 caucasian girls come busting into the studio's

They appeared to be stuck and lost so Sadie asked if they were lost.

"Eric Delko" Said the first girl

"Tommy" said the other.

Jude and Samantha looked at eachother and then back at Tommy and Eric.

"Who's that Eric."

Just as he was about to answer the first girl who was tall with long blonde hair and grey eyes came up to him and kissed him on the mouth.

Then the other girl who was just as tall as the first one, with short red hair and green eyes came and did the same to Tommy.

"Care to explain who they are." asked Jude.

"Oh I'll explain I'm Calleigh. Eric's girlfriend." Said the girl who kissed Eric.

"And I'm Gracelyn. Tommy's fiance."
