Chapter 15

Jude put her phone in her pocket and started gathering her things. She'd gone to the rehearsal space after her show. Every night when she would go to bed, all she would think about was that last night with Tommy.

Spied walked in on his phone and didn't even see her. Jude stood there listening to him talk all mushy on the phone. Sounded like her best bud had a girlfriend. She decided to slip out unnoticed. No need to embarrass him. She remembered when Spied had a crush on her.

All of G Major was a buzz about helping one of Darius' favorite Charities. Jude and the band were performing on a talk show to promote it. The interviewer asked her about her private life, and she joked around with the guys. She loved her band, but they were like brothers to her. Spied was acting weird, but she didn't think much about it because she caught Tommy out of the corner of her eye. It would be great to tell the truth, but she knew she couldn't.

"So, what are you doing? You want me to help with your jacket? Oh, I made this for your car." They'd just got back to G Major from the interview. Spied gave her an air freshener for her car with a picture of him on it. She thought it was odd but cute.

"Hey Spied, Monica's here." Wally called out.

"Wally's cousin." He explained. "We're just going bowling. It's not a…"

"You know your date." Kyle added.

"Well, I guess you better go." She watched him walk away.

"What was that?" Tommy asked when the guys were gone.

"They're going bowling." Jude shrugged.

"Jude, he made you an air freshener."

"Yeah. It's for my car. I thought it was sweet." She was so wrapped up with her feelings for Tommy that she never noticed when other guys liked her.

"Okay."

"So, what are you doing with your jacket?"

"Well, I was hoping …"

"Nope. I have my own to do."

"Fine. I will ask Portia."

"You do that."

The next day, she and Spied were at the rehearsal space working on a song. "I know you miss Kat, and you probably miss Jamie."

"Yeah, well I've been pushing people away lately." Which was true because she spent all her spare time with Tommy.

"I'm still here." He told her.

"That's good." She was glad she wasn't loosing all her friends.

"I want to tell you something." He said but they were interrupted by Kyle and Wally.

After that day, Spied wasn't acting the same. When they had a press conference and rehearsal for the auction, he started a fight with the guys. Her band was falling apart, and she didn't know why.

"I don't know what Spied's problem is." Jude huffed sitting down beside Tommy. They were backstage at the auction and he hadn't shown up yet.

"You're clueless." Tommy said laughing.

"What is that supposed to mean? What's so funny Quincy?"

"Does your band know about us?"

She shrugged. "I always figured they did. Why?"

"Spied has a crush on you."

"No, you think?"

"Think about it. He seemed jealous when you joked about being with Wally. He made you an air freshener for your car. He didn't want you to know he had a date."

"Not again." He gave a frustrated sigh. "It's gonna be like Jamie all over again."

"Just talk to him."

She knew exactly where to find him. "Spied, I think we need to talk." Jude said walking into the rehearsal space.

"What do you want, Harrison? Aren't you supposed to be walking a runway with Wally?"

"I want you to talk to me. Kyle worked really hard on this jacket, and Wally wants to grow up to be exactly like you. The band needs you."

"You mean you need me."

"Only because it is too late to change the t-shirts to Jude's Mind Explosion."

"How can you be so open in your music, but so closed off to this? What are you scared of?"

"I'm scared of loosing another friend. Jamie decided he couldn't handle my life. Kat felt like I wanted to constantly out shine her. I'm running low here."

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Spied, I need your friendship. I need you in the band because you calm my nerves. You're a great guitar player."

"Why can't you see more?"

"Because I have a boyfriend."

"Dude, the only guys you are ever around are me, Kyle, Wally, and Quincy. They only way you have a boyfriend is if Lord Squinty Frown…" He stopped talking.

Jude just gave him a look. "I'm sorry I haven't said anything before. We can't exactly go public, but I just figured you guys knew. You're like my brother. You're Bart to my Lisa. You're my best bud. Can you say something, please?"

"You and Quincy? How did I not see this?"

"Because we have to keep a low profile."

"Wow, how long?"

"Since right before you guys became my band."

"Do you love him?"

That's when Jude knew she wasn't going to loose his friendship. "Yeah, I do."

She and Spied have been best buds ever since. He stuck by her, and tried to understand her relationship with Tommy. Now she wished she knew who he was on the phone with.

There was only one good thing about being in Montreal. Tommy needed to talk to a certain person, and that person was on the other side of the hotel room door he was standing in front of. He wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans before knocking.

"Tom, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, Mr. Harrison. I'm in town on G Major business. I was hoping I could talk to you."

"How many times have I told you to call me Stuart? Come on in."

"Thanks, Stuart."

I'm sorry for leaving you hanging that is just the best place to end this chapter. Ipromise stay tuned and it all unfolds.
