Hi guys i've tried a different format of writing. Hopefully this is easier to understand. Let me know what you think.
Getting to know my father
Chapter 13
Previously
Man what am I going to do. I think I've really screwed up this time. Maybe we can leave t alone and not bring it up. Nah I couldn't do that to Jude no matter how much of a pain she is. I did that with Liz and look how that turned out. I mean I'm not even 30, and I can't have a some what normal relationship cos if I couldn't make it work with Liz what hope do I have.
After Jude had spoken to Kwest she took the list and went to find SME
Studio C
Speid: "Can you believe that we have to perform at Lord Squinty Frown Birthday"
Jude: "Yeah well what else did you expect"
Speid turn to see Jude standing in the doorway with the list of what could only be the song list they had to choose from.
Sped: "Hi Jude, I didn't see you there"
Wally: "I'll say"
Speid: "Shut it dude"
Jude: "Ok guys here's the list of songs. Kyle can you go get Karma. Wally can you get Mason. Then will decide whose going to perform which song."
Everyone: "Ok"
About 10 minutes later everyone was assembled in Studio C.
Jude: "Ok now that everyone is here, let's get this over and done with ok."
Mason: "Ok Jude lay the songs on me"
Jude: "Ok we have
Picking Up The Pieces
Quit Playing Games With My Heart
I Do (Cherish You)
I'll Be Loving You Forever
Harder To Breathe
He Don't Love You
Telling Everybody
Guilty
Taste It
Never Tear Us Apart
"
Kyle: "Man these songs are so gay are we sure Lord Squinty Frown is straight"
Speid: "I don't dude ask Jude she's the one having his baby"
Mason: "Well Jude"
Jude: "What"
Kyle: "Is he gay"
Jude: "Is who gay"
Wally: "Lord Squinty Frown"
Jude: "Yeah guys 'Lil Tommy Q' is gay, ok there's the scoop"
Wally" "You seriously let a gay guy impregnate you"
Speid: "Dude I can't believe you fell for that. That's got to be the oldest trick in the book"
Karma: "Ok guys can we please stop this childish behaviour"
Jude: "Karma we are talking about SME. I don't think they understand."
Karma: "Yeah well I've got to go so I guess you'll be in touch about rehearsal and stuff."
Jude: "Yeah I guess I'll be the middle man in all this" Jude replied with the roll of her eyes. Thinking why does everyone assume that I'm responsible for things when it come to Quincy.
Speid: "Hey Dude whatcha gonna perform?"
Jude: "Well Vincent I have no idea. I'll just take what ever.
Speid: "Hate the use of first name dude"
Jude: "Well when you stop calling me dude I'll stop Vincent"
Speid: "Ok Jude. Do you wanna perform with us"
Jude: "Sure D did after all say we had to perform but he didn't say we couldn't perform together or change the arrangement. So let's get to work."
Speid: "Ok what shall we do?"
Jude: "How about do Harder to Breathe the lyrics sound cool and with SME's sound it could be amazing."
Speid: "Ok let's get the lyrics"
Harder To Breathe (By Maroon 5) (I don't own the song)
How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable
So condescending, unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
The double-vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin' tread the ground that I am walking on
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Does it kill?
Does it burn?
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control?
Does it thrill?
Does it sting?
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold?
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breath
SME: "Man I think we found our song"
Jude: "Ok guys I've had enough I'm leaving. I'll see you tomorrow"
Meanwhile With Tommy
Tommy: "Hey Kwest where is everyone?"
Kwest: "Ah I don't know T. I guess they all went home"
Tommy: "Oh ok so what did D want?"
Kwest: "Ah ah you know he ah just wanted a status report"
Tommy:"Oh so you wanna grab some lunch since all the artists are awol"
Kwest: "Sure T"
On the way home Jude thought wouldn't it be a great idea to get the boyz together again before Georgia's reunion. That way there wouldn't be any surprises in front of the media.
Jude was pulled from her thoughts by the honking of car horns.
Jude: "Alright keep ya pants on will ya."
By the time Jude home she had it all worked out she would need she help of Kwest to pull this off.
The following morning Jude walked into G Major with a smile on her face.
Jude: "Hey Sadie D in?"
Sadie: "Jude? What are you doing here so early"
Jude: "What it's not like it's the first time I'm early"
Kwest:"Jude what's wrong" As he approached Sadie
Jude: "Why does something have to be wrong"
Kwest: "Ah maybe cos you're never early"
Just then Tommy strolled in
Tommy: "Hi guys"
Everyone: "Hi"
Tommy: "Jude"
Jude: "Yeah whatcha want Quincy"
Tommy: "Nothing I'm just surprised that's all you're here before me. Normally you're late"
Jude: "Yeah well what can I say. Sade's is D in?"
Sadie: "Yeah he is in his office"
Kwest: "Jude is there something wrong. Whatcha seeing D about?"
Jude: "Guys relax nothing is wrong. I just need to ask him something that's all"
Everyone: "Ok"
With that Jude proceeded to D's office
D's Office
Knock knock
D: "Come in"
Jude: "Hi D. How's things?"
D: "Good. Jude I know you didn't come in here to ask how I am. So what can I do for ya?"
Jude: "I need a favour"
D: "WHAT"
Jude: "You know it's Quincy's birthday soon"
D: "Yes Jude hence the meeting yesterday"
Jude: "D if you hadn't interrupted I could've finished what I was saying"
D: "Jude"
Jude: "Ok ok. I was hoping to present a surprise to Quincy so I was wondering is there any chance I could perform last?"
D: "Jude what exactly are you planning on doing?"
Jude: "Nothing D just make sure that all the media have left before I perform"
D: "Jude"
Jude: "Don't worry D it's nothing bad"
D: "Ok if I agree to this then you have to perform twice. You open and close the show. How's that"
Jude: "Do I have a choice"
D: "No"
Jude: "Ok I'll do it but only because I have no choice. Now D I need the day off to get it ready."
D: "Whatcha got planned"
Jude: "D you can pry all you want I'm not telling. Later"
Meanwhile at reception
Tommy: "What's with Jude"
Kwest: "No idea all I know is that she wanted to talk to D"
Tommy: "About what"
Kwest" "No idea"
Sadie: "You don't think it has anything to do with the baby do you?"
Kwest: "No of course not. Jude would've told me if there is anything wrong"
Sadie: "Why you're not the father. Jude would've told Tommy not you Kwest?"
Kwest: "Come on Sade's you know Jude is like a sister to me and I'm helping her through this."
Sadie: "Yeah I know that, but it's not your responsibility. It's Tommy's"
Tommy: "Kwest man I've only seen you act this over protective only over one girl"
Sadie: "Who was she Tommy"
Kwest: "It's no one Sade's"
Tommy: "Come on man she wasn't no one and you know it."
Kwest: "T man do you think it's a good idea to bring up the past."
Tommy: "Come off it man, I didn't mean anything by it. I was saying that you've only being protective of one girl"
Kwest: "Yeah I wonder why T"
By this stage Sadie was completely lost as to what had just transpired between Tommy & Kwest
Sadie: "That's enough. Just let me know if I should be worried about losing my man."
Jude: "Sadie who's trying to steal you're man. Tell me and I'll kick their sluttly arse."
Sadie: "Jude you're 4 months pregnant"
Jude: "So on one and I repeat no one steals my friends man"
Man she sounds just like Liz. Man I really screwed that relationship up. I don't know what happened exactly all I remember was coming home and…….
Everyone: "Tommy"
Jude, Kwest and Sadie all stood there looking at Tommy wondering where he went.
Jude: "Ok Quincy what's her name"
Tommy: "Liz" Tommy replied before he even had time to think
Sadie: "Liz as in"
Before Sadie could finish that sentence Jude informed her that D wanted to see her.
Kwest: "T man lets go get some work done"
Jude: "Kwest can I talk to you for a sec"
Kwest: "Sure Jude, T why don't you go ahead and I'll catch up"
Kwest: "Ok Jude what's up"
Jude: "Ah well do you have Chaz or any of the other guys numbers"Kwest: "Chaz and the other guys as in Boyzattack Jude."
Jude: "Yes"
Kwest: "Jude why do you want. No nevermind if I don't know I can't get into trouble"
Jude: "Thanks Kwest. Now I gotta go people to do things to see"
Kwest: "Jude shouldn't that be the other way around"
Jude: "Oh yeah later"
Back with Tommy
Man I can't believe I said Liz. What's wrong with me that I can't get her off of my mind and why does Jude remind me of her. Man I'm seriously losing mt mind.
Ring ring ring ring
Tommy: "Hello"
…….: "Hey T what's up"
Tommy: "What do you want Chaz"
Chaz: "Come on T don't be like that. I just called to see how things are"
Tommy: "Chaz don't give me that bullshit. Now tell me what you want"
Chaz: "T man no need to get your knickers in a knot"
Tommy: "Chaz tell me why you called or else"
Chaz: "Ok ok I just called to say that I might have a lead on the love of you're life. You know the extremely sexy dancer you hooked up with back in the day"
Tommy: "What about her"
Chaz: "I know how to get in contact with her"
Tommy: "Well are you going to give me the details or not Chaz cos I don't have all day, some of us have to work."
"Ok ok T calm down I'll give you her details. You got pen and paper"
Tommy: "Yeah man what's the details"
Chaz: "Ok I've gotten her email address and her user name she uses to talk online. It's and her user name is sexygrl07"
Tommy: "Thanks man I owe you. How'd you get these details anyway?"
Chaz: "Well you know Tanya she was the last girl I danced with on tour and well lets just say we got to know each other all over again and she let it slip that she still talks to Liz"
Tommy: "Chaz man I seriously owe you.
Chaz: "That you do T"
Tommy: "Well gotta go Kwest just walked in so I'll catch ya later"
Chaz: "Ok bye"
Tommy: "Hey where's Jude I thought she was recording today"
Kwest: "Yeah well so did I but D gave her the day off"
Tommy: "You mean to tell me we have no artist to work with"
Kwest: "Yeah it looks that way"
Tommy: "Well then I'm outta here"
With Jude
After speaking to Kwest Jude got in her car and headed home wondering who to contact first.
By the time she had gotten home she decided if anyone knew how to contact the others it would be Chaz, cos he just had to know everyone's business.
Jude walked into her house and noticed that something seemed odd so she grabbed the baseball bat Don gave her and had her cell ready to call 911 (I don't know if that's the emergency number for that country)just in case. When out of nowhere Georgia appeared.
Georgia: "Hey Jude"
Jude: "Georgia you scared the shit out of me"
Georgia: "Well that's a pleasant way to greet a friend."
Jude: "Georgia what do you want"
Georgia: "I told you Jude I'd be in contact after I'd spoken to Darius"
Jude: "Yeah so what do you want."
Georgia: "Well you see D and I have come to an agreement regarding the Boyzattack reunion"
Jude: "Yeah so, What's that got to do with me?"
Georgia: "Well it's a reunion for everyone who toured with Boyzattack so you have to attend." Georgia said oh so sweetly
Jude: "G you're not my boss so therefore you can't tell me what to do" Jude stated getting mad
Georgia: "You're tight Jude but D o the other hand is and he wants you there. It takes place the week before Christmas"
Jude: "Georgia I don't think me being apart of this reunion is a good idea"
Georgia: "Ok come on Jude you gotta put the past behind you and I know for a fact that if you don't do this then D is going to release you from your contact."
Jude: "Look Georgia I really don't care. I'm not doing it. I'd rather leave my past exactly where it is in the past"
Georgia: "Oh now come on Jude you don't mean that. I know you want closure"
Jude: "You're right G I want closure but I can live with out it. I have for the past 4 years so what's a few more. Now if you don't mind leaving as I've got things I need to do"
Georgia: "Oh I'm getting the message loud and clear Jude. All I ask is that you think about what I said ok" With that Georgia leaves.
Jude collapses on the couch thinking about everything that has happened and everything that will happen once the truth is revealed. With all those thoughts turning round in her head she gets a sudden burst of inspiration and grabs her note book and starts writing
How Strong Do You Think I Am (Alexz Johnson) (I don't own the song)
If I don't cry, Do you think I don't feel?If I look away, it doesn't mean I don't see,And just because I want someone when I'm alone,Doesn't mean I'm helpless,That I can't stand on my own.How far can we go before we break?How long can I wait?How strong do you think I am?How much can I take of this?Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?Or the breath at the end of a kiss?How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,You make it harder than it has to be,How strong, how strong do you think I amIt's so hard to tell,What's in your heart,What you keep to yourself,Is tearing me apart,And should I be afraid,To dream about you?And if you feel the same,What you going to do?How far can we go before we break?How long can I wait?How strong do you think I am?How much can I take of this?Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?Or the breath at the end of a kiss?How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,You make it harder than it has to be,How strong, how strong do you think I amIf I move in any closer,If you let go and give yourself away,and if we let this happen to us,Everything will change.How strong do you think I am?How much can I take of this?Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?Or the breath at the end of a kiss?How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,You make it harder than it has to be,How strong, how strong,How strong do you think I am?How much can I take of this?Am I a rock, or a rose, or a fist?Or the breath at the end of a kiss?How deep do you want to go, because I'll go there if I can,You make it harder than it has to be,How strong, how strong, how strong, how strong do you think I am?
After she finishes writing she sets about putting her plan into action and starts calling the relevant people.
