Chapter 14
Previously
After she finishes writing she sets about putting her plan into action and starts calling the relevant people.
About 2 hours later Jude had only one more call to make and she wasn't looking forward to it.
Flashback
Liz had just gotten back from her appointment and was over the moon and couldn't wait to tell Tommy.
She walks into the rehearsal space where she sees everyone but Tommy and Sonia the new dancer she had only being with them for a month and Liz didn't have a very good feeling about her. Sonia didn't exactly have the best rep in the business and was regularly being fired for her conduct. Why D had hired her in the first place was beyond her.
At that moment she saw Kwest and heads over
Liz: "Hey Kwest"
Kwest: "Hey Liz what's up?"
Liz: "Just wondering if you've seen Tommy I need to talk to him."
Kwest: "Nah I haven't seen him since last night but he should be here soon."
Liz: "Ok thanks I think I'll just go to my room and wait for him there. If you see him before me tell him where I am I really need to talk to him."
Kwest: "Ok Liz you sure everything's ok"
Liz: "Yeah Kwest things couldn't be better"
Liz heads straight for her room but finds her door locked.
That's funny I never lock my door I wonder what's going on.
Liz knocked on her door thinking that this was weird and all the while wondering who could've locked the door. When she didn't get a response Liz went looking for Georgia as she had keys to everyone's room.
Liz: "Hey Georgia do you know who locked my door?"
Georgia: "Liz hey no I don't but here's the spare key just give it back once you're done ok"
Liz: "Thanks G"
With the key in hand Liz wen to her room when she opened the door she couldn't believe what she was seeing. There laid the man of her dreams naked with Sonia resting on his chest with just a sheet covering them. In that moment Liz felt her whole world came tumbling down and she fell to the ground sobbing.
10 minutes later Liz had managed to pull herself together and set about making her presence known to the sleeping couple by slamming the door. With all the commotion everyone came running to find out what happened.
Tommy sat up right causing the still sleeping girl to fall outta bed revealing her naked body to everyone leaving no doubt about what the two of them where doing. The question on everyone's mind was why Liz's room and how did they get in.
While Tommy tried to explain what happened Kwest guided Liz out the room cos it looked like she was about to pass out.
Kwest: "Liz I think we should get you to the hospital you don't look to well"
Liz: "Kwest I'm fine I just need to sit down until the room stops spinning"
Liz then collapses in to Kwest's arms.
Kwest manages to catch Liz and gets her out to his car without anyone noticing them because they where all still trying to figure out what went on.
When Liz woke up she found herself alone in a room with no idea how she got there or where she was.
Kwest: "You're awake let me get the Doc Liz I'll be right back"
…..: "Hi Miss Taylor. How are you feeling?"
Liz: "Um where am I? What's going on?"
Dr.: "Miss Taylor my name is Dr. Chase you're currently a patient at County Hospital you collapsed earlier and you're friend brought you in"
Liz: "Oh"
Kwest: "Liz are you ok you still look pale is that normal Doc?"
Dr. Chase: "Yes it's normal in her condition"
Kwest: "Condition? What condition what's wrong with her?"
Dr. Chase: "Sir calm down everything is fine the morning sickness will hopefully past within a month or two."
Kwest: "Morning Sickness?"
Dr. Chase: "Yes that's what I said"
Kwest: "But Doc you only get morning sickness if you're. Oh My God Liz you're pregnant?"
Liz: "Kwest could you say it any louder I don't think everyone heard you."
Kwest: "Sorry but you're pregnant."
Liz: "Yeah I know I just found out"
Dr. Chase: "If I may cut in"
Both: "Sure Doc"
Dr. Chase: "Well Miss Taylor you're going to have to take better care of yourself now and make sure that you take the prenatal vitiams that I'm going to prescribed and I recommend you get in contact with you're regular doctor for you're check ups. Miss Taylor you can go home in an hour after you have eaten if you promise me that you'll take it easy and get plenty of rest."
Liz: "Ok thanks Doc"
Dr. Chase: "It's all part of the service I'll be back to check on you before you leave"
Kwest: "Oh My God Liz what are you going to do"
Liz: "What do you think I'm going to do Kwest? I'm keeping the baby"
Kwest: "But what about Tommy?"
Liz: "What about him?"
Kwest: "He has a right to know"
Liz: "He lost that right when he screwed Tanya."
Kwest: "But Liz he's the father"
Liz: "SO what I can and will do this without him and you're not going to tell him Kwest or so help me god"
Kwest: "But Liz"
Liz: "No but's Kwest. Did you or did you not see Tommy lying in MY bed butt naked mind you with his arms wrapped around her."
Kwest: "I know Liz but I also know T and he wouldn't do that to you he loves you"
Liz: "So you're telling me that he accidently tripped and fell into her over and over again. Come on Kwest I'm not dumb. Now if you don't mind I'd like to be left alone."
End Flashback
Jude was pulled out of her day dream by the sound of the microwave going off. Maybe I should tell him. Kwest was right he had a right to know. I'm not going to make the same mistake twice. I need to tell him.
Jude decided against calling Sonia for the moment because she felt inspiration hit her so she grabbed her book and started writing.

Once Jude had finished writing the song, she looked over it and thought why do I always have to write about Tommy. Why can't I just move on with my life and forget about him.
The next morning when Jude arrived at G Major Chaz was there talking to Tommy about the good old days, when he noticed Jude he became quite.
Jude: "Hey guys what's happening we recording today or what"
Tommy: "Yeah Harrison we are but first I'd like you to meet Chaz Blackburn an old friend of mine from back in the day."
Jude: You don't say Quincy. I would never of known if you hadn't of told me"
Tommy: "No need to be like that Jude"
Jude: "Like what Tommy" she asked trying to sound innocent
Tommy rolled his eyes: "You know what I'm talking about"
Jude: Sorry but you do remember that I did travel with Boyzattack so therefore I know the guys"
Chaz: "I thought you looked familiar"
Tommy: "You knew she was on tour with us?"
Chaz: "Ah yeah. I mean look at her how could you not notice her."
Kwest: "Well you see my man T was too wrapped up in Liz to notice anyone else"
Jude shot Kwest a look that said if you continue you will wish you'd never been born
Sadie: "Hey Jude"
Jude: "Sadie what have I told you about saying that?"
Sadie: "Look it's not my fault you where named after a Beatles song"
Jude: "Yeah well it's not mine either"
Tommy: "Ok Sadie did you need something or did you just come to drool over Kwest?"
Sadie: "Hey I resent that and Jude D wants to see you"
Jude: "Ok"
With that Jude and Sadie left the studio
D's Office
Knock knock knock
D: "It's open"
Jude: "Hey D you wanted to see me?"
D: "Ýes. I believe Georgia has being in contact with you?"
Jude sighed"Yes"
D: "I'm sorry Jude I told her to leave you alone considering you have alot going on with the pregnancy and all"
Jude: "Thanks D"
D: "It's ok. I've informed Georgia that if she contacts you again the reunion is off"
Jude: "I really appreciate that D. Can I go back to work now?"
D: "Sure Jude I just wanted you to know I'm sorry about Georgia"
Back in Studio A
Chaz: "Hey T doesn't Jude remind you of anyone"
Tommy: "Chaz what are you talking about?"
Chaz: "Jude she reminds me of Liz. You now that I think of it they could be the same person."
Tommy: "Nah man I know Liz and she has a tattoo on her left wrist and Jude doesn't"
Chaz: "Are you sure?"
Tommy: "Hell yes. After all I was married to her. I think I would know"
Chaz: "Man I was implying are you sure that Jude hasn't got a tattoo and just covered it up."
Tommy: "Look I would know if it was her ok. And I admit that there are similarities between them but that's it."
Kwest's thoughts If you only knew that Jude is in fact Liz and the child she's carrying is yours.
Flashback Tommy's P.O.V.
Liz and Tommy have being dating for about 6 months.
Tommy: "Hey beautiful"
Liz: "Stop it Tommy"
Tommy: "What"
Liz: "You know what"
Tommy: "Oh baby come over here and tell me what's wrong"
Liz goes and sits on Tommy's lap
Tommy: "Baby please tell me. I really want to know"
Liz: "No you will think I'm stupid or childish"
Tommy: "Liz babe listen to me you could never be stupid or childish, now please tell me what's going on?"
Liz: "It's just it's just" Liz breaks down crying
Tommy: "It's just what..."
In walks Chaz, Kwest, D and Georgia
Liz: "Come on you know"
D: "What the hell is going on?"
Tommy jumps up forgetting that Liz was on his lap, causing her to end up on the floor. Liz just stared up at him giving him a death glare.
Tommy: It's not what it looks like D"
D: "So I didn't just see one of the dancers seating on your lap T"
Tommy: "Ah well"
Liz manages to get up off the floor and pulls herself together.
Liz: "Mr. Mills Tommy was just making sure I was alright"
D: "Since when does that include you sitting on his lap Liz"
Tommy: "D come on man do you really think I'd screw everything up over a girl?"
D: "T man I've known you since you where 9"
Tommy: "Yeah so"
D: "So I know you. You don't let anyone get close if they don't mean anything"
Liz: "Mr. Mills I know you think that I'm a native girl but seriously do you think I'm gonna fall for 'Lil Tommy Q'. I mean if only the rest of the world got to see his diva fits"
Tommy: "Hey"
D: "Ok then Liz what the hell is going on?"
Liz: "Well you see. Ah could we discuss this in private?"
D turns around and notices that everyone is hanging off every word that is said.
D: "Ok Liz let's go. The rest of you get back to work"
In D's Office
D: "Well Liz I'm waiting"
Liz: "Well you see Mr. Mills I received some news and it wasn't the best kind of news"
D: "Oh"
Liz: "Anyway I wanted some alone time. I figured that I could dance away any troubles , so I went to the studio."
D: "How does T fit into this?"
Liz: "Well you see the dancing wasn't doing anything so i broke down crying and the next thing I knew Tommy had picked me up and was sitting down with me on his lap telling me everything was going to be alright, then you guys walked in"
D: "Ok Liz I believe you just don't let it happen again ok. Now go relax we've got a show tonight."
Liz: "Yes Mr. Mills. Thankyou for being so understanding"
D: "And Liz call me D. Mr. Mills reminds me of my father."
Liz: "Ok"
With Tommy
Kwest: "Man are you stupid or something"
Tommy: "What are you talking about?"
Kwest: "I'm talking about you and how you can't seem to keep it in your pants"
Tommy: "Kwest come on it wasn't like that"
Kwest: "Oh really. Then tell me T what was it like."
Tommy: "Liz was upset and crying so i gave her a hug that's all there was to it."
Kwest: "Ok T I believe you. You better hope D does too or else, Liz will be fired"
Tommy: "WHAT no way D wouldn't do that"
Kwest: "Come on T. D let people go for bringing him the wrong type of water. Do you really think he's gonna let some girl get in the way of the success that is Boyzattack"
Tommy rolled his eyes "Come con man you know Liz isn't just some girl"
Kwest: Yeah I know that but D doesn't."
Tommy: I guess I should stay of her for awhile then"
Kwest: "Yeah T I think you should if you want her to stay"
Tommy: "Ok then. But Kwest will you do me a favour find out is she's alright. I don't know how to explain it. I mean I've got this feeling that something's wrong"
Kwest looked at T and could see the concern for Liz in his eyes. That's when Kwest realised that Tommy was head over heels in love with her.
Kwest: "Ok T I'll go find Liz and find out what's going on. Now can you do me a favour and lie low for the next couple of days, until things die down. You know that D is on the war path at the moment.Tommy sighed and ran his fingers through his hair: "Yeah you're right I guess. But I'm going to go crazy if I can't be around her."
Kwest: "T man you can be round her, but you can't act all lovely dovey with her. Or you won't be spending anytime with her, cos she won't be around. Now go chill you've got a show to do"
With Liz
After she conversation with D. Liz decided she needed to cool it with Tommy for awhile or else she'd end up losing her job. Was this relationship worth losing her job over. Who was she kidding. Liz had never felt this way, she felt like a little school girl you has her first crush. What on Earth am I going to do I'm head over heels in love with 'Lil Tommy Q'
Liz was pulled from her thoughts by Chaz
Liz: "Ah sorry Chaz did you say something"
Chaz: "Hey I was just wondering if everything is alright. " Chaz noticed that she looked confused about what his was talking about.
Liz: "Chaz do you know something I don't"
Chaz: "No. It's just I don't think this is the right time to be getting on D's bad side with the article and all"
Liz: "What article"
Chaz: "Come on Liz don't play dumb it really doesn't suit you"
Liz: "Chaz I have no idea what article your about."
Chaz took a moment to study Liz, only to discover that she really had no idea about the article.
Chaz: "The article that has D doing damage control"
He is talking about the article that claims that you're Tommy's newest flavour of the week.
A stunned Liz turned around to see Georgia staying in the doorway
Liz: "WHAT"
Georgia: "You heard me they think you're dating 'Lil Tommy Q"
Liz: "Come on G where did they get an idea like that."
Georgia: "Oh I don't know. It might be the fact that you guy are practically doing it on stage every night?"
Liz: "I think I need to lay down for a bit"
Chaz: "Liz are you gonna be ok?"
Liz: "Yeah I guess that it explains why D reacted the way he did"
Georgia: "Yeah well I gotta go check on the others. Let me know if you wanna talk ok Liz?"
Liz: "Yeah G no worries catch ya later"
I really need to talk to Tommy. I don't know what to do maybe he'll know.
