Previously

Chaz "T man are with us"

Tommy: "Huh"

Kwest "T are you ok you kinda space on us. Everything alright?"

Tommy: "Yeah I was just thinking that's all. Now can we please get to work"

Tommy's birthday

Tommy woke up alone in his apartment, just like he has being ever since he split with Liz. Man why did that happen? Tommy shook those thoughts from his mind he decided that today wasn't the time a stroll down memory lane.

Ring ring ring ring

Tommy: "Hello"

D: "Hey T I need you down at the studio"

Tommy: "Come on D it's my day off can't it wait?"

D: "T I know it's you're day off but it seems as if someone has erased Jude's album and you know how I am with technology."

Tommy: Ok ok I'll be there but you owe me for this D"

D: "Yeah T I know. Now get you're arse down here"

Tommy sighed and got up put of bed

Tommy's Thoughts: Man I can't even get peace and quite on my birthday.

10 minutes later Tommy arrived at G Major and was greeted by Kwest.

Kwest "Hey man thanks for coming down"

Tommy: "No worries you know me always willing to please."

Kwest "Come on T. I know you use that line on the ladies so don't go using it on me."

Tommy: "Ok ok let's get this over with so I can get back to what I was doing."

…: "Don't you mean who?"

Kwest "Jude what are you doing here?"Jude: "Ah I work here or have you forgotten?"

Tommy: "How could I forget"

Kwest "Jude whatcha want?"

Jude: "D sent me, he wanted to know how long it's gonna take?"

Tommy: "Well you can tell you're master that I just got here and I need to take a look. Now be a good little girl and disappear."

Jude: "Just because you were pulled away from who you where doing doesn't mean you get to take it out on me."

Tommy: "Come on Harrison you know you want me"

Jude: "Look I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole. Never know what kind of diseases I'll get"

Tommy: "Well you weren't saying that the night I got you pregnant. In fact if I remember correctly you were screaming at me to go harder, faster and deeper right before you drifted off into a state of bliss."

With that Jude stormed out of the room.

Kwest "What the hell was that?"

Tommy: "Nothing it doesn't matter."

Kwest "T of course it matters you just stated that you're the father of Liz's baby."

Tommy: "Kwest I didn't get Liz pregnant"

Kwest "I know T I said Jude"

Tommy: "Nah man I heard you say Liz"

Kwest "What ever we better get back to work before D comes in"

With Jude

Jude's Thought's: I can't believe he said that, does he remember that night. Nah he would've said something before hand wouldn't he. Of course he would he's a guy after all.

Speid pulled Jude from her thoughts.

Speid "Hey Jude. Jude I'm sorry. I didn't mean it I swear."

Jude: "It's ok Speid. Now what did you want?"

Speid "We wanted to know what time to be there tonight and if you wanna do sound check with us?"

Jude: "Oh ok you guys need to be there by 6.30 for a 7.00 start as for sound check yeah just give me 10 minutes and I'll meet you guys there ok."

Speid "Ok Jude I'll see you then later."

Jude's Thoughts: Ok now I need to see D and get him to keep everyone away from the venue while the boyz do a sound check.

Jude went to find D but ran into Kwest

Jude: "Hey watch where ya going?"

Kwest "Jude is that you?"

Jude: "Funny Kwest you know very well it's me what's up?"

Kwest "Well I'm trying to keep T busy so that he stays out of everyone's way while they you know."

Jude: "Yeah I know, I'm the mastermind behind it."

Kwest "Really how interesting."

Jude: "Don't even go there ok"

Kwest "Ok can you tell me what was with T saying that he's the father of the baby?"

Jude: "Come on Kwest what do you think it means?"

Kwest "It means that what the tabloids are saying is correct, but the thing I don't get is how the press found out."

Jude: I'll give you a clue, their name starts with a G."

Kwest "What no way Georgia wouldn't do that."

Jude: "Well then how else do you explain how the information was released?"

Kwest "I ah I ah man I can't believe she'd do that."

Jude: "Yeah well why else do you think i wanted to plan T's party?"

Kwest "I don't know. Maybe you still love him."

Jude: "Yeah well that's debatable, but you know G has planned a reunion?"

Kwest "Yeah so?"

Jude: "Well it's going to include everyone who worked and toured with the boyz."

Kwest "Oh."

Jude: "Yeah and I have to do it or else I loose my contract."

Kwest "So you're getting in before she does."

Jude: "Yeah I figure it will be better coming from me then her."

Kwest "But what about the press?"

Jude: "Way ahead of you Kwest I've arranged it so it's two parties 1 with the press and the other just G Major staff."

Kwest "Wow you have thought of everything then."

Jude: "Ah no I don't know how T's gonna react thus why no press."

Kwest "Ok well I better go check on T."

Jude: "Oh ok if y see D ask him to call my cell, i need to talk to him."

Kwest "No worries catch ya later."

Back With Tommy

"Hey Kwest. Kwest" Tommy stops what he is doing "man where did he go?"

Just then Sadie walks in

Sadie: "Hey Quincy have you seen Kwest?"

Tommy: "Nah I mean he was here a minute ago then he kinda disappeared."

Sadie: "Oh ok. See ya."

Tommy: "Hey Sade's when you find him tell him he needs to get his arse back in here and help me."

Tommy's cell starts to ring and he goes in search of it, he finds it in his jacket pocket he answers without looking at the caller id.

Tommy: Hello"

….: "Hello Thomas happy birthday"

Tommy: "Thank you it's nice of you to remember."

……: "Thomas of course I'd remember I'm you're mother after all."

Tommy: "Yeah well you wouldn't know it after the last time we saw each other."

Mrs D: "Yes well that's all in the past Thomas we both said things we regret."

Tommy: "You maybe but me I meant everything I said."

Mrs D: "So what you just going to cut family out of you're life forever Thomas?"

Tommy: "No not everyone just you and dad."

Mrs D: "Now Thomas there's no need to be like that."

Tommy: "Like what mother?"

Mrs D: "You know what I'm talking about. Now I just called to say happy birthday and to hopefully put the past behind us."

Tommy: "Yeah well I've got to go, I've got things to do."

With the Tommy closes his phone and throws it just missing Kwest as he walks in.

Kwest "Hey man wanna watch where ya throwing things."

Tommy looks up and shrugs "Sorry man I didn't see you there."

Kwest "Hey T is everything alright" noticing the change in Tommy's appearance.

Tommy: "Yeah man everything's ok"

Kwest "Then what was with throwing the cell?"

Tommy: "Just a call from the person claiming to be my mother."

Kwest "Sorry man. You wanna talk about it?"Tommy: "What's there to talk about. It's in the past and not worth discussing."

Kwest "Alright man just remember I'm here if you wanna talk."

Tommy: "Since when did you turn into such a girl?"

Kwest "I'm not a girl. I just know what went down had a big impact on you and if ya wanna talk I'll listen. That's all."

Tommy: "Thanks man but we better get this done before D blows his top."

Kwest "Ok then let's get to work."

Meanwhile at rehearsal

Speid"I can't believe we're doing this just for Lord Squinty Frown."

Jude: "Come on Speid I don't have all day you know."

Speid"Ok dude, I mean Jude."

Sound check went ok with only a few minor errors on Jude's part. She couldn't help but think about the reaction Tommy was going to have when he found out the truth. Well only part of the truth.

Jude was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't see or hear the guys from Boyzattack walk in.

Speid tried to pull Jude from her thoughts to tell her but to was no use.

Speid"Dude Jude's totally out of it. Shouldn't we do something?"

Kyle: "I guess but what?"

…"How about you guys step back and watch a pro at work."

Everyone turned to see who was talking.

Karma and Mason were the first ones to recover.

Karma: "You're you're Chaz right?"

Chaz"Yeah that's me."

Mason: "What are you doing here?"

Chaz "Well I was hoping that me and the guys could do a sound check. But it looks like you need my help."

Everyone: "Huh"

Chaz pointed to where Jude was standing.

ChazÍ was refereeing to ah what do you guys call her?"

"Her name's Jude dude' Speid stated snapping out of the trance he was in.

Chaz "Oh really now."

Speid"Yes really."

Chaz"Ok then watch this."

Chaz walked up to her and yelled "Yeah Liz G wants ya."

Jude instantly snapped out of her thoughts.

Jude: "What where you saying Chaz?"

Jude: "Oh my god Chaz you're here."

Chaz "Yeah well after you called I got the guys together and we agreed to help you out girl."

Speid"Yo hold up what's with Liz dude her name is Jude?"

Chaz "Well dude why don't you ask her."

Speid"Well dude?"

Speid and everyone else waited for Jude to answer.

Jude: "Well Vincent. It's not important and besides we have work to do, so fell free to leave."

Mason: "Hold on Jude, what do you mean WE have work to do?"

Jude: "Well Mase I mean the boyz , the dancers and me" Jude whispered the last part hoping no one would hear her.

Mason: "What do you mean by YOU?"

Jude: "Ah well it's a surprise for Tommy ok."

Speid"You're not going to propose are you?"

Jude: "Are you out of you're mind?"

Speid"No it's just you are carrying his child and well that's the next logical step."

Chaz"Well you obviously don't know Liz/Jude and Tommy that well."

Jude: "Chaz"

Chaz"What you know the truth is gonna come out sooner or later, so why not talk about it?"

Jude: "Cos it's not you're life getting turned upside down inside out ok. So back off."

Chaz "Ok ok I get the picture, now can we get on with sound check?"

Jude: "Ok then get your arses up and show me what ya got."

Chaz"Ah well Liz"

Jude: "What is it now Chaz?"

Chaz"You might wanna tell those idiots to leave the stage so we can perform."

Jude: "Hey guys you need to get your arses to G Major now. D said he had something for you guys to do."

Speid"Really I wonder what it is? Come on guys lets go out what he wants."

Jude: "Now that they have gone let's get this show on the road."

There you go the next installment. Let me know what you think
