Getting to know my father

Chapter 34

Previously

Georgia: "So it's time to get your act together."

Tommy: "Ok I'll go. Looks like I'll be seeing you soon"

Georgia: "Ok and Tom"

Tommy: "Yes"

Georgia: "Make sure you go and it sticks, cos I won't have a drunk working for me no matter who he is."

Tommy: "Ok G I promise I'll go."

Georgia: "Bye."

Tommy's thoughts: "I can't believe I was black mailed into working for G. now I've got to go to rehab. I guess it will be good for me to sort myself out. All I know it's going to be hard, can I do this? I don't know with Liz by my side I could do anything, now that she's gone I just don't know. All I can say is God help me.

End flashback

Jude: "Wow so it was G who in a way saved Tommy?"

Kwest: "Yep"

Jude: "I bet she did it out of guilt."

Kwest: "What are you saying?"

Jude: "I'm saying that Georgia felt guilty about what happened with the baby, that she thought if she helped Tommy it would ease her guilt."

Kwest: "I never thought about it like that. But given everything that has happened lately it wouldn't surprise me."

Jude: "Kwest"

Kwest: "Yes Jude"

Jude: "Did the public ever find out what happened to Tommy?"

Kwest: "No one besides Nicole, Georgia and I knew the real story. The public assumed that he was surfing from depression. I think it was better for everyone especially T."

Jude: "Why?"

Kwest: "Come on Jude you know his family history."

Jude: "Oh yeah. I kinda forgot about that."

Kwest: "Tom wishes he could forget."

Jude: "What happened to the artist that Tommy was producing?"

Kwest: "I think I'll let Tom answer that."

Jude: "But I don't wanna talk to him."

Kwest: "Jude you gotta talk to him and if he tells you the story it can be a lead in to the serious stuff you have to talk about."

Jude: "Fine. I'll talk to Tommy. Any idea's where he went?"

Kwest: "My guess the pier."

Jude: "Thanks Kwest."

Kwest: "No worries, I'm just glad I could help."

At the Pier

Jude's thoughts: Where the hell is he? I can't see him anywhere. Hold up what's that up ahead. It's got to be him.

Jude: "Tommy"

Tommy's thoughts: I can't believe Jude doesn't want to talk about this. I mean come on it's just not our life's that are gonna be affected but the life's of just about everyone around us. I should've stayed forced her to talk to me. but knowing how stubborn she is, she would've just made life a lot harder than it has it be.

Tommy was pulled from his thoughts by someone calling his name.

Tommy: "Jude is that you?'

Jude: "No shit Sherlock."

Tommy: "What do you want?"

Jude: "I want to talk"

Tommy: "Well I don't"

Jude: "Tommy come on don't be like that."

Tommy: "Like what Jude huh?"

Jude: "Tommy"

Tommy: "No Jude it's not fair why do we have to play by your rules?"

Jude: "It's not like that."

Tommy: "Then tell me what's it like?"

Jude: "I've had a lot to deal with."

Tommy: "Like I haven't? Geez Jude talk about being self centered."

Jude: "You know what this was a bad idea. I'm just gonna go."

Jude went to leave but Tommy grabbed her by the arm.

Tommy: "Not so fast."

Jude: "Tommy let go you're hurting me."

Tommy: "If I let go promise you won't leave?"

Jude: "Ok ok I won't leave."

Tommy: "Ok then let's talk."

Jude: "How about we go somewhere, where no one can hear us?"

Tommy: "Huh?"



Jude: "You never know who's around and the last thing we both need is another story about us."

Tommy: "Ok. Let's go to my place."

Jude: "Ah. I was thinking G Major."

Tommy: "What, oh I get it. It's neural place"

Jude: "Yep. So I'll meet you there in an hour"

Tommy: "Ok."

Jude: "And Tommy I wanna talk about us but I need to work up to it."

Tommy: "Ok. So what do you wanna talk about?"

Jude: "How about the first Instant Star?"

Tommy: "Ok I'll see you at G Major.

Jude: "Ok"

At G Major

D: Kwest whatcha doing here?"

Kwest: "Well Jude's gonna talk to T. So I thought I'll come in and do some work."

D: "Really?"

Kwest: "Yeah D. it's not that unusual for me to do this."

D: "Not you. The fact Jude and T are gonna talk."

Kwest: "I suggested that they talk about something else then work up to the big stuff."

D: "That's actually not a bad idea."

Kwest: "I know"

10 minutes later Jude walks into G Major

Sadie: "Oh joy look who's here."

Jude: "Sadie what's your problem?"

Sadie: "My problem is you."

Jude: "What?"

Sadie: "You heard me. Everything was fine until you showed up."

Jude: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Sadie: It's not good enough that you've got Tommy you just have to have Kwest as well."

Jude: "What?"

Sadie: "You know what I'm talking about."

Jude: "Sade's I have no idea. And Kwest is like a brother to me. I could never date Kwest. That's incest."

Tommy: "What's incest?"

Jude: "Me dating Kwest"

Tommy: "What?"

Jude: "Clam down Tom. I'm not dating him."

Tommy: "Good cos I don't feel like killing my best friend."

Jude: "Quincy who I see has nothing to do with you."

Tommy: "I beg to differ."

Sadie: "So Jude you don't want Kwest?"

Jude: "No I don't I've got enough to worry about at the moment."

Sadie: "Oh."

Jude: "You might wanna speak to Kwest cos he thought he was losing you."

Sadie: "I thought I was losing him to you. Cos of all the time he's been spending with you."

Jude: "Sade's it was never like that. It's just we've gone through so much together then you add that I was MIA for 4 years and I guess we've got a lot to catch up on."

Sadie: "I'm sorry."

Jude: "No Sade's. I'm the one who should be sorry."

Tommy: "Now we've got that out the way can we move on."

Sadie: "Yeah ok, I can take a hint and I better get back to work before D fires me. we all aren't related to him"

Jude: "Come on Sade's that's not my fault I didn't ask to be his daughter."

Sadie: "I know I'm just playing."
