A/N: Hey yall. Well, I deleted my Degrassi story. Not because I got 1 bad review, but because it wasn't working for me. I dreaded opening it up every day and writing to it, So i just deleted it. And of course now I'm back with a brand new story, Instant Star, (of course) and all the Jommy cuteness... hmm..hope you all like it? Tell me if I need my chapters longer or if it doesnt make sense because I dont wanna disappoint you guys and delete this one too!
Chapter 1-
You don't know me at all
don't try me today
I'm not your air
and you don't need me to live
I am the one you used
I am the one you tore apart
but you can't see that
cause you thought I was
Emotionless
Did you fear the truth
or did you fear me?
Did you try to hide
so you wouldnt have to know me
It's all over now
It's all over now...
Watch me burn
watch me burn
isn't it a nice sight?
Watch me run
watch me run
I'm leaving here tonight...
"It's done. Come on out" Tommy said over the intercom. Jude laughed and exited, joining Tommy in the soundboard.
"Pretty good, huh?" Jude was bouncing up and down
"Amazing"
"Aw that's what you always say"
"Do I ever lie?" Tommy asked. There was a voice coming from the door behind them.
"Jude, We've packed your things..." Sadie said. "Hello Tom"
"Hey.." Tommy replied. He looked over at Jude, wondering why her things were packed.
"Oh...alright I'll be home soon" Jude said. Sadie walked back out the door and left G-Major.
"What was that about?" Tommy asked. Jude looked down at her shoes.
"Well I'm 18 now Tommy. I graduated high school..right?"
"Yeah...now we can make your 3rd album..." Tommy said
"No..we can't"
"Why not!"
"Because I have to go to college now!" Jude blurted. Tommy sat back in his chair.
"So...College? And you're giving up the studio, your music, your LIFE?"
"I'm going to Berklee.."
"The music college in the states?"
"Yeah..that's the one"
"You don't NEED that, Jude, You have it all right here"
"Yeah, but what if Darius fires me? What am I going to do then?"
"I'm sure another studio will take you in, you're amazing"
"But they will even more if I have a degree" Jude stood up and walked towards the door. "See you tomorrow, Quincy"
Jude left the building and made her way home. Sure enough, she found mounds of things by the doorway and covering the stairs. I'm not going forever! Why did they pack everything! Jude found the kitchen and sat at the table. Sadie was sitting at the front end of the table. Victoria was at the kitchen counter.
"Why can't you just go to a college here Jude?" Victoria asked "It's closer..."
"Berklee is where I need to be Mom" Jude said "Sadie goes to college in the next city over, so why can't I go to college in the next country over?"
"Fine, but I'm gonna miss you" Victoria scooped Jude up in her arms and held Jude's head against her shoulder. Jude pushed her away lightly.
"Mom..." Jude began "I leave tomorrow night"
Victoria nodded and watched as Jude left the kitchen and made her way back upstairs. Her room was almost empty. She'd never seen it quite so..spacey. She flopped herself on the bed and took out her songbook. She scribbled a few words and put it away. She then walked to her window and stared out of it. From here she could clearly see Jamie's bedroom window. She felt herself trembling with fear. She was so scared about leaving home. What if the school doesn't like her music? What if her friends had completely lost touch with her? Or worst of all, what if Tommy forgot everything about her?
She pushed these thoughts out of her mind and allowed herself to fall into a deep sleep.
"Tommy..." Jude greeted.
"yes?" He replied.
"It's been a while"
"It has...Where do I remember you from?"
"Tommy! It's me! Jude!"
"Jude? Who...?"
"Tommy! Come on! Your artist! You were my producer...and..."
"I don't know you"
"Yes you do!" Jude pleaded. She began to run toward him but he turned and walked away. She stared in wonder at him. He forgot her.
Jude forced herself awake. She wiped the sweat from her forehead. The room was dark now and Jude could see out her window that it was dark out. She missed dinner once again. Sadie was fast asleep in her bed, as was Victoria. Jude eyed her cell phone. It lay idle on her dresser, the battery having only 2 lines left. Jude flipped it open and searched through her contacts. Her eyes fell upon Tommy's name and she hit "send".
"mfh...Hello?" Tommy's muffled voice answered.
"Hey..." Jude said
"Jude it's..." Tommy paused to look at his clock "12:30 in the morning"
"Yeah...Sorry"
"Did you need somethin?" Tommy was beginning to fully wake now.
"Uh..I was just wondering if we could go out?"
"Out where? Jude everything is closed"
"Out to someplace away from people"
"Why?"
"Because I'm leaving tomorrow and we haven't talked in a long time"
"Fine. I'll be there in a minute." Tommy hung up the phone. Jude smiled. She got out of her bed and slipped on her shoes, seeing as how she was already dressed from falling asleep earlier. She walked outside as quietly as she could. It was freezing out here, so she bundled herself up inside her hoodie. Tommy drove up not long after.
"Why were you just sitting there? It's cold!" Tommy exclaimed.
"I didn't wanna wait inside incase I woke them up" Jude replied. She placed her hand in front of the car heater. Tommy laughed at this.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked
"Just..somewhere"
Tommy drove her to the docks. It was beautiful at night. The moonlight hitting the water perfectly, with the sound of the waves crashing against the pillars beneath them. Jude sat at the edge of the dock and hung her legs over. It was still cold but she didn't care, the view was too pretty. Tommy took a seat beside her. They sat in silence for a while, and Jude felt akward. Finally, she broke the silence.
"I can't believe I'm leaving...tonight"
"Tonight..." Tommy mimicked "You're sure you want this?"
"I'm sure I need it" Jude said "And I'm sure that I need to get away from this for a while"
"You know, getting away could mean a few weeks...and you'll be gone for four years!"
"Not 4 years straight! I'm coming back during vaca's and whatnot"
"You better" Tommy smirked. Jude laughed under her breath and stared at the water beneath her. The wind carried her hair and made it dance. Jude leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder. He wrapped a comforting arm around her. She sighed.
"And when I come back to visit...you have to promise you'll remember me"
"You're so..." Tommy couldn't finish his sentence. "I'm not gonna forget you"
"That's what you say now"
"Oh, yeah, I'm gonna forget about the person with the most amazing voice in the world"
"It's gonna be so hard..leaving the music"
"You'll be with the music" Tommy reminded her.
"Yeah but you're my music" Jude said. Tommy looked at her, waiting for her to explain. "You are! Without you, my music is such...crap!"
"Don't even say that! Your music is never crap. Sometimes it needs work but..nothin' good ol' Tommy can't fix" He joked
"Oh stop!" She playfully hit him. He went to push her back but she dodged it, falling straight into the cold water. He laughed as her head poked out of the water.
"You alright?" He asked
"Oh my god, it's cold!" She yelled. Tommy laughed. She tried to splash him from the water but he was to high up. Figuring he should be fair, he threw his jacket aside, took a brave breath and jumped in with her. She laughed as water splashed onto her. They had a splashing fight. After a while of this, Tommy swam up to her and took her in his arms. They floated there, and they both felt like they were flying. Jude was smiling uncontrollably and laughing as water was dripping from Tommy's hair to his nose. He looked into her eyes and started to lean in.
"We should get out, it's getting really cold" Jude said before he kissed her. He put on a fake smile and agreed. They swam over to the ramp. They climbed back onto the dock and shook themselves off. Both of them were shivering. Tommy handed her his dry jacket and she took it gratefully.
"So you won't catch cold" He assured
"But what about you? Now you're going to" She said
"I'm not the one who's goin to college tomorrow" Tommy replied. Jude nodded and walked into Tommy's car. Tommy didn't care if his car seats were wet right now, he was just happy that they spent this time together.
He pulled up to the Harrison house and parked in the driveway. It was 2:12 AM now. She took in one last sniff of Tommy's car.
"I'll stop by the studio later" Jude said "To say goodbye..and stuff"
"I was hoping you'd say that"
"Haha, on second thought.."
"Don't you dare"
Jude began to take off Tommy's jacket, but he stopped her.
"Keep it" He said
"But.."
"Take it to college with you"
"Why?"
"Just so you're never cold I guess"
"Thanks" Jude smiled. "See you later" She gave him a warm hug and walked slowly inside her house. He made sure she got in okay and drove off.
Jude got little sleep last night. He almost kissed me...he was seriously going to put that on me before I left! She kept repeating in her head. The sun had long risen, but she didn't want to drag herself out of bed. The faster she got out of bed, the sooner she would be in college. She was content right where she was. Her peace was interrupted by, of course, none other than Sadie.
"Jude, wake up"
"Sadie..I'm up" Jude replied
"Well get out of bed, mom would like to spend time with you before you flee the country"
"Yea yea" Jude grunted and got out of bed.
After spending a few hours with Mom and Sadie, Jude decided it was time to go say goodbye to Tommy. Her plane leaves in 2 hours and it would take at least a half hour to say her goodbyes in the studio. Sadie drove her over to G-Major. Jude ran out of the car and into the building. Darius was the first person she saw, and she instantly took him in her arms.
"Hey..no waterworks, aiight?" Darius said, patting her back. She forced away her tears and looked at him. "We're gonna miss you here Jude"
"Haha, I'm gonna miss you guys like crazy" Jude laughed.
"Good to hear. We'll give you another contract for sure when you get back here"
"Really?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Because my deals over this year anyway"
"You're my star" Darius said. Jude laughed. "Go see Tom."
"Will do" Jude saluted Darius and found her way to the studio Tom was in. He was currently working with Mason. He stopped recording and walked over to her. Mason followed.
"I don't have much time.." Jude said, staring at her watch.
"Well, bye Jude. You better call..or somethin" Mason hugged Jude and left her alone with Tommy.
"You're finally leaving" Tommy said
"Yeah I am" Jude confirmed "I'm so excited!"
"You'll do great"
"Thanks..I'm gonna call..all the time"
"Oh, Wonderful"
"You know you want me to!"
"And you know I'm kidding"
"I have to go..." Jude said "Don't forget me"
"Never" Tommy thought that forgetting Jude was ridiculous, but it obviously meant alot to Jude so he went along with it. "See you soon"
"Goodb---"
"Don't say goodbye" Tommy cut her off. She caught on and changed her words.
"See you Quincy" Jude squeezed him tight and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She let a single tear stain her porcelain cheeks. He smiled weakly and wiped it away. Without saying anymore, she walked out of the studio and back into Sadie's bug.
Jude got onto her plane and found her seat. It was cozy, right by the window and everything. A few moments later, a guy who looked to be about 20 came and sat next to her. She looked up at him.
"Hey," She greeted, "I'm Jude"
"Jude Harrison! I knew you looked familiar. I'm Vince"
"Nice to meet you" Jude said. Vince ran his fingers through his wavy blond hair. His eyes were a pure green, which reminded Jude of sitting at the docks with Tommy.
"I've always liked your music. It's awesome" Vince complimented
"Thanks. Where you headed?" Jude asked
"Berklee. Off to college"
"Oh, me too!"
"Cool, maybe we could become friends"
Jude smirked. She had made a friend from school without even being at the school yet!
"Maybe" She replied. "we just might"
