LMPYITP: The Random Passages

'[He] Ain't Done Yet'

            "And he couldn't make it. But he called Nic Cester and thought it better he go in his place."

            Oh yeah. Because that was so much fucking better! He was too fucking quiet if you ask me and way too fucking secretive. He played Blue with that rubbish surprise gig. Telling her summat was about to happen but she'd have to wait like everyone else to find out.

            And do you know how much that cost me? She was so worried about finding out, checking her phone and that to make sure she didn't miss anything. I know it was always at the back of her mind even when we were picking oranges or playing in the sand and she just wouldn't fucking quit.

            "So tell us, Jules." Chris spoke again. "What d'ya make of this Jet reunion? 'Cuz I know they're very near and dear to your heart-"

            "Here we go!" I mused as I put the tea bag in my cup.

            "And I'm sure you have an opinion on it."

            "Course she does!"

            "Of course I do!" She let the smile show in her voice.

            "Now before you start." Chris said. "I may as well go ahead and say this 'cuz comparisons will likely be made-"

            "Oh yes!" She quipped. "Let's bring up the Oasis reunion as well."

            I really didn't want to hear about it. And the way Jules sounded I don't think she did either. But if it were the only way she'd get to talk about her Jet...

            "The thing about Jet is they're doing it for fun." She said. "They don't know what's gonna happen because they're just enjoying the ride. Maybe they'll record something new and tour or maybe they won't. But at least they're happy. At least they can get along and move forward...even if they aren't going anywhere together.

            "That'd never work in Oasis. Noel's said numerous times he won't reform because he doesn't need the money. He's played every stadium they could ever think of and he doesn't think about the fans."

            "He doesn't?" Chris asked.

            "Of course he fuckin' doesn't, ya dickhead!" I shouted at the stereo. "Our Noel doesn't think about anyone but his fuckin' self!"

            "Plus I'm more excited for Nic's solo stuff than I ever was for the High Flying Birds." She revealed.

            The kettle began to hiss and I hurried to turn it off so I wouldn't miss anything.

            "Really?"

            "Yeah. What's great about Nic's is he's got the support of his band. It's not like with Noel where he was waiting to jump on his moment in the sun then slag everyone off when he finally got it. Nic's heart is too big to do something like that."

            "I see." Chris agreed. "Is that why you've taken him up on the offer of being his assistant?"

            My ears perked up at that. "You what?" I said.

            "Yeah." She replied. "I've got nothing holding me back so why shouldn't I?"

            "You've got me!" I screamed. "You've got-"

            "Is that your suitcase over there that you brought in?" Chris asked.

            "Yep. I'm leaving straight from here."

            "What?!"

            "Oh." Chris said. "Well I won't keep you any longer as I'm sure ya need to get off to the airport."

            "Thanks!" She told him.

            "NO!" I screamed. My head was spinning but I had to think quickly.

            She couldn't leave. She couldn't fucking leave.

...

            "NO!" Liam yelled waking me right up. "NO! NO! NO!"

            "Liam!" I exclaimed as I shook him. "Liam!"

            "No!" He screamed again flailing around. "Please no! Don't fuckin'...Blue!"

            His eyes shot open and he squeezed me even tighter.

            "It's okay." I assured him. "Just breathe. It's okay."

            "No it's, no it's not!" He cried. "He fuckin'...he fuckin'...no!" He sobbed even harder as he pushed his head into my chest.

            "Who's he?" I asked. I had a guess and wanted to see if I was right.

            He shook his head. "Just cuddle with me." He replied. "Just cuddle with me, Blue, please. Please!"

            "Okay but you need to relax."

            "I'll relax when we cuddle! Don't you understand?"

            "Yes but-"

            "Just cuddle with me 'til I fall asleep." He continued. "I'll sleep better when we..." He trailed off as his breathing got more even.

            I rubbed his back and held on tight making sure I wouldn't let go.

Author's Note:

            This may or may not be the last update for Jules for a while. That chapter revisit I mentioned is up in the air as of right now but I'm open to requests if anyone's interested. As I said a couple days ago as well as in the Author's Note of Addie's latest chapter, I think I'm going to be taking a break from Jules as Addie's story has a lot coming up. You should see the timeline I wrote out to help me keep track of when everything's going to happen. I think Jules is in a good place for a break right now. I have an idea for her next update I suppose but it's not very good so I think I should table it for the time being. Thanks again for reading!
