“I’m sorry I forgot to text you back I was that pre occupied with the toilet if I’m honest” Jess admitted

“I got you a present” Carmen smiled

“Yeah she wanted to cheer you up” Lisa smiled

Carmen handed her a teddy bear. “That’s just for you to cuddle in to” Carmen smiled “And this is because I knew you were counting the days until it was released” Carmen said handing her Kelly Clarkson’s new cd.

“Aww thank you babe, I love you”

“Love you too” Carmen smiled

“Sorry girls, can you just go downstairs for a few minutes till the doctor examines Jess?” Bette asked

“Sure” Lisa smiled “Well go tidy my room”

“Oh thank, I’ve really wanted to do that” Carmen said sarcastically

The two girls left and the doctor examined Jess with Bette and Tina standing at the door.

“She’s just got the flu, I would keep her off school the rest of the week and keep her in bed, she needs plenty of rest and sleep” The doctor smiled

“Thanks doctor” Bette smiled

“No problem feel better soon Jess”

“Thanks” Jess smiled

Bette and Tina lay at either side of Jess

“We love you” Tina smiled “And we would take this away if we could”

“I love you too” Jess smiled “I’d love you more if Carmen could stay tonight in my bed”

Bette and Tina laughed

“Absolutely not” Bette smiled

“But nice try, I liked it” Tina smiled

“Try again when your 18”

“It’s not like were going to have hot passionate sex, I can barely move and besides I’m totally not ready for the whole sex thing” Jess openly admitted, she didn’t really hide much from her parents.

“Well talk about it at a later date” Bette smiled

“Carmen’s parents don’t mind us sleeping in the same bed” Jess explained

“That’s Carmen’s parents were yours” Tina smiled

“Granted her bedroom door needs to remain open at all times” Jess stated

Bette and Tina laughed
A few day later Jess was feeling much better
Jess sat on her bed with her guitar, pen and paper.
“What are you doing?” Lisa asked
“Writing our song for the talent show”
“Oh how exciting, thought you and Carmen were going out?”
“Mum and Mama still won’t let me out the house, still can’t keep food down” Jess sighed
“That’s not so good, have you got much written?”
“A verse and chorus but I need my MacBook so I can record it in which I left in my locker” Jess stated
“Oh wow that’s not like you, that’s your pride and joy” Lisa laughed
“I was too sick to care” Jess smirked
“Driving lessons here we come!” Lisa smiled showing Jess the form
“Yeah I can’t do that” Jess said
“Why?”
“Epilepsy, not allowed, it’s dangerous I could have one of my stupid fits at the wheel” Jess said
“Shit sorry Jess” Lisa apologised
“Don’t be sorry, I’m with you 98% of the time anyway, doesn’t bother me” Jess admitted
“So the talent show you’re totally going to smash it” Lisa smiled
“I hope so we could be doing with the recording time, I’m just glad Miss Braidy let us re-enter after I pulled out”
“You’re her favourite student why wouldn’t she” Lisa smirked
Jace knocked on Jess’s bedroom door.
“Hey babe you okay?” Lisa asked
“Jess we need to talk about the outfits you picked for the talent show”
Jess looked at him “Why?”
“The shirt you choose make me look as if I have boobs bigger than Katie price” Jace said
Jess and Lisa laughed
“Oh shut up!” Lisa laughed
“No I’m serious!” Jace said “I’ll try it on and prove it wait here”
Jace went to the bathroom returning 5 minutes later dressed in the red shirt.
Jess and Lisa both burst into fits of laughter when they seen him.
“Babe I think you look great” Lisa said trying to control her laughter
“Yeah I look like a poof in a skin tight latex thing!”
“Jace sweetie I think you need a bigger shirt” Tina laughed
“Tell Jess that!” Jace said
“What is going on?” Bette asked
“Well Jess picked the outfits for the talent show and well she didn’t take my shoulders into consideration, I have bigger boobs than a stripper and if I breathe 10 buttons will pop!”
“And I might get the wrong impression and ban you from my daughter” Bette said leaving the room causing Tina to laugh
“Relax Jace I’ll get you a bigger shirt” Jess laughed
“Your Mama hates me!” Jace sighed sitting next to Lisa on Jess’s bed
“She doesn’t hate you” Lisa laughed
“Who you kidding she bloody does” Jess laughed
“JESS!” Tina laughed “Jace she has a phobia with males especially ones dating our 16 year old”
“Let’s go get you a new shirt babe” Lisa smirked getting up “Jess where did you get them?”
“I cant remember” Jess admitted “just make sure it’s red”
“Ok”
Lisa and Jace left the room. Jess put her guitar back on the stand and notebook away. “I need to sleep some more” Jess yawned
“You still not feeling good?”
“Better than yesterday but a little tired” Jess admitted
“Get some sleep honey, if you need anything just shout” Tina smiled
“Thanks Mum” Jess yawned going under her covers and cuddling into her pillow.
A few hours later Jess woke to the sound of Lisa on the computer.
“What the hell you doing in here and with all the lights out” Jess snapped
“I didn’t want to wake you Sleeping bitchy!” Lisa smirked
“Sorry” Jess apologised “Did you get a shirt?”
“yep” Lisa smiled “And it fits”
“Well excuse me for not knowing the size of your boyfriend!” Jess said getting out her bed and opening her bedroom window
