Bette and Tina spotted the girls and parked the car. Bette phoned Miley and told her they found Jess before herself and Tina walked over to them.

“Ashley my Dad is disgusted in me for liking girls…Im getting abuse in school for liking girls I don’t know what else to do I don’t want you going through all the crap” Jess said as tears streamed down her face.

“Jess did you miss the fact that my parents are gay! And as for the abuse in school who cares they are idiots! Do me and Kaitlin judge you No, Does any of or other friends, No and quite frankly your dad is an ass” Ashley said oblivious to the fact Bette and Tina were there.

“Well my dad happens to be all I have…I don’t know where my mum is so im screwed there Ash”

“Why is your wrist bleeding?” Ashley asked

“Nothing”

“Don’t lie to me Jess what did you do?”

“I got angry and decided the world sucked but I couldn’t go the whole way” Jess admitted

“What stopped you?” Ashley asked bluntly

“You” Jess said truthfully looking at the ground.

“Well why you shutting me out then” Ashley asked

Jess just shrugged her shoulders. Bette and Tina were extremely proud at how mature Ashley was being.

Ashley walked closer to Jess.

“Jess I can’t help if I don’t know what’s going on and running away isn’t the answer”

“I don’t know what else to do. I only have my dad” Jess admitted

“You have me and Kaitlin. And im pretty sure my Mum and Mama are there if you need them and Miley and Lisa oh and Malaci. Basically all my family” Ashley said as she pulled Jess into her arms.

Bette was happy at how Ashley was handling the situation so she pointed to her wrist signalling for Ashley to bring it up.

“About your wrist can you at least let my mum have a look at it?” Ashley asked

Jess just nodded.

Tina walked over and lifted up Jess’s sleeve.

“Sweetheart that needs a few stitches. How about I take you to the hospital and I’ll personally sort it for you” Tina said smiling
