“What do you mean she’s going away for 7 days?” Carmen said sitting her keys down
“That’s all she said”
“Where is she going?” Carmen asked lifting her keys back up “I need to speak to her”
Andrew grabbed Carmen’s arm “Babe seriously you can’t force her to talk, let her breath”
“I just want to speak to her for two seconds that’s it, then I’ll back off” Carmen looked at Andrew “Andrew she’s everything to me”
“I know that Carmen but you need to take into account how Jess is feeling, she has to sing with him tonight at his launch party and pretend they’re best friends”
“What do you propose I do? I can’t lose her! I barely survived the last time” Carmen let herself slide down the wall as she pulled her knees up to her face.
Andrew kneeled down pulling his friend into his arms.
“I need to talk to her” Carmen said
“I can’t let you, I’m sorry, you’ll thank me for this” Andrew locked the door and took Carmen’s keys “Your personal life will end up all over the papers, is that what you want?”
“No” Carmen admitted
Andrew helped Carmen up
“Go get a bath and calm yourself down, this will blew over just give Jess sometime”
Carmen walked up the stairs and sat on the edge of her bed she lifted her phone and dialled Jess’s number, she wasn’t surprised when it went straight to voicemail.
”It’s me…I know your pissed at me right now and you deserve to be, I’m an idiot I should have told you about him I’m sorry, Jess I love you so much I can’t lose you over this, please can you just call me back.”
Jess got through the performance and quickly left the venue, they all got packed and ready to leave.
”Remember don’t let him out your sight, he likes to wander” Bette warned them referring to Mason
”Mama chill out were not stupid” Lisa stated
”Call me the minute you land” Tina said
”Yes I know you’ve said that eight times now Mum” Jess sighed
”Will you hurry up already?” Mason shouted from Bette’s car
”Erm don’t see you putting any bags in the car, I’m glad your comfy can we get you anything?” Jess snapped
”A donut perhaps?” Lisa added
Jace laughed lifting the last of the bags
Tina got into her car and Bette got into her’s.
”I’ll go with Mum” Jess said
”Ok I’ll go with Mama” Lisa smiled
