Lisa sat next to her sister, Jess was looking out the window on the plane, Mason was asleep next to them.
”You okay?” Lisa asked ”I know I keep asking I’m sorry”
”I feel betrayed and it hurts a lot” Jess admitted
”You know she love you, and you know deep down she never meant for all this”
”Yep but doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt”
”I know” Lisa sighed
Jess leaned her head on Lisa’s shoulder

Andrew knocked on Carmen’s door
”Carmen, you okay?”
Andrew quietly opened the door
Carmen was lying on her bed cuddled up to the bear Jess got her sound asleep.
Andrew removed the bottle of vodka from her dresser and cover Carmen up before leaving the room.

Bette and Tina drove into the drive minutes apart.
”A week with no kids, what will we do?” Tina sighed
”I know what I plan to do” Bette smiled opening the door
”Oh yeah what?” Tina smiled closing the door behind her
”Spend as much time as I can with my beautiful wife” Bette smiled ”Catch up on shitty paperwork”
”Worry constantly about Jess and Carmen”
”Yep that too” Bette agreed ”I can’t help it”
”I know baby, me too but they need to sort this out themselves, and you have a week off to chill out and relax before exam time, we all know how temperamental you can be then” Tina smirked
”I am not temperamental” Bette walked into the kitchen switching on the kettle
”Sure you’re not” Tina laughed ”I can recall out daughter getting detention for being 1 minute late”
”Oh here we go with that story” Bette said
”Baby I’m messing” Tina wrapped her arms around her wife’s waist and kissed her softly ”I love you”
”Love you too”
”I’m just going to check my emails, drink my tea then we can go to bed okay?”
”Ok” Bette smiled
Tina left the kitchen going into the lounge and turning on her laptop.

The next day
Tina sat at her desk reading the paper.
”Tina have you seen MTV’s new story?” jay asked
”No what’s up?”
”JESS KENNARD PORTER SINGLE AGAIN?” Jay read out the headline
Tina got up rushing round and taking his iPad from him reading the story.
”Thanks Jay” Tina said ushering him out her office as she walked over to her phone calling Bette
She explained everything.
”So because she doesn’t have her ring on she’s automatically single? What is it with the media? I don’t know how you can work in it they twist absolutely everything”
”Shall I phone Jess?” Tina asked
”No just leave her to have a nice week”

”Babe have you and Jess broke up?” Declan asked
”Why would you ask that?” Andrew cut in
”MTV News said Jess arrived in Orlando without her engagement ring on her finger” Declan explained
Carmen threw her coffee in the bin walking back out the room.
”Good one, see that, keep it shut” Andrew snapped pointing to his mouth
”I was only saying”
”It’s got nothing to do with you” Andrew sat at his desk
”She okay?” Kenzie asked concerned
”No she’s not, and she won’t talk about it either” Andrew started to work through the paperwork on his desk
”Let me try” Kenzie got up and went to the girls locker room. Carmen was sitting on the bench with her phone reading the article.

”What’s going on?” Kenzie asked
”I’m an arse” Carmen explained ”Simple as”
”You need to give me more than that hun” Kenzie sat down beside her
Carmen explained everything
”So Jess has ran to Orlando” Carmen explained
”Oh”
”Yep” Carmen sighed ”I don’t know what to do”
”Give Jess all the time she needs to calm down” Kenzie suggested
”I don’t have a choice in that one, she hasn’t took her phone” Carmen stated wiping her tears
”Look go wash your face and pull yourself together your better than this, people make mistakes, it’s what you do after them that make the difference” Kenzie said
