“Why do I always get the short straw?” Jace asked looking at his mother-in-law

“Because I know you listen intently to every word I say” Bette smiled

“Right seriously we need to go now” Lisa smiled

Bette and Tina hugged everyone

“Do you want me to come to the airport with Lisa?” Jess asked

“No you get to sleep please, and please don’t over do it Jess, I worry more about you than anyone else” Bette smiled

“Told you that you were the favourite” Lisa joked

“No not at all, I just know how forgetful and silly Jess can be at times” Bette defended herself

“I love you, don’t let Kelly push you too hard your doing great” Tina smiled hugging Jess “Look after each other”

“Love you too have a nice trip, stay safe” Jess smiled

“Please remember to pick Mason up from school and check his homework”

“Seriously go, your annoying me now, your only gone for 2 weeks, were not complete idiots” Jess smirked pushing them both out the door

Jess sat back on the sofa with Carmen.

“So…”

Jess looked at Carmen and smiled “I’m sorry”

“Your too cute for your own good, what were you doing?”

“Writing and Jess proper has a go at Kelly” Jace explained

“What why?”

“She’s putting too much pressure on me, they all expected me to get Christmas number one and Shay got it, but she doesn’t realise the amount of shit we’ve all had going on in our life… I’m not a robot and neither are the boys, I told her were going back to our band name as a 4 and not Jess and Jaded, it will now just be Jaded…if she doesn’t like it she can drop us” Jess stated

“I feel I’m partly to blame for you not doing as well as you could have” Carmen stated

“I’m not going to say that all the shit that’s went on has nothing to do with it because it has however I’m just as much to blame as anyone, and Mark’s not had an easy few month either so she just needs to let us find out feet again”

“Which we will, once you get over your writers block” Jace stated

“Writers block?”
