4am Jess woke up screaming in a pool of her own sweat. Lisa, Bette and Tina all ran into her room turning on the light. Tina and Bette rushed over to Jess both hugging either end of her.
“It was just a bad dream” Tina soothed
Jess tried to get her breath back “Mama I really need my pain killers, you can’t take them off me”
“Jess they are far too strong for you to be taking the wrong amount”
“But my foot is sore you don’t understand!” Jess cried
“Shhhh well sort it” Tina said
“Lisa go back to sleep were here you have school tomorrow” Bette said
Lisa looked at Bette “I promise you I won’t leave her” Bette reassured
Lisa went into the bathroom getting a cold face cloth and returned giving it to Bette; she then got Jess a fresh tank top from her drawer giving it to Tina before she went back to bed.
It took them both an hour to get Jess to calm down.
“You guys are going to sleep in here with me, yeah?” Jess asked
“If you want us too” Bette said
Jess lay back down on the bed Tina went to get up but Jess pulled her hand
“Where you going?”
“I’m only turning the light of; I’ll be right back I promise”

The next morning Jess was going about getting organised for school. Lisa was doing the same but clearly wasn’t thinking straight. Bette and Tina sat in the kitchen discussing the previous night.
“Well Dr Torres has moved her appointment forward so I’m going to take her at half past 4”
“I’m going to move my schedule around, I think I should be there too” Tina said
Jess came into the kitchen pouring herself a glass of orange juice.
“Jess you have the hospital today at 4.30” Bette said
“What why? I’m okay?” Jess stated
“The follow up from your foot” Tina said thinking fast
“Oh right okay that” Jess said
“What class you in this morning?” Tina asked
“I have double music” Jess said
“Lucky you I have double calculus” Lisa said coming into the kitchen “I can’t find my stupid calculator”
“Use mine, it’s in my locker, you know the combination it would appear” Jess said lifting her bag “Think I’ll walk to school”
“I’ll walk with you” Lisa said
“No its okay, I know the way I’m a big girl” Jess said leaving
Lisa looked at Bette and Tina.
“Don’t even think about telling me she’s fine, she is not fine!” Lisa said
“Were taking her to the doctors at 4.30 today, I just need you to watch her as much as you can in school”
“I have a few people watching her; I filled in Lee, Jace and Carmen” Lisa explained
