“So what’s the latest on my ex before I bump into her?” Jess asked
“She’s actually calmed down a lot, she passed my class so she can now sit her final exam, and she’s studying for her other exams and avoiding everyone” Bette said
“Is she still hanging with Lindsay?”
“I’m afraid so, but on the bright side their not together” Lisa said
“Wouldn’t be an issue if they were I’d just smash Lindsay’s face in!” Jess admitted
“Now listen here and take this in. I’m serious when you go back to school on Monday you will catch up with all your work and smile and play nice, no fighting!” Bette said
“MONDAY! Your making me go back to school in 2 days time!”
“Yes welcome home” Bette smiled
“MUM?”
“Don’t mum me, I’m not getting involved” Tina laughed getting up
“No no we need to talk about this! I have a broken foot!” Jess said
“If you can sing and play guitar and walk about a stage you can return to school” Bette said
“Can I transfer schools?” Jess asked
“NO!” Lisa answered for them
“Jess what is the big deal? You need to catch up and sort your exams out” Tina said
“The big deal is I’m terrified to come face to face with Carmen, that’s the big deal!”
“Truth is coming out” Bette said sitting down “Look what’s the worst that can happen?”
“She can shout at me!”
“She’s done that for 8 weeks!” Lisa laughed
“5, she hasn’t spoke to me in 3 weeks or responded to any of my messages!” Jess told them
“Do you honestly think I’m not going to have your back?” Lisa asked
“I told her I still want to be friends”
“Is that what you want?” Lisa asked
“No course not I want her back” Jess said “But anyway I need to sleep before we rehearse”
“Your just home and you want to sleep, are you kidding me?” Lisa said
“Lisa she’s been travelling and she’s jetlagged” Tina said
“I’ve been awake 29 hours!” Jess said
“Do you need help?” Bette asked
“No I’m good” Jess said getting up “I can’t wait to get into my own bed!”
A few hours later Amy was round begging to wake Jess up. Bette and Tina would not allow this to happen much to Amy’s dismay.
“Can we wake her?” Amy asked “Oh come on you’ve all seen her I’ve not!”
“Mum please let us wake her!” Lisa asked
“Honey she’s not had a lot of sleep just give her some rest time!” Tina explained
“Yes but she has to be at the house of blues in like an hour!” Lisa said
“I will go and wake her, you two stay here!” Bette said going upstairs
Bette walked into Jess’s pitch black room, She walked over to Jess’s bed and gently shook her.
“Sweetie you need to get up you need to leave soon” Bette said
“Yes okay, I’m awake” Jess said “Mama?”
Jess yawned
“I need a cuddle!” Jess said
Bette smiled lying beside Jess on her bed and allowing Jess to cuddle in.
“I am so tired!” Jess said
“I know sweetie but tonight is your last show then you can rest all day tomorrow before school on Monday”
“Can’t wait” Jess said sarcastically
“Your best friend is down the stairs a bit excited to see you!” Bette smirked
Jess smiled “I might have known!”
Bette got up helping Jess
“What are you wearing and I will iron it?”
“My ripped jeans and black no-regrets t-shirt” Jess said pulling on her Nike hoodie
Jess hobbled down the stairs followed by Bette.
Amy ran hugging Jess knocking her flat on her backside
“Very good Amy, I have a broken foot you idiot!” Jess snapped
“I missed you!” Amy said hugging Jess
Lisa went over helping her sister up “By the way half the school is going to your show tonight!”
“Do we get to meet the summer set?” Amy asked
“Might do” Jess smirked “Depends really”
“Did you give Carmen tickets?” Amy asked
“No Jace did, I’ve not heard from her in 3 weeks” Jess yawned
Bette handed Jess her clothes “Thanks Mama”
Jess got up “I need to go get changed”
30 minutes later Jess returned
“You ready?” Bette asked “I’ll drop you off and then well meet you their later!”
“Ok Lisa and Amy you can come hang out if you want” Jess said
“Hang out with the summer set! I’m there” Amy smirked
