“Why is it in every horror movie they always run and hide up the stairs, in the attic or in a wardrobe, what is that all about? You run for the front door” Lisa said
“The fear takes over” Mark said
“Yeah known you it be under the bed you would go” Jace joked making everyone laugh
“Actually… No you’re probably right” Mark agreed “I can’t believe she’s fell asleep”
“She’s sick you idiot” Jace said
“She’s red hot” Carmen said
“Yes we all know how hot you think Jess is” Amy sighed
“No She’s red hot!” Carmen said worried
Lisa got up from beside Jace and walked over to her sister feeling her head. “Wow she is hot, let’s pull her hoodie off and blanket”
“What if she’s nothing underneath the hoodie?” Amy said
“Jess isn’t that stupid” Lisa said
Carmen checked “She has a tank top on”
Carmen and Lisa gently removed Jess’s hoodie and the blanket.
“Lisa turn the heating off” Jace suggested
Lisa did as Jace suggested and then lifted her mobile.
“Hey mama, listen Jess is burning up and I’m not sure what to do so I thought I should ring you We’ve took her hoodie off and turned off the heating…yes okay, see you soon”
“Mum and Mama are on their way home” Lisa told them
“She must be really sick she’s not even budged” Mark said
Jess started coughing and then jumped up making a run for the bathroom, She got to the top of the stairs but it was too late.
“Ewww, absolutely ewww, that’s disgusting” Mark said
“Ok next remark you make I’m possibly going to take you teeth out!” Lee snapped
Carmen and Lisa made their way to the top of the stairs.
“Baby are you okay?” Carmen asked
“I don’t feel so clever at all” Jess sighed
Bette and Tina walked in the door.
“Jess has been sick everywhere” Mark said
Bette and Tina rushed up the stairs.
“Let’s get you back in bed” Bette said helping Carmen take Jess to her bedroom
Bette took the cover of the bed.
“I’m going to go ring the hospital and see what they say” Bette said
Lisa and Tina cleaned the sick.
“Is she okay?” Amy asked
“Not too sure at the minute” Bette said lifting the house phone and going into the kitchen.
Jess cuddled into Carmen. “I’m sorry”
“Baby don’t be so stupid, It’s not your fault you’re sick”
“But it’s your birthday tomorrow and I’m sick and I ruined Halloween” Jess said
“I’m here with you, even if you are sick my Halloween was perfect, and my birthday will be perfect too because I have you”
“You’re cute” Jess said as she fell back asleep
Tina came in taking Jess’s temperature “It’s a bit high”
“Let’s all move up here, that way Jess is in her bed and we can all keep an eye on her” Lisa suggested
“Ok just don’t have the TV too loud, and turn the light off” Tina said
“Doctor Torres says if her temperature gets any higher and if she keeps being sick we’ve to take her straight in” Bette said
“We’re all going to vacate up here so she has company” Lisa smiled
“She looks like she really wants it” Bette smirked looking Jess sound asleep in Carmen’s arms
A few hours later Jess woke up
“Ok why’s my bedroom turned into a hotel” Jess asked
“Everyone was worried” Carmen smiled
“Oh My God it’s like a freezer in here” Jess said
“You were so warm a few hours ago” Lisa laughed throwing Jess’s blanket back on her bed
“How you feeling?” Bette asked peaking in the door
“Cold!”
“That’s better than warm, I’m happy with that” Bette smiled walking over and checking Jess’s temperature “Yeah it’s dropped a bit, okay I don’t want you getting up unless you have too, can you manage that?”
“Yeah” Jess sighed “Mama can I get drink of something other than water?”
“I don’t really think it’s a good idea Jess” Bette said
“Mama, look I haven’t eaten in 3 days, I’m not feeling water please if im sick then it will be worth it” Jess sighed “Please”
“How could you resist her face Mama?” Lisa said “Don’t worry Jess if she says no I’ll sneak you some”
“Ok you can have a little orange juice, but just a little” Bette smiled
“Deal” Jess agreed
“What is this rubbish you’re watching?” Jess asked
“Shooosh, Paranormal activity 4” Lee said
“Ok firstly don’t shoosh me in my bedroom and secondly I don’t have a secondly”
“Jess, Brian and Jess have posted on your facebook babe” Lee said “Kelly told them you were sick”
“Yeah they done a shout out to you too on their website” Jace smiled
“Aww bless them, I love them guys” Jess said cuddling back into Carmen
Bette came in the room with the glass of orange.
“Thank you” Jess said sitting up and taking a drink “Ok wow my throat is so dry”
Bette handed Jess her medication
“I forgot all about them”
“I didn’t” Bette smiled
“Where’s Mum?” Jess asked
“Im right here” Tina smiled from the door
“Hi” Jess smiled “I was just wondering where you were”
“Were just about to go to bed” Bette said
“What time is it?” Jess asked
“Half past 12”
“Wow really?” Jace asked
“It’s bed time” Jess said
“All you’ve done all night is sleep” Mark said
“I’m sick, it’s allowed, Why am I even explaining myself to you”
“Babe ignore him” Carmen smiled
“I can’t he’s that annoying” Jess smirked at Mark
“And your so…”
“WATCH IT!” Lisa snapped at Mark
Mark shut up and went back to watching the film
“Goodnight guys” Bette laughed leaving the room “Jace my bedroom is right next door, just thought I’d tell you”
“Thanks Bette” Jace smirked “I’m well aware of that”
“Good I’m glad” Bette smiled leaving
“Will she ever give me a break” Jace laughed
“No mate absolutely not” Jess stated
A few hours later…
“Jess…Jess are you okay?” Carmen panic’d
“What’s wrong?” Lisa said sleepily
“Jess is struggling to breath” Carmen said pulling Jess up so she was raised up
Lisa jumped over Jace and ran to Bette and Tina’s room
Bette took one look at Jess
“She needs to go to the hospital” Bette said leaving the room
“I’m fine” Jess managed to get out
“Like hell you are!” Carmen said “Stop being ridiculous”
“You’re absolutely red hot Jess, your temperature is sky high” Tina said
Bette came back “Ok Jace and Lee lift her to the car”
“I object!” Jess snapped
“Over ruled” Lee smirked lifting Jess
“Ok guys you all stay here get some sleep she’ll be fine” Tina said
“That’s a joke right?” Lisa said “Mum that’s my sister”
“My girlfriend” Carmen said
“Guys you’re only going to be sitting about a waiting room, Jess is okay we just need to get her checked over” Tina said “If it’s anything worse I will come back and get you”
“Mum I’m clearly not going to be able to sleep” Lisa argued
“Lisa its 4am”
“Lisa quit arguing the longer you delay us the longer Jess waits to get help is that what you want?” Bette snapped losing her patience
Bette and Tina left.
“Ok let’s get dressed well walk!” Lisa snapped
“Lis your mama will freak” Jace said trying to reason with Lisa who was already in her own room pulling out clothes “Let’s hang off If its serious then your mum said shell come back”
“And you believe her?” Lisa snapped
“Yes I do actually. They appreciate the fact how much you care so I don’t think they would leave it”
“I can’t just sit here and do nothing” Lisa argued
“Do you think Carmen is satisfied sitting here doing nothing, It’s her birthday and her girlfriend is sick and on route to the hospital” Jace said
“She’s my sister!” Lisa said
Jace pulled Lisa in his arms “Look she means a lot to us all”
