Tina, Lisa and Carmen walked into Jess’s room, Jess was still sleeping and Dr Torres was talking to Bette.
“Dr Torres this is Lisa, Jess’s sister and Carmen her girlfriend” Bette said
“Nice to meet you, Happy birthday to you” Dr Torres smiled
“Yeah thanks” Carmen said
“Jess is upset I admitted her on your birthday” Dr Torres laughed
“Yeah just ignore her, she struggles when she doesn’t get her own way” Carmen said going over and sitting next to Jess
“I’ll leave you guys too it” Dr Torres smiled
“How long she been sleeping?” Lisa asked
“A few hours, she needed it though” Bette sighed “Happy Birthday Carmen”
“Thanks” Carmen smiled
“She’s not even opened any of her presents” Lisa laughed
“Not important at the minute, they’re not going to run away” Carmen explained
3 hours later, Jess was still asleep.
“Jez even when she’s sick she’s still selfish! I’m bored and she’s still sleeping” Lisa moaned
“She’s clearly tired” Carmen smiled looking over at her girlfriend
“Were the ones who’s had no sleep because of her” Lisa smirked “Not that I regret it or anything because well I love her and I’m glad she’s okay”
“Lisa do you hear yourself?” Jess asked with her eye’s still closed
“Yes why?” Lisa smiled getting up at walking over to Jess
“If you didn’t look like me I’d deny all knowledge of being your sister”
“Hey you love being my sister, don’t deny it” Lisa smiled “You okay?”
“I’m good” Jess said opening her eyes for the first time and yawning
“How you feeling sleepy head?” Bette smiled
“I’m okay, I feel great, do you think she’ll let me go home?” Jess lied
Bette and Tina laughed
“No honey I think she might when you start eating” Tina smiled
“I’m not eating the rubbish in here!” Jess stated

“OH EM GEEEE! ALWAYS MOANING!” Brian said peaking his head through Jess’s room door
“Oh my god as if you’re here!” Jess smiled as the summer set walked into her room all hugging her and handing her flowers and a card.
“So we get this call from Kelly saying you’re sick and deflated and we thought what the hell let’s go tell her to stop being a diva and get back in the studio!” Josh smirked
“And we missed you!” Jess smiled
“Yeah Jess was missing the mini Jess” Brian smiled “DOUBLE J!”
“Your Doctor is hot!!!” John said
“Ok so who is this person, we know everyone else!” Brian asked
“This is my girlfriend Carmen” Jess smiled
“Oh domestic over, thank god for that!!!” Josh said
“8 week on tour and all we heard about was you and how much she loved you and how much of a bitch you were being” Steven said
“DUDE! SHUT UP!” Jess snapped
“I’m glad you sorted things, she loves you” Jess said to Carmen “And I hear you’re a fan of me so that is enough for me to like you” Jess winked
“I’m glad you approve” Carmen said looking at Jess and then her own Jess
“As if the summer set all came to visit you!” Lisa laughed
“Paparazzi outside by the way!” Brian told them
An hour later
“Ok Jess we need to go, your doctor looks like she’s about to throttle us, we said we’d only be ten minute were in L.A for a week so well catch up with you when you get home!” Brian said
“I’ll pop by and see you tomorrow” Jess said hugging the other Jess “Carmen it was great to finally meet you, look after this one”
“I will” Carmen smiled
The summer set left and Lisa looked at Jess.
“Jesus they are loud!” Lisa said
“Try living with them for 8 weeks, me and Jess use to hide from them all” Jess said
“My head is sore” Bette laughed
”Snap” Tina said “Jess you having a fan club don’t work for me”
Dr Torres walked into Jess’s room.
“Any more band visits?”
“I didn’t even know about that one” Jess smiled
“So do you feel like eating?” Dr Torres asked
“Not in particular but if it means I can get home then I’ll try”
“What would you like?” Tina asked
“Grapes!” Jess smiled
“Are you being serious?” Dr Torres laughed “You haven’t eaten in days and you want grapes?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Jess asked
“Not a thing” Dr Torres said lifting Jess’s chart “Well I’m going home I’ll see you tomorrow”
“Wow hold it, you just said if I eat I can go home!”
“Yes not today Jess but I like your enthusiasm” Dr Torres smiled “See you tomorrow!”
Dr Torres left the room
“Yeah I don’t like her!” Jess snapped
“So grapes?” Bette asked
“Lost my appetite!” Jess stated making them all laugh
“Stop being a big grumpy bear and it’s your girlfriend’s birthday and you haven’t even said happy birthday!” Lisa said
“I’m well aware of that fact Lisa thanks for the update anything else you would like to remind me off?” Jess asked
“Ok then” Lisa smirked
“Let’s go get your sister some food Lisa” Bette smiled
“I’m hungry too, let’s go get me some food” Lisa said getting up and following Bette and Tina out the room.
Jess looked at Carmen who smiled at her girlfriend shaking her head. “
So I’m totally the worst girlfriend ever today, I’m sorry I’m stuck in here on your birthday” Jess said
Carmen took Jess’s hand and kissed it. “Don’t be silly, it’s not your fault”
“We’ll do something special when I get better, I promise” Jess said
“Just focus on getting better first baby” Carmen sighed sitting beside Jess on her bed
“I love you, and I’m sorry I’ve been sick practically every day since we got back together” Jess apologised again
“I’m sorry it took you to get sick before I stopped being stubborn and admitted how much I loved you”
“It’s extremely hard not to love me” Jess smiled
“You’re so full of yourself” Carmen laughed
“Yes but on the bright side you have a super-hot girlfriend” Jess said
“That’s so full of herself” Carmen repeated
“No in all seriousness, I love you so much babe and I will make sure you have the best birthday ever, just slightly delayed” Jess smiled
Carmen leaned down kissing Jess softly “Just get better”
“Aww how cute!” Lisa said sarcastically
“Your existence hurts me at times” Jess said back
“Ouch I am totally hurt by that” Lisa said pretending to be hurt “Mum did you hear that!”
“She has a point” Tina joked
“Wow is this pick on Lisa day?”
“Such a change from it being pick on Mama day” Bette said sitting down
“What you eating?” Jess asked
“Chocolate” Bette smiled
“I want some” Jess said holding out her hand
“I told you she would want mine” Bette laughed
“I always choose one she doesn’t like” Tina admitted
Lisa handed Carmen a bar of chocolate and juice. Then handed Jess water and grapes.
“I don’t want water I’ll take my grapes though” Jess said “I’ll share Mum’s juice”
“Weren’t clever there T” Bette smirked
They all stayed there throughout the day keep Jess company, it was arranged that one person could stay with Jess after all agreeing and Jess demanding they settled on Carmen staying.
“So you can go home today, I’m happy” Dr Torres smiled
“Only took you 3 days” Jess said sarcastically
“Listen rockstar, popstar whatever you want be called, in here I make the rules” Dr Torres laughed
“Don’t I know it, and admit it you’ve loved having me, I’ve brightened up your day everyday” Jess smiled
Bette and Tina laughed
“Is she always like this?”
“Yes pretty much” Tina laughed
“Take it easy, and I want a singed copy of that album” Dr Torres winked
“I’ll deliver it myself, thanks for everything” Jess said hugging the doctor
“Now just to warn you, you have a few visitors at home” Bette smiled
“Like?”
“Amy, Mark, Jace, Lee” Tina said
“Oh brilliant I wanted to cuddle up on the sofa and watch TV with Carmen, that was my plan”
“Well you can always escape to your bedroom and do that” Bette suggested knowing Jess wasn’t up to a question and answer session
“Why does everyone always come to ours, I love my friends but I need some quiet time” Jess said “They have seen me every day this week, I’m clearly fine”
“They just care sweetie” Bette laughed “I’ve had all the teachers harass me asking how you are”
Jess’s phone made a noise.
I know you don’t want to be around everyone, get your Mum and Mama to drop you off at mine! X
“Carmen said I can go to hers, god my girlfriend is good, she knows me well”
“No absolutely not, you’re just out of hospital Jess” Bette said
“And what do you think I’m going to be doing? Running up and down the stairs, jumping on a trampoline?” Jess asked “Mama I can’t be bothered with all the loudness in our house and most importantly I can’t be annoyed with people in general!”
“Then I will tell you sister to tell them to come back when you’re feeling up to it, Carmen can come stay at ours tonight?”
“In my bed?” Jess asked
“Deal” Bette agreed
“Baby are you feeling okay? Do you want to go back in and see a doctor” Tina said seriously
Jess laughed
“What? It’s Jess not Lisa, I can sleep and not worry I’m okay with that” Bette smiled
“Oh okay, so how do you explain to Lisa that Jess’s girlfriend can sleep in her room yet Jace can’t sleep in hers?” Tina asked
“Jace has a penis that to me is a lethal weapon”
“On second thoughts have that conversation on your own with Lisa I don’t want to be a part of that” Tina laughed
“Look bottom line is I’m not comfortable with Jess staying out the house when she’s just out of hospital so if I have to compromise then I will” Bette said
“But you never compromise you’re a yes or no person” Jess said
“I can change my mind and keep you at home without Carmen?” Bette said
“As you said Mama I’m sick and recovering and you love me” Jess smiled getting in the car “Wow that walk was never ending”
Tina handed Jess a bottle of water.
Jess, Bette and Tina walked into the house.
“Why did you make me send everyone away?” Lisa asked
“I can’t be bothered with anyone I just want to chill and relax” Jess said “Where’s Jace?”
“At home I sent everyone away” Lisa said
“I didn’t mean Jace, in all honestly I couldn’t be doing with Mark, he’s loud, arsey and in my face”
“JESS!!” Lisa snapped
Jess closed her eyes and held her head.
“Ok Lisa you shout again I will punch you in the face, phone Jace tell him to come back or you go to his” Jess said
“Look I love you but sometimes I don’t understand you” Lisa said lifting her keys and leaving the house
“Great to be home” Jess said sarcastically as she walked up the stairs
Jess walked into her room sitting at her computer desk she turned on her laptop and opened up her emails.
20 minutes later Carmen walked into her room.
“Shouldn’t you be in bed?” Carmen smiled
“No because I’ve been there for nearly a week and a half and besides my girlfriend wasn’t here to cuddle me” Jess smiled
“She’s here now” Carmen said walking over and kissing Jess softly “Sorry my dad was being his usual idiot self, He was having a go at my mum over me never being home”
“My bad” Jess said
“No, not you’re bad, your my girlfriend you were sick so I wanted to be there” Carmen smiled “What the Doctor say?”
“She said I can go back to school on Monday” Jess said getting up of her chair and pulling Carmen up
“Good I miss you at school” Carmen smiled “Miss welsh was asking for you so was Miss Braidy”
“That’s nice” Jess said wrapping her arms around Carmen’s neck
“You okay?” Carmen asked placing her hands on Jess’s waist
“I am now, I just want to cuddle up beside you and watch TV” Jess said kissing Carmen
“That I can do” Carmen smiled lying on Jess’s bed. Jess lay horizontal resting her head on Carmen’s tummy.
“Erm Baby I don’t think you’ll see the TV from there”
“Yeah I just want to cuddle in and talk to you first” Jess smiled “I’ve had lots of time to think in the hospital and over my two weekly period of bed rest”
“That’s never a good sign” Carmen sighed
“I love the fact were back together but we still need to talk about what went on between us” Jess said
“And you want to do that now whilst you’re recovering?” Carmen asked
“Yes because if I don’t well avoid it, and I don’t want that” Jess admitted
“Ok, well can you at least face me instead of lying looking at the ceiling” Carmen asked
“Not really because then I’ll avoid everything that I want to say because you have the most beautiful gorgeous sexy eyes and they distract me” Jess admitted making Carmen laugh
“Ok so”
“So first thing is, I love you so much and I shouldn’t have left the way I did and I shouldn’t have broken up with you but being on tour I absolutely loved, even though I missed you every single day”
“Jess…”
“No let me finish, Carmen I love being on tour and I possibly will be going back on tour this summer, I love being a musician because it’s the one thing I’m extremely good at”
“Well that’s a lie” Carmen interrupted
“It is not” Jess stated
“Your amazing at sports, your grades are straight A’s and B’s you’re not as stupid as you think, you get the lead in all the musicals even though you’re the worst dancer on the planet” Carmen joked
“I am not. I’m just a bit un coordinated” Jess defended herself
“A bit?” Carmen laughed “Look Jess you shouldn’t have broken up with me I’ll give you that one. Mainly because someone told you to do it, when do you ever listen to anyone?”
“I know but”
“No but about it, you were out of order there, you fought so hard to get me to notice you in the first place, which was pointless because trust me your extremely hard not to notice,you got me, we fell in love, we slept together, you ran a mile” Carmen said
“I know I did but it wasn’t because we fell in love or slept together, it was merely because I got a once in a life time chance”
“And I get that, I just didn’t like the way you did it” Carmen admitted
“I’m sorry about the way I did it, you’re the only person that probably see’s the real me, I live up to all these expectations and some I don’t mind”
“Jess I don’t put any expectations on you, I get you’re a musician and your turning out to be a pretty big one but I won’t be pushed aside all the time or denied because people don’t like it”
“and you won’t be, from now on your my girlfriend and people will need to get use to that, but you also need to get use to the fact I’ll be on tour and busy and everyone will want a piece of me”
“I don’t mind sharing you at all” Carmen said “And I will be there whenever you want me too”
“I need to know a few things” Jess said
“Anything”
“Did anything at all happen with you and Lindsay?”
“No I promise”
“Good because I am going to fucking kill her” Jess said
“You’re kidding right?”
“No I’m not, she’s made my life hell for near a month and I had visions of you and her in bed and arghh”
“Thanks for the vote of confidence” Carmen said
“You didn’t exactly defend yourself or deny it” Jess said
“I was hurt and angry Jess”
“You wouldn’t even talk to me unless it was to have a go” Jess stated “Then I got sick”
“And I was the first one there! I watched you get sick but you wouldn’t let me help”
“I was angry you ignored me” Jess admitted
“Well can we stop being angry because I suck at being angry at you” Carmen admitted
“There’s something about the way you look at me, you make my heartbeat pounce, and my head spin” Jess smiled lifting her head and leaning so she could face Carmen “If I’ve learned one thing through all this, it’s that I don’t want to keep anything from you and I want to share the best of me with you”
“Good I’m glad to hear that” Carmen smiled
“You and those eyes” Jess said kissing Carmen softly
“Your one to talk, Your eyes make me cave, your nose scrunching smile and your voice in general pretty much does it” Carmen said
“I love you” Jess said cupping the right side of Carmen’s face
“I love you too” Carmen smiled leaning up and kissing Jess again
Lisa and Jace walked in
“Ok eww” Lisa said
“Not the word I’d use” Jace smiled
“Can I help you?” Jess asked
Carmen laughed
“I came to apologise for being selfish earlier, but I can see you’ve made a full recovery” Lisa smirked
“And we were just going to ask if you wanted anything?” Jace smiled
“No” Jess smiled “Goodbye!”
Jace and Lisa left closing the door.
“Member the house rules Mama and Mum put them there for our own good you know” Lisa shouted
“They only apply to you babe!” Jess shouted
