Apologies are often open ended
But this one’s better left unsaid

One in the same
Never to change
Our love was beautiful
We got it all
Destined to fall
Our love was tragical
Wanted to call
No need to fight
You know I wouldn’t lie
But tonight, we’ll leave it on the line

“Jess I don’t care what anyone says you and Carmen need to fix what you had because people would kill for love like yours” Kelly said from the door “And I want you in tomorrow to record that”

“I don’t want to record it” jess said

“Tough, as your manager I’m telling you” Kelly smiled “You’ll thank me for it”

“She’s right Jess Carmen loves you, that’s the reason were here” Brian said

“Excuse me?”

“This was all Carmen she arranged us to come, she called us and told us she was worried about you and needed help” Jess explained to the other Jess

“She’s a keeper and she’s hot” Steven smirked

“And she would never lift her hands to you in a bad way” Brain stated

“Do you honestly think I want to hear all this? I know I fucked up and I know I lost the best thing I ever had I don’t need reminded every fucking day” Jess snapped “Or do I need it thrown in my face”

Jess barged past Kelly leaving the studios. She pulled her hood up and folded her arms as she walked.

Jess ran after her grabbing her waist causing Jess to jump.

“It’s me I didn’t mean to scare you” Jess said

“It’s fine sorry I’m still on edge”

“Look come back in we didn’t mean to ambush you, we just want you to be happy” Jess explained

Kelly walked over to them

“You can’t keep running from everything Jess” Kelly said

“I’m not I just can’t handle all this right now” Jess told them “I’ll come back tomorrow and record the stupid song”

“Let me drive you home, I’ll feel better if I know your home safe” Kelly said

“Yeah I agree, it’s cold and we don’t want you walking on your own” Jess said

Jess agreed and let Kelly drop her back home. Kelly then drove to Carmen’s to fill her in.
“How did the recording go?” Lisa asked
“Okay” Jess said sitting on the sofa opposite Lisa “Where’s Mum or Mama”
“There both at work should be home soon” Lisa explained “Listen Carmen is coming over tonight are you okay about that?”
“Why wouldn’t I be, you’ve never asked me any other time” Jess stated
“She’s my friend Jess and you can keep denying it and being a complete arse about it but she’s also the girl you love and always have”
“Great so now everyone is telling me how I feel that’s just brilliant” Jess said standing up
“There you go again running as always” Lisa said
“I’m not fucking running, I’m going to my side of the house where no-one can bug me or annoy me or tell me what to do or how to feel because for months that’s all I’ve fucking had!” Jess snapped “Jess do this, Jess don’t speak to them, Jess why you lying to me, Jess your ugly, Jess I don’t know why I bother with you…JESS JESS JESS!!!”
“Well firstly you’re not ugly because that would make me ugly and I’m not fucking ugly, secondly no-one is telling you what to do, we all love you and just want the best for you and thirdly your my sister and I know you better than anyone at least I thought I did”
Bette walked in the house
“What is going on, I can hear you both shouting from the driveway”
“Nothing!” Lisa answered
“Doesn’t sound like nothing, Jess?” Bette asked facing her other daughter
Jess looked at Bette tears streaming down her face; she shook her head and then walked out the lounge.
“Sit!” Bette said to Lisa
“Mama”
“Lisa sit or me and you will fall out” Bette stated
Lisa sat down and folded her arms. Bette sat her bag down and keys and took her jacket off.
“Ok what happened?” Bette asked
“I asked her if she was okay with Carmen coming over and she just lost it” Lisa said “I snapped back told her she wasn’t ugly because that would make me ugly and I’m not ugly”
Bette smiled shaking her head “Okay I’m going to go speak to her”
“Shall I tell Carmen not to come?” Lisa asked
“Is it just Carmen coming?” Bette asked
“Yeah”
“Then no, Carmen’s always welcome here” Bette said getting up and walking through the house to Jess’s side.
Jess was sitting on her sofa pretending to watch TV.
“Can we talk?” Bette asked
“I’m not really in the mood Mama, I just need a little time to get my head together” Jess admitted
“Okay” Bette said getting up “you know where I am if you need me”
Jess turned off the TV and walked through to her bedroom lying on her bed.
Bette walked through just as Tina came in the door.
“Hey baby your home early” Bette said kissing Tina softly
“Yeah I brought stuff home to do”
“Jess and Lisa had a fight” Bette said
“What about?” Tina asked confused
“Lisa didn’t take kindly to Jess calling herself ugly” Bette explained
“Neither do I” Tina said “None of our children are ugly”
“I completely agree with you” Bette smiled “would you like a cup of tea?”
“That be nice babe, Where is everyone just now?”
“Mason is at the garage with Jace, Lisa is upstairs and Jess is in her lounge”
Tina sat down on the sofa looking through the mail; Bette came in handing her the mug of tea.
“So how was your day?” Tina asked
“The usual stroppy teenagers, paperwork and lots of it” Bette sighed “Typical day at Pendine high. What about you?”
“Was pretty shitty, so what we going to do about Jess?” Tina asked
“Nothing we can do we just need to walk the walk with her” Bette stated “She did go record the song today so that’s a start”
