Just after 9am Bette was sitting in her office doing some work. Tina was looking about the house for her camera.
“Bette have you seen my camera?” Tina asked
“I haven’t baby where was the last place you had it?” Bette said looking up from her laptop
“I have no idea? I wonder if Lisa used it”
“I doubt it baby she has her own, is it in the studio?” Bette suggested
Jess walked into the kitchen yawning
“Mum, Mama I have my first interview tonight will you both come please, I have a funny feeling I’m going to need all the support I can get” Jess told them
“Off course we will, are you feeling okay? It’s ten past 9 and you’re awake” Bette smiled
“Kelly phoned and it woke me, and now I can’t get back to sleep” Jess explained “How’s Mason?”
“He was up half the night bless him” Tina said “So were you, I heard you?”
“yeah I always am when they take blood, I felt dizzy one minute, sick the next, then I was too warm, then I was cold” Jess sighed “Ended up watching pretty little liars and texting Carmen till 5am”
“4 hours sleep is not good enough sweetheart” Bette looked at Jess “You know that”
“I know” Jess said sitting down, Tina handed her tablets and glass of orange
“Have you seen my camera by any chance?” Tina asked
“Yes it’s in the studio” Jess said “You had it in there last night, charging it”
“So I did, Memory of mine is ridiculous” Tina laughed walking out the kitchen
“Has she lost it?” Jess asked causing Bette to choke on her coffee
“She’s just a little stressed this morning” Bette smiled “So this interview, are you ready for it?”
“No but I need too, my fans are getting impatient and I owe it to them to be honest, there’s so much bullshit going around about what happened”
“Well you’re Mum and I will be there to support you and so will your family and friends” Bette stated “You have nothing to worry about or hide”
“Kelly will be there too, she’s going to be beside me for support as my manager” Jess said “I’m just nervous people judge me I suppose”
“Don’t be sweetheart, the evidence is there no-one will think any less off you, and if they do that’s their problem”
“Yeah anyway I’m going for a shower and then I’m going to go on the treadmill and cross trainer”
“Jess I don’t think you’re fit enough for that honey” Bette stated
“I’ll be fine Mama I promise, I won’t overdo it” Jess said kissing Bette on the cheek before leaving the kitchen
Bette smiled, she was extremely proud of Jess and how strong she was being and was prepared to stand at great lengths to support her and her decisions.
Tina walked into the kitchen
“So this interview tonight is it a good idea?” Tina asked
“I don’t know babe it’s either going to go one way or another, main thing is were there to support her” Bette said “besides it’s about time people heard Jess’s side of the story”
“Who’s it with?”
“Msn” Bette sighed
“Oh brilliant, they like to exaggerate” Tina rolled her eyes turning on the dishwasher
“Well it’s a video interview so the world will see and hear it and they can’t change any of it”
Jace walked into the kitchen.
“Morning” Jace yawned
“Morning” Tina smiled ”What are your plans for today?”
“Well Kelly is just off the phone apparently Jess has an interview tonight and she wants us to play our new single, which I didn’t know we had” Jace told them
“Well I know Jess has an interview tonight but I didn’t know the single part” Bette answered “Jess is awake she’s on the treadmill”
“I better go speak to her incase I’ve just put my foot in it” Jace sighed
Bette and Tina laughed
Jace walked into Jess’s side of the house
“Jess?” Jace said
“In here” Jess shouted from the storage room
Jess was on the cross trainer
“Hey what’s happening tonight?” Jace asked
“You’ll find out, we all have to be at the studio at 2 o’clock”
“Can’t you just tell me just now?” Jace asked
“I have a new song, were playing it tonight, I’m also speaking out for the first time tonight”
“You sure you’re ready for all this?”
“Yeah needs to be done for me to move forward” Jess said “I’m not going to be afraid anymore”
“You don’t have any reason to be afraid, suppose I better go get organised, least I get out of wedding shopping” Jace smiled
Jess laughed “Weddings, Stress and Drama!”
“You’ll get married one day so shut up”
“Yeah I think not!” Jess laughed “I couldn’t be doing with all the drama and stress”
Jace laughed leaving the room
“Yeah Yeah!” He shouted
