“Loving the whole we have a single being released that we’ve never heard” Mark smirked as Jess waked into the studio with Jace
“I’m sorry about that, I wrote it and Kelly fell in love with it, next I know were releasing it” Jess explained
“Jess are you sure you’re ready for tonight?” Lee asked concerned
“Yes babe I am, and besides I have you guys there and my family”
“Always” Jace smiled
“Ok so the song is pretty straight forward, would you like to hear it?” Jess asked them
“Yeah were going to need too” Mark said sarcastically
“Where’s Kelly?” Jace asked
“She’ll be here soon she’s been held up in a meeting” Lee explained “She said to carry on without her till she gets here.”
“Ok lets set up and I’ll let you hear” Jess said to them as she sat down at the piano
“Jess you need to get out of here right now” Kelly said rushing in the room
“What why?” Jess asked
“Kirsty is here collecting her things”
“Where is the bitch?” Jace asked putting down his guitar
“NO!! Jace seriously, were just going to leave no drama” Jess said standing in front of him
“You can’t be serious?” Jace asked
“I am come on let’s go” Jess said opening the studio door and walking straight into Kirsty
“Still falling into my arms jess” Kirsty smiled
“In your dreams!” Jace snapped before Jess had a chance to open her mouth
“You shouldn’t be near Jess Kirsty, just go get your stuff and leave” Kelly said
“Yeah relax Kel I know” Kirsty said “Jess I just wanted to say”
“Save it!” Carmen said walking up to Jess and putting her arm around her
Carmen could feel how tense Jess was
“Oh wow a reunion how sweet” Kirsty said
“Kirsty just go get your shit and then get out of here!”
“Jess can I just speak to you for a second?” Kirsty asked
“Absolutely not!” Carmen said
“She can talk you know” Kirsty said “She doesn’t need an interpreter”
“She doesn’t need you either so fuck off” Lee snapped
“Kirsty just go, there’s nothing you can say or do and I’ve heard your apology’s a million times” Jess spoke for the first time “I’m tired of this now!”
Jess walked into the studio away from everybody, Mark and Lee followed her.
“Ok you have approximately 5 minutes to have your stuff gathered and out of here” Kelly instructed
“Or you can leave via the window”
“Big threat is it not officer?”
“I think you’ll find I’m off duty you go near Jess again and you will see how threatening I can be” Carmen said walking into the studio.
Kirsty laughed and then walked away
“You okay?” Carmen asked walking over to Jess
“Yes I’m fine” Jess lied
“Are you lying to me?” Carmen said making eye contact with Jess
“Ok no I’m not okay, but I’ll be fine I just didn’t expect that”
“Where did you appear from anyway?”Jace asked
“Yeah good question” Jess said folding her arms
“Ok don’t kill me but I might have had someone follow you a little just so I know your okay”
“CARMEN!” Jess snapped
“What? I can’t watch 24-7” Carmen admitted
“You should be at home sleeping; I’m a big girl I can look after myself”
Jace, Mark, Lee and Carmen looked at her. Jess rolled her eyes and sat down at the piano.
“Ok let’s go over this before we look like idiots tonight” Mark said
Jess’s hands were shaking.
“Change of plan, let’s get out of here for a bit” Carmen said “Not up for discussion”
Carmen took Jess’s hand pulling her up of the piano stool. She kept a hold of her hand as they left the studio.
