Jess and Lisa got into Jace and Lisa’s Range rover.
“So where to?” Lisa asked
“Well I need to find out where my girlfriend is, I know she’s off today”
“She’s at the beach with Andrew and his little boy” Lisa smiled “I text her”
“Let’s go to the beach then” Jess smiled
Lisa smiled at Jess “It’s good to have my sister back”
Lisa drove the 20 minutes to the beach.
Andrew and Carmen were helping Riley build a castle. Jess and Lisa stood watching them.
“So is this what police officers do all day?” Jess asked
Carmen and Andrew looked up
Lisa laughed at Carmen’s face.
“Oh my god!” Carmen said getting up and jumping into Jess’s arms “I missed you!”
“I missed you too” Jess smiled
“Ok you can kiss me now” Carmen said
Jess smiled kissing Carmen softly
“This better not be a day visit” Carmen said
“Nope I’m home” Jess smiled
“Jess I hate to break you two up, but if mum and mama get wind of you being home and them not being told were both dead!” Lisa said
Jess looked at Carmen “She has a point”
Carmen turned looking at Andrew “Go!” Andrew laughed “Jess clearly wins”
“Thank you, goodbye” Carmen said kissing Andrew on the cheek
“Don’t forget we have Riley tonight” Andrew said
“Yep” Carmen replied clasping her hand through Jess’s

Lisa took out her mobile texting Bette and Tina.
Can you meet me at home in 20 minutes, it’s about Jess xx
Bette got the text she read it twice before calling Tina.
“Baby did you just get a text message from Lisa?”
“I did I’m leaving the office as we speak” Tina said hurrying out the office
“Ok see you at home” Bette said gathering her things and leaving her office “Forward all my calls to my mobile please”
Tina was first home she raced into the house.
“LISA!!”
“Tina she’s out at the minute, she’s wedding shopping” Jace said coming down the stairs
Bette was next in the house.
“What’s going on?” Bette asked
“She’s not even home” Tina snapped
2Can someone fill me in, I seem to be out the loop” Jace said confused
Lisa walked into the house
“What’s wrong is Jess okay?” Bette asked
“Jess is fine” Jess smiled from behind Lisa.
Carmen closed the front door, Tina and Bette both practically ran to Jess pulling her into their arms.
“CAN’T BREATH!” Jess said “LITERALLY!”
Bette released her grip on Jess and folded her arms looking at Lisa.
“What?” Lisa asked
“Have you any idea how much worry that text message fucking caused us!” Bette snapped
“What text message?” Jess asked
Tina lifted her phone and read the text out.
“LISA!” Jess laughed
“What was I supposed to text, Jess is home meet me there!” Lisa smiled “Infact would you have got here any slower, No I didn’t think so”
“It’s not the point I had a thousand things running through my head” Bette said
“Your home permantaly right?” Tina asked
“Yes” Jess smiled ”Anyway I just wanted you to know I’m home, I’m fine”
“Where the hell were you?”
“Rehab” Jess said sitting down
Carmen looked from Jess to Lisa to Bette and Tina.
“I’m sorry what?” Jace asked “Last I checked you weren’t a junkie or alcoholic”
“Your right I wasn’t, but I was extremely depressed and not stable and now I’m feeling a lot better” Jess said
“And you knew about this?” Tina asked Lisa
“Don’t start on Lisa, I made her swear to keep her mouth shut” Jess said defending her sister “I’ve had 3 weeks to clear my head and sort myself out”
“I’m glad your home now” Bette said
“I’m going to get changed and unpack and then I’m going to pick my brother up from school” Jess said getting up. She took Carmen’s hand pulling her with her.
