Jess walked into the kitchen and froze “Wow don’t see you for 3 years and now your everywhere” Jess said
“Nice to see you too Jess” Carmen smirked
“Mum this is the key’s for the extension” Jess said handing them to Tina
“You keep a hold of them, their yours” Bette said taking them from Tina and handing them back to Jess “Next time you plan to move out please tell me to my face Jess don’t let me hear from someone else”
“I’m only moving across town” Jess said “I need to go Kirsty will be here soon”
“You can tell your brother” Tina said “I’m not”
“I will, when I see him” Jess said
“When we rehearsing?” Jace asked
“Kelly’s cleared us for 4 weeks so I’m not too sure, I’ll text you though”
“Do you need any help lifting the boxes to her car?” Jace asked
“Yes that be good” Jess said
Jess hugged Tina and Bette.
“I love you” Bette said
“Love you too” Jess smiled
Jace got up and walked back with Jess.
Carmen clasped her hands together.
“What’s going on?” Carmen asked
“We think Kirsty is beating Jess” Lisa said
“Lisa!” Tina said
“No it’s the truth I’m not sugar coating it” Lisa said
“And you’re letting her move out?” Carmen said shocked
“There’s more to it” Tina said “Look let’s have the conversation when it’s safe to do so”
“Yep because Jess moving in with her isn’t dangerous enough or anything, this is shit!” Lisa snapped getting up and going upstairs
Lisa watched from the window as Jace helped lift all Jess’s stuff into Kirsty’s car.
Jace hugged Jess before going back in the house. Jess looked up at the window at her sister and smiled a little.
“Please tell me you are kidding me why the fuck did you not tell me Jace” Carmen said standing up “I can’t do anything without proof you do know that yes?”
“Carmen I didn’t have any proof that’s why I didn’t tell anyone”
“You promised me you would watch her and protect her” Carmen said
“And I have tried to do that, so has Kelly, Jess is very I don’t even know how to explain it she’s not Jess anymore” Jace stated
“She waited 2 years for you to fight for her” Lisa said folding her arms
“I waited 3 for her to fight for me and I’m still waiting” Carmen stated “She broke up with me for the second time and her career had really took off I didn’t want to hold her back” Carmen said standing up
“Carmen you went to university and made something of yourself and we are extremely proud of you for that” Bette said “Jess broke up with you, you’re not to blame”
“I didn’t mean it like that, I just if you and her were still together then she’d never be in this position” Lisa said
“I will keep a close eye on things, and we all need to communicate together, we need proof” Carmen said
“Mum, Mama?” Mason shouted
“In the kitchen” Tina replied
Mason walked into the kitchen with his face like thunder.
“What’s up with you?” Lisa asked
“I got a punishment excersise” Mason said “So let me guess x-box in your room”
“What did you get it for?” Bette asked
“Well see the thing is I forgot to do my homework yesterday” Mason admitted
“Your right sweetie, x-box on my bed and then tidy your room please” Bette smiled
“Where’s Jess?”
“Jess is going to speak to you later buddy” Tina said
“She promised we’d spend time together when I finished school”
“Yes that’s not happening dude” Lisa said
“Lisa!” Tina warned
“Go tidy your room and put the x-box on my bed” Bette instructed
Mason huffed all the way out the kitchen and up the stairs.
“Wow isn’t he just like Jess” Carmen said
“He’s not far off it” Bette smiled “He has Jess’s temper and attitude but Lisa’s ability not to tidy”
“Guy’s I need to go but anything at all you have my number” Carmen said
“I’ll walk you out” Lisa said getting up
They reached the door.
“Carmen you need to help me get my sister back” Lisa said folding her arms
“Babe you know me, if I get one little bit of proof she’s laid one finger on Jess I will destroy her I promise2 Carmen said “Jess needs to come to us though”
“You know as well as I do she won’t”
“I’ll be watching from a distance” Carmen winked at Lisa
“You still love her right?”
“I never stopped loving her” Carmen said “I really need to go”
Carmen gave Lisa a hug before leaving. Lisa walked upstairs and into Mason’s room.
“Have you done your homework?” Lisa asked
“No Mama told me to tidy my room”
“Let’s get the homework done first then I’ll help you tidy here” Lisa said
“Okay” Mason walked over to his bag taking out his homework
