“What’s this mean?” Kirsty asked
“What does what mean?” jess said walking over
“You got a text from Jace saying no-one can help unless you let them”
“He’s probably just talking about work stuff” Jess said fast
“Jess don’t lie to me” Kirsty snapped
“Kirsty I don’t know what he’s talking about can we please not do this tonight?” Jess asked
“Let’s text him back and find out, shall we” Kirsty said replying to the text
I’m sorry I don’t get what you mean? X
“Great nice to know you trust me” Jess said walking over to the sofa and sitting down
Kirsty took a drink of her wine and waited on the reply.
You know exactly what I’m talking about x
“Apparently you know exactly what he’s talking about” Kirsty said throwing Jess’s phone off the wall
Jess jumped
“So what do I say this time Kirst?”
“I don’t know what I ever seen in you, you’re a complete embarrassment”
Jess just looked out the window.

A few weeks passed
“Mum we’ve seen her fucking twice!” Lisa said losing her temper
“Language!” Tina warned
“Everytime I go to that stupid flat I don’t get an answer” Lisa said
“Tina I agree with Lisa here, we have seen her twice”
“We need to do something!” Lisa lifter her car keys
“Lisa where you going?” Tina asked
“I need to clear my head” Lisa snapped

Carmen walked up the stairs to Kirsty’s flat. She had been debating for a week on wither or not to do this, She watched Kirsty leave and then made her way up.
Jess answered after 5 minutes of constant knocking.
“Carmen what you doing her? You can’t be here?” Jess panic’d
“Wow calm down, I only want to talk to you” Carmen said “Jess what happened to your lip?”
“I bit it by accident, Carmen you need to go” Jess said trying to close the door
“Like hell I do, what happened to your face?” Carmen asked again holding the door open
“I bit it!” Jess said
“Did Kirsty do this?” Carmen asked
“Don’t be ridiculous, course she didn’t, She loves me” Jess said
“Your mum and mama are worried no-one has seen you in a few weeks, your phone is switched off”
“I can’t be seen, paparazzi would have field day, my phone is broken, and I haven’t managed to get a new one” Jess explained
“Jess”
“Carmen please please can you just go if Kirsty see’s you here I won’t hear the end of it” Jess pleaded
“Okay” Carmen agreed
Carmen got back in her car and drove to the station. She sat down at her desk and then looked up a name on the computer.
“Kirsty Harrison?” Andrew asked “Who’s she?”
“My worst nightmare” Carmen said running her hand through her hair
“you look tired?”Andrew said sitting down at his desk
“I’m okay, nothing red bull won’t cure”
Andrew was Carmen’s partner they went through academy together and got pretty close.
“You been partying with the ladies?” Andrew asked
Carmen smiled
“There it is, that’s all I wanted was a smile”
“So you going to tell me who this Kirsty person is?”
“She’s dating my ex” Carmen explained
“You only have one ex that I know about, that one who broke your heart and made you give up on love” Andrew said dramatically
“Yes that be the one” Carmen sighed
“Mate you need to get over her, honestly” Andrew said
“I can’t and to top it off we think Kirsty is punching her around”
“You’re kidding, Jess is a huge popstar surely people would notice”
“She’s also very convincing and what she says goes” Carmen explained “I went to see her this morning, she has a burst lip and was in such a hurry to get rid of me incase Kirsty spotted me”
“Has she any previous convictions?”
“Not one” Carmen sighed
“Guys we have a disturbance call can you take it?”
“Yes sergeant were on it” Andrew said “The address?”
The sergeant told them the address.
“That’s Kirsty’s flat” Carmen said
“I’ll drive”
They reached Kirsty’s flat and ran upstairs knocking on the door.
“POLICE OPEN UP!” Andrew shouted
Kirsty opened the door.
“Can I help you?”
“I’m Officer Robinson and this is Officer Morales”
”We got a call about a disturbance” Carmen said
“Loud voices, banging?” Andrew said
“Must have been a mistake”
“You won’t mind us coming in then” Carmen said barging past her
Jess was sitting on the sofa looking at the TV.
“Everything okay?” Carmen asked looking straight at Jess
Jess looked at Kirsty and then to Carmen.
“Everything is fine why?” Jess asked
“We got a call about a disturbance, loud voices banging”
“I must have had the TV too loud sorry” Jess apologised
“You’d think she was deaf” Kirsty smiled
“Her name is Jess” Carmen snapped
Jess looked at Carmen with a please don’t look.
Carmen closed her eyes and then looked at Andrew. ‘All’s good here let’s go”
Kirsty closed her flat door.
“I can see a move on the cards” Kirsty said going into the bedroom
Jess hunched her legs up to her chest and took a deep breath.
Kelly knocked on the door.
“Kirsty? Do you want me to answer it?”
“No it’s fine I’ll get it” Kirsty said opening the door “Kelly you okay?”
“Just need to speak to Jess about a possible interview”
“Come in” Kirsty smiled
Kelly walked in she looked at Jess.
“Can I get you a drink?”
“No I’m fine thanks”
Kelly walked over sitting beside Jess. “How do you feel about this?”
Kelly showed her the email.
“What’s this?”
“MTV All Access” Jess said
“Babe do you think that’s a good idea at the minute, you’re supposed to be resting” Kirsty said looking at Jess
“I can’t do this one Kel sorry I just don’t have the energy at the minute” Jess said
“Ok fair enough will I see you tomorrow?” Kelly asked
“What for?” Jess asked
“Lisa and Jace’s engagement dinner”
“I forgot all about that” Jess admitted “Yeah me and Kirsty will be there right?”
“Yeah” Kirsty smiled pouring herself another glass of wine and then going to the bathroom
”Are you okay?” Kelly whispered
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine just go”
“Your lip?”
”Kelly just go” Jess pleaded
Kelly got up “Kirsty I’ll see you tomorrow”
Kelly was good at playing normal around Kirsty.
“Okay bye” Kirsty shouted
Kelly left closing the door. Jess took a deep breath in knowing fine well Kirsty was going to start, the wine was a giveaway.
Kirsty walked into the living room slapping Jess clean across the face.
“You weren’t going to tell me about the engagement dinner were you?”
“Kirsty the invitation is on the fridge I forgot all about it” Jess explained wiping her lip
“Why do you always have to do this?” Kirsty snapped “Do you think I want to hit you?”
“Well you seem to be doing it a lot recently” Jess said causing her to receive another slap
“I’m sorry I’ve upset you again” Jess apologised “I honestly forgot about the engagement dinner”
“LIAR!” Kirsty snapped going back into kitchen
