“I actually really like them” Will smiled

“They’ve been where you are, Jess started in the same position, she’s worked so hard to get to where she is”

“Let’s be honest, her parents, wife and friend own this label, she can do no wrong”

“Chrissy you couldn’t be anymore wrong, Jess gets her arse booted constantly, her wife signed you so you might want to lose the attitude there, Carmen is pretty much a silent partner, she is only here when Jess asks her to be, Carmen’s a very good musician too you know”

“No we didn’t” Will stated “Chrissy just chill out a bit, we’ve not even been signed a week and your causing shit”

“Yeah man” Dan agreed

“Were sorry Chrissy will apologise won’t you?” Joe said

“No I won’t I didn’t do anything” Chrissy stood folding her arms

“Okay then” Louise said getting up “Don’t say I didn’t warn you, Jess isn’t a nice enemy ask Shay Cairns”

Carmen walked into the studio with Lisa and Liam.

“Oh give me him” Kelly said excited taking Liam from Lisa

“Lisa come here” Tina said

Lisa walked round to Tina’s desk taking the headphones Tina was handing her. Tina pressed play.

“Okay” Lisa said confused

“That’s going live today”

“Does Jess know?”

“Yes” Tina stated “Why hide your Mama’s feelings when she doesn’t give a fuck about ours”

“Mum”

“I changed a few things on the video not much, well done was excellent for a first attempt”

“Mum this might not be a good idea” Lisa attempted again

“Yeah I’m with Lisa this could backfire” Carmen agreed

“Carmen against the current have a gig tonight at Pulsar, I can’t make it” Kelly explained

“I’ll go I said to them I would last week” Carmen stated “Have you spoken to her about her attitude”

“Yeah was a waste of oxygen she will need to learn the hard way” Kelly stated

“Alice is coming to cover it” Tina explained “I have them in next week for their first video”

“Bette they’re all going nuts” Jodie explained “I thought Dana was going to punch me at one point this afternoon.”

“I’m sorry I’ve dragged you into this, how’s Mason doing?”

“No detentions but he’s not himself he’s very low at the minute”

“Ok”

“What are you hoping to get from all this?”

“I can’t put them through anymore than I have, it’s better if I’m out the way”

“Better for who though?”

“I’m not the person they want”

“How do you know that, you’re doing a damn lot of assuming here?”

“Okay then it’s time for me to go, speak to you soon” Bette said hanging up the phone

Jodie shook her head putting the phone back on the cradle.

Tina and Jess walked into the house, Tina picked up the mail going into the lounge and sitting down.

Jess sat on the opposite chair with her phone.

Tina sat the rest of the mail down focusing on one letter.

“What is it?” Jess asked seeing the expression on her Mum’s face.

“It’s nothing”

“Don’t lie to me mum what is it?” Jess got up going over

Jess lifted the letter from Tina’s hands.

Jess stood speechless. Tina couldn’t hold her tears in.

Jess scrunched the paper up in her hands going into the kitchen and putting it in the bin. She went back into the lounge hugging Tina. Lisa, Liam and Jace walked into the lounge, Lisa handed Liam to Jace and sat at the other side of Tina hugging her. Jace left the lounge with his son.

“Mum it’s going to be okay” Lisa said

“It’s fucking not Lisa!” Jess snapped standing up “She’s just sent Mum divorce papers in the fucking mail!”

Tina got up going into her bedroom closing the door.

“I fucking hate her! I hate her so much Lisa!” Jess cried

Lisa pulled Jess into her arms; she didn’t know what to say or what to do
