Jess, Jace, Lee and Mark walked into the studio and made their way up to Kelly’s office. Jess knocked on the door and then entered.
“hey guys have a seat just give me two seconds” Kelly said as she finished typing up and email.
Jess looked at the boys confused.
“Have we done something?” Mark asked
“What Mark means is…Has he done something?” Jace asked
“Relax guys you haven’t did anything” Kelly said moving out from her desk and joining them at the table. “Ok firstly I’m sorry I was short with you on the phone I’m rather stressed today” Kelly said to Jess
“Yeah it’s cool what’s up?” Jess asked
“The summer set need your help!” Kelly stated
“Anything, what’s up are they okay?” Jess responded
“Yeah what do they need” Jace agreed
“Their support band had to pull out their UK tour last minute and they need another band on the tour” Kelly said nervously watching Jess’s reaction.
“Shit” Jace said running his hands through his hair
“Erm” Lee added “Obviously this is a decision for Jess to make”
“Yeah well support whatever she decides” Mark added
“Jess I know this is shitty timing and probably scary for you but it would really help the guys out” Kelly said
“Firstly were not a support band” Jess stated
“Absolutely you would be headlining together” Kelly agreed
“Secondly my girlfriend will hit the fucking roof, and not to mention my parents” Jess said
“See that is why I’ve got you a fabulous tour manager”
“Is she female? I have a slight disregard for female tour managers” Jess stated
“That is not funny” Jace snapped
“She is female but I think you will like this one” Kelly said lifting up her phone “Hi can you send in the new tour manager for Jess’s band”
“What do you guys think?” Jess asked “We’ve not really performed much I’m still a bit edgy”
“I think this is entirely your decision and we will support whatever one you make” Mark said “We don’t want you being uncomfortable”
“I think you need to talk to Bette and Tina” Jace said “And Carmen”
Someone knocked on the door.
“Come in” Kelly shouted
Jess looked at the person coming in the door. “Oh my god you have got to be kidding me” Jess got up and hugged the person
“Mrs Braidey” Jace smiled
“No longer your teacher Jace you can call me Louise”
“See the tour is for 3 weeks and your Mama has authorised leave for Louise” Kelly smiled
“My mama knows?” Jess asked
“Yes this was her condition and I’m happy enough with it” Kelly smiled
“Arghh no way” Jess said putting her head in her hands “I don’t know if I’m ready for all this”
“No pressure you have a few days to make the decision, the summer set guys also want you to know this is your decision and they won’t feel any different of you if you’re not ready” Kelly stated
Jess thought for a second “Ok let me speak to my parents and Carmen”
“No worries just call me when you decide please”
“Yeah I will” Jess said getting up “speak to you both soon”
The boys got up and followed Jess out the office.
