“Jess you Mama is calling me do you want to speak to her?” Louise asked
“YES!” Jess said taking the phone from Louise
“Louise hi I was just wondering how my girl is” Bette said
“Mama hi it’s me, I miss you” Jess said
“Hey sweetie how you feeling?”
“Like crap I can’t stop being sick and the heat is just ridiculous”
“Are you drinking plenty of water?”
“Yeah but it’s not helping, I actually can’t wait to come home” Jess admitted
“Just rest Jess we love you”
“Love you too, I’ll Skype in a few hours” Jess said
“Ok sweetie put Louise on the phone”
Jess handed the phone to Louise
“Bette hi”
“Please tell me she is getting the best possible care?”
“She is don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to her” Louise promised
“I hope not ok I’ll let you go…take care”
“Louise what’s the latest?” Kelly asked
“Jess still isn’t 100 percent, Jace is doing better so is Mark and lee, John is still throwing up and Jess and Josh are still sick”
“Can jess sing?” Kelly asked
“She can’t jump about a stage like a maniac no”
“But could she manage an acoustic set?”
“You would need to ask her I wouldn’t advise it though”
“We need to do something the press are having a field day” Kelly said running her hands through her hair
“Oh I bet…” Louise sighed “Let’s go talk to them they’re all up on the roof”
“Everyone?”
“Yep everyone of them” Louise laughed “They’re bored”
Kelly and Louise got into the elevator and made their way to the rooftop
“Uh oh” Brian said noticing them getting out the elevator
“Hi guys. How’s everyone feeling, Wow erm the two Jess’s look like crap”
“Oh my god see the next person to say that!” Jess snapped
Carmen laughed “baby you don’t look like crap”
“I’ll take it I do look like crap and I feel like crap Caroline should be here to look after me” Jess said resting her head on Steven.”
“Who can actually play?” Louise asked
“I could” Jace admitted
“Me” Brain said
“And Me” Steven agreed
“I could” Lee said
“Me too” Mark said
“Right jess could you sing?” Kelly asked
“Nope, I could maybe manage two songs but failing that no” Jess admitted
“Guys we might need to extend the tour” Kelly explained
“I’m sorry what?” Jess asked
“The shows we cancelled we need to reschedule for next week” Kelly told them
Jess closed her eyes and sighed.
Jess from the summer set looked at Kelly
“Oh good one I don’t get to see my girlfriend on her birthday because I was sick and had to cancel a show or two” Jess snapped
“Jess I’m sorry”
“Can’t we do an acoustic show on MTV give them free entry and well sign, then the ones who can play can and the ones who can’t can sign”
“I’m not signing when I’m sick” Jess said
“Yeah I agree” Jess from the summer set agreed “That’s just putting out fans at risk from being sick”
“And the press will take pictures of us looking like shit” John said
“Guys help me out here” Kelly sighed “I’ve cancelled two shows for you”
“Extend the tour” Jess sighed
“I’ll fly Caroline out she can spend her birthday with you” Kelly said
“She can’t she’s got plans with her family” Jess said
“Don’t worry well be lonely together Carmen and Lisa go home on Saturday” Jess said
“The summer set you can have time off when you get back to Arizona, Jess I’m afraid your lot are hitting the studio and getting stuff recorded for your new album”
“I want at least a week off first” Jess stated
“That can be arranged” Kelly smiled
“Erm hello we have a wedding to finish sorting” Lisa said
“Sorry Lisa but your fiancé is needed in my studio” Kelly smiled
“What the hell is left to sort?” Jace asked shocked
Everyone laughed
“I haven’t decided yet” Lisa smiled
“Oh god” Jess laughed “Aren’t weddings fun”
