Tina pulled into the drive everyone went to get out “Carmen?”
“Yes?”
“You better remain in the house till myself or Bette feel otherwise, you might not care about your well-being but we do”
“Tina I’m 22 years of age, I’m highly capable of looking after myself”
“That’s apparent!” Tina stated “Your on Kennard Porter watch wither you like it or not!”
“Jesus Christ” Carmen muttered closing the door
Tina put down the window.
“Bette porter is much worse, you should know this!” Tina smiled
Jess laughed opening the door.
“You’re not funny!” Carmen snapped
“My parents are though” Jess smiled
Mason put his bag down and Jacket
“Ok buddy you know the drill, x-box on the bed…”
“Yep” Mason said going up the stairs

“This is absolutely ridiculous I cannot believe your parents have grounded me” Carmen huffed to Lisa who was sitting on the sofa with her laptop.
Lisa laughed “Well that’s what happens when you go awol, haven’t you learned anything over the years with you fiancée’s carry on?”
“Jess is a whole different ball game” Carmen smirked
“Where is she?”
“In her studio writing” Carmen replied “I’ve to leave her too it”
“She’s meeting the boys to record later” Lisa stated “Jace is away getting new strings for his guitar”
“Yeah she mentioned that, but I’m under strict orders not to leave this house” Carmen smirked
Bette walked into the house
“Hey guys” Bette smiled
“Oh wow aren’t you in a wonderful mood” Lisa smiled
“Not for long” Carmen muttered
“What’s going on?” Bette said putting her keys in the bowl and sitting down her briefcase
“Mason got sent home for fighting today” Lisa smiled “Jess knows everything I know nothing”
“Oh very good, that’s just what I need” Bette sighed
“Coffee?” Lisa’s asked “vodka perhaps?”
“Coffee would be nice, I’m just going to go speak to Jess”
Bette walked through to Jess’s studio and knocked on the door.
“Hello?” Bette said opening the door
Jess was sitting with her headphones on concentrating. Bette touched her shoulder causing Jess to jump.
“MAMA SERIOUSLY?” Jess snapped “Are you trying to give me a heart attack?”
“I’m sorry sweetie I didn’t mean to scare you, what’s going on with your brother?” Bette asked sitting on the other seat
“Erm I’m not too sure Mum had to go collect him apparently he called a teacher an idiot that’s all mum had a chance to tell me she had to rush of to work but I know she’s not a happy bunny” Jess smirked “She even grounded Carmen”
Bette laughed “I wanted a chance to see how Carmen was so I asked you’re Mum to tell her to hang around here”
“Well I’m in the studio tonight so you have plenty of time to talk to her” Jess smiled
“What you recording?”
“I’ve wrote two new songs, but no-ones heard them yet, I want to see what Louise thinks before I let anyone hear them” Jess explained
“I’m not anyone” Bette smiled
Jess looked at her Mama and then handed her the headphones.
A huge smile appeared on Bette’s face
“Is that Mason?”
“Yep” Jess smiled “How good is he?”
“Wow erm okay” Bette said taking the headphones off “I love it, Jess your voice is incredible when you’re not worked up”
“My voice is incredible when I produce it you mean, I hate autotune and all that crap” Jess explained lifting her phone “Crap I need to go”
Jess gathered her things
“Do you need dropped off?” Bette asked
“No its okay Jace is picking me up” Jess smiled kissing Bette on the cheek “Thanks for asking though”
“You’re welcome on that note I’ll go have my coffee then speak to your brother before your Mum gets home”
