Mark was asleep on Jess’s shoulder.
“Jess we need to go, Lisa is going nuts at me” Jace said
“You can’t drive you’ve had too many, and he’s wasted” Jess looked at Lee who was asleep on the other sofa
Jess looked at her watch “Shit it’s 2am”
“You’re kidding, damn my stupid cell battery”
“My phone is in the house I forgot it” Jess closed her eyes
Jace looked through Lee’s pocket “His battery is on 2 percent”
“Marks?” Jess asked looking about
“Let’s just walk, it will clear your head a bit” Jess said getting up slowly so she didn’t disturb Mark.

They walked in the house just after 3am
Jess quickly de activated the alarm.
“There all in bed, were in so much trouble” Jace sighed
“Stop being such a big poof, Man up” Jess smiled hanging up her keys “I’m off to bed…good night”
Jess walked through to her side of the house and quietly got organised for bed. Carmen woke up as Jess got into bed.
“What time do you call this?” Carmen smirked looking at her phone
“Mark was very drunk and I left my phone here I’m sorry”
Carmen laughed “Don’t be silly, it’s your Mama who is not happy”
“Why does that not surprise me” Jess smirked opening her arm for Carmen to cuddle in “Love you babe”
“Love you too” Carmen said kissing Jess

“What time did you get home at yesterday?” Bette asked
“Very late, Mark was very drunk and we had a few drinks with him, his boyfriend has been playing around” Jess explained
“Ouch” Bette sighed “Not nice at all”
Bette got up and put the kettle on
“You’re up early” Jess yawned
“Yeah because I’m up early all week my body feels I need to be up early on a Saturday too, what you doing awake?”
“Going to the gym, then have rehearsals” Jess took the mug of tea Bette was handing her “Carmen left at 6 and that was me awake”
“Yeah I spoke to her before she left” Bette smiled “Let me see your ring?”
Jess showed her Mama her hand “It’s beautiful, when did you get it?”
“Just before she left from work, she must have put it on when I was sleeping” Jess smiled “She bought it yesterday though but I had that much on we didn’t really get time together”
“”it’s very similar to Carmen’s”
“Yeah I know” Jess smiled “She picked it herself and everything”
“Yeah she told me” Bette laughed “You’re cruel”
“I’m not, I just didn’t want to pick my own ring, it’s more special if she picks it” Jess smiled “I cannot believe my sister is getting married in 2 weeks”
“Oh tell me about it, your mum and I have such a sore head with it all” Bette laughed “Mason is not amused about having to wear shoes he wanted converse”
Jess laughed
“Speaking of Mason, I want you to speak to him, he thinks he doesn’t need to do well in school because he wants to be a musician like his sister”
Jess choked on her tea
“He does know I’m a straight A student yes?”
Bette laughed “Yes we told him this”
“Oh my god infact we all had really good grades at school” Jess laughed “He’s unbelievable”
Bette rinsed her mug putting it on the drainer “Right I’m away to get dressed”
“Yeah me too” Jess smiled getting up and rinsing her own mug
