Jess got into Lisa’s car just as her phone was ringing.
“One day that thing won’t ring when we’re spending time together” Lisa laughed
“Babe it’s Carmen” Jess laughed pressing speaker “Hey baby you’re on speaker you okay?”
“Yeah just got home had a shitty day and wanted to hear your voice, what’s my girl doing?”
“Just about to head out for food with Lisa”
“I can pick you up if you like?” Lisa asked
“No it’s okay I’m not hungry, Declan had an accident at the station and I’m feeling rather sick”
“What he do?” Jess asked
“Shot his gun in the office”
“He did what?” Lisa laughed
“Yeah Andrew blew a paper bag and burst it in his ear and Declan shit himself” Carmen told them
“Wow erm isn’t your guns not supposed to be loaded or something” Jess asked
“Exactly!”
“Wow erm okay, are you okay? Did anyone get hurt?”
“Nope me and Kenzie had a heart attack, I totally made Andrew walk home”
Jess and Lisa laughed
“Well at least you have a week off to relax” Lisa said “And we can get wasted, you coming to ours tonight?”
“I’m not sure, baby what do you want to do?”
“I’d rather you came to ours because I’ve not even thought about packing yet” Jess admitted
Lisa glared at her sister “JESS!”
“It’s on my to do list…JEZ!” Jess smirked
Carmen laughed “Okay I’ll drive over there in a few hours let me get organised here first”
“Ok babe love you”
“Love you too, bye Lis”
“Bye” Lisa smiled

“Mama it’s ridiculous I can’t believe I’m getting made to do it” Mason huffed “Sleeping…in a tent…no no beds are for sleeping in”
“Mason we bought you an air bed what more could you possibly ask for”
“Not to go”
“Mason you will hurt Jace’s feelings”
“He will get over it…this experience I won’t, think of all the beasties and what if a bear eats me…how will you feel then if you have made me do this”
Bette laughed “Your being dramatic, I think I need to cut down your time with Jess, she’s beginning to influence you”
“This is stupid”
“Sweetheart it is 5 days that’s all…I think the route of the problem is you’re not going to have your x-box” Bette said hitting the nail on the head
Mason huffed putting his iPod back in “So un reasonable”
Bette laughed

The next day
“Everyone set? Do you know where you’re going?” Lisa asked Carmen
“Not really I’m going to follow you Mama so tell her not to drive like maniac” Carmen smiled
Carmen got in the car “Ok let’s go”
“How long a drive is it?” Amy asked
“3 hours as far as I’m aware, but with Bette’s driving 2 and a half” Carmen smirked
“My mama isn’t that bad for speeding” Jess laughed
“She totally is and I hope she remembers I’m a cop I’m obliged to report her”
“Yeah I can see that happening” Amy laughed
“Wonder who will argue first” Carmen asked
“My money is on Lisa and Jace’s mum” Jess smirked “She irritates Lisa”
“She’s lovely” Carmen laughed
“Yeah but she tries to tell Lisa how to look after Jace” Jess responded “And to be fair I don’t think she needs advice”
They arrived at the beach house just after 3pm.
“Wow erm okay this is awesome” Amy smiled
“Yeah it’s pretty cool” Jess smiled “Let me just call my brother and see if he’s surviving”
“Mum will kill you she doesn’t want us to contact them”
“I’ll call Jace just to see” Jess smiled “Promise I won’t even speak to Mas”
“No Jess, I want to see how he reacts this week, that boy really needs to work on his social skills” Tina instructed “Jace has promised to text if there is any issues”
“Ok chill out I won’t bother” Jess said putting her phone back in her pocket.
Tina walked into the house Carmen pulled Jess back
“You txt Jace didn’t you?” Carmen smirked
“Off course” Jess smiled stealing a kiss
Carmen laughed
They all walked around the beach house exploring
Jess walked into the room in which Bette and Tina had choose and lay on the middle of the bed.
“What going on?” Bette asked lying next to her
“Nothing I’m just starving and waiting on Carmen to get out the shower” Jess smiled
“Yeah I’m starving too but it’s a bit early yet” Tina agreed lying at the other side of Jess
“Where’s your sister?”
“Right here” Lisa said coming in the room and budging on the bed “Ok guys let me on too”
Tina laughed moving over
“I can’t believe I’m getting married next week”
“I can, you’ve been dreaming of this since you were 12” Jess smiled “Now you and prince charming are getting your happy ever after”
“When you and Carmen thinking?” Lisa asked
“Not too soon I hope, I need to recover from this wedding”
“No were not in a rush I don’t think” Jess smiled “Carmen wants the big white wedding”
“What do you want Jess?” Tina asked
“I just want Carmen that’s it, I don’t mind about the rest” Jess smiled
Tina’s phone started ringing
“No nope no! No work this week you promised I will confiscate you and Jess’s phone” Lisa stated
“Ok ok chill out” Tina laughed
“Erm hello I haven’t been on my phone once” Jess smirked
“Yet” Bette muttered
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means I’m convinced you were born with a phone in your hand” Bette laughed
“She has a point” Tina smirked
Jess’s phone started to ring
“It’s Kelly” Jess said
“That’s who was ringing me” Tina admitted
Jess looked at Lisa pleading
“2 minutes!” Lisa stated “I’m serious”
