Lisa lay beside her. “What happened?”

“This!” Jess said handing her the bracelet
“Wow it’s beautiful, oh my god she told you she loved you” Lisa said excited “Jace told me he loved me too”

“What you say?” Jess asked

“I love you too” Lisa said confused

“Yeah I didn’t quite get that out, my response was ok I didn’t expect that” Jess admitted

“You idiot!” Lisa snapped “Carmen is amazing with you, she puts up with a lot of your shit, she puts her heart on the line and you say ok I didn’t expect that!”

“Thanks Lis really needed that Cheers for the support!” Jess snapped

“Jess she’s all you talk about! You light up when you see her!” Lisa sighed

“I know but I’ve never been in love before, love can really mess you up, it’s dangerous” Jess stated “I’m only 16”

“Yeah I’m only 16 too, but I know I love Jace!” Lisa stated “Carmen must feel like a right idiot!”

“Well she’s not answering my calls or txts!”

“Yeah I wouldn’t answer them either!” Lisa admitted

“Thanks for the boost of confidence; I knew I could count on you to make me feel better!” Jess snapped getting up

“Just face it Jess you got scared!”

“I didn’t get bloody scared!” Jess snapped

“What is going on?” Bette asked

“Carmen told Jess she loved her and Jess got scared and didn’t say it back!” Lisa snapped leaving the room

“I didn’t get scared2 Jess denied

“Nothing to be ashamed of if you did, I was terrified to admit I loved you Mama” Tina said sitting next to her

“I’ve never been in love before, it’s dangerous it can really hurt you and mess you up, I like the way I am just now!” Jess stated

“Love is about taking the good and the bad stuff” Bette smiled sitting at the other side

“What did you say to her?” Tina asked

“Ok I didn’t expect that!”

“You’re just like your Mum” Bette laughed

“Shut up!” Tina smirked

Jess showed them the bracelet.

“It’s beautiful” Tina smiled

“Honey I see the way you light up when you see Carmen” Bette smiled

“I do I get butterflies and everything” Jess smiled “But she’s like so much more grown up in the head than me, and I honestly don’t know why she puts up with me, someone better will come along and then she’s gone”
