Alicia had finished her shift and returned home at 6pm. She had stopped previously at the shops to get the girls some pizza and chocolate to make them feel better. She didn't think jess would accept it though. Jasmine didn't know what happens and it was to be kept that way.
"Hey girls, how was school".
"Fine" jess said in a huff.
"It was great! I loved seeing all my friends" said jasmine excitedly. "What's up with jess, mum?"
"She's just a teenager" replied Alicia
Jess just glared at her.
They sat down and ate their tea and after finished any homework they needed to do. By this time it was 8pm. The girls both got showered and dried their hair ready for bed.
"Jess?" Said Alicia calling her from downstairs. "Come down please?"
Jess felt as if she had to come down and she could hear the cracks in her mums voice sounding as if she was about to cry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for drinking all the time, I'm sorry for..."
Jess cut her off.
"Mum stop saying sorry. It's fine. It's your way of taking your mind off things. I was upset this morning but I'd been thinking in school and I've realised you just need time to yourself. And about last night..."
"Yeah... Sorry. You didn't see anything did you?"
"No. Oh my god imagine if I did" cringed jess!
Alicia just laughed and they just cuddled together on the sofa.
