Family [Jessie J]

Chapter 6

*Jessie's pov*

After making Danny promise that he'd never leave me, Ellen insisted that she redid my make up. It turns out that she's a trained beautician. She's a girl of many talents, unlike me. She got A* in all her GSCEs too, any one would think I'd be jealous with my two As and a million fails but I'm not. I'm proud of her. Ellen. The girl who lost her family, the girl who got moved around a lot, the girl who didn't have a good life by the sounds of it but she still got all her grades. I'm the proudest sister on this planet.

Ellen wouldn't let me look in the mirror whilst she was doing my makeup and didn't let Danny look at all. By the reaction Danny gave it really was amazing what Ellen could do with a bit of make-up. "Jess you look... You just... Wow. You look beautiful. You are beautiful." He blushed completely gobsmacked. I'm glad I'm wearing make up because I could feel the heat rising in my face.

"Jess babe, you may be wearing make-up but it's natural and very light so watch your blushing." Ellen whispered in my ear. "Of course she does Danny. She doesn't even need the make-up." She spoke to Danny.

"See Jess? I'm not the only one that thinks so." Danny pointed out.

"What you've told her this?" Ellen sounded surprised.

"Serval times. Especially when we're waiting for her to do her make up." Ellen smirked. She must know that I have a crush on Danny. I mean, who doesn't, it's obvious Ellen used too.

"Well she is here you know?" I spoke emphasising the she and I needed to change the subject too before I started pouring my heart out to Danny.

"Yeah sorry Jess. Next time we'll leave the room." Ellen poked her tongue out at me.

"There won't be a next time." I said sternly.

"You wanna bet?" Ellen asked.

"Ye-"

"Wait!" Danny interrupted me. Both Ellen and I glared at him and that made me smile. "Jess, when you make a bet with Ellen, there's no going back." Danny warned.

"You mean... Just like me?" I asked. I never turn down a bet or a dare and I will stick to them.

"Well... Yeah... But I don't want you to lose." Danny mumbled, blushed and looked down at his feet whereas I shyly smiled.

"You think I'm gonna lose?" I asked as Ellen walked around behind Danny and pointed at him madly. She knows. She knows I have a crush on him.

"I just don't want you to get hurt." Danny mumbled and blushed even brighter. My face softened and a proper smile formed on my face whilst Ellen was pretending to throw up behind him.

"Thanks Dan. Will you do something for me?" I asked with a new smirk on my face.

"Anything." Danny smiled. Ellen was dying behind him.

"Turn around for me?" I asked sweetly. Ellen's eyes widened as she was spread over the floor behind him.

"Okay..." Danny held on to the 'ay'. He slowly turned around whilst Ellen was giving me death glares. "What the actual fuck? Ellen what are you doing on the floor?" I was finding it hard to suppress my laughter at this point.

.

"Me? Oh errrm... I lost the back of my earing." She turned to look at me. If looks could kill.

"You don't have your ears pierced." Danny pointed out.

"Don't I? Oh errrrmm...." I couldn't contain my laughter any more and released it all.

"Danny leave her alone! She can't help being the way she is." I poked my tongue out at her.

"I'll get you back schlampe." Ellen growled.

"And what the fuck does that mean?" Danny asked.

"It's German. Google it." Ellen stated simply with a smirk in her face now stood up. I took out my phone and googled it.

"Bitch." I poked my tongue out at her again.

"What does it mean?" Danny asked confused, Ellen and I just laughed. "What?! I don't see what's so funny."

"It means bitch Dan. You're still crap with German then?" Ellen teased.

"It's not my fault you had all the brains." Danny defended.

We all sat down for our meal in Pizza Express. Chris and Allyson came too which I was grateful for. Will and Tom were also there. "Ellen, what do you do for a living?" I asked out of curiosity wanting to know my sister a lot better.

*Ellen's pov*

"Well, I left school after A levels and went to Plymouth to get a teachers degree because Chris and Allyson wanted me to have a sturdy foundation but it's really not what I wanted to do. So when I finished I left for America and in search of job to be a producer like Claude Kelly. You're sooo lucky to work with him, I got to work with him once and he said I should do something with my voice instead of playing around with everyone else's.... Anyway it didn't work out and I was dropped from the label." I sighed. Being in the music industry is all I ever wanted to do because I always knew it would bring Jess and I back together. I know I should be grateful for getting through to The Voice, but I'd much rather prefer to be a producer.

"Babe, I'm sorry." Jess apologised squeezing my hand on top of the table. I felt Lewie's hand slide slightly higher up my thigh and I had to swallow to keep back the noise that was threatening to come out.

"It's okay. I'm here now babe." I smiled at her and carried on with my story. "But I published some photos that I took on a website and The Sun scouted me and I became a pap..." I got quieter towards the end. I know how much paps annoy big stars and there's four of them sat around this table.

"It's okay babe. Someone has got to do it." Jess spoke after a while of silence.

"I hated it and I wish I never said yes to it. The only one of you guys I ever got was Will but I destroyed it."

"Why? What was I doing?" He asked panicking.

"You'd just gone platinum with your single and I only wrote positive and truthful articles. You then elbowed me in the ribs and hospitalised me for two months so destroying it was a payback I guess." I spoke casually. I felt Jess' hand tighten on mine. "After that, Allyson made me quit but I still take photos and publish them, just not of you guys and your lives. It's gets boring after a while, poking your noses into other peoples private business. The only reason I said yes was because then maybe I'd get a chance to be close to you."

"You know, Hannah is very handy with a camera too. I really don't know where you guys get it from. You're all so arty and creative but I'm not and he definitely isn't." Mum spoke gesturing over to Steve. I giggled like Jess did, which only made me smile more. My life was finally looking better. I was starting to see a future with the family I have sitting around this table. I just hope I don't fuck things up like normal.
