Picture Perfect (A TJ Bell Story)

Chapter 24 - Dreams

[TJ's POV]

Its been two days and CJ is still asleep. She's basically alright, but they think the effects were pretty strong so the medicine they gave her was a little strong.

The hospital had allowed Pickles to come see her, since he's been sick from not seeing her, and hasn't left her side since Ricky brought him here.

Georgette and I have basically slept over here for any hopes of her waking up.

Only thing, I barely ever slept these past two nights.

Right now, Georgette had gone to get me food as I sat next to CJ.

I sighed and held her tiny hand in mine.

"When we get out of here, you, me, Georgette, and even Pickles are going to Orlando, so we can see DisneyWorld, and Universal Studios," I said. "And, you're gonna meet Mickey Mouse, and, and go on the Minions ride, and then have your birthday party when we come back, in Scranton. Monster High, just how you like it," I chuckled half-heartedly as she slept.

She seemed so peaceful and relaxed, like she was just sleeping regularly.

Pickles whimpered and buried himself into her side as he tried to sleep.

"I know, Buddy," I said as I pet his head.

Just then, Georgette walked in with a bag of food.

"Babe, you can't stay awake forever. You need to sleep," Georgette said.

"She might wake up, I don't want to-"

"And I will wake you up. Just rest, TJ, she'll be okay, I'll watch her," Georgette said.

I sighed, giving in. "Alright," I said, as then the door opened and ETF walked in.

"Hey," Craig said. "How is she doing?"

"Her breathing is competely back to normal," Georgette said. "They got her off the breather this morning."

"That's good," Kevin said as they walked up to her side.

That's when Robert pulled something out of a bag he was carrying.

A Living Dead doll.

He knelt down and placed it in her arm.

I smiled. "Got used to them?"

He shrugged. "So long as they have at least one eye," he chuckled. "Anything for little Simba here."

I smiled as he ruffled her hair a little and got up, letting Craig and Kevin set down some flowers and balloons.

"Teej, get some sleep, pal, you look like hell," Craig said.

I sighed and nodded, then MIW, Ryan Ashley, Kylie, Allie, and Sabrina walked in, followed by a large mound of stuffed animals walked in.

"How is she?" Ryan said.

"Doing better," I smiled.

"Thank goodnesss she's out of that breather," Ghost said, whispering as they all left toys, candy, balloons, and flowers nearby.

The toy pile collapsed and revealed Ricky.

"As if she didn't have enough toys," I laughed.

He laughed. "Anything to make her feel better," he smiled.

I nodded and yawned before just laying back on the bed chair and falling asleep, feeling a blanket cover me as everyone got settled.

*dream*

I woke up to a bright light and saw I was laying down outside.

I scrunched my eyebrows together and sat up, seeing I... was in the park...

The same park me and Farren told Celeste I was her real father.

Only... there were flowers.... blue flowers like the ones I've kept seeing everywhere.

"You're doing great," a familiar voice spoke.

I turned and was surprised by whk stood there.

"Farren," I said.

She looked healthy now, and had color to ger skin, her hair long and think like I remembered before she lost all of it. She wore a long white dress, and had big white feathery wings behind her back, and white flowers in her hair, smiling at me as she walked up towards me.

She laughed and held her hand up to me.

I took it and hoisted myself up and hugged her.

She chuckled and hugged me back.

"Farren, it's so good to see you again," I said.

"Its so good to see you again, too," she smiled.

I held her face in my hands. "You look healthy... Amazing," I smiled.

She shrugged. "I guess that's what Afterlife does to you," she giggles.

I smiled, then frowned. "Its my fault she almost died, i should have-"

"TJ, don't," she stopped me. "This isn't your fault. She's going to be okay."

"But..." I said, and she placed her fingers over my mouth gently.

"TJ, you are an amazing father," she said. "You've given her an amazing life, taken good care of her, protected her, loved her so much. You and Georgette."

I looked up at

"Nothing will ever change how a great father you've been, and always will be," she said.

I smiled as she leaned up and kissed my cheek, making me smile.

"I'll always be with you all," she said.

I smiled and leaned in, kissed her forehead. "I won't lie... I never stopped loving you either."

She smiled as we hugged tightly.

"I miss you," I mumbled, feeling tears in my eyes as her wings sort of wrapped around us.

"I miss you, too," she said.

Soon everything started to fade to white.

**end of dream**

"TJ, hey, wake up," I heard Georgette say.

"Is the crying?"

I groaned and my eyes open to see Georgette's face hovering a bit over me.

"Hmm.... What-What happened?" I yawned.

"She's waking up, TJ," she said.
