Not Too Late

VII

        ***Jc POV***

     I walked Lexi back to her friends, who were at a Troye Sivan panel. Her eyes were still a little red from crying, man, it physically hurt me to see her so broken down.

     "I see them," She said suddenly, pointing at a very happy and laughing group. Confused, I stop her and turn to her.

     "Wait, she doesn't look like she knows she has a brain tumor," I say, referring to Belle, who was laughing her ass off with her friends.

"Well," Lexi says, looking down, "I haven't told her yet."

My eyes widen, "When are you planning on telling her? The day she goes to the doctor and finds out by herself? 'Oh yeah sorry about your brain tumor and everything, but actually I already found out a while back.'"

She sighs. "It's not the right time now. I'll tell her back at the house."

Suddenly, Kian, Ricky, and Trevor walk up behind us.

"Sup, lovebirds" Kian says, smirking at out intertwined hands.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Trevor says to Lexi. He could tell something was taunting her, as could I. Lexi looked at me, and then took out her phone and started texting.

Ding!

My phone buzzed, and taking it out, I realized that Lexi had been texting me, on the down low, so they can't eavesdrop.

The message read, he deserves to know.

I nodded my head, and diverted Kian and Ricky, who were having a burp contest, saying that we needed to to a meetup.

I walked away from a very confused Trevor and a very sad Lexi, I wanted to stay so bad, but I knew she had the capability to take care of this.

****Lexi POV****
"What's going on, Lex?" Trevor asks me, worry haunting his eyes.

"I have bad news, Trev," I start to say, "you better sit down." I point at a bench, and he sits. I sit next to him.

"You remember when Belle fell off her penny a little while back, right?" I ask him.

He chuckles. "Yeah. She called me later that day and told me what happened. She was so embarrassed."

"Well, the cerebral tests came back from the hospital. I don't know how to put this, but," I pause, looking at his face.

He frowns. "What happened?"

"Trev, she has a brain tumor."

He stiffens. "You're lying." He says. "It can't be true."

"I'm so sorry, Trevor," I say sympathetically.

He gets up, running his hands through his hair. His eyes start to well up.

"Why isn't she telling me this herself?" He asks loudly, almost yelling.

"She doesn't know," I explain.

He sits back down, and puts his head in his hands. He lets out a huge sob, making everyone within a 20 ft radius look back at us.

"How...how much time does she have?" He asks quietly, through sniffles.

"I don't know. But we have to make her last days incredible."

"Where is she?" He says, drying his eyes.

"Over there," I say, pointing at the group, "why?"

Without saying a word, he gets up, runs towards her, as fast as he can. She sees him, smiles, and starts to say his name when he finally gets to her, hugging her tightly. She hugs him back, confused, when he pulls away from the hug, leans in and kisses her. In front of everybody.

They all cheer, an I walk towards them.

"Atta girl!" McKenna says, laughing at the still kissing Trev and Belle.

"Woohoo!" Lacey yells.

They pull away, Belle furiously blushing, and we all laugh.

Suddenly, Jc walks up to me from behind, startling me.

"Aw, Trevvys got a girlfriend," he teases, and puts his arm around me, pecking my cheek.

"Hey," he whispers in my ear, "my names Jc, and we met at the club a while back. You gave me herpes," he says, smirking.

I laugh, push him off, but not before he sneaks in a kiss.

"Ooh, Lexi got in on the action!" James exclaims.

We all laugh, and head over to Chipotle for dinner, since we missed lunch.

Jc takes my hand, and we happily walk towards the restaurant, everyone chit cantering about the long day at VidCon.

--back at the house--

I changed into my pajamas, a large black t shirt with "sleep is for the weak" on it, and some fuzzy pink shorts.

"Quite an eventful day," Belle says, stretching out on her bed, in an extra extra large Harry potter t shirt.

"Bells, I have some bad news," I tell her, siting at the foot of the bed.

"Let me guess. You and Jc hooked up, and now you're pregnant. Geez girl! Get to know the guy before you "give him your flower"" she jokes.

"I'm serious"

She looks at me, worried," what's wrong?"

I explain everything. Her face falls, her eyes water, she looks at me in disbelief.

"I...have...a brain tumor?" She asks me quietly.

"Hon, I'm so sorry," I console her, giving her a huge hug.

She gets up, and walks out the door. I guess she needs to be alone, so I let her.

Eventually, I fell asleep, the essence of Belle nowhere to be found.

***[ A/N: I'm having so much fun writing this! Sorry about the feels. By the way, this is VidCon of next year, so Trevor and Jc are a year older then they are now. Just letting you know!] ***
