Picture Perfect (A TJ Bell Story)

Chapter 6 - A Day with Celeste

[TJ's POV]

Its been days. Days since I arrived to Scranton.

Almost about 2 weeks to say.

Georgette and I decided to stay a month in Scranton.

Craig was considering to come with Kevin and Robert soon.

I only told them some stuff is going on and I needed my friends.

Farren is down to almost 3 months left and I wish I can say she's was doing better.

She's stopped eating, and had to one night spend it in the ER after water seeped into her lungs.

She's fine at the moment, but I wish she would try to eat something at least.

I grow more and more worried everyday and I feel like I can't even sleep because I'm afraid to get a nightmare or recieve that call that'll tell me she passed too soon than expected.

Celeste is staying with Ghost and Kylie so she wouldn't see her mother withering away.

I still haven't told her how I'm her real father. I still haven't figured out why. I think Farren should tell her, well, both of us, since its best.

Georgette and I are spending some time with Celeste today.

Basically some time to get to know my kid.

I woke up with Georgette. We stayed with MIW at the band house.

"Good morning," I said to her.

"Good morning," she murmured. "Ready?"

I nodded as we got up and went downstairs to see Allie and Ryan making breakfast, so we sat down.

"So what are you guys planning to do with Celeste today?" Ryan asked.

I shrugged and looked at Georgette.

"Maybe a day at the beach and some lunch somewhere," she suggested.

"Celeste does like the beach," Allie shrugged.

"Then beach it is," Ryan smiled.

Georgette and I got into our swimsuits, our clothes over them, packing some stuff before driving over to Ghost's place.

We knock on the door and see Ghost open.

"Hey, I'm guessing you guys are going to the beach?" he asked.

"Georgette decided," I said.

"Kylie!" Ghost called as we walked in, seeing Celeste eating Lucky Charms.

"Yeah?" Kylie said from the kitchen.

"We have guests," Ghost said.

"Hi," Celeste waved at us.

"Hey Celeste," I said. "You want to come to the beach with us?"

"Okay," she said, then saw Georgette.

"Who awe you?" she asked curiously, and Georgette smiled.

"I'm TJ's girlfriend. Its very nice to meet you, Celeste," Georgette said.

"I like your hair," Celeste said. "Red is my favorite color!"

"Aww, thank you!" Georgette giggled.

"CJ, let's get you in your swimsuit," Kylie said.

Celeste followed Kylie and it was just Me, Georgette, and Ghost.

"She really looks so much like you," Georgette said with a smile.
