Picture Perfect (A TJ Bell Story)

Chapter 10 - Deathbeds

-Weeks Later-

[Georgette's POV]

Farren had less than 2 months now, and it was breaking my heart.

We've become such good friends.

I've been hanging out a lot with Farren and Camille these past few days. 

Turns out, even the Alexandria boys knew what was going on, and was sworn to secrecy, and had also volunteered at first to take care of Celeste.

As much as we love them..... Not a very bright idea......

But Celeste has also spent time with me and TJ.

We've gone to movies, the park, took her to Boardwalk, out to eat, basically anything we could think of.

She's a really great kid. 

That night I was asleep when I felt a tug on my sheet.

I looked up sleepily and see it was Celeste.

"Hey, sweetie," I yawned. "What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep," she said. 

"Why?" i asked, sitting up and rubbing my eyes a bit then looking at the time.

1:30 AM

"I had a bad dream," she said, clutching to a teddy bear.

"Oh," I said in understanding, then pulled her onto my lap, waking up TJ.

"Wha- What happened?" she said sleepily propping himself up on his elbows since he was asleep on his stomach.

"CJ had a bad dream," I said, hugging Celeste.

TJ looked up worriedly at us. 

"CJ, come here," he said and CJ crawled over into TJ's arms.

"Look, whatever happened in the dream, its all that it is. A dream in your head. Most of the time it never happens," TJ said.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah. There are good dreams, and there are bad dreams. Just remember that," TJ said with a smile.

"Can I still sleep with you guys?" she asked.

I smile and nodded and TJ smiled.

"Yeah, come on," he said as he laid her down so she wasn't uncomfortable between us and we soon got settled.

It wasn't long after we all fell asleep that the phone rang.

It was Ricky.

[Farren's POV]

I was up late, and just smiling at a Polaroid picture of me, TJ, and Celeste at the park.

All of a sudden, i felt a horrible pain in my chest.

"Ahh," I said as I winced.

I got out of bed with a hard thud and stumbled to the bathroom.

I looked in the mirror and saw i was covered in sweat, and I couldn't breathe.

"Farren?! What happened?" I hear Ricky's voice shout.

"R-Rick..." i croaked before I felt a cough come and next thing I know, blood splattered all over the sink. I tried to black it and now blood was in my hands.

I gasp in horror as the pain moved to my head and i yelped in pain as I clutched to my head.

I felt the picture crumble in my fist as Ricky tried to think of something.
