TJ and Drea have things in common, the main one being the Stone's main confidants and also the ones who think rationally. One night when TJ had a breakdown all the way in Cairo. Drea is honestly surprised that TJ calls her. Takes place before Finding the truth prt four
Sorry it's short but but I had to write this idea down
Drea knew who TJ was; he was the one who kept Ben Ston sane. Pretty much the same job that she had with Michaela and Georgie. She had been introduced to TJ by Olive who was obviously in love with the man despite their technical age difference.
He was quite a lot like Drea, and Drea could tell a fake smile from a mile away. She knew her own tricks, the tricks of the terrified taking on the face of the brave. Because someone had too otherwise everything would fall apart. Georgie did it too if they didn't the Stone's would be crazy especially now.
Drea did not know TJ too well, so that's why she was surprised when a phone number from Cairo video called her. "Hello, who is this?" Drea asks worriedly ready to break the phone if it was needed
"Hey um it's me TJ I really didn't think you would actually answer. " TJ rambles, his usual sense of composure mostly gone. Drea just looks at him.
"Of course I answered. I know a scammer wouldn't want to video chat. I am confused at why you called me though." Drea says and TJ sighs.
"Because I know you would understand me. I see the forced confidence in you. It's something I do and Drea. I hate to admit this, but I need someone to talk to and I know I can trust you." TJ says and Drea offers a small smile before looking at Georgie who was playing with Eden before heading to her room Nala hot on her tail.
"What is it bud?" Drea asks and TJ looks at her, the nineteen year old looks at her worriedly. Before pulling out a piece of very old paper with handwriting on it. Drea read through it trying to make out the that she once knew. "TJ I might have once been able to read these, but I can't anymore. What does it say?" Drea asks quietly and TJ sighs.
"Things are going to continue to get worse before they get better. You know that last trial I sent to the fam year ago? Well I found another one and by what the callings are telling me there is another guy called Jailbreaker coming after you." TJ warns and Drea instantly knows who TJ was talking about, Eagen.
"That can't be the only reason you called me. I can sense it in your voice." Drea says quietly before looking around her soundproofed room. "My room is soundproof, no one can hear what we're talking about and Nala and I have a rule. What happens in this room stays in this room. No one else will know I promise." Drea says and takes a large breath.
"I just want all this to be over. My strong facade is nearly broken. I've been through heck since I've gotten off that plane, accused for murder, nearly killed in a fire, I had to move here. I'm still dealing with talking Ben down and you know from experience that is not an easy task." TJ says and Drea nods in understanding she felt that.
"Yeah I get that, I'm about at that point too I mean how many car wrecks and gunshots wounds are one too many. I'm the eldest out of my three friends. I feel like it's my job to protect them… Drea started before TJ interrupted.
"But how can you continue when you're beaten and bruised?" TJ said and Drea nodded.
"Yeah exactly, Nala is the only one I can talk to about some of the stuff I hear and she is my main support system. I can't even imagine not having her. How do you do it without anyone?" Drea asks quietly.
"I don't know its honestly so hard sometimes and today I just needed someone to talk to I'm sorry if I bothered you Miss Mikami." TJ says and Drea just shook her head.
"It's fine you can call me anytime and please just call me Drea. I hate formalities." Drea says and TJ nods.
"Okay, thank you Mis… Drea… it was nice talking to you again. I have to go now bye." TJ says and Drea nods.
"Bye Morrison stay safe and strong." Drea mutter before hearing shooting and ducks. "Everyone get down!" She calls out she hated her life
