Georgie  and Drea connect the jewels... it doesn't  work AU version  of The End or Just The Beginning

This is pretty sad guys I honestly  don't  even know why I wrote this tbh but since you  wanted to see it.

TW: Major Character death and ptsd

Also I'm  debating  on doing  a AU what if story  about  what could have happened  like this would anyone be interested? Let me know

"Drea help me put them together now!" Georgie  says tiredly  placing the three stones together as one. 

"Nothing happened…" Georgie says in disbelief. That's  when the glow knocked them back harshly "forget I said that…" Georgie  says painedly before both she and Drea checked their clocks it was nine o one. Were they to late? Georgie  got her answer when a calling  pulled her in.

……….

She was in Central Park and it was dark. Georgie  takes a look around, it was oddly silent and Georgie  did not like it one bit she saw a newspaper  and carefully  grabbed it. Looking  at the headline. 828ers dies tragically all over the world. The curse is finally  gone. " Georgie sighs looking  above her seeing two others standing  beside her. 

"This can not be happening. Georgie  we were too late!" Olive calls out as Georgie  just looks at Olive  and then to the little girl below her who was hugging  onto her leg.

"Aunt Georgie  Daddy's  not coming home is he?"Georgie
 Eden asks quietly  as Georgie  shook her head feeling  like crying  the young girl  would never know her family  in person. 

No Eden, no he won't!" Georgie  says quietly  this time not coming up with anything  to make the child look on the bright side. Georgie  had failed. She had failed so badly. She had failed Eden and Olive, and all the passengers on that plane. Ben was right; everything  she had gotten into never turned out right. She should have just left it be. 

…….

Georgie?" Drea says getting  increasingly worried as she couldn't  tell if this was because of a calling or because  she had hit her head. She also had no idea if they had done it or not. She then realizes the far off look in Georgie  eyes and sighs in relief at the tell tale sign of a calling. That's  when Georgie  came out of it.

"It didn't  work  Drea, I don't know  if  we got the calling  wrong or we just didn't  connect  them in time, but we didn't  make it in time. By the looks of what the paper said they spontaneously  combusted"  Georgie  says quietly  as Drea sighs.

"That explains  those burn marks on you." Drea says as Georgie  just looks at where Drea was looking at. What burn mark. She wasn't  actually  there, why would she have burn marks.

"What burn…" Georgie  started as Drea gently  touched Georgie's  exposed arm, Georgie  flinched back at the searing pain. Great, another injury that would leave a scar  "Ow Drea that hurts very badly." Georgie  says as Drea quickly withdraws her hand as not to hurt Georgie  anymore. 

"Come on, let's get home before  one of us freezes to death." Drea says as she helps Georgie  up both heading  out of the cave and ascending the snowy bank having  major difficulties  as both were sore and hurting.

They eventually  made it up the slope as best as they could although  both had a struggle it was so cold and the snow kept on keeping  them down. We did it without  dying or freezing. Let's  get home. I have a feeling  they need us at home." Drea says growing  increasingly  worried  since Georgie  hadn't  said anything  at all. Since they were in the cave. There was no emotion  on her face she just looked so  tired and honestly  that worried Drea a lot. Georgie  was so strong,  but had this broken her. 

"Hey G it's  going  to be okay. None of this was your fault  you know that right Drea  asks gently  placing her hand on Georgie's  scarred and frostbite one. Trying  to offer some comfort  and bring  her out of her own mind. 

Drea understood Georgie  was upset they had worked their butts off to save their friends now  all that work was for nothing  it honestly  felt so unreal not to mention  Georgie  now had all custody  of Eden. It was Georgie's worst fears and nightmares  coming  true, but she knew Eden couldn't  see Georgie  like this. Eden looked up to Drea, but Georgie  was her favorite. And if Georgie  was totally hopeless  Eden would be too.

Drea wasn't  use to being  the strong one Georgie  had always taken that role and Drea was honestly  glad, but now it was her turn to be strong and draw Georgie  out from this state before  getting  home Eden needed the tough Georgie  more than ever right now. She needed the one who knew exactly  what to do in every  situation.

"Georgie  it is not your  fault  we worked as hard as we could and I know it's hard to be strong, they were like family to you. They were to me too, but Eden needs us. Olive  needs us. Even though  she's  nineteen  she still needs someone in her life. We are those people  Grace wanted if anything  happened  because  you are strong, brave and kind. You have your head firmly  placed on your shoulders and she knew you would overcome this." Drea says qui8 as she heard Georgie  sighs. Drea knew if she wasn't  frozen and dehydrated tears would  be falling  from her eyes.

"I can't  do this Drea, I can't  be a parent  to this kid. Not when everything  we do is wrong. She is so sad and she never got to meet her family except  through  video chat. This was not how this was supposed to end." Georgie  says quietly  as Drea nods.

"I know it wasn't. It was our worst nightmare  come true, but they need us to be strong. We have custody  of Eden now we have to help her get through  this." Drea told Georgie  who nodded slowly  in agreement. 

"Us?" Georgie  question quietly  as Drea nods.

"Of course, we need each other as a team. It's  you and me forever  sister. No matter how much we dislike it." Drea says a little playfully  as Georgie  sighs in relief  at not being alone during  this time.

"Thanks D. I just have no idea how to get through  this. I have no money. You lost your job and were raising a five year old. I have no idea how we're going  to get through." Georgie  says as Drea sighs.

"The way we always do."
