"Gosh, I miss you, I wish you were here, Dad. Well, not exactly here.Now, what would you do if you were me?" Tessa asks the photo of her father lying alone while Georgie was still talking to her friends. She knew her father would want her to follow her dreams like he did, but she would lose her dad's repair shop if she did. She sighs though Georgie and her friend were right, this was her big chance she had to take it.
At that moment Georgie comes in with her headphones on and two puppies follow. Georgie just gives a smile before sitting down on her bed opening her locket and looking at the pictures in it. Letting out a sigh of content before taking her headphones off.
"Georgie I hope you're ready to be busy tomorrow,because we're doing this." Tessa says as Georgie nods happily she was glad Tessa came back around.
"We better get some sleep then, good night Tess." Georgie says as Tessa nods, lying on the bed beside her friend's bed, eventually falling asleep.
……..
Tessa wakes up to no Georgie and sighs getting ready for the day. The play started this afternoon and Tessa was very nervous for this. She just heads to breakfast hoping Georgie would be there to calm her. Sure enough Georgie and her friends were sitting at the corner talking in hushed whispers.
"Hey guys, got room for one more?" Tessa asks as the three friends nod their silent conversation ending awkwardly.
"Good morning Tessa, are you ready for today?" Georgie asks as Tessa goes, buys nods.
"Yeah, I'm just very nervous about this afternoon." Tessa says as Georgie nods in understanding but instantly lets Lily take the lead as she was chomping on the bit and was an actual theater actress.
"Don't worry Tessa, you'll be fine. I get the feeling I remember my first play, it was the most nerve racking thing ever. Georgie can get you, she had to fix my makeup six times…" Lily says as Tessa smiles at the attempt to make her less nervous.
"It was more like seven or eight times and I remember hating that. But Lily's right, it's nothing to worry about, everyone gets nervous,but you'll do great, I believe in you." Georgie says as Lily and Ethan nod.
"We believe in you too!" Lily and Ethan says as Tessa smiles anymore Georgie's friends were a bit rowdy, but she could see why Georgie kept them around. They were really nice and supportive.
"Thank you guys so much.I really needed that." Tessa says as Georgie nods in understanding looking at her friends who smiles and look at her clock.
"No problem for you Tess, now come on let's get you ready. Lily do you have any more of those color contacts or do I need to contact Gino?" " Georgie asks as Lily grabs a a plastic box handing it to her.
"Here ya go. Good luck Tessa we'll be watching" Lily says as she and Ethan head out of the room. "Meet you at the show G" Lily says as Georgie nods, getting ready for the day ahead.
……
"Okay you're looking good." Georgie says kindly finishing up her makeup work. "You can do this Tessa." Georgie says as Tessa nods.
"Your right, I can do this, I can do this, I can do this…." Tessa started murmuring to herself in her horrible British accent as Georgie just smiled and interrupted as she still had tons of people to do makeup on.
"Yes, you can now go. I still have quite a few people to do makeup on including your step family." Georgie says as Tessa nods nervously, walking out of the makeup trailer almost bumping into Gino.
"I'm so sorry." Tessa starts as Gino just smiles waving it off.
"It's fine Georgie shoves me all the time on purpose so I'm used to it." Gino says as Tessa just smiles in relief as she starts heading to the theater with a gulp. She had to face Reed even though she really didn't want to.
"So do you have a crush on my friend?" Tessa asks as Gino nods no need to hide it, as everyone seemed to know except for Georgie herself.
"Yeah, yeah I have for quite a while. Anyways I have to go clean up before the show. Good luck Bella." Gino says with a smile before rushing off, and Tessa sighs everyone was so busy today.
………
Tessa sighs after finishing the first part of the play. Georgie was behind the scenes giving her an encouraging looks when not being busy. Tessa could hear the people cheering as Georgie gave her a touch up
"Well done, Bell. You are doing so well." Georgie says as Tessa nods and sighs, petting Iris as they were. "What's up?" Georgie asks as Tessa sighs again
"It's just... It's hard to be Cinderella when I know my Prince Charming is in love with someone else." Tessa says as Georgie just grabs one of the elastic shooting it at Tessa. "Hey what was that for?" Tessa asks
"Get a grip, and focus on what's important." Georgie says as Tessa nods. Georgie was right as usual and although she had a unique way of showing it.
"Yeah, you're right." Tessa nods letting out a breath as Georgie gently hugs her trying not to mess up the makeup.
"Go back out there, and show them who you are, okay?" Georgie says as Tessa nods, petting Iris again as she gets ready for the next scenes.
"Okay." Tessa says releasing a breath as she gets up nervously "Let's go. Okay I can do this." Tessa says as Georgie rolls her eyes. She pushes Tessa lightly with a slightly annoyed loo
"Just go you'll be fine , I have to check on my family and my friends then I'll be right back okay. " Georgie asks as Tessa nods in understanding. She pets Iris one last time before going back out on stage.
"Okay…" the show continues.
