Julie eventually finds Angelina in the music room, the blonde girl is sitting on the piano bench as she lightly presses the piano keys, playing the tune to Perfect Harmony. Julie walks up to the girl, saying, "Oh, thank God I found you. I've been looking for you everywhere." Angelina wipes away a stray tear that fell from her eye so the lifer wouldn't notice. Julie does notice the blonde's movement, however. The curly haired girl walks up to Angelina while asking, "Hey, what's wrong?" She sits down on the bench next to Angelina and places her phone on top of the piano, looking at the girl expectantly awaiting her answer.
Angelina shakes her head as she looks down at her hands before replying to Julie, "When I was watching you dance with Nick, I had a daydream about Luke. He walked through the mirror looking hot as hell as he sang to me. The both of us then proceeded to dance together as we sang this romantic song to each other. It felt so real."
Julie furrows her brows, "I don't understand. Why would that make you upset?"
Angelina sadly sighs as she looks up at Julie before responding, "Because it wasn't real. It looked real and it felt real but it wasn't. This thing between us will never happen. It's all just in my head and I am mad at myself that I can't get over this silly crush."
Julie shakes her head and assures the blonde, "But Angie, this isn't just some silly crush. He likes you just as much as you like him."
Angelina gives the lifer a sad smile before she says, "Thank you for trying to cheer me up, Julsie." Julie gives Angelina a tight lipped smile as the blonde continues, "But I can't let anything happen between us. I can't let anything risk the future of the band. I need to just focus on the band and on our music."
Julie sighs and lets the topic go as Angelina looks down at her lap. It is quiet for a couple seconds before Julie asks, "Can you play a little bit of this romantic song that you and Luke sang in your daydream?" Angelina smiles over at the lifer as she nods her head and starts to play the tune of Perfect Harmony.
Julie smiles over at Angelina as Flynn walks in and throws her hands up into the air before saying, causing Angelina to stop playing and both girls to look over at Flynn, "There you are. I've been looking all over for you." Flynn walks over to the chair that is next to the piano as she continues, "Why'd you run out of dance class so fast?"
Julie shakes her head and turns to Flynn as she answers her best friend, "Sorry. Angelina rushed out of the room upset and I had to make sure she was okay."
Flynn perks up and asks her best friend, "Is she here right now?" Julie nods her head as she points over her shoulder at Angelina with her thumb. Flynn smiles at the blonde and waves at her, causing Angelina to wave back. Flynn then asks, "Is she okay? What happened?"
Julie glances over her shoulder at Angelina, who gives the girl a nod, allowing the curly haired girl to tell Flynn. Julie turns back to Flynn and explains, "She was thinking about Luke the whole time during the dance."
Flynn's smile grows on her face as she squeals, "I knew it! It is so obvious. You both have a very strong connection on stage and it shows." Angelina sighs and puts her head in her hands as she plops her elbows on the piano keys, causing Flynn to jump at the loud noise.
Julie shakes her head at Angelina before telling Flynn, "She is in denial about Luke's feelings for her. She wants to focus on her music more than the potential relationship she could have with the cute brown haired boy."
Flynn smiles sadly at Angelina and nods her head. She quickly changes the topic, "Well speaking about feelings and relationships," Angelina removes her elbows from the piano and looks over at Flynn, "I saw you and Nick after the dance. It was a little intense in there. And dancing with a guy you've had a crush on for forever will do that to a girl." Angelina lets out a groan as she puts her head back into her hands and plops her elbows back onto the piano keys. Flynn jumps again at the noise and Julie subtly nods her head, telling the girl not to ask. Flynn shrugs her shoulders and adds, "And now Nick totally likes you!"
Julie scrunches up her face and says, "I was thinking the same thing."
Flynn nods her head and tells Julie, "Okay, here's what we're gonna do." She leans over to grab Julie's phone off of the piano. She starts to text Nick and continues talking, "Send Nick a nice little friendly text asking him to come to your party tonight." Julie leans forward and Flynn shows her the text she wrote out for Nick.
Julie furrows her brows and says, "Um, I usually don't use that many smiley faces."
Flynn cocks her head at her best friend, who sits back up straight as Flynn retorts, "You do now." Flynn looks over to where Angelina is sitting and tells her, "And Angelina," the blonde looks over at the lifer as she leaves her elbows resting on the piano, "If you are serious about focusing on your music, then when you are performing with Luke tonight, all you have to do is avoid those big, beautiful, dead... eyes."
Angelina leans over to Julie and says, "She does know that I am dead too, right?"
Julie waves Angelina off as she tells Flynn, "You're very pushy today."
Flynn winks at the two girls and smiles while she says, "You're welcome." Angelina shakes her head and laughs at Julie's best friend.

Back at the studio, the three boys are playing music on their instruments, practicing for the gig later that night. Alex starts aggressively beating on his drums, trying to get all his anger and his frustrations out. Reggie scrunches up his face at the loud noise and Luke looks at the blonde drummer with concern written across their faces. Reggie puts his hand over his ear as Alex's playing gets louder and random, causing both bassist and guitarist to stop playing. Alex hits the cymbal and stops playing once he realizes that Luke and Reggie are no longer playing with him.
Luke cautiously approaches Alex and asks the boy as he fixes his guitar strap, "Alex, you alright?"
"Yeah," Alex replies and silences his cymbal as Reggie removes his hand from his ear. Alex looks over at the Patterson boy and continues, "Yeah. Yeah, why?"
Luke looks over at Reggie, who speaks up, "I know it's tough, man. People say you never forget your first ghost." He shrugs his shoulders and continues as Alex looks over at him, "Maybe that's true. But... I'm sure there will be others."
Alex glances away from Reggie before looking back over at him as he replies, "Yeah. Thanks, Reg."
Reggie grabs onto the strap of his bass and nods his head while saying, "Yeah."
"Yeah," Alex whispers.
Luke walks up to the drum set and rests his arms on top of the cymbal closest to him as he says, "And, Alex, you're a great drummer," he nods down at the drum set before looking back up to the blonde, "And a great guy, okay? I wouldn't let all that stuff get in between you and what you love."
Alex nods his head and looks away from Luke as Reggie speaks up, "I don't know, man." Alex and Luke look over at the raven haired boy as he continues, "Sometimes a little fire can make things better on stage." Reggie looks over at Luke and points to the boy while telling him, "Like you and Ang."
Reggie grabs the strap of his bass as Luke looks over at Alex before turning his head back to Reggie, denying, "Uh, wha... What is that supposed to mean?"
Alex smiles over at Luke as Reggie chuckles and says, "Come on. Everyone can see the way you look at her when you sing." Reggie closes his eyes and raises his hand, "You guys ooze chemistry."
Reggie opens his eyes as Alex points at him and says, "You should never say ooze again," he looks over at Luke and stands up, "But, yeah, I agree."
Luke takes off his guitar and looks between the two boys as he waves his arm around while saying, "Okay, no. I have chemistry with everybody that I sing with." He puts his guitar down on the stand before looking over at Reggie, who raises his brows and gives a knowing look over to Alex. Luke looks over at Alex, who is smiling at Reggie with a knowing look on his face. The blonde looks over at Luke, causing the boy to look over at Reggie and throw up his hands before as he stutters, "S-Seriously, watch. Uh..." He throws out his hand again and moves toward Reggie as he sings to the raven haired boy.
Luke
I believe, I believe that we're just one dream
Luke shakes his head and stares into Reggie's eyes.
Away from who we're meant to be
Reggie quickly glances down at Luke's lips before looking back into the brown haired boy's eyes. Luke grabs the back of Reggie's neck, pulling the boy's head a little closer before he shakes his head as he sings.
That we're standing on the edge of
Great
"Wow," Alex says as he nods his head before he shakes it and adds, "I see chemistry."
Reggie's eyes widen as he nods his head, Luke's hand still on the back of the raven haired boy's neck. The Peters boy gulps and his voice cracks, "That was pretty hot." Luke removes his hand from Reggie's neck before kissing his pointer and middle fingers and putting them up against Reggie's lips. Luke walks away as Reggie blinks a few times before his mouth drops in shock. The raven haired boy recovers as he clears his throat, bringing his bass back up to his front as he says, throwing up his left hand and looking between Luke and Alex, "Girls. Am I right?"
Luke looks over at Reggie after he picks up his guitar and replies, "Yeah." Luke lifts his guitar strap over his head to rest it on his body.
Alex, now sitting at his drum set, leans forward and responds, "No." Alex leans back, getting comfortable before counting them in, "Three, four." The boys start to play their instruments again, practicing for the party later that night.
â¢â¢â¢
Later that night at the party, all the lifers are outside the studio, mingling as Ray sets up a camera to record the performance so Julie can put it on YouTube. Inside the studio, Angelina is wearing a long sleeved black crop top that ties in the front, denim shorts, and black knee high heeled boots as she nervously paces back and forth. Luke looks over at the blonde girl with a look of worry on his face. Julie walks up to the blonde and asks, "Is everything okay?"
Angelina stops pacing to look at Julie before she nods and replies, "I'm just nervous, that's all. Is it strange for me to be nervous? This isn't the first time I've performed so I don't know why I'm so nervous all of a sudden."
Julie looks at Angelina sympathetically, "Maybe it's because my dad is filming this performance and is gonna put it on YouTube? If we go viral, like I'm hoping, then millions of people will see it. Maybe that's why you're nervous. You've never performed for that many people before." Angelina nods her head, agreeing with Julie. Another thought pops into Julie's head, causing the girl to whisper, "Or maybe, it's because this is the first time you are going to sing with Luke after what happened at school today."
Angelina heavily sighs and starts pacing again, "Why did you have to bring that up Julsie? Now I'm even more nervous."
Julie smiles apologetically and replies, "Sorry. I'll sing Power of Two with you to cheer you up."
Angelina stops pacing again and looks at Julie, laughing out, "No, no. I'm fine. I just have to shake out my nerves and power through it." Angelina starts to jump in place and shake out her nerves, causing Julie to join the blonde Mercer girl. Both girls start laughing and when their laughter dies down Angelina says, "Okay, let's do this before my nerves take over again." Angelina's words cause Julie to let out another laugh.
Thankfully Flynn speaks to the crowd, introducing the band, "What's up, everybody. Time to put your hands up, do a little dance, yup. Here's the new anthem from Julie and the Phantoms." The people in the crowd cheer and clap, excited to hear the new anthem from the hologram band.
The doors to the studio open and Julie walks forward to the piano. Angelina lets out a heavy breath before jumping as a hand is placed on her shoulder. She looks over at the culprit, who speaks up as a swarm of butterflies attacks her stomach, "Hey, what's wrong? Are you feeling okay?"
Angelina nervously replies, "What? No, yeah. I'm all good. Couldn't be any better." Luke furrows his brows and looks at Angelina confused. The blonde girl awkwardly chuckles before adding as she pats the hand that is still resting on her shoulder, "We're gonna rock this." She walks away before he could reply, leaving behind a very confused ghost.
Angelina grabs her guitar off the stand before getting on top of the drummer's platform. Alex, who witnessed the awkward conversation between his twin and best friend, asks the girl with concern, "Are you sure you're okay?"
Angelina looks up at her twin once she has her guitar situated, "Hm? Oh, yeah. Never better." Alex knows Angelina like the back of his hand, so he can tell when the girl is lying. Instead of prying and pushing any further, he lets it go, knowing that she will tell him if and when she is ready to. She turns around on the platform and looks out at the audience, preparing to play and avoid Luke at all costs.
Julie sits down at the piano and says, "Thanks for coming, everyone." Julie takes a deep breath and nods her head. The crowd stops cheering and applauding just as the girl starts to sing.
Julie
Running from the past
Tripping on the now
What is lost can be found, it's obvious
Some people in the audience let out some cheers at the singing girl.
And like a rubber ball
We come bouncing back
We all got a second act, inside of us
The band kicks in and suddenly appears out of thin air, causing the crowd to let out gasps of shock. Julie stops playing the piano and grabs her microphone before she pushes the stand away from her. Julie stands up and starts to sing as Angelina jumps off of the platform and lands in front of her mic stand which is next to Reggie as she echoes Julie.
Julie (Angelina)
I believe (I believe)
Julie stands in front of Alex's drum set as the two girls sing, the former dancing as she looks out into the crowd and the latter smiling over at Julie.
Julie & Angelina
I believe that we're just one dream
Away from who we're meant to be
That we're standing on the edge of
Julie comes over to dance with Reggie and Angelina. The lifer and the raven haired boy are looking at each other as they dance and the blonde girl is looking out at the audience.
Something big, something crazy
Our best days are yet unknown
Julie nods to Angelina and both girls as well as Reggie, turns and dances with Alex for a little bit, causing both girls to sing from Julie's mic.
That this moment is ours to own
Luke moves forward, thinking that Angelina would come over to dance and sing with him, but Julie turns around and sings toward the audience as Angelina goes back to her mic stand. The smile falls from Luke's face as he glances back at Alex in confusion as he moves back to his mic stand before turning to sing into it.
Julie & Angelina (Reggie, Luke, & Alex)
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
Luke looks over at Angelina with his brows furrowed, very confused on why she didn't come over to him.
(On the edge of great) Great
(On the edge of great) Great
Luke turns back and looks out into the crowd as Reggie and Angelina look over at each other and smile.
(On the edge of great)
Julie leans back and spreads out her arm before she looks back out at the audience.
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
Julie comes back over and dances with Reggie as Angelina turns around to dance and play with her twin as Luke starts to sing.
Luke
We all make mistakes
But they're just stepping stones
To take us where we wanna go
Luke looks over at Angelina right as the girl makes a mistake in glancing the boy's way. The two make eye contact and Luke nods his head at the girl, telling her to come over and sing with him.
It's never straight, no
Julie and Reggie move to Alex to dance with him as Angelina awkwardly turns and goes back to her stand as her and Luke sing. Luke looks at her still confused with his brows furrowed, he doesn't understand why she is refusing to sing with him. Reggie turns around and heads back to his stand as Julie comes over to Angelina and dances with her, smiling at the girl in reassurance.
Angelina & Luke
Sometimes we gotta lean
Luke glances down at his guitar and looks back out at the crowd.
Lean on someone else
Luke looks back over at Angelina, who is smiling at Reggie and a feeling of jealousy washes over him. No longer able to look at the scene, Luke looks away from Angelina and Reggie.
To get a little help
Until we find our way
Reggie gives Angelina a confused look, asking her why she isn't over with Luke. Ignoring Reggie, Angelina moves her guitar onto her back as she pulls her microphone off its stand as the two girls make their way over to the crowd.
Julie, Angelina, & Luke
I believe, I believe that we're just one dream
The crowd cheers at the approaching girls and Reggie makes his way over to Luke. Julie and Angelina dance with the crowd as Reggie glances at the two girls before looking back at Luke, who gives Reggie his furrowed brow look.
Away from who we're meant to be
Reggie raises his eyebrow and looks over at the two girls as Luke looks over at Angelina like a wounded puppy. Reggie makes his way back over to his mic stand while Julie and Angelina are now standing in front of the piano, dancing and singing to the crowd.
That we're standing on the edge of
Something big, something crazy
Our best days are yet unknown
That this moment is ours to own
Julie moves forward and grabs Flynn's hand as she sings to the girl. Flynn smiles and shouts out cheers for the song. Angelina smiles at Flynn as she gives a knowing wink to the girl. Flynn returns the smile and nods her head, happy that the girl is taking her advice.
Julie & Angelina (Reggie, Luke, & Alex)
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
(On the edge of great) Great
(On the edge of great) Great
Angelina sits up on top of the piano, moving her guitar to her side as Julie makes her way to the piano bench.
(On the edge of great)
Julie steps onto the piano bench before she climbs on top of the piano.
'Cause we're standing on the edge of
All
Shout, shout
Julie swings her legs around on the piano.
C'mon and let it out, out
The lifer moves forward as she lets her legs dangle off of the piano, on the opposite side that Angelina is sitting on.
Don't gotta hide it
Julie leans back, her microphone in the air as she sings into it. Angelina looks over at the girl and a smile widens on her face.
Let your colors blind their eyes
Julie sits back up straight and Angelina turns her head, boht girls singing out to the crowd.
Be who you are no compromise
All
Just shout, shout
C'mon and let it out, out
Julie swings her legs around and kneels on the piano.
Julie & Angelina (Luke)
What doesn't kill you makes you feel alive (alive)
Angelina looks over at Julie, who gives the girl a nod, telling the girl that she can take the next part. Angelina smiles as she starts to sing by herself, Julie kneeling on the piano as she smiles and watches Angelina. Luke moves forward, away from his mic, determined to get Angelina to pay attention to him.
Angelina
Oh-oh-oh
Reggie and Alex stop playing but as Luke moves toward Angelina, he does a solo on his guitar as the blonde sings. Angelina looks over at Luke and ultimately gives in as she smiles at him.
I believe, I believe that we're just one dream
Luke turns his body and leans up against the piano, his eyes never leaving Angelina's. The blonde leans toward him and sings to him, causing a wide smile to spread across the brown haired boy's face.
Away from who we're meant to be
Angelina hops off of the piano as Julie sings once again, standing up on the piano and throwing out her left arm to the side.
Julie
That we're standing on the edge of great
As Julie is singing, the ghosts are singing as well. Luke walks back to his mic stand as Angelina heads back over to her twin, dancing and singing with him. Alex smiles at Angelina, glad that the bright smile is back on her face.
Alex, Luke, Angelina & Reggie
Something big, something crazy
Our best days are yet unknown
All
That this moment is ours to own
Julie & Angelina (Reggie, Luke, & Alex)
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
(On the edge of great) On the edge of great
Julie hops off of the piano as Angelina turns around and heads to the piano.
(Great, on the edge of great) On the edge
The blonde sits down on the piano and pulls the mic stand closer to her as she puts her mic on it. Julie makes eye contact with Luke and subtly nods her head toward Angelina, telling the boy to finish the song with the blonde instead of the lifer.
(Great, on the edge of great)
Luke makes his way over to the piano as Julie stands next to Luke's mic stand.
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
Julie, Angelina, Alex, & Reggie
'Cause we're standing on the edge of...
Reggie and Alex disappear, causing the crowd to gasp out in shock. Angelina turns her head and looks at Julie giving her a confused look as Luke moves his guitar to his side and sits down next to her. The blonde doesn't understand why Julie isn't next to her, the two girls are supposed to finish the song together. Julie gives the blonde an encouraging smile, but the blonde is just as confused. Angelina turns her head and sings as she starts to play the piano. She is surprised, however, when Luke sings with her. She looks over at him, not realizing that he sat down next to her.
The two ghosts make eye contact as Luke leans in close to Angelina so that the mic can pick up his voice. Julie smiles over at the two ghosts with a knowing expression on her face. The lifer makes eye contact with her best friend, who gives her a confused look. Julie just smirks knowingly at Flynn, causing the girl to understand and nod her head in agreement.
Angelina & Luke
Running from the past
Angelina smiles at Luke as he glances down at her lips. He looks back at the blonde, never wanting to look away from her beautiful eyes.
Tripping on the now
Angelina shakes her head and scrunches up her nose. Luke thinks that is the cutest thing he has ever seen her do. The two ghosts smile at each other as they finish the song.
What is lost can be found, it's obvious
The crowd cheers as they both disappear, still sitting on the piano. Julie moves forward and chuckles as she smiles at the audience and nods to them in appreciation. Luke glances down at Angelina's lips and he leans in to kiss the girl. Angelina and Luke jump apart as Reggie wraps his arms around both of them, looking between them as he shouts, "That was amazing you guys." Alex rolls his eyes and lets out an annoyed sigh.
A blush crosses Angelina's face as she realizes how close she was to Luke as she says sincerely, "Thanks, Reg."
Luke narrows his eyes at the boy and sarcastically says, "Yeah. Thanks a lot, Reginald." Reggie innocently looks over at Luke and smiles at him, oblivious to Luke's sarcasm.
â¢â¢â¢
After the party, once everyone had left and everything in the studio was put back where it was, the three Molinas and Flynn went inside for some pizza. The three ghost boys were outside the studio taking turns shooting hoops. Angelina walks through the studio doors and announces to the three boys, "I'm going to go inside. Talk to Julie for a bit before she goes to bed." The three boys nod their heads in acknowledgement.
Angelina walks past Luke, giving him a tight lipped smile as she makes her way over to the stone stairs. The three boys watch her as she walks up the stairs before she heads to the gate that leads to the front of the Molina household and walks through it. Once she makes her way to the front of Julie's house, she feels the same jolt that she has been having recently, except, this one is much worse than the previous ones. She puts her hand on her chest and gasps out in pain as she falls to her knees. When her pain subsides, she stands up and comes face to face with Willie.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" Angelina asks as she greets the boy.
Willie shakes his head and looks down to the ground, hugging himself in shame, "You are in serious trouble and it's all my fault."
Angelina walks forward and tries to get him to look at her, "Hey, hey." The long haired boy looks up at her and she continues, "What are you talking about?"
Willie hesitates before he replies, "I brought you to Caleb's club and he gave you that stamp, which is making you feel those jolts."
A scowl forms on Angelina's face as she says, "I knew there was something off about that man. He was way too creepy." Angelina's face softens as she moves forward and sets her hand on Willie's shoulder and comforts him, "It isn't your fault. You were just trying to help out new friends. You couldn't have expected Caleb to do something like that."
Willie shakes his head and looks down, "I should have known he would do something like this though." It is quiet for a minute until Willie looks back up at Angelina, "If you don't join Caleb's house band, then you are going to flicker out of existence. There is one way out of it though."
"What is it?" Angelina asks the skater boy as she removes her hand from his shoulder.
Willie replies, "You need to figure out your unfinished business, do it, and cross over. Only then will you be free from Caleb and his stamp. It probably has something to do with you, Reggie, Luke, and Alex since you all died together."
Angelina nods her head and says, "Okay, thanks for letting me know." She pauses before adding, "If you are looking for Alex, he is out by the studio shooting hoops with Luke and Reggie."
Willie smiles at Angelina and says, "Thanks." Angelina is about to leave when Willie speaks up, "Why aren't you mad at me? You should be angry with me."
Angelina gives him a sympathetic smile, "Because Alex cares about you and my twin means everything in the world to me. I know you are a great guy and you wouldn't have done something like this on purpose. I can see the regret in your eyes." Before Angelina leaves, she says, "When you go see the guys, please don't tell them I've been stamped or about any of this. I don't want them to worry about me. They just got me back and I don't want them to freak out over losing me again. This is something I need to do by myself. They don't know about Caleb's stamp or what it is doing to me."
Angelina sadly smiles at Willie and poofs away into Julie's house before he could say anything to her. Little does Angelina know, but the three boys she cares about most are in fact in the same boat as her. All four of them have been stamped by Caleb and are receiving jolts that can make them disappear forever.
Angelina appears in the kitchen behind Julie and Flynn, who are sitting at the island. Both girls are looking intently at Ray, pretending to be interested as he tells them about the camera he used to film the performance. Julie has her head in her left hand, which is propped up on the island and Flynn has her head resting in her right hand, which is also propped up on the island.
Right as Angelina takes a step forward, another jolt runs through her, causing the girl to double over in pain. She tries to stay quiet so as to not alert Julie. Her knees buckle out from underneath her and as she starts falling to the ground, she uses all the strength she has to poof up to Julie's room. Once in the lifer's bedroom, the girl falls onto the floor and lets out a gasp of pain. She doesn't want Julie to worry about her. The Molina girl has gone through so much with losing her mother. Angelina fears what it might do if Julie lost her as well.
â¢â¢â¢
Meanwhile, outside the studio, the three boys are still shooting hoops. Luke shoots the basketball toward the hoop and the ball hits the backboard before it goes through the hoop. Alex and Reggie are off to the side, the former is standing near Luke with his hands in his pockets and the latter is standing by the basketball hoop. When the ball hits the ground, Reggie moves forward to grab it as he lets out, "Whoo!" Reggie bounces the ball as he moves back to the spot he was standing in.
When he stops, he holds the ball and spins it in his hands. He looks over at Luke and says as he moves his hands back and forth, the ball between both hands, "It feels like we should be celebrating or something." He looks over at Alex before continuing, "What do you guys wanna do?" He shrugs his shoulders and looks back to Luke before throwing the ball toward the brown haired boy, who holds out his hands to catch it.
As the ball soars through the air toward Luke, a jolt goes through all three boys. Alex doubles over as Luke and Reggie fall to the ground. They groan out in pain as the ball passes Luke and bounces away. Alex lets out a cough as they hold their chests, trying to ease the pain. Alex stands up straight and looks between both boys, "Not that."
Luke stands up and says, brushing off his pants before looking between both boys, "That wasn't like the other ones. It's getting worse."
Reggie stands up and hunches over, catching his breath as he puts his hands on his knees. He looks over at Alex and throws up his hand before putting it back on his knee as he asks, "Why is this happening to us?"
Willie walks up to the three boys, hugging himself as he replies, "It's because you guys are in serious trouble." Reggie stands up straight as the three boys look over at the boy that Alex has been crushing on.
Alex walks forward and asks, rubbing his chest as he tries to ease the pain, "Willie?"
The long haired boy looks between each boy and says, "We need to talk." Reggie touches his chest once more as Alex and Luke look over at each other.
â¢â¢â¢
The four boys are walking down the sidewalk of the busy Hollywood street as Luke asks, "All these jolts that we're feeling is because Caleb put his stamp on us?"
Willie clarifies, "He's threatened by you." The three other boys look over at Willie, who keeps glancing over his shoulder at Luke, "He wants you under his control. I mean, you're the only ghosts that can be visible to lifers without his help."
"And you let him do this to us?" Alex accusingly asks as the three boys stop walking.
Willie turns around and puts his hand to his chest and says, "I can't stop him. He owns my soul." Luke looks at him with furrowed brows and Reggie removes his hands from the pockets of his leather jacket. "Alright? He owns everybody's soul at that club. If he even knew I was here talking to you, he..." Willie pauses as he sighs before throwing out his arms and continues, "He would destroy me."
Reggie looks over to two of his best friends before crossing his arms over his chest and asks, causing them to look over at him, "So if we don't join his club, then the weird power outage thing continues until there's no power left at all?"
Willie licks his lips and closes his eyes as he answers, "Yes."
Willie opens his eyes as Reggie shrugs and asks another question, "What exactly happens when the power goes out?" Reggie looks over at Luke, who looks over at Willie, awaiting the boy's answer.
"That's... that's it," Willie says as he looks at Reggie before he turns his gaze to Luke, "You're done."
"Uh-huh. Yeah," Reggie asks as he uncrosses his arms before he throws out his hands and asks yet another question, "And what exactly do you mean by we're done?"
Reggie crosses his arms over his chest again as Willie speaks up, shaking his head before rolling his eyes at himself, "You just... You don't exist... anymore. Not anywhere."
"What?" Alex asks incredulously. Reggie drops his arms as he looks at Willie with a look of despair.
Luke steps forward and angrily asks, "So we have no choice? We have to say goodbye to Julie and Angel, give up everything we've built together, and work for Caleb?" Willie sighs and looks up at the distraught brown haired boy. Luke doesn't let Willie reply before he harshly says as he backs up, "That's some club you guys got going on."
Willie speaks up as he looks at Luke, "But there is another option. That's why I'm here."
Alex scoffs and asks, "Another option?"
Willie puts his hands together and points them at Alex, pleading, "Just please hear me out." Luke looks over at Alex and Reggie, who is looking down at the ground, looks up at Willie as he looks between each boy and continues, "Alright. If you guys could just figure out what your unfinished business is, you do it in time," Willie throws out his arm, "You could cross over and be free from all of this."
Luke speaks up, shaking his head and throwing out his arms, "Okay. So what's our unfinished business?"
Willie shakes his head, "I don't know, but," he looks over at Alex and Reggie, "Since you all died at the same time, you know," he looks back over at Luke, "It might be something you need to do together."
Alex takes a step forward and holds out his hand to Willie and asks, causing Reggie to look over at the blonde, "Why should we listen to a word you say?"
With tears threatening to spill over, Willie takes a step forward and replies, "Because I care about you, Alex." The blonde drummer stares at the long haired boy, who continues, "And I hate that I brought you..." he glances over at Reggie and Luke, "and your friends into this mess." He almost mentions Angelina, but he knows it isn't his place to tell these boys her secret. She asked him not to tell them and he owes her that much since he is the one that got her and these boys in this mess.
Willie quickly glances away before looking back to the three boys, "I, uh..." he shakes his head, "I-I can't be away much longer." He looks between each boy one final time before landing on Alex and apologizes, "I'm so sorry. For everything." Without another word, the boy poofs away.
Reggie throws up his hand as Alex moves forward to stand in the spot that Willie was just standing in. Reggie looks over at Luke and moves over, looking down the sidewalk as he rubs his face. Alex turns to face his two best friends and shrugs his shoulders, "This is all my fault." Luke looks at the blonde as Reggie turns to face the drummer, "I... I met Willie, Willie introduced us to Caleb, and now..." he pauses before continuing, "Now we're screwed."
Luke licks his lips and shakes his head as he takes a step forward, assuring Alex, "We all wanted to go see Caleb."
Reggie speaks up, "We have to tell Julie and Ang."
The raven haired boy looks over at Alex as Luke looks to the bassist, shaking his head in disagreement, looking between both boys, "No, we can't do that. This just means more loss in their life. And I don't think Angel can bear losing anyone else, especially us." Luke closes his eyes and shakes his head, looking down at the ground, "But if we don't want Caleb to own our souls," he looks back up at Alex, furrowing his brows, "Then we have to figure out what our unfinished business is."
Luke looks down at the ground as Alex shrugs his shoulders and asks, "Yeah, man. And how are we supposed to do that? Alright?" Luke looks up at Alex and glances at something across the street over the blonde's head before looking back at the Mercer boy. "There was so much we wanted to do." Luke looks back to what caught his eye across the street and stares at it. Alex notices the brown haired boy staring at something and asks him, "What is it?"
Not moving his eyes, Luke steps forward and says, "Yeah, but the night we died, there was one thing we all wanted to do together." Alex turns around and Reggie looks up to see the Orpheum is just across the street.
"Play the Orpheum?" Reggie asks.
Alex speaks up, causing Luke to look over at him, "Getting that gig was literally impossible." Luke looks back to the Orpheum with furrowed brows. Alex looks over at Reggie, who looks back at the blonde as he waves around his hand, continuing, "Even after people knew who we were, we had to hustle," Alex looks back over at Luke as Reggie looks back over at the building across the street, "Call in every favor we had. It took us years."
Alex looks back over at Reggie and another jolt runs through the three boys. They all lean forward and groan out in pain as they clutch their chests. Alex starts to cough as Luke looks up at the Orpheum and Reggie lets out an, "Oh!"
The three boys stand up and look at the building, Luke shaking his head as he steps forward, "We don't have years."
