Elli's POV

I'm at school. I'm in art class to be more exact. At the start of this lesson, we were given a task that is to be handed in at the end of it. Sometimes we have multiple weeks to finish a project and at other times- like today- we have an hour. Also, we are only allowed to use a certain amount of brush strokes, which is why mine is almost completely see-through.

I'm pretty much finished with mine. It looks like Reggie... I didn't mean to do that. This reminds me of the lesson, where my teacher played ghosts by BANNERS. Wasn't it a leather jacket I painted there? I'm not quite sure to be honest. It could have been the leather jacket. I believe that was at a point where I did not know Reggie's name yet.

Hopefully my teacher doesn't recognize him or show it to other students. My classmates would totally think I had the biggest crush on him. Well, that's not too far from the truth, but I don't know how I would feel about the whole school knowing about this.

The next thing I know is that the school day is over.

Julie and the Phantoms are performing at the Orpheum tonight. Yes that's right. The Orpheum. Alex told me about them being supposed to play there in 1995. The hotdogs they ate decided to put a spoke in their wheel. They would've been big.

They're going to be big.

I follow Julie to our garage. I think today is the day. I'm going to tell them, tell them abut me being able to see and hear them. With them I mean Julie and Reggie considering Alex and Luke have known for quite a while now.

Julie wants to talk to Luke, "Can you do me a favour?". He looks at her. You can see in his eyes that he deeply cares for her. " Anything, Julie you know that", he responds softly.

She pauses like she's overthinking on whether to ask it or not.

"When you cross over", what does she mean cross over? I furrow my eyebrows not understanding. Alex didn't mention anything about crossing over. What is that supposed to mean? What is happening? Julie continues, "If...if you happen to see my Mom..."

It feels like my whole world just shattered. Why would the boys see our Mom? They couldn't... unless crossing over has something to do with dying. No, they can't die, right? They are already dead. They died in 1995 because of some hotdogs. I don't understand.

"Can you tell her I love her?", I am fighting my tears that are battling on which one is going to fall first, "And thank her for bringing you to me". Damn.

I thought and know they mean much to me. I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to Julie.

Luke again gives her a soft answer, "Yeah, I will".

Thank you, Luke, for doing this for her.
Thank all of them for being part of her -our- family.
You brought my sister back to us.
I couldn't resist my tears any longer.
