What A Small World - Julie and The Phantoms - Reggie

Chapter 19 - The Realisation

"Guys!" Reggie poofed back into the studio all stressed out. He couldn't stop himself from spiralling. 

Luke and Alex were lying around on the couch playing quietly so no one could hear them since Julie was in the house.

"Did you get to talk to her? What happened?" Alex stood up staring at him, but Reggie was already on the catwalk pacing back and forth. 

Alex and Luke shared a look, this couldn't be good. Reggie was the one of them who always seemed good even when he wasn't. They knew that, they knew that he wasn't great at tell them what was going on.

"Dude what happened? I thought things would be good now." Luke stood up and walked over to him putting his hands on his shoulders so he'd stopped moving. Staring at him till he looked up at him.

"Alex was right, we did know Olivias parents." They both stared at him confused. Alex was happy he was right for a change.

"And you know that how?" Alex said sitting back down running his hands thought his hair. He wasn't sure how much more he could take after seeing Willie the after day. He really wanted to talk to her about it, see how she was but they hadn't had a chance.

Reggie slumped down into the chair in front of the coffee table as Luke sat back down on the couch next to Alex. "Something she said to me today, do you remember December Rock? You remember the lead singer Jack?"

"Wait you think Jack was her dad? and what Molly was her mum? Come on dude." Luke said with a little laugh, it all sounded a little ridiculous, but he guessed stranger things had happened, like them.

"I'm being serious." Reggie felt himself get angry of a second at him before calming down again "I don't know about her mum but he used to say a River never backs out of a deal, remember?" He stared at them intently hoping he wasn't losing it. 

He boys thought for a minute before Alex spoke up. "I knew that name sounded familiar to me." He shook his head wishing he'd fingered it out first. "When we were at the cafe and she performed, I knew I'd heard it before."

"Ok, alright well why does it matter, surly thats a good thing, he loved you man, you were always his favourite surly he'd be happy." Luke said with a smile he remembered how he used to treat him, all of them, like brothers. 

"I don't know, just seems weird." Reggie said looking down at his hands. It seemed so weird to think how he was falling for his friends daughter now. 

"No, you know what is weird, letting this get in the way of you being happy with her." Reggie looked up at Luke giving his a half smile knowing he was right. "I'm sure she'd love to know that you were friends with him."

"Yeah....he was so talented." Alex said, it was sad, know that they knew they had know her parents, or at least her dad, he seemed to grieve for them in a different way. Not just sad because he was sad for Livie but sad because they had lost them too. 

"And so is his daughter, think we owe it to him to make sure she knows that too." Luke said look between them both.

"Didn't we have one of their demos somewhere? We should find it give it to her." Alex said poofing up to the loft to have a search of it in their things.

"Yeah maybe tomorrow theres some stuff I want to talk to her about first." Reggie said his head still working on over drive. 

"What he just left? That's strange even for Reggie." Julie said looking at the redhead sat on her bed. 

Olivia had managed to convince her aunt that she needed to go over to Julies that evening to look at some notes for science. Which wasn't a complete lie, she needed help with that class too and Julie was getting an A.
