We would be lost.

Fourteen ~ We would be Lost.

♫    ♥    ♫

Presley walks through the doors of the studio after hanging out with Julie for a while. They boys don't seem to be there... Until she hears someone sniffling on the couch.

♫ Presley's POV ♫

I turn my head to see Alex on the couch sniffling and trying to calm himself down, he doesn't seem to see me and just walks back and forth in front of me mumbling to himself. "Alex?" I say quietly. "Everything okay?"

His head shoots up and he looks like a deer caught in headlights, his neck is all scratched up from him stressfully scratching himself and his face is all red. "Oh my Als.." I stammer, walking up to him.

"I'm so confused Press. Why are we here? Why can't we just go to heaven... what if I was supposed to go to Hell I-" Alex is speaking fast, almost too fast but Presley has been with him through these talks before so she can understand. "Presley I visited my grave. I was curious and- and.." he breaks into silent sobs again.

"Bubs... Hey, you don't need to tell me it's okay," I used the nickname he loved in hopes of getting some type of positive reaction but to no avail.

"No, I have to tell someone." he wipes his eyes and faces me. "They buried me in a Religious Cemetery P. they- they knew I hated that religion, if god hates me so much why would they put me there? Why would they do that to me? THEY WERE TRYING TO SAVE ME AS IF I NEEDED HELP!" he yells. "I hate this. I hate all of it, I hate being a ghost who knows nothing, I hate being gay, no. I hate homophobia. Why couldn't people just accept we aren't sick."

I looked him in the eye, held his cheeks and spoke, "They've come a long way Alex. People are more open now. We can marry people now, people we truly love. Go walk around hollywood. clear your head and plus I saw this really cute rainbow cafe," with a smile. It seemed to click in his head that a walk was a good idea, but once before he could poof away I grabbed his wrist, and pulled up his sleeve to reveal our matching rainbow bracelets. "Remember Al. we aren't sick, we are just extra. And that's why we're awesome." with a smile Alex hugged me tightly then poofed away.

♫ no pov.. Third person? Idk ♫

It has been about an hour since Alex left, so Presley is occupying herself with writing a song in her songbook, when Julie and Flynn walk in. Presley and Julie ignore each other, assuming Flynn can't see Presley anyway, when suddenly the fashion loving teen comes to an abrupt halt.

"Okay wow Julie you bring me here to explain yourself but you had a friend over?" Flynn says, completely shocked to see Presley just casually on the couch, "wait... isn't she one of your Holograms?" Presley can tell the girl is only Half joking as well as confused as she speaks.

"You can see me? Presley says, not letting go of her songbook.

"Flynn sit down." Julie says. "As I was trying to explain earlier... the band is ghosts. Look around there's no projector for Presley to be connected to."

"No way Jules. She- she's Just a friend of yours huh." Flynn scoffs.

Presley being completely confused, sets her songbook down, and Flynn gasps. "What?! Where'd she go?! Oh my god!!!" Julie and Presley looking back and forth between each other, before Presley tries something.
