16 | BOBBY'S HAUNTING

     WHEN THE GHOSTS got upstairs, they decided to wait for the right moment to strike. Plus they didn't really want to see Bobby changing, especially Hayden. The plan was to freak him out, they were quite literally going to make his past haunt him. When Reggie checked in on Bobby, he had changed into some comfortable clothes and was getting ready to meditate, now was the time to strike.

When Bobby sat down, Luke licked his finger and stuck it in the betrayers ear to which he gagged at. He rubbed his ear but stopped when his candles were blown out, by Hayden and Alex of course. Reggie then decided to blast some rock music while Hayden went into the bathroom and turned on the shower so she would be able to write something in the fogged up mirror.

It didn't take long for Bobby to go into the bathroom, Hayden was sat on the sink counter just waiting for Bobby. The boys were stood by the door, laughing into their hands. The female ghost then began to write on the foggy mirror, it squeaked and caused Bobby to turn and see his own name being written on it.

Hello Bobby

The man let out a small terrified groan and headed to the door. Hayden ran out with the boys and Alex held the door shut while Bobby tried to open it, after he had ran into it. The ghosts laughed at his attempts and his shouts.

"I got it! Let...me..out!"

Alex finally let go and the ghosts watched as he looked around for the perpetrator. But of course, there was none, or there was but he couldn't see them. The man then ran out of his room and outside. Luke held his hands out and he got a high five from Alex and Reggie, before he wrapped his arms around Hayden from behind. The ghosts then heard the helicopter and so they poofed outside to see him flying away. Hayden flipped him off, even if he couldn't see her, it felt good to get pay back. 

Reggie, who had seen what Hayden has done, turned to the boys. "Quick! Let's moon him before he gets too far away."

"He can't see us." Alex spoke.

Luke shrugged. "Oh, it's bot from him bro. It's for us." 

The three boys then pulled down their pants and mooned the living Bobby. Hayden turned away, although she had seen all of them shirtless, she had never seen there backsides and she wasn't planning to ever see them. When she did turn, she saw Julie glaring at them as she came towards the backdoor.

"So, did you guys have fun in there?" Julie asked the ghosts, a disappointed undertone in her voice.

Luke responded as he pulled his pants up. "Okay, you'd do the same if he stole all your songs."

"But you have new songs. With me." Julie huffed. "The best way to get back at Trevor is for this band to do great. And to do great, we have to play at dances, then clubs..."

"And tours. I know." Hayden said as Luke slightly nudged her forward, she was usually the one to get them out of trouble. 

"I'll see you guys at the school. We go on at nine. Please don't be late. There's gonna be a lot of people there."

Alex nodded. "We got it, alright? Don't worry."

Reggie watched the girl leave. "I don't care what Julie says. I'm glad we scared Bobby. Wish we'd done more, like...written thief on his forehead."

"And Alex, how did you shut the door? You could barely open a garage door." Luke asked the drummer.

Hayden smirked and bumped her hip into Alex's. "Learned that from your new friend Willie, didn't you?"

The boy blushed. "Yeah, well. He taught me some things, and we screamed in a museum." The three ghosts looked at each other. "It's a long story."

"You think he has a few more tricks up his sleeve?" Luke smirked.

"Let's find out."

Hayden was about to protest but the boys were already gone, she thought about going back to the studio but Julie didn't seem to be in the mood to see them so she followed the boys and found them on the beach, talking to a boy with a skateboard.

"Oh, and this is Hayden." Alex pointed to the girl.

Willie leaned forward and offered his hand, Hayden smiled politely and gave him a fist bump. "I'm Willie. So...you guys here to learn some tricks?"

He pointed his hand over to two police quad bikes, turning their sirens on which allowed two skateboarding teens to escape a fine they were about to be given.

"Do it again! Do it again!" Reggie said excitedly. 

"Actually." Luke spoke, stopping Reggie. "We were thinking a little bigger. An old band mate stole from us. We wanna confront him face-to-face."

Willie nodded. "Alright, is this old friend of yours a lifer?"

Reggie, Luke and Hayden hadn't heard of his slang and so simply looked at Alex for the answer. "Oh, that's fancy ghost lingo for the living. Little something I picked up."

Hayden noticed Willie's smile when Alex whispered the last part to Reggie, who then spoke. "Ah! Then yeah. He's a lifer. Too much of a fancy pants for street dogs."

"Yeah, I'm sorry. Speaking to lifers is even out of my league." Willie mumbled, but after seeing the disappointed look on their face, he offered something else. "You know, but there is one ghost who might be able to help you guys out. He's kind of a big deal."

Luke shrugged. "Literally, anything would help."

"Oh, alright. Well, um, I gotta go take care of somethings, but I'll meet you where Alex and I met, eight o'clock. See ya." He then skated away from them.

Hayden stopped the boys this time, before they poofed away. "Eight? But we play at the dance at nine."

Reggie grabbed the girls hands. "Come on Hayden, we'll be back in time to play."

"You sure?"

Luke nodded. "Of course. When have we ever been late?"

"You were always late."

"Only if I was on my own." The boy defended himself. "With you there, we'll be on time."

After going back to the studio and practicing without Julie for a bit, the ghosts all left to meet with Willie at eight, well Hayden was practically dragged there by Reggie and Luke. Willie, wearing a black suit with shorts, took them inside an old building where there were a lot of people inside.

"Right this way."

With just a quick look around, Hayden was in awe. "Whoa, so this is where your hotshot ghost lives?"

"Yeah, we've walked past this hotel like a million times." Alex spoke. "How come we've never heard of it?"

"That's because this area has been sealed off for decades. I mean, you wouldn't even know this place exists unless you're invited." Willie smiled. "Alright, I gotta go and make sure everything's cool, but I'll be right back."

The four moved to the balcony beside the stairs. "The Hollywood Ghost Club?" Reggie mumbled. "This place is creepy."

"Yeah, well so are we." Alex responded. 

So hopefully I will get back to writing and making Halie (Julie and Haydens ship name) happen
