Something Different (Julie and the Phantoms- Luke)

Chapter 31

It's been a few days since we played the Orpheum but our band was gaining popularity fast. We even made the news which was incredible. Everyone was baffled by our "hologram band". Julie and I have been getting recognized when we went out, it was weird for me since I don't like being the center of attention.

Another thing we found out was that Flynn was the only one outside of the band who could see them and touch them. Everyone else just sees them when they ghost on stage, like how it always was.

Right now I was alone in the studio editing a video for our YouTube page. Ray had filmed our show at the Orpheum, which we put on there but many people were asking for us to do more songs.

That's why I'm putting together a video for Finally Free. No one filmed it when we sang at the club so we redid it here at the studio. I was just making sure the audio track lined up with the footage.

As for everyone else, well Julie went on a date with Reggie. Alex is spending time with Willie and I think he's going to ask him out soon. That was something I couldn't wait for because they are so cute together. And I have no idea where Luke went.

After awhile of editing, I had it where I wanted it and posted it to the channel. It was chilly in the garage because the AC was blasting, but I couldn't turn it off or it would get incredibly hot in here. So I picked up a sweater that was lying on the chair and threw it on, not even caring who's it was. It was really soft though.

Setting my laptop aside, I went into the loft and pulled out my copy of The Lightning Thief from the Percy Jackson series, climbed back down, plopped on the couch and began reading.

These books were a must have in my youth, as it combined my love for Mythology and adventure into one series. My favorite character is Leo Valdez from the sequel series The Hero's Of Olympus. He was just so sassy and charismatic that it was hard not to like him. Plus he's really funny.

"Are you wearing my hoodie?" The voice of Alex asks bringing me from my reserve. Looking up I saw him along with Luke and Reggie standing on the other side of the table.

"Yeah," I say looking down at the pink hoodie "I got cold from the AC and didn't want to turn it off. This was lying on the chair so I threw it on. I would've taken one of Luke's but all he has are cut off shirts and he's wearing the one sweater that he does own," Luke blushed as I called him out for his lack of clothing.

"It's fine, but I'm going to need it back. That sis, it my favorite hoodie," Alex replies firmly but it still made me laugh.

"I'm sorry bro but I might just keep it. It's hella comfy," I state making Alex's eyes go wide.

"Either you give it back to me when you're done with it, or I'll take your sketchbook," He challenged putting his foot down.

I gasped "Oh hell no. Not my sketchbook. That's like the equivalent of telling Luke we're getting rid of his couch. Or telling Reggie he can't write country songs anymore," I took the sweater off as I spoke and threw it at him. Hit him smack in the face.

"My couch is staying right where it is," Luke adds sitting down beside me and I snuggled into him. Stealing all his warmth.

"I'll write country songs until I'm a well know country artist," Reggie admits with a goofy grin.

"Then I guess we better teach Alex to play the triangle or the accordion," Luke jokes only making his friend smack him, Alex had a horrified look plastered to his face.

"I am not learning to play an accordion!" He retorts placing his hand across his chest, utterly shocked that Luke would even suggest such a thing.

Soon they began bickering back and forth like an old married couple. They seemed oblivious to the world around them as they shot rapid fire retorts at one another. Reggie and I were highly amused by their antics, because we knew they were just kidding around.

However things began to escalate as Alex picked up Luke and placed him in a head lock. Unable to move, Luke initiated an attack of retaliation by tickling the blondes side. It was the perfect timing for Julie to come in the room. She was curious about what was going on, but by now the boys antics didn't surprise us anymore. We were use to it.

"Do I even want to know what they are fighting about?" She asks watching everything unfold as she placed herself next to Reggie.

"Accordions," he says with a goofy smile. Glad that he was still with his family and didn't have to cross over. We watched them goof around for another 20 minutes before they finally settled down. In that time I managed to recapture Alex's hoodie, placing it back on. It was too comfortable......
