"and did you see the cheerleaders looking at me? i think they were looking at me ... please tell me they were looking at me!" reggie was frantic, overjoyed with the fact that people could see him when he played. more specifically, overjoyed that girls could see him.
it was always the same before we had died; reggie flirted with girls and i stood by and watched it happen as i felt my heart being torn apart inside.

i'd know the sunset curve boys for as long as i could remember and who wouldn't fall in love with the dorky, adorable boy. he was everything i ever wanted but he was too busy being the 'ladies man' to even glance my way.
alex knew about my feelings for reggie, i told him almost straight away.

the night we died was supposed to be the night i told him i loved him. i had it all planned, it was going to be perfect. but that never happened and after we found out we were ghosts, there were more important things to worry about.

"dude, they were looking at you!" luke reassured reggie pulling me from my thoughts. i looked over at the excitable boy and sighed quietly. i felt alex rest a comforting hand on my shoulder as he whispered,
"it'll be okay, you know that right?"
i just nodded in response. i didn't know that. i just wanted him to love me like i loved him. i wanted him to give me the attention he gave to all of the other girls. where would i ever find someone else like him, especially now we're dead!

                ••••••••••••••••••

i had been battling with myself for a week, trying to decide if i should tell reggie or not.
"i think you should," julie said from the door of the studio making me jump in fear.
"julie! you scared me!"
"i scared a ghost? that's new," she laughed and came to stand beside me. "anyway, i think you should tell reggie, i've seen the way you look at him and the way he looks at you-"
"he doesn't look at me like anything other than a friend," i scoffed.
"oh please, when you're not looking he's giving you major heart eyes! and he seems to know every little thing about you he-"
"we've been friends for years of course he knows a lot about me,"
"please woman! stop interrupting me and listen!" julie exclaimed making me silent. "much better! reggie totally feels something for you, please tell him how you feel,"
i sighed,
"julie? is it possible to love too much? i've loved reggie since we were sixteen and he still hadn't grown taller than me yet. when he was fixing his amp in the rain no matter how much i told him that he would hurt himself. i loved him when he would climb through my bedroom window after a hard time at home or when he would help me climb out of my window to hang out with him because my dad didn't like him. i loved him when he sang, danced and played bass with that sparkle in his eye. heck, i even loved him when he would flirt with all the girls that weren't me. i loved him before we died and i love him now. i love the same sparkle he holds when he's doing what he loves, i love the way he picks at his fingers when he's anxious and i love when he is so clueless he makes the most adorable face. i love him but i'm scared that i love him too much. too much for him to ever feel the same," i finished my rant as a tear fell down my cheek.
"oh my god, you love him. like i knew you loved him but you really, really love him!" julie said making me laugh lightly.
we heard movement by the door of the studio making us both turn to look at what cause the sound.
there he stood, with his eyes wide in shock and mouth slightly open. i felt stupid, so stupid and so i poofed out of the room.

i had been alone for a maximum of five minutes when reggie poofed beside me. of course he would find me, this was our place, where we'd go when things were hard, no one else came here, it was peaceful.

i looked at reggie slightly from the corner of my eye and could tell he was trying to string the right words together.
"i- i love you too you know," he said.
i laughed lightly, "no you don't, you just heard me pour my heart out to julie and you feel bad for me,"
"no," he started as he took my hand in his. "i love you! you know how i am... stupid i guess, i never ever thought i'd be able to pull you, you're so perfect and i'm so.. me," reggie said sadly.
i turned to face him, "hey, don't put yourself down like that. you heard what i said to julie. you're perfect, more than perfect to me. it scares me how much i love you,"
"i'm sorry i flirt with all those girls. it must make you feel like trash. but please, please believe me when i say that you're the one i love," reggie sounded desperate as he placed his free hand on my check.
"i believe you reg, and i love you too. i love you more than anything," i smiled as reggie's nose brushed against mine.
"can i kiss you?" he whispered to which i nodded in response not sure i could trust my voice after wanting this for so long.
reggie closed the gap between our mouths and i felt like i was in heaven.
