Maddie Molina, Julies older sister has been shut off from everyone but her small little family since her mom died almost a year ago. The sisters used to play music with their mom all the time but they have not played or sang a single note since the...
I wake up and roll over to see Reggie. His eyes are closed but I don't think he is sleeping mainly because I don't think ghost sleep. I smile as I look at him. I just look at him. I don't look away until Julie burst through my door, Flynn following close behind her.
"Good morning love birds." Flynn says. Reggie smiles.
"So ready to scare the living crap out of the boys with our amazing plan?" Julie says.
"Huh?" Reggie asks.
"Nothing, cutie. Now leave so I can change." I say with a smile. He smiles back and leaves.
"That was simple. And yes, we just have to convince them it is a good idea." I say.
"Easy. I gotta run. Parents need some Flynn time too. Get them in and I got the tech." She says with a wink. I smile because I know what the wink was for and wave as she walks out. Julie plops onto my bed as I walk over to my closet and start to fish through the clothes. I decide on something simple: plaid pants and a vintage cream tee along with my combat boots.

I walk out of the bathroom and pose dramatically gaining a laugh from Julie, sitting on my bed scrolling through her phone.
"Let's go teach these boys there own lesson." I say and grab Julie's hand and walk outside with her. We walk into the studio and see the boys sprawled across the couch and chair. Reggie is plucking his bass, with sadness. Luke is sitting staring at nothing on the floor and Alex is trying to balance his drum stick on his nose.
"Snap out of it." Julie yells when none of them notice us. Alex jumps and falls off the couch he looks at us with wide eyes.
"Jeez I think you broke Alex." Reggie says.
"Oh, I thought he came that way." I say, and Reggie and Alex both smile. Luke pushes Alex back onto the couch as Julie starts in on the speech that we semi-rehearsed.
"Do you guys want to cross over or what?" She says.
"Get it together." I say clapping my hand with each word.
"They are never going to let us play the Orpheum." Luke says looking at the celing before his eyes land back on Julie.
"We are nobody." Alex says.
"We are less than nobody. We have no bodys." Reggie says and Luke and Alex both send him accepting nods.
"You are not nobodys to us." I say and Reggie looks at me with sad eyes.
"Someone told me that you don't ask for permission. You book gigs by doing." Julie says looking at Luke with hopeful eyes.
"That was me." Reggie says. I roll my eyes. I shake my head.
"Not it wasn't." Julie and Luke both say at the same time.
"Yes it was." Reggie mumbles and I give him a soft smile.
