Juke. ~You only know you love her when you let her go~

Waking up, again-Luke

All I can remember is a void of darkness, almost making me forget about the light in the world. I wince as I sit up. Where am I? I don't understand. It's just more darkness. The only difference is that I am aware of my surroundings, and I sense Alex and Reggie lying on the floor beside me. This was all too familiar until I realize that we were put in a place almost exactly equal to this after we died.

*whimpering*

Alex. Light starts to glisten from the corner of this so called room. No idea where it's coming from, but it's there. I glance over to see the tears streaming down Alex's face. I move closer and start to comfort my friend. I notice Reggie lying on the other side of Alex, in whom still seems to be out. We mostly just sit there in silence, with a few shuffling of our feet and legs here and there. Reggie still stirring in his so called sleep. I wouldn't even know what to say in all this sorrow. 

Julie.

Every path my mind takes always ends up back to the thought of her. Thoughts of her beautiful face, the last thing I saw before returning to this place. I just let my mind think. All the writing sessions spent together. Every mic ever shared. Her angelic voice comforting me everyday. Spending time with her made me the happiest I have ever been. Even if I was in fact, dead. My thoughts then make their way to my mom. More pain sinks into my chest, but also I weird mix of gratitude for Julie's deed of showing my parents my song. I guess I had always hoped there was a chance I would be able to come face to face with mom, or at least speak to her. I had always hoped. That is what brought pain to my chest. 

The worst part of all of this is that I was sure we would've been able to at least cross over successfully. I never wanted to leave Julie, but I knew that Heaven was our best option. Playing the orpheum again gave all of us this feeling. We were all pumped up with adrenaline that every single problem just disappeared from our minds. All of that was soon taken the moment the music stomped. We poofed out of the orpheum unexpectedly. His magic was too strong. Caleb's magic. Just our luck, we were brought right back to the Hollywood Ghost Club, the last place we had set foot. 

I try to find light in this situation to bring our spirits up, for the sake of Alex and Reggie. However it was all rather difficult. 

Reggie has woken up and now has placed his arm over Alex in a tight squeeze. Alex doesn't resist like we usually would. Anyone in this situation would take a small hug from anyone. I join in placing my arms a top each of them. 

All of us somber in our misery in complete silence. Pondering.

A voice speaks, snapping our minds out of our thoughts.
