Julie and the Phantoms: The (unofficial) second Chapter

Part 21

Julie Pov

I roll over and look around the room slightly disoriented about where I am. I must have fallen asleep in Reggie's room last night. I get up and out of bed, 7 am, time to go wake up Reggie and Luke if they aren't already awake. Over the past few weeks, I have been keeping something from all the boys, they aren't the only ones getting new memories. Ever since I can remember when Reggie was living with us I would always run and Jump ontop of Reggie to wake him up on his birthday, and He would do the same thing for me. I want to do the same thing for Luke, the look on Dad's face last night was one I know all too well, It's the same look he got when he found out that he was going to raise Reggie. It was my Dad's choice to take him in, but we all knew when my Aunt Serenity asked us to watch Reggie for a 'little while', she wasn't ever coming back.
I snuck out of my room and down the hall. I see Reggie's door cracked open just a little bit I peer through the crack in the door. I see Reggie standing over by his bed and Luke still asleep on the floor. Reggie turns quickly at the sound of his door opening, he looks at me and smiles nodding his head in the direction where Luke was sleeping on the floor. "Together?" I mouth to him, "Together" He mouths back. 3...2...1. We both Jump on top of Luke "Ahhhhh! Happy Birthday!" We both scream. "Ahhhhhh!" Luke Screams back grabbing onto the blanket ontop of him and pulling it up to his chin. He glares at us as he pushes us off of him. "Why did you guys wake me up so early."
"Na dude, I let you sleep in it's 7 am. You need to get up Birthday boy." Reggie says. I laugh and walk out of the room to get ready. I get dressed and slide downstairs. "Good Morning Dad!" I say with a smile on my face. "Good Morning, have you seen your Brothers and Luke yet today?"
"Well, Carlos is down here and I saw Reggie earlier, I'm surprised he and Luke didn't beat me down." I walk over to the counter and grab waffles for breakfast. As soon as I sit down I hear them come stumbling down the stairs. "Goodmorning Dad."
"Good morning Ray, "They say running into the kitchen pushing and laughing with each other. "Good Morning Reggie, Good Morning Luke, and Happy Birthday."
"Thanks, Ray." He replies with a smile, they both grab some waffles off of the counter. "Hey, Luke have you thought any more about what we talked about last night." He nods his head. "Have you made a decision? If you haven't that's okay, I just need to know before Monday." He nods his head again and gets a sad smile on his face. "I think I've already made up my mind."
"Oh, Okay."
"If Emily and Mitch thought this was the best option I trust them, they raised me for sixteen years, so they must think this is what's best for me." A smile goes across my Dads face, "alright well how about you stay home with me for a few hours then, and we start to get some of this stuff sorted out." A smile breaks out across Luke's face and he eagerly nods his head. "You three though, you three need to get to school," Dad says tossing Reggie his keys, Reggie catches his keys out of mid-air while inhaling a waffle. "You are so weird," I mumble as we walk towards the door. "Bye Dad! Love You!" We all say one by one as we walk out the door. We climb into Reggie's car and drop Carlos off at school. "I wonder what Dad and Luke were talking about do you know?" I see Reggie shake his head. "I have no idea."
"Reggie, your lying to me." He sits there stone-faced. "It's about what was in the envelope wasn't it." Still no movement. "Reggie! Tell Me!" I wine. "Jules, You know I would I could. It's not my story to tell. He'll tell you when He's ready." We pull up to the school and see Alex and Nick getting ready to walk in. "Hey, Guys!" I say running up to them. I jump on Alex's back. "Hey, Where's the birthday boy?"
"He's with our Dad, they needed to take care of some stuff this morning," Reggie says. Alex shrugs and drops me off his back. "We're still good for this weekend right?" Alex asks "Yeah totally!" Reggie Replies "Great because I can't wait! It's gonna be so much fun crashing with you guys again!" Alex says getting very excited
"I'm just glad I get my own room for the weekend." Nick says "Yeah, and now I get stuck with all three of them." I say rolling my eyes. "Oh get over it, you're going to Flynns tomorrow anyway," Reggie adds. I roll my eyes again before walking into school.
