---Time Skip---
(Luke and Reggie saw each other at their funeral, but they didn't talk to each other or even go within 10ft of each other. Funeral was on New Years Eve. It's now January 20th. Reggie doesn't know about the Beatles yet, but he met a ghost named Joshua. Reggie is still staying with April and Mrs. Harvey, but still can't spends nights alone. He sometimes goes to Willie's to spend some nights there with Willie and Alex. Luke has spent every day with John and George and they're like life long best friends now. April started preschool, The Beatles, Luke and Alex practice together regularly and April, Willie, and Reggie are constantly practicing as well. Willie and Alex keep each other filled in on Luke's and Reggie's emotions and concluded that neither of them are moving on.)

POV-Reggie

"Hey Joshua," I greeted my current best friend other than Alex.

"Hello, Reggie," he replied smugly.

"What's on today's agenda?" I asked. Joshua always has something fun to do. He's been a great distraction from my broken heart, keeping me happy in the day.

"I was thinking we go get drinks and just talk," Joshua had such a calming, yet suductive tone to his voice.

"Bet," I smiled. "Alcohol or just drinks?"

"Let's go get drunk," Joshua took my hand and we went to a club.

Getting fucking wasted felt so good. I was numb, wasn't thinking about anything. No Luke. Nothing. I made sure I was visable and touchable and when I say I was being grinded against by everyone in the club, I mean everyone. Pretty much everything was a blur, but I knew I was horny and drunk off my ass. And all these men and women rubbing against me wasn't exactly making anything better.

POV-Joshua

I stayed sober because I figured I'd be taking Reggie home. And I was right because Reggie couldn't think or see straight to save his afterlife. After he was literally stumbling all over the place, I took him by the hand and dragged him out of the club. He was hanging all over my shoulder and giggling and slurring everything he said.

"We should defetly go back to my place," Reggie stumbled next to me and I held him up.

"Yeah," I nodded, smiling along with him because whenever he's around, you just have to smile. "That's where we're going."

"Nooooo," Reggie shook his head and placed it on my shoulder before almost face planting. "I mean, like, go back to my place."

I looked Reggie with a confused look, but a few seconds later I realized what he meant when he grabbed me through my pants.

"Woahh," I removed his hand, "I am not taking advantage of you."

"Iss not taking advanage if I'm assing you," Reggie stumbled his way in front of me. "C'mon, I haven't been laid in months, juss make my night."

He took both my hands in his. This was very tempting, but I didn't want to be that guy. Even though I've been trying to get in his pants for about two weeks now.

"C'mon Jossshhhh," Reggie leaned really close to me and I could smell the alcohol on his breath. "For me?"

Reggie closed the space between us for a split second and left a very wet and very sloppy kiss on my lips.

"Reggie," I smiled. "You're drunk."

"And horny," Reggie smirked. "So let's go have some fun."

He grabbed my hand and attempted to run towards his house, but he almost ate shit. I held him up by his arm and spun him back towards me.

"Alright," I agreed as Reggie smiled and jumped into my arms.

POV-No One

Reggie jumped into Joshua's arms. His mind was blurry because of the alcohol. His emotions were numb and deep down he knew he was only using Joshua.

Joshua wrapped his arms underneath Reggie and they started a heated make out session in the middle of the street. Josh teleported the two of them to Reggie's bedroom (Mrs. Harvey's guest bedroom) and threw Reggie onto the bed.

"You know I'm top, right?" Joshua climbed onto Reggie.

"That's fine," Reggie practically moaned as Joshua started giving him a hickey. "I like being underneith."

After a few short minutes, the boys' clothes were all over the floor and Reggie was picturing Luke going down on him. And Joshua knew it was wrong to be doing this, but to him, Reggie felt even better than he imagined.

Mrs. Harvey, who was in April's room with April, tried to distract her daughter from Reggie's really loud moans. But it wasn't working and April kept asking her mom what Reggie was doing, and Mrs. Harvey kept changing the subject. Mrs. Harvey counted three rounds before the apartment fell silent. She only knew this because Reggie would always annouce his finishing, which was usually followed by Joshua laughing, then saying "same" or something like that.

POV-Reggie

Joshua pulled out after the third round and I felt nasty. He wasn't Luke. And I felt bad for pretending he was, but I needed something, and I'm not going to lie, Joshua was good in bed, but Luke was better. He did it with love, this was emotionless sex and it sucked. But it was a good distraction and I'd do it again if it means I get to feel.

Joshua laid down on topof me and drowned me in compliments. I didn't have much to say since tonights events meant nothing to me. But I had no idea what this was for Joshua, so I had to make sure he knew this was a one time thing.

"Joshua?" I spoke softly.

"Yeah?" he replied.

"Don't take this harshly," I started, "but I just want you to know that this is a one time thing and if I'm being honest, it means nothing to me. It felt fucking amazing, but it was just meaningless sex, okay?"

"Yeah," Joshua sighed. "I figured."

He got up and started getting dressed, so I sat up and watched him.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Leaving," he said as he buttoned his pants.

"Why?" I asked. "You can spend the night."

"Listen, Reggie," Joshua pulled his shirt over his head and looked at me, "it meant nothing to you, but maybe it meant something to me. I've liked you since I met you, and I've tried to make it as obvious as possible and I thought you finally saw that tonight."

"Dude," I looked at him confused. "I literally see two of you. I'm fucking wasted as shit and just wanted to feel something."

"So you played me?" Joshua asked.

"No!" I got very defensive. "You could've said no. This was one hundred percent consentual. You agreed to it."

"Yeah," Joshua put his jacket on, "before I found out you weren't into me like I'm into you. You used me. So goodbye, Reggie."

"Luke would never," I mumbled to myself, but Joshua already left.

I quickly cleaned up and got dressed and then walked to April's room.

"I'm sorry, Mom," I said when I walked in.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

I shook my head and instantly started crying. "I miss Luke and I made a huge mistake tonight."

She held out her arms to me, "It's ok, honey. We all make mistakes. But mistakes can be forgiven, okay?"

"I literally used someone tonight," I explained as I climbed into her arms. "How is that forgivable?"

"It's wrong," Mom agreed with me, "but anyone who knows you, knows you'd never hurt someone intentionally."

I cried lightly in her arms, still feeling disgusting. Both emotionally and physically gross.

April fell asleep shortly after and Mom and I went back to her room for some sleep, but I didn't move from her bed until January 31st.
