"Right this way." Willie guided us through a building. His hair was tied up now and he wore a suit.

"Woah. So this is where your hotshot ghost lives, huh?" Luke asked.

"Yeah, we've walked past this hotel, like, a million times." Alex said. "How come we've never heard of it."

"That's because this area has been sealed off for decades." Willie explained. "I mean, you wouldn't even know this place exists unless you're invited. All right. I gotta go make sure everything's cool, but I'll be right back."

"The Hollywood Ghost Club." I read off the sign next to me. "Creepy."

"Yeah, well, so are we." Alex justified as we leaned on the balcony railing.

"I don't know about this." Reggie said while we looked down at the huge amount of people. I pat his hand and he grabbed onto mine tightly.

I could just feel the heat rush to my face and I looked away.

"Well, if you get scared, you... you can always hide behind me." Alex said. "I'll be hiding behind Luke."

"You guys need to grow up, okay?" Luke said. "We're gonna get back at Bobby. He needs to pay for what he did to us."

"Yeah." Alex moved his head closer to Reggie. "I'm still gonna hide behind him."

"We're all good." Willie said after appearing next to us.

"Oh, uh, cool. Hey, just so you know, we have, like, an hour, because we got a gig with Julie." Alex told him.

"Oh yeah. No worries. Let's go."

We followed Willie down the stairs.

"Normally, I'd have my deck and I'd backboard this heavy 20 set, but tonight... we have company. Hope you guys are ready for this."

Willie slid down the stair railing the rest of the way and we stayed on the stairs.

"Wow. Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?" Alex asked.

"I think we're a little overdressed." Luke said.

Reggie slicked some of his hair back with his left hand, keeping his right still holding my hand.

We stood by Willie and then an old couple walked through him and Alex.

"Woah! I thought these people were all gonna be ghosts." Reggie said.

"These are all lifers." Willie corrected.

"Oh, uh, lifers are actually..."

"Alive people. I was listening." Reggie said, proud of himself.

"But this is a very exclusive crowd." Willie explained. "Everybody here has, uh, paid a lot to get a sneak peek at the afterlife."

"I always knew rich people did weird stuff like this." Reggie shook his head.

"Gentlemen and lady, I have a table for you." A waiter said to us. "Right this way."

"A lady, Y/N. Do you feel special?" Alex asked.

"Always." I said with a sarcastic smile and we followed the waiter to the table. I sat in between Reggie and Luke.

"William." The waiter took the reservation marker away from the table.

"Thanks, man."

"Okay, so who's gonna make us visible so we can confront our old bandmate?" Luke asked, leaning across the table to get to Willie.
