Reggies pov I watch her go hurt that she's hurting. I join Luke "did she leave again?" "You know...she's in pain right?" I ask. He furrows his eyebrows "is she still upset about what I said? I haven't seen her so I haven't gotten much of a chance to apologize" "no Luke. I mean yeah she's upset about that. She let go of her family to be with us. But you went through her private song journal. And took a song and changed it completely and gave it to Julie." I spell it out for him. Hopefully. And I'm supposed to be the dumb one?
"Reggie she said it was okay" he says. "She...you really don't see what's going on? Luke what's going to be her role in the band if you get Julie to join" I ask. He says "what it always was....I'm not replacing her if that's what you're getting at" I say "what band has 3 lead singers Luke? That's not a boy band" just wanting him to see where she's coming from. But he doesn't "we can make it a thing. All she has to do is practice with us like we usually do. Part take and not hide songs from us"
I say "Luke she has the right to not want things to be heard. You took that from her with bright. You took the meaning of the song and made it something completely different. Look." Grabbing bright. The original version. The lyrics are sad and hopeful. "You cut the true meaning of this song out" I say. "It happens. Now we can be seen again with Julie reggie. We have a true second chance" "doing it like this is going to make you lose her luke" I warn.
But we end up practicing with Julie. Alex met a ghost named willie. Julie finds out that luke stole a song from that box. Flying solo. Boundaries luke...boundaries. She poofs in during. And I keep my eyes on her worried. It gets worse when a tear falls as luke says "so does this mean you're gonna join our band?"
Flynn replies "actually I think you're joining her band" and she poofs away and the song continues
My life my life Would be real low zero Flying solo oh oh My life my life would be Real low zero Flying solo without you Hey! Yeah yeah Hey Hey Yeah yeah My life my life Would be real low Zero Flying solo without you You
I immediately poof to her. The girl I was so ready to call my wife. I still am. Somehow some way. I love her and always have and always will. I find her at her mothers grave "I didn't know that would happen." She cuddles into me "you know Alex met a guy....he hasn't looked at someone but me like that in a while..." fuck. I kiss her head "I love you" she cracks a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. Damn those beautiful eyes.

"You know...I never would've thought it'd be so easy for them to replace me?" She sniffles. Breaks my heart. I hold her and wipe her tears and I say "you still have me" "i know. I love them and of course I want them happy. And of course I want to do music. I just...I want it back. I want to be part of their happiness and it's like...they can care less if I'm there. And it hurts. I don't know what I did to make them not care about me anymore but...I just...I don't understand." Her words break my heart.
