Edge of great- A Julie and the Phantoms Fan fiction

Chapter Two- Pretty Flowers

Julie's POV

I had planned to spend the day with Luke writing songs. But of course my math teacher had decided to give the class homework for the weekend. So I had to spend a good part of my Saturday working on math, ugh.

I was in the middle of my second calculus problem ( Don't ask how long the first one took me ) when the doorbell rang. I went down to see who it was.

Nick.

I couldn't lie, I had liked Nick in the past. Like a lot. But now I had feelings for Luke. I know it's kinda crazy he doesn't even like me like that! But I just hoped he wasn't here to ask me out. Again.

"Hey Nick!" I said he handed me flowers. They weren't my favorite but they were still pretty. I'll give him that. " Thanks! They're so pretty."

" I wanted to congratulate you on your amazing show at the Orpheum." His voice sounded different, deeper. He was acting strange.

"You want to come in." I asked.

" Yes, thank you" He was acting so weird, but I had to be nice to him right?

"So what's up?" I approached.

" I was just wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me next weekend." Oh Nick.

"As friends" He finished. I guess I should say yes, it was the right thing to do. I was his friend. I couldn't be mean.

Then Luke walked in.

" Hey Julie, did you finish your homework? I got a great hook on a song!" He came in looking down at his notebook obviously not noticing Nick was there and Nick clearly didn't notice he was there. Though for a second I swear he looked up.

I cleared my throat, eyeing Luke. He looked away from his notebook seeing Nick. His smile faded at the sight of him. I looked away from Luke and looked back to Nick.

"Sure, but as friends, ok?"

" Yes, I'll see you next weekend." He left and I turned my attention back to Luke. He sat down on the couch in the living room next to me.

" You wanna write some songs?" I mumbled.

Luke's POV

I was not jealous of Nick.

No, sure he liked Julie but it's not like she liked him right? Right. She sees him as a friend. A good friend who brings her flowers. Who she likes to dance with. A good friend.

Maybe I was just jealous because he could give Julie so much more than I could. Like actually buy flowers. I can't do that. Or talk to her in public like he could. That's why I was jealous.

Or...

Maybe I liked Julie just a little.

Or maybe I liked her a lot but...

Ok I love her. I love Julie Molina. There I said It!

I was jealous of Nick because he was alive and breathing! Plus Julie clearly liked him. She would never settle for me. I'm not even real. She couldn't have a future with a guy who stayed seventeen forever. It would never work. With Nick she could have everything she wanted. So why would I even try. All it will do is hurt one of us in the end. It would kill her and kill me again.

" Yeah, sure, let's work in the studio though." We left for the studio and I had an amazing time writing songs with Julie. She was a great...

Friend.

That's all it could ever be.

Right?
