I think the band is back.

-third person pov-

Julie leaves the studio after realizing the boys aren't cursed anymore by Caleb. Her eyes are puffy and her face is red. She is still thinking about how she can finally touch the boys, especially Luke, but she feels confused because what does it mean? Are they alive? Can other people see them? Were they safe from Caleb? What would happen now that they could touch each other? Would they still disappear every time the music ended? Everything had to have an answer, but it could wait until tomorrow.

-julie's pov-

I walk through the front door, still trying to wipe my tears from what just happened. I can't believe that if I hadn't gone to the studio, the boys would've continued jolting until they were out of energy, and they'd be gone forever. I look up and thank my mom for bringing them to me, and for not letting them leave me. The boys and Flynn have been the best friends someone could ask for. I can never thank them enough. While climbing the stairs, I look up and find a worried Carlos on top of the stairs.

-Julie, are you okay? You said you'd only be a minute and you look like you've been crying. Is everything okay?

Dad comes out of his room and hears Carlos say, " I've been crying.

-Woah, mija. What happened? What took you so long at the studio?

-Oh don't worry about me. I was at the studio talking to Mom and taking some things out of my head. It just got intense and I started crying. - I point to Luke's notebook, which I'd grabbed as I was leaving.

-Awe Julie, come here. Mom would be so proud of you. I'm sure she's up there smiling at you. You played the Orpheum after all!- We all join in a group hug and without noticing, I'm crying again.

-Hey Julie, can I still talk to you?- Carlos says while I'm wiping the tears off my face, again.

-Sure! Let's do it in my room.

-Alright kids, don't stay up too late. You have school tomorrow.

-It'll just be a minute Dad, don't worry. Goodnight, love you. - I said, worried that the conversation with Carlos would take the subject I knew it would.

While making my way to my room with Carlos, I quickly sent a few texts to Flynn:

*We have to talk tomorrow, a lot happened after I got home.*

*Oh my GOD, tell me now!*

*I can't. Wanna meet up before school and I'll tell you everything on the way?*

*Duh!*

*Thought so. Talk to you tomorrow <3*

-So, Carlos, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?- I said, already knowing what was coming.

Don't ghost me! - said Carlos while winking. I immediately knew what he wanted to tell me, and I was scared he would tell my dad or the internet.

-Julie, I know the boys in your band aren't holograms. - he says while showing me the CD poster he found in the garage.

-Where did you even find this?!- I said, worried that he would reveal my secret to all of our fans.

-When Aunt Victoria was over, we saw a ghost mess with the blinds. I went into the garage to look for some stuff that would be here from previous owners, and besides finding a killer French dip sandwich, I also found the CD. -Carlos explains while pointing to the CD.- I didn't think much of it at first, but once I saw the poster, I confirmed my idea that the boys in your band couldn't be holograms.

-Oh my god, I can't believe this.- I said. - But Carlos, it has to be our little secret. Our fans can't know the truth, and most of all, Dad can't know at all. At least until I find a way to tell him, because if he finds out, he'll think I'm crazy and I'll be back to talking to Dr. Turner. You and I both know that it isn't great.

Carlos nods.

-Of course, Julie. I wanted to make a YouTube video about your case, so I went to the studio before the show at the Orpheum and I recorded part of your conversation.- My eyes widened and I frowned. - But I heard you talk to Luke about Mom and quickly realized they were the ones who made you play again, and I'd hate to take them from you. We've been through so much with Mom's death, and I'd rather see you happy.

Tears filled my eyes for probably the 5th time today. We hug as our father comes into the room and sends us to bed.

The next day, after waking up late due to my tiredness, I met Flynn at my door.

-Finally! I thought something had happened to you.

-Yeah, sorry, I overslept. I guess playing the Orpheum is very exhausting- I say, jokingly.

-So? What happened last night? Tell me everything!- Flynn widens her eyes, waiting to listen.

I explain to her, everything about the boys and Carlos.

-WHAT? So, if you can touch them, does it mean they're still ghosts? And isn't Carlos gonna tell everyone? - Flynn yells in excitement.

-Shh, Flynn! The whole neighborhood could hear you. Okay, I don't know if they're still ghosts, and Carlos promised me he wouldn't tell anyone.- I explained

-This is too much for me. How do you deal with it?- Flynn laughs.

-Honestly, I don't know. Come on, we're late for class! - I said, starting to run.

The day went as usual, except for the dozens of selfies and autographs people asked me. I guess it was pretty clear that we were gonna be pretty big from now on. I couldn't stop thinking about what was gonna happen now that none of us knew what had happened with them, but we'd figure out a way. I couldn't afford to lose them. They're my band. My best friends.

When I got home, I went into the studio to check on the boys, but they weren't there, I didn't think much of it. I went inside the house and started doing my homework in the dining room when I heard the doorbell. I opened the door to face Nick's back.

-Nick!- I said, impressed that he was at my door.

He turned quickly, which made me wonder if everything was okay, but didn't think much of it. He gave me the prettiest flower bouquet I'd ever seen with what looked like a wicked smile. I thanked him, but he didn't say a word and left. Is there something wrong with him? Is he still mad that I rejected him?

When I was closing the door, I smelled the beautiful bouquet of sunflowers, and smiled, but quickly felt bad for him. I can't control my feelings. I can't control that I like "air". Nick's a great guy, but these feelings for Luke aren't going away anytime soon.

I was startled when I heard a familiar voice say:

-Poor guy. Doesn't even know that your favorite flowers are peonies.
