It had been a couple of days since Julianna had seen Julie, she had been busy with Willie trying to figure out things with Caleb. But it was hard since she didn't want to run into Caleb and he turned out to be almost everywhere. She had poofed into the garage and noticed it was empty. Looking around she noticed it had seemed to be empty the past couple of days. Curious she then poofs into the house.

In the house, she notices its quiet but sad presence. She walks around and notices its unclean and messy state. Looking into the room she noticed Ray was sitting on the couch and looked like he had been crying while holding a photo. Walking over to him she looks at the photo he was holding. It had been a picture of him, Rose, Julie, and Carlos on what seemed to be Carlos's eighth birthday. She furrowed her eyebrows, why was he crying? "I miss you so much," Ray then speaks out loud. "Julie hasn't played a song since you left, and Carlos doesn't even want to go to his baseball games, I don't know if I can do this," He continues. She was confused, who left?

Then she remembered. Gasping she places her hand over her mouth. "Oh no, Julie," She spoke. She looks at the stairs before running up them, she runs to Julie's door stopping and taking a quick breath, not wanting to barge into the girl's room. She knew Julie had boundaries and she was gonna respect them. She knocks at the door, before peaking into the room. Looking into the room she saw Julie, she was lying in her bed, her back facing the door. She could hear sniffling from the girl.

Julianna took a quiet breath before talking. "Julie?" She spoke softly. Julie sat up a little, looking over her shoulder, tears leaving her eyes. Julianna swore her heart broke at the sight. "Oh Julie, I'm so sorry," She continues, walking towards the girl and sitting on her bed. 

Julie cried some more. "Where were you?" She asked through her sobs. "I'm so sorry Julie, Willie needed some help with Caleb. If I had known what happened I would've been here sooner. I promise." She spoke, feeling guilty for not being there for the girl. Julie just nodded her head letting the girl know she understood.

"She's gone," Julie spoke, "She's gone and she's never coming back," She continued as a sob left her mouth. All Julianna wished she could do was hug the girl, she wanted to hug her and tell her everything was gonna be okay. 

"Look Julie, when I lost Alex and the guys, I thought there was nothing else in the world that mattered anymore, I had been broken and then I died too. And when I died I was relieved because then I thought the pain would go away. But it didn't. It never did. Not until I met you," She spoke softly to the girl. "You saved me, Julie, you were there and it was like my soul was fixed, like my heart could beat again. And I'm going to be honest with you, it won't get easier, at least not for a while but you will have me, and your dad, Carlos, and Flynn. We are here for you. You are not alone, I promise," She finishes for the girl.

Julie nodded again, her cries had calmed a little now. "I love you, Julie," Julianna spoke. "I love you too," Julie cried, "Thank you, for being here now."
