2020: Present

Julie couldn't believe it. Three ghosts are now living in her garage and they are Julianna's friends and brother. She didn't tell the guys she knew Anna, she hadn't even seen the ghost in the last month due to her going to travel and see some family. She was freaking out, what was she gonna tell Julianna. 'Hey so um your dead brother and his dead friends you told me about are now here and living in the garage'. Of course, she couldn't say that. She was, of course, happy for the ghost, she had been dreaming of seeing them for years now but another thing was the boys just found out it's been twenty-five years since they died. And they don't know that Julianna is also dead and a ghost now too.

She had been sitting on her bed, trying to process everything when she heard a knock at her. It was quiet but she knew it wasn't Julianna, she wasn't supposed to be back yet, she still had a couple more days. "Um, come in," The girl spoke after a moment of silence. Soon after she spoke the three boys were in her room, "Hey Julie," The three spoke, which freaked her out more.

"Please don't do that again," She begged slightly. The three nodded, thinking it was weird too. "Woah, nice room," Reggie complimented, walking more into it as Luke and Alex made a sound of agreement. "Umm, thanks. Not to be rude but why are you guys here?" She asked. "Oh um we were just letting you know we are gonna go out tonight so you don't have to worry about us making any noise," Luke explained to the girl.

The girl nodded, "Okay, bye now," She didn't mean to sound rude, but she would rather be alone right now to process everything. 

As the boys were about to leave something had caught Alex's eye, a notebook. "Hey, my sister had a notebook just like this," He said, now going up to look at it. "Oh, um that's crazy," Julie spoke her eyes widening. Alex nodded, and soon Reggie spoke up, "Yeah that's crazy, it looks exactly like hers," He looked at it closer. "God she had a thing for butterflies," He continued.

Julie laughed looking at her hands, speaking before thinking, "Oh my god I know, one time we were outside writing and she saw one and I swear it took me like ten minutes before getting her back on track," Once she was done she had known she messed up. Looking up at the guys she noticed they were looking at her like she was crazy and was also confused. "Wait, how do you know about my sister?" Alex asked. Julie let out a breath, closing her eyes, "Damnit," She spoke.

"Your sister is Julianna, right?" She asked the boy. Alex nodded, still confused. "I know her because I met her, five years ago and she comes by a lot, I helped her write some songs and she helped me a lot when my mom died," She explained. It was silent for a moment before Alex spoke up, "Wow, that's crazy I mean she's like what forty now? She probably barely even remembers me," He said, looking down at his hands. 

Julie let out a high-pitched noise and sigh. "Actually umm she does remember you, she told me about you guys and she's not exactly forty either," She spoke.

"What do you mean she's not exactly forty?" Luke questioned, ignoring the first part of her statement. Julie grabbed her laptop, opened it, and typed into it before turning it to the guys, "She died, two years after you guys, at seventeen," She spoke to them, letting them read the article she pulled up. "She's been a ghost ever since, for twenty- three years she's been looking for you guys, hoping to run into you," She explained more. The boys looked heartbroken at the news.
