-  Anyone I seem to care about disappears - 

"Oh my gosh, I almost forgot to tell you. Flynn said the video that my dad made is trending on YouTube. That's a good thing. That means people love our music. We'll definitely be getting calls from managers now." I say resting my hand onto of his on the banister to the porch. he pulls his hand away and I look at him confused. in that moment Julie comes out "oh hey guys" 

"I have something to tell you..both" 

"Oh... okay." I say putting my hands behind my back. 

"We figured out that we have unfinished business. That's why we came back as ghosts." 

"oh yea? what is it" Julie says still smiling. 

"We have to play the show we never got to play." 

I smile "at the orpheum?" 

"makes sense" jules finishes.

suddenly Luke shoots back,hitting the post behind him and sinking to the floor. 

"Luke!" I rush to his side "what was that"

he looks up at me "we don't have much time" 

"What was that? Are you okay?" Julie says quickly helping him up

"We did something that we shouldn't have. The night that we missed the dance, we met this ghost, and he put this curse on us. And if we don't do what he says, then those jolts will destroy us." I sigh 

"Then you gotta do what he says. What does he want?" I say panicking 

"He wants us to be in his house band for eternity. But if we can play the Orpheum soon, then we can avoid all that and actually cross over."

 "Cross over"? I ask 

"As in, like what? Like go to heaven?" julie says looking around 

"That's what we're banking on."

 "So it's either you cross over, be in his band for eternity, or be destroyed by those jolts?" Jules asks

"Yeah."  Luke says he looks over at me 

"That's just great." I say opening the door and walking inside. 

"cami wait!" Luke yells.

I run to Julies room and sit on her bed. a few minutes later she joins me and messages flynn

julie: 

999!

flynn

on my way!

about half an hour later flynn shows up. "Hey. I got your text." I shrug "Don't come too close. Anyone we seem to care about disappears." Julie comforts me slightly and Flynn laughs. "You can't get rid of me. I'm like the crazy glue of best friends." she says making my chuckle slightly.  "I just don't get it. Right when our life starts to get good. Great friends, great band, great guy... then bam!" Julie turns round her drawing "volcano of hurt" I say pointing at it. "seriously don't know why all of this is happening to you two, but that's gonna be a great album cover one day" 

she kneels down next to the box of Julies stuff, and starts rummaging through sorting through it all "you don't need to do that" Julie says. "I know, but I get to check out all your mom's cool stuff." she says continuing to rummage through. I move towards her helping her look through it. "woah" I say pulling out a tshirt. 

"Did you know this was in here?" 

its a white t-shirt covered in diamonds and gems with the words "sunset curve" written on it

"what the heck?!" julie said moving to the floor with us. 

"How do you think she got it?" I say. 

"I... I don't know, but the guys said they didn't know my mom. Why would they lie?"

"Maybe they didn't." I say.

"Maybe she knew them. She could be a fan!" Flynn says excitedly 

"I mean, Sunset Curve was playing the Hollywood club scene around then." Julie said.

"Oh my gosh. What if you were right? What if the guys are connected to your mom? You know, through music or something." Flynn said jumping up. 

"Because she bought their T-shirt?"julie responded laughing. 

 "Think about it. They were the ones who made you wanna play music again. Maybe she knew they could help you." flynn said. 

"So, you mean to tell me that my mom is somewhere out there planning all this? If she wanted me to play music again, why wouldn't she just tell me herself?" julie said taking the shirt from me.

"Maybe she can't. Maybe she has to do it another way. You know, through signs." I say smiling. 

"You've been through these clothes how many times and haven't found this T-shirt? Why now? This is another sign. I'm just saying. It's not over, Julie! " flynn says.

"Really? "Signs"?" julie says still laughing slightly

"You're in a ghost band. It's a crazy world." Flynn said laughing too
